[4k, 60fps, colorized] (1930s) U.S. Dust Bowl.

The Dust Bowl was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s; severe drought and a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent the aeolian processes (wind erosion) caused the phenomenon. The drought came in three waves, 1934, 1936, and 1939–1940, but some regions of the High Plains experienced drought conditions for as many as eight years. Music: Edvard Grieg, Ase’s death. Classic films and historical footage as never seen before. New editions, restored, colorized and enhanced using traditional editing techniques complemented by the most recent advances in artificial intelligence applied to video and sound processing, including: Footage edition. Motion stabilization if needed. Analysis and reduction of noise and artifacts of the initial footage. AI FPS interpolation: realistic recreation of intermediate frames by AI algorithms, from 15 - 25 fps, depending on the initial footage, up to 50 or 60 fps, achieving a great feeling of realism. AI assisted upscaling: up to 4k, in several iterations, dramatically improving original detail. AI assisted colorization: also in several iterations. Manual color and levels grading and correction. Adding soundtrack. Videos will necessarily be brief since each minute of final result involves approximately 5 hours of manual treatment and 10 hours of heavy gpu computer processing.
