Iain Petrie | Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars.1938. Ep 10. "Incense of Forgetfulness." AI enhanced. Colourised version @IKP1000 | Uploaded October 2022 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
"Thongor Barbarian" has been involved in a project to clean up digitally the 1930's series of Flash Gordon featuring Buster Crabbe, and has kindly made this episode "Incense of Forgetfulness" from the 1938 series "Flash Gordon's Trip to Mars" available so that I could experiment with some further enhancement attempts using Topaz Video AI. The results are very encouraging, IMO, and I'm hoping we can collaborate on other episodes. There's a slight "cartoon" effect noticeable in parts, possibly because the original upload was compressed by YouTube so the AI had to "work harder" to get a sharp result. Colourised with DeOldify and further adjustments in PowerDirector 365. I've also uploaded the B&W enhanced version and you can see it here: youtu.be/V0pxEwDe9Ek
