【AI Colorized】1958 Henan Opera, ‘The Commander-in-Chief Mu Guiying’

Hey everyone! This is DGSpitzer
This time I colorized one of the most famous traditional Henan Opera ‘The Commander-in-Chief Mu Guiying’

Mu Guiying (穆桂英) is a legendary heroine from ancient China’s Northern Song Dynasty and a prominent figure in the Generals of the Yang Family legends. As a female general, she is the wife of Yang Zongbao and mother of Yang Wenguang. Brave, resolute and loyal, Mu is the cultural symbol of a steadfast and self-reliant woman.

I received a lot of request of making this restoration
Therefore I keep exploring what the best way is to precisely colorzied opera footage, especially for the details of traditional costume
So here is the result. I used RIFE，Deep-Exemplar-based-Video-Colorization and several other AI projects
Combined with hand-drawing techniques, colorized this video
Special thanks to @VIVY HAS A DREAM for helping me: https://www.youtube.com/user/ViviannaYan
