  • Coney Island New York 1940's in Color with music
    Video/Film Restoration Efforts:
    * Originally shot on Film
    * Converted to video
    * Converted to 60 frames per second
    * Colorized using computer software
    * Sound added for effect only
    * Color correction stabilization performed
    * Historical data added just for nostalgia
    Software Used
    I use a variety of editing software from Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere, Avid to Edius. It depends on the project.
    Be aware that video restoration efforts are not always accurate. Colorization of video/film is complex. Artificial Intelligence Tools (AI) or computer software is only as good as the algorithms designed to understand the colors. Colorization is ambiguous since we are trying to go from grayscale to a 3-D signal created around mixtures of red, green and blue. So while it may not be perfectly and historically accurate, it has come a long way over the years. So try and enjoy the efforts to colorize the past as best as we can.

    My Mom was there as a very young teenager. She was on the beach with girlfriends and my Dad came walking by from military leave. 6'2 lean and a big a man with jet black hair. They struck up a conversation and that led to 50 years of marriage till he passed. They had a wonderful life together.

      "Eka C." certain people did not get treated so well either. The mentally ill, under-educated people, people with learning disabilities etc. There didn't exist the kind of handicap access and accommodations on public transit and other public places back then.
      I think a lot of people who think that the world was so much better back them would be in for a rude awakening if they did get a chance to go back to those times.

    Great seeing these videos. I grew up in N. Jersey in the '50s and '60s and remember my parents telling me that's where they would go on their "special occasion" dates. To them it cost some serious money to get from Jersey to Coney Island. They took me there as an infant and toddler but, I can't say I actually remember any of it. We'd spend most of our vacations at the Jersey shore by the time myself and my sister were around. Thanks for the memories though!

Later, we became regulars at Astroland. I'd heard of the long-ago Dreamland and Luna Park, of course, and I later knew of Nellie Bly Park (renamed a few years ago), but I never saw color footage of Luna. Thanks for posting this!

I can’t think of a time in history that had more change in society from the post WW2 40s to the the mid/late 1960s. Music, cars, fashion, politics, ideology took an amazing turn in any direction during those two decades.

    Interesting video, modern day health and safety zealots would be having heart attacks seeing some of the rides that members of the public were entertained by back then. No restraints !!

    This was "My Coney Island" as I am in my 80's, the rides so unsafe the kid in the revolving tunnel actually left with a good bang on his head everynow and then there was a beauty contest ,the man meausing the womans waste seems to be George Hale he and Milton Berle produced this piece of schlock ,now rightly so considered sexist ,Hale was the choreographer for 1 or 2 George Gershwin's plays on Broadway and a friend of my family.
