Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame has made a documentary about WWI with a difference. He was given hundreds of hours of vintage footage, and through computer magic transformed it into footage that *almost* looks like it was filmed today. Films from a hundred years ago always look jerky, the people look sped up, because the frame rate was low by later standards; in order to not flicker badly, the films were often sped up to a higher frame rate. Until recently, there just wasn’t much you could do. But it looks like Jacksons computers were able to interpolate between the frames, giving these old films smooth, clear motion. They also colorized them, which is less impressive (and from these glimpses, still a little unconvincing in places). But the “smoothed” films look pretty spectacular. I gather the film had a one-day showing in theaters; I assume it’s on to Blu Ray now.
