Funny thing is La Haine was originally shot in color. It wasn't until they started making prints that they decided to switch to B&W (on some versions the opening shot was kept intact).
>>72042512
...and after.

Goddamn this looks awful
cool!

After. all right for a thumbnail but it would need a tiny touch up if you wanted to keep resolution

It almost looks like one of those Jesus paintings you can get at the flea market.

looks like a liquid light show being projected over the film, but surprisingly decent

This one's kinda lame.

not bad. Can I now watch a movie that does this for every frame?

Ted Turner colorized some films. Find some he did that you might like.
This is pretty neat
one more for kicks.

great movie too
Why is everyone still white?
I have to say this one really impressed the hell out of me. Sorry about the poor resolution.
>>72043165
This almost makes me wish the whole movie was shot this way.
I'm impressed
>>72043193
well I'll be damned
its an interesting look if nothing else

Sorry about the size
Using the algorithm on an already vividly, expressively colorful movie still, like Suspiria (pic related), makes is less colorful.
>>72043377
Here's the before pic.
How the heck can it tell those are trees in the background and that her hair is blonde? This is crazy.
how did they EVER make a colorization of Lolita?
less scary in color
How does that even work
>>72043481
ouch, got some sunburn on her shoulder
Is there a reason it's in sepia?
>>72043543
super goofy in color!
>>72043073
She was a Goldwater girl back then.
>apply a beige hue

>>72043443
The shade of gray probably gives a clue as to what color it was originally.
>>72043590
Pretty sure black and white still records the wavelength of light, it just converts it into black or white.
It seems that older movies filmed in black and white have more effect. Modern stuff that would have been changed to it in editing doesn't seem to work as well.
Wow it can do darkies

>I just stopped myself from getting a black and white ST:TNG image
We weren't even poor is what makes it so frustrating. They only got rid of it when OTA broadcasts switched to digital.
Seems to depend on the image. I ran a couple from Citizen Kane through and some picked up the Reds whilst others didn't
It needs work desu
>>72043820
KANE?
the algorithm is dog shit :/
I guess they should spend more time and money on the coding rather than shilling
>>72043886
Yeah it's pretty bad
The prism app or whatever that came out recently was pretty impressive tho
>>72043586
Love that image you colorised with the green hue on right side.
I am so amazed how far technology has come. I can't wait for them to invent a program that makes you colorize a whole movie.
After all: they did invent a movie program where if you record audio separetly on an mp3 player and then insert underneath the raw footage: you press a button and it matches up the raw detached footage with the detached mp3 audio... NO FREAKIN JOKE!!
I have no idea how people are able to create such professional robotic programs but I very much like where our future is heading.

Seeing the green lighting is an interesting insight into the method that was used to make that film. Green lighting makes people look sickly and uncomfortable, which is obviously an important element of Eraserhead, the fact the lightning can be used to create colour scenes and then effectively masked from the audience by reducing the colours is pretty incredible to me.
and finally the greatest Doctor Who stories' surviving clips are in color!
>>72043961
>WW1 soldiers wore red uniforms
>>72043968
Are you retarded? Do you think this thing "restores" the actual colors of the image? It just vomits random colors over the image based on the contrasts
>>72043968
>>72043946
also to mention the red curtain here. I always had a feeling the curtain was originally red as afterall Lynch uses the same curtain in Lost Highway and Twin Peaks - symbolic of the nigtmarish dreamworld.
>>72044032
Sometimes it gets the color right other times it fails.
It is a gamble. But there is NO DOUBT the red curtain that this program has generated in this image is the real color
>>72043946
Like I said: Lynch has a fascination with red curtains.
>>72044033
This piece of shit algorithm just turns black and white into sepia.

Damn deep learning is doing incredible things. And its just the beginning
>>72044032
it can make an "educated" guess based on contrast
>>72044063
testing
>>72044060
I can this is a test program. Be patience. In 5 years time I believe they will generate an actual program that fully creates black and white images into pure color. It is only a matter of time.
Like I said here:
>>72043931
They already have generated a program where if you record someone speak on a camera with no audio and separably record them talk on an mp3 player - you can then put the mp3 recording under the isolated footage and it will match up the voice for you.
AMAZING

They were making colored films like this in the late 20's anyway if you are not familiar with: they simply colorized a certain scene by a particular color to symbolize the mood of the scene.

Same here: Dr. Soberin's shoes are mentioned by characters as being blue.
I'll try to colorize this, wish me luck
holy shit this program is amazing
Since it does it on a per frame basis I imagine it shouldn't be hard at all to adapt it to converting an entire movie.
Any idea how to do it?

Fun fact: did you know that nazi germany's official colors were green and black instead of red and black? Many people don't know this but they worn bright green uniforms to battle.
Looks pretty dope. Though there's already a color version where the moon is yellow, and the background is green,
>>72044240

so 25 years later? sure.

Yes but you'd have to be full autism to do it manually. Is there any way to automate it?

Production companies tried to do this to films in the 80s. Unsurprisingly they looked like dogshit, but surprisingly one of the biggest movie makers opposed to it was George Lucas.

When are they going to colorize black and white movies, but replace the leads with minorities like comics?

Obviously it looked like shit. Nowadays we have the technology to actually make it look good.

So this is a Ted Turner simulator?If you are a normie you won't take the joke, pleb scum

this shit sucks
>>72047114
What's the in the background?
>>72047018
Except that the lighting and cinematography was done in mind with the film being filmed in black and white. It'll always look like shit when you change something into something it was never supposed to look like. Colors will be off and strange for sets and props, the lighting focus will be terrible and all mood and atmosphere a lot of these movies created will be ruined.
You might as well put a grayscale filter over modern movies, it'll have the same disastrous effect.
The only reason anyone would want to colorize movies is because their ADHD stops them from looking at something without flashing color for longer than 5 minutes anyway. Why not add CGI monsters in the background and ADR some quips in while we're at it.

I think it doesn't work so well on movie still cause of lighting and stuff movies use.
Seems to work pretty good for actual photographs.

They're still doing it today, in France we have documentaries about WW I & II, Hitler, Stalin, etc. called "Apocalypse", they have nothing but colorized frames, and it looks pretty good.
This site is using the Deep learning technology, so its pretty impressive since it can only become better.
>>72046245
Lmao the AI thought the soldiers were bushes
>>72047295
To be honest I have no problem with them doing it with documentaries. Those were generally shot as close to reality as they could get it, so good colorization will get it closer to reality, which was probably the film makers' intentions.
>>72043590
Gray only shows LIGHTNESS. For all the computer knows it could literally be gray.
People who say "oh that 1.633% means baby blue" are entirely wrong, unless they have a color image to reference to
>>72047412
I dont if I was being clear, they dont colorize documentaries but old footage/photos from wars etc. Of course it works better for the WWII since you have more footage in a better quality.
Apocalypse: Verdun is on YouTube, to give you an idea

For this sort of thing the algorithm needs extra work to keep it consistent. They had the same problems when making the neural artistic style transfer stuff

>colorizing something that has a specific shade composition to work specifically well with black and white
That's like pissing on the mona lisa.
>>72048506
Well, it works in sepia because everything's washed out, but of course yeah Clerks would be too different in colour.
