Time travel back to Westinghouse Electric factory in Pittsburgh 1904. A group of women restored to life and color w/sound in 4K 60fps. Though working class, these women are still emblematic of the ‘Gibson Girl’ aesthetic
The Gibson Girl, with her elegant shirtwaist blouses, sweeping long skirts and pompadour hair was the personification of the idealized new woman of the early 20th century. Film captured by the Biograph Company. The Gibson girl name was coined from the illustrations of Charles Dana Gibson.

How silent footage is colorized and brought to Life
I take early fragments of silent 16fps footage 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 and the frames interpolated to a higher frame rate ( in most cases 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 footage, offering audiences a more
vivid and engaging glimpse of lives long since lived in the distant past.
