- Outtakes from Charlie Chaplin's first movie, entertaining an unsuspecting public crowd on January 10th 1914, Venice, LA. It was to be his only public appearance as the little tramp.
This is my second attempt to enhance these film fragments. Enhanced, colorized and upscaled to 4k resolution and 60 fps using AI deep learning machines. An ambient soundtrack was created for an immersive time travel experience.

The Story behind Charlie Chaplin's film debut
In the late Fall of 1913, following the sudden departure of Keystone Studios comic star Ford Sterling, Mack Sennett sent for Charles Chaplin, a 24 year old English comedian whom he'd seen on stage in New York ( along with a young Stan Laurel) with the Fred Karno troupe.
The story goes that the Venice Daily cup race - a kids push-car event was being held on January 10th 1914 at Main & Westminster Streets, where the Venice Dog Park now stands.
Mack Sennett told director Henry "Pathé" Lehrman, to take Chaplin and shoot some improvised high jinks using the races as a backdrop.
Lehrman himself, is seen with another cameraman Frank Williams pretending to be a news crew filming the race from the sidelines on Westminster Avenue.
The still then completely unknown Chaplin ambles on to the scene wearing that soon to be famous 'little Tramp' costume. Bowler hat, bamboo cane, baggy pants, and small moustache. He proceeds to make a nuisance of himself.
The onlookers, both amused and bemused, were unsuspecting extras in motion picture history.
The film has no plot to speak of and no character. Just a film director being harassed by an annoying camera hog. The soft hearted little tramp character had yet to evolve. In fact he's quite hilariously rude.
The title of the 6 minute reel finally released was ‘Kid Auto Races at Venice’.
It was an inauspicious beginning to a movie icons career on screen, but this little film is real movie history.
Chaplin would never appear in public again dressed as the little tramp, but many others would.

Outtakes from Charlie Chaplin's first movie as the little tramp, entertaining an unsuspecting crowd at a go-cart event being held on January 10th 1914 at Venice, LA. It was to be his only public appearance. This is my second attempt to restore these film fragments.
What happened to your last video? You took it down?
this was beautiful, you'll only get better from here :)
it's not outtakes, it's the actual film 'Kid Auto Races', and it's not his only public appearance either. And it's not his first film for Keystone either!! It's his 3rd(but 2nd to be released)
But yeah, this is probably the first time the public saw the Tramp character as this was only the 2nd time he had worn the famous costume, for a film, the first time being in 'Mabel's Strange Predicament' which was filmed before this but released after.
Louisiana?
Quite amazing, makes it virtually 1913 still in most people's minds and just a little over a year after Titanic sank...
Footage like this needs to be preserved for all time. It's a moving History book. Priceless.
So true. ❤
0:33 kid looks like he just time traveled from a 90s mall
I WAS ABOUT TO WRITE THE SAME THING YOU DID 😅
That is rather strange. A knitted oversized sweater in those times? All attire then was tailored
@@raraszekmight be for a certain sport, the hairstyle is just a coincidence
My grandfather arrived in New York City in 1911, and left in 1922. During that time period he worked first as a bus boy and then as a waiter and head waiter. This was at a very high end restaurant that was said to have been frequented by Charlie Chaplin. It is said he was my grandfather's customer.
You sure that story is totally true. Some actress named Judy Holiday was said to have an immigrant grandfather who was the Czar's personal tailor back in Russia. Family rumours!
@@SyYoung-ni1wl There's no way to confirm it, other than to find out if he actually frequented said hotel and restaurant. My grandfather died 30 years ago. But my Dad always told us about him and Charlie Chaplin.
The technique of adding sound effects and lip reading to recreate what is being said is SO EFFECTIVE, and as had been said below, a time machine. Peter Jackson needs recognition for fully embracing this in THEY SHALL NOT GROW OLD, his World War 1 retrospect.
I love that sign "bargains on real estate" they were selling land and/or buildings in Los Angeles at steep discounts.
Even if the crowd didn't know who he was,he had a number of them laughing. Every Genius has to start some were. Bless Sir Charles Chaplin and his funny Charachter.🇬🇧🇺🇸
It’s crazy watching a 109 year old film live as if it’s happening right now.
It’s funny how at that moment in time, he wasn’t THE Charlie Chaplin yet; but hustling to become him.
This was an impromptu skit he was having fun with. They were in on it.
And more than 100 years later we have the same problem with peoples who disturb filmcrews
Are these outtakes?
Such an amazing time capsule❤
It's amazing how well his humour has held up over time. It was over 100 years ago and I feel like this same premise would do brilliantly in a sketch or movie today. Same with much of Buster Keaton's work.
Agreed it's kind of amazing. Physical humor has a timeless quality.
So true.
Its the same with laurel and hardy, the humor is timeless and a big inspiration
My grandpa (1904-1985) would watch Charlie Chaplin films in the theatre in Dundee, Scotland, and then in the USA after he immigrated. Charlie was his favorite actor ever. This was wonderful, thanks for sharing.
I live just north of Dundee. It’d be interesting to know which cinema your grandfather frequented before he emigrated. At its peak in the 1930s Dundee had 25 cinemas, giving it the greatest number per capita in Britain. Now I think there are only 2 full time and 1 part time (art house) cinema.
My grandpa (1904 - 1984) he imitated Charlie Chaplin and entertained me as a little girl 😊
I used to watch Charlie Chaplin movies in my childhood in Sweden in the 1970s. They were still very popular here back then.
This is amazing! So cool that this footage exists. Thanks for all your hard work on these awesome insights into history
This is beautiful. As much as I love silent black and white films, I wanted this colorized, restored, sound enhanced version to go on forever. You’ve turned it into a fascinating time capsule. The viewers become the silent as they watch in stunned appreciation of what you’ve created.
What I find amazing about these videos is how well dressed men, women and children were. And how much innocence and wonderment comes across.
I wonder who is really looking at who and if they are viewing us 100 years later, I wonder what they would say ..
I bet they would be in shock of what society has become
@@am_2395 I agree
. . and if they * *_were_* viewing . .
They would close their eyes, click their heals and hurriedly repeat, "There's no place like home"
And they probably only had 2-3 sets of clothes. These days people have hundreds and most of them are trash
One of the only positive uses for AI. Well done! :)
This one almost feels like something from a dream. Like a memory from a past life and its distorted and hard to remember but specific moments have unique clarity.
I love charlie Chaplin its wonderful to see him in colour Thank you!! 💖💖💖
Brilliant, he was to live for 63 years after this and brought so much joy. It's fair to say your work isn't getting the recognition it deserves.
0:24 I've been a Charlie Chaplin fan all my life and I swear I feel like this is the first time I've truly SEEN him.... I love this channel, thank you
Giving that century old street scene new life is amazing and somewhat haunting, thanks for sharing it!!
🇺🇸🇬🇧=💪🤍☝️
✌️from Los Angeles USA
Oh my gosh what a find & you so diligently & lovingly bring them back to life ❤
First time i felt that i saw charlie chaplin . Color speed and resolution, more than i imagined. Thank you
Absolutely fantastic. It really transports you back and feel the atmosphere ofvthise times. Modern tech that I really appreciate.
Just watching all these videos, I can smell the old yearbook smell. Crazy
Mesmerising, I watched it over and over, like a Time Machine.
Amazing when you realize these guys were just like us. Check out the two young boys in white shirts at 0.30-0.40. Just like my own sons and their friends.
good job on the restoration. and thanks for the background in the description box as well.
0:35 that blonde kid looks like he is a time traveler lol
It's very interesting but while the 60fps upscaled footage looks technically impressive - the moment you revert to the original untouched footage is when it becomes funny! I think I know why. Silent films (particularly comedies) were never meant to be run at a fully natural speed - there was almost always a few frames per second difference between the shooting rate and the projection rate, which accelerated the action from anywhere from 10-25% (sometimes in early Sennett shorts it was too fast - to the point you miss all sorts of business if the film is run at 25fps) But in the best examples the speed difference is more subliminal - but gives an extra "snap" and energy to the movements of the comics. The problem with the 60fps upscaling is it totally blunts the effect the slow frame rate has on the movements - it would work fine for a drama or newsreel - where you want absolute naturalism, but not so well her. Just my opinion.
I absolutely LOVE this! A resurrected time capsule!
Wow! This footage is precious. I'm seeing the behind-the-scenes of Chaplin's filming for the first time.
Wonderful! Thank you for your efforts! ❤
The film is ‘Kid Auto Races At Venice’.
Amazing footage!
110 years ago. Let that sink in
Incredible, thank you for the time travel! ✨🙏✨
I love this!❤
Hello how are you doing?
It's like how youtubers go out to an event to prank people. Either Chaplins ahead of his time or some things never change.
Brilliant.. cheers from Vancouver
This was very cool to see👍🏼
Fantastic!!!
Incredible!
Thanks, Koogle !
Oh man, that transition to the black and white film footage was clean
Venice sure has changed. 😂
Venice, California not the one in Italy.
This is great! Well done. Sadly, just like I experience on my channel, such work attracts a number of 'sour pusses' who don't understand nor appreciate what you have done. Fortunately they are in the minority.
A lot of Charlie Chaplin's films by now would have fallen under the public domain. Go nuts with those films, would be a great way to introduce he works to a new generation.
He was so good !
Charlie Chaplin the old youtuber all time in Venice beach soap cars
The people recognise a star, even before they are famous.
Nice work!
Not a big Charlie Chaplin fan but this is pretty damn cool
I always think that all of the people we see are no longer alive. A lot of lives gone.
Well yeah, this was 110 years ago. All long dead years ago.
very nice! Interesting to watch. I have liked Charlie Chaplin.
Beautiful ❤
wait so chaplin was the first Troll on film haha. its cool to see him out workin on new material.
wonderful..
Charlie chaplin comedy video 110 years 🎩🎩🎩🎩📽️📽️📽️📽️📽️📽️😹😹😹😹😹😹😹🤣🤣😂😂
Cool colorization.
2 years after the sinking of Titantic and 2 years before the sinking of Britannic
One year before the bombing of the morning st important ship ever-- the Lusitania.
Anybody notice at 0:35 the boy with the yellow dress time traveler??
Thought the same🤭
@@lilalila213Fiat the car brand ?
@@CadStryeah!
No but I did notice a boy in an over sized yellow coat that would have been something worn at a college back in that time period.😂
@@myidentityisinjesus8880 yeah with FIat letters
0:32 that kid with that sweater looks way ahead of its age
I love this how you have restored it with colours…. Thankyou, Btw was the sounds added or is that actually Charlie’s voice?
I would assume it's an impersonator, but he does have a distinct British voice that has been effectively mimicked.
Sound film didn’t exist in 1914. All sound has been added.
Genius
LOL - imagine Chaplin in the movie town of Chillingbourne. 🎥🎥🎥
💎
Wow......
It's pretty amazing what it can do. That said, I'll take the natural frame rate any day. The interpolation that makes his hands and arms disappear during motion takes me out of it.
God incredible. Imagine the job you could do on some movies like freaks and older mgm ones.
❤
I'm really, really struggling to understand how this was so popular.
Chaplin is regarded as the funniest performer of the silent film era but he was diabolically overrated. Stan Laurel is the true genius of comedy
Everything was simpler back then. In my childhood almost 50 years ago there were jokes that today would only seem tasteless or cringe. And this was more than 50 years before *that.*
@@zombiefulci3301I agree with your assessment of Stan Laurel. The barrier Laurel faced was a crowded field, and a field dominated by Chaplin's supreme mastery of the physical performance. There really is no one to match Chaplin's pantomimic investment in his films. (Keaton excelled at the acrobatic and cinematography level). Finding a suitable character for Laurel failed, and he worked behind the camera for several years, before emerging with Hardy. Then, the genius erupted again, with a suitable context in-hand. I have read, that Laurel considered Chaplin "just the greatest", but I am convinced, as you are, that he was not the funniest. (We are talking about the top players in the field, now). For the deadly sight gags in Two tars, Big Business, County Hospital, Hog Wild, Beau Hunks, Chickens come home, Pack Up Your troubles, etc,. etc. it would be wise to have 911 on speed-dial. Not so for anything done by Chaplin, Keaton, Lloyd or Langdon. Kids Auto Races at Venice (above) makes me laugh out loud every time. Laurel and Hardy brings me to my knees with spasms. Cheers!
This was the very first film that Chaplin appears in as The Tramp so it’s basically a prototype that hasn’t been finessed yet. As he later developed the character, he mixed physical comedy with pathos which is what made him stand out from the crowd.
@@zombiefulci3301I adore Stan, but they really had two different styles. Charlie incorporated more pathos into his comedy. Apples and oranges.
That's really cool, but the AI takes away from the genuine essence and what the people are truly conveying...
Holy moly😨he smoked a lot
It's strange to think that every single person in this video is now dead.
The funny thing is, a century later, youtubers went back to doing the same stuff
Turner classic movies didn't colorize anything, there's a very good reason.
wow
That "director" was rough with poor Charlie.
My paternal grandpa was born in 1915..he wasn't even born yet.💦
I wonder what happened to the original negative of this film.
❤😊
Not me making myself sad cause those dogs are dead
A.I. in.
Magic out.
This is scary
I thought Chaplin was innocent. Here he looks boisterous, half thug half gentleman
Seeing all those young boys wearing ties was weird.
He pushed Charlie 😢
Kid Auto Races at Venice
The only good and amazing thing A.I. has done Wow
Wow, what a difference !!! He seems almost 3-dimensional. After that short he trimmed the mustache to make it smaller in order to make better use of his facial elasticity and changed that mean look for a softer one to display a "I don't care" kind of expression.
Palette fm is the best colouriser
No. Palette FM is over-the-top and very unnatural most of the time. The best colorizer is on MyHeritage and based on DeOldify.
my dad said when he was younger back in Ethiopia, he watched charlie Chaplin as a kid during the 1960s 😭
I watched Charlie Chaplin as a kid in Addis Ababa in 1964!
@@mscommerce haha no way! thats so cool! my dad was born in 1959 in addis ababa!
He looks taller than some of the others at 5ft 4ins.

The previous version of this video had better transitions. Bring back the old version
This is a real movie named "Kid's auto race" not a sort of candid camera with Chapln.
I don't think this is Charlie Chaplin but someone who looks alike.
Possible. I read in a Guinness book of movie world records how a Japanese guy in Japan pretended to be Chaplin in Japanese silent films.
I don't know about you. but it was better with no sound , More authentic I like ai
I like that they color it but there are some things you don't mess with .
We cant let ai assume things
I can tell you that the colours were manually chosen, because this colorizer is based on hand colorized reference frames.
