I colorized , restored and I added a sky visual effect and created a sound design for this video of San Francisco 1906, A Trip Down Market Street, Shot on April 14, 1906, four days before the San Francisco earthquake and fire. From the front of a cable car, a motion picture camera records a trip down Market Street, San Francisco, California, from a point between 8th & 9th Streets, Eastward to the cable car turnaround at the Ferry Building,

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 design only for the ambiance
✔restoration:(stabilisation,denoise,cleand,deblur)
✔ SKY Visual Effects (not historically accurate)

Please, be aware that colorization colors and SKY Visual Effects are not real and fake, colorization and VFX was made only for the ambiance and do not represent real historical data.

    Which is better: Life in 1900s or Life in 2024?? Which city would you like to live in in the 1900s??
  • @ricky836
    Still better than most of the security cameras 116 years later.
  • @PatriaPrimum
    This is, for me, the closest thing to time travel that we can get so far. Absolutely incredible
  • I'm fascinated by the eclectic mix of transportation. On one street you've got horse drawn buggies alongside automobiles, and these alongside electric trolleys and bicycles. It captures a very unique moment in time with the 19th century on the way out, but the 20th just being ushered in. It reminds me how in any era you can see those glimpses of "how it's always been" mixed with what is to come.
  • @wide_awake
    Crazy to imagine after watching this, what would happen only days later from this being filmed
  • @SteelTwilight
    The kid waving to us at 9:00 had no idea he'd be waving to thousands of people over a hundred years in the future, and many more to come. Fascinating. I wonder where his path in life took him.
  • What makes this even more fascinating is that this was filmed just two days before the April 18th 1906 San Francisco earthquake. One of the deadliest events in United States history. Over 80% of the city was destroyed, fires raged throughout the city, and more than 3,000 people died as a result of that earthquake. This isn't only the oldest video of this kind, but it captures images of the city and structures than would soon be gone forever.
  • @benelleliv
    Fascinating how not a single person alive in that film could have imagined 9.6M people watching them 120 years later.
  • @SquidofCubes
    This looks so much cleaner and safer than it does now
  • @alexduran2476
    Big respect to the people of that era who shot that footage for future generations.
  • @siddrajput1029
    No rules of the road. Carriages, cars, horses, trolleys and people coming in from everywhere. Fun to watch. A 116 year old footage is the oldest thing I've seen.
  • I spotted cable car numbers: 124, 125, 22, 204, 115, 172, 34, 211, 128, 213, 167 (?), 143, 171, 226, 157, 33, and 205. Undoubtedly, many of these are still in service. It would be cool to find and photograph them as they appear today.
  • It makes you realize how short life is. Loved how people just drove any direction they wanted, a few horses running free, boys chasing cars and a girl with a bow in her hair. I was thinking about her fixing up for the day. A moment in time remembered and observed by strangers. This was interesting. Thanks for sharing.
  • @cool_lateef
    To think that nobody in this footage is alive today makes you appreciate life more.
  • The video quality is superb. Now, the sound is a work of art. Extremely well done!
  • It awesome seeing some notice the camera and stare into it. Looking us in the eyes from over a hundred years ago.
  • @hhm140
    Pedestrians cut in front of the streetcar with impunity. Cars and horse-drawn carts veer in and out of traffic lanes and nobody seems to get bothered. That city is alive and this version makes you feel like a part of it. This is great time travel.
  • @Evanderj
    Those good people would be happy to know the traditions of not checking blind spots and cutting others off is still alive & well. Really grateful to see this colorized footage.
  • @user-th4pl6fd4e
    Великая сила кино! Этих людей уже много лет нет в живых, а они на экране живы!!!
  • @SkoobyShnacks
    Amazes me how the street looks chaotic, yet everyone is calm and cool and just going where they need to go.
