Learning so much about Boku no Natsuyasumi by plugging a six hour Action Button video1 into a ML summariser2
The dog in the game eventually forgives the player, showing the human relationship dynamics in the game.
The game evokes feelings of guilt in the player, showing its emotional impact.
The game is seen as a grand turismo of the original Sony PlayStation era, combining elements of horror and RPG games.
the same summariser as above, fed the 59 minute video from Jacob Geller about Ralph Bakshi:
- "Bakshi pioneered the use of rotoscoping animation techniques to incorporate live-action footage into animated films like Fritz the Cat in order to reduce costs. This led to inconsistencies in animation style in The Lord of the Rings adaptation."
- "Bakshi pioneered experimental techniques like rotoscoping but struggled to maintain a coherent vision, prioritizing completing the film over creative control."
it's incredible that you can feed a 59 minute video about the life and creative works of a person into something that looks at the title of the video and cuts out almost all of it to give you bullet points relevant to the video's title. unfunny complaining under the cut.
i wanted to try and give kagi's summariser -some- attempt of a chance, and asked for a summary of the video. it obliged:
Ralph Bakshi's 1978 animated film The Lord of the Rings was the first movie adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's classic novel. Bakshi used rotoscoping extensively to reduce costs, which gave the film an inconsistent animation style. The film received a lukewarm reception and ended abruptly, as the plans for a two-part adaptation fell through due to studio issues. While flawed, the film was an ambitious early attempt that brought Tolkien's characters to life. It featured John Hurt's standout performance as Aragorn but suffered from pacing problems. Bakshi struggled to balance fidelity to the novel with coherent storytelling. The film's mixed reception contributed to Bakshi's declining interest in other people's stories in later years. Overall, the documentary highlights both the film's shortcomings and pioneering spirit.
absolutely no mention of the great lengths that Jacob goes to in order to give background on Ralph's history, upbringing, other creative works, nothing. "video title says lord of rings so i guess everything else is irrelevant!".
