DYNAMO ep1

[@KarmaPirates]

Budget is whatever we can afford after rent (equipment is basically just a DSLR and some clamp lights). Hours spent are.... significant. There are a lot of hours. That were spent.

This series was seriously the most entertainment I've had on KZbin or "TV" for years. An engaging story. Funny script. Amusing, sometimes even good acting at times. Plenty of quirky moments and geeky eastereggs littered throughout... and great special effects to top it all off. An absolute gem.

[@Merlincat007]

Have you watched the Dynamo Dream episodes that are coming out these days?

[@dannii_L]

​@@Merlincat007 Yes I have and while the latest episode no doubt looks above and beyond any of the previous episodes, it serves as more of a agraphical demonstration and feels out of place in the context of the entire series up to that point and nor does it move the story forward. Does it look better? Unquestionably, yes. Absolutely far-out graphics with a beautiful cyberpunk aesthetic. Did it entertain me as much? Not really.

[@F1dg3t]

A lazy ass cg artist who never put moths brought me here.

[@jonrenders]

All made in Blender and AE... So amazing. Not just Ian Hubert, but everyone that worked on this project! They all deserve much love and respect for this

[@quax6625]

I have watched the whole series like 4 times 😅

[@ManMountainMetals]

My God, How have I not found this till just now?!?!!

[@sakurya972]

What the fuck is this!? I found this because I was curious what most youtubers use for video editing and came across this! This looks so cool! Definitely going to watch all episodes!

[@instinctrix]

Sakurya s Same, reddit, right?

[@myidentityisinjesus8880]

After watching Dynamo dream I was thrilled to find this!!❤❤

[@theov3rmind]

I gotta tell you... This is the best series that I have ever seen on youtube! KZbin want original content + series exclusive to youtube??? They already have on of the best ones they could have ever hoped for! They should be funding this project for sure!

[@toxicallypink]

i came for a vfx video i saw on twitter, stayed cause i got hooked. that's the ultimate compliment i can give any piece of art. you got me.

[@JanssenSolberg]

For the record, this does not disappoint in the slightest. Well done you guys! All the hard work really shows.

[@likefire1617]

10 years later..still..fucin masterpiece..the whole series

[@miseryengine]

At the last second he flashes out. He winds up in the desert outside shade? Cut to Ava and the shy guy who wants to ask her out. There stargazing outside of the city of Shade. The shy guy makes a move but is turned down. off int he distance a Zombie howls, they decide to leave. On the road back the couple pick up a seemingly disoriented Axel Rubix, and give him a ride into shade. They all fall asleep in the camper? (why fall asleep with the scary looking homeless guy? What was in the beer? )

[@jodiac]

This masterpiece was made back in 2011 wth 2011!!! by two dudes!! with a rather tiny budget!

[@melvin3509]

Ok, so I just came from the just released Dynamo Dream Ep.1 "Salad Mug" and now found out about this already existing old Dynamo series. Until now I only knew about Dynamo Dream, so whats the deal about this old one then? I guess the naming difference is "Dynamo" vs. "Dynamo Dream"? But are they maybe related in a prequel/sequel way?

[@Luka1180]

I believe Ian made one reference to this one being in the future, but he also said the stories were parallel.

[@applejuices]

You can actually see the tower in the background of a scene in salad mug and hear the DYNAMO theme. I already know DYNAMO for a long time so that got me really hyped.

[@Luka1180]

@@applejuices You can also hear the first musical cue of Episode 3 repeated over the dizziness scene at the end, first when the shadow person appeared. And the tunnel is in the end of Episode 5. I also feel like the one bit in episode 1 where the world is slowly being built part by part with the long yellow clock in the sky is a bit similar to how the world disappears and is rebuilt differently at the end of Salad Mug. The pink code also appears all over Dynamo. And I feel like that code has something to do with “the Cure” because of what happens to Gage in Episode 5, when you seemingly look into his sock puppet brain.

[@applejuices]

@@Luka1180 y’know this stuff really gets me looking forward for the rest of the series

[@acidicjosh3813]

He made dynamo dream because he didn’t want people to watch 8 year old work to get the full picture. So the new series is meant to be a new story in the same world.

[@miseryengine]

This really is the best of KZbin, Slick, original ideas, excellent production. Compelling camerawork. I hope all YT content providers eventually take notice. This is what everyone else should be doing. Liked and subscribed. Both here and on my Roku box. Keep up the excellent work!

[@Keeg64]

Only 131,000 views.. How do more people now know about this?!? Why did I just learn of this series after 8 years! This is amazing and I can't wait to see Dynamo Dreams.

[@BruceGrowth]

This is just one of these cases were the work of an independent series goes entirely unnoticed. So much effort, amazing editing and sheer dedication, but at the end of the day, still can't compete with a streamer posting a 10 minute fake apology video... But taking all views aside, you guys created something beautiful :') An absolute piece of cinematographic art

[@abraruralam3534]

Dynamo dream is just unbelievable. This is already amazing. Ian and the team have really taken this to the next level.

[@RDJim]

Wonderful visuals. The hat of the photo bot was off the wall as were most of the FX. Very professional.

[@luxlucidus]

I'm in the camp of people not knowing what this is all about but I really enjoyed it. Seriously well done. It looks great and the FX are just tops. Seriously cool!

[@funk-hazard]

This gave me a feeling since watching it the first time, which I cannot describe, but it brings me to watch it again and again.. I really love it! It's impressive, that after such a lot of somehow "apocalyptic" sci-fi zivilisations there is still plenty of room for something so very new and different like that. Keep up the good work!!

[@natural_sedge0531]

so i just noticed that EVERY SINGLE THING IN THIS VIDEO IS CGI IN BLENDER

[@jco_sfm]

other than the green screen stuff lol also theres some practical sets in here

[@themindfulmoron3790]

@@jco_sfm Even the green screen stuff is handled in blender according to Ian.

WOW!! incredible! Excellent CG and great use of blender, but the story itself was interesting as well! Loved the futuristic vintage feel (if thats possible ;) ) with some humor to break everything up, awesome job!

Whoa, Ian Hubert! Haha, didn't know he would be THAT much involved xD I am thrilled to see more of Dynamo - and Mango, which he is going to be working on with Blender :D This is amazing. I am also looking foward to other 'independent projects' this year, including the AVGN film which I've done some graphics for, and of course, Ian Hubert's own film, Project London! :D

[@miseryengine]

Oh in case you didn't understand from my previous post, this is FREAKING AWESOME. I've watched each of them at least ten times. OK, Axel Rubix, is asleep on the deck of his nearly derelict ship when the ship warns him of incoming fleshbats. Waking him up. He is all hair glasses and nose. He tries to run but winds up on deck, the steering locked, shooting his revolver at the fleshbats. (not the most efficient way to deal with them) He then flies right into the maw of a giant toothy monster.

[@miseryengine]

The shy guy (Did they drop a name for him?) is being tested in his dreams, being asked to manipulate a cube of information. He is repeatedly successful. Cut to the phantasmagorical menace. A detective and a photo-bot are taking data on an odd burnspot on the ground. The detective writes it off but then is joined by an agent of the superinelligence agency. Who lets slip information that he shouldn't, That the burn spot was something else completely.

Brilliant piece of work. I'll be going on to the next episode.

[@miseryengine]

It was a "Dript" (Drift) from shadow state five. He then either summons a huge monster, or shifts the local reality to something adjacent to the beast. who then slaughters detective and everyone at the "crime" scene. He pulls out the file and states "Rubix came back" cue credits. So Rubix is int he camper, with demon monster owner Superintelligence agent hot on his heels and it's not apparent if he has all of his marbles, Someone is administering tests oon sleeping shy guy.
