Demo: 1900s' New York, London, Paris, Moscow and more. Colorized 2022

This video is a demonstration of my new colorization method. While this new method can produce better results, it demands much more time and effort. To achieve this level of colorization, it requires not only multiple neural networks, but also a lot of work through the process of trial and error. The clips used in this demo are under Creative Commons licence or in the public domain. As opposed to the automatic colorization method such as deoldify , this new method requires a significant amount of human inputs. When compared to the original materials, the work is transformative, as it adds more value by improving the visuals, altering the sentiment and adding the commentary. #newyork #colorized #thewaywewere ===============Credits================ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ The following clips are retrieved from Wikimedia under Public Domain Licence (CC0): [New York 1911] by the Swedish company, Svenska Biografteatern - : Huge thanks to MoMA's for restoring this video from the nitrate print of the original film.
