The Silmarillion: Nirnaeth Arnoediad Chapter 2

[@bottlethrower1544]

Merry Christmas. Thank you for honoring The Professors work.

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart! Thank you so much for your gesture!

[@legolasofmirkwood]

Epic!! You deserve all the praise for bringing to life this wonderful story. The sight of Glaurung is always so terrifying

[@anasentov1470]

You really did justice to this tragic tale! My poor Maedhros 😢 And Fingon's end is so poignantly described: "And his banner, blue and silver, they trampled into the mire of his blood"😭 The imagery is wonderful!

[@istari0]

Very well done! Looking forward to seeing more.

[@rio20d]

just an amazing work Cottage, also really love how you do the dwarves scene of belegost in here. Gothmog is a beast but glad to know that he died together with Ecthelion the fountain in the fall of Gondolin story.

[@cookienator7964]

Another great video. ! Wonderfully done. Every week I look forward to each and every one of your new vids. Amazon should take notes

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks so much for your support!

[@ShadowFlame7]

this is amazing, tolkien's world is so rich and epic

[@smokeyboi9365]

Top Notch Video! I'm looking forward to the next one!

[@crijofae1792]

Awesome work! Of all the AI- made Silmarillion videos, yours the best and nearly perfect. Thank you! ❤

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks so much for your words and support! im working on news for tomorrow!

[@crijofae1792]

❤️

[@sefademircioglu9875]

excellent effort and work, respect brother, continue like this

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks so much for your words and your visit!

[@a-lightful-forest]

Wow! That was really, really good! I especially like how Glaurung had no wings, true to the lore, yet still looked very menacing! I like the short dialogues you insert, make it feel even more alive. I had hoped that Hurin could shout his cry in Elvish as in the book, but I guess it was not possible as AI does not speak Quenya or Sindarin? Overall, great job!! I really appreciate your work!

[@pamelaholmcrawford2306]

There is still hope! Gorgeously done! Many thanks!

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks so much for your support!

[@AuldrinMusic]

It's amazing how much improvement there is with each new video, and to see you push through the software's limits! I know AI programs don't like to animate fight scenes, so seeing you pull off even a few contact hits is quite impressive.

[@jopay142]

Amazing! Awesome! Great work!! ...but for the records, and to amend small mistakes... "Last of all, H­úrin stood alone. Then he cast aside his shield, and wielded an axe two-handed; and it is sung that the axe smoked in the black blood of the TROLL-guard of Gothmog until it withered, and each time that he slew, Húrin cried: "Aurë entuluva! Day shall come again!" SEVENTY times he uttered that cry; but they took him at last alive, by the command of Morgoth, for the Orcs grappled him with their hands, which clung to him still though he hewed off their arms; and ever their number were renewed, until at last he fell buried beneath them." 70 trolls and countless orcs. The greatest human warrior, ever... followed closely by his son.

[@fred20097]

@@jopay142 cool, ty for that

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks a lot!

[@Lunzium]

Was looking through the comments to see if anyone else had written to rectify that particular mistake. Glad to see someone had. Well done

[@creepychannel9598]

Indeed the greatest.

[@diana.r.keller]

Absolutely captivating! Such a sad tale.. you presented it so so well. Thank you 😁

[@wiledog]

thank you for taking the time to depict all the characters as they are described in Tolkien's work. He would be proud!

[@pauloc-q7r]

Amazing work and some lovely imagery from the Silmarillion brought to life. I love watching your work. Even though I am not a fan of plate armour in Middle Earth because Tolkien writes that they wore mail coats, it still looks good. The biggest issue that stands out for me appears to be the AI generated voiceover. For e.g. Tour says “white wolves” when he means the white walls of Gondolin. His brother Hurin didn’t just fight goblins, he uttered his cry 70 times against Gothmog’s trolls, not just 7 times.

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks soo much!Yes, there are limitations because with these technologies you can’t do everything you want or in the way you want, such as pronunciations, images, movements, etc. If I had the budget they spent on the series...

[@pauloc-q7r]

@TheCottageofLostPlayI totally understand, what you have achieved is amazing, please keep going

[@pj3679]

The battle of unnumbered tears. It always made me so sad.

[@creepychannel9598]

Awesome. Thank you! I have often wondered about the bravery and strength of the eldar and the edain in the eldar days. Like Fingon dwelling with gothmog or even his dad Fingolfin going against the morgoth. So many examples of elves like Glorfindel, Ecthelion Felagund of Finarfin against Sauron. I think around the age of lord of the rings, their power and strength might have waned a bit. Which makes sense as there was “peace” for quite a long time before Sauron started forging rings and binding fates.

[@antaog5961]

Great effort ! Brings the vast battlefield to life from the Book I don't mind A.I at all when it conveys portrayal and visual epicness that the story deserves A.I...Always Interesting Keep 'em coming lad !

[@j.e.schoon4339]

This is astonishing! Wonderful work!

[@Walterintro]

Amazing job. I weep, the emotion is incredible

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks a lot for your words!

[@shuleen322]

Absolute cinema

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks a lot! i suffer a little making this one XD

[@bottlethrower1544]

They, Hollywood, would never allow it

[@Walterintro]

Please, which AI tools are you using?, I want to create Arabian nights Ai videos. Please, help me.

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

midjourney, runaway, kling

[@fred20097]

I love this. Ty 😊. I did think balrogs couldnt talk. And didn't Hurin cry out more like 70 times - 'the daylight will come' or something like that? But I have been known to be wrong. And I couldn't care less - I only mention these things out of curiosity. Again, more of this and longer, please?

[@pauloc-q7r]

Yes it was 70 times

[@fred20097]

@pauloc-q7r thanks for letting me know. Much appreciated 👍

[@sense90125]

This is the premier channel for Silmarillion interpretations

[@Blocky007]

Fantastic.... great application of AI tools... bringing the scenes we all saw in our minds when reading to life :). Great shots as well.

[@mgrt-fingolfin]

I really wept during Fingon 's death.

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks a lot! was a challenge show the fire ring etc...

[@klani1309]

Wonderful work your movie has NO equal!

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks a lot for your words!

[@jimmieglass3744]

Very well done. However, i found one small error. When Hurin's axe came diwn on the goblins, you said it fell 7 times. It actually fell 70 times. I've read the Silmarillion 16 times so i have that memorized. Otherwise perfect. Congrats.

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks so much!I remembered the number wrong then, thanks for the clarification!

[@CataVasquezOlguin]

¡Gracias!

just amazing carry on..waiting for new videos❤❤❤❤

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thanks so much!! working on more!

[@Jewus19]

so... the elves just charged without resistance until they reached literally morgoths throne, then he pulled a dragon and legions of balrogs out of his ass and the elves were defeated? well.. great story :D the heroes hergemsergarth and dergenergarth aswell as the brothers smergasvaloth and rergasfaloth also died somewhere in there. Nicely deliverd story, hard to follow by a non-hardcore-book-fan.

[@mountainsarecalling2903]

Great work epic!!!

[@georgeweissberg6498]

Is that an actual narrator or is the voice artificially generated?

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

i wish was my voice XD it´s generated

Next : children of Hurin, Mormegil, Nienor ... Turin Turambar 😢😮❤

There are now 3 successful Silmarillion anthology channels on KZbin, and I'm collecting a playlist here kzbin.info/aero/PLsvNTMFg-b8HL5CBiJV3prYX1Lvt7G1P1&si=HW_u1uthFISFo2hc Now appears to be a golden awakening time when we're learning the AIs' potentialities, but the judgement of human creators is yet superb. The Silmarillion adaptions constitute a historic milestone, and godspeed your splendid work.

[@kkperu6375]

It wasn’t his axe it was a troll’s axe and he cried out 70 times not 7

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

yep, i remember wrong number, i´ll change it when i do my final version

[@level9drow856]

Even with rubber weapons, shifting armor and a ground roiling with invisible worms its still better than the Rings of Power.

[@TheCottageofLostPlay]

thank you!!

[@Puma5]

From my viewpoint, the „epic trailer battle music“ doesn’t fit so well. It’s too modern, too vulgar, too overwhelming. The Silmarillion needs something more sophisticated and beautiful. Apart from that, it’s really great!

[@connercolter689]

AI is not art and Tolkien would not appreciate his art being used this way

[@richardstuebe9807]

I respectfully disagree. I am deep in the lore, but I love how the imagery draws me in! This is only the beginning. Imagine what this will be like in a couple of years!

[@balefirepodcast]

@@MrC-55 I don't see how. Then again, this video has no worth before Rings of Power. This is just AI Generated, ROP is Human-Generated.
