HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 ноя 2023
- A group of young skaters on a frozen lake in Montreal. Filmed between 1899 and 1902 at Parc La Fontaine. Brought to life with deep learning neural networks. AI enhanced and colorized w/added sound.
Witness a captivating scene as Edwardian era children and adults glide across the ice, past a stationary camera. In an era where motion picture cameras were a novelty, the subjects were likely unaware of being immortalized on film.
Thanks to cutting-edge film colorization and upscaling technology, we've breathed new life into this silent, damaged footage. Through the lens of AI, we're granted a unique glimpse into the past, experiencing it as if we were right there.

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.

The colored version with sound felt so familiar, relatable and not far away.
When it faded back to the original filmstrip they felt so distant with an ache of melancholy that they're all gone.
that'll be all of us one day
Nope. They are alive like they never were in this life. I know this. I died and came back. This, as they say, "Is just the beginning." Praise God! - And thank you for this joyous crew of dear, boyish sweetness.
There's a video where they show black and white photos from world war II in Europe. Seems such ancient history. Then they show the exact same spot as it is today, barely changed at all. Makes you realize 80 years is just a snapshot in time. The same comparisons could be done all the way back to the Mexican-American war
@@victoriajarvis2260 are u being serious? or more metaphorical?
Wow - nobody among them knew, that they were actually greeting to the viewers from 120 years later, that's us!
People from 120+ years ago reaching through time to say hello to us-beautiful!
Amazing! Reminds me to enjoy life while I still can. My Dad used to say, "You only have one chance to do anything. If you try to go back, it's never the same." He was right.
A very wise father. You were lucky.
The smiles that last over time...
Before either of the world wars and all the changes technology would bring. Such simple happiness
All so happy and simply enjoying life. No cell phones or internet. Not self - centered but curious. Beautiful
You may be looking through a lens of nostalgic distortion here. They had many of the same problems we have and many others we don't have.
@@Tittlemouse69 "They had many of the same problems we have and many others we don't have."
And we have many that they didn't have, which is what the other commenter pointed out.
You've injected such wonderful colour in this with the flesh tones, the sky, the tartan cape and hat, amazing. Thanks for upload, a joy to watch.
Aw, such a charming moment. And look how happy they all were!
Long ago yet not so long ago. My grandmother was four years old at this time and she lived into the 1980s and my grandfather who was six at this time lived into the 1990s.
Beautiful. I brings them truly back to life. Just wonder what lives they lived and what their names were. Thanks. Loved it.
The days when kids could just be kids. Innocent, beautiful days.
Kids had to work back then. Like actually leave school to help support their families. What are you talking about?
wow. i love all of these old, restored videos u post. thank u!
This is a great video! Everyone is dressed so classy and having such a good time, and the video restoration is awesome.👏👏♥️♥️
Is it just me or did anyone else think right from the start that everyone in that film is dead.
They are. Most have been dead for a very long time.
Es una obviedad. El último de todos esos debe haber muerto hace 30 o 40 años como mínimo. EL ÚLTIMO !
It would be interesting to see interviews with those same people today.
Beautiful job as always
Parc Lafontaine, le parc de mon enfance.....
Great video. At the same time, more than 66,000 Canadians died in WWI, and over 172,000 were wounded. One wonders how many of these boys here at the age of innocence ended up on the battle field considering that they would have been of age in 1914.
1902年？！信じられません🤩こんな貴重な映像ありがとうございます！そして美しいBGMもありがとう。当たり前だけどカラー化すると今の人たちと変わらない事が何だか不思議過ぎる・・。
Amazing, well done to those lovely people. All seem good scaters. I would have fallen on my back side.😅
Un trabajo impresionante que maravillas hace la ia
120 years ago. It was simply their turns to live. We all get our turn.
The color really brought out the details,such a happy bunch
Amazing, brings the distant past to life
I would say this is the recent past rather than the distant past.
What a joy to watch this joy
Жизнь скоротечна, пролетает как миг.
Truly amazing work. ❤❤❤❤
These people had no idea someone 125 years later would be looking at them .
As close as we'll get to time traveling. Amazing. 👏
120 years from now people will be looking at us with their own thoughts. It will start with a Wow
well done, well done indeed.
I love watching your videos!
Каким им было легко двигаться, Вы замечаете? Никто не смотрит под ноги, они не боятся упасть, хотя такая толкотня, и никто не падает, не качается, все двигаются плавно и уверенно. Была другая гравитация.
Глупый вывод
@@lizafomin2696 сделайте умный вывод, а мы почитаем и порадуемся.
So real but so old! Loved it
so cool when you show the original and new
Absolutely amazing. 👍💕
Amazing! My grandmother was 6 years old at the time.
Great video!
This was filmed when Dr. Denmark was 4 years old. She died at the age of 114 in 2012. She was a famous Pediatrician during the 70s. Does anyone find it sad that all the humans that we knew born before 1903 are long gone?
So was the film digitally cleaned up of scratches and dirt when it was colorized, or were
scratches and dirt digitally added to the black and white part to emphasize the contrast?
It's surreal to see all the faces and wonder how their life stories unfolded until it was time to leave this world for the afterlife.
Would love to watch the process of doing this remastered
My father was born when this was filmed.
so this is where all the kids go without internet, smart phones and tv.
Imagine AI making a video like this look like it was recorded with a 2023 camera.
Thx Danke schöne Arbeit und wichtiges zeit Zeugnis ❤
Thank you.
I didn’t even know a single pair of ice skates even existed in 1902
My great grandparents came to live in Montreal maybe they’re in this film. My grandpa was born in 1903
Mischief makers! The whole lot of them! Jk such a sweet video. Thanks!!❤
💖💖💖💖
Very Happy days ❤❤❤❤
Imagine going back in time and showing these people the same film but on a small glowing rectangle
wow - over 100 years ago.
I knew several people born in 1890s..Past Era..
What were they like?
Parc Lafontine in Montreal
❤❤❤
Some of these kids got to watch the moon landing. :)
Father said when he was young back then they would stomp on Can and use that for ice scates
Wow
Imagine they were all gone that’s felt so weird
Hats were a big business back then 🎩
👍
People between 1900-1909 are saing hello to the people in the 2020s 😸
how many of them would have gone to war 12 years later...
I wonder what all those people are doing now. Someone should show them this video. They would really be surprised to see themselves.
Meu avô tinha 5 anos .
Gostaria de saber se o som destas filmagens é real, se foi mesmo gravado na época ou é apenas algo acrescentado depois.
I wonder who lived the longest, and did any acheive fame & fortune?
De qué país es éste vídeo??
¿No sabes dónde está Montreal?
@@Widdershins. Canadá, muchas gracias.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
if it was today, the kids would crash into each other because they would be looking at their phones, then, they would sue the videographer for distracting them while skating, and the they would sue the city for making the ice too cold and hard, ending in a riot, where they stole everything and blamed their teachers
Not even the kids of these kids are still living.
ah...people in this video...yes they seem happy but they are not alive now. we also will be like them someday
Hello from 2024
a world with no sugar, a world with no fat people.
that's why its important to turn to jesus life is short but u need jesus for eternity
It's not "AI enhanced". It's simply colorized by hand. I hate misleading video titles and descriptions.
The world before contraception and abortion was a world filled with children. Wonderful place.
Good thing we don't have people like you to run this world. Im glad you're mad that you can't control women
Would be nice to put where this actually is. That difficult?
