- I colorized, restored and created a sound design for this video of of New York 1945
a time travel in beautiful New York 1945, we can clearly see what is happening in broad daylight, The right turn at 0:41 is onto 8th Avenue, traveling south. The turn appears to be around 50th Street. The Squire Theater, first visible in the distance on the right at about 1:20, was between 43rd and 44th. The Times Theater, visible at about 2:30, was showing The Princess And The Pirate, with Bob Hope and Virginia Mayo, which was released in November 1944. The Arena Theater, on the next block at 2:45, was on 41st Street. The film ends at 31st Street. (Thx Bobo4037)

Feels like I time traveled for a brief minute. Great work! Crazy to see how many people just went out infront of cars or stood in the middle of the street lol
Thats new york today lol
You don't visit Manhattan much do you? It's like that everyday here. Lol
I just did it about 15 minutes ago
AAYYY! I'M WALKIN HERE!
The street used to be the domain of people, and horse carriages. The automobile industry took it over. sad!
What’s craziest to me is the lack of traffic lights, or even lines in the road, every intersection was just a complete free for all, people just walked across whenever they felt like it, and the cars somehow managed to stay orderly for the most part.
This! ☝️
This is still the case in many developing countries in the world. People cross the street whenever they feel like it, there is no road markings, and intersections are still a complete free for all.
for realll
It's the same in London at that time too, and loads of other cities in the world, because of how slow vehicles were.

This is literally the closest thing we can experience to time travel...it's the closest thing we can get to experience that time in history..it's a real look into daily life , there's no other way for us to experience that other than traveling back in time ,which the great professor Brian Cox said is impossible, but time traveling forward in time is technically possible.

My great grandpa passed last year at 94 years old. He was born in 1926. Crazy to think he would have been 19 years old when this footage was taken. I imagine how surreal it must have felt to watch the world change as much as it did during his life and always wonder if my generation will experience the same thing in the coming decades.
i'm sorry that he had gone already, but i'm sure it was an amazing experience - living in different times throughout the entire "life on earth" experience
It must be crazy to realize that years after...
Idk how old u are but ur generation should...I was born 91 and 90s babies and older seen the rise of technology and the digital era from the 90s to the 00s, 9/11, "first black president", covid, the breach of the capital, a couple of wars, the golden era to the fall of hip hop, gay & trans go from bein the jokes on tv to canceling movement, etc
I’m just gonna say you cute and sorry to here about ya grandpa🥺❤️
As some born in 91, I've seen some change buuuuut I think until something new comes out, nothing will majorly change like analog to digital technology for example. The most we'll see is aesthetics and smaller tech. Unless we go apocalypse mode, and everyone will be wearing bits of tires and metal spikes in 20 years. So either way, we're going to do a Star Trek.
I think, if anything, perhaps a gradual change over time may not seem as impactful or like an “overnight” change. I’m 28 years old and in my lifetime we’ve gone from dialup internet that took minutes to load a single webpage with just text to having a supercomputer beyond my wildest childhood imagination in the space of 20 years. It’s not really something you think about though. And it doesn’t feel surreal to me now.

Edit for all the race baiters who keep tagging me: I DONT CARE.
And that smooth pavement! Nothing like Manhattan streets today.
some comfort can be found that people even then were standing in the middle of roads waiting for traffic to stop for them.
After looking at the footage from 1911, it’s crazy to think in just the span of just over 20 years how much the city has changed. The streets are more bustling, and the roads are now filled with cars instead of carriages.

I agree,i think the bad quality of video footage from the past makes our brians assume it looked wprse than it was
@Awawawa CM yeah quite possibly,i just never expected anything to be nice at all back then,I think I am conditioned to just see the past as poor and undeveloped because thats how we think of the past in ireland.
Go outside of new york I guarantee you much of the country and the world were far less developed and modernized
who?
This shows us how humanity arrange everything.
When the footage looks so natural you get a true sense of what it would be like to be there in that era. Fascinating!

I hope there is going to emerge ever more of such material. You then can extensively dive into an era, if you're occupying yourself with it.
Truly does..What a trip life is.
Yeah, especially if you get to watch this on a big tv. I finally was able to get a 65 inch 4K tv and these clips are blowing my mind, it’s so immersive it’s like the closest thing we have to a time machine. It made me think that maybe it might be a good idea for a little break from todays world to sometimes take a full day of just watching and living in these past times, immerse yourself for a longer period and just sorta live there for a while. Make some coffee and pretend your drinking it back in the 40s or 30s, heck there was a great clip from the 1890s Paris that had been further improved and is now also more immersive. I feel so calm watching these, such a nice escape
Honestly this footage is rather dull. Any video from the modern age is going to look pretty similar to today

this sound is horrible tho, nothing matches. I think person who made this, should put more effort into making the sounds. like adding proper car engine sounds and people talking on background, but instead he just took some random "city sounds" and put those on background.

The surreal thing to me is looking at immersive footage like this, and thinking about all the things (great and small) that haven’t happened yet. There’s an innocent quality, but also a calm before the storm quality, to it.
ironically these folks are far less naive than people living in america today. they've almost all likely either faced a draft, lost boys to war, or have close friends who have, and they likely have an inkling of what "total war" means--ie, when you face a threat such that you shift your normal means of production to making weaponry, for example the car factories in Detroit are now making army aircraft, the metalsmiths are all making bullets, and everyone is recycling their shaving cream tubes so the military can harvest the tin.
You overused quality

What amazes me is how few traffic lights there are, and if you compare this footage from footage recorded 30 years earlier it has a great deal more in common with that than footage shot in the 70s. Still very much-so organized chaos. Such a cool video!
None of these people knew as they passed this camera that for many, the few seconds they spent in frame might be their longest lasting legacy..

it’s amazing how much prettier things were before neon signs and ads in every window. this honestly looks like a much more inviting place just because of the simplicity

True. This was when capitalism was still an objective benefit to society and hadn't turned people into materialist, consumerist droids whose main understanding of reality is based on the advertisements fed to them by big business.
This looks the same as now... Cars everywhere, people everywhere... I'm surprised at that

This is amazing! Thank you for sharing. It's like a time machine. Feels like a window to the past.
Still can't believe that New York has always had bad traffic 😄
Yes but this traffic is more stable and less chaotic.
If you think it's bad, then I can't imagine your reaction seeing the actual bad traffic.
The drivers did a good job. Notice how there is no traffic lights or traffic cops giving directions.
If it wasn’t cars, it was horses
@@CosmicLogic-ts5vr and notice how incredibly slow they're going. It's almost like they acknowledge the city is huge with tons of people roaming the streets...
It's impressive how slower and relaxing most of the people are walking in the video instead of nowadays.

Me too, I am 55yo and this kind of footage is wonderful as it helps me to comprehend what life was like then.
I am in Ireland, three of my aunts would have been in New York for 30yrs & 24yrs by that time, and many emigrated in 1940's and 50's from my area. I often try to think just how much in awe they must have been with that great city and country, having come from poverty and a bleak land.

This is just classy, every second of vid. Clean streets, little to no ads, less noise and light pollution, properly dressed ladies and gentlemen. Also vintage store signs look great on buildings. I may sound like one of these “grass was greener” but screw it, vid shows it all. And whole street looks neat, nothing out of place, nothing screams at you and distract, but there is a beauty in such modesty. Amazing quality and operator work, also great job on restoring it to color. Always a pleasure watching your videos, keep it up!
Listen to old recordings and people also spoke more clearly. Presidential speeches are night and day compared to our times. The common everyman off the street too was also lightyears more articulate than we are despite drastically less formal education back then. Look into bibliographic records and the vocabulary of our books is becoming less complex. We are barbarians living in the ashes of a superior civilization.
"""Diversity is a strength"""
I ain't a supremacist, but to achieve this again society will have to be homogeneous. (Religion,Race,Culture) There is simply too much of a difference between white & brown, the best solution is to exchange population. Trying to "fix" or change the differences will require one side to destroy themselves.
@@MapleMan1984 WIthout humans, there would be no buildings, law, technology, etc. People create their own environments. People also differ from each other, and they create different environments, and when migrants are brought in, the migrants create their own environments too, and the natives are eventually rendered homeless.

Jimmy Carter was 21 years old at the time and he's still alive in 2021.

This and your other videos are excellent! Thank you for posting! Even though the audio was subsequently added, I believe it is nonetheless consistent with what a street scene would have sounded like --- at least to my ear. I have a question about the colorization: how were specific colors chosen for given items, in particular, the cars and other vehicles?
This fills me with a strange sensation, imagine how many things have changed since then.
Would be interesting to drive down the same street today and record it and have a split screen comparison video. The flat glass on the windshields really causes some sun glare.
They did hat with some of Chicago. It's pretty cool being from here
This is 8th Ave, which today is one-way in the opposite direction. Can’t replicate this from a vehicle, but could approximate it from either sidewalk.
So much to unpack here. At 1:14 you can see a sign for Horn and Hardart’s Automat. I have fond memories of the Automat. I ate there as a child in the 1960s with my family. The food was delicious. I also remember Nedicks, they sold hot dogs and orange juice for a quick bite to eat. I think they just had a counter, no seating. Another Automat at 4:11. At 4:12 the original Penn Station which sadly was demolished in 1963 to build Madison Square Garden, comes into view on the left. The Farley Post Office building is on the right. It was the main NYC post office. The building still stands and part of it has been converted to the recently opened Penn Station head house which opened in January 2021 as the Moynihan Train Hall.
how old are you ?
Is there anything that's still there today?
