New York c.1899-1950s: Restored To Life in Amazing Footage

Time travel back 124 years to experience a typical day in New York city in these AI restored early films made between 1886 and 1904. Colorized and upscaled to 4K 60fps using deep learning AI.
AI breathes new life into New York at the dawn of the 20th century. Early motorized automobiles and electric trams can be seen scooting by horse-drawn carriages, which had been the mode of transport for hundreds of years.
Vintage clothing fashion for women in the 1900s was also on the eve of a revolution. American women are fondly remembered by the term "Gibson Girl" - the vernacular for Edwardian era fashion. In this film women are still seen walking about on the New York streets long trumpet skirts, and feminine shirtwaist blouses, held in shape by corsets. The fashionable hairstyle of the day was the 'pompadour.' which became fashionable again in the 1940s and the 1980s.
The Restoration Process:
To bring old silent 16 fps footage to life, several processes are typically employed:
1. Colorization: Using advanced algorithms and manual techniques, black and white footage is meticulously colorized to recreate the original colors of the scenes. This process involves extensive research to ensure historical accuracy.
2. Upscaling: The footage is upscaled using sophisticated algorithms to increase its resolution while preserving as much detail as possible. This helps enhance the clarity and visual quality of the footage, making it more suitable for modern displays.
3. Interpolation: Interpolation techniques are applied to increase the frame rate of the footage, smoothing out motion and reducing the choppiness inherent in low frame rate silent films. This involves generating additional frames between existing frames to create a smoother, more fluid motion.
4. Adding a New Soundtrack: A new soundtrack is composed or selected to accompany the footage, adding atmosphere and depth to the viewing experience. This may include background music, sound effects, and even dialogue or narration to further immerse viewers in the historical context of the footage.
Overall, these processes combine to breathe new life into old silent footage, allowing audiences to experience the past in a more vivid and engaging manner.
