ebrke Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 (edited) That's amazingly good quality video--was it enhanced/cleaned up in some way? I didn't even realize that it was possible to film in color in 1900. Edited December 29, 2015 by ebrke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
