  • Wonderful and nostalgic look at the Bronx in New York from the 1940's. Color added along with sound. Along with Pop-Up Nostalgic History. Mainly driving shots. New York Bronx 1940s in COLOR w/SOUND 60fps
    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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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?

    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.

    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). 🤠
