New Orleans 1930's in COLOR w/sound added

New Orleans in the 1930's with sound added. This was a more difficult project due to the fact that the original film was very unsteady along with overall poorer film quality.
A variety of scenes around New Orleans during this time period. Including Canal Street, Jackson Square/French Quarter, French Market, Plantation and Antebellum Homes. Along with shots of people playing golf, tennis and the zoo.
Video/Film Restoration Efforts:
* Originally shot on Film
* Converted to video
* Converted to 60 frames per second
* Colorized using computer software
* Sound added for effect only
* Color correction stabilization performed
* Historical data added just for nostalgia
Software Used
I use a variety of editing software from Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere, Avid to Edius. It depends on the project.
Be aware that video restoration efforts are not always accurate. Colorization of video/film is complex. Artificial Intelligence Tools (AI) or computer software is only as good as the algorithms designed to understand the colors. Colorization is ambiguous since we are trying to go from grayscale to a 3-D signal created around mixtures of red, green and blue. So while it may not be perfectly and historically accurate, it has come a long way over the years. So try and enjoy the efforts to colorize the past as best as we can.

Beautiful how the city hasn't changed much

Because of my favorite character I begin searching for New Orleans 1930s. I want to visit the place someday.

[@Gorilder]

It’s stunning how relatively little has changed, change up the clothes and cars in a few places and you could say this was taken in 2023

Very true*!* It all looks the same*!* 🥳✨💫

In some ways, New Orleans has not changed that much.

[@neilthomas9244]

A great time, and place to live..if you were a particular hue.

[@Cycology_Major]

Your desire to add nothing but a weak whine to the narrative of Nola & its uniquely rich mix of peoples & cultures is useless. This era & this place was historically significant FOR once-rural black Louisianans, and all mixed peoples.

And look at it today with all the violent crime. White people have turned NO into a ridden ghetto.
