I used episodes and the 50th anniversary sets and for a few other sets I used both episodes and imaginations and then to colorize I used the sets as references.And to make the shapes I used a lot of preset shapes and items on paint.

Wow! You really know your stuff. I have paint but only use it to edit photo sizes. Great job!!! :thumbsup:

Seeing the Connecticut home with the fab four really is pretty in color. I love it.

12-20-2007, 11:19 PM
Thanks. It was hard though not knowing what colors to use because all i had was the black and white references. Have there evr been any color pictures of the Connecticut set because of all the pictures ive seen, I have never seen the Connecticut set in color.

OH Nuts!

Also this is another one, and an easy one too because I referenced the Lucy Desi dvd collection. This is a slightly different picture than that of the one on the box
http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f197/mases_basement/LucylovesDesi3.jpg


Also to Drew: I loaned my Lucy Desi Comedy hour dvds to my cousin. Until I get it back from her I can do any scene from ILL. As soon as I get it back I can do Lucy as a geisha.Sorry.

Actually, it is said her hair was really ORANGE red, and that it was not so nice in PERSON but great looking in black and white, which it was, you're showing it in color and this is the way it would have looked had the show been done that way.

There are two "I Love Lucy" pictures that I'd really like to see colorized! These are actual still photographs from the show. The first one is from the episode, "Breaking the Lease," and shows Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel singing at the piano at the Ricardo's apartment. It's a really good picture. It's actually one of my favorites of the four of them. The other one is actually on this page. It's from the episode, "No Children Allowed." They are all in the Mertzes apartment at the end of the episode, smiling after making up from a fight the girls and the boys just had. I'd like to see these done with the original pictures. But, if they can't be found, the next best thing would be to take them from the episodess on DVD.

My favorite that you've colorized is in the last batch you posted, that last picture of Lucy. It's very realistic. You could convince someone that it was a real color photo.

You took the words right out of my mouth, SPLAIN! LOL I was about to say the same exact thing in my previous post, but didn't. It made me want to take a flying leap and jump right into my computer monitor! LOL

You know something, when I am having an I Love Lucy marathon now and come to the "Lucy Goes to Scotland" episode, I take out the season five disc that it is on and put in the "Bonus Disc" and watch the fully colorized version! LOL Then, when it's finished, I take it out of my DVD player and put the season five disc back in and continue. LOL I do the same thing with my "Lucy's Lost Moments" DVD. I watch the fully-colorized I Love Lucy cast on The Bob Hope Chey Show as opposed to the original black and white version. I do the same thing with the other segments on the disc, as well. I only watch the color features! :)

I never get tired of looking at Mase's works of art! That's exactlly what they are. And on a more personal note, I woulike to say directly to him...Mase...you are aMASEing! LOL Forget "Amazing Grace!" You're "Amazing Mase!" ;) Keep up the GREAT work, and please keep them coming. We want more! I love what I am seeing! :)

Very well said and i agree totally! Look at the window, he offers so much detail i can see people in the tiny little windows of those many New York brownstones and in the pictures on the wall, you can see every little detail, you don't see that in the black and white versions. I too love the Hope Chevy show in color, i refuse to watch it in black and white any more, just so boring. And the I Love Lucy Christmas show too and Scotland and now do the Fashion show or Lucy vancing with Dan Johnson where she looked her loveliest or at her wedding to Ricky or any of the other great moments, i'd love to see The Fur Coat IN COLOR, same as that mink stole in Scotland. You offer so much detail work that i actually read her fortune in her palm in one of the photos, LOL! And one time you could see the swelling on her leg from where the twins kicked her, LOL!

I'd love to see him redo that montage of colorized scenes that are on the Columbia House DVDs and all of the season one dics of the new I Love Lucy: Complete Series Box-set. If you hit the "Play All" feature on any of the season one dics of the new I Love Lucy: Complete Series Box-set, that special feature/easter egg will come on. I loved his version of the Christmas Show. I'd love to see him do side-by-side comparrisons of theirs and his.

I agree with what you said above, SPLAIN! Every little detail plays a part. He's got every nook, cranny, crack & crevice covered!

I KNOW!!!!! As Monica on Friends would say! You can tell that Lucy was bitten by a mosquito in that shot, the tiny little bump shows on his picture, LOL! Now THAT'S detail! So, i'm not the only one that LOVES that CBS color montage of various scenes that they used to have on the Columbia House videos, and they weren't as good as what this guy does, they only colorized little bits, not everything.

Yeah, it was a nice treat at the time, but they only colorized the characters, but left the background black and white. That's what ticked me off about the I Love Lucy colorized Christmas Special. Only the wraparound segments were colorized, while the flashbacks were in black and white. I mean, why not colorize the entire episode? But, as Sophia Petrillo would say on The Golden Girls, "But, I digress!" LOL They were both wonderful at the time to see them in color, but we've come a long way since then! And, no, SPLAIN, you are not the only one that LOVES that CBS color montage of various scenes that they used to have on the Colombia House. I love them, too.

The first time I saw them was on a CBS television special called "Lucy," hosted by Peter Jennings or Dan Rather, the night that she passed away. I was flabbergasted, to say the least! I tried to find that television special for years, just because of that. With no luck finding it, I found out that it was on the Colombia House videos! LOL And, no, there is NO comparison to Mase's or the folks over at Legend-Films, who were responsible for the "Scotland" colorization. I'd love to put Mase in charge of fully-colorizing the episodes! If and when they fully-colorize every episode, I hope they redo the Christmas show and colorize it in full! I still want to see that colorized "LA at Last" episode that was shown at one of the Loving Lucy conventions! I hope the powers that be or the people in their camp are lurking around here on the I Love Lucy forum!

There are two "I Love Lucy" pictures that I'd really like to see colorized! These are actual still photographs from the show. The first one is from the episode, "Breaking the Lease," and shows Lucy, Ricky, Fred and Ethel singing at the piano at the Ricardo's apartment. It's a really good picture. It's actually one of my favorites of the four of them. The other one is actually on this page. It's from the episode, "No Children Allowed." They are all in the Mertzes apartment at the end of the episode, smiling after making up from a fight the girls and the boys just had. I'd like to see these done with the original pictures. But, if they can't be found, the next best thing would be to take them from the episodess on DVD.


Can you show me the still where theyre at the piano so I can use that as a reference please?

Hey, Mase! :)

I'd love to show you the still where they're at the piano, so you can use it for reference, but I can't find it. :( It's in a book I currently own and I don't have access to a scanner. I've tried doing a search for the picture online, but no such luck. Does anybody know the picture I am referring to and or where we can find it? It's such a good picture! It's from the episode "Breaking the Lease." If I had a scanner, I'd scan it. Maybe I can take a picture of it with my digital camera.

Yes Lucy, teh special, airing the night she died was hosted by Dan Rather and it was great, of course seeing as it was on CBS, they had access to that great montage and used it on the show. Ever see the Weird Al Yancovik VHS called Babalu Music, that also features great scenes and a bit of color also some great music and even a DISCO Lucy version at the end, i play it all the time.

I know, right! I am constantly on here checking and refreshing the page, hoping to see new works of art from "Master Mase!" :)

Anyway, I've got "wundaful" news, Mase! I was in my bed this morning and then it came to me! I brought the book into work and asked if somebody had access to a scanner. The one I had in mind to ask is a really big I Love Lucy fan also! I just recently started a new job and I always manage to encounter a Lucy fan, and she was it. I noticed she had an I Love Lucy greeting card on her desk. I asked her if she was a fan or if the person who gave the card to her was. She said both! :) We call each other Lucy and Ethel! LOL I'm Lucy and she's Ethel! It was so funny. I was on my way to see her today and while I was on my way, I was sending one of my friends a text message. I was in the middle of it when she said goodmorning to me and I let out one of those "Lucy" screams, like when Lucy would have the vacuum turned on and Ethel would come in and say "Lucy a few times and then tap her on the shoulder. LOL It was just like that. I said "Honestly" just like Lucy! Anyway, I brought the book into work with me and I asked her if she had access to a scanner. She said "Yes!" I told her why and she told me to come by with it. I gave her my E-mail and she said she would send it to me when she is finished doing it. Would you mind terribly if I E-mailed it to you? If so, what is your E-mail?

If it's not too much trouble, I'd like the screencap you took of them at the piano from the episode, in addition to the other one.

It's funny to me how things look so much different from the way we remember them, here in color or even watching a show on a 50 inch screen when it was originally broadcast on 21 inches or less. I just noticed the spilled sauce from the Cornel Wilde lunch on the floor the other day, had never seen that before. Like the lines where the backdrops on that wall here with Harpo. Blowing up or showing them in color emphasizes those things that we never saw before.

I have no problems with the photos anymore, but to tell a cherished member that their opinion doesn't matter is rude. Not a good way for a newbie to be acting especially since Coffield has so many friends here ready to defend her and report any bad behavior.

Maybe basement artie can make his own thread for these pics so those who want to look at those pics can do so. Mase has done such a wonderful job with this thread and posting those wonderful colored pics.

Thank - you Irene.
Sorry but I really don't like those deformed photos, so yes I agree they should make a separate thread for those that do.

JaneTVFan - Please cool it and drop the personal attacks. There's no reason for this nastiness.

Ireneparalegal - Please stop trying to play the moderator. You don't need to tell people what to do. Report it and it will be handled. Let me issue the warnings.

SPLAIN - If you don't like it here, please leave. Dawsongirl stepped down as a moderator YEARS ago and you're still here. You sound like a broken record. If anybody else would ever volunteer to be a moderator on this board, I would consider it. Nobody has ever expressed any interest. Despite what you say, these boards are well moderated and my moderators do a wonderful job. The boards wouldn't still be here 8+ years after they were created otherwise.

Woah, sorry people, didn't mean to cause such a heated argument. Like said earlier I was just trying to be teasing. Sorry if I really offended anyone. I'd make a seperate post for them but I don't know if they're worth all that, I just thought it was funny to mess with the pics so people have something new to see while we wait for more :p

No more fighting. What happened. I leave for a while and things are out of control. Lol. Just kidding. Do ur thang Basement Artie. Everyone else, dont fight, at least not in my thread.

Hey There folks. Im back once again from a long hiatus. I finally got my LDCH DVD back from my cousin and now Ive colorized a few shots from it. Ive revamped my whole technique of colorizing so hopefully youll like it. And like Ive always said if anyone has ANY suggestions at all just let me know and Id be more than willing to colorize them. Anyways.... Here are some of the new collection Ive been working on: http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f197/mases_basement/ricarmetz.jpg
