@@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.
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..
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.
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.
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 😅
@@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.
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.
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.
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.

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
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.
That was damn impressive. What needs to happen is to extend this out to the stories from The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. Full length movies or series for each. Then I think I can die happy. And no Amazon in sight.
I have seen reprints of 1950s 70mm and they had no scratches and had a crystal clear high resolution. Romberg lord of the ring was shot 35mm and 70mm can offer up to 4 times that resolution.
@@relaxeddude3096are you for real?? There are tons of 50s movies rescanned into 4k an thry look amazing. 50's movies are shot on 35mm film.

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. And they were both used to guys trying it on, and if you were gentle and polite about it, they let you try your best before shooting you down. I know because I brought them both drinks, and played pool with them and their friends, and got gently shot by all of them over and again :) If you don't got the nuts to roll the dice and don't have the sense to take the rejection with a joke and let it mean nothing, you never will get one.
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.
Sauron only has 4 fingers on his right hand because Isildur cut one off. Gollum talks about it after Sauron personally tortured him: “He has four fingers on the black hand, but they are bad enough.”
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.
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.
If they made a Middle Earth movie in the 1950s, Peter Lorre would have made a perfect Gollum. He's the buggy eyes, the short stature, bald head, and the perfect voice.
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.
This short video alone beats the abomination that is Amazon's tv series.
While I agree, but this AI garbage is every bit an equal abomination.
But where da diversity at?

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.

It looks bad. You can see how their faces got distorted as their heads nod down. AI still can’t nail down that 50s look.

His bright blue jacket and yellow boots brought to life in glorious Technicolor!
rightfully so.

They are using AI which is mostly based on Peter Jackson's images more than anything else. Since he axed out Tom Bombadil, everyone else is too.

nah dude think that was tom bombadil
If it wouldn't be for a tree at the background, I would rather bet on healing of Theoden :)
To be fair, the hobbits here looks more like the hobbits in the books than the ones in the actual movie.
I could totally imagine watching this clip during the intermission at a drive-in.
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.
