No wonder they switched to making silent movies afterwards.

Someone's got the Lumière Brothers' 1896 short film Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat and used a neural network to convert it to 4k and 60 fps.

Apparently, when that film was first shown in cinemas nobody at all, contrary to popular myth, thought they were about to be run over by a train.
As a result it was bloodbath.

Footage of Moscow in 1896 that's been put through neural networks to enhance it to 60 fps with colour and image sharpening.

Funny, I tell you.
A fact that remains to this day unacknowledged.
I hate you people.

They still do that from time to time. Royal funeral rehearsals take place in the dead of night, in the winter - seemingly utilizing quiet side streets without nightbuses etc. There's nothing like being woken up by a couple of hundred mounted horses accompanying a gun carriage bearing a one tonne lead coffin to transport you back to a creepier era.

[60 fps] The Flying Train, Germany, 1902.
They must have used all the steel in Germany to build it.
