Показать описание
I colorized, restored and created a sound design for this video of California 1960s , we start in Stockton CA, we can see the traffic in the night and a lot of open stores, then we have another road in California with people walking when the night starts to fall after we have a street scene in san francisco with a lot of open shops and a good neon.

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.

60 years later this film sparkles with new life. The ambiance of the tires splashing on the wet streets was spot on. I miss the often exotic hues of neon lights.

It's so clear; it's like being in a time machine into the 60s. Wonderful!

Cars of that era are works of art. Sculptures which transport.

Watching that upstairs apartment window, people living there life. Imagine recognizing that its your house and seeing yourself from that perspective from all those years ago and not knowing that this footage ever existed.

I was a child in San Francisco at the time of this footage (ca. 1962). What a strange and wistful feeling watching it. Very nicely done! Thank you for posting it.

I remember these days. Stepping outside felt like a dream. Romance was in the air.

The streets I walked. The sights I saw. But most of all, the people I have loved and lost.

I love how everything was lit up in neon and incandescent back then. No LEDs to make you go blind.

I'm beginning to think NASS is a time traveler. He just brings his high quality camera back to the past, then shares it with all of us.

Amazing video! It’s so fascinating to see those beautiful cars, the great scenery and the way the pedestrians used to dress. Its like going into a Time Machine back to the simpler times when people were thinking bright for the future. Always fun to watch these, would love to see more.

Look how clean the sidewalks and streets looked. I wonder how many of these businesses have survived the decades.

4:40 - Sabella's Capri Room at Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco. Established in 1927, the restaurant was owned by Luciano Sabella, one of many Sicilian immigrants who dominated the city's fishing industry at that time. He and his son Antone opened a fish store in Jefferson Street and then established the restaurant on the historic Wharf. Four generations of the Sabella family ran the restaurant in the ensuing decades as well as the Capri Room, a supper club which flourished in the 1950s. Sadly A. Sabellas, which had a magnificent view of the Bay, closed in 2007 when family members decided they didn't want to continue in the restaurant business.

5:55 - Burp Hollow at 473 Broadway was infamous for the bad pay to the performers, tiny stage, watered-down booze and unsavoury club owner — a wheel chair-bound former Mafioso named Millio Militti. Burp Hollow operated between 1956 and 1966.

Amazing work on the sound design and colorization. Watching this really feels like looking through a wormhole back into time.

Anyone else feeling melancholy? It all whips by so fast, doesn't it? As a kid, I loved making faces in the hubcaps of cars. Rememba'?

Your footage restoration feels like being on the set of American graffiti, shot in Modesto and Santa Clara etc.
Wonderful.
Merci.

Back to my childhood before high school in L.A. The days were warm and nights were cool. We'd play ball at the park until the lights went on and then went home to dinner, homework, and TV till 11 p.m. Life was much simpler then except for everything we'd see and read in the news about Vietnam, from 1964 through 1973.

Thanks again NASS. I got to remember Grotto #9 again. I grew up in the 1960's In san jose Calif. Parents to me to Grotto #9 once a month to have Fish and chips upstairs. White table cloths and warm Parisian sour dough bread w real butter. It was amazing. The car show was fabulous with those 50-60's cars! Cars were made of heavy metal those days. 😊You rock!
