Leeds Lifeboat Procession 1902. AI Enhanced. Noise Removed, Sharpened, Stabilised, 1080 HD

Incredibly busy with a large crowd turning out for this lifeboat fundraiser.
Look out for Johnny Depp on the first carriage. :D Can you spot the live bear in the middle of all the chaos? Yes there's a bear!
Held on 5th July 1902, running from Leeds City centre to Roundhay Park. Mitchell & Kenyon, the film makers, utilised a number of cameras and used 16 rolls of film.
It's estimated that there were 600 collectors on the streets during the day. You can also see the men riding in the lifeboats using bags on the end of bamboo sticks as collection bags.
The film was created as a commission for RS Smethhurst a man that travelled with his film shows in the 1900's.
The film has been stabilised, noise removed, details recovered, sharpened, a sound track added and finally upscaled to 1080 HD.
✔ Tone balanced, dark sections made lighter/light sections made darker.
✔ AI settings testing, optimised for the best upscale.
✔ Original film dissected for multi part AI processing.
✔ Stabilised.
✔ Flicker reduced.
✔ Scratches, blemishes and other damage removed.
✔ Image noise removed.
✔ Image details recovered.
✔ Digital/jpg artefacts removed.
✔ Film sharpened.
✔ Upscaled to HD.
If you would like to suggest a film for the AI treatment please leave a comment with the details.
