Denis Shiryaev has found a way to clarify the world’s earliest films and their signature grainy textures. He transformed the classic 1896 The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat Station into a 50-second film that suddenly reveals distinct faces of the passengers scrambling to get on the train, in addition to details on the locomotive that otherwise were undistinguishable in the original version. According to Peta Pixel, Shiryaev first used Topaz Lab’s Gigapixel AI to upgrade the film’s resolution to 4K, followed by Google’s DAIN, which he used to create and add frames to the original file, bringing it to 60 frames per second.

I adore that old movies, I watched so many of them in the last few years, from the period of the 1880´s to 1940´s and beyond, at least those that I could find on online video platforms like YouTube, Dailymotion, Vimeo etc. And from the oldest ones, I like illusionist experiments, if you can call them like that, of the French movie genius Georges Melies (https://libertasnova.wordpress.com/2018/10/01/georges-melies-u-svijetu-fantazije-i-opticke-iluzije/)…
