A cunting for those odd-looking ‘AI generated’ Super panavision 1950s trailers on Youtube.
Not only do they look more like the films of the sixties, but they are composited of wildly anachronistic images that don’t fit with each other. Chesley Bonestell matte paintings with Toho studios rubber suited versions of Alien.
The other example was for the fifties version of Top Gun. The planes are WW2 era fighters but taking off from 60s era nuclear carriers..
Sloppy work.
There’s also use of visual effects that look like modern CGi rather than the rotoscoping you’d see in fifties Sci fi productions or modelwork/puppetry, and the lack of dynamism makes them look more like those old holograms of film scenes, flickering between two poses than multiple frames of footage.
Then there’s the sub par music and narration. Just doesn’t ring true for a film that wouldve been shot in Super Panavision (such as the Sound of Music or Ben Hur).
There are a couple of videos on how these abominations are created and it’s all algorithms and using pre-existing imagery tweaked in photoshop. There’s surprisingly little thought given to making them look as if they would if real fifties films.
Barry Norman would’ve thought they were complete wank.
