There are a lot of fantastic old movies for people to appreciate. However, the out-of-date filming technology and the black-and-white presentation make them less enjoyable. We want to make classic film works adorable again by endowing the old black-and-white version with vibrant colors, and even more interesting, parallel it with a cartoonized version. Our goal is to re-energize those old movies through deep learning techniques: Apply colorization on videos by convolutional networks, and animate it with different cartoon styles through GANs. And if possible, we’d like to try to research about temporal loss to stabilize the video outputs.

Different Render factor

Larger render factor provides more realistic coloring, but increases the computation load.
