A long time back... I thought about trying to capture motion in colors. Its not particularly novel and my first attempt with color print film (using a triple exposure and red, green, and blue filters) really confused the lab because the rest of the roll looked right, but this one print looked trippy.

My "ok, I could do this with black and white" had me thinking about Agfa Scala slide film (a black and white film) and then using red, green, and blue filter packs and print to color slide paper (cibachrome). I never found the lab that would entertain the idea (and the paper was $$) before I wasn't able to get that print done.

I did play with it in digital though...

Reminds me of these over 100-year-old colour photographs from Russia: https://twistedsifter.com/2015/04/rare-color-photos-of-the-r...

The photographer Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky used a similar process, with separate red, green, and blue exposures with colour filters.

In some of his photos you can see the same rainbow effect on moving objects like water or clouds...
