  • I colorized, restored and created a sound design for this video of of New York 1945
    a time travel in beautiful New York 1945, we can clearly see what is happening in broad daylight, The right turn at 0:41 is onto 8th Avenue, traveling south. The turn appears to be around 50th Street. The Squire Theater, first visible in the distance on the right at about 1:20, was between 43rd and 44th. The Times Theater, visible at about 2:30, was showing The Princess And The Pirate, with Bob Hope and Virginia Mayo, which was released in November 1944. The Arena Theater, on the next block at 2:45, was on 41st Street. The film ends at 31st Street. (Thx Bobo4037)
    Video Restoration Process:
    ✔ FPS boosted to 60 frames per second
    ✔ Image resolution boosted up to HD
    ✔ Improved video sharpness and brightness
    ✔ Colorized only for the ambiance (not historically accurate)
    ✔added sound only for the ambiance
    ✔restoration:(stabilisation,denoise,cleand,deblur)
    Please, be aware that colorization colors are not real and fake, colorization was made only for the ambiance and do not represent real historical data.

    What’s craziest to me is the lack of traffic lights, or even lines in the road, every intersection was just a complete free for all, people just walked across whenever they felt like it, and the cars somehow managed to stay orderly for the most part.

The most we'll see is aesthetics and smaller tech. Unless we go apocalypse mode, and everyone will be wearing bits of tires and metal spikes in 20 years.

I’m 28 years old and in my lifetime we’ve gone from dialup internet that took minutes to load a single webpage with just text to having a supercomputer beyond my wildest childhood imagination in the space of 20 years. It’s not really something you think about though. And it doesn’t feel surreal to me now.

      If you have ears to hear, hear and understand you are probably one of GODS lost sheep that needs to be found there is this hole in your heart and you tried many times and many things and many ways to fill it and still are but it’s not working and it keeps getting bigger and bigger you would be around multiple people and still feel lonely and work so hard to take those bad thoughts away etc but let me tell you JESUS is the one who can fill that whole in your heart JESUS is that missing piece you’ve been looking for, that peace that’s never ending that true love and joy and happiness it’s in JESUS not of this world but of the kingdom of heaven and if you want to accept him in your heart all you have to do is believe in the gospel A-admit that you’re a sinner and that you need forgiveness, B-Believe that JESUS CHRIST died for your sins and rose again, and C-Confess your faith in JESUS CHRIST and his lordship over your life and you will be saved and this amazing feeling is not a drug it won’t last a couple hours but forever eternally bc it is not of this world but of GOD who sits on the throne of heaven forever and ever HALLELUJAH ❤️😇✝️
