Time travel back 125 years to a hot summer day in Paris where crowds disperse after the races, at the Hippodrome de Longchamp, Bois de Boulogne. Restored to life, colour and sound at 4k 60fps.
This picture shows thousands of people leaving their seats in the grand stand and going across the parade grounds toward Paris. Opened in 1857, the Hippodrome de Longchamp is a horse racing track. It is located on the Route des Tribunes at the Bois de Boulogne in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, France.
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.
The colorization process used Deep exemplar-based Video colorization.
