【AI Colorized】Eye to eye with people from 1929 China, puppet street show, nearly 100 years ago
How does it feel to watch each other from nearly 100 years ago?
This time I restored and colorized a footage from 1929 by using AI technology.
It’s a street outtake about a puppet show theatre in China back then.
With original sound and audio, it’s indeed very precious.
Here are the AI projects I used during the restoration process:
+RIFE
+DeOldify
+Deep Exemplar-based Video Colorization
+GFP-GAN
+Real-ESRGAN
+Topaz Video Enhance AI
Original footage source comes from Moving Image Research Collection (MIRC), The University of South Carolina.
