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, colorization has come a long way over the years. So try and enjoy the efforts to colorize the past as best as we can at this time.
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.

Anyone remember when the Bronx looked like this? Really cool to see the cars of that time in New York.
Yes I do. I was there.
Ps 89
This is a cool video! I love it! I grew up in the Bronx, from 1967-1978. I was hoping to see my old school, P.S. 86...

@@jbluesb3southside cool! What years?
Born in The Bx 1964. Grandparents came from Italy 1932. My Mom was raised in The Bronx during this time. Beautiful to see what it was like. Thank You.
I remember when the Bronx looked like that,was born in 1939,We lived at 2416 Beaumont Ave. and 187th street, The Arthur Ave. section . The rent was 29 Dollars a month 2 bedrooms a living room and kitchen,and small bathroom.There were virtually no cars on the streets.we would play all day in the street when the weather was nice. It was even more deserted and quiet when the war was on because all the young men were in the army. It began to change after the war was over.left in 1961, Many fond memories.
Very cool 😀😀😀
I miss that timeperiod. It really was a great time in our country‘s history. I like seeing it in color. Nice job.
Living in New York back in the 1940s was awesome. So different than today. You could afford to live there believe it or not. But that is long gone.👍
Back then Also call white Bronx ?
It was perfectly affordable into the 70s. Out of college in 1966 I paid less than a quarter of my monthly take home pay for a 5 room tenement apartment in Yorkville.. My job paid modestly. I fixed teh place up so nicely that Princeton grad friend (rich parents, lived in the Dakota) took the apartment when I moved into big shared apartment on CPW with my own bathroom. It cost less than my old apartment.
Love this. My family emigrated to the Bronx from Italy in the 50’s and I spent a lot of my childhood there and I went to college there.
Yes it’s fun to look back.
Imagine if life was still this way. I would like that.
As a New Yorker who grew up there, so would I!
You must not be black because this is a wish of the privileged
I really believe this was when America was better. There were jobs, less crime, less congestion and affordability. America is not the same nor is New York. 🙏🙏🙏
Aa baby boomer I can vouch for that!
I really believe that you are wrong on pretty much every count. People lived shorter lives, the standard of living was lower. Homicide rate in 2018 was marginally lower than in 1960 and way lower than in 1990. The time to travel a given distance is much lower than it was.
Cool video! A huge thank you for sharing! Old Yankee stadium sure was massive.
The black car to 6he left of the first few seconds of the film is a 1942 Chrysler New Yorker.
This is beautiful work. well done!
Thanks
Born and raised ty for this intense memory
👍👍👍👍
Great footage. Goes great while I play my 1940's Woody Herman music. However...Im curious...what is that long footage towards the end? What area, street, building is that? Also any vintage footage of the Hub shopping center on 149th & 3rd avenue?
Taxi!....taxi ...take me to the nearest diner, I want a nice piece of ten cent home made apple pie .
Like the pop ups
Thanks. Greatly appreciated
I remember that era well. 😀😀😀
The Bronx before it became Da Bronx.
I like the pop-up 👌👌👌👌
NEWEST CARS SEEN, THIS FILM, 1947 BUICK, HUDSON !
Those pop up things are annoying. A little Bronx history would be better, if anything. The cars were driving over the macombs dam bridge coming from 161st street, going into Manhattan. All the buildings in the background are still there (on the Grand Concourse). the 4 train is still the same. Yankee stadium was demolished and rebuilt directly across 161st street. The highway is still there (the major Deegan expressway).
In this film the major deegan was being built.
That $800 car in say 1940 would be price inflated to $17K today.
However, even if that car had internal combustion fueled by gas it still wouldn't be built as simplistically as it was back then so doubling that $17K makes sense.
After all, we're so much more technologically advanced then are grandparents (for some - great-grandparents). 🤠
the traffic shots are dull by comparison to the last couple of minutes with views of the people on the street. the people shots are much more interesting to look at. however, the pop-up pieces of information was great. i've seen many footage of manhattan; again, the views from a car of other cars grows wearisome after awhile, wheres footage of people in motion, crossing streets, looking in windows, etc., are always eye-catching. the pop-ups came as a welcome surprise. less than $3,000 for a new home! the joke is on us.
Always better to see people. Fun to see what they were wearing at the time.
These areas look so familiar I'm sure I've been there. Would be nice to see the street signs!🙄
More than likely Columbia pictures had just completed a movie and were just using up leftover film.
1,177 sqft average size of a new home 1940s
Reckless driving even then!
I think because there was no organization, lines on the road and just less cars
I think you meant gas cost 11 cents per gallon in those days, not .11 cents (.11 dollars would also be correct ).
Paid $5.69 a gallon for diesel yesterday in Florida....How much is Diesel in Ny now?
161st street Yankees stadium
That is one of my favorite shots
When the Bronx was a safe place to live. More of these videos please. It feels like I am there. How horrible having to wear a suit. I like it better now. I can go out in sweatpants and slippers. More relaxed now. Too uptight then.
You’re correct. It is a much different world. 😀
DIDN'T NEED NO WELFARE STATE EVERYBODY PULL THIER WEIGHT DOES WERE THE DAYS
The pop ups ruin this video.
That's why S.S.I. is going bankrupt, you died shortly either before or after receiving it, you weren't expected to collect SSI for 20-30 years and with adjustments for inflation.
Popups ruin the flow
The city looked just as over-built and scuzzy then as it does now. Ycch. Give me the country -- trees, space, and sparsely populated with the destructive human animal.
