(AI-COLORIZED/RESTORED) THE SURRENDER NEGOTIATIONS OF GENERALFELDMARSCHALL KESSELRING

Hello AXIS,

I have something special for you today.
With the help of AI I have colorized and mostly restored the old filmmaterial of the surrender negotiations of Generalfeldmarschall Kesselring with General Maxwell Taylor in the hotel "Berchtesgadener Hof".

This historically valuable b&w footage, was filmed by a war correspondent of the 101st. Airborne Division.

Please tell me what you think of the colorization.




Stay safe during this pandemic!

Greets from Berchtesgaden,

I’m not a film expert but the colourisation looked very realistic, and an enjoyable presentation. I’m always amazed at how welcoming and friendly the senior American Ranks are to their opposite German counterparts. The press conference with Goring also comes to mind in this regard!

Very nice. How’d you make it?

Thank you!

I am using EDIUS X together with NeatVideo to get rid of filmgrain and noise, then I export it and use a powerful Linux machine with DeOldify to colorize. After that I sometimes upscale the endresult and do some more color corrections in edius.

Sorry, but the narrator's bad pronunciation makes this very difficult to watch.
