Jagon - Fantasy short film (2016)

[@RobertPilla]

All the special effects in the world and nothing beats a fan and a guy throwing dirt!

[@AmericatheBeautiful-p4z]

When you're half-way through the film, on a Friday afternoon after a hard week of work, and realize you've seen it already, but you keep watching it anyway, in silence and awe. Wow.

[@MunirRahool]

What a treat! Amazing... 6 years and still looks superb for todays' standard.

[@ionnicfilms01]

Wow! Absolutely a great film. A masterpiece... definitely deserves the recognition it so deserves...

[@tapasbasu7376]

This is 10000 times better than hollywood. Please continue!

[@maxstrata9967]

100% Agree!

[@BraveFartz]

@@maxstrata9967 sorry I do not agree it was only 9,999 better

[@tomdevlin5412]

Well said, I could watch this intro and enjoy it more than most movies.

[@Samizouza]

Its always the rookie filmmakers that make better films than even those in Hollywood

[@creativebuzzevents]

I love the Look in her eyes when she gets the rosary back, pure faith in the Guardian, regardless of the faith.

[@ashleybass7889]

HOW AM I JUST DISCOVERING THIS!!!!!! I need more. I want to watch this series, read all of the books, watch the film, etc. AMAZING

[@jonremimuziq]

WOW!! This is worth the price of admission!! Geez laweez, I've never seen a student film turn out soo good like this. With such depth of detail work, sfx, music, storyline, acting!! it all was a pleasure to experience. I literally watched it and then ran to my friend and we watched it together. Can't wait for part 2 0_o

[@greenthumb6875]

No horse like that graced a poor mans stable, but I do digress for such an excellent movie short.

[@the1savagebeast]

This was waaaaaaaayy too short. This needed to be a full length movie or a series. A beautiful girl with the power of the ancients; a gatherer with a back story longer than Gandalf's beard, and a swordsman waiting in the distance. A story of legendary proportions with awesome cinematography and directory, and you're cutting it off now...why? I want more!!!

[@lagofranco7197]

me too!!!

[@emillyyelen5169]

its short because he doesnt have money for full length feature...ffs

[@PoetryForYoutubers]

long film tend to spoil stories because it will have to be stretch and maybe become daunting, its just like poems, when they hit short and gorgeous it digest beautifully by the reader, but lengthy things ones bored the readers, a person must really have a strong story and very gifted in creation to make it a top notch of worthiness, short film the same, they are easier to produce and direct and easier to manage and less timing etc.

[@PoetryForYoutubers]

by the way there are more talented people out there than those who in hollywood

[@the1savagebeast]

@@PoetryForKZbinrs but there isn't anything saying he couldn't make another segment as an episode part of a prolonged series.

[@jackvai2681]

AWESOME! If only major movie studios, with virtually unlimited funds, had one scintilla of the talent and compositional instinct of the makers of this film! BRAVO!

[@silvergoon9009]

This movie became good because we had very limited money. With all the money in the world, it would suck.

[@sgtmech]

The acting in this was magnitudes better than almost any Hollywood production. Everyone involved deserves high praise.

[@SwordOfS]

Hollywood sucks let's be honest.

[@rashadmadambillath]

I do agree

[@defendtheweakdestroytherav4050]

Hahahaha

[@cua7180]

First of all, they were not pressured to get the investment back, then this is only a short movie. They can focus all their effort into shorter period of time.

[@jalaluddin197042]

Is there a second part 2 it ??

[@doronron7323]

Every frame is a treasure. Whatever the 'Nordic' language, it was perfect for this drama. I'm not too keen to watch a full length subtitled feature, but this would be an exception. So much talent.

[@asmarkhan2233]

Thank you youtube for finally recommending something worth my time even if it is 4 years too late..

[@maxstrata9967]

Best fantasy short film yet!!! Well done! Please make a full length version.

[@WayniKlaru14344]

This a very good short film. This deserve a full length movie with a sequel. I would love to watch it. ❤👍

[@anidaralopez5676]

Jiminy crickets......came across this by accident, read a few comments....I'm only 10 minutes in and I'm like "OMG....WHY hasn't this been made into a major full length movie!?!" More than that, I sure hope the big studios have snapped up every one of you that worked on this and are giving you the license and freedom to create more superb films. The acting is superb....every close up, every scene....how it was directed, shot, edited is absolutely spectacular! Hope all of you go far, because this deserves some kind of award!

[@mitchnjaxn]

This should have 20 million views and give that director fucking money so we can watch a full movie of this.

[@johntavary7905]

Wow!!!!! Possibly the best Short film I have ever seen!

[@marastar208]

Beautiful work. Deserves to be a full length film.

[@GySgtRay]

This was filmed 5 years ago?!!? I just stumbled on it while looking at short films!! I must say that of the many short films I have seen, as well as, big budget Motion Pictures.........Hollywood would salivate over this one!! Well acted, scripted, perfect plot lines and the special effects were amazing!! The orange princess and the hunter acted their parts magnificently. Actually, all of them were awesome!! Should this become a full length Movie, I'd pay to see it! Well done folks......and thanks for the translations! LOL!!

[@MobileFilmmaking]

I know... I just discovered this today and I'm like HOLY SHIT 😯😯😯😯😯

[@charmlife7890]

Yes I just found it to while home sick. Amazing film

[@LeeLee277]

The phrase “leave them wanting more” is so painfully accurate for this short film. Great job, it should be turned into a feature film and it could be fit into ANY genre.

[@goldenhorn3754]

Thanks to all of you for the overwhelming comments. I am out of words and always get emotional when I read what you guys have written. Once in a while I come back to this video and can't believe we actually did that film. I must have been crazy or sth. to actually pull this off. And even more crazy were the crew and the people who actually beared with me and made my vision possible. We all went through a production hell back then but when I look back now, it was a magical time and I feel lucky that I was allowed to make this crazy flick. Just like you guys, I wish there was a second part or a full blown movie about Jagon but as my favorite character of all time said: life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get. Thanks to all the crew members and you guys here on youtube. May your guardian angel protect you all from all evil. M.E.G.

[@Leviwosc]

Indeed this film deserves a second part. But as I read your text it must have been a lot of work. I don't know much about film making, I love to enjoy films. But I do appreciate the tons of work that go into making a film. So, thank you for your work. I thoroughly enjoyed your film.

[@ΒόρειοςΆνεμος-β1γ]

May your Guardian Angel keeps you sturdy, healthy, enlightened, protected and, even more, in continuous communication with Him. I wonder... With every redpect; If our old hunter and our Saracen young girl, through few years in the near future, with starting point the end of this film, after few contacts with evil and death, (at the past in this time line) find the peace, him as a father and mentor of her and she like a married woman with husband and 3 children, one young hunter /husband approved from our hunter/father, in a protected beautiful farm, and there, the two of them teach the husband and the 3 children about the mystical power of faith, telling us, eventually, their path to meet the Angel of the rosary and enlightenment against the cult of aurelians and the fall from their original grace via vanity, corruption and greed, turn them to soldiers of evil and hubris. One second part of this magnificent work, 35 minutes for example, more mystical, magical and deepness, a great climax, victorious, in a great journey. 🙏❤️

[@indi2174]

​@@Leviwosc a second part is really necessary for sure it is needed..

[@FYahooo]

Where is M.E.G now??

[@darlynegoo4251]

I literally am called to re-watch this film every 6-12 months or so. Today was such a day. Lo and behold, only 2wks ago an update where posted the Creator (film producers...) to almost answer the question that I've asked EVERY time I've watched this: Where is the REST of this story? That said, a powerful seed was planted in this more than artistic cinematic encapsulation. So, again, BLESS and THANK you!

[@ImaginerImagines]

Really well done. Tight action, drama was intense. Left me wanting more. I hope you can take this further but even if you can't. Wow. You have an eye and a powerful vision. Well done.

[@MrFaboulous60]

I discovered this movie today and you have all the makings of the next Steven Spielberg. The story cinema keep it going you have a wonderful gift

[@dvarusskiesfilms6681]

I ...am...floored. The absolute beauty of this short film is beyond words.

5 Stars out of 5 ! Amazing film ,congrats to Filmakademie Baden- Wurttemberg ... Danke

[@shahintorah]

Screenplay is fabulous ❤️❤️👍👍👍 congratulations...I'm shahin Christian..I'm short film director from indian country tamilnadu state

[@edghartheexplorer1601]

Please make this a full feature film, Please do!. The effects alone makes it worth the 20 min of my time, add the actors and scenery to it, than even the big studio’s can learn from this. Gold and masterpiece do not do this one justice, it’s way better than that.

[@zonadelsilencio556]

now this is the kind of videos worth watching

[@TheSohailAzeem]

This is probably the best short film Ive ever seen.. Deserves a 1.5 hr movie.

[@afstargaming1311]

Wow, these KZbin short films are getting more and more cinematic like an A-list Holywood movies. Great job!

[@sophiaherschel567]

Richtig geil. Da kann sich manche Hollywoodproduktion eine dicke Scheibe von abschneiden.

[@closer2theheart684]

That was an extremely well-made short film. Bravo!

[@relaxingthesoulmind1879]

I can't believe only now KZbin recommend this a short film . It was great better then some Hollywood movie's

[@naihaizken_za7176]

Santa cruz , aún existe un buen cine , ya no tenemos que mirar al mal Hollywood de la idiologia de género y la falsa diversidad. Felicito a este canal por tener esta obra de arte.👍📽️👑🌹

[@MisterMagoo-nq4hm]

Great short film, that was really well done especially for 8years ago The special effects are in the realm of believable I think its better than many shows on shyte Cable TV Thoroughly enjoyed it, Thanks

[@Albeare]

I have watched this several times, its brilliant. Thank for posting this. I agree with many other comments. This should be a feature length movie.

[@gvaro1101]

better scenes, better action , better graphics than many real full Films.. good work my friends...... very very good..

[@veritasaequitas9875]

Wow!! I was gripped. Wnat more. I could watch a full length feature. Excellent. Thank you.

[@ruelkamande8119]

Years later,am watching this incredible beautiful short movie. Loved the work ....and the story.

[@TrOLLKiLLeRs1]

15/3/2023, watched this for the first time. Outstanding cinematography, script, effects, acting, and though I was reliant on the subtitles, the dialogue was superb. In some ways I find a subtitled film to have more engagement with the audience. The music captivated you as did the special effects and the scenery. I was saddened that it finished, I wanted so much more, the back story, the prequel, the sequel. Thank you all for your amazing work.

[@ericcoyle3520]

What's really amazing is the look of this film is as cinematic as any 100 million plus block buster. The use of slow motion, the editing and lighting and the acting are all professional movie quality. Nice.

[@JS-co4ug]

I truly enjoyed watching it. They should make full-length movie.

[@TonySneed]

This was just beautiful and amazing. Excellent work. Reminded me of a good D&D campaign. If there is more please let me know I'm down to watch.

[@Onlynostalgicvibes]

Such a great movie. Why am I seeing this just now. Almost 6 years ago

[@thewatermelown6294]

Outstanding work by this team. Just now watching it in 2023 and it holds up very well against other great works. The fact that this was done as a student production is very impressive. I especially love the mood that the color choice of your shots in the woods delivered. I'd love to see more of this story or world in another production. Maybe one day we will get it! Be proud of the masterpiece you have created.

[@yousufayani9090]

Awesommmmmmmmme . Words can't describe the perfectionism of this film the person who can create this short film like this can create a whole epic saga iam totally invested in this film plzz don't stop create more

Nooo! More!!! Absolutely terrific!

[@varonmullis5255]

Cannot watch it too many times. Facial expressions are a story unto themselves. A full length feature? Yes, please.

[@TheBestSchoolGroup]

I want more! Please! We need a longer and beautiful film like this! 🥰🥰🥰

[@melissapyle7879]

@M E G yes!! Had to comment just to say well done. Superb acting.. great intensity.. visually stunning.. def left wanting more.. 🙌

I would be happy to see another part made.

[@stormygail1868]

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST!! ..WAY BETTER THAN HOLLYWOOD!!....WELL PUT TOGETHER!!...I HAVE SEEM THIS AT LEAST A DOZEN TIMES NOW😄😄😄

[@danielhanawalt4998]

Superb. The story, the acting, all excellent. I say MORE. A full length movie, a series. One of the best shorts I've seen if not THE best. The look on the old hunter's face when he came to her aide, the look on her face when she returned the favor, was stirring. Although I guessed what was about to happen, it was awesome to watch.

[@victorchristi]

This is one of my favorite short films of all time. When it ended and I couldn't find a sequel, I felt almost desperate.

[@Sam-to6ew]

Why is this literally better than 90% of movies nowadays??!! Love this type of film

[@johnvanegmond1812]

Because this films purpose is creative entertainment. Love these!

[@raevelanonesuch4157]

An absolutely splendid short. Well done to everybody involved!

[@Logra01]

so ein guter Film. Was die total überflüssigen Zeitlupen einstellungen sein sollen, weiß auch keiner. Hätte man die weg gelassen wäre der Film gerade mal 10 min. lang.

[@wednesday4evashine848]

TOTALLY AWESOME. I want more.

[@luny]

The acting in this was magnitudes better than almost any Hollywood production.

[@feridunkeskin1913]

Better then many "blockbuster" movies from Hollywood ... 10/10. Only minus is ... it's not a full length movie 😉❤️

[@jamestnov41945]

Very well done everyone. Excellent production.

[@roma-ni4fy]

this is worth more than the last 15 hollywood movies. Incredible work, looks like zack snyder old school. Impressive the cast, the effects, the planes, the direction. They deserve a 120 min project.

[@shahinozsoy]

it feels good to be one of the few who can understand what the girl was actually saying. 🙂

[@musab5khalaf]

This is unreal, the potential of having an EPIC and successful franchise is already set, you guys need to find a way to finance a full length movie, such an amazing work and effort cannot be limited to 21 minutes, this short movie is better than 99% of hollywood's movies in the last few years.

[@fieldagent59isintheforest32]

fantastic !....... great story, and production values.. better than anything out in the theatres currently..... only thing I noticed that was excessive was all the slow motion,... it worked beautifully in some scenes and was a little to much in others, great casting and quality actors...

[@spervuurproduksies]

I really liked your hero. Understated strength and humility. Loved the unusual language and of course, excellent cinematography. The German distributors must have been drunk or high to dislike this. Murat Eyüp Gönültas (MEG) is an amazing director.

[@stormygail1868]

I LUVD IT!!...BRAVO!!....I wood luv to see the rest of this 1 finished. ...I watch it wen feeling all is lost...then I watch it again!!!

[@minsapint8007]

This is the best short film that I have seen on KZbin, Thanks for giving a glimpse of how it was done in the credits. Everyone involved should be proud of their work.

[@JohnTLyon]

I studied German in School, both High and low Deutch and I have never heard a dialect such as this! Was gibt??? Beyond that, this is a stunning film which should be made into a feature length piece!❤❤❤PS--- The director, MEG, has done excellent work in the states, but this is a pearl of great price!

Absolutely stunning. Great job!
