Please move if in wrong place please KD.

Saw this on this twitter feed just now. Its another one of those restored 'old' videos which has been colourised.

What struck me, is this could be anywhere, London, New York, Paris, St Petersburg, anywhere! The people could be any who!


Like all of these restored videos, they look fake, perhaps due to over editing, or perhaps due to intended manipulation.

Anyway, just thought I would share, here is the WIKI page

edit: Man passing close to camera who looks, has a face mask? Pollution or Covid in Moscow 1896 ;)

The video looks like it was run through a filter.

Given the level of deep fake tech, this could all have been peiced together on some kids PC very recently.

What struck me is, these late 1800's early 1900's, whatever country, the dress, decor, roads, street lamps, carts, vehicles etc are similar, despite them suposedly being from vastly different places/ cultures.

Yeah, as usual, the background buildings look off somehow. Like they aren't fully three dimensional. The flags waving are a nice touch though. Though the one in the center frame, furthest back... is is supposed to be a part of the furthest building? Seems like it'd be huge if that's the case.

I wish it wasn't colorized.

Edit: I thought this guy near the end just had a beard at first, but now I sort of think it's another mask:

The waving flag theme also worked on the moon landing images - sticking to what works?

More and more I have come to understand that we are playing a chess game against an advanced intelligence.

Thanks for that! The background still doesn't look any better. Hard to put my finger on it, similar to the uncanny valley effect. Or I'm just looking too hard.
