A brief glimpse back in time to a train station in the small town of Sölvesborg in 1908. HD colorized using manual and neural network techniques, and upscaled to 4K at 120 fps.
A clear glimpse of Edwardian era fashion. Women wearing large floral decorated hats. Walking skirts to the ankle and looser corsets. The men as usual wore moustaches.
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.
