SCAB (Sci-Fi Short Film)

[@ajayimontague1669]

As parents you can only hope your kids remember the stuff we say when they need it. Well done.

[@CaseyFinSF]

Just watched this for the second time, and it holds up very well as a full and complete story. More indie films could learn from this and not leave you hanging at the end.

[@biggestbrowneyes]

STAY CALM STAY FOCUSED STAY ALIVE....Wise words for us all ! Thanks

[@deniswilde1544]

In Christ.

[@beowulfvladmax7710]

In reality. Leave religious claims elsewhere.

[@mylittleviking4235]

There’s no ship to save us from COVID 19. Christ hasn’t shown up either. Buckle up.

[@Randytherumbler]

👍. That's right. Don't let or allow your emotions be wrecking your flow. To impair our common sense and logic of our judgment. Why,you ask? Because we're human (?). We're not robots. We're not perfect. NOBODY is! We don't live in a perfect world.

[@Randytherumbler]

​​@@beowulfvladmax7710👍✌️. That's right. I don't care *how* religious anyone is, we're not perfect. We don't live in a perfect world. NOBODY is! Don't care what anyone thinks,reads,and/or says. Ignorance is a poor excuse for anyone being so narrow minded. So shallow, superficial,and can be sexist as well. Xenophobic. Homophobic. Islamphobic. Whatever -phobic. America's a free country. People can say whatever they want. People can think whatever they want. Including me. Doesn't mean I HAVE to agree. Or listen to. Having free will doesn't mean hardly anything if the kind of people aren't very smart. In knowing any better of realizing their shortcomings. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Believe me when I say this..... Religious bigotry is one of the biggest reasons there are so very problems in this country. That's just one of them. It was nothing to do with this sci-fi mini-flick. It was good enough in my book.

[@normdoty]

you all saw the pop-up illuminated sight right ?? this is an electronic ak(xx) it shoots plasma bullets not copper lead hence no magazine required !!

[@rcartaya2000]

normdoty lol i love it ak47s of the future shoots plasma rounds.

[@mirkopg69]

U right, maybe a little bit of new " make up" like more futuristic, is cheap details to do. 👍

[@flyingdutchman6984]

Apparently no need to release the safety either. 🤣🤣🤣

[@panzerabwerkanone]

But why make the future weapons look like AKM's, rubber Beretta trainers and Daisy Red Ryder BB guns?

[@YourBoyMarc12]

Great short film! I was hooked from beginning to end. I could honestly see this as a real sci-fi franchise. I know someone thought the acting in this was terrible but it's definitely way better acting than most home made films honestly. Great work once again. 10/10.

[@DanielSnedden]

To all of the negative comments about the rifle. This was filmed in Canada. They have very strict gun laws. He can't carry a fully functional semiautomatic rifle. Get over it. It was a great video.

[@Xiccarph1]

Agree...got to use what you have access to

[@karlt8233]

Canadians can still have a magazine in the rifle but it has to be pinned to accept 5 rounds. They also have access to prop guns for movies that look and feel like the real thing but are not capable of loading or firing a live round. So.. They could have been a bit more accurate on a prop that was very prominately displayed in the film.

[@rabidcougar6465]

They changed the laws when the aliens arrived......

[@이이-n4z8y]

What I have semi auto rifles

[@jteuvonnen]

The guy has a magic AK. It shoots without a magazine attached. Amazing.

[@duanekamstra8890]

The film left me wanting to see more. It would make a good feature. Good acting. Especially the young lady. Looking forward to watching the sequil.

[@richarddismore7499]

This is better than 99% of the crap that comes out of Hollywood these days. Nicely done.

[@duceposting1831]

couldn't get an Ak mag tho

[@nm_bob998]

Great film. The issue of the missing magazine is pointless. This is about people. And the actions and interactions were believable and well executed. Thank you!

[@Brianchse]

Actually things missing like that make the whole thing seem cheap and take the immersion away. It also has a safety that he never disengages. Details matter if you want to tell a good story.

[@secondhandguru3558]

This was so good and beautifully shot that you forget you are watching a short. Look forward to the next installment

[@conniecarroll7222]

Liked this very much, The guy didn't want to take the little girl and grew to not only to care for her but to depend on her help.

[@aborgeshonorato]

I love this young actress, I saw her in the short movie: The infected. Cool👏👏👏

[@bonobogal]

a fun time...the girl was amazing...the guy made me laugh...there are bits of genius within> Cant wait for more.

[@lighthouse8890]

..he didn't need to make her feel bad..when her Momma just killed.

[@draco-deamon]

Very few shot scifi films get me hooked to watch from start to , this is one of those films . This was an awesome film and i wish it had been longer . Acting was great , story line was great hell the whole thing was perfect from start to finish

[@saintlybeginnings]

What an excellent short film. Excellent storyline, acting, & filming. Bravo 👍🏾

[@davidhomer78]

It didn't quite make sense but a lot of short fillms don't. This was better than most.

[@pauldavis9387]

This was really good. Imagine what could be done with a larger budget and more time.

[@petersmitt2485]

This is one of the better films that I have seen. Except for the glaring error of the AK-47 with no mag. Good acting, good story line.

[@neatznotso]

That was so great! I've been binging short films the past week, I'm totally obsessed, but this is defo one of my favs. What made me love it so much was definitely the relationship between the two main protagonists.

[@neatznotso]

@@OdeProductions awesome! Can't wait to see it.

[@Shyguyexplores]

Excellent :) This deserves some major funding to produce as a much larger Hollywood movie.

[@DJMarcosArenas]

Friend, I watch a lot of films from Dust, CG Brothers, Rakka and other independents, I like this style a lot, because they are short and objective, I'm addicted ha ha. I think that's why KZbin recommended your channel. I loved these two films with this duo. Congratulations and thank you very much.

[@ildefonsogiron4034]

Great! I love happy endings, specially for kids.

[@latchdeadbolt]

Far above average. Thank you for the vid.

Is that space ship , really a lamp shade from Ikea?

[@goudagirl6095]

I was thinking this: Producer/Director: what do we do for the ship? Tecnical director: hm...how about an upside down birthday cake! P/D: Genius!

Didn't seem long enough... maybe I'm getting old Many of these are throwbacks to we old SF readers of the 60s & early 70s

[@alejandrodecesare5929]

Suffice to say, way better than most films of the same genre in Hollywood

[@simonblackwood4672]

Really liked that. Well done and thank you for a great short story. Stay calm. Stay focused. Stay alive

[@ernestedwards7250]

Thank you all.

[@GlasUndMetall]

I truly enjoyed this, it was captivating.

[@PiggyBackers]

well done! Mark Kiazyk shared this with me on twitter this morning. I'll be sharing this for sure. I'm watching films everyday and I was hooked right from the start of this film. thank you!

[@rodrickau]

The creator has achieved the unachievable in the portrayal of the bonding between a grown man and a beautiful young blonde girl with long hair, without any sexual connotations. In today's day and age, this is a most unusual event and the creators deserve a prize. One piece of lack of continuity regarding logistics is the night time scene when the girl holds a cindering twig as a weapon of defense, when she had been given a pistol and was walking around with it all day, carrying it in her right hand.

[@warricktyler6759]

Some of these shorts are very very good

[@416loren]

Wish this one was.

[@philliphancock3666]

I definitely agree with you

[@philliphancock3666]

[@nikospitr]

great film. With begining, middle and end, unlike many shorts

[@deborahhupp4700]

I really enjoyed this film, can't wait to see more from you!

[@otherpatrickgill]

A stellar performance by your young actress. she's done this before, hasn't she? your guns are weird. Good luck with the sequel

[@adamclark9253]

I loved the bullet whipping by the camera

[@lcarole3131]

I loved this. period. The necklace connection added the childhood fairytale element befitting the brave young man and the beautiful & strong child❣️

[@rainbowsally2001]

Beautiful. The acting was excellent and it was a lot of fun to watch. The compromise to fit the short film format was a good tradeoff though it could have been longer. I agree. Brilliant.

[@lighthouse8890]

[@danlarev6021]

Very interesting plot and excellent acting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟

[@onichi2995]

Always zigzag when running ...when there's shooting. Good storytelling :)

[@stevetreloar6602]

Oni Chi, That's not exactly standard military doctrine; that's hollywood. Zig zag running just makes you a target for longer especially when you change direction.

[@patrickdurham8393]

That was excellent! So often the shorts are exactly that: short on plot, short on depth and very short on resolution. This was a giant of a short!

[@StevenSmith6942_]

very good flick

[@daddyprof]

Really a well-done film. Very touching. I do wish we had some insight about the war and illness, but that's asking a lot for less than 20 minutes. Really triumphing film. One commenter was confused. They did not get that this did not entirely come from a place of linear time, I fear.

[@СЕРГЕЙСЕРГЕЕВ-ц5з5ш]

how did he make two shots without a magazine?

[@paulbutterworthbillericay]

All these movies points to the same thing, A Mad Max type World

[@TheNicHoward]

The girl who played Lex was the best actor in this.

[@jerryshunk7152]

The girl's speech cadence elicited a great amount of empathy, which trumped all the directorial inaccuracies. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

[@blue_eyes2929]

The AK sound realistic I like that

[@Ritercrazy]

Mr. Plett, you did a great job.

[@ericahenley9048]

really? wow. and the beautiful cool things you noticed? am glad there was no mag with children on the set. anyway, what do i know? i'm just a noob. thanx for the great little flick, can't wait for a sequel!

[@richardwiley5933]

Really? No mag on the set? AK's won't fire without a mag, and, mags don't load themselves, so, what's your point.

[@PenelopePitstop069]

Sure would love to see this in a movie. This is kind of like Lost and Walking Dead combined.

[@silasjones8262]

Good little Sci fi flick

[@drjohnson98]

Wish I'd seen this one first. Well done. How long between this and the sequel? The girl seemed significantly older. How did they wind up back in the soup if they made it to the ship?

[@IgorGoldkind]

Brilliantly plotted. Slow steady revealment. Good acting and superb cinematography.

[@tristan7586]

Good short story and half decent acting. Not over the top, some minor prop mistakes and the like but entertaining. Thanks!

[@jackmcentire2767]

No magazine in the rifle? Seriously? At least the pistol he gave the girl had a magazine in it. Probably empty,but it had one. Unlike his rifle.

[@kurushdalal]

One of the nicer shorts i have seen, well done

[@MotionBoatFilms]

Brilliant short! Visually quite spectacular.

[@joelee5875]

good film, and has a moral.

[@joelee5875]

Thank YOU Paul Plett for your excellent work.

[@G56AG]

Not bad overall, just a couple of funny things that are prop related, the AK47 had no magazine, and when he gets shot right outside the ship, when you get a close up of the weapon used at 13:53, its a Daisy BB gun!

[@moreality7719]

I love it - thats what makes a good Film even without many Specialeffects - Intelligent Characters and Charisma - Get on with that Stuff Please!

[@theonlybuzz1969]

I really enjoyed watching your video, very good.

[@OdeProductions]

Thanks Phil!

[@thisisit3737]

Wheres the goddamn mag in the AK! Like does he only have one in the Chamber? Gah...

[@redmoonmountain]

Very good story! But, I guess the firearms are a futuristic mod that turns toy guns into energy weapons. ;)

[@fourteatwo8670]

Nicely done.

[@vencislav_krumov]

This must be a part of the short movie - The infected.

[@1TalldrinkH2O]

Good thing there was medicine on that ship because the little girl accidentally contaminated the man with the disease when she put the bandage on him.

[@jamesshaw3230]

Keep on KEEPING ON never ever give up. GOD made you for a reason. Fight til then. MAY GOD walk with all of you. GOD bless you and your family.

It's nice to think so, isn't it? If you look at what actually happens in this world, this wishful thinking is laid bare as the fantasy that it is.

[@rbear4574]

[@terryf5131]

Good job..AK needs a mag..nice flick.

[@slimbim77]

The AK looks extremely like a soft air.And why does it have no magazine?

[@somebloke3869]

It's some sort of futuristic weapon that looks like an AK.

[@grahametaylor3842]

Great flick Paul Plett. You should make a prequel that explains how/when/why Earth came to be a world with ak47s converted to a zapping type weapons. I'd watch it.
