This and the other two videos are a demonstration of how good a job can be done, on restoring old film / low quality / degraded video etc....

WITH really powerful software and computers and source imagery etc., I think it can be really improved into almost life like colouring, that would make for the fourth video - as yet not made.

Make a point of reading the comments, because I came across so much unique information, through the set.

Here is the sequence of videos.

@bigintol03: If it can be played at around 60% of the original speed, that looks about right in terms of the kid on the swing and the peoples natural walking speed. 75% here, is close but it's still a bit fast.
