"The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" — An AI Docu-Drama Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot (previous original upload (10/10/2025) was visually corrupt, this is a reupload) 🎥 About This Project This video is an AI Docu-Drama tribute to Gordon Lightfoot’s haunting ballad “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.” It blends song, story, and machine-generated imagery to reimagine the tragic final voyage of the SS Edmund Fitzgerald on November 10, 1975. ⚙️ The Making Of The visuals were created using a combination of Krea AI, Higgsfield AI, and OpenArt AI and ChatGPT, with final editing, sound alignment, and finishing in DaVinci Resolve and HandBrake. The goal was to capture the eerie, storm-tossed atmosphere of Lake Superior in November while honoring the memory of the 29 crewmen who never returned. Rather than a strict documentary, this is a docu-drama: a creative re-telling that leans on historical facts but also uses artistic, dreamlike imagery to explore the mystery and emotion of that fateful night. 🕯 Lesser-known Facts & Insights About the wreck & the ship: • • The Edmund Fitzgerald was launched in June 1958 and was one of the largest freighters on the Great Lakes (729 ft long). • • It hauled taconite (iron ore pellets) from Minnesota to steel mills in Michigan and Ohio. • • On its final voyage, it carried over 26,000 long tons of taconite. • • The wreck was found about 17 miles north-northwest of Whitefish Point, Michigan, in ~530 feet of water. • • The vessel was discovered broken in two, with the bow and stern lying apart. • • In July 1995, divers recovered the vessel’s bronze bell, now housed at the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum as a memorial. About the song & Gordon Lightfoot: • • Released in August 1976 on the album Summertime Dream, it became a hit: #1 in Canada and #2 in the U.S. • • Recorded in December 1975, just weeks after the sinking, in Toronto. • • It was one of the first commercial digital multitrack recordings using a 3M 32-track recorder. • • Lightfoot was inspired to write the song partly after seeing the ship’s name misspelled in Newsweek magazine. • • He later modified some lyrics in live shows to reflect evolving research on the wreck. • • Lightfoot stayed connected to the tragedy, attending memorials and keeping contact with families of the lost crew.
