Lots of new ai models to play around... I had a new source to work with that was in a much more decent quality so I processed it in topaz's using "Iris" a new model designed to improve faces, especially in close ups, I know it's not perfect but it really adds details and it looks waaay better than it did in my first attempt. Hope you enjoy it!

Sing with me:
You made me cry when you said goodbye
Ain't that a shame
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame
You're the one to blame
You broke my heart when you said we'll part
Ain't that a shame
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame
You're the one to blame
Oh well goodbye
Although I'll cry
Ain't that a shame
My tears fell like rain
Ain't that a shame
You're the one to blame
(Ain't that a shame)
You're the one to blame

BRITISH PATHÉ'S STORY
Before television, people came to movie theatres to watch the news. British Pathé was at the forefront of cinematic journalism, blending information with entertainment to popular effect. Over the course of a century, it documented everything from major armed conflicts and seismic political crises to the curious hobbies and eccentric lives of ordinary people. If it happened, British Pathé filmed it.
Now considered to be the finest newsreel archive in the world, British Pathé is a treasure trove of 85,000 films unrivalled in their historical and cultural significance.
British Pathé also represents the Reuters historical collection, which includes more than 136,000 items from the news agencies Gaumont Graphic (1910-1932), Empire News Bulletin (1926-1930), British Paramount (1931-1957), and Gaumont British (1934-1959), as well as Visnews content from 1957 to the end of 1984. All footage can be viewed on the British Pathé website. britishpathe.com

Kip Lornell, a Leadbelly expert, thinks this is almost certainly footage from March/April 1935, shot in Wilton, CT. --- probably at the home of friends of the Lomaxes. He wasn't sure if he'd ever seen footage from this event (Martha Promise Ledbetter joining Huddie in NYC), but I have seen stills. He confirmed that, this was before he recorded for ARC, though he had previously recorded for the Library of Congress. Its also well before he recorded anything for Moe Asch, which is now Smithsonian Folkways material. They made this film for the Library of Congress.For more information: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_Belly

I took this video from the Library of Congress website, (for educational purposes only), as I wanted to restore using AI software. Here's what the Library of Congress says about the rights on their website:
"The Library of Congress is not aware of any U.S. copyright or other restrictions in the vast majority of motion pictures in these collections. Absent any such restrictions, these materials are free to use and reuse."
For some reason youtube keeps telling me that someone owns the rights to that and my video will be restricted. I was amazed to see that someone is selling those clips (not cheap) as stock footage, nobody should be making profit on a video that's free and downloadable for everyone in the world. Thanks to the Library Of Congress.
Here's the link where you can find the full scene before restoration:
