Very cool video. I like this stuff.
I made a similar post a few months ago almost a year and a half ago?!? Wow …of a video I found of 1908 San Francisco, just 4 days before the earthquake struck. Like you, I wondered at the fates of those people on the street going about their business, with no idea what was about to befall them.
I thought the frame-smoothing and colorization of the 1908 SF video were very well done, although the frame smoothing results in some weird artifacts, like wagon wheels that don’t appear to turn properly- they sort of stutter back and forth. The added sounds of wagon wheels on the street, horses whinnying and car horns honking give it ambience and adds to the feeling of being there.
