- Time travel back to Charleston , South Carolina in 1902 for a glimpse of the Worlds Fair. Silent footage brought to life and color n 4K 60fps. This temporary city, dubbed the Ivory City was built across 300 acres, and was a glamorous affair. The entire fake city was it up at night with the 'new' electricity.
Better remembered as the Charleston Exposition, the South Carolina West Indian Exposition was a multi-county fair and regional trade exposition held in Charleston, South Carolina from December 1, 1901 to June 20, 1902.
Behind the glamour, however was the unsavory continuation of slave labor. In this film we see the Cotton Palace. The construction of these buildings used African American prisoners or 'chain gangs' in forced labor.
The poetic justice of it all being that the organizers lost a fortune when the exhibition ended. The 675000 visitors reached only a third of the projected number.
Today all that remains is the bandstand in what is now called Hampton Park.
The AI Film Restoration Process:
I take early fragments of silent 16fps footage and restore them to life by a combination of manual frame by frame colorization as well as the use of deep exemplar-based video colorization techniques. The footage is upscaled and the frames interpolated to a higher frame rate ( in most cases 60 frames per second.) Finally I produce a soundtrack which helps build a new immersive experience for the viewer.
Together, these processes revive old fragments of footage, offering audiences a more
vivid and engaging glimpse of lives long since lived in the distant past.
The colorization process is manually done with the help of Deep exemplar-based Video colorization.

The style and even grace of these people is just so amazing to watch. I could replay it ten times just to see how beautiful and elegant everything was.
Yes exactly and sadly today's world lacks all of that, elegance and grace. This is a time when the U.S. was a very clean and respectable society with elegant people who respected each other and who actually cared about the way they dressed and the environment they lived in unlike most today.
The AI set Style and Grace to 10.
That clothing worn in 95 degree heat and 80% humidity with no air conditioning anywhere!! The mind boggles
And bathed very little
@@tierrashanice6299no they bathed pretty much everyday
Clothing was made with much lighter, breathable fabric than mass manufactured clothing today.
It also provided much needed sun protection pre sunscreen
There's a lot of things that people did back then that boggles the mind. I'd imagine you'd suddenly see them perspiring if a black slave happened to walk past.
Fascinating ✨Everyone is so observant & walking with great posture 🙌📵
The posture in general will be better but I think they look rather stiff and rigid. Much like their values and beliefs.
And no one is a fat walrus full of stupid beliefs.
Elegance and refinement are everywhere.
I have an oil lantern that was a wedding gift to my great grandparents from 1901 - just one year before this. I have a second one that was a wedding gift to my great great great grandparents from 1852. Both are filled with green lantern oil to match my green living room which over looks the beach.
Thank you SO MUCH for showing the south!!!
Very interesting thank you I loved it!! 💕💕💕💕💕💕
Wow - an interesting video with a fascinting backstory! These are so wonderful. Thanks for all your hard work!
Howdy🤠👋 @glamourdaze... Another Stunning 😇Job Well Done!!! Wish We Could Chose to Go Back in Time!!!
LOVE 🙏Your Work!!! Thank You, Made 💖💖💖My Day!!!
Does the building still exist? Great work. Thanks.
I’ve walked in this very spot and imagined what it was like then… lovely ❤
I was wondering if that building is still there. I should have read the description! 😂
Great stuff!
Thanks Glamour Daze. 😊
Even with the restoration, it is difficult to imagine them wearing those clothes. Especially on a hot day like that. And they had no washing machines or electric irons. Amazing to see. The hats, I imagine, are because they all could do nothing with their hair, men and women? I remember seeing 1900 House where the family went back in time, and it was shampoos and conditioners that they missed most. That their hair was lank and greasy and frizzy! Wonderful restoration ; )
It's amazing what that little bit of colour can do...makes all the difference in bringing the past to life...
And back then, people dealt with the weather and always seemingly care about their appearances ❤
If you ever find any footage from the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, that would be fascinating!
Wonderfull!!!
Its as if they float and not walk.
A beautiful, fun, and most importantly, a safe day going to the fair.
All those slim people, amazing!
1. The second gilded age
2. Edwardian era
3. The progressive era
I prefer the old B&W.
Think of how simple and old fashioned life was just over 100 years ago. How much has changed since then. But also in just 100 years compared to lets say 6000 years before this.
What an elegant lifestyle! But I guess they were members of privileged class, and they were a lot of deprived people behind them.
Incrível ...
To think that some animals extinct today were still alive when this was recorded. Like the Thylacine and the Passenger Pigeon. 😢
In description: "was [L]it up at night"
The women with their walking sticks is very interesting. They were not as long as current white sticks for those with vision issues, but they were still used the same way. They have a long white ribbon, folded in half, pinned to their chest. I wonder if these women were visiting on their own time, or with others, and if the ribbon was an identifier for a group, or had a different meaning.
Could be a Suffrage Ribbon
So futuristic compared to todays garbage, and we are supposed to be progressing ..
Yeah…. Everybody thinks our modern world is so advanced and awesome…. If only they knew it’s been getting worse and worse century after century. The whole time cheering on “ progress”.
I'm a Charleston S.C. native but I don't recognize where this is. Anyone know?
I don't think it's still there, it was for a Worlds Fair. ua-cam.com/video/1kRdRVRne3M/v-deo.html (I should have read the description, the info is all there.)
It is where Hampton Park is located now. The bandstand gazebo is the only thing left, and because the event was a massive financial failure, it was quickly dismantled and replaced with Hampton Park.

What the hells wrong with the legs
You're right! The legs don't move right. Sometimes the bodies will still be moving forward and the feet are in a stance position. The speed makes them look like a chicken's gait.
I believe that’s the AI influence.
all of them are now on the other side... all of them...
Many of them have long since reincarnated on earth and have new lives. Perhaps they have already been back here several times. Most of us come back again and again...
Uma coisa q observo quase não existiam pessoas obesas as pessoas se cuidavam mais 😢
Really odd effect to make their feet/legs move oddly when walking. MUCH more pronounced in the colorized version than the original.
How everyone wasn't completely soaking wet at all times from sweat prior to the late 1960's is beyond me...
Mike was such a DUD!!!!! DAVID was PERFECT for her!!!
This movie is not diverse enough.
No computers, no video games, no cell phones or smart phones, no social media, no artificial intelligence, no super fast cars or motorcycles, no high tech gadgets of any kind. And everybody was perfectly happy and content.
I doubt they were perfectly happy and content, that’s a pretty naive assumption, but I’m sure it helped people connect more
Fun fact: Motorcycles had been commercially available (though very rare) in America for four years at that point.
I don't know if anyone else noticed, but sagging or on a cellphone.🤭
