I colorized, restored and created a sound design for this video of Montreal, Canada 1930s, we can see clearly, what is happening, in broad daylight in the city

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.

    Which city would you like to visit in 1930s?

    Merci infiniment d’avoir fait Montréal. C’est impressionnant de comparer à ce que l’on connaît aujourd’hui. 🙏

    I live in Southern Cal and went to Quebec and Montreal last year. Montreal still has most of those buildings and they value their historic architecture.

    Superbe restauration, on a vraiment l’impression d’y être, merci.

    I don’t think Montrealers know how truly lucky they are to be from this city. It remains joyful, rustic, bohemian and cultural.

    A lot of that footage is amazingly current. Some changes occurred, of course, but the basic outline is the same. Montreal is my hometown, and I filmed and photographed it for more than 40 years and your clip is right on the money!
  • I am a Montrealer, my parents were 1 years old when these images were captured. Looking at the elegance of the people, I understand better how keen my dad was on dressing so well. He was a dandy. And my mom to this day dresses up nicely every time we visit her or we go out with her. Montreal was truly a word class city and it has recaptured its beauty over the past few decades after a period of neglect.

    Montréal a terriblement changé. Je remarque particulièrement le Parc Lafontaine et le Belvédère du Mont-Royal... Tant de verdure décimée. La beauté du Parc Lafontaine me fait beaucoup pensé au Central Park de New York. Ces images sont si précieuses, merci de nous les partager.

    Great video. Interesting to see a sign for the White Star Line at the dock at the end.
  • You know, when I first noticed this video title come across my computer screen I thought "so what!" But something nudged me to take a peak....and I am so glad I did....I was so intrigued and glued to the screen to the very end. What a gem of a historic treasure to take a "walk back in time." I grew up in Quebec province and once in a while traveled to Montreal....what a difference as time goes on. Thank you for the quality and sound and a trip back to the way things were once upon a time. 💯☺🇨🇦🇲🇶
  • Quel beau vidéo ! Un merveilleux voyage dans le temps ! Merci beaucoup !!! 😀
  • There is something about those time and the way camera started. Amazing work adding sound and color. mesmerizing!
  • @SoyTravels
    C’est tellement impressionnant de voir la façon de vie avant. J’habite à Longueuil, c’est un banlieu de Montréal ♥️
  • Thank you! For uploading these videos I really appreciate the time and effort you put into these vintage videos taking us back in time I love your work and enthusiasm.
  • @Dan-pd9ys
    I am obsessed with this. I have always loved these remastered re-colorized footage clips but I have yet to see one for Montreal, where I was born and continue to call home. Thank you for sharing!
  • @methodtack
    I'm from Québec and I thank you for this video!!
  • @dimik3855
    This kind of footage is way better and more realistic than any Hollywood recreation.
