This video just ended up on my Facebook book feed and I'm amazed with the process that was used to make the color and sounds come to live in this once silent B&W film

You what is cool, is how they can modernize such old films like this.   Agree, this guy is a master.

What's even more amazing is when they are talking about syncing up the speed, and how back then the speed was determined by the cameraman and how quick or slow he cranked it up.  

Way cool
