Description: Time travel back 120 years to the young women of Westinghouse Electric in Pennsylvania. AI enhanced silent black & white footage, now in ultra HD color with sound. These girls spent a long day at work, manually winding coils, presumably for electric cables. A rare glimpse into another time using deep learning techniques. When we think of 1900s women, many of us think of the Gibson Girl pen-and-ink illustrations.The girls in this film with their pompadour hairstyles and Edwardian era fashions represent the 'ideal woman' of the 1900s. Landing a job at Westinghouse Electric was probably considered a lucky career break for most working class women. AI Restoration Process 1. Cleaned noise artifacts 2. Increased frame interpolation from 15 fps to 60 fps. 3. Increased resolution from 540p to 4000p. 4. Applied color using Deoldify ( Jason Antic), “Deep Exemplar-based Video Colorization” and Photoshop. 5. Created ambient soundtrack for an immersive experience.
