This is Bataille de boules de neige (Snowball Fight) by Louis Lumière, a short silent film shot in Lyon, France in 1896 that’s been upscaled and colorized using DeOldify, an open-source AI tool that does just that. The result is impressive. Also, I really liked the plot: everybody nail the
This is some behind-the-scenes footage from the making of John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, showing the composition of various stunts and special effects in the film, including the three-story fall at the end of the movie. Man, technology is nuts. I actually watched all three John Wick movies with

This is a video from a testing event in China of a Tesla Model 3 absolutely wrecking a pedestrian dummy during an automatic emergency braking test. Oh it braked alright — breaked all the bones in his body! Man, I remember the first time I got hit by a car.

This is a side-by-side comparison created by Youtuber MajorTom1990 of an Airbus A320 landing at the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) in real life vs in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. In case you couldn’t tell, the flight simulator footage is on the left, and the real footage on the right.
This is a video of Youtuber LegoEddy discussing and exhibiting the Apollo 11 stop motion LEGO movie he made that was originally shot at 15 frames per second, which he then boosted to 60FPS using DAINAPP (Depth-Aware video frame INterpolation), a neural network that predicts new frames to increase the
