@@benminor31 Yes, in terms of semi-realistic animation its a mater of using AI or (practically speaking) not producing anything. So if you liked this 'second-order' kind of creative product it's had to dismiss AI-based image generation.
I was going to say the same thing. If a movie was released in the 50s with a score like this, it would have been laughed out of the theaters. I'd love to see this remade with an accurate 50s score: something lush, sweeping, magnificent, orchestral, and probably with a bit too much harp.
No, I think 1940s/1950s fits for a trailer. Trailers back then weren't super bombastic like they are today. It's got that sound fade/decay that I associate with film reels from the 1940s and 1950s.
But it is a wrong look. If you seen a movie like Ben-Hur or Lawrence of Arabia you would understand that the image would look crystal clear and actually have 4 times the resolution of 35mm that Lord of the Rings was filmed on.
@@Art-is-craft I think the look isn’t the image clarity, but the colour grading and lighting and overall look of the actors etc. In that sense, this video does look similar to Ben-Hur etc.
It's hard to place it cause although the aeisthetic is definitely in the 30s, the designs are still based on the modern sets made for modern audience, so it feels wrong 😅
If done in the 1950s on 70mm it would look nothing like that. Watch something like Vertigo on a 4k blu ray on an OLED tv set and you may start to get an idea of what such a movie would look like.
We are so close to being able to generate our own individual movies. I will make a 36 hour version of peter jackson’s lotr which doesnt alter the filmed parts but just adds the parts jackson left out from the books.
Well, it could certainly aid casting. I remember a friend and I casting Roger Zelazny’s Lord Of Light, and we had to cast Sean Connery at several of his ages; won’t work even with makeup, but an AI could age him exactly right (from early adult to older than he was in League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen).
And if you thought overuse of CGI made Hollywood feel cheap and empty, wait til not even the people or their voices are real.. This is a fucking dystopia and everyone's just's cheering..
@@nandinoo I got hit in the head the other day. Way better than the Rings of Power. Better storyline, better acting, and I felt way better after is was over too.
Чем хороши фильмы и сериалы тех лет, так это тем, что в них есть шикарная атмосфера. Они живые, а не нарисованные на хромакее. "Звëздный путь" тех лет, различные приключенческие фильмы... Очень вкусно. И Властелин колец вышел бы потрясающий.
The elves look so beautiful. 0:35 Legolas, 0:39 Galadriel, 0:52 Arwen. I could see Alain Delon playing Legolas, either Hedy Lamarr or Vivien Leigh playing Galadriel, and Gene Tierney playing Arwen.
That's amazing looking. I was immediately able to recognize every single "un-named" character. I suppose the AI modeled them mostly on the film actors but still it was intersting to see.
@@tempofugo168 yep, AI just finds patterns and continues the pattern in the most likely way, that's how it generates images. Most of the Hobbit imagery is from the recent movies, that's why you see the film actors but they look a little off
Looks awesome. You know, they probably could've done a decent version of LOTR back in the late 50's or early 60's for real. Would've been awesome if they could've gotten Ray Harryhausen to do awesome stop motion versions of the Balrog and/or Sauron, amongst others. The only real problem would have been that there was no precedent for making movie trilogies back then, and that would mean that the studio would've tried to cram all three parts into one, two hour, film.
Epic blockbusters were several hours long with one or even two intermissions during which the restrooms were crammed. Went to see the original cut of the Taylor-Burton *Cleopatra* like that with my mom. So minimum 3hours for it, maybe 4.
Oh,@@hollyingraham3980That's cool. I forgot all about those long epic films. I used to get, and greatly enjoy, Turner Classic Movies. But I was paying $10 a month for it, amidst several other channel I never watched on cable. So I gave it up to save money. Miss it a lot, tho!
Honestly modern movies should have an intermission if they’re going to be more than 2.5 hours. The cinema would make more money on concessions, so it works out for everyone.
0:40 Is that Galadriel? Good job, AI... the character was meant to be breathtakingly beautiful... and that's what I'm seeing here. Same for Arwen at 0:52
Because it does not ‚understand‘ what anything is or means. It just mathematically seeks patterns in feed data banks and fills in what it deems most likely.

Could almost see how it would have been made: Charlton Heston playing Aragorn, Peter Cushing as Sarumon, Audrie Hepburn as Arwen and maybe Lauren Bacall as Galadriel, and of course a huge army of extras. All this going on with some over the top epic Bernstein score.
You may laugh, but when we were both younger, I used to drink in the same pub as Cate and her theater buddies. The Donc. And she was not the most beautiful of them ( There was a girl called Essie, left Cate in the shade. ) but she was definitely a star, even then.

Those are fantastic. I'd say 60s rather than 70s, but otherwise . . . I'd love to see a movie made like this, especially if staying true to the books' storyline.
This actually looks really cool. To think Amazon set a billion dollars on fire just like the Joker in The Dark Knight, at least the Joker can claim insanity, as for Amazon? 🤷
Are you freaking kidding me? This is amazing! I would subscribe to Amazon prime, just to watch this instead of that horrible horrible, abomination, known as the rings of power. This was done extremely well. And even if it was only two hours long I'd still buy it.
Almost right. A mix of '50s and '30s. But while the props, set design, and color timing are spot on, you don't have enough titles. Movies of that time threw text up everywhere especially when the actors showed up. Lots of star power was the key to drawing people in back in those days. Even if you made names up, it would go a long way.
Totally agree. Music would have been by Miklos Roszas (Ben Hur, Quo Vadis, El Cid, The Thief of Baghdad) or maybe Bernstein. Big Romantic orchestral scores like Lucas told Williams he wanted for Star Wars.
It's almost terrifying, how advanced AI generation has gotten. Some of the shots I couldn't even tell were AI. It hits at the point right before the uncanny valley, the peak before it becomes slightly off to watch.
Saruman would have been played by the same actor lol😂
Hahaha 😂🤣 funniest comment ever !! But true!

Too young at that time.
FYI, these are modern mockups to look like old films. So yeah, they are actually based on the current movie actors, etc.

Thats how Galadriel must look in P. Jackson movie. Not like that old women who been in the movie

@@jinx7437 Galadriel look like young beautifull women in book, not like Cate Blanchett, with all respect to her
It has that 50s "vibe" but the background music is from the 20s-30s.
The announcer and film grain is wrong too. It's like a scratchy photo rather than an actual fuzzy picture with slight chromatic dispersion.
20’s for sure. The Wizard of Oz released in ‘39 and the soundtrack is sweeping orchestras. Not this honky tonk plonking.
unsurprisingly AI artists dont understand art history

I'm fascinated by all of these.
This was genuinely awesome, though it's more like 1930s than 1950s.
That's what I was thinking, 30s for sure with the music and look, but very true to that feel.
Kinda looks more like Wizard of Oz, I have to agree with you.
