The Great Fire of 1962 | Reanimated History

May 20, 2018

In 1862, fire devastated much of Troy, New York. On May 10, 1862, a fire was started by a train steaming out of Union Station as it crossed the Hudson on the wooden Green Island Bridge. The gale force winds that were buffeting Troy that day quickly whipped up a firestorm that would claim the lives of 8 people and burn 75 acres and 650 buildings. The city was forever changed. This is an image of the aftermath of the fire, rebuilt and reconstructed from an albumen stereograph, in it is Union Station and the site of Gurley Instruments as seen from the hill where present-day RPI stands.

Albany Capitol Circa 1908 | Reanimated History

May 20, 2018

The above image is a glass negative of the New York State Legislature and New York State Education Building in Albany, New York from 1908. The bottom is the image restored and rebuilt. Cameras of that time typically didn't have the ability to capture the dynamic range of both the sky and the ground. That's the reason so many images have completely clipped, or blown out skies in so many vintage photos. Check out the trolley tracks running down Washington Avenue. They are really the only giveaway that this isn't present day because of the prevalence of so much timeless architecture.

More updated to Nor'easter Films Reanimated History are on the way.

The Great Flood of 1913

April 27, 2018

 

The Great Flood of 1913 occurred between March 23 and March 26, after major rivers in the central and eastern United States flooded from runoff and several days of heavy rain and melt. In Troy, New York, the Hudson River crested at 29.7 feet above flood stage, which is still the highest level ever recorded, far higher than Hurricane Irene. There are no known moving pictures of the flood, this video is built from an image captured on the western shore of the Hudson River where the present-day Congress Street Bridge touches down in Watervliet, New York. Today, you can still find markings on the buildings of Front Street approximating the water level. (Photographer Unknown)

Reanimated History

April 16, 2018

New from Nor'easter Films, Reanimated History. These manufactured videos are built from historic still images.

The top video is the day the Green Island Bridge collapsed into the Hudson River, March 15, 1977. Video from the time is rare. 

The bottom video was built from a hand-cranked panorama of the Troy, New York waterfront and Hudson River on October 7, 1909. 

Look for more Reanimated History videos and a larger project coming this Spring.

A nor'easter is a macro-scale storm along the upper East Coast of the United States and Atlantic Canada; the name is derived from the direction the wind is coming in from the storm. The wind on land, therefore, will generally blow from the northeast.

Nor'easter Films is a premier provider of professional video production and logistics services tailored for demanding environments. We specialize in delivering outstanding results for commercial shoots and on-location media projects, excelling at every stage of the production process. As your dedicated media partner, we offer comprehensive support from pre-production to deployment.

Our mission at Nor'easter Films is to collaborate closely with our clients, delivering dynamic content that surpasses expectations for both media and commercial applications.

"I am fueled by my passion for venturing into the field, even under adverse conditions, to capture compelling videos and stills. The logistical intricacies of understanding a location's distinct requirements and successfully deploying equipment to capture the perfect shot truly exhilarate me. With an extensive background spanning two decades, I have fearlessly filmed in all conceivable circumstances. I take immense pride in my ability to create unforgettable content, whether it be within the controlled environment of a commercial shoot or amidst the remote and often treacherous conditions of the backcountry." -John Bulmer
