Lumiere films from the very early days of film, subjected to various ML refinements and coupled with foley sounds, and you've got some amazingly modern looking movies from 125 years ago! 21 old films from 1895 to 1902 colorized and upscaled in 60 fps, with sound runs 22 minutes, with the first 4m33s describing the upscaling process.
From Denis Shiryaev's YouTube channel:
A few months ago I found an amazing YouTube channel with some Lumiere films uploaded with great source quality. It was hard to resist not doing some Machine Learning magic with them, aaaand here is the result of a few months of processing and sound editing.
