Japanese Newsreel WW2 | Rabaul 1944 | RIFE & DeOldify

Hi! Recently found my hands-on Japanese WW2 newsreels from NHK archive (The link is below) and decided to attempt to improve the original footage. Flowframes and RIFE used to up the FPS to 80fps which gave it a more "lifelike" appearance and then rendered it through DeOldify, it didn't go as well I hoped to but regardless it looks good.

"From 1940 (Showa 15) to 1951 (Showa 26), just before the Pacific War, a newsreel called "Japan News" was produced. During the war, when there was no television, "Japan News" was released every week at the movie theater and used to raise the fighting spirit of the people. Although it is a national film aimed at completing the war, it is extremely valuable as a video record during the Pacific War."
