1935 Early Color Footage of Tokyo (color remaster w, added sound)
The earliest color footage of Tokyo from James A. FitzPatrick s traveling Traveltalk series. Technicolor was brand new at this point in time. The original reel has dated commentary so I decided to add an ambient soundtrack instead for immersion. The reel is very faded with overwhelming red hue so I ve heavily boosted the brightness and rebalanced the colors for every shot. This was shot in early threestrip technicolor so the system isn t perfected yet but it s so beautiful. Music for the interior section is 1933 Japanese records, Yume wa Mijikashi and Kamome Kanashiya
