Horatio Nelson Video

[allanyed]

Discovered a new (for me) website that takes any photo and animates it.   I tried it with a portrait of Horatio Nelson and got   what you can see on the attached.  Spooky, but interesting.

For some reason, the site truncates your link to only go to the homepage.   The examples they show do look spooky to say the least.

Mark,

If you get into the site, you can just insert any portrait image.  I did Nelson, George Washington, and long past relatives.  Seeing grandparents that I remember vividly moving and blinking was fantastic, but a bit on the creepy side.  I sent the same link to a member here and he had it open right up to Nelson so you may want to give it another try.

Free site unless you sign up for the premium package or premium plus which  helps in building a family tree.   

Try this one for Phineas Pett 1570-1647   https://www.myheritage.com/deep-nostalgia/result/1103411981-500004

Both links take me to the home page, regardless whether I click on the link or cut and paste into browser.  Tried both Explorer and Firefox.

Try this one  https://www.myheritage.com/deep-nostalgia   and then where it says upload a photo, get any photo from your own file to enter.   Or you can save the Nelson image below if you want to try that one first.   Or, go to the home page, click on Family Tree then click on Animate Photos.  You can then upload a pic and it will do its thing.  You may have to enter your email address and a password to get started.

Fascinating what can be done... and yes,, that is a bit creepy.

Quick! Ask Phineas for his 'shipwright's secrets'!

I THINK, without years of research, that the closest I could get to learning those secrets Druxey is to ask Richard Endsor.  

For anyone wanting to use the Heritage site, it appears that there are only several times it can be used for free without signing up for a basic plan, as I just found out.   There is a 14 day free trial though, so have fun while you can.    Was fun while it lasted.
