Three-strip Technicolor cameras had to be rented and were very heavy
After Kinemacolor, Technicolor became the most widely used coloring system for motion pictures. When this process was first introduced, it utilized a two-color red and green system. In 1917, the first feature-length Technicolor film, The Gulf Between, was released. In 1929, Technicolor was upgraded to a three-strip process that provided a full range of colors. Technicolor films were expensive to make because they required 3 times the amount of film as a black-and-white production, and the set lighting had to be more intense. During the filming of The Wizard of Oz, the increased lighting heated the film sets to temperatures exceeding 100 °F.
