What if the 1963 movie Jason of the Argonauts had smoother stop-motion animation for its effects scenes made by the famous Ray Harryhausen? I used an AI program to interpolate the scene to a higher frame rate to see what that would look like.
You liked a similar video I did about 1933's King Kong, so I thought I'd do a sequel of sorts. What do you think of the results?
✨ Programs used: -I used Flowframes with RIFE to interpolate the framerate from 23.98 fps to 191.74 fps and then used FFMPEG to reduce that back to 60 fps. Flowframes is free and you can find it here: https://nmkd.itch.io/flowframes

Don’t forget to paint a moustache onto the Mona Lisa, too.
The skeleton-warrior sequence showed the most improvement. The others were not that impressive.
I wonder how much processor time each took.
I don’t see a difference, but the original is pretty darn good!
The movie still needs a remake. But not with today’s Hollywood; I’m not ready for a gay Jason with a boat full of transexuals.
I have no idea.
Its a bit better.
Buy the rights. Given the Hollywood ability to make anything new or creative and merely do PC remakes of old Marvel stuff, Jason and the Argonauts could be re-released to huge success.
It’s amazing what they can do now with old movies from the early 1900s, I figure maybe in about 10-20 years the technology will be such that they can literally make those movies look like they were filmed today on a modern camera.
LOL!!!
I haven’t watched it in more than 50 years, but I plan on loading it up and go on a nostalgic ride with the gods!
peter Jackson did amazing work
How about coming up with an original idea rather than messing with one of Ray Harryhausen’s masterworks?
I can almost see the Argonauts bending each other over a beached dingy.
Yep saw it in the theater in 3D.
Yeah, but Jason would have to be gay and black with some Hispanics and Asians on the crew. In fact the entire crew would have to fit every combination of LGBTATOZ. And then they’d have a hard time with explaining skeleton-based discrimination.
It’s not going to help them if they look at Medusa
