The Wizard and The Scholar (or, a Rapscallion Runs Amok in Rye) is here!

The Wizard and The Scholar (or, a Rapscallion Runs Amok in Rye) is a tale set in the year 1156, telling of two amazing women - Elara, the town wizard of Rye in a world without magic, and Adelaide, a nomadic Moorish scholar on the search for truth in all things.The two join together with the most famous thief of all time, Robin Hood, as they set out to solve a mysterious crime and save the seaport town from a far more dangerous threat. This film from director and producer James G. Maynard is one of the first complex feature-length films ever created using the full power of artificial intelligence. From story notes to credits, The Wizard and The Scholar was created over nine months of effort, through a synthesis of artificial and human intelligence, camera, and editing techniques. This technology is still in its infancy, and is far from perfect, but all new technologies and styles of art have a beginning. Were Medieval wizards simply "stage magicians" having loaded dice, smoke and mirrors, and a few sleights-of-hand? And what would happen if these sorcerers were ordered to stand against a terrifying threat? Robin Hood is HERE!!!Enjoy and share with a friend!
