My Grandad was still doing that in Yorkshire in the 1970s lol I’ve loads of photos of them on huge extended family days out. All the men have their trousers rolled up whilst sitting in suits, waistcoats and ties. Looks so odd lolol
The days were dignity and self respect were still in fashion. I am so grateful to people like you, Working hard to preserve our history, It makes my heart swell being able to see them.
No plastic garbage on that pristine beach. The pleasures of a non disposable society. This is so beautifully restored. Looks like it was filmed yesterday. Thank you for what you do. 👏 👏 👏
@@noahway13 before phones people had their heads in books and magazines. People have always tried to avoid conversation. How old are you? You don’t remember a time before mobile phones?
@@dariel7001 People did not walk down the beach while reading a book. They put the book down and walked. Now, they walk while playing with phone. They sit down and still look at phone. Someone speaks to them, and they answer while looking at phone. You did not hear of people back then being addicted to books or magazines like is discussed today about phones. Do you have enough brain cells to understand this?
The only thing that I don't like is that you feel that you are there and that you can just go for a walk about and enjoy the day with them, however you can't as you are in 2021.
100 years later. You don't often see men wearing suits on the beach these days or women all decked out including stockings, shoes, hats & jewelry in the sand.
So true, and they've improved the film by adding such vivid colours, I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that this was 100 years ago, and these were real people, and not actors on a modern movie set! Mind boggling, but fascinating. :)
Back then, people didn't have access to a lot of the fabrics we use for beach wear. No spandex, polyester, nylon. That meant that once clothes got wet, they stayed wet and stretched out. As much as I love natural fibers and the styles of the time, I'm extremely grateful that my swimwear choices include those synthetic fabrics. I can't imagine swimming in wool was particularly pleasant feeling or smelling.
Bingo, their clothes when smartly tailored were a sight to behold but the truth is that we have very significantly better clothes due to petroleum. Being able to get wet and dry off extremely quickly is a huge boon.
I think that you are right to some extent and wrong to an extent. The idea that wool is unpleasant feeling and smelly shows that you clump all wool together regardless of weight, construction and fiber. As one who has deliberately benefited from wool many times in various outdoor adventures I can assure you it matters a LOT. Wool can hold it's own with any other fiber in the segment if dealt with properly (right kind of fiber constructed properly into a sturdy but lightweight cloth and then tailored into a well fitted purpose built garment). Not that I cannot appreciate the synthetics we drape ourselves with these days because I certainly can.
@@SaneAsylum soggy wet "i literally went swimming in this" wool is miserable and smells like dog, no matter how tailored or fine. It gets heavy and if it is knitted, as those old fashioned bathing suits were, it stretches out. It's fine and even preferable for other outdoor applications (socks, sweaters, blankets) for its excellent thermal properties. Washable wool (chemically treated in a modern process) even takes away a lot of the downsides as far as care is concerned. I'm a huge champion of natural fibers, but you seriously can't beat synthetics for some things. I'm quite happy with a swimsuit that doesn't get heavy and doesn't stay wet for days.
It’s like looking briefly through a lens with a view to 1920. No odd, flickering images of people jerkily moving about - but people as “real” as those next to us right now. Breathtaking, Thank you for doing this.
The intensity with which the man on sand bottom left speaks to the girl hidden under the umbrella at 1.01… a long forgotten conversation that was important at the time.
The elderly man with I assume his wife looked amazing. Reminds me of my great grandfather who would iron his shirt and wear a suit to walk down to the corner for the paper.
@wilsonserv If you look closely enough, you can tell his hands have noticeable tremors. Doing the math, there's a good chance he was a teenager during the Civil War. If you carefully look at how each of them behave, there are a few other interesting things about that moment on an afternoon, so long ago.
oh my this seems like traveling thru time and it feels like it is today and I wish I was there just for the experience because I love my time as a 67 year old 2021!
Terrific, who could vote the thumbs down for this...The mind boggles. This restoration is truly amazing. Apart from the visual enhancements the painstaking way you have synchronized the pseudo sound is a masterpiece..... A wonderful film......
I didn't down vote anything and I have no problem with this being shown or it being colorized. These old films are always strange though. And when enhanced the strangeness is also enhanced. It's the bewilderment. Look at the faces. Fish out of water. Clothes on the beach. Never seen a beach before. As the character they call Napoleon once supposedly said. History is a series of lies agreed upon. The people in this reel are are actors playing roles. Showing new citizens what is correct and expected. Now what's correct and expected is that you get vaxed and follow all directives of the totalitarian state. Interestingly, Florida is one of the least tyrannical places now.
@@389383 Have fun with low vitamin D and your covid. Stay clueless and Law full. Believe everything the corrupt officials tell you. Get in line for your booster.
It’s amazing that they don’t mind wearing their beautiful dresses in the sand. It’s so relaxing watching these videos. Thank you for your hard work transforming these films. The people of that era become more relatable when the speed and color is changed.
Just today I saw an old photograph of my home town in 1913. It was taken in the centre, near our town hall, and you could clearly see the building and its clock tower. I realised that people back then must have looked at the town hall clock to see what time it was just as I have done many times in my lifetime. It made me feel connected to them.
They all lived their lives and are gone now. Just as someone viewing videos in 2121 will see us all today and we'll all have lived our lives and be gone.
This is stunning. So well done. History is so interesting. Not to mention what changes happen in the matter of 100 years! Lol couldn’t be more different. Makes me wonder what people in 100 years from now will be like and think when looking back on videos of us now. (Hopefully we improve…)
It is an interesting concept to wonder how people 100 years from now would view something so specific as our beach activities. Will they have embraced public nudity by then and wonder why we bothered to cover up what little we did? Will they have gone the other direction and wonder why we willingly exposed our skin to UV rays? Will outdoor activities even be a thing, for that matter? After all, unless you're a surfer or the like, all you do is sit there, on the ground, maybe at one point walking to put your feet in the water, as if water is something special... Okay, falling down the cynical rabbit hole. Will people 100 years from now know what that means?
Oh glamourdaze...You NEVER fail to amaze me. What a wonderful job you do in the art of restoration. Wow...You are just wonderful. You share the past with us and we appreciate it. Thank you. " That's All. "
Gorgeous clothes, who doesn't appreciate a man who wears a suit to the beach! So we're still trying to leave the Edwardian styles and move forward to more modern clothing. You can see the older lady still holding on to her styling while the younger generation is raising those hem lines, except for the last lady who I think might still be wearing a corset.
Most of them are still wearing corsets, and if not corsets, then corselettes. The last lady was obviously a fan of tight lacing and narrow waist, but the style was over. The shaping underwear back then was about straight lines and narrow hips.
It's wonderful what the colour and clear footage do! Makes them so realistic, like we're looking through a screen of time travel. Much easier to view them as real. I just can't watch it enough.
If you take away the time and place, the fashions and other material things, you are left with something that will never, ever change; humans gathering together, seeking community, love and joy. From that perspective, the 1920s aren't all that different from the 2020s. Thank you for posting these wonderful videos of days gone by!
Exactly! Definitely fools the brain into thinking these are actors on a movie set or something, and not real people 100 years ago, long dead. Sad, but fascinating.
@@3DPeter clueless is your middle name but should be your first name. This is way above your pay grade anyways so best you just go back to the land of OZ. Wow
Interesting how everyone is pretty well covered up. This was before Coco Chanel popularized tanning. A tan then was considered "lower class"...it signified you worked in the sun.
Women then cherished their beautiful skin! In China they still do and beautiful skin raisers eye brows! I felt like I was in the video day dreaming thinking of all kinds of things as they must have thought. That long ago video is now in their lives and minds. Just like we are here now in another century thinking thoughts as they did but differently towards our dress and clothing, cheerful to be at the beach hearing the sounds of laughter, thinking of relaxing and enjoying family and friends as then as today. People might then had a lot of the same desires, laughter, remorse, desires as we have today.
god im so tired of this “worked in the sun” crap. everywhere you turn on the internet there’s someone telling you about how tanning means you’re a farmer and no one has grown out of the mentality in the modern era🤣 Let’s hope Asia get a Coco Chanel of their own then so they can stop discriminating against their own people for not being the colour of polished rice
I was just thinking the other day, that out of all the channels I have subscribed to…this is hands down my favorite channel! And now you post this beautiful vintage video from Florida and I am only about 2 hours from Palm beach. 🏝 These videos make my day!! Thank you!! ♥️♥️♥️😊😊😊
I used to work in a film company and I am very glad that new techniques can enhance the old films to this high level. It is unbelievable and I love it. Thank you for all the efforts that you make.
Amazing stuff! The quality of these restorations is getting better and better! I'm particularly impressed with the coloring on this one. Very beautifully done!
The woman in the red jumper would certainly have attracted attention wearing that corset. She must have borrowed it off her mother -- that corset style is from pre-1900. What makes it look really odd is the jumper: Coco Chanel popularised knitwear for women, but it was not acceptable to wear knits back in the corset era (except for factory/ rural workers).
I guess having a tan in 1920 was still thought to be that of an outdoor laborer and not of the pasty white rich. That being said, this video has the quality of something recorded yesterday. Well done. I love this channel.
@@JonFrumTheFirst No more so than black people would want to be white according to your plumage theory. Birds of a feather flock together unless the color differs.
there are a lot of tanning elitists in these comments which makes me wonder whether their minds are stuck in this era. Like why would someone be upset over what occurs naturally when you stay out in the sun? And if people like tans, well that’s well and lovely. Bringing class into it just sounded like jealousy from the pasty people who probably turned red instead of brown lol
TRULY AMAZING. Viewed like this.... makes everything appear just like us today... simply with different styles and older stuff. People.... just like us. Families just like ours. THANKS
Always amazed how old black & white film is colourized, adjusted to a standard frame rate and with voices and sounds dubbed in. Excellent work. I salute you.
I feel sad when the ending says "that's all", I want to continue to watch, I can't look away!!. I also don't feel like much of a lady when watching this. I'm modest with my entire but these ladies bring class too a whole new level. It's sad to know most of these lovely people are gone now. I want to talk too each one of them, find out about who they are, I want to know more. 😉❤️
This looks like the winter in Florida. You can tell by the last woman's outfit for sure. People are not uncomfortable in clothes on the beach at this time of year, we do have some cooler days down her especially by the water. If this was June-August these people wouldn't be on the beach like that. And since these are wealthy folks you can safely assume they are wintering in Florida as there was no air conditioning back then so living down here all year round was not for the wealthy, only for the workers. People didn't actually start living in Florida year round until air conditioning became widely available.
In March 2018 we had a family holiday in Kissimee ( did the Disney thing) and it was a superb experience. On one day we went to a water park and it was slightly overcast, the temp had dropped by only 2 or 3 degrees...the staff were in tracksuits, jackets and beanie hats telling me how cold it had " gotten". It was positively balmy compared to March in Lancashire , England where we are from...we had the whole place more or less to ourselves. No queues, no " come back in ten minutes" or anything like that. Tje next day we went to the parks themselves and it was cracking the flags ( very warm) again. Amazing that wherever you come from gives you a totally different concept of weather. Superb video, brings these long dead folk to life again. Good luck from England
@@bluetickfreddy101 Now they are called Snow Birds back then they were simply just called rich 😀 And yes it is beautiful down here in the winter. And the snowbirds are coming down earlier and earlier now a days. It's only October and Naples is full of them already.

I used to work in a film company and I am very glad that new techniques can enhance the old films to this high level. It is unbelievable and I love it. Thank you for all the efforts that you make.
I don't know but when I see videos of the past my eyes are such a bit of tears
I adore those seasons 💞💞💞
Как подумаешь, что всех этих людей давно нет.. А они жили...любили...как и мы... ❤️👍😊
It brings them to life with the remastered coloring.
What a great country we once had
Amazing. It's od to us today how everyone was dressed up to the hilt to go to the beach. Guys with suits & ties.
I love the fashions and styles of that year ! You did a wonderful job with this !
It`s incredible! This is a magic of motion pictures in ultra HD color. I can see people 100 years ago as if they`re still alive.
I love your videos I just wish they were longer they make me feel like I'm right there within the movie
Amazing,one century ago!!!
Love your videos. They transport you back in time if only a few minutes. Thank you for posting.
These videos are awesome. It's as if you're actually there in the past. I really enjoy these. Thank you.
Amazing stuff! The quality of these restorations is getting better and better! I'm particularly impressed with the coloring on this one. Very beautifully done!
sera que essas cores seriam reais da epoca , ou e feito na imaginacao do editor ?
Beautiful I love the clothing too people don't wear enough of it in Miami Beach...😃🌴💋
Realmente muy agradecido para ver el pasado como si fuese ayer, prestando mucha atención a las personas, modos y costumbres de esa época. Saludos!
Loving these old films.
Beautiful people in stunning clothes i like the lady at the end with the hourglass figure! ❤
She's still wearing the edwardian corset I guess. Might be because she prefers the look or the support.
The woman in the red jumper would certainly have attracted attention wearing that corset. She must have borrowed it off her mother -- that corset style is from pre-1900. What makes it look really odd is the jumper: Coco Chanel popularised knitwear for women, but it was not acceptable to wear knits back in the corset era (except for factory/ rural workers).
I think she was wearing a corset?
Elegant and respectable attire, love the parasols..
Can’t think of a better way to use this technology. Not so different than us, were they? Culture, style, and innovations have changed.🤗
So amazing to see in color, brings past history to life. Thank you for all your great work on these projects.
Beautiful work. Best one I've seen yet
Absolutely wonderful! and thank you for sharing this video with me and many others.
I love these!! ❤ so peaceful
Just amazing! That could have been yesterday...
I guess having a tan in 1920 was still thought to be that of an outdoor laborer and not of the pasty white rich. That being said, this video has the quality of something recorded yesterday. Well done. I love this channel.
If you stop and think about it, why would white people want to change color during the summer? We aren't birds with seasonal plumage.
@@JonFrumTheFirst No more so than black people would want to be white according to your plumage theory. Birds of a feather flock together unless the color differs.
@@Msciwoj-j4x Opinion noted.
there are a lot of tanning elitists in these comments which makes me wonder whether their minds are stuck in this era. Like why would someone be upset over what occurs naturally when you stay out in the sun? And if people like tans, well that’s well and lovely. Bringing class into it just sounded like jealousy from the pasty people who probably turned red instead of brown lol
@@urmom90210 "Like why would someone be upset over what occurs naturally when you stay out in the sun?"
You mean skin cancer?
TRULY AMAZING. Viewed like this.... makes everything appear just like us today... simply with different styles and older stuff. People.... just like us. Families just like ours. THANKS
It's amazing to see how my state and county looked like in 1920s feels really cool to be able to see this!
Awesome work transforming the film
Good old roaring twenties, video is a time machine.
Always amazed how old black & white film is colourized, adjusted to a standard frame rate and with voices and sounds dubbed in. Excellent work. I salute you.
I feel sad when the ending says "that's all", I want to continue to watch, I can't look away!!. I also don't feel like much of a lady when watching this. I'm modest with my entire but these ladies bring class too a whole new level. It's sad to know most of these lovely people are gone now. I want to talk too each one of them, find out about who they are, I want to know more. 😉❤️
Cool! The best colorization on RUclips! Great job! 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
This looks like the winter in Florida. You can tell by the last woman's outfit for sure. People are not uncomfortable in clothes on the beach at this time of year, we do have some cooler days down her especially by the water. If this was June-August these people wouldn't be on the beach like that. And since these are wealthy folks you can safely assume they are wintering in Florida as there was no air conditioning back then so living down here all year round was not for the wealthy, only for the workers. People didn't actually start living in Florida year round until air conditioning became widely available.
No one was perspiring. Not a bead of sweat on anyone's forehead.
Winter in Fla is beautiful
They’re call snow birds
In March 2018 we had a family holiday in Kissimee ( did the Disney thing) and it was a superb experience. On one day we went to a water park and it was slightly overcast, the temp had dropped by only 2 or 3 degrees...the staff were in tracksuits, jackets and beanie hats telling me how cold it had " gotten".
It was positively balmy compared to March in Lancashire , England where we are from...we had the whole place more or less to ourselves. No queues, no " come back in ten minutes" or anything like that.
Tje next day we went to the parks themselves and it was cracking the flags ( very warm) again.
Amazing that wherever you come from gives you a totally different concept of weather.
Superb video, brings these long dead folk to life again.
Good luck from England
@@bluetickfreddy101 Now they are called Snow Birds back then they were simply just called rich 😀
And yes it is beautiful down here in the winter. And the snowbirds are coming down earlier and earlier now a days. It's only October and Naples is full of them already.
It says this was in January, we do have cooler weather then, usually. Then again, one year it was 98 on my birthday. In February, lol!
absolutely brilliant - these dear human beings really brought back to life through the refinement of the image and the colour - I am amazed...
Outstanding...
the women carried themselves with grace
