Would Like Some Help
I posted this video the other day: http://videosift.com/video/1906-Movie-of-San-Francisco-4-Days-Before-the-Earthquake?noredirect
and came back to find that it had been determined to be a dupe. I realize there is another video on the sift which is exactly the same footage, however, the video I posted had been tracked with authentic sounds of the period rather than some filler background music.
Can this be revisited, please? Here is the attending information as to the authenticity of the sounds employed in this version:
Post Effects:
This version of the film has been digitally stabilized to remove jitter.
Resources:
Sounddogs, Youtube, Horseless.com, Wikipedia, Archive.org, Streetcar.org, earlyamericalautomobiles.com, Prelinger Archives.
Accuracy:
Automobile sounds are all either Ford Model T, or Model A, which came out later, but which have similarly designed engines, and sound quite close to the various cars show in the film. The horns are slightly inaccurate as mostly bulb horns were used at the time, but were substituted by the far more recognizable electric "oogaa" horns, which came out a couple years later. The streetcar sounds are actual San Francisco streetcars. Doppler effect was used to align the sounds.
Thank you.

chingaleraYeah man, is not a dupe because someone added to this version some authentic-sounding Foley-Whomever poopertrated the duping is a super-duper-pooper-scooper-duper-trouper.

eric3579It's best to give a shout out to @lucky760 when you have issues like this. I think the boys are busy these days and don't necessarily look at sift talk posts on a regular basis.
...and I also prefer your version of the video. The audio makes all the difference in the world imo.

BoneRemakeJust update the 9 month old one with this one, or back it up with this one. No reason to have them both when they are the same. The music is lame, the sounds are better.

Also read this fun book :

Some other sources about this dried up topic no one wants to discuss anymore :

lucky760Sorry for the delay, @silvercord. You're totally right that your post should not have been declared a dupe.
The duping has been undone.
Great video by the way.
silvercordThank you, Lucky!
