The Colosseum and the Emperor
History meets the future.
 

This concept combines state-of-the-art technology with gripping historical storytelling to create a unique visual experience. AI-generated characters appear as ‘witnesses of time’ and guide the audience through history in an immediate, emotional and authentic way.
 

At the centre of it all is the emperor himself. With a piercing gaze, he speaks directly into the camera, recounting the triumphs and dramas of the arena and making the past feel as tangible as if you were standing in the middle of ancient Rome yourself.
 

From meticulously reconstructed views of the Colosseum to bustling market scenes and epic arena battles, AI technology brings history to life with a level of detail that makes classic documentaries look outdated. What used to be difficult to depict in detail can now be precisely and impressively re-enacted thanks to AI. History is not only told, but brought to life in a new way. Scientific findings and historical facts are not conveyed in a dry manner, but translated into visually powerful, emotionally appealing narratives.
 

All images and videos shown are based on precise historical research, implemented with state-of-the-art AI tools and manually post-processed. The still images are then transformed into cinematic video sequences, allowing entire themes and eras to be retold with impressive accuracy and depth.
 

The technology behind the scenes:
 

The decisive factor is the right approach: when to use which AI tool plays a central role in the quality of the end result. Each element is precisely planned and produced in a clearly defined sequence to achieve maximum detail and impact.
 

Image generation: ChatGPT, Midjourney, Adobe Photoshop & Firefly, Google Nano Banana, Topaz Gigapixel

Video production: ChatGPT, Midjourney, Google Veo3, Runway, Topaz Astra, Adobe Premiere, ElevenLabs
 

Image creation is already at a very high level of quality and delivers impressively accurate results.
The video sector is not quite there yet, but is developing rapidly and improving noticeably every week.
 

The video of Emperor Titus Flavius Vespasianus was narrated by actor Michael Aitzetmüller and implemented using Runway's markerless motion capture technology. This will allow authentic emotions and human nuances to be seamlessly transferred from real actors to AI-generated characters in the future.
