The Restoration Process:

The restoration process for old silent 16 fps footage involves colorization, upscaling, interpolation, and adding a new soundtrack. Through advanced algorithms and manual techniques, black and white footage is meticulously colorized, while sophisticated algorithms upscale the resolution to enhance clarity. Interpolation techniques smooth out motion, and a new soundtrack is added to enrich the viewing experience with background music, sound effects, and dialogue. Together, these processes revive the footage, offering audiences a more vivid and engaging glimpse into the past.
