Ecstasy (1933) - Restored B&W and in Color

jeswan · #1 08-28-2023, 08:38 AM

As an experiment and for learning, I restored the scene in Ecstasy (1933) where Hedy Lamarr runs after her horse naked. Cleaned up all the frames to HD, removing scratches, tears and burns. The color automation was done through an AI with tweaks by me each camera angle change. It's okay, certainly better during the parts out of the water but does go a little crazy at times, probably due to the AI seeing smudges and thinking it needs to color them.

Attached is the B&W version restored to HD and the color experiment version. Enjoy!
