Historical Portraits of Early American Presidents Brought To Life
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 чер 2024
- ► Hello and welcome back everyone. Today we're going to try and use modern technology to breathe some life into the historical portraits of the very first Presidents of the United States by adding facial animations. The history teaches us that United States declared independence from Great Britain, on 4th July 1776, during the American Revolutionary War that lasted about 8 years. The Declaration of Independence has been largely written by Thomas Jefferson who was a member of five-man committee, appointed by the Continental Congress, that included John Adams, Roger Sherman, Benjamin Franklin and Robert Livingston. The revolutionary war ended with the Treaty of Paris on September 3, 1783, signed by US and British Representatives, recognizing US independence and granting US significant western territory. On April 30, 1789, George Washington, as a political leader, military general, statesman and Founding Father, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States.
Check the video to see the first 10 Presidents of the United States, in a way as never seen before. Enjoy.
Featured in this video:
George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe, John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Martin Van Buren, William Henry Harrison and John Tyler.

It is fantastic how this technology breathes new life into the American Presidential portraits. They are no longer stiff figures but gently animated to show their humanity and even a brief smile. Excellent. Love the animations in this series. You help bring history to life.
I absolutely agree. Suddenly they look human again instead of just a face on a piece pf paper
The founding generation has always fascinated me. These were men who, if they had failed, would have gone down in history as hated traitors. They not only risked their lives and reputations, they risked the future of their families, their descendants.
They were not only very fluent in French, as it was the international language at the time (not English!)...most of them were fluent in several languages, including Latin. It was common to graduate from both school and seminary by the time they were teenagers. Very few of them actually wore the wigs they were depicted with in paintings. Artists of the time would add the wigs because it was almost scandalous to be bare-headed. Americans were independent and bull-headed from the start lol.
John Quincy Adams, for example, was part of American diplomatic missions in Europe while studying law, French, Latin, & Greek, and attending college.....this was when he was 11 years old!!
At 14 yrs old, he was the secretary of an American diplomat in Russia!
Now in modern times, we think we're so much smarter because we've learned how to push buttons on a cell phone that someone else invented, and we ridicule the founders and demonize them.
I think they were not only brilliant...they were very, very brave. Much smarter and much more brave than most Americans living today in the nation that they created.
So true...!
None of us would survive those times and the so called intelligence is all fake. They were brilliant. Your comment is so well stated.
That is why we have today the United States of America, the best country in the whole world.
Jamie, I appreciate your perspective.
But please remember, "we" don't all live in the same way. I spend infinitely more time with musty books than on my phone. :) As do many of us . But History is being stolen. Write down everything you learn. No one can ever take that!
The Founders were incredibly smart, I wrote a letter regarding why a Governor was disregarding the U.S. Constitution by fining people for going to church a few days ago, and again marveled at the foresight in the Constitution.
Those men couldn't know that politicians in the 21st Century would use a terrible pandemic to make themselves more powerful. But they *did* understand human nature. Really well. I will never cease to be amazed at the minds of those people. Yes, they were imperfect. They knew it. They knew we needed to grow. But they did, along with many whose names are lost to history, create the most free country in the world, and in the famous words of Benjamin Franklin, "A Republic, ma'am. If you can keep it".
TRUST ME, we are the DUMBEST generation of the last 100 years or so. Our education have gotten worst with race theory, instead of focusing on math and REAL science, dumb modern books instead of the classics, sex education instead of music theory, and the list goes on and on.
This is haunting! They all look as if they're waking up from a long, long sleep.
If only .. We need them now, more than ever.
Donald Trump woke them up on Jan 6, 2021.
@@wesleycook7687 Huh?
They would be grieved to see America today. My 7th grandfather was john adams' father, henry. They would be ashamed.
@@jlynnshow5923 - Wow... what an amazing legacy! I agree with you 100%. And I'm sure you make them all proud in both word and deed.
While watching, I cried for my country. These men are my heroes and seeing what you've done with their portraits, I feel I know them personally, they were my friends.Thank you so so much for this.
They would all be so mad at us...
They'd die of shock! Oh, too late!
Heck, we're so far from operating under the Constitution they designed that REGARDLESS of party, they'd probably ask us, "What do you have here, a President or an elected Emperor?!"
And don’t forget there was racism, slavery, etc out in the open as opposed to mor hidden now
@@Cassxowary you are an NPC
@@Cassxowary that part. America was worse when they reigned. Pure savages. Trump has nothing on these presidents.
It’s very telling as to how good the original artists were at trying to capture the presidents. The painting of Thomas Jeffersons slight smile. And then your flawless continuation is wonderful
John Quincy Adams is an ancestor of my family. He'd be my distant Uncle on my mothers side. It's just a little interesting piece of our past. I love these detailed animations you create. Startling at first, but really helps envision how they might've really appeared in life.
If you're a direct descendant, There are a lot of you. Do you know the lineage?
There's another woman in the comments saying they're her ancestors too.
They are related to a lot of European Americans.
Which means you are a relative of John Adams
I’am from Louisiana, and we have records, of my family history on my dad side. and I too was related to John Quincy Adams my grandmother was an. Adams !
This is amazing. I hope they are looking down on us from above and praying for this nation to survive.
Amen brother
It will survive, the American experiment sometimes goes through trial and error. That's what this nation was founded on, bold experimentation.
Amen brother
I have tears in my eyes, you folks are giving me the most hope I've had in quite a while.
We must always remember that regardless of politics, which is always changing, the country belongs to her people. Not just the rich or powerful.
@@amylh322 I don't think Socialism is the answer here as to many people believe, rather compromise is the answer.
My three oldest sisters were killed in a car accident in 1963 when I was four years old. I don’t remember them that much. They were 20, 18 and 11 years old. My mom said I was really close to my sister that was 11 years old. I don’t remember anything about her at all. My last memory was being at the funeral home with my grannie holding me. I reached out to touch one of my sisters hands, she had on the long white satin gloves, and my grannie wouldn't let me. I wish the color pictures I have of them could be brought to life with their eyes and lips moving like in these videos.
Absolutely they could. You would likely only need to contact the AI artist. It would have a cost. I’m sure many families have contacted this guy to do that very thing. He has a website.
I was thrilled to see the animation of the 2 Adams presidents. They are my ancestors.
Wait fr? Like your great great great great great great cousin or something?
@@homersimpson1949 not that many “greats” Homer. JQA was my great great grand uncle. Not sure what that makes JA.
I was amazed to find out that during his time in the UK, he lived 500 yards from where I live now.
@@elodiedutroux5832 Daaamn that’s mega cool. Imagine if you time travelled and met him! That would just be cool :0
Cool.
I really liked when J Monroe smiled. You hardly ever get any hint of one in any old portrait. Really nice video.
Thanks!
That's because people had terrible teeth.
@@michaelwhitesell9125 I realize that. I just meant they were real people, and smiled just like we do. I was just interesting to see.
@@michaelwhitesell9125 they did, bc this was pre-anesthesia. They didn't even have novocaine or the later, safer injectables. Also something about being statesmanlike
It wasn't about their teeth. For some reason, people simply did not smile openly for portraits. Quite possibly for the same reason we see the same in early portrait photography. It's *very hard* to sit and keep a big smile on one's face! Everyone in history didn't have bad teeth. If they all did, that would be the norm, and they wouldn't have cared!
I agree, it was very nice to see a smile with teeth. Thanks for noticing, I was thinking the same thing during a previous video.
Probably the most incredible and scary thing I've seen in a while. You could almost see them come back to life in these pictures. Yes, some were more realistic than others, but all were astounding! Great work!
John Tyler, born in 1790, has 2 grandsons that are still alive today! He and his son had children very late in life.
@Steve Gosper, sadly it is only one grandchild. Lyon Gardiner Tyler, Jr. passed away on September 26, 2020 at age 95.
Astounding!!!
@@edwardcricchio6106 Very interesting! (And sad, of course.)
I would love to see another video like this but the founding fathers with current hairstyles dressed like current presidents. I think that would be really neat!

@@ImCarolB What an Interesting article, and a great updated pic. I had no idea George Washington was considered a hottie in his day. Who knew?
@@decompressionstop1464 Thanks! I enjoy making these useless pictures, like slapping glasses on old paintings!
I feel like we owe these amazing men an apology for abusing the great inheritance they gave us, risking their lives and their fortunes for our liberty that too many of us take for granted. There is not a single politician alive today that comes anywhere close to the level of intelligence, vision, servitude and statesmanship that these men had. History will record us as the generation that squandered the second greatest gift ever bestowed upon mankind. Jesus Christ, whom most of these men believed in, is the first.
The great majority of mankind most certainly are not Christians. But I do like your comments.
Very well said Ron.
We are but stewards of what these men created for us. We have neglected and abused such a gift. We do owe them an apology.
There have been men and women through the history of this nation who’ve honored them. Make sure you tell them so.

@@decompressionstop1464 so satisfying
I can picture Thomas Jefferson dressing up like Jay Z :D (history buffs will get it)
These were all emperors, not presidents.
I am a history buff. Just not a Jay-Z fan. Why would it be funny?
These early Presidents could pass for the present day British Parliament- how time has changed features!
This just gives me chills! So lifelike! And the music is wonderful!
This was amazing! Oh, how I wish we had men like them running our government again. I think they would all be so sad and angry if they knew what's happening now to our freedom. Pray for America.
I love this. I can't imagine how much work goes into even one of these images. My only nit-pick is that some of them didn't work quite so well when they went to a close-up view. You can see the the pixel shifting to make the face move but toward the back of the head, the image remained "motionless".
In recent years, I've learned through DNA testing that I am a descendant of the Washington and Jefferson families. I'm very, very proud of that. I do so appreciate the invaluable opportunity you've given me to see how George Washington and Thomas Jefferson might have looked had I met them in real life. Although I am not a direct descendant of Thomas Jefferson himself, I've learned firsthand from old paintings that my father, aunt, grandmother and great grandmother were dead ringers for Thomas Jefferson's grandchildren. They had some terrific portrait artists in those days.. It is so exciting to see them come to life in this video!
Most European-Americans are related to the presidents in some way, and all the way back to Charlemagne. It’s not something special or admiral, sorry. Charlemagne just bred a lot. In fact all but 1-2 of the potuses are all related to one another……..
@@catsberry4858 The intent of my post was to thank Mystery Scoop for their hard work and the enjoyment their video brought me. It wasn't to solicit your opinion. I choose to be proud of my family heritage whether anybody else likes it or not.
@@dianekennedy7086 I don't care, lol. You didn't come off as thanking; you came off as a braggart 😅. You can be proud all you want. But 282929202923939929229 share the same situation as you. It's nothing special and anyone who does serious Genealogy will tell you that. They're related to them, too! Go figure.
I would love to see what they looked like when they were young. That would be a cool digital thing.
These moving portraits are fascinating.
the small movements are great. Especially the ones with a portrait where they are looking directly at you.
Many, many thanks for having given me joy in those terrible CORONA RESTRICTIONS taking place in Germany!
I was deeply moved for reasons appearing inconceivable to me - and I cried my eyes out due to my overwhelming emotions!
Best regards from Germany!
Wow! Wow! Wow!!! I was shocked how moved I was to see the faces of our history moving, blinking, small smiles - absolutely outstanding!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@MysteryScoop Oh, my gosh! It was amazing! Thank you so much!
John Adams was so lifelike. It almosts looks like he's breathing! Excellent! I love these. Suggestion: Maybe do less of the chewing, mouth movements, more smirks and smiles. Makes them look more approachable and human. Also how about some mountain men and women, cowboys/girls, rustlers, robbers, sheriffs, gunfighters, western expansion types, Big 4, Alamo, Lewis and Clark, American Indians. Loads more to do. Great work. Keep these folks coming!
Maybe they're chewing a tic tac
I see John Adams, I think Paul Giamatti
I think you misunderstand the current limitations of this technology. To deviate to “giving them” smirks, etc would mean compromising the integrity of the portrait. You may as well request them to dance a jig.
No, some non Europeans would be nice.
Would love to see more Presidents up to the Tedfy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson eras. Up to the days of the beginning of motion pictures and recorded sound.
These are so wonderful! I would love to see this with all of the old Presidents!
I might do next 10 too, thanks! Obviously the modern ones there would be no point...
Absolutely wonderful! I just can’t get enough of these. Keep up the good work 👍❤️💕🌸🌺
Thank you! Cheers!
Interesting side note: WH Harrison served the shortest time in office, dying one month after his inauguration, his grandson, Benjamin Harrison was also elected President and John Tyler later served as a delegate to the Confederate Congress in Richmond before his passing in 1862....
The presidents faces are excellent , a much better way than the busts or king portraits.
Just FLAT OUT AMAZING! Well done!!!
Thank you. Seeing Washington and Jefferson brings tears to my eyes.
Amazing work! How awesome to see them so life-like! More, please!
It's clear the animation work is still in its infancy. Looking forward to its timely development to wow us in the not-too-distant future.
Probably what they looked like when they were posing for their portraits 💕
I kept thinking about that.
¿Why I've got my eyes with teardrops? This is so emotional to me. Wow! What an incredible job!
I thought it was just me.
I love this set. Your animations take stoic paintings and gives a glimpse of a human being behind the mask. Superb.
Awesome work. I believe we're going to see more of this in the future. Good work, wonderful work, thank you.
Thomas Jefferson is my 3rd cousin 7x removed, biologically. Well done!
And my favorite president. I liked him most of all.
Then you might be related to his slaves as well. He was smart in many ways, but his morals... sadly lacking.
I like imperfect people. Jefferson is a tough one though.
@@amylh322 There is no proof Jefferson fathered children with slaves. The DNA just showed a Jefferson fathered children of slaves. But no proof he was the one who did.
@Human Being George Mason the founding father, few people have ever heard of, mosty, with help from Thomas Jefferson, was the one who convinced James Madison to change his mind regarding adding a Bill Of Rights to the 1787 Constitution. Madison had voted to ratify without a Bill Of Rights. George Mason did not vote to ratify the 1787 Constitution. George Mason, was a Virginia slave owner, and tried to persuade, to no avail, the 1787 Convention to Constitutionally free the slaves! The Library Of Congress has a summary of the minutes of the convention posted online noting the various states' delegates to the convention, who participated, how they participated in all the various discussions that make up the Constitution.
@@amylh322, we’re all imperfect.
My curiosity now veers toward indigenous portraits, from the Native American Indians to the Native Maori. Big Fan 🤘🏾
Thank you so much for doing this one! I really appreciate it. Do more of our founding fathers! Loved!
FANTÁSTICO, estoy emocionado.
So amazing. Old Presidents blinked. Who knew??
Van Buren looked like someone told a joke and he was trying to hold back a laugh.
😂😄
All 10 are great; Madison and Monroe are astonishing. Keep it coming.
Thank you for including two of my ancestors. This was a real treat.
This is just amazing!!!! The music is wonderful too!!!
Artistry and modern technology converge to breathe life into historic figures never captured on film. Jaw-dropping.
This is incredible! Great job 😊
What a fantastic channel! I love history and this . .. wow, thank you. What a cool gift you have, thank you so much for your incredible generosity.
I was only able to get a portion of the comment you left for me. Please note that DNA is not the only source of information I have for my Jefferson and Washington lineages - it was just the first tip. Since the DNA test I've been in touch with relatives that I did not know previously. Several of them verified the information for me, and I found records. Monticello recognizes my Jefferson ancestor. So don't jump in with both feet before you know the whole story. Thank you.
Your channel is so fascinating. I love it.
Pretty amazing stuff! Awesome job 👏👏👏
Absolutely brilliant!
I don't know how I ran into this channel but, it is thrilling.
Love all of these but this one especially struck a chord in light of the strife that our great country is going through. Thank you!
Great work! Fascinating!!

These videos are amazing & so enjoyable, they make you smile! :)
(Fun fact, GW was slightly over 6' tall & considered an oddball giant by 1700s standards. His clothes, chairs & beds had to be custom made.)
amazing technology in actually bringing to life all those that came before us in life. Keep helping history to move forward and preserve it as well.. Great Job.
I have an ancestor who was in the Continental Congress. It is fascinating to imagine these pictures we're familiar with almost come alive.
This technology is fascinating. I am mesmerized by these portraits. Thank you.
Thank you! I dearly love this country and you made some her greatest leaders come alive.
Thank you so much!
Thank you, as a history fan I find these incredible to see..Wow!

You should contact the artist. A good idea.
Reminds me of the pictures in Hogwarts

These are so creepy but I love seeing them. Thank you for bringing them to life so to speak.
Loved it, Thank you

Yay first again beautiful art👍❤
Remarkable - stunning work
These are always so enjoyable and interesting.
I always wondered how they looked in real life. Thanks for sharing. Outstanding work!
Thank you! Cheers!
There are a few documentaries that show what Washington looked like. One you can find here on UA-cam. It is about death masks, and has not only his but Lincoln's as well. A death mask will show more detail than even a picture from a camera. The other one is called, if I am not mistaken, The Real George Washington. They show him (in wax) through various stages of his life. Both really good docs if you are interested in history!
@@ButtonsCasey Thanks. I’ll check it out.
I am so hooked on these videos. I hope I don't get fired because I am watching them when I should be working!

you guys do bloody good work
Nice job on George Washington. Despite his horribly uncomfortable dentures, you gave him a slight smile. Great job with Thomas Jefferson. He leapt off of the screen!
Tyler is related to my husband on his mother’s side.
All of these men, lived & died, believing in America. They have their lives, their blood, their oath for that love, that belief. All for what? So we can throw all away and accuse them of being traitors? This Country is not what these mean stood for. We have disgraced their memories, their legacy.
Standing for using humans as chattel? Standing for eradicating an entire human race ? I don't think the natives have asked for any of this
@@aaliyahkassim9142 My dear Aaliyah: I spoke above of modern principles versus what each of these men, individually had proposed within the framework of the Constitution & the Bill of Rights. Precisely, what they'd envisioned for Americans. Long before the days of the American Revolution, came the European Puritans (Pilgrims). Of those, whereas, disease was spread (smallpox, etc) and Indians (Native Americans) were enslaved. It is true that the American Indian, in it of themselves, were not as peaceful as historians have noted. Nevertheless, my point is that long before the Revolutionary War, natives fate had been determined. Here, these Revolutionaries, (none of which enslaved American Indians) sought to throw off the tyranny of the European (British Crown). The very same puritans who'd enslaved and massacred Native Americans. What these men sought was freedom from tyranny, each giving their blood, sweat and tears, their lives even, to assure that future generations would live freely. What have we done? We've spit in the face of these men. I would argue that we spit in the eye of God, when we destroy the Constitution, as it was inspired by God. (Inalienable Rights) and they speak of their and our 'creator.' We must Support and defend our Constitution. We must not shed off these Patriots as traitors. They were traitors, but only against tyranny. In that case, I, too, am a traitor. Thank you for you comment, Ms. Kassim. You also have the last name of one of my radio idols, with whom my voice has been repeatedly repaired. Kudos, young lady.
@@aaliyahkassim9142 get perspective - purge the indoctrinated hatred - these were the greatest men that ever walked the earth,.\
I wonder how difficult it would be to add modern haircut and business suits to these Presidents? This is amazing - I've grown up looking at these men with the stoic expressions, but they look like they're alive! I've spent many hours walking through the Independence Hall area of Philly, and there's so much history there (pre-911) where you could actually touch things and walk in the same footsteps as Washington and Franklin. Thanks for this - it's like a new chapter in US history.
Amazing and talented! I love what I see, it’s mesmerizing.

Thomas Jefferson was known to be shy. I’d have thought he’d have more self-effacing body language. He’d probably cut his eyes and drop his gaze more than that.
Cat Shepherd Was he the one who was Married to a Black Lady and had 6 Children by Her ??
There was no marriage between different races back then.
@@chomama1628 oh ok .So he was not married to her but had 6 children with her ....Hope he Looked after them ..
@@laceylocket1 He did as much for them as a slave owner would do for their illegitimate children.
@@ButtonsCasey You couldn’t be more wrong. Jefferson took care of all his children. Crack a book sometime.
I love these videos, they are absolutely amazing. What music did you use for this particular video?
Thomas Jefferson looked quite handsome. I think he'd have been my type back in the day, but apparently I may not have been a choice for mistress ... that role was taken. He apparently had a son with Sally Hemmings who was the absolute spitting image of Jefferson. Everyone knew.
