"OUTLAST" | A Run & Gun Short Film | Sony A7III

[@cmg]

Thanks guys for all your feedback! I totally agree with you on the lack of story/plot but keep in mind that the story was Danny's part and he is just starting out filmmaking and never did something like this before. Also he never acted before so I think he did a great job for the first time. For me personally it was a great experience shooting this and to see how many things you can fuck up during a shoot like this. Definitely a good way to learn and grow. Even though, I also want to work on more travel projects this year and I'm going to focus more on my own stories, composition and maybe some commercial work. Stoked to share more stuff with you soon! Chris

[@Diminish12]

Im one of the guys who left a Negative Review on Story. And i like to Apologize.. For this being the first time u guys did this is Phenomenal! The fact that it looks Pro, i judged based on Pro film makers not realizing this is your first one.. no way could i of pulled this off as my first short film.. Again sorry for my quick Judement, the fact that this is what u did as the first one is actually insane!!. Please continue the Filmaking Path, cause if this is what we got now, i cant wait to see whats to come.. Truely Amazing..

[@Roadrebelz]

Can you tell us some things that you fcked up to learn from? :D

[@cmg]

​@@Diminish12 thanks man, it's totally fine to criticise..that's how we can get better at what we do! And yeah it was the first time ever shooting something different than travel videos or impressions ;) Best

[@RobertAlexanderHunter]

Dude no gonna lie when I seen that you were doing a short film I was really excited to see what you made! You have amazing potential look forward to seeing you make more.

[@onyxgryphonfilms191]

Lmao, I don't know if its Danny's script or anything. But you just displaying your lack of character by blaming someone else when something goes south. I mean if you going to shit on him might as well be real and not try to sound nice at the same time. Plus, you put your name there next to Danny's, so you are responsible as well.

[@MrVh78]

Give your character a goal he needs to reach very badly, give him obstacles that get crazier, impossible ones to get over and make him fight and struggle to win them over. All your cinematography, camera angles, edit cuts, drone shots should serve nothing but that, repeat that last line again and again. Great work on the visuals, I know indie filmmaking is hard AF, easy to comment on, but you literally give your blood sweat and tears so good effort just follow the above and we'll see a masterpiece!

[@renemersi5209]

Love this comment!

[@aakashprat]

Thanks man

[@laurelstreed]

Read the description people. The short will make a lot more sense. I think this is extremely well done for only being shot in 3 Days. Sure you can pick apart the plot, costumes, acting, but all of it was done with two people. That’s nuts!! Also the thumbnail is 🔥

[@MarcyMoe]

the typical sundaywalk to get back home from the partyweekend

[@technikfrosch857]

haha true😂

[@simon_sreckovic]

[@vierkavojcikova]

I read this comment at around 4-5 into and can’t watch without thinking of it as a sundaywalk from partyweekend :)))

[@daniellewatson5717]

I came here solely for the visuals & was not disappointed. Incredible job!

[@wei.art.studio]

The cinematography in this movie is simply amazing, also perfectly combined to the sounddesign and music! Looked like a Hollywood movie in many scenes

[@directedbyxanderjones8329]

This video was uploaded less than 10 minutes ago and its almost 15 minutes long, yet there are comments about how good it was. You didn't even watch it all the way through.

[@PaulPetrutFilms]

Because many are watching in quik mode. Since i saw behind the scenes i wait the film... Has ups and downs, but is great. From respect for the team you have to watch it all, right !!?

[@FantasticPyroclastic]

cuz all whats shown is a man running through snow while looking pissed. You can use the playback bar to find it out.

[@maverick4220]

@@FantasticPyroclastic I know this video is old and the so is the comment thread but i just got to say sometimes all you need is some Visuals and abit of music to tell a story. you don't always need dialogue.

[@oiko2k4]

Best skin tones out of an alpha line camera I've seen so far. After watching this short, I was left with two thoughts: I was in owe with the progress of video equipment over the last 10 years (really, 10 years ago this could cost all your family's kidneys, the refrigerator to keep them fresh included) and simultaneously in owe with how all those cinematic shots alone were not enough to keep me interested for more than 1 minute. Literally, after a minute, I was scratching my head, starving for something to hold on in this short. The behind the scenes video kept me waaay more entertained than the actual film! Since this budget filmmaking was not possible some years ago and so most of us are still making our baby steps, I'm so excited to watch all those creators mature.

[@danieldougan269]

The color grade on this is amazing. Beautifully subtle and applied with care.

[@JahimTheCreator]

Alright I watched this... Visually the movie is flawless but I think this could have been reduced to a 5-minute movie... The pacing was to slow for me. I must admit I am a bit confused by the grave he found in the middle of nowhere. Was that his family or something? and if so why would he put the necklace back that part eludes me a bit. My final thoughts are that the movie is well made the cinematography is amazing but the story and the pacing are a bit lacking. Still impressive for 15mn of no dialogue at all.

[@PaulPetrutFilms]

Also in the ending when he is running from something in the woods, could be more explicitly done... Relating to his terror.

[@FlyByFrancis]

Yes, I agree with this comment. I had to skip a few parts because it was slow. I didn't understand what was going when he was running around in the woods flailing. BUT the best part of the film was the gun shot-eating transition.

[@Optivities]

literally said the same thing... feels way to dragged out

[@MIMCKMedia]

People like "could be reduced to 5sek" with ADHS Syndrom 🙈

[@ericwawrzyniak4402]

Those were his brothers in arms graves i think and maybe a little bit too long but not 5 min...for me is to enjoy his emotions.

[@edgarabramz]

Huge props for just having the balls to go out there and run n gun a narrative existing only in your heads.

[@davidpopaart]

YES YES YES!!! This is what it’s all about. I can tell you pushed your limits with this one. This is the kind of content that filmmakers here on KZbin need to start adopting.I love the travel films etc. but this is ART

[@GhostCatYT]

I'm going to take a slightly different opinion than most on this. I thought this was amazing. Cinematography, acting, sound and music, and YES the story too. I thought this was beautiful because I DIDN'T know what was going on. I was just as lost as this person so I could relate to him and I felt for him the whole way. I honestly got emotional for him at the end when coupled with the music and scenery. The production value was immaculate and the story left me lost, emotional, and yearning for this man to make it out, despite not knowing wtf was happening. Very very good job!

[@JoeMaranophotography]

The gunshot/eating cut was awesome!

[@JonathanHeresOficial]

To hell with the narrative, the cinematics made me feel i was watching GOT for a moment! Great work!

[@ThatsGoodMoneyy]

Same

[@nicolaypastore]

i got more of "the revenant" vibe

[@AALucas]

Although the actor was not the worlds best, the cross scene brought me to tears, because the cinematic art and the pictures were so good in this film.

[@DuncanSmith]

In the sequel, his wife actually faked her death and returns as batman

[@AshvonChamier]

Can't wait to see it! lol

[@The3MinutesBelal]

I can't believe that this was just a 3 man's team.. I saw the making first and then searched for this shortfilm.. keep up the great work.

[@timr.9924]

oh mein Gott - hier steckt so unglaublich viel Arbeit drin. Unfassbar das du/ihr "erst" 156.000 Aufrufe habt. Ich bin total begeistert. Ihr habt hier echt was geleistet. Bleibt am Ball. Irgedwann werdet ihr darauf zurückblicken und nicht glauben wo euch das hingeführt hat. Gucke mir jetzt all deine Videos an und hoffe viel lernen zu können (wird so sein). Beste Grüße aus Bremen

[@MontellFishMusic]

this was beyond sick! great film man, captivating story. good sound fx, color grading everything super dope ✊🏾

[@macupickenpack3770]

that handheld rough movement at the beginning when he wakes up is just splendid

[@andreroman7144]

Incredible cinematography. I've seen people post "cinematic" footage done on the A7 III, but without the artistry of storytelling, composition, lighting, and editing that you demonstrate, it shows that the equipment alone doesn't make you a filmmaker. This is the real deal. I was drawn in within the first 30 seconds and couldn't stop watching. Brilliant.

[@justchris245]

Hammer Arbeit! Gratulation ans ganze Team. Mich habt ihr abgeholt. Der Look hat mir am besten gefallen.

[@inherentpeaks]

Chilling cinematography, giving lots of Revenant vibes

[@guillermogarciapresa8545]

Great visuals! And a lot to learn from: Camera: - I miss a wide angle at the beginning, so stressful not to know where he is and the camera moving so much all the time. It looks like we were hiding behind the trees, but nobody is... - Too many close face shots, we got the idea. There is no need to enhance what he is expressing every 30 secs. - That fell, i miss a shot with better perspective that could make us understand what kind of fell it was. Details: - If there is one thing that disconnected me from the story the hole movie it was that faded haircut, so popular in 1800-1900.. Sorry but it looks like a hipster dresses up with that perfect haircut and beard. - The hands and nails are perfect. I missed some hurts, fucked up fingers, nails or something from someone working with his hands in the snow his hole life. - The clothes should cover his head and neck better, at least to sleep or in some scenes, nobody will feel any better in the cold with just that thin hoodie. Story: - Where to start? I´ve been lost most of it. He is upset, sad, confused, angry? What is driving him? Finding the wife i supposed, so it should be hope and angry. But i couldn´t feel it when he found her... When he fell, i understood he broke his leg in a way you could see his bones. Was that right? How can he be walking and running in the next scenes without pain? Even if he is able to run without pain, what is he running from? How did he died? It sounded like a bear but his reactions didn´t make any sense. Then he died jumping and throwing his ache, towards what? There were enemies and not a bear? Then why nothing sounded human? As you can see more doubts than it should be to be able of following the story. Music: - No changes. All the time the same feeling. Missing a big change when he found the wife grave. And sound from him to express it. Missing a big change in the fall and in the taking care of him. Good one at the end, still missing a going up on it until the end. Conclusion: I don´t want this to sound negative because of the number of corrections i would do. It is incredible that you were able to make this with such a small team and being one of your firsts in many ways. It is an incredible work that i love and i will love to see it progress. Keep it up and starting already with this level the next one can be sick AF.

[@clodproduction6729]

best comment I've ever read on youtube so far!

[@chosenideahandle]

The drone shot gave you no idea where he was? Lol. Yeah, I’m not a fan of so much camera movement myself. It was a trend that has calmed down a bit, but it’s clearly used here to create anxiety (as it often is) I guess it worked.

[@M.Rosenburg]

Ganz ganz Großes Kino ! Ich hab mich so auf den Film gefreut und wurde nicht enttäuscht, Danke für die tolle Arbeit und das wir daran teilhaben dürfen ! Danke 🙏

[@HighGravityAdventures]

I really enjoyed the style. When I read in the description that it was shot mostly handheld, i was a little curious how it would look BUT once I saw the film, I felt that a bunch of handheld shots worked well! I really enjoyed it.

[@Sey357]

WOW 👑 SONY GOD FOREVER#1 ✌️ 👑

[@PhilippeOrlando]

Best looking 8 bit 4:2:0 footage I've seen in my life.

[@molequeiro]

Nice Job! I like the color, the photography, the image, the light, the places where it was filmed, the narration and the times, the naturalness of the actors ...

[@messianicrogue]

You had 15 minutes to make me understand and feel for this man and I couldn't because you didn't allow me to. A genuine editor and story would have made this a film. Unfortunately this is a series of drone and camera shots with no direction or purpose.

[@keelanwalker]

Have to agree. To be 100% brutally honest, your summary hit the nail on the head.

[@EIY_Kumar]

True....The story was just there without any direction or purpose

[@AiurMedia]

then it's not a story :/

[@chandlerelder]

If you’ve ever watched his videos, you’d know his goal isn’t to make sure you like it. He just takes chances and tries new things for the sake of trying them. Watch the BTS and you might have a better understanding of his objective here. He actually did what he set out to do which in itself is pretty cool since most of us spend our time criticizing the ones actually doing the work.

[@lucidtalks4959]

[@satoshiwhales3393]

Excellent short film. 4 stars for the visual and sound work on this project and no major budget! For anyone watching with negative comments the behind the scenes video released prior to this upload should have given them an immediate appreciation for the talent it took to put this together. I'm inspired by the fact that you only had one small camera set up , a drone and one actor. 15 mins was not to long for me but maybe people would have preferred it if he had been stranded on a small island with a soccer ball named Wilson for a 2 hours to consider it amazing lol!!! Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@AlexPresa]

I don't even know what to say, you left me emotional and speechless, beautiful piece.

I don't want to talk about story or other things... but according to me cinematography is top notch! And I love the colours, it's simply amazing. To make a film with Hollywood look you don't need film camera....what you need is proper shooting skills and editing skills! Great Effort!!

[@KaiKre]

Bin begeistert von der Qualität der Bilder! Schon gewaltig, was man heutzutage alles "Low-Budget" auf die Beine stellen kann. Ihr könnt auf jeden Fall stolz auf das sein, was ihr dort produziert habt. Hätte mir allerdings noch ein wenig mehr Tiefgang in der Story gewünscht (weitere Personen, Monologe o.ä.), aber das ist meckern auf hohem Niveau. Weiter so. :)

Kein Dialog, was das ganze für jeden einzelnen Zuschauer individuell gestaltet, da sich jeder seine eigenen Gedanken und Vorstellungen zu den Szenen machen kann. Klasse Kameraführung und Aufnahmen über die ganze Zeitspanne hinweg. Wirklich gut gelungen 😌👌🏻Und Respekt was für eine Arbeit ihr da auf euch genommen habt Jungs!
