Time travel back 120 years to a sunny day on the Atlantic city boardwalk New Jersey. Early silent films restored to 4K 60fps with added sound and manual deep algorithmic frame colorization.
In this film women are strolling along the boardwalk at Atlantic city wearing long trumpet skirts and feminine shirtwaist blouses and jackets. These were held in shape by corsets. Women are holding on to their large picture hats to keep them from being blown away by the seaside wind. Other women are in stroller chairs.
The fashionable woman’s hairstyle of the early 1900s was the ‘pompadour.’ Women’s styles in the 1900s was also on the cusp of a revolution. Within 20 years the corsets would be fading memory. American women of this period are now fondly remembered by the term “Gibson Girl.”
The TV series Boardwalk Empire was set along the shorefront of Atlantic city in the 1920s.

How silent footage is colorized and brought to Life
I take early fragments of silent footage ( in this case at 15fps ) and restore them to life by a combination of manual frame by frame colorization as well as the use of deep exemplar-based video colorization techniques. The footage is upscaled to 4K resolution and the frames interpolated to a higher frame rate ( 60 frames per second.) Finally I produce a soundtrack which helps build a new immersive experience for the viewer.
Together, these processes revive old fragments of silent footage, offering audiences a more
vivid and engaging glimpse of past lives long since lived.
All original silent BW archive footage preserved by Library of Congress and is determined by the Library to be in the public domain.
