Quote:Following the Armistice, in early 1919, Trolley de Prévaux and Le Saint undertook a pivotal flight over the devastated Western Front, from the Belgian coastline to the French citadel city of Verdun. They meticulously recorded the war-torn landscape for posterity. This footage, a testament to the horrific destruction of the First World War and it serves as a grim warning of where the world is possibly heading today. This footage would remain unseen by the public for nearly a century until a 2010 BBC documentary presented by Fergal Keane called The First World War From Above introduced is to the Resistance hero Trolley de Prévaux. His daughter Aude Yung-de Prévaux who was a baby when her parents were taken by the Gestapo, had never seen her fathers image until this film was shown to her.

How silent footage is HD colorized and brought to Life

I take early fragments of silent 16fps footage and restore them to life by a combination of manual frame by frame colorization as well as the use of deep exemplar-based video colorization techniques. The footage is upscaled and the frames interpolated to a higher frame rate ( in most cases 60 frames per second.) Finally I produce a soundtrack which helps build a new immersive experience for the viewer.
Together, these processes revive old fragments of footage,  offering audiences a more
vivid and engaging glimpse of lives long since lived in the distant past
