About this animation


Using the power of artificial intelligence, and a carefully crafted narrative, this short film brings Old Tom Morris—born in 1821—back to life.

The video was created by two locals from the St Andrews Visitor Guide, Zuying Dong and Sandy Mitchell (now a community councillor), who transformed the classic painting of Old Tom that hangs in the Royal and Ancient Golf Clubhouse of St Andrews.
