You know what, I hope this whole thing spawns an indie art direction in video games to make landscape look like 80s matte paintings. There's something about them that's so evocative.
I think a big reason is those films were a perfect mix of passion and quality. Sure they were made somewhat cheaply, but you could tell the people in those films were having fun.
Absolutely, a video game, or, could you imagine a high-budget film shot in this style? Using lots of props and set pieces instead of all the shitty VFX we get these days? Peter Jackson's LotR was almost this, just the overall direction and style were more lifelike and gritty instead of the 80s more matte, clean aesthetic as you say.
I have been floating around the idea of a Morrowind prequel series that takes place during the Battle of Red Mountain. However none of the major streaming services seem to be capable of making live action fantasy that is loyal to the source material.
Might not be Morrowind. But the movies Dark Crystal and Conan the barbarian were both inspirational to Morrowind and they have similar aesthetic especially dark crystal has lots of the weirdness.
Video wise may be more or less about Telvanni thematic. In lore, Telvanni are the most racist but also the most keen on use of slaves because Telvanni cannot be bother by duties or politics-it's all proxies, even the council has Speakers instead of the actual Lords. They are too busy being mad scientists, er sorcerers. Telvanni favor as servants and mercenaries: Bosmer, Bretons and Khajiit (only if bought young to keep them off moon sugar) Otherwise they don't have to time to constantly beat/whip their useless kleptomaniac junkie servant. Telvanni fight a lot amongst themselves by stealing and sabotaging opponents, with the occasional assasination under the table. So Bosmer and Khajiit are useful. Telvanni appreciate Breton genius for both theory and experimental side of magicka research. Also they are humble and let Telvanni save face unlike Altmers.
@@DMIwriter ashlanders are definitely fremen the whole nervarine may be real may just be smart people abusing superstition was another very dune thing, and the telnavi to me always felt like the twilaxul of the later books, it was mad trippy my first play through I was a Breton named muadib, without any knowledge of Morrowind
Yes, Dune and Star Wars sand scavengers and Morrowind all share this same special corner of fantasy that's like sand and bandits and bugs and shells and goggles and I really don't know the genre but it's a thing
You can clearly see some of the stuff the AI pulled from. I'm getting a distinct Star Wars and Dune (David Lynch) feel a lot of these images, it fits the weirdness of Morrowind *perfectly*. Too bad it struggled so much with the dunmer.
I suspect it draws on the Dark Crystal and other Henson Company movies as well. Maybe other 80s flicks like Krull, Hawk the Slayer, Neverending Story, Conan and maybe even He-Man the Movie. Probably more too.
Sheogorath looks magnificent. He looks exactly like how I would envision him in a live action setting. Swole Caius is pretty great too. It's funny how the AI gave him wrinkly skin folds like he should have at his age (mid 60s?).
The AI seems to have a lot harder time with morrowind vs skyrim, darksouls and game of thrones etc. This is the one that has come closest to Morrowind aesthetic of all the ones I've seen so far. Well done you n'wah!
Same. Haven't played in 15 years and running Wood elf with stealth, security, marksman, conjuration, short blade, alchemy, completely different from anything I messed with when I was younger and I'm loving it
I laughed out loud at poor Tarhiel lying on the ground outside Sceda Neen (I mean, no context was given for the image itself, but it was an elderly human wizard, dead, lying on the ground -- it was pretty obvious who the image is referencing). Also, nice touch with the terrifyingly bulky Silt Strider! I would have liked to see a few of Dagoth Ur's Ascended Sleepers, but overall, I thought Henson Studios did a magnificent job with 1984's "MOON AND STAR -- Rise of the Hortator!"
2:10 Oh my God hes handsome. Thank you Ai art for blessing us with a live action take of Sheogorath. 3:24 Oh. The ai art did not do Dagoth justice. They turned him into skelator.
The fact, that Morrowind has like 3 and a half min. of a video, while most of other 80s AI generated things on YT have like minute and half, says alot about how good Morrowind is !!!
What a satisfaction it gives when you recognize the place or the character the picture is based on and can even imagine it as original Morrowind 3d graphics
I like how everybody is use A.I. to recreate the 80's I think it would be awesome to have that creativity with modern special effects that somehow adds to it without taking us out of that time period.
the mental images i produce of things ive never seen before have the exact sort of feel and context to them that ive only seen with these ai things. kinda cool
Now just imagine when we have AI programs that can make whole movies. We'll have hundreds of instances of this thing or that thing made into films in this retro style and the people shall pick the best one to uphold. It will be amazing.
The real disappointment for me has been how the anti-AI side is overwhelmed with solely appeals to emotion and calls to somehow litigate the problem away. With Stable Diffusion being open source, it's already too late for that to work.
deeply touching for this 90's kid the music and choice of imagery is amazing i genuinely thank you for making this . seems so few people were inspired like we were by certain movies etc i feel like david from Prometheus the movie compared to most people and this is pure brainfood
I would have liked to see more representations of the dark elves with the Morrowind aesthetics, especially the hypothetical looks of the Nerevarine, but otherwise, amazing.
Someone needs to show Dan Avidan this. I think he'd love this cos of his love of The Dark Crystal and similar 80s fantasy films, and for Morrowind in his "college days"
This is quite magnificent! Really enjoyed this take on Morrowind. The AI is struggling to capture a consistent Dunmer look, the costumes are outstanding but it looks like they are fitted onto different races. Morrowind is certainly the most alien of the Elder Scrolls franchises so no doubt it's more difficult to generate unique envisioning's without leaning too much of other IPs. Love it though, the Telvanni, Sadrith Mora, all such great reimagining.
Eu quero um filme verdadeiro disso, um filme com esse aspecto dos anos 80. eu não sei como o Midjourney consegue criar esse estilo de filmagem mas esse programa poderia recriar um filme com esses graficos e esses filtros ? eu adoro filmes com esse aspecto que só os filmes dos anos 70 e 80 possuem.
Infelizmente hoje em dia fica muito mais barato investir em arte e animação digital do que usar efeitos práticos, seria interessante um mercado de nicho sobre filmes modernos com efeitos especiais práticos.
@@satansjihad6353 concordo, esses efeitos precisam voltar, não só os efeitos praticos mas esse aspecto mais serio que os filmes tinham antes, os filtros usados , você percebe que o branco não é completamente branco, é branco esverdeado e tem bastante brilho, mas é algo diferenciado que só esses filmes possuem e é quase impossivel reproduzir da mesma forma hoje em dia mas o Midjourney ta conseguindo isso
Interessante que esse estilo específico é o único que consegue capturar a essência do Morrowind. Ainda acho que faltava algumas coisas para o ar de fantasia único e alien que o jogo possui, mas está muito bom. Morrowind é como se fosse a encarnação das nossas fantasias infantis depois de ter visto vários desses filmes fantasioso/sci fi dos anos 80 e 90
Great job! I wish Saga Frontier (game) could have similar procedure. This game is a mix of cyberpunk, futuristic, fantasy, modern, medieval, ancient and many other atmospheres in a single universe. I wonder what a movie based on this game would look like
IMO it makes a lot of sense. It really makes the structures seem ancient and mysterious, and the beings, such as the Dunmer with glowing yellow eyes that have multiple pupils, otherworldly and magical.
I'm going through these like, "okay, I'm impressed by how consistently it managed to hit a style for 'swamp mushroom village'," and I'm looking in particular for hands to see how many fingers people have, and other AI cues and such. And then the mud crab. That eldritch, walking-on-clawtips, hands-made-of-hamburger, what-the-FUCK-is going-on-with-the-eyes mud crab. Goddamn.
I have an idea which has been bugging me all night at work. The Neighborhood of Make-believe as an epic 80's fantasy movie. Hear me out. The Neighborhood of Make-believe shares a lot of stuff with say... He-man and Eternia, or even Dark Souls. You've got a castle with a monarchy who are kinda crazy. You've got a world tree guarded by a talking owl and cat, you've got an antiquated rotating museum inhabited by a witch in red, you've got a sentient trolley car. It works, and I wanna see it please.

I almost choked when I saw the dude on the ground with the blue and yellow robe... like, we all know what happened and I love it!!
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I took almost all of this seriously because it's so well made, but when I saw Tarhiel on the ground I couldn't help burst out laughing.
"what only using the acrobatics scroll on the way up does to a mf" lmao
Vivec
The Tarhiel bit is the best. It's in the style of a super-well painted 1800s romantic painting, yet the real contex....
You know what, I hope this whole thing spawns an indie art direction in video games to make landscape look like 80s matte paintings. There's something about them that's so evocative.
Hell yes!
Dude 100%!

@@biggusy25 Oh yeah, today's VFX mixed with real set pieces and makeup would look dope.
Mel gibson as sheogorath is actually pretty perfect
more like Joaquin Phoenix
he reminded me of jack black lol
Sean Connery
I saw Mel Gibson as well. I guess it's telling on one's age who they saw. But it looks strikingly like him.
Steve Carell
So cool. Now I want a Morrowind movie.
I have been floating around the idea of a Morrowind prequel series that takes place during the Battle of Red Mountain. However none of the major streaming services seem to be capable of making live action fantasy that is loyal to the source material.
If it ever becomes a thing, we need the people that worked on Dark Crystal to make it!
What a grand and intoxicating innocence
Might not be Morrowind. But the movies Dark Crystal and Conan the barbarian were both inspirational to Morrowind and they have similar aesthetic especially dark crystal has lots of the weirdness.
@@robertedmond6596 Cool story, bro.
It's weird that House Telvanni does not have any Dunmers

#telvanniTooWhite
das racist!!!!!!!!!
The Great Houses have strong Dune vibes. I always kind of thought of Morrowind as the Dune of fantasy games.
I never thought of that but it works so well!
I believe (not 100% sure) Kirkbride is on record saying the Ashlanders take inspiration from the Fremmen

@@nakenmil yes I felt dark crystal
Dark Crystal meets Conan the Barbarian.
sheogorath - here you can clearly see Sean Connery from Highlander
the armor stuff looks like its just mythic knights lol
Sheogorath looks magnificent. He looks exactly like how I would envision him in a live action setting. Swole Caius is pretty great too. It's funny how the AI gave him wrinkly skin folds like he should have at his age (mid 60s?).
Uncle Sheo's teeth look amazing! Getting a less portly Jack Black vibe. lol
@@lanzm1521 Man you're right! He DOES look like Jack Black if he was skinnier. He's even rocking the Jablinski beard lol
He kinda also has those wrinkles in the actual game itself
What do you call nostalgia when you've never experienced something
Phantom Nostalgia/Memory
It’s called “Anemoia”
No-stalgia
@@borupensenpai5205 thats a good one
Nostalgi-aint
The AI seems to have a lot harder time with morrowind vs skyrim, darksouls and game of thrones etc. This is the one that has come closest to Morrowind aesthetic of all the ones I've seen so far.
Well done you n'wah!
Well that might be due to the more alien apperance of the land, the culture, the buildings and the inhabitants of it
What ai is this
@@samiulhaq5373 midjourney, mentioned in the description
that image of dagoth ur is probably one of the hardest things ive ever seen in my life to be frank.
This is pretty much exactly how I imagine a live action Morrowind would look. The aestethic is spot on.
First we were using AI to create Morrowind as an 80's movie, now we're using AI to make Dagoth Ur fully voiced ... what an incredible time!
What a grand and intoxicating essence!
Jesus I can almost imagine some of the characters talking, scenes playing out, would be fantastic.
This is making me want to watch 1980's style movies. Like Merlin with Sam Neil. Such a classic!
Excalibur
Elder Scrolls in the 80s would be such a treat
Caius looks pretty accurate 🗿🔥
Sheogorath turned out to be Mel Gibson
This was incredible, I especially loved the Temple of Azura and Dagoth Ur at the end.
I'm actually in the middle of a Morrowind playthrough, this came as a pleasant surprise
Same. Haven't played in 15 years and running Wood elf with stealth, security, marksman, conjuration, short blade, alchemy, completely different from anything I messed with when I was younger and I'm loving it
the wood elf concept looks like a nice prototype to build up in a game
Agreed, the image is impressive indeed
2:10 featuring Mel Gibson as Sheogorath
02:08 Sheogorath from Mad Max
I laughed out loud at poor Tarhiel lying on the ground outside Sceda Neen (I mean, no context was given for the image itself, but it was an elderly human wizard, dead, lying on the ground -- it was pretty obvious who the image is referencing). Also, nice touch with the terrifyingly bulky Silt Strider! I would have liked to see a few of Dagoth Ur's Ascended Sleepers, but overall, I thought Henson Studios did a magnificent job with 1984's "MOON AND STAR -- Rise of the Hortator!"
I could totally see David Cronenberg doing the practical effects for the Ascended Sleepers.
It's a shame they made Tarhiel a human but kept his Boiche name, though.
0:00 Look at me Hector
Sheogorath looks like an emaciated jack black. I like it.
This is exactly what I imagined when I played Morrowind years ago! Still my favorite!
It is as if Neverending Story main writer was Kirkbride, who lived next door to Tony Montanta.
This dagoth ur is absolutely terrifying!
As he should be!
The imperial legions uniform slaps, ngl
2:10
Oh my God hes handsome.
Thank you Ai art for blessing us with a live action take of Sheogorath.
3:24
Oh.
The ai art did not do Dagoth justice. They turned him into skelator.
For an 80s dark fantasy film of morrowind it fits perfectly though
Wonderful Sheogorath, and I was actually impressed by the Dagoth Ur one. I recognized him and thought that was interesting.

Don't even get me started on Maurrie Aurmine- found her on my first playthrough, lost her multiple times and ended up getting gutted by two Kagouti's.
Won't you help her in the NAME OF LOVE?
Not as bad as my first playthough. I tried building a thief, and I got killed by a rat.
@@dunmermage "I will never forget you."
Morrowind escort quests are... just don't.
I would love it if they did Elder Scrolls alla David Lynch s Dune!
2:35 That boy CREEPIN'
Make it make an entire movie i want to watch it!!!
the mental images i produce of things ive never seen before have the exact sort of feel and context to them that ive only seen with these ai things. kinda cool
Best one so far. One could recognize Pelagiad just by looking. Perfect blend of Vvanderfell likeness and 80's nostalgia. Kudos
Need a version with Morrowind Main Theme
nah this music actually fits what an old school fantasy movie would more likely sound like on a budget lacking the copyright for the music haha
0:01 ohhhh my skooma
That is some prompting, nice compilation it's very good :)
thx

Damn. Trebonius Artorius has been polishing that head
I would have liked to see more representations of the dark elves with the Morrowind aesthetics, especially the hypothetical looks of the Nerevarine, but otherwise, amazing.
'You've finally arrived! But our records don't show from where...'
This is like a mushroom trip in a thai massage parlour.
AI is going to kill CGI
hot take
Oblivion as 90s Movie next please
1:23 Fort Pelagiad just got the vibes sheesh
Despite some shortcomings, pretty impressive! Thx DV! Liked, subbed.
I wish I could have such graphics in the game
I like how Tebonius Artorius has a really shiny head
Someone needs to show Dan Avidan this. I think he'd love this cos of his love of The Dark Crystal and similar 80s fantasy films, and for Morrowind in his "college days"
The Caius Cosades one is too accurate
Bruh i love AI's.
yes

its mind blowing to think an ai can create such gorgeous images.. i would print out at least a couple of those
0:00 Robert Picardo as Caius Cosades
0:10 Père Fouras as Socucius Ergalla
Next time: *Darkest Dungeon* as an 80's dark fantasy movie
I was even thinking Caius could've been played by Sean Connery
Caius looked more like Christopher Lloyd/ Emmet Brown from Back to the Future with shortened hair.
Caius Cosades looks like the actor Ernest Borgnine circa his role in the classic 80's show Airwolf, and Sheogorath looks like Mel Gibson today :)

The end of actors IRL
Please make movie or Game like this
I was really hoping to see Fargoth
Dude this amazing. Thank you for posting.
Someday, someone will mod this into the game.
IMO it makes a lot of sense. It really makes the structures seem ancient and mysterious, and the beings, such as the Dunmer with glowing yellow eyes that have multiple pupils, otherworldly and magical.
They got Mel Gibson to play Sheogorath!
At 2:10 I totally was getting Crassius Curio vibes from that guy 😂😂😂😂 before realizing you had it labeled as "Sheo"
Sheogorath looks awesome.
I'm going through these like, "okay, I'm impressed by how consistently it managed to hit a style for 'swamp mushroom village'," and I'm looking in particular for hands to see how many fingers people have, and other AI cues and such. And then the mud crab. That eldritch, walking-on-clawtips, hands-made-of-hamburger, what-the-FUCK-is going-on-with-the-eyes mud crab. Goddamn.
This is beautiful
Lore accurate right from the start: Caius is shirtless. Midnight Premiere for me!
Finally, been looking for one of these
This was great. This is the era of fantasy I grew up with, so this is always what I see in my head!
1:50 Umbra looks like a gigachad
I love how Jack Black shows up in the middle to yell, "Who's riding bugs to Mushroomtown? This guy!"
God damn it AI these snippets make me sad. It's like a window into a parallel universe where cool stuff was made by awesome people.
this is the coolest shit ever
you should do skyrim, baldurs gate and borderlands...bro you should never stop...go forth...
I have an idea which has been bugging me all night at work.
The Neighborhood of Make-believe as an epic 80's fantasy movie.
Hear me out.
The Neighborhood of Make-believe shares a lot of stuff with say... He-man and Eternia, or even Dark Souls.
You've got a castle with a monarchy who are kinda crazy.
You've got a world tree guarded by a talking owl and cat, you've got an antiquated rotating museum inhabited by a witch in red, you've got a sentient trolley car.
It works, and I wanna see it please.
2:13 Sheogorath looks somewhat like Mel Gibson.
Loved it ! I wanna see that movie !!!! But the AI still goes BSOD when you ask it how many fingers does the human hand have...
I WANT TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!! Also Sheogorath looks like a cross between Jack Black and Joaquin Phoenix
I want to see this happen. The vibe checks out. This has a similar aesthetic to the new Dune movie.
The only A.I art I can get behind
What a time to be alive.
