Wooo! What a great episode! The generated images were really brilliant for this episode, I was too fascinated to look away. Can’t wait for the Children of Húrin series to commence
Wow.. incredible Work bro… It is absolutly stunning and starting to get really incaptivating. It is very close to what I had imagined resding the Silmarilion.
Great job Cottage!! It’s nice to see how you make better and better work. Thanks a lot for putting images to the Silmarillion with loyalty to Tolkien’s work!
I watched the 3 parts of the Nirnaeth again. Awsome videos, truely epic...and sad. Wonderful pictures and landscapes in part 3. And these beautiful elves! The parts fit well together to build a visual history of the first age. Many thanks for bringing my favourite book to life, mellon!
Thinking lately why has it been so long Cotton isn't uploading any contents, but this the sweet result you gave us, Utter perfection, I love how you maintain the gravity and the tension one must feel when you hear, watch and read such a Legendarium 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you very much for your words! Yes, I'm having a hard time showing the 10-minute videos, this one has taken me about 3 weeks, but I prefer to take my time so that it turns out more or less as I want. Combining content creation with my work is not being easy for me XD
Incredible. Simply incredible. Have you ever thought about doing the full exchange between Morgoth and Hurin, as it was told in the ,"The Children of Hurin"? Next to Fingolfin's challenge, Hurin's defiance of Morgoth is one of the greatest displays of courage displayed in the First Age.
Sure. In the future, I was thinking about making a full video of the Nirnaeth, reviewing images, dialogues, etc. What do you think about a full 40-minute video about the Nirnaeth?
I think you've improved greatly as a screenwriter. The choice of scenes like the Morgoths hand gesture as a bridge/transition was such a great touch. I would love to see some story fleshed out and composed from such smaller scenes in the future rather than rushing through a season-long story in a comics-like synopsis.
@TheCottageofLostPlay Another screenwriting technique you might be interested in is that when 2 characters fight, you could prompt the camera to be behind the back of one of them with a slight angle - in contrast to that, you show them 90 degrees to the viewer so they dance awkwardly in the generated output as a weird dance is an approximation of a fight. If they stand on a line then the one that faces the camera takes a swing and the one being back to the camera can defend but the point of it all is that he covers his own arms and half of the character taking the swing - so in result this looks realistic and is a clever workaround around the models ability to generate realistic dynamic movements of a fight. Afterwards it might be possible to generate several angles and perspecrives (from various characters point of view) and create a montage of short clips like in an action movie that would result in a fully fluid fight sequence that might potentially be workaround for the models tendency to deviate from what its supposed to do if the single scene exceeds certain length. One of the complaints people tend to have towards gen ai videos is that it's more like slightly animated comics rather than an actual video but I think theoretically it might be possible to work around it.
Also how the narration is written in terms of what the camera shows rather than what the voice says, could affect the output performance. For example 1st person narration and camera following a character very close to them, versus like 3 shots of the same scene: from above, a portrait of one character and the character they talk to. I mean in the beginning when there is a shot on Morgoth, in the next scene it's another room. Both look cool but it's incoherent. I'm sure you had some ideas and limitations but perhaps it's possible to generate an initial image for the next scene by changing an angle of any of the frames from previous scene; and there could be a bridge in between such as a closer shot on the characters upper body portrait, eyes, some gesture idk
Impresionante trabajo. Supera con creces a ciertas superproducciones tanto en ambientación como en cuanto a su fidelidad con el relato original. Seguro que Tolkien lo observa desde el Taniquetil orgulloso de ver su obra representada con la calidad que se merece. ¡Sigue así!
Once again I am really impressed with the intricacy, composition and color of some of the shots, especially 2:33 village, 2:45 mines, 3:18 forest, 4:28 havens, 7:57 island, 8:03 rivers, which are absolutely stunning. I am really curious to hear how you come up with these images ? Do you feed the AI with photo references and asking specific things in kink with the story, do you give a really precise description of the image you imagine or you generate by iterations until you find something visually satisfying ?
thank you so much! I work on prompts, repeating as many times as necessary until I get more or less what I have in mind, I retouch some of them with Photoshop, it is exhausting work at some points, especially in the action scenes
Amazing how AI comes close to your imagination. What a great depiction of Morgoth. Hope Rings of Power uses this style of dark lord in future incarnations of Sauron. Charlie Vickers dressed up in make-up to make him look like that after Numenor downfall would be pretty amazing.
That was unbelievable much preferred of this amazon crap and amongst many others around I saw really well according to Tolkien pictures nice characters of orcs and also Battles and siege destruction were so great in that film here! This and the "Fall of Gondolin" of abandoned films maker and the Dagor Dagorath are my new Best Tolkien theme Books right small videos!!! In that video only the Voice are a bit common if you can also enhance the voice hearing like we saw on "Fall of Gondolin" video to suit to Elven Hearing and Glory will be Perfect!!!! Keep up please with this Work whenever you have time and cover slowly slowly 10 minutes of many First and even Third and Fourth Age according to Tolkien references events!!!! Wow that was unbelievable powerful to see!!! I hope on future to also enhance more the details according to Tolkien Universe.
Wow the action is getting better and better, larger siege scenes are crazy now. Once the ai gets the tighter action shots down it will be able to make full movies

I don't understand why the "lord of darkness" looks like a dark-skinned human? Is there any necessity for such being to have nose, teeth, ears, hair? I even wonder now - does it have a tailbone?
Wooo! What a great episode! The generated images were really brilliant for this episode, I was too fascinated to look away. Can’t wait for the Children of Húrin series to commence
thanks so much!!!
Once again thanks for such a brilliant adaptation of the Silmarillion
Glad you like it! Thanks a lot for your visit!

Thanks so much for your words and support!! I really appreciate it, im working on children of hurin chapter 1!
@TheCottageofLostPlay Fantastic! This is my favourite tale. Keep on with your brilliant work, friend!

Well done. Congras. Beautiful work.
The landscape are really wonderful.
And of course all the wiews and animations are great
Thanks so much for your comment!
Awsome! The dark ambiant of this war is really impressive through the pictures! Bravo!!!
thanks so much!
Been waiting for this one! Great job! Keep 'em coming! 👍👍👍
Thanks so much!!!

That’s a fantastic suggestion! Húrin’s defiance is indeed legendary-one of the most powerful moments in the First Age
Sure. In the future, I was thinking about making a full video of the Nirnaeth, reviewing images, dialogues, etc. What do you think about a full 40-minute video about the Nirnaeth?
@TheCottageofLostPlay I think its perfect! It was the turning point in the War of Great Jewels.
This is glorious, thank you so much for making them!
Thanks so much for your visit!

Thank you very much, with these longer videos I am trying to explain everything better and not so summarized.
Incredible sequel...i don't want it to end!
Thanks so much for your support!
Very well done! I look forward to the Children of Hurin.

Your videos are beyond comparison excellent!!!
Thanks so much for your words!
The zoom in on the face in the last scene is such good screenwriting
thanks so much!

Great aethestic, a real Tolkien atmosphere.

Жаль, что перевод хромает. Но визуализация и диалоги точно неплохи.
Awesome!
Thanks so much!
Шикарная работа 😊

Their voices are funny. You really need to fix this, because it turns the whole thing into a parody.
Why do the weapons go all wonky with AI??
XD yep, i wish will be better...
Better than ROP as always
Thank you!!
Great
