Description
A type of film color film that contains two color emulsion layers for simultaneous exposure. The two emulsion layers of the film contain minute oily globules with color couplers that reacted to form the colored dyes. The two color cans either be placed in separate overlaying layers or integrated on a single support (called integral bipack). Bipacks were used extensively in early color motion picture photography. In 1902, the first two color process cinematography was successfully photographed by Davidson and Jumeaux (Nadeau 1997). By 1932, much of the industry was switching to three color films (tripacks).
