I've just found this on YouTube and it amazed me.... Honestly I was shocked. Unbelievable. What do you think about it? I'm curious. ***Betti***

Yes, this user has only one video yet. He/she (I think a male anyways) is a 3D animator and this was a personal project, so this one minute took 2 years of blood, sweat and tears (as he/she wrote on YT). The name of the software is "Lightwave Animation Software".

That's pretty cool! It's really realistic!

**Diane** · 10-28-2008, 03:20 PM

Strange but interesting....think I like the real thing much better though. I find these things a little creepy.

I think it's great. Better than some of the other stuff I've seen.

**Elvislives72** · 10-28-2008, 03:43 PM

This is neat but it's also old. It was posted throughtout the Elvis world as far back as early this year.

It would be cool to see them do a completely new 2008 fantasized concert like this using songs he never did live. Songs like Marie's The Name, Shake Rattle And Roll, King Creole, and Always On My Mind.

It may be old news to you but there are members on here that are new fans and haven't seen half the stuff that has been posted or called old news.

Thanks for posting the clip. interesting.

I never saw it before and to be honest he has a fantastic voice and looks great. Dovey

Good point Jen! No reason to be rude to Betti for posting it!

Yes, you're right, the real thing was a live thing and it is much better than any animation.

Yes, I know it really was an older clip, but I thought some of the fans have not seen it yet. That's why I shared it. It was new to me anyways. Yes, unfortunately Elvis did not sing many of his songs live, it would be great to see him performing them.

I think it's great. Better than some of the other stuff I've seen.

I agree!! I saw some really horrible 3D animations about him, but this one somehow caught me. I think this is really the best one.

Thank you Betti!

I agree, it's not a bad animation, in fact it was very well done. It's just my personal feelings about certain things. I find puppets and clowns etc. creepy. It was a good thing to post Betti for people who aren't like me and can enjoy this kind of thing.

I agree with you Diane. I am still terrified of clowns, wax figures and ventriloquist puppets.

**MojoElvis** · 10-28-2008, 04:21 PM

they should use this animation instead of a lot of them people they picked to play Elvis in them movies...lol

like Jonathan Rhys Meyers is an awesome actor but just did not have any of the stage movements down.

You're not lying. I remember as a child visiting the Wax Museum in Gatlinburg that the figures looked so real and life-like as if they could turn and ask "what are you looking at?". They are freaky looking up close especially when seeing them alone and all by yourself as a kid.

Speaking of wax figures, I have yet to see one that looks exactly like Elvis.

Great idea and with the technology that's available today I think we'll see an animated Elvis sooner than we think.

I really like you. You're right, as I told, the live thing is much better than any animation and it is irreplaceable (I hope this is the right English word... ). It just amazed me that someone worked for two years for only one minute. And I wondered what Elvis would think about these things? Anyways I'm not so keen on 3D computer animation either, although sometimes it amazes me. For example, I usually don't like the cartoons nowadays, which was made only with computer animation.

Elvis loved modern day explosions and new inventions so I'm quite sure he would have loved this.

Btw I didn't mean to sound rude to your original post, but if I did, my apologies.
