Edward Raymond Turner (18739. března 1903) byl anglický fotograf a vynálezce, který si spolu s Frederickem Marshallem Leeem 22. března 1899 nechal patentovat jednu z prvních technik výroby barevných filmů.

První barevný film v historii kinematografie

V roce 2012 Britské národní mediální muzeum v Bradfordu oznámilo, že našlo nejstarší barevný film v historii kinematografie. Film Edwarda Raymonda Turnera z roku 1902 byl nalezen v zapečetěné plechovce, ve které zůstal 110 let. Film byl zachycen na filmu s neobvyklou šířkou 38 mm (standard je 35 mm), takže aby bylo možné film promítnout, bylo nutné zkonstruovat na něj přizpůsobený projektor. Ve filmu je vidět mimo jiné děti autora filmu, jak si hrají, papouška a akvárium se zlatou rybkou.

Object from the National Media Museum Collection. Edward Turner’s method for creating moving colour pictures was to record successive frames on black and white film through red, green and blue filters and to project these sets of three frames superimposed through similar filters. Images are projected through red, green and blue filters onto a screen at the rate of 16 pictures per second.

Following a transfer of the collection from the Science Museum to the National Media Museum in 2009, two rolls of film were discovered. Curator of Cinematography, Michael Harvey, identified them as being original Lee and Turner film and organised initial tests to see if the colour information could be recovered.

Initially we took three frames of film, coloured them red, green and blue and superimposed them in Photoshop. The resulting image, in full colour, was stunning.

This led to us considering restoring the whole roll of film in this manner. This was undertaken by archive experts David Cleveland and Brian Pritchard using a combination of traditional laboratory techniques and digital technology. They followed Turner’s method exactly and were able to reveal the full-colour moving images. They can now be seen for the first time in 110 years in the Museum alongside the original equipment used by Turner.

Edward Raymond Turner worked as a photographer in London from the age of 15. In 1898 he was employed at a studio making the first commercially-available colour photographs. He must have realised the potential of applying a similar approach to the latest invention, cinema. With financial support from Frederick Marshall Lee, Turner produced the first British patent for colour motion pictures in 1899. Securing a patent for an invention is one thing; realising it practically is a different matter.
