These are two videos of Paris circa the 1920’s that have been restored, stabilized, colorized, and remastered at 60FPS. The first predominately features famous buildings and monuments, and the second one more human activity. They were a trip to watch. To think that this was captured over 100 years ago.
This is an almost 100 year old clip from Los Angeles that’s been AI upscaled, enhanced, and colorized so it doesn’t look like it was filmed through a potato sack. I lived in LA for ten years, and I have to admit: I didn’t recognize any of it. Of course
This is the entirety of the 1988 Pee-Wee’s Playhouse Christmas Special lovingly remastered in 1080p high definition. Now I’d be lying if I said I remember it, but I probably did watch it. What can I say, 1988 was a long time ago, and my memory isn’t what it used
This is a colorized clip from France circa 1923 featuring some gentlemen participating in cycle-skating. Cycle-skates each had one giant wheel on the inside of the foot so you could roll around doing donuts to impress the ladies at the park. And you know how I feel about impressing the
Step into my time machine (sure, it looks like the same closet where we play 7 minutes in heaven) and take a trip back to 1971 and John Lennon hearing the recording of his ‘Imagine’ for the first time. He seems relatively pleased with the result. As he should be,
Hot on the heels of that 1920’s footage of the Big Easy comes this footage of the roaring 20’s in New York City. Now I know what you’re all thinking — The Great Gatsby! And yes, this was the era of Art Deco, jazz, and flappers. But look at that
In what is hands-down the most British things I’ve seen in a while, this is a 1974 clip from BBC Nationwide of Michael Barrat interviewing snail aficionado Christopher Hudson and his beer-loving giant African snail, Boozy. Honestly, I thought it was a Monty Python skit at first, and I’m still
This is some historical black and white footage from The Big Easy captured in the 1920’s that’s been upscaled to 60FPS, stabilized, remastered, and colorized, with some sound design added for good measure. The result isn’t fantastic, although I imagine the source material was pretty rough around the edges. I
