About AI Upscales (Patreon)

While I continue work on a major new video that I think is my favourite ever, I take a bit of time out to play with AI Upscales from time to time. An oft-requested one is the best commercial of all time - Keeping Up With The Commodore.

But the thing about these upscales is, poor quality in, poor quality out. The Björk one worked so well because the original was of satisfactory quality. Not great, but not awful. However the original available on YouTube for Keeping Up is really bad quality. Highly compressed, blurry, almost impossible to work with.

I have done an upscale and compression reversion, but I'm sharing it only with you guys here. If I posted it publicly I suspect I'd get a ton of "This isn't as good as Björk - try harder!" kind of comments. But here where I can explain it to more intelligent folk, it is at least fun, and so far, the best version we've seen. (You must be highly intelligent because you decided to join our Patreon, right?!)

I hope you enjoy this even if it isn't ready for primetime. But give it a year or two I reckon and it might be...

Thank you for your ongoing support 👍🕹️
