Experience the enchanting epoch of the roaring 20s, where vintage fashions and styles come alive in vivid color and sound.
Glamourdaze employed cutting-edge machine learning AI to enhance these films, infusing them with color and immersive soundscapes. We elevated the resolution to 4k 60fps, allowing you to truly submerge yourself in the visual and auditory tapestry of the past. Transport yourself to the beach, and feel as if you're part of the scene, sharing moments with people of that bygone era.
Embark with us on a journey a century back in time to the captivating world of 1920s flappers - witness their daring fashion, chic bobbed hairstyles, and rediscover forgotten vintage tales, all reawakened through the enchantment of AI.
Chapters:
00:00 In Palm Beach, Florida, in 1920, a gathering of high-society friends unwinds by the seaside, basking in the January sunshine. The styles of the early 1920s epitomize the pinnacle of fashion embraced by the affluent during that era. From elegant hats and turbans to beach parasols and delightful summer dresses, the ensemble captures the epitome of opulence.
00:18 The Hague: Two flappers stroll in swimsuits along the the shores of Den Haag ( The Hague) sporting fashionable parasols.
00:38 In 1928, Biarritz, France, played host to a street fashion show of the 1920s, spotlighting both swimsuits and dresses. The event was followed by diverse scenes capturing the chic sunbathing moments along the Grande Plage and stylish swimming in the renowned surf of Biarritz.
01:13 In 1926, at English Bay in Vancouver, Canada, authentic 1920s flappers graced the scene with their bobbed haircuts and rolled stockings. The audacious bathing suits of the roaring twenties had triumphantly displaced the Edwardian styles of the past.
01:40 On the Atlantic City Boardwalk in 1927, a clique of college friends enjoys a day out in the midst of the roaring twenties. Catch a fleeting glimpse of the prevalent 1920s trend: beach pajamas.

The Restoration Process:
The restoration process for old silent 16 fps footage involves colorization, upscaling, interpolation, and adding a new soundtrack. Through advanced algorithms and manual techniques, black and white footage is meticulously colorized, while sophisticated algorithms upscale the resolution to enhance clarity. Interpolation techniques smooth out motion, and a new soundtrack is added to enrich the viewing experience with background music, sound effects, and dialogue. Together, these processes revive the footage, offering audiences a more vivid and engaging glimpse into the past.

It’s not just the color, it’s the way the video has been smoothed out and speed corrected. People are moving like they actually moved, instead of the sped up versions we are used to seeing in old footage. It seems to shrink the span between their day and ours. It’s almost as if this was shot yesterday and put through a “classic film” filter. They seem so much more “real”.
Very well done! Thank you.
I wonder how the "sped up" footage became a thing anyway. I guess just to go from say 20fps to 30fps?
@@castirondude I think it had to do with the fact that the cameras were operated by a hand crank which coiled up the spring inside and, as the spring unwound, the camera would slow down a little. Then, when played back at “normal” speed, everything looked sped up. Not positive on that, but it’s my best guess.
Growing up, my brother had a “super 8’ camera that operated on the same principle, and when we played them on a projector we got similar results.
The audio "sound effects" were also most likely created and added. Back then they didn't have the two combined.
English Bay in Vancouver is so cool! Great to see my hometown 100 years ago!
@@JesusChrist-xb7jq The audio track was recorded separately (using a microphone and tape recorder) and then synched with the video in post-production.
Sometimes I think about how, on one hand, we have technology that people from the past could never have imagined, and yet... Many things have always been the same. The feeling of diving in water, warm sunlight, riding a bike, laughing with a friend. There are threads throughout all of history that we share as part of the human experience no matter what time.
Just like farts would’ve stunk then too
@@NZealand Incorrect. Actually it's a known fact that farts did not have a scent until the mid 1940's when people abandoned the use of charcoal lined underpants. As a matter of fact, prior to 1942, people did not fart at all. The first known fart is credited to Mr Pulma Finga, after overindulging in cabbage rolls and beer.
Well put. Thankyou
Beautifully put!
People really took pride in how they dressed back then.
And they looked pretty elegant for the most part !
These are mostly wealthy people though. If you were going to a beach resort or beach cafe it was expected of you to dress nicely and be neatly groomed.
@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118
Yes, you're right,
it's very Gatsby-ish 💃
@janettemasiello5560 I suppose the point I wanted to make was that it was not necessarily so that people took more pride in the way they dressed but that, particularly among the upper classes, there were quite strict rules and expectations about how they presented themselves.
It's not the exact same as right now where a celebrity can be spotted outside wearing a worn out pair of sweat pants and a stained t-shirt. Some magazine might report on it but that's pretty much it I imagine. People have more freedom now and the expectations are less strict. That also has a lot to do with how fashion has changed over the years.
I personally think 90s minimalism in fashion has had some bad effect on fashion in general.
Most people were paid a livable wage and could take pride in what they wore.
@@mirandataylor6385quality of life was much lower back then. Many more people were still dying of malnutrition compared to today.
The colorization removes some of the time distance we often experience when looking at old footage. Love it! ❤
100% ❤
indeed, and if you eat when you are hungry, the feeling of hunger dissipates often aswell
No distance, I feel it was yesterday.
Where are all the POC's. These societies desparately need more diveristy!
Was this really filmed in the 1920s n recently colourized w sound added, or was it videographed in the 2020s? There doesn't seem to be any certainty either way.
I can't get enough of these. All these happy people dead & gone. Seeing what we see. Doing what we do. It brings it all to life. So real. Lovely work. Thanks for your time & patience
Love and joy, everything we are and experience and create, is never truly gone from this world. It lives on in the most unexpected of places. Things like these videos help us remember.
They are our future. Someone a 100 years later will be watching us all dead and gone.
For me, it is not so much strange that they are gone but that that whole society is gone: all of them. There's zero common population between our world and their world.
@@brexitgreens The remains of many of the bodies are still decomposing underneath the ground. So, not all gone yet. Definitely, all dead, though.
just like we think today there'll be no end, everything ends, life constantly gets recicled, they had their good times and some bad times like everyone else, that's how life works
What comes to mind watching this footage, is that throughout the years everyone was young once , playful, and happy!!
Beautiful thought - then you realize why there aren't that many young men in this footage.
Keep in mind, the viewing here is of the playful and happy Bourgeois/Ruling class! May-it-be we will get a glimpse of the Ruled/Salt of the earth!, in one of these videos.
Think?
@@onewayup5 my mother was born in the 20s into a very working class home with little money to spare but day trips to the seaside were very much part of her childhood.
True. But then you can only imagine what they went through during the following decade.
Fantastic job! Hard to believe these scenes were filmed a hundred years ago.
Which means they’re all ghosts now
@@rachela6554 You mean dead I presume ;)
@@BrianCarnevaleB26 for decades, many doctors have insisted the cigarettes they promote are healthy for you. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
Why? Because fake color was added to the film. They are just people like you and I.
You want to do drugs?@@BrianCarnevaleB26
My dad, who was born in 1922, would had been a todler or maybe entering grade when those scenes were filmed. He died 4.5 years ago at age 96. That is really good enhanced video.
Humbling.
Will be us all one day -- memories floating by.
Not even that. My life as young wasn't captured like this. It will be entirely forgotten.
@@herrbonk3635 Most of us are forgotten after three generations anyway.
@@herrbonk3635 Nope. Somebody was filming you when you weren't looking.
@@NuisanceMan Yeah, dad did sometimes. But these short double-8 films would be forgotten too.
"All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain..."
This is too cool. It's like having a time machine without messing up the past...or the future.
Hearing voices and seeing colour feels so real after only seeing black and white photos ❤ It means so much to me when I'm spending hours reconstructing outfits from the Era to see them moving and be worn than sitting in a static image. I love these videos!!!
fake audio
the audio is putting underneath its not real, at this time you dont have an audio track to record on film
@@K1OIK Callling it "fake" audio is unfair. It was added to provide atmosphere, not to deceive.
@@Teeb2023 Then it should be stated that is fake.
Suponiendo que el sonido en las películas no llego hasta 1927 es muy posible @@pascalmerschaudio
This upgraded footage has closed the gap between then and now. Everything seems so much more relatable.
Beautiful !! Keep these coming please. I love to travel to the past like this! 😌
What beautiful work~ Can't believe that was a hundred years ago. Such beautiful young people! Thank you!!
The tech used to restore and colorize these videos is absolutely amazing!
This is fabulous! Great job! I absolutely adore vintage clothing. People seemed so cheerful and carefree back then. Sad to think most are deceased now. 😢
These are the wealthy, not the average citizen. Inequilty during the 20s was very high and workers had few rights. Strikes were frequently put down by armed private security. We have it far better today.
I think that they’re probably all dead. My mother was born in 1929 and is 94 years old as of 11.26.2023.
@@EYE_GOTCHA Probably so, but my mom’s friend born in 1924 is 99 years old and still living!
@@karenhoward6712Yeah, but they were babies when these were filmed… the adults are probably all dead
@@AlfieAlpaca Yes! 👍🏻
Lindas essas imagens da década de 20.
I am always amazed at how your videos bring these people back to life. The two girls from The Hague felt so real and so human - that really touched me. Thank you for your lovely work.
they were real.
Well, they were real and human, so..
Absolutely glorious watching people just having a good time. Always amazes me how everything changes but the sea and sand never change. It’s so surreal looking back so far in time
Beautiful work put into all your videos thank you they are always amazing !! 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Bravo !!! Absolutely delightful, elegant, joyful, they all seem happy !!! So beautiful...Thanksfully for your work !!!💖👍🎈🎉🎈👋
So beautiful..brings tears to my eyes
Wish i could go back in time
For what?
@@ryancraig9352 People didn't have to deal with blacks back then for starters. It was safe, clean and civilized. The opposite of today.
Danke... wieder mal eine tolle Restauration ❤
Those beach scenes remind me of Some Like It Hot. They got the look and vibe really accurate in that film!
That's really true. Although it would be easier to get that authentic look since the movie was shot only a generation away from this era.
Its amazing. The colour brings these people to life.
Sound engineer and foley artist deserve a medal. Amazing
Amazing to see films like this cleaned up and played at the correct speed, unlike most olde timey film reels often are. Fashions aside these people look like someone could meet today. Closest we'll get to time travel with our current understanding of the multiverse.
Really amazing! Congratulations!!!
These are really well done. I'm especially impressed by the audio that's been added - it fits each scene without being over the top. Really gives a sense of being there.
Fake video
@@briesn7004 Proof?? It's AI-reprocessed, not AI-created.
@@user-eb5cb6ud1p
keep telling yourself that 😄, nowadays they can fake everything because of technology, the proof is we didn't see these videos before social media .. it's a coincidence? For you yes but not for me .
@@briesn7004 Instead of bleating "FAKE" why not look at the notes that tell where the original films are stored?? Or are you going so say that all of those schools and film archivists are fakers too?
And these old films WERE seen before social media but they weren't common. They were difficult to distribute b/c they couldn't be digitized. Plus they were all grainy b&w and not very "interesting" to most people. Hell we watched a copy of the 1896 gardener prank back in a high school history class, but it was on a reel of film because there was no other way to distribute it.
What changed is that AI restoration matured only a decade or so after social media started to spread. People didn't have to be tech geniuses or have a PhD in electronics to upgrade and colorize old films. Instead of sending individual copies to schools and exhibits one person could show their work to millions of people.
Read some history, it's fascinating stuff and won't hurt your head.
I love watching these, the people so full of life that aren't here, so happy and carefree, I remember a time that I thought I would never get old, it just seemed so far out there that it wouldn't happen, I guess by the time I had to start working and raise a family, reality started setting in, been married twice now, raised two families and we are a foster home, life is good, you only get one life, live it.
some of your best work yet. thanks again.
Everyone is saying how the colour and the sound help them relate to that era, which is so true! I have a picture of my Grandmother from 1928, she was 36, less than a year after giving birth to twins. The picture looks ancient, she's wearing what appears to be a frumpy black lace dress, looks like history, not my Grandmother. But, flip it over and it's instantly relatable, she wrote, "Take one look at this picture then burn it!"
Love this!!!
The female voice that squeaks out "That's all" at the end of these vintage films is not Betty Boop but singer Annette Hanshaw who ended many of her recordings with that line.
She's known today as the vocalist whose 1920 songs were scattered throughout the multiple award-winning & well-received Nina Paley animated feature "Sita the Sings the Blues."
Especially good was "Who's That Knocking At My Door." Great film, a little quirky though ingenious.
To see and be seen. Wonderful, lovely film of people and days gone by. Can one imagine going to the beach dressed in one’s finest and go for a stroll down the boardwalk. What happened to genteel times in Society? People truly cared about one another. Manners, speech without profanity nor dirty talk, courtliness, consideration and enjoying polite conversation. Now, people talk by text, abbreviated words and emojis with their heads buried in their phones. Abrupt and rude towards each other. Curse words on their tongues. Very sad.
I mean....it's worth noting that at the same time these folks were at the beach enjoying polite conversation, the Ku Klux Klan was at it's height of popularity - 50,000 unmasked Klansmen marched in DC in 1925 with no fear of repercussions from their communities.
The past is very much a different country. All so slim, smart & modest in elegant looking surroundings with no litter or junk food. The modern world seems to be a rather more backward place, technology aside.
Real life time travel at it's finest. Thanks For posting
Wow, this was fantastic! Thank you for sharing this ❤
the colorizing is getting better, so crisp, as close to a time machine as we can get (until tomorrow)
Beautiful! They had so many vibrant colors back then. Today everything seems so bland. Adding a comment that yes I know it is colorized for those who misunderstood a simple comment. It is neat to see what vibrant people they were and how colorful their clothing was as I’m sure this channel researches these things.
Every girl looks like a prostitute these day.
Back then girls looks like girls
Darling , these colors are fake !
@@gloriaortiz1227 shes right, everybody knows people before 1950 they all weared black and white, its highly documented , colors were invented after the TV was created
@@Eet_Mia Why are you so insulting? Of course it was originally black and white and I’m assuming the colors added were based on actual historical evidence of the clothing and the colors they wore. I enjoyed all of the colorful hats and vibrant designs and colors of the dresses and other clothing.
@@Eet_Mia So what is your point? Most things would have faded after 100 years. I’m sure they were very vibrant at one time.
amazing footage! heart warming! thank you!
Simply stunning.
Nice job. And excellent job on the sound! Most people probably don't realize that it's added to the silent footage.
Looks like you had some fun with the sound design!
Fantastic video!! beatiful scenes Thanks very much, best regards from santiago, chile
Wonderful! Thank you for sharing. These clips are very powerful
Love the, “That’s all.”
0:05 don't know why i'm fascinated with the guy in the suit. So elegant and classy.
He reminds me exactly of my neighbor growing up as a child. Incredibly nice man. Had a beautiful daughter who unfortunately took her own life in the 70s. Never the same after that.
Everyone looks very happy.
How great that is! :)
Thanks for sharing it. :)
What a fabulous film. Thanks for posting
Here in 3 minutes this is cool😊❤
Everybody's hair is done, everybody's well dressed. Even their facial expressions are different. Everybody looks like a movie star compared to today.
Rich relaxed comfortably
@@Tad-zh4wr What do you mean?
They were well groomed bc they had likely been wealthy and had been wearing expensive clothing. They were relaxed and happy bc they had no hardships. Akin to wealthy people today in this respect, is all I meant. ☮️
Simpler times for sure . I always enjoy looking back in the past . ❤️
Beautifully done!
Look how calm people were then....wonderfull
They were all of the same persuasion
Lovely much happier times , less technology so the World was bigger we lived in our land and others lived in their lands
Yes, there is a surreal quality to this. They were all young and idealistic and full of hope for the future. And now, most of them are forgotten by the generations that followed them. And we, to follow. Time is the great equalizer. Mortality happens
These are fantastic! I had no idea that they could record while filming! Also seeing the two guys in the ocean with what appeared to be surfboards really amazed me! Keep them coming!
Better than the “20’s” we have now I’m sure.
Can't believe how much better people dressed back then.
Classier.
Love the sound effects!
That is incredible! Thanks !
A place I would love to travel back and stay forever in the 1920s
You're not thinking that through. Just for starters, think of all the diseases they had then and routinely died of that we've more or less eliminated now - though anti-vaxxers are determined to bring them back. 🙄
Yes it can cone back by telling the designers to bring that fashion again
Overal quality of life is better right now, it may seem glamorous but I wouldn't want to go live in the 1920s. Consider things like polio, war, lack of insulation in houses, safety issues with electrical appliances, how much worse health care was (even if you had money), etc. The list goes on and on.
If you love the style of the 1920s, then please by all means dress yourself in it and decorate your home like that.
Gorgeous footage. .. always thought provoking to see these snapshots of recent history...
Fascinating to consider all these people are passed on...
Ty... cheers
Amazing footage of bygone days of almost 100 years ago. Just think how interesting the contemporty footage now being filmed by auditors will thrill viewers 100 year in the future.
Wow! This is amazing!
wow
I love these enhanced videos. Feels like time travel.
It's a fake movie
@@briesn7004 no the original source was real black & white film. Even old film is good quality compared to camcorders from not that long ago. Nowadays it’s easy to transfer old film in a manner that allows for one to extra highlights, mid tones, and shadows so that the lighting can be corrected/enhanced. From there speed is corrected, stabilization is added, color is added, frames are added via AI (to bring it from 23fps to 60fps), and scratches are removed. Only the sound is fake/simulated. The end result looks like this.
@@ghostdogzx-1474 Nowadays it's easy to fake everything, a lot of technology today , computer added, not only color and light , I don't believe everything I see , specially nowadays, sorry
@@briesn7004 it would actually be easier to restore old footage as I described above, than it would to produce a video like this from scratch.
@@ghostdogzx-1474 there is no restore old footage like this , why we didn't see it before social media and technology ? Most of those pictures are acting + computer
That's really incredible, amazing!!!!
Incredible. Makes me wish time travel really was a thing. I'd spend so much time just wandering around in the past, taking it all in, in complete amazement. Of course I'd cherry pick the nicer places and times to visit, such as those presented here as I wouldn't be brave enough to visit Poland/Yugoslavia etc during war time.
People's bodies: They have such wonderful proportions and shape and such good skin. Not like today.
not very athletic though, most people had flacid muscles
@@Joao-id4dn Flaccid and flabby muscles in the young probably did not exist then. In the 80'ies and 90'ies I had a very good muscle tone. Today you see 20 year olds with hangy muscles on the legs, no good tone at all and probably very soft if you stick a finger in there. The young women also have no waist today. It was way better when I was young and even better long before that. Women had size 37 and 38 on the feet. Today they have size 40 and 41. It is done by government policy and a medical tyrrany with vaccines, toxic medicines and food and ultrasound that give the children allergies, small heads and small bodies. You see small people with strange body shapes everywhere today. We need freedom. See what the next USA president says, Dr. Shiva Ayyudarai.
The good old days when everything wasn't so complicated. No cell phones, no camera's keeping an eye on you.
I wish i could jump in a time machine and spend a day or two between all these happy people just minding their own business and enjoying life.
Didd you notice the lack of litter. The roads and beach areas, look almost like film sets, in which they have not "dressed" with rubbish. A stark contrast from todays beach scenes.
@@SWEETHEAD1000 This is what *AMERICAN* culture was. Now we have *multiculturalism* along with violence and disgusting perversions.
the "good old days" is always in the past.
OTOH, it was a time of revolutionary social change.
Those fashions, especially the ladies' swimwear, would have been unthinkable and scandalous 30 years previously.
Beautiful footage
Nice little time capsule thanks for sharing
It's quite impressive to think that the children born in that period will leave for the second war after about twenty years.
Wow. I imagine in the next few years AI will be able to take even old scratchy footage and fill in detail and colour to make the highest possible resolution colour images. It's interesting because restoring old films was a long, expensive and painstaking process but I imagine AI will just be able to do it with ease.
I'm looking forward to seeing where AI takes us.
Probably to alien worlds.
But there won’t be any humans to enjoy them.
Amazing! And especially amazing work on the colour restoration and camera speed!
I simply can't believe that they even had Drone Footage from back then! Absolutely Incredible!
Drone footage?
❤❤❤
0:24 looks like the girl on the left was purposefully ''hip swinging' for the camera.
Your view and words are spot-on! Keep the truth coming! : )
Great job! I’m especially impressed with the added audio and foley effects.

I loved this!!!
I just love how engaged everyone was.

Great restoration, xlnt post sound work too.
Excellent colorization! Thanks;)
The sunbrellas are interesting. I wonder if it was all for the fashion of skin lightness or there were any health concerns..... I think the former...
Well to avoid getting burned too. I can burn in 20 minutes. China and Japan used these too.
Wow looks like paradise... a place where modesty and grace are preferred.
That was spectacular footage and the resilience😮
Impressive job ! This video seems to be so current ! Well done !
A time when it was safe to be in public without thugs around each corner.
A time when it was safe to be in public without black people around each corner. Thats what you mean so just say that.
Just look how slim, svelte and stylish everyone looks. People today look an absolute mess.
You're comparing a very small set of wealthy people's lifestyles to that of the average person today. Either way it's apples/oranges. Wealthy folks have time and money to eat well and exercise.
@@chuckhunter77 No I'm not. I remember the 60s & 70s and people were still slim and they weren't dressed like 13 year old rap fans or covered with gaudy tattoos. Check out some old footage of those decades.
@chuckhunter77 poor people worked physically demanding jobs all day. U think they were fat?
@@cionm7077 Exactly! Back then many jobs were far more physically demanding. People didn't have the machines to assist them like they do today. Things were knocked down with sledgehammers not mini bulldozers. People lifted wooden ladders because they didn't have cherry pickers. People did physical jobs in factories before the advent of robotics. People also walked more. There was one car on my street when I was 6 years old. That street is now nose to tail with parked cars every day.
Precisely Chuck. You’re articulate and said it better than I.
Excellent!!!! Thanks
Awesome video very beautiful
Hard to believe the camera man had to time travel 100 years.
