Cincinnati 1930s in color [60fps,Remastered] w/sound design added

[@brianneveu6953]

There is one thing that I find so fascinating when watching these old film reels. To the people in these films they are alive and living in that time period, just going about their daily lives. To us watching they are all dead now. Just weird to think about..

[@michaelbutler2312]

and probably did not lead full lives due to smoking!

@ 3:11 you can see a toddler in his mother's arms. It is quite possible that this child is still alive ;-)

100 years from now that will be us. Someone will have the same thought, except they will have HD/4k videos of us to see, and they will imagine "all these people, just living their lives in the moment, and now they are all dead". And so it goes on!

Amazing to see all these people going about their day and running their businesses. Even coming out to say hello to the camera!

Fantastic job on this one. The colorization was excellent. I love how everybody is so well dressed. One suggestion for future films and added sound. Car horns before the 1950s sounded quite different from modern horns.

In 1930 only about half the homes in the United States had electricity

[@leofedorov1030]

Where do you get your info? By 1930, 90% of urban homes had access to electricity. The percentage was lower in rural areas, but not by much. Farm homes were the only ones that still lagged behind significantly at that time.

[@The1313jeff]

For some reason, I really enjoy the old American videos the best. I think I have seen so many World War II videos that it is hard to get excited when you show the old European ones!I find them hard to watch! Let's just hope you don't run out of American material any time soon.

Wonderful job NASS. The color is spot on. Just an ordinary day that turned extraordinary for these folks. A rare thing indeed to be filmed in 1934. I wonder if they ever got to see themselves in this home movie? In there wildest dreams would they have thought they would be seen by folks 90 years later. Definitely a time capsule.....

Black culture was literally destroyed after the Johnson admin allowed civil rights and welfare in exchange for the black vote. To get welfare there had to be NO MALE HEAD of HOUSEHOLD. That removed the father from the home and it literally and systematically destroyed the black family structure which lead to the current foulness filth and crime.

Many people comment and call this film a video. It was made as a film, probably 8mm, possibly 16. Film and video are NOT the same. Film is a series of individual picture transparencies where as video is an electronic medium for recording on tape. They are NOT interchangeable. Film is viewed using a projector. Video is viewed using a tape player hooked up to a monitor.
