I’ve been binge watching these for about 3-4 hours, and I can’t tell you how wonderful I’ve found them! You have changed distant historical figures, into real life human beings that I can relate to, feel real pity for, share the feelings I believe they felt! I know this sounds very ordinary, but it has honestly changed the way I view history and the people from it! Thank you!

yeah, we often get desensitized to historical figures seeing as the only proof we have of them are paintings and drawings, etc.

excellent storytelling talent with relevant and very interesting facts... excellent visuals and writing, editing and delivery... and I love at the end that the subject is reconstructed visually in a VERY well thought out way with the explanation of how and why ... these little vignettes are SO well done and even with delivery of facts the storyteller brings the viewer into the subject's life in a special way that helps me to understand and have empathy and kinship for a person long gone... these are VERY well done and without cheap graphics or sordid details or conjecture and yet, still touches on rumors and speculation that occurs with famous people. excellent quality and very entertaining

My favorite part is usually the modern recreation. It makes him seem more familiar, like we could bump into this guy at a university and have an interesting conversation.

William Shakespeare is a fascinating figure because (as you mentioned already) there’s very little material on his life so a lot of us can project ourselves on to him. Also, people think his English is archaic and too posh for us now but his language was the most accessible yet poetic way of putting things across.

Very well thought out and authentic, based on what we know. It's s quite possible that Shakespeare travelled abroad 1585-1592 which is where he picked up Italian, Venetian and Genoese knowledge mentioned in his plays and explains why there is no record of him in England during that period

He got so many things about Italy wrong that there is little chance he actually saw the place. He has a character in Verona rushing to catch the tide. Shakespeare was obviously thinking of the Thames, where the tide carried boats in and out every day. The Adige not only isn't tidal, the whole of the Mediterranean has no tides to speak of.

anything is "possible" and if Shakespeare MUST BE the Strafordian then yeah. I would point out, just for the sake of balance that such travel was quite expensive and it basically bankrupted Edward de Vere. But his attitude was, 'well what's money for if you can't use it for Adventure?'. Still just using Occam's Razor and considering the simplest explanation of something: let us be objective. We have one fella who we have NO information about for such travel, and we have another fella that we have volumes of stuff about his travels during this time. Which would you consider best suited?

@Jeffhowardmeade

Жыл бұрын

@@fgb3126 Logically, one cannot isolate just a single type of evidence and ignore the rest, but oh well. If we're judging solely by what Shakespeare got right and wrong about Italy, then Occam sides with Shakespeare. Aside from some generally known facts, like there being a university in Padua (many Englishmen studied there), and a church named St. Peter's (which every city in Christendom has) he gets everything wrong, especially about geography and the nobility. De Vere's travels in Italy don't make him more likely to have written the works of Shakespeare. They rule him out.

Shakespeare was traveling, but do we know where?

I love this! When I look at your modern recreation, I feel like I actually could be looking at Shakespeare, and that we can infer so much about him from his face. I also love that the modern interpretation looks like he could be a professor of Shakespeare at a prestigious university.

This series is incredibly moving. Thank you so much for presenting Shakespeare.

Where does one begin? There's so much to LOVE about this beautiful video. Watching this made my heart beat a little faster... and I felt goosebumps on my arms and neck for the reveal. Splendid! I'm envious of your skills and talent... we are so fortunate that you share them with us! 💖

he is absolutely one of my favorite literary authors of all time! The recreation of him reminds me of Tim Burton a bit? Or is it just my eyes. Anyway i do think some of the portraits that are presumed to be him share vague similarity! I do think that the Chandos portrait could have been close to his likeness its the way i've always imagined him. I think his appearance is not far from these artistic interepretations however portraits can be different from photographs because they cannot capture a person aging each decade. Anyway I love awaiting to see what historical figures you will recreate next. I do have a suggestion I made it on an older video I would love to see a recreation of Tecumseh. I do often wonder what portraits out there might possibly be close to his likeness.

Thank you for making Shakespeare’s eyes come alive. Looking at your re-creation, the eyes remind me of my oldest brother, who has passed away. Once you added AI there was a light in the eyes for a split second reminded me of my brother's large eyes.

This is a great narration, far better than 99% of all of the videos I have seen on youtube. The vocal inflection is perfect as can come only from someone who has taken the time to actually look at the words she is speaking beforehand. It adds a great deal of interest and enjoyment to the subject.

Your work is amazing and so believable, I always feel you have captured the essence of them all perfectly.

I have watched most of your work but somehow missed this one. When I saw the modern interpretation of what S may have looked like, I was filled with emotion. Well done.

I love that you introduce the Modern lnterpretation now. Excellent job

in many ways, he reminds me of another mysterious author... one closer to our own time... Edgar Allan Poe. they both have that air of sadness about them; that edge of knowing too much and having seen too much. they both have that touch of mystery where we Think we know a lot about them but do we _really._

Absolutely stunning portrait at 15:04 ! I love your work sooo much...I make portraits on carved leather and I did Shakespeare several times from the same source, so I'm used to see it but my heart litterally bumped at seeing your recreation from it... I thought I was really in front of Shakespeare himself as If I had jumped through times!!! Amazing!

Honestly the recreations are my favorite parts of your videos. It makes them feel real not someone I read in a book but real people who lived just like us.Thank you!

If you ever get a chance, go see Shakespeare home in Stratford upon Avon. It appears to be a comfortable house, whilst not being extravagant. It’s beautiful

I absolutely love your modern recreation of him!!

I just discovered your wonderful sites! I am so impressed by the quality of work you do, both with the recreations and the presentation of material. So now, I am addicted to Royalty Now Studios and want to watch everything you have worked on.

I know hardly anything about history at all. These videos are so intriguing and make me feel excited about learning more about these famous historical figures! The 1500-1800’s are so incredibly fascinating to me!!

I love all of these re-creation works of art and discovery. Shakespeare's likeness is so compelling and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talent.

That modernized version took my breath away. Amazing job.

I've enjoyed these recreations immensely as well as the historical backdrops and always look forward to the next... A common theme throughout is one we all face...The hardships and tragedies of life... One however must always persevere...

this is excellent. Thank you!

Awesome redo!

Absolutely love your history and especially your interpretation of their faces, love what yo have done for Shakespear! Thank you !

Wonderful! Thank you! I really would like to see the modern picture of him moving. To see his smile and to look around with his glasses on. It would really put him in our time 🤩

The most wonderful narrator on You Tube. I could listen to Becca all day ! Great music and editing and the reveal at the end is genius.

Thank you RNS! I like your narration of the subjects that you choose for your channel. You are easy to understand and have a lovely speaking voice. I'm not a huge Shakespeare fan, but I do like a couple of his plays, especially "The Taming of the Shrew". I have been watching some of the Olivier film versions and Kenneth Branaugh as well. You asked for requests of future subjects for you channel. I would like to see one on Molly Brown, famous survivor of the HMS Titanic. I have not seen one on her and any of the history channels that I follow on KZread. I think she would be quite delightful. Thank you!

How is it that he looks like a creep in his time bur looks very scholarly in the modern version? I'm enjoying your channel so much. I'm about 4 hours into a binge. Thank you for all the work into not just recreating their faces but telling their stories in such an amazing fashion

Your videos and art are amazing. I just found your channel and am going through each video. They are all wonderful! The art is breathtaking, you are careful with your history presenting it in a sympathetic way, and your speaking voice is so pleasant and easily understood. As a hearing impaired person, it's always nice to not have to stare at the captions only, put the speaker next to my ear, or just give up (from mumbling). I would love to see your recreation of the Mona Lisa!

Another awesome video! 👏🏽

Loving all your videos! Beautiful voice!!

These recreations are a treatise on mortality. You give us the arc of a past life in all its fame or infamy, then let us be in the presence of that person. Always brings tears because you bring the good ones, or the wronged ones, back to life, but we know they are long gone from this earth.

I love your recreations of Shakespeare! I especially love the smile. He looks like such a sweetheart 💜

I am loving your channel! At first, I was only interested in the last part of your videos, but I am thankful for the History intro. I can tell that there is a fair amount of research and it just makes it more special when we get to see them in motion.

First playwright, first author I studied, first works I studied not only in school but as an actor. My first play ever was Midsummer's Nights Dream reinterpreted as a Teenage midsummer Night's Dream. I played Demetrius "Dean Metrius"

This was a really fascinating video. I appreciate all the hard work and effort poured into it. Extremely enjoyable viewing.

Amazing work

As always: thanks for your research and art! Blessings.

Outstanding work. My fav was the modern version… he’d fit right in. Thanks

so beautiful and so moving

Great narration..great video!

I'm obsessed with this channel

It always amazes me how much more real they look when you see them as a "modern" person, outside their time.

Both interpretations were brilliant. Looking at a writer. He seemed shy and very private a person, maybe that's why we know so very little about him. I think if he could, he would have written under another name to keep his identity secret. My daughter is a born writer, busy with her first novel. She is going to write under another name, not her name. She is very shy and likes to spend hours alone in her room, writing. But she is very happy, especially when she can write something. So as the Mom of a future writer of best seller novels, I think I saw a little more of what Shakespeare was like as a person. You did a great job on the interpretations.

Again, many kudos for your work. I share the same birth date. I did not know that he died on the same date, Thank you again for the lesson, sincerely, Lady Barbara
