Of course! I couldn't figure that bit out - I thought he was being sick! Probably was afterwards 😆 And I call myself a Tolkien fan, smh. So obvious once I read this.
I forgot that I subbed to this channel. Imagine my disappointment finding out this wasn't a real film. Yes yes .. before you say it .. I am dain bramaged.
It is a real movie: check 1924’s Die Nibelungen, a two-part fantasy film by legendary German director Fritz Lang: magic, strange creatures, dragons and epic battles. Trailer and movies can be found on YT.
The music is literally made with AI lol. For the other videos people say: "It's too serious, too slow, too fast, too fake, etc" if you want to write better copyright free music then please let me know I'd love to use it without paying you a fortune to do so :)
@@abandonedfilms Can't the AI be steered towards creating something similar to Wagner, Stravinsky, Sibelius etc? This is probably what NI would have used for a silent film like this one back in the 1920s, not *Ragtime* as if it were _The Sting_
LotR trailer set to Ragtime-esque music track is...interesting. Probably slayed it though when it was released back in the 20s! My, how technology and SFX have changed!
Sorry to be a downer, but most silent films were hand cranked and averaged out at 18 fps, hence they appear fast at 24 fps as of 1930. The slo mo wibbly-wobbly AI thing, while great for the colour grading of 1950's epics, really doesn't work in the silent film context. Check out some restored classics via the Criterion Collection (admittedly synced to modern sensibilities). I find your work compelling, but you're not watching what you try to re create in enough detail.
Also, I found that the camera is panning and dollying far too much for films of the period. I'm not saying it didn't happen but cameras were generally locked off
You do this better than anyone else. I wanted you to do some silent film versions for a long time. Love this. If you do a Return of the King trailer please use Errol Flynn as Legolas and either Lillian Gish or Joan Crawford as Galadriel. Can't wait to see it.
Oh my...can you just transplant your mini-movies into my brain so I can have fantastical daydreams all the time, please? It's a small request. Thanks. This is art. Usually can't say that about AI, like at all, but with some of these films the potential as a creative tool is clear. Well done.
That piano music is so hip! Is that AI too? It’s like right but wrong. I really really like it! It’s like James P. Johnson but misfiring with some Monkisms.
Just my opinion but, the piano music is wrong - the pianists didn't just play jaunty music, they used different, atmospheric music that suited scenes. Maybe the music was created by the AI too, I don't know. Otherwise, I love the different takes that have been done on the Tolkien films. The other films too but, especially Tolkien (big Tolkien fan), I can't wait for the next one, x
Great edition as always... TERRIBLE music choice. You could have used some great orchestration music from, like Wagner type... Not this silly Chaplinesque stuff.

try accelerating the footage it was common practice back then, especially for action scenes, also the framerate was lower so everything moved a little faster. Even in x2 it's not quite fast enough
Why is everything slo-mo? In a real silent film, everything is sped up and jerky. Also, the faces should be exaggerated and emotive, like wide grins and such. That's how they made up for the lack of sound.
Aragorn spitting out Eowyn's soup should have come right after the card saying "In the Land of Rohan".
Is THAT what was going on? I thought he was slurping up some disgusting substance. Same thing, I guess?
@@HungryCats70Eowyn was not known for her cooking skills. Even the Nazgul feared her cooking.
I AM NO CHEF ‼️
Of course! I couldn't figure that bit out - I thought he was being sick!

@@rickvandijk
Yeah but that was something unrelated - Tolkien hadn't even written this til decades later. 👍
@@rickvandijk Very cool .. thank you! ☮
Wow amazing Hollywood made a lord of the rings movie before it was written
"The journey is far from over "
Indeed.
AI has a really long path ahead and I'm excited to see more.
Gollum stood out big time, that was awesome. The armies walking on the wall was well done too.
Gollum looked awesome!
The visuals are brilliant.
The music is far too JAUNTY!!! The 1920s DID actually have other music apart from jaunty jazz, you know!
Exactly. I commented the same. Thanks for pointing this out.
I think the music is super hip! If that’s AI I am gonna be scared

that helms deep looks even more epic and grand
I guess my love of silent film has been rekindled.

You and me both need to get laid, bro. (Preferably not with each other, though.) 👍

Make one that's better.
🤦🏻
Was about to say the same, i love this channel and all the work here but the 1920s version just feel wrong being so smooth and slowmo
Good work. I wish the music fitted the story/scenes.
I think that’s the point. Silent movie music didn’t necessarily do that.
@@triggerfingerstudiosI think some did. Even if it was just speeding up the music or switching to a more dramatic tune during action sequences..
You do this better than anyone else. I wanted you to do some silent film versions for a long time. Love this. If you do a Return of the King trailer please use Errol Flynn as Legolas and either Lillian Gish or Joan Crawford as Galadriel. Can't wait to see it.
yeah... I've been waiting for silent films.... the 50s ones are kind of boring.. not different enough.
Gollum and Treebeard look awesome.
Just the way I remember it!
Oh my...can you just transplant your mini-movies into my brain so I can have fantastical daydreams all the time, please? It's a small request. Thanks.

That Gollum was awesome. And unhinged
I loved him, and treebeard.
1:01 wtf is happening here lol
My exact words seeing this!!
You're totally just peaking, man - that's a straightforward shot of Keanu Reeves at a drinking fountain. 👍
He's meant to be spitting out Eowyn's stew
You can't unsee it.
@@abandonedfilms It must be worse than we thought.
Chris Kattan as Frodo and Nick Nolte as Sam.
Nailed it!
Ghost Rider - 1950’s Super Panavision 70.
Well, this is different! Nice. And Eowyn... and her soup!
Una obra maestra 👏👏👏👏👏🤗👍
Lon Chaney as Gollum. Another masterful make-up job.
The music is hilarious!
Olde Timey
Yeah doesn't quite fit the mood.
Yeh. Terrible choice. Considering there was epic orchestration for this kind of films, already.
They used to have piano players behind the curtains playing silent movies. I think it’s a perfect choice.
@@daniels.os. You've haven't seen many silent films have you? Also it's AI music, if you can do better I'd love to use that instead.
It's just so entertaining.
Prestige silent films could be played in big cinemas with full orchestra accompaniment you know…
The craziest thing about this, you guys only have 165k subscribers?? that's more mind blowing than these videos😢
“They’re Taking the Hobbits to Isengard!” Yeah I caught that! Nice one
This was so awesome
AI Wormtongue is less creepy than real Wormtongue. All hail Brad Dourif!
Thanks god the cut that scene with Aragorn puking the stew in the final cut haha
I WISH this was a whole full-length film!
We should send this film to outer space in case aliens find it so they would think we're really weird.
And send us a digitally created sauron
Quirky and simply spectacular!
😅😅😅❤❤❤
Well, the books weren’t written until 1954-55
How to say that you have no imagination whatsoever without saying it
Should have made it move really fast like those old movies did.
The stew... man, oh man.... 😆😆😆😆
They actually would have used organ music for this back then.
That piano music is so hip! Is that AI too? It’s like right but wrong. I really really like it! It’s like James P. Johnson but misfiring with some Monkisms.

The piano should have been more dramatic, but overall it was great. Nobody does this stuff better than Abandoned Films!

jajajaj el Arargon con la sopa asquerosa 😁😁😁
Frodo & Sam look like Jeff Bridges and Jim Carrey from Dumb n Dumber.
Just as long as it's a "Jeff"
1:01 = What the hell? 🤨
This was absolutely not on my bingo card 😂
1:02 Aragorn tastes Eowyn's stew.
Looks more like barfing, lol.
Wow, very nice
20 days without uploading video, what happened to them?
He was "going silent"!! 😅 Apparently.
Which software are you using?
Can you make it so that instead of everything being in slow motion it’s actually faster than usual as silent movies usually are?
That doesn't quite work for 1920s, you should have fast jittery motion and a lot of cuts -- this is nice-looking but way too smooth and slow-mo
LOLOL @1:00 Aragon throwing up her strew.
try accelerating the footage it was common practice back then, especially for action scenes, also the framerate was lower so everything moved a little faster. Even in x2 it's not quite fast enough
1:01 WTF?
have you ever thought about making a whole (narrated) movie, I mean you can do it or split it into parts/chapters, i think it would be awesome
I see Eowyn's stew really hit the spot 1:00
These are f’n awesome
do Charlie Chaplin in Star Wars
I want to see the complete movie. Looks far better than rings of power.
Figured the 1 dislike would be from Grima Wormtongue.
what kind of software is needed for this?
That was good.
This is more frightening than the actual novel
1:27 is a crazy fusion of Bernard Hill and Karl Urban.
Brilliant. 😂 but you missed a trick.
Old movies were very much face to face dialogue scenes.
... and they were faster paced.
Soooooooooooooooooooooo good! No, GREAT!
1:00 That's vile
Whats missing is the projector screen shake, otherwise perfect:)
Try doing some horror - nightmare on elm street etc I’d love to see what you’d come up with.
This is how long Jackson's franchise should have lasted, sans the superlatives.
When AI will stop Sidestepping maybe the world will return Moving Forward
great CGI take on a 1020's style film!
Pretty sure even if Lord of The Rings had been written by the 1920s they wouldn't have used jazz piano as the soundtrack.

Ai getting spooky good....
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉😢😮😅
Joder...que wapooo😮
i don’t think a silent film would have been all in slow motion. they’re usually sped up…
This one is better. Somebody make it right damn now.
The Stew!!!
The book wasn’t written until the 1950s. Interesting project though.
"Coming to a theater in your country"
I hope Sam has a good hair day one day.
THE RAGTIME MUSIC TOPS IT!!!
Awwww..... You should've sped up the AI vids to like 4x! 😂
Yes🙂
Would've been 4x shorter then.
Dommage que l'image soit trop nette et que les ralentis ne rendent pas l'ensemble cohérent
Mais les visages et expressions sont excellents
I love you AI
I think you're giving the 1920s too much credit for cinematography.
🔇My favourite character was Shhhhmeagol.
Please do Battlestar Galactica next
1920s, 1940s film noir or 1950s?
This would be cool if it was real
isengard isengard they're taking the hobbits to isengard
So ... a 1920 film of a book written 1937-1949 and published 1950? Cool ...
I expect that Alito and Thomas looked at historic legal precedent during the Jurassic Age rather than consider reality.
If it's a silent film then why is music playing? 🤷
Because silent movies used music.
@@cabmangray1423 so they aren't really silent then, are they? This is false advertising. I want my money back!
Give us rambo in both panavision and black and white silent.
