SOLSTICE - 5

In a race for domination, the Continental Alliance's ambition leads to the uninhibited exploitation of planet Solstice-5. As they construct unstoppable autonomous factories, the Alliance's insatiable quest for power leaves behind a forsaken workforce in a world spiraling out of control.

The bright colors and enormous industrial aesthetic of Chris Foss, Peter Elson, and other famous sci-fi artists of the 1970s are something that is sorely lacking in modern science fiction.

I wonder if the very high depth of field allowing a lot of small detail to shine through doesn't do a lot of work there (alongside the amazing amount of judiciously placed microdetails) to give that massive sense of scale. makes you feel like you're very far and still everything is huge. basically the exact reverse of the miniature effect you get from a very low depth of field. still it's impressive to achieve this while using mostly areal shots that could crush all the depth.

Why? The video had imressive graphics, but the voiceovers didn't make any kind of story. Plus, Aircraft Carriers are SHIPS that carry AIRPLANES. Here, you had a bunch of SPACESHIPS, still carrying..... AIRPLANES. Spaceships carry spaceship fighters that run around in a vacuum, not silly ass airplanes with big fans in the middle of their bodies. Nothing mentioned about the war going on that required an entire planet to be strip-mined for resources. Nothing mentioned about the people needed to crew these thousands of spaceships built. Who bombed them? Why bomb them but not bother to bomb the factories that were making them? Cool video. Makes slightly less sense than a Star Wars movie.

Unfortunately this is mostly created using copy-past of pre-made assets imported into a licensed graphics software such as unreal engine. No modern studio wishing to sell tickets in a theatre can legally use this method of creating visuals; it would open them up to unrecoverable lawsuits, or destroy any profits from licensing fees. Therefore visual studios must create their own assets, and cannot reuse assets in other projects. This means the studio has to hire a lot of asset designers to make a lot of assets very quickly, or higher a few designers and wait for them to make the assets over a long period of time.

[@vladcrow4225]

Technically: brilliant, ideologically: disgusting.

[@lajoswinkler]

SF, not "sci-fi". There is an enormous difference. This is pure SF.

[@mazemprod]

this is literally a masterpiece, congratulations on finishing the film. People like you Paul make me move forward and with each step do something bigger than the previous one.

[@gnryushi]

Incredible work. There was more heart and dedication in this 10 minute production than Hollyweird has produced all year.

[@PanvelTyrell]

This whole video is a masterful showcase of storytelling and concept design, with a novelty to it that I havent seen in any sci fi property in years. It is smart in its commentary with some blatant exposed ideas and other themes lying just beneath the surface witch makes for a perfect concept to explore. Honestly it is hard to put into words how great of a short film this was, bravo to all the people involved.

[@lachlanblanch9317]

It's a rich and believable world, having worked in the mining industry, and dealing with the bureaucracy of the large multi-national entities that run them, this oozes realism to me. A mindless machine constantly carving and rumbling away. Amazing work Paul, you and the team have done an amazing job.

[@ZeddysDad]

I have no idea how I stumbled on this, but my mouth was agape at what you've created - utterly compelling in scale and ambition and so perfectly executed in 10 minutes. Haven't been so impressed since watching Villeneuve's Dune. What a ride! Thank you.

[@paulchadeisson5891]

thanks for your kind words 🙏🙏

[@skozzy1968]

No matter how many time I watch this I am still stunned with the quality and visual details on everything.

[@soerenbo]

Unbelievable work... I'm actually out of words for this, it's so mesmerizing, insane world building, incredible details, beautifully crafted and presented... just wow! Love your work Paul!

[@tomvorat4173]

I can't begin to express how interesting and beautiful the VFX, the production quality and this world are. It's one of those things that you want to read into for days, learning every little detail someone has thought of. Yet it is just this one video, leaving you with so many questions. Also, this rugged industrial sci-fi aesthetic is just downright gorgeous, I wish there were more projects or even IPs with the quality and look of this.

[@paulchadeisson5891]

🙏🙏🙏

[@komay]

Love this raw, gritty aesthetic. Not abused with post processing. Really gave this underlying feeling of uneasiness from the factories.

[@Duediligence-xt2zz]

Being industrious is necessary for the population. You have no manufacturing nothing will move forward. That's the reason for a lot of luxurious things in life. You want what you want, you have to be willing to pay the price. If not it becomes hypocrisy to say anything against progress. Plus, they picked a planet specifically for industry.

[@Vinemaple]

I'm a little disturbed that nobody else is commenting on the cautionary tale this short tells. Do they not realize how close we are to doing this to ourselves? Do they not know that to some degree, we already are?

[@jessebeegee]

@@Vinemapleits because this is a lazy attempt to mimic better works lol why do you think it’s meaningful

[@Duediligence-xt2zz]

@@Vinemaple don't see how that is possible. Especially when there are tons of resources that are being withheld from everyone. The cautionary tale would be 1984. Not production.

[@6milphil975]

Classic sci-fi look with a gigantism few have managed to capture. Great dystopian story too. Quite stunning.

[@number1mouse]

This gave me goosebumps. The detail, editing, storyline, the hints of a long dead alien civilization, the hubris of man….bravo.

[@borisdorofeev5602]

8-Pointed Star of the Chaos Gods, mixed with an STC, mixed with the Golden/Dark Age of Technology, while at the same time looking like a Blackstone Fortress. Very cool.

Glad I'm not the only one comparing this to Imperium of man before it's AI fuelled fall.

This was not only one of the best VFX pieces I’ve ever seen, but you immersed us in an entirely believable Universe for ten minutes. Thank you for sharing your work !

[@RuschGaming]

Ive been following you since you started with this, and my god im so amazed by the level of detail! I cant wait to see what you make next!

[@JonDotExe]

I think people would absolutely go crazy for some behind-the-scenes on your process of creating this type of stuff. My mind is blown even trying to think about how you went about it!

[@cd5927]

My jaw is literally on the floor. My god. Not only is the detail of the 3d models just off the fucking charts, but the mastery of camera work and focus length actually makes them FEEL massive which is incredibly hard to do without ever showing a single human being or other recognizable object for scale. This is simply a masterpiece of CGI, hands down. I will be harassing Corridor Crew to look at this every single day now. I’m genuinely in awe of this short film.

[@DarioRuellan]

I was thinking the same. This masterpiece deserves the exposition such a channel can bring.

[@soob5856]

I'm glad you're getting the recognition you deserve for this. It's really incredible.

[@mata4r43un]

The visual, the sound, the atmosphere of this whole short SF video is simply INSANE

[@MonarchyControl285]

This was genuinely insane to watch considering I just saw it passing on my recommended. One of the best animations I've seen on KZbin, and probably in my entire life. Amazing and succint story, and some of the shots were truly incredible. Keep up the good work!

[@paulchadeisson5891]

thx for kind words 🙏🙏🙏

[@perkygrubb]

I too got it in recommendations and was going to pass, but something told me…

[@jsgamerpro2359]

I think this is the best animation I ever saw

[@landgutleben]

I came here for those massive cinematic animations... but what blew me away was the main question of this brilliant movie: Where are we going?! It gave me goosebumps. It is fascinating and horrible what we will possibly be achieving if we continue following our path. As a work of art I hope this film will get all the prices and rewards it can get. As a philosophical and moral statement I hope it will gain far more attention. Congratulations. You created a masterpiece. Short, mighty & intense. Showing the right pictures & asking the right questions - at the right time.

[@nsv8613]

The question in itself is valid, but the way it is asked here is stupid. But maybe if most people are so blind, this film has performed its function

The acting is shit, plain and simple.

[@yurithebrave]

The contrast between the amazing CGI visuals and cheap talking head shots, also between the serious, eloquent narrator and the stupid, cringe dialogues from the interviewed people is just uncanny. I feel like this was intended, it took me a minute to realize this is supposed to be funny and ridiculous. "It's like watching some kinda giant layered manufacturing machine." What a masterpiece.

[@djr1943]

Amazing images and the clarity with which they are shown. Kudos to the team that created this. Marvelous!

The amount of work to make and render all of this in 3D is incredible... the shots with the actors too... But also, the setting, the idea, the environmental design... incredible all around

The point here is that what I saw was real. On another earth in the universe. Social parasites are engaged in this, capturing those living on these lands, enslaving them, and subsequently plundering the lands, destroying them.

This is absolutely fantastic. It gives me Homeworld vibes big time. Wish this were made into a series or movie.

A bit of Homeworld, a bit of Armored Core, a bit of those giant background factories seen in Titanfall and Destiny.

I remember seeing Paul's graphics for the first time 7 or 8 years ago. I was utterly stunned, jaws on the floor, just watching at them, wanting to see, know, absorb more, and fantasizizing about that world. Until now, they are my desktop's wallpapers ;) The only other artist that managed to rip that pure, nostalgic feeling from me before was Simon Stålenhag. I am so happy that I could watch this short movie, thank you man, thank you for making me feel like that again.

Just outstanding. So believable it’s unbelievable. Please !!!!! Fund this crew to make this into a movie, Netflix series or whatever. The storey here MUST be unfolded and laid out. I’m stunned by every moment of this.
