Related: About this forumSan Francisco 1906 (New Version) in Color [VFX,60fps, Remastered] w/sound design added
I colorized , restored and I added a sky visual effect and created a sound design for this video of San Francisco 1906, A Trip Down Market Street, Shot on April 14, 1906, four days before the San Francisco earthquake and fire. From the front of a cable car, a motion picture camera records a trip down Market Street, San Francisco, California, from a point between 8th & 9th Streets, Eastward to the cable car turnaround at the Ferry Building,
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 design only for the ambiance
✔restoration: (stabilisation,denoise,cleand,deblur)
✔ SKY Visual Effects (not historically accurate)
Please, be aware that colorization colors and SKY Visual Effects are not real and fake, colorization and VFX was made only for the ambiance and do not represent real historical data.

I'm sure someone out there knows which model Stanley or equivalent that is.
Thanks for posting this.

We can't step through that portal, but we can view the past through it just fine. Fascinating.
I wouldn't have thought there would've been so many cars in 1906.
Most of the people were men. Only an occasional two or three women.
The city looked OLD. How could San Francisco have been that old in 1906? It looked like it had all been there for centuries, not mere decades.

A fascinating mix of the old and new.
