All the photos of Lincoln portrayed himself very serious and sad, then you had him smile, beautifully. And I smiled!
It was like that in all photos of that period, no smile and the reason why? Exposure time and focusing.
Truly remarkable!
@@smartprocesssolutions748 Yes. I used to think the people didn't smile in photos in the 19th century because their lives were too hard and they were too unhappy to smile, even for a photo. But I learned that 1) they didn't smile because of exposure time and focusing, like you said. And 2) people were not all unhappy, in spite of harder times, because they knew how to carry a level of dignity about them and make the best of things better than many people today know how to do. And they did have fun sometimes, people did go to parties, gatherings, and festivals and had good times. And, they didn't call the 1890s The Gay 90s for no reason (Gay meaning happy back then, of course). Yes, life was hard, and not everyone was happy, but people weren't all as dour and bitter as the photos make it seem
Me too. Lincoln was amazing. He was one of the first people in history to make a major step towards where we are today with discrimination and equality. Nobody before him was successful in ending slavery
He was know to have a great sense of humor.
Oh man. I always really enjoy these videos, but this one made me cry. Seeing Lincoln "alive" like this was a truly poignant and powerful experience. Thank you.
y- you cried 🤭
He would beat Trump hands down.
@Jakob I get what she is saying. Seeing him smile does make you feel good knowing he is in a better place. Considering he was the greatest president in history and how he died at only 56 it does get to you a little bit.
@@early_crypto_investor4451 he was still a young man. 56 isn't old. He had just begun his 2nd term in office and who knows the changes he could of made.
It was great to see him alive again and happy, it brought a tear to my eyes. We need help now I wish he were here!
I'd never seen any smiling pics of Lincoln. When this representation smiled I suddenly realized why my dad had tried so hard to emulate Lincoln in his studies and work. My dad LOOKED like him -- but I'd never seen how much of a resemblance til I saw this smile.
He looks like my dad too!
For some reason, when posing for pics way back then, people looked so dour!
@@spaceace1006
Because they had to sit a long time as if someone was painting a portrait of them…..
My dad resembled Tesla but not the middle part. There was a woman who posted an old Victorian photo of people and the little girl looked like her. A friend saw it and sent it to her. Quora digest.
I always thought my grandfather looked a bit like him.
What a delight to behold.
Such a kind and gentle face and such lovely smiles. So nice to see an images of him where he looked happy.
The smiles: I have several times read that when Lincoln did smile, and he was a jokester. it totally transformed his face. This proves it.
I concur.
Very true. While he did suffer from deep depression throughout his life, especially when he lost his two sons out of four during their childhood, and the horrors of the Civil War and the stress of his wife Mary Todd's increased mental instability, he still maintained a great sense of humor. He was a great man. Poor Abe, bless your soul!
I watched program sxplaining he started wearing beard to cover his enlarged thyrod. In fact it said if he was not killed by gun he probabaly would have died not very long afterward.
@@cynthiacarter665 Yeah he would have probably lived another decade if he hadn't been murdered. Maybe 1878 at the latest. He was not long for the Earth for sure.
@@Alexs.2599 If he lived another decade during the federal stronghold over south requiring political and social changes, do you think the dmocratic party would have caused jim crow laws voted in and repress the blacks so badly.
In my country, the Netherlands, in one of our big city's, Rotterdam, they have a big statue of this wonderful man. It is placed on the Coolsingel.
Awesome!
That is so terrific.
Send a picture.
But why?
Cities
Such a wise man, a blessing to this country. So moving to watch his facial expressions - very well done! I read a book about Mary Todd Lincoln's seamstress, a former slave, who became quite close with the Lincolns. According to her, the President was the gentle, wise and kind man we imagine him to have been. He was patient with his wife's impatience and worrisome ways and kind to everybody.
At first the facial movements freaked me out but then he smiled and I smiled back. I share a birthday with Abe and have always loved him. Amazing how this was done.
Abraham Lincoln holds a special place in the hearts of Americans. Seeing these animated images of him makes him more real and evokes even stronger feelings of appreciation for him.
Thank you.
True. I am no american but one thing I admire about Americans is their patriotism towards their country.
Abe!! The Best if not one of the best President in US history.
@@bruceli9094 I would say, the greatest and best leader in the world. He made tremendous impact in other countries as well. He is much admired and respected President. MY salute to him n wish all the leaders in the world be more like him, He is a people's people's leader!!!
I'm not american but i love him.
My favorite image here occurs at 2:06 . He wears a sly grin as if he has just told you a funny story with a subtle, deeper meaning and he's waiting for you to get it.
That’s the one that kinda broke me too!
I smiled back and then almost cried.
President Lincoln freed my people from the evil empire of human bondage and chattel slavery.
We know it wasn’t for us, but by His Hand it was.🇺🇸
He has such a kind face. When he smiled I found myself smiling back. ❤️
Incredible. To see him smile - even tho I knew it wasn't him - made me smile at him as if we were sharing a face-to-face smile.
Same!
Lincoln was, and always will be my favorite President. Thank you. Your video put a smile on my face!
And for putting a smile on Lincoln's face !
How Wonderful! I’ve always admired Lincoln and seeing him as if he were alive is just Amazing. THANK YOU For this!
I loved it. To imagine to see him in his day and all the possibilities.
This was absolutely wonderful! To see Lincoln alive and smiling. Just as he ought to be! He had a wonderful sense of humor and yet the stress and toll of the civil war shows on the photos we have of him… to see him young, oh bliss! And to see him old, something that was not to be, but something you made happen! THANK YOU!!!
I have similar features to him and this was very interesting to see
This made me sad. He was 56 years old in the original photo. His face was prematurely aged. He must have suffered greatly over a divided nation.
First, it is suspected he was dying of a hereditary cancer syndrome called multiple endocrine neoplasia, type 2B.
Secondly, regarding his concern for a “divided nation”, during his famous debates with Sen. Stephen Douglas, Lincoln explained to the crowd: "I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races ... I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races from living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be a position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."
Despite the political and military strategy implemented by 1862’s Emancipation Proclamation (which was not enforceable and only applied to confederate states; in the north, buying and selling slaves was illegal but owning them was not), Lincoln was no different than most white males, North and South, at the time. He was a white supremacist. Important to remember that it was the 13th Amendment in 1865, not the Emancipation Proclamation, that abolished slavery in the US.
Me too!
It wasn't just the nation he had lost mother father sister baby wife-to-be you had a lot of loss in his life
56 back then was like 76 today. Had nothing to do with anything else.
He was prematurely aged because they didn't have sunblock and people back then generally lived a harder life. There are photos of him before he became president, back when he was in his thirties and forties, and he already looked a lot older than he was by today's standards.
The way this technology humanizes these historical figures is so amazing. The smiles, the aging ,and the movements really make you feel like they are everyday people just with extraordinary life stories.
I agree. It's uncanny, but I would say that they were maybe extraordinary people who trancended mundane circumstances
You state the obvious.
They *were* just everyday people with extraordinary life stories. There are these things called history books that you can read to tell you that, it doesn't take technology.
@@bcaye So by that metric, no single person is great, just the circumstances that surround them, meaning (presumably) that but for a vastly enhanced set of conditions you would be a person who went down in history as say, that woman who once read a book and thought she was special because she thought no one else had ever thought of reading a book These things you call history books, by the way, were they written by non-Americans, any of them?
It's amazing how when completely changing the old time hairstyle Lincoln had, and that beard, and putting those modern hair and beard styles on him, how much he looks like some regular Joe you'd see around today
I think I just fell in love with the young Abraham Lincoln. What an amazing face he had!
He truly was a remarkable man, in so many ways. So sad how he died.
Honestly, I never expected honest Abe as the smiling type. Kinda made my day to see him smile and give us a look with his kind eyes. He was a true gentleman
One of the most beloved in history. Thank you for doing Lincoln.
You have outdone your prior videos.
The Great Emancipator- the greatest
American President- has finally been made human for me. He is no longer just an iconic marble statue in Washington, D.C.
You and your team have done the world a great service. Viewing this video was a profoundly moving experience for me.
Thank you and God bless you 😊❤🇺🇸
Wow. So lovely when he is looking right at you. Feels so real
I became fascinated with the Civil War when I was a kid in the early 1960's during the Centennial, and have stayed connected to it ever since. I think your digital depiction of Lincoln is such a wonderful portrayal of the person. Because of the photography of the time, not just black and white, but having to sit for long exposures made any sort of "smile" or animated expression impossible. Lincoln was an imposing figure to begin with, and to the camera, he comes off as dark and brooding (because of the War, he was certainly that as well), but for anyone who knew him, he was much more than that. He was warm and friendly, with a great sense of humor, and loved to weave a story. His sarcasm, quips and anecdotes are legendary.
I think, with this wonderful portrayal, you bring the sense of life without minimizing Lincoln in any way. The alternative versions are great, and I especially love the "elderly" Lincoln we never got to see. Well done, and a real pleasure to watch!
He was also a very loving father to his sons. It is tragic that out of four sons only his eldest son Robert lived to adulthood.
This is one of the best 3D animations I’ve ever seen in my life! I feel like the real Abraham Lincoln is actually in front of me. I waved my hand at the screen and he looked like he actually reacted to it.
Abe smiled right at me! What a treat. ❤️ Thank you Mystery Scoop 🥀
This technology produces some powerful images. Absolutely fascinating
This blows My mind. I feel that I could have a real time conversation with Him.
Propaganda of sorts.
When AI is used for something good!
Incredibly powerful and awe inspiring images and technology. What if this was used to bring back a loved ones memory? Perhaps a child that passed or a great grandparent that u never met. The possibilities are endless. The age progression is fabulous too. Imagine being able to see what your great grandparents looked like when they were young or your age. Maybe even use this technology to age progress a child that you lost. So many possibilities. Thanks for creating and sharing. I’m a huge Abe Lincoln fan and this not only brought a tear to my eyes but also opened them. Thanks.
I found the 2:00 mark where Lincoln smiles - wow, that was a little bit awe-inducing. I'd like to think that he did smile just like that too.
Or.. maybe he smiles down on good deeds from heaven. Really well done throughout, these are excellent.
155 years ago. Wow. He looked old at 57. That’s the toll life took on him. This was amazing to see.
From an earlier photograph without whiskers... He was always ugly. He had a rough Hoosier look of the backwoods poor in the Ohio Valley.
@@STho205 No, he wasn't always "ugly." He was very handsome when he was young and at some point he experienced trauma which caused him to age. Still, as we saw in the simulation, when he smiled his face lit up.
Really? 57 he looked good! Considering most of the food he ain’t wasn’t processed. He looked good than most 20 somethings. Also with no real facial products to use either.
Nothing stresses a man like being the head of state.
@@softshallow7435 with respect, and I can see you guys want this to be legit. However this face animation is a fantasy based on scanned modern actors (and actresses in his other videos). It departs drastically from the actual photo to some imaginary emotional romance of making Lincoln seem like John Boy Walton with a beard (that he didn't have) and 1930s glasses.
I guess he does it for entertainment so he can do what he wishes. Every photo of Lincoln through the years...he is an ugly man. That's OK. Handsome doesn't equal character.
However he probably never looked like John Boy and he definitely didn't look like young Henry Fonda. I think the visual closest Hoosier/Cracker actor to do the role was Dennis Weaver in a lackluster TV movie in the 70s.
I’ve been waiting for this, I know we have lots of photos of Lincoln saved from a fire- very precious- and it’s such a joy to see him smile, it was said he had nice teeth- thank you for doing this , I’ve loved Lincoln all my life and now I’ve lived to see him come to life- awesome ❗️
My heart has always gone out to this man and what he had to endure. I think Daniel Day Lewis in “Lincoln” does a wonderful job of portraying him.
Wow. Thank you. For a brief moment, you actually feel like you are meeting one of the greatest men in history. You captured the warmth and laughter in his eyes. His compassionate features and noble countenance! Amazing work! Just beautiful. This really touched my heart.
Just wanted to say I loved him smile. From what I understand his work, his marriage and his presidency were all taxing daily endeavors. The stress shows in the portraits we have of him but I hope he had those smiles you created more often than not during his far too short life.
Thank you so much for this! And background of “Oh, Come All Ye Faithful” just perfection. He was a man of great humor so to show him smiling is wonderful. I have incredible regard for our Founding Fathers who gave us America but the ultimate in gratitude to the man who preserved our country and set us on the road to becoming even better. There will never be another Lincoln; pure of heart, the utmost integrity and honesty. God rest his beautiful soul.
Rqr s err ❤ l❤
ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING! I didn’t find it disrespectful at all. There was one sequence that portrayed him as very old and I couldn’t help but wonder, had he lived, would he have looked like that. Thank you for posting this.
What an amazing transformation of this great man! Handsome in every aspect. His smile is wonderful. Seeing him in color, watching him transform, blink...amazing! Love it. Thank you for bringing Mr. Lincoln back to life again.
He looks like a very kind gentle man which he was of course.
Oh my innocent little Singh. If you only knew. If you only knew.
@@brailrice I do not know much about him I have heard people talk about him that he ended slavery.
@@parmindersinghsidhu4734 I was just kidding. He did end slavery and was considered a good person.
@Parminder Singh Sidhu As with all celebrity, we often see what we want. Historical figures, even more so. I recommend that you read some of his biographies. Kind? At times, of course, and gentle, certainly with his family. But these were not traits that speak to the man. Considerate of others, strong belief in the Constitution and the rights of all men? Most certainly. But Lincoln had a short temper, and when younger he could and would brawl. Throughout his life, he most definitely did not “brook fools gladly” and with no tolerance for preying on the weak. His intelligence and strength - both inner and physical strength-and perseverance - these words I would choose to describe him over being “gentle and kind”. And it is beyond debate that he stood strong for the Union, where lesser men would have -and often did--falter. I agree though, with all of you, this short video does tug at one’s heartstrings.
He was described by those that knew him as neither. His death marked the day when those who bashed him, turned around and commemorated him, similar to the assassination of Julius Ceaser.
It feels so intimate to spend these moments with perhaps our greatest and most intriguing president. It makes my heart ache that we didn't get to see Mr. Lincoln actually age out. Poignant. Thank you.
False. The 45th President is greater than him.
Well, Instead of that stern look that made me a little afraid to approach him, I definitely see a much more likable person I may want to get to know . This process of imagery is brilliant. Thank you for letting us get to know this great man.
This nation was truly fortunate to have had two great presidents at the most critical moments in its history: FDR and Lincoln.
These pictures of Lincoln are amazing! He had so much to contend with in his life! Only one of his 4 sons survived him - Robert Todd Lincoln. One son, Willie, died of typhoid fever during the presidency while the family lived in the White House due to contaminated water.
Actually, two of his sons survived him. Sadly, though, Tad died only six years after his father of Tuberculosis. Poor Mary. 😑
@@fuzzamajumula Yes, poor Mary.
No. He was survived by two sons, Robert and Tad. Tad died at age 18, leaving only Robert.
Young Abe could have been a leading man.
I agree Barbara, he had an intelligent, sensitive face, warmth and empathy add to his attractiveness. The poor man aged badly, though, he must have had so many worries holding the country together during the years of strife.
Another fascinating exercise.
@@Boudicca165 Not to mention his life long career struggles, lost his boy, causing wife's slight mental illness, rough political life. He kinda reminds of shaggy though here.. Must be the beard! 🍷
@@Boudicca165
There are several real unedited photo of a younger Abe Lincoln.
He looked 30 years older than his actual age when he died.
@@mamadouaziza2536
Thank you for telling me that, I didnt know, but at 72, I'm still learning and I love it. My best wishes to you.🇬🇧
@@mamadouaziza2536 so sad. I just found out that Tom Hanks is related to Abraham Lincoln through his mum's side. Cousins I believe.
That was absolutely brilliant! Abe Lincoln has been dead for 157 years and seeing this is as if he's still here. Amazing 👏🏼
Didn't think much of this until I saw your version of Abe Lincoln... Oh my Gosh!!! Thank you for this wonderful use of technology! When he smiled at me I gave him a thumbs up and tears came to my eyes. He was one of the most remarkable Americans.... ever!!!
So very interesting. I never thought of Honest Abe as handsome but he certainly was t as homely as they make him out to be. Did you know he never had a beard until he first ran for president. It was suggested in a letter from a little girl who said “all the ladies like whiskers now”. Abe thought Why not. And the rest is history. Love this channel ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Yeah his face was too complex to capture it in one shot. If we saw all his emotions expressed on his face he wouldn't be labeled as homely. In fact the earliest known photo of him from around 1848 he looked actually nice looking.
Children do speak the honest truth sometimes......from the mouth of babes and all that.
I actually read that he had major scarring around his chin area from childhood pox, so he grew the beard in hopes to cover the blemishes and better help his chances at winning the election.
And the glasses he wore were more like the “granny” glasses or “Franklin” glasses of the 1950s. Such a cool manipulation of the picture.
There are plenty of pictures of him when he was younger. He never smiled much more than what you see in photos, which means that he rarely shoed his teet. I kind of doubt he had modern bright white teeth, though it is said that his teeth were in pretty good condition, aside from having had one extracted.
There is such sadness surrounding this president, reflected in such serious portraits, what with the daily existential crises he faced, and of course the circumstances of his death. But seeing him brought to life and smile, in such a realistic, genuine way, brought tears to my eyes. It's also sad to see our current politics so devolved in a country he was completely devoted to and ultimately gave his life for.
I think he suffered from depression at times or at least melancholia. He lost the first lady he loved to milk disease and his mother at an early age. He lost his young son, Tad, I think, while in office. He can be excused from being sad at times. BTW, the moniker I use is not my real name. I have a friend who called me Abe when we were kids.
This is so moving. Your images help me see him how he really was when he visited friends here in my hometown, back in the 1800s, traveling on the cobblestone streets. Brought tears of joy for his life & sadness for the premature death.
Abraham Lincoln is my most loved and admired historical figure, and puts to shame the politicians of our day. I’ve read about him extensively, and watched a lot of film about him, too; but the end never changes, and it’s always so depressing to me. This, however, was a marvelous wonder and blessing. Thank you so much for bringing this wonderful man to life.
Politicians in his day were even worse, but he handled them perfectly. Absolutely admire him.
couldn't agree more❤
Too bad Lincolns party has betrayed him !
@@francisbird6290He wouldn’t even know that this is the same country…such a shame.
I feel so much love and respect for this man. More politicians need to follow his example.
He had very kind eyes ❤
I was born and raised in the "Land of Lincoln." I was brought up with tales of Lincoln, as I was raised next to stocks of corn. I learned of him in school, (had to memorize the "Gettysburg Address" in 7th grade), followed the ''Lincoln Trail" throughout Illinois on family vacations, and stood at the foot of his grave in Springfield, as a high-schooler. To watch this video, I was transfixed. Seeing him in color, blink, his eyes and move them, and his "all too rare" smile, took by breath away somewhat. I wanted to say, "Welcome home again, Mr. President. It's been a long time sir, ...It IS good to to see you again!"
I was toooo! Champaign Urbana!! The Civil War really took his youth away. A Black Maid in the White House was his confidant and her journals were found by her great grandchildren. She states that Abraham would be found MANY times on his knees, begging and pleading with The Lord to show him the way...
@@grannyearth5496 I used to live next to Ottawa, Ill. Famous as one of the sites of a Lincoln-Douglas debate (There are statutes of both men in the center of Washington Park).You're right, the war aged Lincoln. He also suffered from depression, aggravated more-so after his son "Willie" died at 11 of Typhoid" in the Lincoln bedroom. On numerous occasions, Lincoln returned to visit him, to remember, and to weep, even as he tried to hold the country together. It was said Lincoln had his coffin opened, just to look upon Willie's face. When Lincoln was assassinated, Willie's body was exhumed and was put on Lincoln's funeral train. Mary Todd Lincoln and three of Lincoln's sons (Edward, Willie, and Tad) are also entombed with Lincoln. Robert is buried at Arlington (Originally, Mrs. Robert E. Lee's rose garden). Also, I think "Elizabeth Hobbs Keckley" was the name of that maid.
@@thedealer777 Yes!!! I guess Willie would sit at his fathers feet and listen to political talks, he was the apple of his fathers eye. Not to mention Mary Todd was not the best partner for him. Frivolous and also depressed. Lincoln also suffered from migraines... if you can imagine not having ANY medication for that?! He sure had his plate full.
@@thedealer777 I live in Peru, IL. Small world 🌍.
@@marymarysmarket3508 Not as small as Grand Ridge. Head down 23 at 50 MPG blink you eyes, and you'd miss it. Do they still have the Peru Mall? I went to IVCC back in the 70s, we used to stop there after night classes, and grab a bite at the Pizza Hut.
Watching this bring tears to my eyes. It’s as if Abe had arisen from the dead. Next ? Simulated Speech and Hologram.
Always amazing when you make the photo move!
Amazing! How did you get that mischievous glint in his eyes, when in full smile??? I fully expected him to give a little wink. ❤️
The man loved to tell funny jokes and stories. He had a great sense of humor. The mischievous glint makes perfect sense.
agree with others here. was mesmerized by this and then burst into tears.
You could take the boy out of the backwoods, but you couldn't take the backwoods out of the boy. His homespun humor delighted the nation.
I’ve seen a photo pre Civil war and post Civil War of Lincoln, he aged considerably.
Yes, the photos are at the Smithsonian Museum.
President Lincoln has always been a hero of mine. Its wonderful to see his smile, and hope in his life he did so often despite the weight on his shoulders.
The image @1:37 is the one that affects me the most. The smile and the eyes show the benevolent, humble character of the man. He's someone who would edify and entertain you with his wit and wisdom, inspire you to be a better person, and motivate you to give your all to a worthy cause. In the proverbial dinner party scenario where you invite five people from history to share an evening with you, he would be one of my choices, no doubt.
Incredible work here. I love the final effects of the animated portraits of President Abraham Lincoln. Beautiful and skillful artistry. Thank YOU. Have a blessed day.
It’s worth noting that Lincoln was 6’5” tall and in photos has the body similar to that of a retired basketball player. I used to think that he was kind of unusual looking until I started thinking of him this way.
Still, I've never seen another human being that looked remotely like Abe - and he looked so different in each photo. An unusual man in so many ways.
Actually he was 6'4, but I agree he had a very unique look for sure.
He *was* unusual looking. He looked very like his mother, and she was unusual looking.
Wasn’t that due Marfan Syndrome?
@@carish1452 Yeah Abe possibly did have Marfan Syndrome. He had long gangly arms and extra long legs and he had a sunken chest. One eye was pitched higher than the other and when he crossed his legs the leg on the top would jerk up to do movement in his aeorta. These were symptoms of Marfan's Syndrome. But we'll never fully know.
56 year old man looked much older than today's. He was a handsome man
@Ich Bin Armilus! omg that's too funny 🤣💜
@Ich Bin Armilus! a little
Focusing on Abraham Lincoln for one longer individual video, was my favorite yet. It helped me feel like I’d been privileged to see him alive. It w
Felt like a more meaningful experience. Thank you. I hope you do more of these in-depth videos. They are very satisfying and gratifying to watch. Thank you!
Please keep making these vids of historical figures brought to life! Feels like traveling back in time.
I've read that he had a beautiful smile that lit up a room. This is as close as we'll ever get to it. Thank you for this!
Wonderful to see all the pain in his life off his face.
I thought that also.....
Indeed Lynn. He suffered personal losses. Went through a stressful time in American history. Suffered from depression. At one point he was put on a suicide watch. I would have loved to sit down with him and have lunch. I hope in some way he knows he really made a difference.
Yep, and only 21 yrs to think.
Lincoln was a great man, he made some amazing accomplishments. Ending slavery was his greatest one. It's sad how Lincoln battled depression. They didn't have the therapy and medications for depression they have today. People had to just bear it raw. Even with physical pain, right? Opiate pain killers like oxycodone, methadone, and morphine didn't even exist until the late 19th century (at least a couple of decades after Lincoln died), it makes it hard to imagine how people managed all of their Civil War wounds without them. Many people did get themselves totally plastered drunk though, whisky was already around
Fun fact: when asked why he carried a constant look of seriousness, pain, and grief on face, and never smiled, Lincoln didn’t mince words when he said, ‘It’s pretty hard to feel good about life when you wake up everyday all too aware that everyone your surrounded by is a complete boot licking idiot. Quite honestly, having to deal with so many complete and total morons moment after moment, day after day, makes me wish someone would just put a bullet in my brain!’
I have never pictured Lincoln in short hair and smiling or as a good-looking young man. The video gave Lincoln a new personality and made him a real person, not a historical figure in a b&w photo. Wonderful. Thank you.
I just love the work that is shown in these portraits!!!! Also,this channel is awesome!!!!
So interesting to see a smiling Lincoln. His teeth look very healthy. I wonder if this is what they actually looked like, and if not, would his smile look different with different teeth? At any rate, just to see him smiling is wonderful (since he had a lot to not smile about).
He has 21st century teeth, oddly.
@@Anthony-hu3rj Miracle of modern technology. He has better teeth than I do! 😁
Historically, he was supposed to have had good teeth.
@@Camop-iz9kt Thanks, I didn't know that. I must have been thinking of George Washington, who, even if he actually didn't have wooden teeth, did not have the greatest dentition.
A pity such a good man did not live to a ripe old age!
This is FASCINATING!! 👏👏👏 wouldn’t be able to thank you enough! These bring them back to life
Haunting somehow, yet so alluring; watching the images come to life like that. Wow!
Great work!! Bravo!
The young Lincoln is so handsome!!!!
How do you know?
@@DaveSCameron did you see the vídeo?? The young version is so handsome
@@gabrielanessuti Well yes I did however its clearly an other persons interpretation of him animated with current software so who knows? I suggest we revise it with Washington and him chewing an apple 😇🤗🍎x
Kinds looks like Andrew Lincoln
@@silkroad1201 Top shout yes it does This Life brief actor:-))
Lincoln grew the beard just before he became president. I think growing the beard was the suggestion of a young girl who met him during his campaign for president. She thought a beard would make him look more distinguished.
I had thought I had seen Lincoln in Daniel Day Lewis, but Now I have truly experiencing seeing Lincoln. it takes my breath away. Thank You
Thank you so much for this, very moving seeing President Lincoln animated and so real!
Wow. It felt like he was looking at me. What a rush of heartache.
Would love to, one day, see my late mother digitally animated like this.
There is an app
Wow!
I have tried it on an image of my late mum, its very freaky! Soon we will be able to attach voices to this avatars and be able to use these avatars as AI assistants.
@@NenaIram what is the app??
You want to see your mom portrayed as a twitchy-eyed hipster...?
Can anyone imagine what it would have been like to meet him and talk with him? I have a book on him that tells of his life and character.
It tells of his solace, his wit and wisdom, and how he spoke. His voice was shy and delicate yet his words were powerful and cast meaning.
Excellent work!! It looked so real! It looked like he was staring directly at you! Thank you so much! So touching and magnificent!
Wow that moved me to tears!
Good evening Scoop! Just when I think that you cannot possibly surpass your capabilities..You just deliver a man whom you have featured previously..The mesmerising Abraham Lincoln!! Merci Beaucoup Scoop! 😊💕🤗
Wow, thank you
When younger, the hairline should have been fuller and ears and nose smaller. Loved it anyway 👍👏🏼🙏🏼
LOVE this! I'm writing a novel about Lincoln right now, and seeing him brought back to life like this really inspires me to get back to writing. Thank you!
The time is coming where this tech will get to the point that they can take any photograph of any period and CGI the person back into life full body on screen and look absolutely real. This makes Lincoln look so human does it not?
Yes but I would not actually be him.
He was human, I think you meant to say alive . . . .
@@anthonysaponaro6318 lol If that's easier for you.
Brilliant. My wife and I are both fascinated when these people come to life. We do wonder what the future holds for this area? Thank you.
I don't even have the words to describe how amazing this was to see. I'm suddenly filled with the desire to see Frederick Douglas brought to life in the same way.
The amount of inner strength that this man possessed is truly incredible. Not only did he get our country through the Civil War and all of the horrors that went with that, but in his personal life, he lost his most precious little boy, his son, when he was little and it caused his wife to literally have a nervous breakdown. (Only to later have her husband murdered in front of her at a theater.) I honestly cannot imagine our country if this great man had never come along. MY god, I wish he had had the chance to live out his days and do more good. And that he and his wonderful wife, Mary, could have had a happier, and longer life together. They are the very definition of "Don't give up, and fight for what is right."
And I absolutely LOVE the quote you chose of his for this video. It is my favorite.
A few things: I think the early Abe was not as handsome, and I would suspect his teeth were not as dazzling. In those days, teeth weren't dazzling white. But otherwise, marvelous.
Agreed. I seem to remember that he never really grew a beard until running for President.
Would love to see more historical pictures colorized and animated like Frederick Douglas, Booker T. Washington Sojourner Truth, young Harriet Tubman. Great seeing these people from the past (before movies) a animated.
No one is stopping you from picking up the app, learning how to render and posting it on your own channel.
Yeh, and to make them even more realistic, put a BLM sign in one hand an a gun in the other. Would that make you proud?
Strange how our perceptions of historical figures gets glued to old paintings and portraits, and when you see them younger, older, with different hairstyles, your entire view of these people changes.
Very well done. He was a great president and went through life’s trials & tribulations personally & publicly. It’s nice to see him happy as I’m sure there were moments of joy with his family & with the nation. Thank you.
Beautiful music, especially what starts at 1: 40! And very interesting quotes. "You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today." Seems he lived by it. Courageously looking each day in the eye and trying to shape a better future, as he said: "The best way to predict your future is to create it." Thank you for reminding us of this wisdom.
Absolutely enthralling, Mystery Scoop, but why, "Oh, Come All Ye Faithful" as the background tune?
I came to comments to ask the same thing. :) Great song, though. And a really good version of it.
All ye faithful came to watch the video, no?
@@lambjack1 😄
Where can I find that track? It's a stunning version!
I wondered that too. Is the music something that was written separately from the familiar Christmas carol and the lyrics to the carol added later?
Great job. Brings a tear to my eye to see history come to life. 🤔
As far as it’s fascinating to admire President Lincoln ,he was by far greater than show. Thank you for the marvelous rendering ,of his personality .He thought himself as being very ugly but ,the fact though is that he was quite handsome.
He grew the beard later in life, but it looked good on young Abe. It's too bad he didn't discover his trademark beard early in life. It would have made him quite handsome.
Why did this make me cry like a baby?
Could it be that (like me) you're sorry his life was cut tragically short by an assassin?
He was hopeful and idealistic, and wanted justice in his country; who knows what great changes he could have wrought, given the chance?
He was a bright light extinguished too soon.
@@Boudicca165 a sadness came over me.
Life is short. No matter how it ends.
Stay safe
Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
@@evaperez4139 So true, amen to that.
Oh me too! Perhaps it is because he was such a kind soul who carried so much on his shoulders. He lived through so much pain and tragedy in his life.
@@evaperez4139
Thank you, Eva, for your good wishes.
The sadness in his face speaks to us all; his younger self is so hopeful and engaging - and the world lost him too soon.
Take care of yourself, Isabel 🇬🇧
I am a Turk. However, I have great respect for Abraham Lincoln. He is one of the most valuable children of not only the American society, but also all of humanity, who should be honored with his existence. His response to slavery, his love of animals, his deep love and commitment to justice and mercy, and his He is a valuable elder of all of us and a monument of humanity that should be taken as an example, with his humane and upright and honorable stance against all negativities, as if he were a prophet. His name will live in our hearts forever, our children will be inspired by him, and the torch of humanity in his hands will illuminate the path of all humanity forever!
0:37 I was born 104 years later 😉 President Lincoln looks like a very nice and caring man. Absolutely loved the photo of him with glasses! Awesome job once again 🙂
