showcasing color
In San Francisco, a ship brings in a shipment of tropical fishes from Hawaii for the local aquarium. This is obviously an early color film trying to showcase the new technology. It's a 2-strip Technicolor method. It looks a bit faded compared to its later techniques. The only color jumping out is red. It's not the most compelling in visual composition. They film all the fishes with the same blank background. It's artistically blah.
