The World 115+ years ago - in original colors

Ever wondered how the world looked 115+ years ago? With the help of AI, we can see it in its original colors - the video below was created ENTIRELY from the original photos from over a century ago. Between 1905 and 1915, photography pioneer Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky traveled across the Russian Empire and beyond to document the life and people of the early 20th century. He created one of the earliest color photos in the world using a three-color principle technique, and most of his photos are now stored in the US Library of Congress. With advanced AI workflows at our hands, it is now possible to animate such historical documents with precision while preserving the original images. Using tools from Freepik Sedance 1.0 Pro, Magnific AI & Kling AI we managed to bring these unique stills to life!
