Thanks man. I was on another forum and a guy posted the documentary in the history section only it was blocked in the US so I put the title in to youtube and this came up. Checked the thing for every piece of Dempsey I could find lol.
You sure they didn't use a modern fight, and faked it as a Dempsey fight? [url]https://streamable.com/0sduj[/url] Whats with all the combos and head movement?
This is what makes the information age so special. Just when you think you seen everything, a gem like this drops. There is always something more to look forward to over the horizon.
Colour does make a huge difference, I agree. That and not watching clips that look like they're in fast forward. But I enjoyed that and I confess my appreciation of the old timers is not the same as Dago's or Reznick's. Couldn't get the documentary from the link so will have a gander. Thanks for sharing that find. That boy Dempsey looks like he could have been quite a star if he'd only had a bit of charisma.
Watching short excerpts like this in color, I wonder how much would not be spectacular watching the first round of Dempsey vs. Willard colorized !.....
I looked into the company that does the Colorizing work. Apparently this is going to be a 6 part series, with 6 different decades. The 30's episode will most definitely have Louis in color. They said it took them 9 months to make this episode, so it could be a while.
Yeah man, I wish they did that one too. I can tell it's the most difficult one to colorize, but I was honestly impressed with their work on the Firpo footage, and all the footage. It's very well done. Imagine a team like this dedicated to boxing.
Indeed. The big problem with this, and Klompton alluded to this some time, is that the speed varies dramatically. When I colorized footage myself, I noticed that even with the highest quality Joe Louis footage, sometimes it takes 4 frames for the image to proceed, and sometimes it takes only 1. And it varies at a crazy rate. If there was a team like the one that worked on this documentary, dedicated solely to boxing footage restoration, they could do wonders. My restoration attempts are little league compared to these guys.
