- I colorized, restored and created a sound design for this video of Chicago 1930s, even more than New York, the American city par excellence: exponential development linked to the development of exceptional resources, all-out innovations, particularly in architectural matters, a very diverse population of origin and social relations.
In 1930s Chicago’s population reached 3 million.
Video Restoration Process:
✔ FPS boosted to 60 frames per second
✔ Image resolution boosted up to HD
✔ Improved video sharpness and brightness
✔ Colorized only for the ambiance
✔added sound only for the ambiance
✔restoration:(stabilisation,denoise,deblur)
Please, be aware that colorization colors are not real and fake, colorization was made only for the ambiance and do not represent real historical data.

Amazing footage and restoration. Really feels like you're there. I suppose the next step would be virtual reality headsets with this quality of video!
Thxx! ;)
No, why do you need that. So I can experience the best days of my life by using the very thing I scorn and look down at
I really like your thinking!!

@@NASS_0 Anytime!
My father born in Greece 1894, arrived in Chicago 1921. Fascinating to get a glimpse of the world he lived in. RIP Athanase.
How old are you??
@@bossshrek1241 98?
@@srirampatnaik9164 how do you know?
@@bossshrek1241 Some assumptions and some calculations 😉
@@bossshrek1241 he probably meant grandfather
This is as close to time-travel as we are likely to get. One almost feels as if one can walk into the scenery here.
We have tons of films and documentaries set during the 30's....this is nothing new...😂
It like we are in Hollywood, but in real life.
@@Anth230 shut up
@@joshuatorres9232 nope...😀
lupe so true pro.
I have never seen vintage footage of Chicago at night. And your enhancements really make it all so vivid. Great job!
Those illuminated signs are fantastic! SO much nicer than their cold, modern day flat screen LED replacements... the old neon signs definitely had a magic about them.
It's wild how the higher frame rate of these old clips makes them appear more 'modern' and brings them to life. So cool!!
Near the end, there is an advertisement to take the train to the San Francisco world Fair, which confirms that this is in 1939
Thank you for posting this! It's fascinating!
This is absolutely incredible. Other than the cars and some signage, you would have no idea it was almost a century ago.
it was about 80 yrs ago
@@GUITARTIME2024 its 1930s, so about 90 years, no?
Im from chicago,still travel there every year. This is a treat to see😍
In 1953 our neighbor took us kids for an evening ride downtown to see the Buckingham fountain. On Lake Shore Drive from the South, the prominent object in the skyline was the sweep of the beacon on the Palmolive Building, its searchlight moving across the night sky across the lake.
They had to stop the beacon because of all the taller buildings in the area.
The Wrigley Building is/was magnificent.
@@jaldav indeed, time passing only ruins things that were ingenious more and more. Go take a gander at the comments on the videos of the 1893 world fair saying it is "not possible, even with 'todays' technology." This nonesense makes me absolutely livid.
I can imagine that too, a few years back they turned the light back on. I don’t know if it sweeps like it use to with the John Hancock behind it. Thanks for that memory.
Seems to be 1939, at 1:32 you see The Gorilla staring the Ritz Brothers, this was released 26 May 1939. Also the large Balaban & Katz banner states 22 years leadership, The Chicago-based Balaban & Katz theatre chain was formed in 1916 so banner went up in 1938. Starting at 2:45 right side a marquee ad show trains for the San Francisco Worlds Fair which opened from February 18, 1939, through October 29, 1939
Its an odd feeling for me. My Mom, who was born in Chicago in 1916 would have been 23 during the time of this video in the prime of her life. I miss her so much.
Wow-such excellent work for this restoration; only wish coulda been little longer-BEST🙂
You did an awesome job my friend , thanks a lot. I was born in the seventies in Holland and always loved 70's and 80's america.
I’ve said this for so long and people look at me like I have 3 heads. YT is a virtual time machine. To a person from the 1800’s, to see us pulling this up on a phone or iPad and “go back” to see what it was like must be life changing. We take it for granted because we grew up with this tech. But to other eras, this is legit magic to them.
Certain aspects (fancy electrical lighting for ads, for instance) are more modern than many think during the thirties
Shop window displays are amazing
1:11 that shoe building looks so modern it looks like it doesn’t belongs there 🧐
I was thinking the same thing!
Art deco was popular back then, it had some modern aspects definitely
This is terrific! All those neon signs, simply gorgeous. I'd love to see more of Chicago from the 1930s and 1940s. Thanks!
Or at its largest in the 1950's
Funny how so many of these are showing up on YT these days, where have they been all these years?
From OpenAI and other neuronets.
@@heyyou3133 Ai are pointless and have a hobby in undermining times before it; that is why they guess at colors and dim out a good time period, rendering it to feeling like a weak amount of the wonder it had, which was far more natural and normal in black and white and you could see the sorrounding area. Don't thank Ai, thank the gentleman or madam that filmed this.
@@artdecotimes2942 that's not AIs fault, that's whoever made they AIs issue to deal with and improve. AI is only the reflection of the creators knowledge.
@@DaLatinKnight that is why they are pointless, there's no life to what they fix, same as car making robot arms in 2021.
This was the era of my grandparents' youth. Thank you for this! It feels almost like I was there with them.💞
Great job restoring and colorizing. When I was a child my mother used to take me to Marshall Fields during the Christmas season. I remember the escalators. That was in the 60's. Had a great childhood home in Morgan Park....built in 1883. My dad renovated it. Had a back staircase for the hired help back then. The attached garage in the backyard was very tall to accommodate the horse drawn carriages. The homes were spaced far apart...but then small modern homes were built in between the original homes starting in the late 40's. Loved the childhood home, I was lucky with that for sure!
🙏
My God, the elegance!
God loves you
Love this one. Especially the guy walking at 34 seconds in. Like entering into an old Noir film. But with amazing detail. Really cool work!
We moved from Boston to western suburbs of Chicago in 1963. Dad worked for an insurance company down on LaSalle St. He commuted via the old CB&Q everyday and walked from train station into the financial district; snow, rain, or shine. He took me to Wrigley Field many times - loved the Cubs - even on B&W WGN TV. Listened to WLS am radio.
I remember the Big Snow of ‘67, Brookfield Zoo, Adler planetarium, Science & Industry Museum, and the Art Museum on Michigan Ave.
A city with big shoulders.
I have to play Mafia 1 after this :-D
"Chicago, Chicago that toddl'n town. Chicago, Chicago I'll show you around...." Sinatra days.
Absolutely incredible.
Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart for not putting a watermark over this footage.
Subbed
When I was about five I fell out the back of my parents old car that had a running board. The running board saved my life for it broke my fall and gave my dad enough time to slow down before I fell off. Which I did. Then got up and waited on the sidewalk for them to come back and get me.
Wow Fantastic videos! Thanks so much for posting
This is just amazing!
Fantastic! It feels like it was shot today, but set in the 1930s. Great job.
This is an amazing job!!!!
Great job putting this all together.👍👍😎
NASS you are a genius! We were used to lower quality old black and white footages which to some extent were a barrier with the past. But thanks to your talent and your magic the past becomes the present. And I must admit it's a very weird feeling. Because the people we are watching are no longer of this world. And yet they seem very much alive.
you are my favorite channel on youtube. amazing work
Looks amazing! Thanks for the effort.
Wow...! NASS does it yet again. Never had been to Chicago before, until now! Thank you.😍
Thank you NASS. Now when I look at high quality, I’ve feel like I could easily see what exactly looks like instead of saying look like a quarter of an art.
God bless all those guys who filmed the streets, the sidewalks, the highways, people and cars, for nothing, for the plaisure, for them, and for us today... And thanks to you NASS for giving us the opportunity of seeing those gems.
Present needs past.
thank you so much!
Excellent work!
Wowee! That is really cool. The song Chicago Illinois, from the movie Victor Victoria came to mind when I saw this video! Lol. Very atmospheric. Liked and shared. :-)
In the early to mid-1990s, I was a floating salesman at that very store- which meant I could be on any one of the 14 floors helping a department on any given day. I also played Santa Bear (I was a theatre kid). That iconic location wouldn't be a Marshal Field's for much longer. I'm proud to have been a part of this company which wasn't just a name. I once quoted the founder to a customer after I overheard a snobby sales-person denying a woman a couple of extra gift boxes she kindly asked for. I said, "Marshal Field's himself said 'Give the lady what she wants!' I'll get some from the back room for you."
Video looks like it was shot by a time traveler with an iPhone.
x))
S21😉
why particularly that brand of phone?
Woah! Michigan Street looked way more cooler back then in my opinion. If they were to bring back the big light up sign like how it was in the beginning video. It would look twice as nice!
This is great thank you!
I love Chicago.I visit there in 2008.Amazing city.
U will hate it now
I live here, it's awful.
@@lucifer2b666 sad story same here
Pure excellence!! Thank you!
Great restoration!!
Awesome footage. I love it.
Amazing footage! Through a time portal!
Honestly...Joey B Toons showed me your channel...now Im hooked and sub'd instantly.
This looks like a never released Bioshock DLC.
Keep up the stellar work
0:51 Balaban&Katz 1st successful air conditioning inside a movie theater. Movie theatres use to be a seasonal thing. Not so popular during the hot summers. Chicago was the 1st to perfect it inside movie theaters by pulling cold air from the chicago tunnels,and supplying it into vents.
Dude you added the Background Noise!!
Unbelievable .. what a quality .. greetings from Poland !
Love this video! The 30's cars are beautiful but those Checker cabs are hideous. Thanks for posting. Your production values are highly professional.
thank you so much
;)
Feels like Chicago look and feel changed a lot, bunch of big bright lights back then.
Great work guy.
à 3:06, sur la marquise du cinéma le film "the gorilla" sortie en mai 1939.
Was that King Kong?
ur so talented. :)
This is amazing.
The C&NW/UP sign at the end is advertising for the World's Fair in San Francisco. That puts the film between 1939 & 1940.
this is beautiful
They must've felt pretty "modern" with all the blinking neon signs and motorized cars buzzing through! It actually feels like today or at least it feels no different than today! Amazing time capsule, TY!!!
You drive down the highway today and there’s far fewer lights and less color than there was in those days, it was just more lively and exciting. I mean, those streetcars are just amazing.
Almost 100 yrs ago. Amazing...!
i feel something i've never felt before
This is awesome
Many thanks for the amazing video 🙏 What about Detroit in the same time?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥crazy and beautiful
Omg!!! How do that? So awesome!!
One of those cars must be Al Capone’s.
Incredible!
Plot twist! NASS goes back in time. Can't bring anything with him, but can bring things back. Records this footage, brings it back to the present, remasters it and uploads it for us all to see. Thanks for all your hard work!
How do you obtain these films? I frequented North Michigan Ave. , Wrigley Bldg. and the Water Tower when I lived there in the 70s and 80s so I appreciated the perspective.
We need some light Jazz to this
The Sting. That movie really nailed it in every way.
lt was more of an artistic neon world then, and at the time the future seemed so much brighter.
WWII was about to begin
Absolutely beautiful.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Al Capone is doing well for himself right about now.
Wow can’t believe this is the 1930s with all the blinking lights
Thanks that’s so cool watching it and those cars wow! Thought I saw Jimmy Cagney with a hand gun!! Lol.
Interesting to see many people walking about at 9:15 pm. People who felt safe.
In a million years I didn’t imagine scrolling lighted text signs were a thing in the 1930’s.
Great style in those days 👍
I looked up the Ritz Brothers “The Gorilla” and learned that it was released in 1939.
1:18 That's Marshall Field's/Macy's
We need all cars to have classy horns again.
Flashback in the 30's
unbelievable, amazing, I would have liked to live in that period 🙂
Making a living wasn’t easy but I’m sure you’d enjoy fresh cigars, beers and a trip at the Brothel house
@@Booze129 I don't have vices like that, I would have liked to see what the world was like at that time, I do not drink or smoke
@@AndreiChrisso damn what would you do then? No video games, movie industry was barely getting started. I guess you can play sports?
@@Xcyper33 I mean, I'd like to see what it's like, not live the whole time, except for a short time
Wow!!!
I didn’t realize they have electronic scrolling signs back them
It's called a Motograph. Really nothing different than today, they work in the same fashion.
Biased yet still staggering enough to point out how distinguishable the vibe is of this city.
I would love to find something on video of wrigley building under construction 👍
It looks so actual
0:10 - 0:30, does anyone know what street that is? The building is pretty obviously the Merchandise Mart. Is it Milwaukee Ave, looking southeast?
0:54 “THE GORILLA” LMFAO 🤣
The “Untouchables”!!
Great film hope that was the Windows outside of Marshall Fields and maybe that was my grandfather driving the streetcar in one shot
