+Elі Subscriber² Posted May 10, 2013 Subscriber² Share Posted May 10, 2013 Was it really filmed in color or was the color added later on through processing? sometimes the color like pops up at you or fades away a little, not sure if it's my imagination though lol, anyway pretty nice.

Steven P. Administrators Posted May 10, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted May 10, 2013 This process produced the illusion of true colour by exposing each alternate frame of ordinary black-and-white film stock through a two different coloured filters. Each alternate frame of the monochrome print was then stained red or green. Although the projection of Biocolour prints did provide a tolerable illusion of true colour, it suffered from noticeable flickering and red-and-green fringing when the subject was in rapid motion. In an attempt to overcome the colour fringing problem, a faster-than-usual frame rate was used. Source: Wikipedia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+InsaneNutter MVC Posted May 10, 2013 MVC Share Posted May 10, 2013 Pretty mad to think my Grandma would have been 4 years old when this was filmed. The quality is very impressive considering the age! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cute James Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 I found this film to be rather moving. It's incredible to think how much the city has changed, and yet, how much has remained largely the same. Thanks for posting!

francescob Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 So, who's going to load it on youtube just to click the "I feel lucky" button on the editor to have those washed out colours fixed? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeChipshop Member Posted May 10, 2013 Member Share Posted May 10, 2013 Brilliant piece of footage. Besides the fashion, few missing buildings and far more trees/sparrows, looks pretty similar now! 1927 Google street view! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astra.Xtreme Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Wow, that was really awesome. It's a shame the days of everybody wearing suits has passed. It's also interesting seeing how intrigued people were by somebody filming. We've come a long ways in the last century.

Steven P. Administrators Posted May 14, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted May 14, 2013 I don't see Jack, the Ripper ... Jack predates this by 30 years, and he was probably already dead as some believe he either got ill or died when he suddenly stopped murdering and mocking the police.

Paul Ferson Veteran Posted May 14, 2013 Veteran Share Posted May 14, 2013 That was very cool. It's strange knowing the age of that footage, and yet there's a strange familiarity to it. It reminded me of something similar that might appeal. While it's not video footage, it's a series of color pictures from Tsarist Russia - and they're now just over a century old. They're the Produkin-Gorskii pictures. There's that strange similarity in them as well. What gets me about stuff like this is stopping and thinking about what happened between when they were created and now. That's when it gets really crazy. +Mirumir 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
