[@EchoesofEä]

I am speechless for so many messages and support, Each message and expression of appreciation resonates in my heart like an echo of the Great Music. Thank you, truly, for your words and for walking together in this shared vision. Let us continue forward, creating beauty and harmony with each step along the way.

Pls the episode 3!!! This is perfection

[@a.g.1893]

You have done an amazing job! Congratulations! I have always wanted to see The Silmarillion, specially the first two chapters, on screen. I lost hope after amazon destroyed the second age, but this is a universe of fresh oxigen. Thank you for this, it's an old dream from highschool that I never thought I would see! May God bless you and I hope this message motivates you to do the entire book. Cheers from Chile. 👍

Desde Argentina, increíble trabajo. Gracias por dar forma a la imagen que estaba guardada sólo en la imaginación. Muchos van a poder acercarse a la narración fantástica más importante de la historia. Saludos!

[@hanham963]

I just cant wait for Episode 3.

[@joshschleh8119]

Excellent. I love the overall tone you have created. The intangible concepts of the Beginning of Days are so hard to capture in a visual narrative, and do well. This feels like a real movie, unfolding in real time and inviting the viewer in. I am amazed at your achievement with this because the text of the Silmarillion does not flow like a linear story. We get so many things listed out for context, but then the narrative flow of the story gets lost as we back up to mention important events, and then jump forward to go to other events, and the actual story does not unfold in the way most people are used to. Most of my friends get lost in the beginning. But those of us who've been crazy enough to read it over and over, begin to see a story take shape that is one of the best ever told. I know we're just in the second episode here, but THIS finds that sweet spot. You've included just enough of the exposition without slowing down the pace. And doing a good job of bringing life and internal motivations to the characters. I am delighted to get to walk along with them. The visuals are beautiful (I can't imagine how hard making, mixing together and matching the visuals all of that music was) but the story is where this really shines. Well done. Thank you for putting real thought and care into this.

[@EchoesofEä]

Wow, thank you very much for your words, each episode is a challenge, both visually and narratively, and if Silamrillion is very complex I always hope to improve with each episode,

[@mbeu15a]

I agree 100%. It has been very well done, with care and love for the original work and condensing it just enough to make it flow beautifully.

[@joshschleh8119]

@@EchoesofEä you are doing very well! I am excited to watch this unfold. I you ever require an assist on the technical side, like a particularly challenging shot, or something let me know. I'm a producer and an editor with a lot of experience at fixing challenging shots.

[@EchoesofEä]

@@joshschleh8119 Thank you so much, I'm learning about color grading and I want it to be more consistent, so I'm using Davinci resolve, I'll let you know when the wars start, those are going to be quite a challenge.

[@joshschleh8119]

@@EchoesofEä That's great! Davinci resolve is probably the best tool, in my opinion. It's free; and Adobe is so buggy it can be infuriating. I'd be glad to help. I'm pretty useful with After Effects. It can help with fixing and masking tricky shots too.

[@AlexJamesOliver]

This is something I've wanted to exist for so longgg, thank you EoE! Amazon looking more cooked right now then the sons of Finarfin post Dagor Bragollach bwhaha

[@AlexJamesOliver]

I do wish that the discord of Melkor audibles were just a weee bit darker tonally, like some Sardaukar chanting on Salusa Secundus in that Dune: Part One scene peppered in.

[@joew9690]

When i read your comment i laugh deep like TULKAS when he asscend on EA to Fight Melkor !

it's a nice touch that illuvatar was depicted as human while the ainur looked like elves

best thing I've seen on youtube in a decade, it's truly reminding me of why this medium is so important in the first place, the ability for anyone to bring stories to life and share them

[@karasaunty9823]

Stunning production. Truly lovely. Disconcerting to hear the Valar with American accents, see facial hair, and there are some mispronunciations of the names of Tolkein's characters; but, overall, amazing work. The Silmarillion is actually my favourite Tolkien novel; to see it so splendidly visualised was not something I was expecting. Thank you for this early Christmas gift!

[@medicosays]

I best love the part you showed Yavanna showing seed of life in water , just in line with how modern theory of evolution tells us that all life behan in water and from a same ancestor and then projected in many direction!!!

[@eonwe3559]

The Tolkien estate doesn't wanna give the rights of the Silmarillion away. That's okay. We have this channel.

[@MidnightKristiGames]

I love how the opening of the Silmarillion is being represented as it should - as a creation story - so good!

[@robertolsen8423]

This is amazing! You should be advising Amazon on how to make a Tolkien series. I think J.R.R. Tolkien himself would be very pleased. Thank you for all of your hard work, it's much appreciated.

Solo dios sabe cuanto tiempo espere despues de leer los libros y ver una vision de este mundo, P.

[@louisalaimo2122]

JEEZ!!! This is absolute masterpiece!!!! It exactly looks and sounds like everyone can imagine while reading the books. Many times, i heard the audio book of the silmarillion, now, with this amazing serie, i got sounds and images forever! Thank you so much @ Echoes of Eä for sharing!

[@Maxpayne000-j4j]

Keep em comin bro. We might never get a Silmarillion movie series by Jackson or any good movie producer/director but this is a close second as long as it follows Tolkien's work. Already liked and subscribed. 👍

[@calvinpaul4456]

EoE for the win!!!!!!! So freaking goood!!!!! The scream from Melkor:) more please.

[@PseudoNym100]

That was sooooooo cheesy..... It was bad.

[@TomásMartinez-f7u]

The beginning of the Silmarillion is so abstract and metaphoric that even imagining everything while you read is hard, it is really impressive what you could achive with few resources. Puts in perspective what could be done in Rings of Power and brings even more shame to amazon. Keep your work of creation! the hardest part is almost over! and confirms to us all that what is good and fair, creates. While the darkness is only capable of twisting and ruining what is already created but cannot produce anything of its own

[@egoegoone]

Its an absolute crime that this does not have more views!

He aquí que en esta obra magna y este gran trabajo, he hallado el pensamiento del autor, más que ningún otro lugar; más que aún en la serie misma del Señor de los anillos los anillos del poder. He aquí que he encontrado más profundamente en este breve episodio el corazón de Tolkien, más fidedigna más real que en cualquiera otra obra cinematográfica anterior. Felicidades a aquellos que compusieron tan maravillosa y magistral pieza de arte.

[@jeremyprinzen5954]

I love how faithful you remain to the sourcework while also giving your own interpretations on how the Ainur, Melkor and Iluvatar all look! An amazing portion of the narrative wound together with the Three Themes and then the initial strife between the Valar and Melkor. I particularly love how you see the similarities and differences between both Manwe and Melkor, notably seen in Manwe's silvery-white hair and Melkor's dark, allowing those who haven't read the books to see that they are brothers and yet different because one remained faithful and the other corrupted himself

Damn, dude.... K so fr not usually a fan of AI-generated images/media, BUT this is pure genius. Best compliment I can think of is to say that if J.R.R. was still with us, he would approve. The way the Great Music evolved from "Gregorian monks choir" to "Baroque" was a stroke of brilliance. Warning's fair---you have given me a new obsession. Now stop reading all this flattery and go make more. NOWWWWW. Why are you still reading when you should be making Pt. 3???? GO!!!!!!

Big thumbs up from Sweden, amazing episodes so far. Your mind and a multimillion dollar budget could truly make Tolkiens Silmarillion come to life on the big screen, nothing I thought were possible.

[@YuriWOhana]

This is worthy of Professor Tolkien's work. In comparison, Amazon, through Prime Video, with a lot of money, managed to make that piece of shit called Rings of Power. Which has nothing to do with Professor Tolkien's work. It uses the name of the work, but does not convey the essence of the work. This channel is showing that the big film studios are no longer necessary. The owner of the channel and the person responsible for creating the AI ​​are to be congratulated. They can now create their own stories, their own fantasies, their own superheroes.

[@MrElladion]

You give us hope,keep up the good work.

[@djDenimusic]

People bashing Amazon have no idea what copyrights are.. the Tolkien estate will not sell right to Silmarillion to anyone for any amount of money. Thus Amazon is working whit what rights they have (hobbit, 3 books and apendancies) and they dared to touch the second age with that is brave. Im not defending the show, its bad writing and moments that are shit but still we have to be thankful for anything we get! Also thank God for the ppl like EoE that make content like this so we can imagine and enjoy what a real movie or ahow would look like.. Thank You for this!
