Driving from LA to Las Vegas 1950s in COLOR w/Sound

A nice drive from LA to Las Vegas around 1957. A great view of the road, the mountains and some small towns along the way. And of course arriving in Las Vegas at night along with some day shots.

Video/Film Restoration Efforts:
Originally shot on Film
Converted to video
Converted to 60 frames per second
Colorized using computer software
Sound added for effect only
Color correction stabilization performed
Historical data added just for nostalgia

Software Used
I use a variety of editing software from Final Cut Pro X, Adobe Premiere, Avid to Edius. It depends on the project.

Be aware that video restoration efforts are not always accurate. Colorization of video/film is complex. Artificial Intelligence Tools (AI) or computer software is only as good as the algorithms designed to understand the colors. Colorization is ambiguous since we are trying to go from grayscale to a 3-D signal created around mixtures of red, green and blue. So while it may not be perfectly and historically accurate, it has come a long way over the years. So try and enjoy the efforts to colorize the past as best as we can.
