Coney Island New York 1940's in Color with music
Video/Film Restoration Efforts:
* Originally shot on Film
* Converted to video
* Converted to 60 frames per second
* Colorized using computer software
* Sound added for effect only
* Color correction stabilization performed
* Historical data added just for nostalgia
Software Used
I use a variety of editing software from Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere, Avid to Edius. It depends on the project.
Be aware that video restoration efforts are not always accurate. Colorization of video/film is complex. Artificial Intelligence Tools (AI) or computer software is only as good as the algorithms designed to understand the colors. Colorization is ambiguous since we are trying to go from grayscale to a 3-D signal created around mixtures of red, green and blue. So while it may not be perfectly and historically accurate, it has come a long way over the years. So try and enjoy the efforts to colorize the past as best as we can.

My Mom was there as a very young teenager. She was on the beach with girlfriends and my Dad came walking by from military leave. 6'2 lean and a big a man with jet black hair. They struck up a conversation and that led to 50 years of marriage till he passed. They had a wonderful life together.

We had Ponchartrain Beach in New Orleans on the south shore of Lake Ponchartrain. It had an amusement park, beach, pools, bathhouses, overhead cable cars, food, and once had a baby elephant wandering around. It closed in 1983.

Great seeing these videos. I grew up in N. Jersey in the '50s and '60s and remember my parents telling me that's where they would go on their "special occasion" dates. To them it cost some serious money to get from Jersey to Coney Island. They took me there as an infant and toddler but, I can't say I actually remember any of it. We'd spend most of our vacations at the Jersey shore by the time myself and my sister were around. Thanks for the memories though!

Later, we became regulars at Astroland. I'd heard of the long-ago Dreamland and Luna Park, of course, and I later knew of Nellie Bly Park (renamed a few years ago), but I never saw color footage of Luna. Thanks for posting this!

"Coney Island whitefish" is slang for a used condom (left on the beach or more usually under the boardwalk).

The musical sound-track is Dixieland; a music of the 1920s rather than the 1940s.. All those rides you see, I rode them all as a child and no one worried about you. Those amusement rides were 2 decades old by the 1940s.. They were still available up until the 1950s. You think politicians are repressing your freedom? Insurance companies have repressed and destroyed more freedoms and amusements than any politician in the U.S.A. Those tigers performing were still doing their jobs until PETA killed circuses. I used to go see Clyde Beatty do his lion tamer acts every summer. Take note, all the clothes then were wool, linen. silk. and cotton. Shoes were leather and only leather. No crying about too much sun, no A/C and note that no one was sopping wet on a NYC summer day. No one was inert. You had to go out for your amusement except for radio, Colorization has made the B&W films cause us to more identify with our past citizens. THKS to the work of the people who did this video.

Back then there was a dreaded fear of contracting polio from such beaches. NYC used to dump their trash from barges off shore from Coney Island. I recall my mother's fear of letting me swim at the beach when it was reported that some medical waste was discovered on Coney's beach. Presumably, the waste came from the dumping sites, washed in by the prevailing tides.
