This is some of the best quality WWII gun camera footage I've ever seen.

Interesting half-and-half camo scheme on the ship at 6:35 - makes it look like a smaller vessel at first glance. Was this common in the Japanese Navy?

Was that filmed in color or colorized?

Due to the high quality and sharpness of the images, my guess is that it was shot on color film. But I'm not an expert.
