Bluto would have made a great president!

Love all your work! And sharing it.

But... why not make the spinach green...?

;)

Was half my excitement watching, waiting to see the colored spinach. Lol.

It's actually totally beyond my control.

The AI decides what to color and when.

I can only influence things like saturation, brightness, hue, skin-tone, white-balance, black-level- and then, only for the film, overall - certainly not at the frame or object level...

To color the spinach by hand and make it green, I would need to hand-edit all the frames showing spinach in photoshop....For this film... I might try that some time, it would be extremely time consuming as I would have to disassemble the final film again into its 9000 frames to get access...Then reassemble it..

To that end, I really try to get the skin-tone and white balance right first, as it's really jarring if that isn't correct.

Everything else follows that....

Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

The colorization AI is open-source software: DeOldify...

The initial output from DeOldify for these low resolution cartoons has only a very faint tint of color - I spend 12 hours to get the skin tone and white balance to what you see here before I publish the feature...

In post production, AFTER colorization,
I had to give this film 12 consecutive treatments before I got the skin-tone to the point where I felt it was ready...

That would be funny!

Thank you for your efforts! It does take a lot of work to edit and process video.

you're welcome!

I do love my work and I try to hold my self to a high standard...
