More Amazing Roaring 20s Footage At The Beach

[@JesusChrist-xb7jq]

It’s not just the color, it’s the way the video has been smoothed out and speed corrected. People are moving like they actually moved, instead of the sped up versions we are used to seeing in old footage. It seems to shrink the span between their day and ours. It’s almost as if this was shot yesterday and put through a “classic film” filter. They seem so much more “real”. Very well done! Thank you.

[@castirondude]

I wonder how the "sped up" footage became a thing anyway. I guess just to go from say 20fps to 30fps?

[@JesusChrist-xb7jq]

@@castirondude I think it had to do with the fact that the cameras were operated by a hand crank which coiled up the spring inside and, as the spring unwound, the camera would slow down a little. Then, when played back at “normal” speed, everything looked sped up. Not positive on that, but it’s my best guess. Growing up, my brother had a “super 8’ camera that operated on the same principle, and when we played them on a projector we got similar results.

[@BoycottHollywood]

The audio "sound effects" were also most likely created and added. Back then they didn't have the two combined.

People really took pride in how they dressed back then. And they looked pretty elegant for the most part !

[@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118]

These are mostly wealthy people though. If you were going to a beach resort or beach cafe it was expected of you to dress nicely and be neatly groomed.

[@janettemasiello5560]

@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118 Yes, you're right, it's very Gatsby-ish 💃

[@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118]

​@janettemasiello5560 I suppose the point I wanted to make was that it was not necessarily so that people took more pride in the way they dressed but that, particularly among the upper classes, there were quite strict rules and expectations about how they presented themselves. It's not the exact same as right now where a celebrity can be spotted outside wearing a worn out pair of sweat pants and a stained t-shirt. Some magazine might report on it but that's pretty much it I imagine. People have more freedom now and the expectations are less strict. That also has a lot to do with how fashion has changed over the years. I personally think 90s minimalism in fashion has had some bad effect on fashion in general.

[@JayKarpwick]

​@@briesn7004 Instead of bleating "FAKE" why not look at the notes that tell where the original films are stored?? Or are you going so say that all of those schools and film archivists are fakers too? And these old films WERE seen before social media but they weren't common. They were difficult to distribute b/c they couldn't be digitized. Plus they were all grainy b&w and not very "interesting" to most people. Hell we watched a copy of the 1896 gardener prank back in a high school history class, but it was on a reel of film because there was no other way to distribute it. What changed is that AI restoration matured only a decade or so after social media started to spread. People didn't have to be tech geniuses or have a PhD in electronics to upgrade and colorize old films. Instead of sending individual copies to schools and exhibits one person could show their work to millions of people. Read some history, it's fascinating stuff and won't hurt your head.

Consider things like polio, war, lack of insulation in houses, safety issues with electrical appliances, how much worse health care was (even if you had money), etc. The list goes on and on. If you love the style of the 1920s, then please by all means dress yourself in it and decorate your home like that.
