[@mattfoley4425]

Here's another beautifully rendered sci-fi short with absolutely no coherent plot line. Great graphics is not an excuse for a lack of story.

[@Dakarai_Knight]

Matt Foley the fact that it was never intended to have story is an excuse. It's a graduation project for their portfolio. So they get hired into a vfx crew. It's to show they can make good cgi. The story thing tho... in the real job market these people will most likely never create the stories they render. The purpose wasn't story because their purpose isn't story.

[@92INSTIGATOR]

I would love to see this as a series. Just the places and story's to explore are endless and can be real amazing.

[@torhgrim]

Hey guys, I'm one of the creator of this film. We're really happy you like it, thank you for all your comments :D. There is actually a making of available on vimeo if you search for the archiver, but it's only in french sorry.

[@livefree316]

Hair pray to God you're still alive and I pray you come to know God the Creator who is the way of Hope in Jesus Christ is the way of true love salvation peace and victory

[@DavidEvans_dle]

That ending musical score, the build up! I't killing!

[@thudthedestroyer515]

Electronic voices too harsh! Almost need sub-titles! Subtle movements inside the cock pit showing the pilot actually trying to control the vessel was brilliant! The magnetic lighting on the boots was also excellent. This sort of attention to how things work and showing subtle functions without having to explain it in the dialog are things that draw me to these types of movies! Great job! Best animation I have seen to date! I am now hungering for more!

[@MrEvan312]

One cannot deny the effect Bungie's Spartan Armor designs have influenced just about every power armor suit, EVA suit, or just scifi armor ever made since their first Halo installment.

[@JohnSmith-ry1jc]

I thought that Halo was a game, and a HALO maneuver was a military insertion. High Altitude Low Opening. As in parachutes.

[@andrewhough8912]

you'd be correct. he was talking of the game.

[@BrainToMush]

MrEvan312 I'm not trying to upstage you or anything, but that is a point of view that really is pretty difficult to support. Straczynski's cutting edge, well ahead of its time, Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future, released in 1987, was largely centered around power armor suits, and featured some very advanced power suits that I think served as the basis for most of the power suits today, including the classic Master Chief Suit. In between 1987 and 2001 there have been several other movies and shows that have in part advanced the tradition of sci-fi power armor, including Space: Above and Beyond (1995), Starship Troopers (1997), Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles (1999), which had suits that those in Halo surprisingly resemble quite markedly. It wasn't till 2001 that Halo was released, and while no doubt it's been tremendously influential on power suits since then, it's difficult to say just what each individual power suit design was influenced by.

[@BrainToMush]

After thinking about it more, I want to add that when Halo originally came out I felt it was largely influenced by the 1998 hit game, Tribes, developed by Dynamix under the umbrella of Sierra Entertainment. Many of the ideas in Halo seemed like refinements of elements of Tribes, including some of the suit styles, the general look of the landscapes, and the concept of loading players into vehicles driven by another player. As a team of seasoned gamers, there's no way Bungee could have had no exposure to Tribes. Therefore, I'm inclined to charge that Tribes served as a major inspiration of Halo and its design.

[@CaptainSpycrab]

BrainToMush I for one have never heard of Tribes.

[@sclogse1]

These sort of things are master thesis stuff for these people. Examples of their skill sets. And auditions too.

[@digitaldevil7522]

The whole point is to showcase talent. Working on a project like this is what gets people noticed so they can get hired. Understand now.

[@Helljumper425]

This is some of the most natural animation work I've ever seen. Very well done.

[@TheJECNova]

That was amazingly and beautifully done. I'd certainly love seeing it evolve into a series!

[@zainabe9503]

Multi Award winning my ass... This is a perfect example of the greatest pitfall many videomakers fall into: they think cool effects & cool cgi are the be all end all of a video, and they forget the most important part: STORY. Effects & CGI are just tool, tool to enhance your story.

[@CaptainCorde]

+Zen RD Damn dude i can imagine multiple story lines for this CG, if you can't then something is wrong with you...

[@zainabe9503]

Sure there is a story, but that story is garbage, no matter how much imagination you have. Besides, it's the filmmaker's DUTY to present us the story, no? It's not us the audience to THINK UP & imagine a story ourselves.. hahaha

[@fustigamatti]

+Zen RD i agree at 90%

[@62Tob]

+Zen RD Dude, I came from this school, our purpose with our graduation movie is to be hire by Vfx Studio, so it's normal to show our skill in it....It's like a final show reel of our job. We are not directors, we are digital artists, but we have to do direction to make a movie. We touch at everything to make it but our specialty is Digital Art.

[@DOT107]

+Zen RD there is a story in it and a simple one too, short as it may it's an open ended story that can be interpreted in a different way. A Man with a suit picks a flower to see life in the distance planet but it seem he is taken a gaze afar. Flashback then started-now here we can put our own understanding if the AI is evil or good....same with the synth which you can then connect the start and finish to give it a simple story.

[@digitaldevil7522]

Sometimes a short film is meant to show off as a proof of concept. Sometimes it's meant to show of an idea. it's meant to show off the skill sets of those involved. It's not meant to be an entire movie or even a complete story. It's a short.

[@nacho74]

very cool ,a little bit like dead space and halo are combined .It was amazing

[@dominickefrim3088]

Unit 55 was gorgeous. The design was incredible to look at and the space enviroments were amazing. Fun stuff.

[@kyks6771]

🗃️5️⃣5️⃣👨🏻‍💻

[@lockudlad]

I could see a future to this if some network would take it up. The possibilities are almost endless.

[@RCWrightX89]

This would be an awesome film.

[@saqibshafin]

Awesome! Go on.Release it as serial shows.

[@PhilosophicallyAmerican]

I love the design of that armor.

[@Hey-fd1wu]

I know right? I fell in love with it and it's detail design 10 months ago. The arm pads are a bit big though. Not really a big deal but if it was optional I would've shrinken them, or add more detail to em.

[@KawL1ga]

More people need to see this.

[@kttb1979]

Excellent texturing.

[@DarkArrowI0I]

I REALLY want more. REALLY REALLY REALLY want more.

[@ShinMoroFilms]

Wonderful visual story telling.

[@matthewcao4993]

The first 10 seconds already had me hooked

[@stufaman]

And not an over paid, light hogging, surgically modified actor in sight. I want imagination and this delivers.

[@ADBL1]

Damn. That was it? It was great so far.

[@stephenconnell]

Interesting film that highlights many people's talents. Maybe its a pitch for money to make a full on animated feature?

[@MrRolidus]

I definitely would like to see a full film come out of this.

[@brianmell7299]

I thought that was giving hellashish props to Halo as well.people must think that was the first platform for this type of CGI, Damn kids...I'll tell ya, when I was their age all we had like this was Contra...& in my mind he looked kinda like this guy! That & a Sears catalog my friend:)

[@wasatchsatelitte1398]

amazing! wow...yes there should so be a series of this on tv......pokemon retire and bring this to cartoon network! This blows anything outta the water on tv right now.....totally amazing! wow...

[@elwynhiggins6409]

Archiver Hd was very in its use of CGi and visually stimulating to watch, it drew me in from the start with its mysterious main character and I would like to see more and I give it my backing and would like too see more

[@djose92]

they do need to make a series out of this i hope they keep making more

[@Dragoonprime117]

I would love to see the story behind this film be created, I think it would be interesting as well as exciting to watch to the end.

[@warrenrayledbetter9957]

All of the short stories I have seen lately are the same. They are like sections taken out of fully complete films. A short film, no matter how creative the writer is trying to be, has to have a start, middle and end.

[@Armoroid1]

Wow, I am utterly stunned by this, the animation was so good, but, I didn't think some of the music fit with the theme, beside that, I wish that was an entire movie.

[@haulindanse3265]

This "story" shows; Art; Insite; Beauty and Appreciation. Please don't permit negative comments destroy what is a Real Chance to make this into a Series. No program is perfect all the time for all the people, so disregard Dantick09. People like that just go around destroying and taking down what they themselves can NOT create. Keep the Belief in Yourself regardless of what others may think. Respectfully.

[@simonpender8331]

Good graphics but what was it all about ? No story.. no connection to the character.

[@Knapweed]

Nice work. It has a game cut-scene vibe.

[@jonathanhink9374]

These guys should be game designers

[@tiro7414]

Well I hope the students know they would have a colt following if they made a movie like that. I want to see more of it.

[@FebiMaster]

I think this is more of a.. animation portfolio than a full fledged movie, they made this to showcase their skills and tools that they can use and the results of said tools, can't really blame them if that was the case

[@Herobuilder21]

I saw da popup and dis would make an AWESOME series!

[@TheSamuraiGirl32]

This is way better than Halo.

[@Phantomfile]

This reminded me of Destiny. Its like a sequence of an Exo-Titan.

[@gnagyusa]

Beautiful 3D models and cinematography.

[@sifakid]

I loved it. Please do a full movie.

[@nou8704]

This has to be a movie

[@huseyinucuncu1605]

I fckn hate it and love it at the same time, not this video in particular, how they makes these short scifi/cgi movies. Because they are so short and awesome, they leave you with a lot of question marks. It's like your partner is telling you to pull it out when it just started to become fun. :D

[@shhquiet7161]

This needs to be turned into a movie telling what all happened before he was on autopilot

[@TheNesdsachannel]

Looks awesome, hope to see more.

[@Filosochar]

Need more Archiver

[@cloudsquatch]

Why has this not been made into an animated series that runs for 6-8 seasons, have it's own movie, and eventually a live action version that will bum out all of it's fans!?

[@alfredmolina32]

great matrix vision.

[@angusmcfarlen5671]

agreed, i dont even know what this thing was about. you have the skills to make it look good, but you have to actually have a story

[@TKcuttzz]

it is now 2024 ive been recommended to this & beast animation good job.

[@Hey-fd1wu]

you should definitely make your own movies!

[@MrUp2011]

Congratulations very good short film! From Argentina

[@lemmonsinmyeyes]

This is great! Reminds me very much of Bungie-Halo cinematics (which is great because I consider their work to be one of the best ever done)

[@mrbishi1000]

already engaged with the story before it ended too soon. would enjoy that as a feature length.

[@JackedNerd93]

very cool graphics never seen anything like this before

[@xSy7]

this is insanely good you'd think this was made by a legendary GROUP not one person!i beg you sir. make more!

[@xSy7]

o nevermind he wasnt alone :)

[@CinnamonMuffinz]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@smiley3012]

that looks awesome. like to see more.

[@pomsam4817]

jamais colia uma flor ！a natureza precisa de cada uma delas para gerar a proxima ！；

[@computergeek741]

Absolutely incredible.

[@SkinnerZoo]

ilusjon I didn't totally understand my first time, but I figure it out second time through. Phenomenal work and would love to see this as a series

[@fishapiller]

This is art and a good film

[@zergallyful]

looks pretty good

[@QuantumAnime]

The human race destroyed itself. This alien is an archiver, one whom collects artifacts and information so that the coming races may know what lived earlier in the universe.

[@nickerus-ooo7874]

the collision changed the direction of his ships velocity

[@classicalconspirator3345]

This needs to be a thing. I would pay for this to be a thing. :3

[@Charlie_Alpha_Lima]

2 questions: 1. What multiple awards did this win? and 2. What??????

[@bombomos]

THIS LOOKS SOOOOOOOO GOOOD

[@excession444]

There is a song by Radiohead called "Pyramid Song". When I listened to it one time, I had all these crazy ideas about a guy in space. I found this video the next day, and played to that song. Start the videos first scene as the music starts at 6 seconds, and watch some crazy mutuality between beats and movements.

[@omdway]

Must have watched this close to 20 times now :D

[@jordangrey2208]

Absolutely stunning visuals. Too bad about the near absence of a discernible plot.

[@fastfeet31]

Man I gotta tell you guys/gals this SyFy short was really done very well, looks like you put a lot of work into it and it pays off Great.. I enjoyed watching your film and will past it on. all the best to all of you Lou

[@joshhayl7459]

"Pass" it on, NOT "PAST" it on. You could also say that you have "Passed" it on.... you're welcome.

[@milrevko]

Yes, make it in to a series!!!

[@rolandomartinez9076]

That is passed tense, while u r in the process it is archiving.

[@shassa90]

This does look awesome. I would hope something more can come of it.

[@BigTonySF]

Great Work, keep it up!

[@NoName28716]

i hope this will become a movie

[@Furzkampfbomber]

Great! The only complaint I have that I am having a really hard time to understand the spoken language, especially since my first language is not english. This could be improved.

[@markstorsina1787]

I have the same problem, but that's the only one I have. IT WAS FANTASTIC!!!!

[@RS-me3wo]

Yes, the music should stop when the characters are talking.

[@bitepigman]

The robot voice

[@talltrea]

Halo style?.. first off theirs more dead space in that suit then halo, dead space was even around longer with the full body suits then halo. second off i like the sudden matrix and most android movie bases, the ship scene had something most space moves/games lack and that's those maneuvering thrusters, i like. Amassing job, hope to see more and children don't start raging about whats what. only trolls will care.

[@DarkArrowI0I]

Yeah but it would be pretty boring if half the video was soundless. Its a short film, enjoy the graphics and how well its done.

[@richardreinert6477]

Truly fantastic graphics. A wonderful job. BRAVO!!!

[@tacg6799]

I think the name really reveal the meaning of the story, he is an archiver and his mission is to make sure data is collected from the universe as well as dangered species, at first, I thought he destroyed the city but looking back he did pick the rose and throw it with anger which means he clearly doesn't like what happened there, the city was beautifully built we are talking Utopia class megastructure, probably he predicted the civilization self-destruction and transformation into a dystopian landscape that is why he is there. after removing the helmet, despite being advanced class cyborg with feelings and self-awareness he still has humankind features it appears that he is still holding to those roots and did not give up on his origins. maybe there is a plot where he is the one who destroyed the city and kept the record for himself but he uploaded the data somewhere to his superiors, not the machine which is clearly not the supreme commander as its more computer than an AI requesting identification code of some sort. but to more sophisticated stakeholders on the universe who observe but not interfere.

[@GwenMarsh]

this is leaving me wanting the rest of the story! Brilliant so far.......

[@louisstav548]

awsome suit!!!!!

[@Plainofices]

this should be made into an actual movie or game

[@Shaiddthelost]

Amazing!

[@78beast]

I like the Battlestar Galactica camera movements ..... nice job! I want to see a movie.

[@malcolmkey1464]

words cannot describe the excellence i just witnessed...a very well done from me...and yes please make this a series:)

[@pj4092]

Deep alien voices aren't awesome when you can't understand what they're saying.

[@computerdude6919]

Thank you because I was thinking the same thing.

[@TheLoremistress]

Agreed

[@pj4092]

@SKG SLICER But how do you know that?

[@pj4092]

@SKG SLICER Who exactly are "they"? And how do you know about their thought processes?

[@pj4092]

@SKG SLICER OK, I looked deep inside and there they were, you were right. But i still can't understand what they're saying.

[@MathiasWest2093]

Really well made, but lacks story.

[@RedswedeOutdoors]

If you turn this in to a TV-show or a movie I will watch it!! Bring it on! :D

[@DuncanEscNJ]

Its like Toonami of the future :) very cool

[@GreyWeirCat]

Love that artwork.

[@zakmitchell9398]

Needs to be a web series or movie.

[@Kenaz]

Amazing work, and well done to all involved!

[@NikhilVetam]

Spectacular Visuals.
