The Open Road, A motor car trip from Cornwall via Wales and Scotland to London in 1926 (in colour!)
This is one of the earliest artifically coloured films (1926). It was produced by Claude Friese Green, who can be seen at the end of this film with his puppy dog. He travels from Lands End in the far South-West to John ’O Groats in Scotland in the far North and then back to London.
This is one of the first colorized films ever to be made. It was colorized by means of three separate filtering processes for the colors Red, Green and Blue. The results are truly amazing.
The route goes from Lands End via Mount, Plymouth, Torquay, Dawlish, Wells, Bath, Chepstow, Cardiff, Wales, Blackpool, Windermere, Lake District, Glasgow, Loch Lomond, Stirling, to John ’O Groats and back to London.
The original video has been motion-stabilized, enhanced, contrast and brightness corrected, upscaled to full HD (1080p) and sharpened, using special software.
Most of the explanatory texts have been removed for reasons of continuous enjoyment of these interesting historic images.
