I was astounded after five minutes watching and listening to discover this is out here … in the public domain … for free! Or more to the point, whatever you’d like to pay!
Both sound and visuals are impressive. I’ve enjoyed about twenty minutes of it, so far. While I’m listening to the gorgeous soundtrack interspersing the songs, I’m studying (enjoying!) the visuals.
An amazing amount of work has gone into them! It’s possible of course there some AI involved but so what? There’s such detail in each frame as to have required a great deal of work by the humans involved … cutting and pasting, detailed and intricate prompt engineering if any, hours upon hours in the workshop designing the different elements, composing the frames, researching the stories. And that’s just the visuals.
‘Page ends’ are a narrow strip between frames, and bear at least six little vignettes. The page ends do repeat every so often, but not frequently enough that I got bored seeing them again.
The ‘folk’ being extolled here is, I assume, the Old English/European Celtic culture. All the symbology points to it including Joan of Arc, The Green man, Wood Witches and stags. The European landscapes are varied with farm land, hills, forests, valleys and villages. The skies change from rain to stars to clouds and sunny gloamings. The ‘real’ rain drops that spill and spatter down the still frames slowly passing right to left are another creative strategy that help to tie everything together and set a bright tone.
With the pictures resembling high class black and white woodcuts, the ambience could be darker than it is. I think the gorgeous background soundtrack–of bird song, rain, and other natural sounds–does a lot to ameliorate the visual darkness. I can’t get over the bird song … seldom have I heard birdsong complementing vocals so well!
It’s obvious there is at least one very creative human being at the head of this production, though I would expect there to be more like a dozen creatives involved in this work of art. And my hat off to them! I’m a fan from this minute!
Thank you, Ogden Fahey for alerting me to this amazing production!
