Glamourdaze.com brings the past back to life. I take early fragments of silent 16fps footage and restore them to life by a combination of manual frame by frame colorization as well as the use of deep exemplar-based video colorization techniques. The footage is upscaled and the frames interpolated to a higher frame rate ( in most cases 60 frames per second.) Finally I produce a soundtrack which helps build a new immersive experience for the viewer. The intent is to create a time travel experience. Glamourdaze is also a vintage fashion blog with vintage and modern retro beauty tutorials.

There weren't video recorders in the 1890s, but they did have FILM cameras. They're very different technologies even though a lot of people conflate them. The first movie camera was built in 1888 by Louis Le Prince. The tech developed rapidly and by the mid-1890s photographers were taking vlog-type movies and making short, scripted films. Electronic video came from the work of several inventors, in particular Vladimir Zworykin and J. L. Baird. Baird invented the first electronic camera in 1925 but it wasn't adapted for recording until the 1950s. Search engines are your friends.
Correct - sound on film wasn't practical until the late 1920s. The post's notes explain that the soundtrack was added later and was specially composed to match the scenes.
I love the style so much I'm recreating it in my own waredrobe bit by bit. I'm probably the only girl in my community that dresses like this, but I see it as a form of rebellion to the main fashions, much like these women were doing with the fashion before this.
What are you going on about? It's clearly NYC, and if you knew more than a nanogram about history you'd be aware that back then, a lot of upper-class types liked to emulate what they'd seen in Europe.
