Currently Playing: Atlantic City Boardwalk c.1919 Film Restored to Life in Color with Sound

Atlantic City Boardwalk in 1919. Restored to life with 4K deep exemplar-based video colorization and added soundtrack. Views of a crowded board walk, pedestrians, chair cars - a very Atlantic city tradition - a glorious beach and bathers. The cameras were fixed to a chair car and rolled along the boardwalk, capturing the usual surprised smiles of passers by. In 1919, the movie camera was still a real novelty. How silent footage is colorized and brought to Life I take early fragments of silent 16fps footage and restore them to life by a combination of manual frame by frame colorization as well as the use of deep exemplar-based video colorization techniques. The footage is upscaled and the frames interpolated to a higher frame rate ( in most cases 60 frames per second.) Finally I produce a soundtrack which helps build a new immersive experience for the viewer. Together, these processes revive old fragments of footage, offering audiences a more vivid and engaging glimpse of lives long since lived in the distant past. The colorization process used Deep exemplar-based Video colorization. https://arxiv.org/abs/1906.09909 Color Grading by Vegas Pro Support my channel while treating yourself to some magically restored downloadable vintage makeup and hairstyling books from the 1920s to the 1960s - direct to your device : https://vintagemakeupguide.com/ Harp Ambience by Erick McNerney Licenced by Pond5 60401258
