Abbott and Costello in No Indians Please Colorized

Описание к видео Abbott and Costello in No Indians Please Colorized

In 1949 my dad, Clarence Boneck, purchased an Ampro 16mm sound projector. He had a windup 16mm Kodak Movie camera that was used to film home movies. He Joined the Movie of the Month club and would get movies monthly. When he got enough from the club as well as purchasing other sound movies he put them on a large reel. All were black and white. My brother John and I would watch these over and over and from repetition, were able to memorize the lines of the actors. A famous line in the WC Fields Great Chase was, "Mommie, doesn't that man have a funny nose? His mother replied, "You Mussen't make fun of the gentleman, Clifford. You'd like to have a nose like that full of nickles. Would't you?" Since this movie is still copy righted I could not put it on You Tube and it looks like Abbott and Costello in “No Indians Please” did not renew its copy right in 1974 and it now may be in the Public domain. Dad would go to one room country schools to have a movie night for a packed out crowd. In 2011 these archived movies along with other home movies were digitized to a DVD. The cost was $1750. The old projector still is in my attic and all the 16mm movies are in my closet. I could not find the heart to get rid of them. Then comes Pixbim Video Colorize AI software as well as Topaz Video Enhance AI. I first tried this out on the whole reel of black and white movies from the archived DVD. Pixbim colorizer has two options. I choose the high quality one on my high end computer. After over 5 days of processing the footage, it crashed right at the end. I then used pinnacle 24 to separate out the individual eight minute movies to put through another artificial intelligent program, Topaz Video Enhance AI, model Artemes Low quality to get a clearer picture an supposedly, 1080P. This took around an hour. I then put the resultant file back through Pinnacle 24 or Power Directo 11 before putting it through Pixbim Colorize AI. This 8 minute program took 24 hours to process on high quality in Pixbim. The processed result was not perfect in color and smoothness. I am sure, with a little time and a little more experience on my part, the Pixbim program will be more improved to be more accurate and smoother in its color rendition. You be the judge. Pixbim and Topaz are still amazing programs. Some of the not perfect results are probably due to operator error. I too, with experience, will get better at remastering this type of old video. My next colorization project, if not copyrighted, will be a 16mm cartoon sound movie,”The Health Farm”. Watch for it.
