This film shows the beauty of Hawaii over 116 years ago! This is a compilation of vintage film footage by the Thomas Edison film company in 1906. Among other you can watch the relaxed life of a fishing community, everyday life on ranches, native Hawaians arriving and leaving a "Luau" party, spended views of Oahu and the town of Honolulu, including Waikiki beach, as well as great beach scenes.
The film footage has been motion-stabilized, speed-corrected, enhanced and colorized by means of Artificial Intelligence video software.
Music: Gerard Franklin.
Notes: We tried to find copyright free Hawaiian music, but failed (KZbin rejected everything we tried). So there was no other option than to use nice neutral music from contemporary composers.
And yes, everybody in this film is dead and there are no obese, fat people in this film (just to pre-empt some of the usual comments). Please make interesting, educational comments about how Hawaii was at the beginning of the last century, preferably with the mentioning of lesser known (historic) facts about these beautiful islands. That will really make the comments section enjoyable to read!
If possible, kindly also refrain from starting an inflamatory debate about how the US annexed the Hawaiian islands. Thank you.
I hope you will enjoy this film. The original B&W footage was far from being in high quality: lots of visual noise, damage and overall motion-instability. Nevertheless the A.I. has done quite a good job.
