High angle camera shot of the junction of Euston Road and Pancras Road, not far from Kings Cross. Dusk. Sound On. Original Director Charles Goodwin Norton
Both my great grandparents were born that year, lived through two world wars, and both lived right into their 90s so i was a late teen when they both passed in the mid 1980s, but now i am older i understand who lucky i was to know and remember them, andcto think they were born is this time period is amazing. Great work.
I suspect that the gap will not be as great. The technological curve has been almost vertical since this film was recorded. That will not continue forever.

@@Martial-Mat It looks like the AI will see it continue and accelerate. For example, film companies are forming now that will rely almost exclusively on AI and they will compete with and better Hollywood. More imaginative storylines, better visuals, deeper character development, unusual cinematography, faster production, new distribution methods etc. we will see a whole knew cinematic language develop. AI music software is incredible with some pro mastering after production, also AI driven, it is indistinguishable from traditionally produced tracks and great work can be achieved and ideas tested at incredible speed. Last Friday, I took a Bowie track, removed the vocals, dropped the backing track in to the AI and gave it the track Lyrics. It sang the vocals in a Bowie like voice, I didn't intend that, and changed the vocal melody and word emphasis to come up with a remix of a totally unique variety. I don't know of any cover version or remix of any song that has changed the vocals in such a way. We are entering a very creative period, perhaps the greatest this world has ever seen and it will be AI driven. We are accelerating. :)

Usually if I see "AI" in the title, I don't even bother to click. It's especially bad at video and photo restoration. It's just so bad at things it is not familiar with, and this scene is no exception, although it's better than many. The figures are well rendered. The colour restoration is my favourite part of your videos.
Generally the restoration quality relies a lot on the original source material quality, photo and film. There is a lot of junk out there AI upscaling and colouring. The original material for this film was pretty poor. I also worked on this clip last autumn, the tech has moved on a long way since then. Check out my other channel for more recent work - www.youtube.com/@livingedgeai Keep an eye on that channel for some phenomenal restoration and colourisation.

Yup, authentic Liquid Drum & Bass 1898 stylee! Vicky was a huge fan. It inspired Albert to pierce his dingaling lol The music was chosen to aid in bringing the film, and the people in it, in to the 21st Century. :)
@@livinghistoryaienhanced The music was a bad choice. Your audience will assume the title means that there will be the recreation of the diegetic sounds that would be captured if audio of the scene was recorded at the same time as the film was. Tbh I presumed the shit music was just a last-ditch attempt to replace unlicensed audio.

Great work.
Wow!
No traffic lights - not even a policemen! I bet crossing the road was an adrenaline rush for most people.
1890's Drum and Bass
Equivalent to people from the year 2150 looking back on us in 2024... imagine what the world will be like in the mid-22nd century.
Hunter gathering is at the end of the current trajectory it seems :)

The music is accurate 🤔

Pity AI couldn't add sound and not that shit music
You can't jaywalk like that any more!!
How many "shots" is this made from? Is it originally "moving" pictures? Thanks.
Original one shot film from 1898.
Shame about the music. It just needs hooves on cobbles & metal on rails.
Keep the 4K but lose the colour.
Too late 😁
