Just an idea - I'd like to see what the artist was talking about in his annotations and chop marks, so, take this video, let an AI like Watson look at it and produce an English translation and then tell it to mask out the Chinese characters & replace them with English text. Would also like to see the translation on Wang Ximeng - "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains" scroll that you posted last year.
Thanks for making such excellent videos and thanks for sharing them with us !
It really shows why the work of this artist is one of four Standards in traditional Chinese painting. He’s absolutely exquisite. What a brilliant idea about the translation. What I started to do, and then stopped in frustration, was try to identify all the planets and constellations and label them. Mercury is the man writing. Saturn is the man on the oxen. Mars is on the donkey.
I admit I was after something quick and dirty. We’ve been working for WEEKS! to try to get a good pan at the same time we get good zoom on a different scroll, and our failure is driving me batty. The file was enormous. I pick up the best art images at Chinese sites using the google translate frequently to track a particular artist or painting. And Premiere just doesn’t want to deal with a big file that is so long and I don’t want to reduce quality, so husband has been doing mathematical calculations and it hasn’t been going well.
I’m a poor artist. Mother had a sure and simple art deco line and tried so hard to teach me. But in art classes I was more apt to use continuous feather strokes and my pastels tended to be smudgy. I’ve been turning some of my old pieces into posters and am enjoying them on the wall again, and I admit I dream of trying to work again.
