A photograph from 1900 takes a breath, and the street starts moving.

The brief

A public-domain photograph of Mulberry Street, New York, from the Library of Congress: bring it into color and motion without losing the original frame.

The craft

  1. 01The untouched scan is the first frame, so the film starts exactly as the photograph and the change happens in front of you.
  2. 02Color and movement arrive together: brick, shutters, wool coats, a horse and cart, laundry on the lines.
  3. 03Street sound and a quiet piano so it plays as a scene, not an effect.
