Hollywood is obsessed with live action but I’ve always thought Dune would work better as a high budget animated film series, to truly capture the visuals of the novels.
Honestly, what you might be remembering is an old anime called either The Wind Warriors (Or Warriors of the Wind), or Naussica of the Valley of the Wind. Which HEAVILY seemed to be influenced by Dune in it's overall tone/theme/imagery.
Kind of ironic that an A.I (with OP's help) created an anime about a universe where A.I is despised. "Thou shalt not create a machine in the likeness of the human mind." Love your work
If only things happened like the way we want them to, would really like to this but its not gonna happen any time soon, at least till AI learns how to make whole movies
I love that the AI understands the general idea of something but when you look at the fine details of the art its like "oh shit this is missing ALOT of detail"
Indeed - but imagine a talented artist filling in the details while not having to do all the work. That would make the artist about 10x more productive. This technology will help artists create animation movies without a huge budget and studio filled with animators.

Looks like some promotional art for big JRPG from 90s, with huge budget of it's time and revolutionary mechanics, but investors was not pleased with how much money that project took just on stage of pre production, so "Dune" (development title) was closed and was kept in the darkest basement corner, until some geeky build worker found it behind a brick wall and secretly leaked to the internet at least some saved materials on hard drives, that was not chewed by rats.
There seems to be more three legged people in it than I remember from the book, but the art is gorgeous, I love the colour palette, especially that image with the bright blues contrasting the orange/beige tones.
Well, for one thing the story is weird as fuck when you get further into the books. And the story almost doesn't end either, it's just one thing leads to another.
As a long time fan of the books, man this is spot on! With animation you can do so much, you don’t need complicated sets, you just need your imagination and some ink.
Ah yes, the 1990s classic, Dune. Somehow they crammed the whole story into four 35 minute OAV episodes of highly detailed animation with a rocky release schedule that spanned 3 years. It didn't make much sense but it looked amazing.
I've always believed that Hideaki Anno could have made a very competent adaptation of the first three books, as Evangelion has a couple similar things in its characters. Watching this, now I wish that japanese artists like Yoshitaka Amano or Miyazaki made designs for it. Frank Herbert had a beautiful imagination - and I think his work can still inspire a lot of amazing things
Seeing all these AI generated alternate versions of established movies and series makes me want to try my hand at doing this. These are absolutely awesome.
I've always said Dune would work best as a season-per-book anime series. There's so much internal dialogue/politics, melodramatic acting, and strangeness that would translate well to an animation. Plus we could afford to see the real scale of some stuff.
Ya know what I would like to see? The Chronicles of Narnia as a Studio Ghibli film (probably Princess Mononoke based) * Animorphs as an Adult Swim Anime (Parasite the Maxim meets Young Justice?) Redwall as an Adult Swim Anime (like a furry Vinland Saga) Calvin and Hobbes as a live action movie, and as an anime. (Nostalgic slice of life about social contract) Mix of art styles HR Giger and Film Noir Mix of art styles Southern Gothic and Cyberpunk (think Oh Brother Where art Thou + Ghost in Shell) Sonic SatAM as an Adult Swim Anime *or adult swim anime, or darker toned Cartoon Saloon.
I could have sworn I saw a cartoon very similar to this in the 80s or 90s, The scence I remember was of sandy beach and there was a giant sand worm, the protagonist got on a flying bike of some sort. They were either fighting at battle or trying to capture of kill it or lure it away. Can't for the life of my find that anime again.
@@TylorBennett i think that create a video is easy, all u need is 24 photos per second, The hard stuff in my opinio is to create a script with a beginning, middle and end, and that makes sense, with a direction that manages to catch you watching. A captivating story, not just random little takes, but a continuous story that makes sense and is exciting.
It is clearly a non 90s anime. As someone who used 3d in the 90s I can clearly see gradients in colors which was not possible for animation until the development of better software and more powerful computers. Use Wings of Honneamise or Akira as reference. They are both Masterpieces of animation. Shadows are blocks. The other issue is the many, many colors with very little difference that are used in animated components such as 2 tanks un front of a dune. Such things are an issue since you must achieve the same color while animating an object. Moving shadows are a real pain in a rotating object add 4 tones of color in the shadows and you have 4 or 8 times longer work of animation with much more costs. Having a lot of details in characters limits it's animation, spreads the time of drawing so the budget too. Thanks a lot to computer coloring and shading... And now thanks to IA One more issue is the perspective, those are perfect but it will show defincies when moving, you can see that in Nausicäa of the Wind Valley. When you align objects one behind the other animators copy the one in front. According to perspective there are small changes but they are so small that the regular eye won't notice a thing. In this animation you can see subtle differences in objects aligned. Such detail is almost only achieved by computers. So... No computers for the 90s. This looks like 2010 - 2015 due to the power of computers needed.
Interesting how the motif of repeated instances of a thing echoing away to perspective (particularly the picture with the ornithopters flying here) is so tighly associated with Dune artwork. From the old Bruce Pennington book covers originally I think.
It's amazing, like, it looks almost as if the AI understands what the things are, like, as a concept. It seems to understand what sandworms are supposed to be, for example.
There is something similar to an '80s anime of Dune, and it is Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Think about it: _There's a desolated world, most of which is infertile if non desertic, and the nature in general is very hostile to the human species _To go to the hostile territories you need the proper clothes, the musk in Nausicaa and the stillsuit in Dune _The insects are the creatures which are the fittest to live in the world in Nausicaa, just like the worms are in Dune _The insects along with the poisonous forests in Nausicaa are responsible for a natural process which makes the land fertile and unpolluted again, so they are the true solution to the unlivability of the world. In Dune there's something very similar: (*SPOILER FOR FUTURE MOVIES, THESE ARE INFOS FROM THE BOOK*), the worms along with the spice are responsible for a natural process which brings to the accumulation of water, so they are the true solution to the unlivability of the world too. _There is in both cases a population that manages to find an equilibrium with the environment they live in (people in the valley of the wind, which correspond to the Fremens) _The protagonists are the respective leaders of these populations (Nausicaa such as Paul Atreides); they are the ones who will understand the processes I talked about earlier and will try to carry them forward _The antagonists are very big empires (Tolmekia and the Empire), which don't understand the very profound meaning of the natures of the worlds. So the empires go against the people who are more respectful to the natures itselves (the valley and the Fremens again) As you can see the similarities are big. That's not a random thing, Miyazaki has said that he was inspired to Dune's book for his movie.
If you get a chance to read the manga (which Miyazaki also wrote), I highly recommend it. I have a feeling that Miyazaki had to make a lot of painful decisions to cut out certain things for the movie. That said, the giant mechs at the end are done better in the movie.
I really think that only animation can convey the complexity and deepness of such a masterwork with the time and pace it requires to unfold its richness. Even if animation is relatively costly compared live action, its vastly cheaper when no vfx are implemented in post-production, everything is animated together, or in a very tight fashion.
The colors and overall style of this is amazing. It is definitely believable as movie clips. I love everything but the sandworms. I could not reconcile the hinged jaw and giant teeth with the books.
Dune would probably make a better anime than a live action movie. I think the animators would be able to better bring the imagery described in the series to light.
New video is up! Make sure to check ruclips.net/video/uUjptDUxpKE/видео.html
