I have tons of old footage that I love from my first days as a filmmaker, when I traveled the world and shot a short documentary every single week about a fascinating or inspirational person. But so much of this footage was shot in HD (or less) on the Canon 60D and 5D and just doesn't hold up compared to the footage that cameras can capture today.

But Topaz Labs has a software called VIDEO AI that claims to be able to resurrect this old footage, bring it back from the dead, and make it indiscernible from the high-resolution cameras of 2023 and beyond.

Today, we take some old footage and test out whether Topaz can live up to the promise and actually bring footage back form the dead!
