Believe it or not back in the day when it was filmed ..There was no fuzziness, The quality of black and white film back then was comparable to the quality pf analog black and white today, The fuzziness is because the nitrate base they used for film stock Was extremely flammable (being essentially the same chemically as guncotton) and decomposed after several decades into a no less flammable gas (leaving the film sticky and goo-like) and ultimately turned into dust .
Thats why the 20s colorized special showed very few Dempsey clips
Because very little footage filmed then has retained its original resolution and clarity for good colorization today,, I have only posted less then 10 percent of the fights i have colorized due to the quality not being good enough imho...
Because you guys are Boxing fans like me and regardless of disagreements between us you guys deserve the best.
In my pursuit to providing good quality colorization to eagerly share with you guys
I have tried downloading say a !0 MB Download thats maybe 360p low resolution. Then i will convert it to Hi Definition 10 MB is now 100 MB, Trying to improve the original film
Still its fuzzy, Its like its Hard Coded in its a tough nut to crack.. The colorization process splits the video into individual still shots Maybe 20 pictures every second of film
Colors each individual frame using trained models based upon neural networks THANK YOU ALL FOR THE KIND WORDS
