I love this short film. The SFX are seamless.
It's at almost half a million views and counting.

inspired by "I robot" ?

 

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

There are many "robots going crazy" movies. Inspired by a few I'm sure.

Marlon, I loved the kid. He was excellent.

I'm sitting here in stunned silence.

I ... That was ...

Wow.

That was awesome!

 

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

I've watched it quite a few times now. It's quite an accomplishment.
Fantastic quality all around.

 

[El Gato Negro]

This was great. Ruiari used to post here a lot too. I wonder what the secret is for seamless cgi like this a la district 9. Must be the perfect lighting and color grade...

 

[Marlon Ladd]

Stupid kid! I hate him!!!

Yes, I remember. Silent City was another great short film of his. :thumbup:

With Macgregor as cinematographer, no wonder it looked good.

Brilliantly done, excellent story, great acting, and beautiful CGI that never gets in the way of the story

After some more thought, I like this film so much I've decided to feature it on my blog as the Short Film of the Week. You join the ranks of some very talented film makers. From indie wonders to the man Martin Scorcese himself! Feel free to leave any comments about your experiences making the film etc...

one small things that "annoys" me... the TV is right side... but it sounds left side...

there are some small "spikes or trstpmp sounds" (around 01:52)

EVERYTHING that's in screen = middle , so don't put the dog right side... now it's like it's another dog at the right side, out of the screen

It's very strange that the robot is close in the image, but sounds "far away" and then suddenly with the same image...suddenly sounds very close...

I know you want that it's like we "hear it out of the head of the boy"...But...it's to abrupt.. then it has to sound "far" when he's in the window, closer when he's
walking towards the robot and then louder when he's close to him
