| Abstract: |
A system is disclosed in which individual frames are colorized by the addition of manually generated color. Color information is blurred, for example, by passing through a low resolution digital encoder for use in frames adjacent to the one being individually colorized. Interpolative techniques are used to reduce the number of frames which have to be individually colorized.

I claim:
1. A method of colorizing a series of black and white frames having relatively high resolution and containing only black and white information in a motion picture motion sequence, comprising the steps of:
- (a) generating color information for a single frame in a sequence,
- (b) blurring all portions of all said color information, and
- (c) combining said blurred color information with said relatively high resolution black and white information to generate a colored frame corresponding to said black and white frame and having high density luminence information and low deposing color information.
