- A peaceful drive through the San Fernando Valley in California in the 1940's. And a trip to the beach during the same time. See and feel the sights and sounds of that time period. Color and sound ended.
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.

Still my favorite state in the United States. California must have been magical in the 1940's and 1950's. The good old days! 😀😀😀
I moved to California as a child in 1954, living in the San Fernando Valley. At that time, 1954, the population of the State was less than 13 Million. Presently, 2022, it was 39 million. That means it tripled in less than 70 years. It was a nice place in the 1950-1960 era but changed dramicially in the 1970's and I left for greener pastures.
Wow great footage, cleaned up fantasticly
Thanks. And thanks for watching
Kind of wondering if the first minute and a half or so was taken on Sherman Way, because of all the palm trees. And of course, the last part of the video taken at the beach is NOT in the SFV!
Pictures is too sharp and contrast is a bit high.

colorization is comically bad
