6 Years of IMDb

6 years of watching and reviewing movies for IMDb... I never dreamed I would become a top movie reviewer - but I've had that badge for around 3 years now. My lifetime total may continue getting bigger too if I keep this up with them. lol.

and Dr. Vitus Werdegast (Bela Lugosi)

Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932) - Dr. Mirakle (Bela Lugosi). 
This photo took 6 to 7 hours to deatil because there is so much to it. But it was so much fun to create! I could not decide what wall and floor colors for the photo so I did created 2 versions. 

Orange - Full Photo. 

Green - Cropped Photo

Bela Lugosi Dracula Colorized

What I have colorized so far - My Bela Lugosi as Dracula colorizations.

 Dracula 1931 - Bela Lugosi

 This is the first detailed movie still I created.

Van Helsing (Edward van Sloan) and Dracula (Bela Lugosi).  

 

His cape was gray in the movie and NOT the red so I colored the inside lining gray as it really was.   -- The red color films black in B&W and that is the reason Bela wore a gray lined cape.

Colorizations

I started teaching myself how to colorize B&W photos on Thanksgiving Day 2015. I've been practicing the last few days lol.

I'm having quite a bit of fun at this. It's interesting and relaxing I find. Good hobby for me.  Some of them are time consuming while others are quick to create - it all depends on the number of objects in the picture and how detailed it is. The simpler the photo, the quicker it is to colorize - the more details in the photo the longer it takes.
