Titanic in Science Fiction

[Paul Lee]

Presumably the footage from "Titanic" was tinted or colored so that it matched "The Time Tunnel" episode?

Michael Rennie wasn't very friendly, 'The Day The Earth Stood Still'.

Actually if you recall..Rennie's character and his Robot came to Earth to halt the advancement of atomic weapons...so maybe it was the Earth that was not being very friendly!

It appears when the time travelers are tumbling through space towards the Titanic at sea, the footage has been tinted -- at least the sky and water. The ship striking the iceberg scene is viewed by the Time Tunnel controllers on a black and white television screen, so the footage didn't need to be tinted. I would imagine in 1966, the footage was combined in an optical printer using colored gels to make the colors of the sky and water. There were no computer-generated effects in 1966 like today.
