this rare photography collection was retouched by traditional methods without AI. The video was created with AI using two photographic stills, first and last position WITH ai fillING in the frames in between.
it gives a glimpse into the past. colored photographs were rare, many black & white exist from that time. ai does have issues and can only do what it knows at the moment. the future of ai will end up being mostly flawless and allow us to see more into the past as well as the future.
