Mostly because the story and the rules of the world were interesting right away. Without that, the great vfx would be boring and without the vfx, the story wouldn't be so relevant. This was fun. Nicely done. What happened to the friend? Who is the company man? What's his story? Who designed the spinning emp? Why didnt she say "come with us if you want to live?" What does mom do when she realizes the guys are gone? How long does that take? Sounds like it could be a good arc. If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Is Tom Holland too old or expensive to play the lead? How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

Or did they turn on a program that turned the drones aggressive to people who messed with them? How has this happened before if they just turned on the setting? Theres obviously an entire underground group devoted to fighting delivery drones gone bad. So did everyone in that group hack the drones, turn on that setting and then get attacked first? That just doesn't make sense maybe im missing something. Of course it all needs more context I guess but that just seems convoluted.

Short films are like dreams with no conclusions. You want an end but can't is a dream.

[@StijnOrlans]

This is so well executed, congrats on everyone who worked on this! Would love to see a full movie like this :)

[@bkalesti]

Yay! :D

[@tamijane9100]

This needs to be a movie or TV series.

[@82vette28]

Not a TV series. Those always turn into soap operas.

[@nitric94]

this could be a black mirror potential

[@chingkheimang4766]

This will be i heard

[@BlendThatFilm]

As someone who listens to filmmaking podcasts everyday this ticks all the boxes of what they they talk about when it comes to proof of concept shorts. You have a great concept, it’s produced well, full of wow factor, well acted, fantastical theme, you can see where it will jump off to, has a named star (and a big one at that) already has great marketing in place etc etc. If this doesn’t get you ‘in rooms’ then I don’t know what will. Well done to all involved.

[@cpichado]

Blend That Film would you mind sharing some filmmaking podcasts you find worthy of spending some time listening to?

[@BlendThatFilm]

Chris Pichado Indie Film Hustle. Just Shoot it. Making Movies is hard. Film Riot. In Love with the Process. Indy Mogul.

[@cpichado]

Blend That Film thank you! I had no idea Film Riot had a podcast!

[@libradragon]

@@cpichado Great question, thank you for asking! I am going to immerse.

[@libradragon]

@@BlendThatFilm Thank you for this list. Future bliss, is what I am thinking.

[@yashvardhan6429]

Who just came here after the Andrew Price Newsletter?

[@51dani]

Me lol

[@kovykchandler]

ME LOL

[@rageops]

Yep

[@sissh5761]

Me, I watched this ages ago and was so excited to hear they'll be making it into a series. Epic.

[@hashir]

Seen it before, but just found out that it has been picked up for a new series on Andrew's newsletter!

[@wandan98]

This looks like a Pixar's style live action.. look's bomb

[@pavlokeyross]

Funny you say that. The director was an intern at Pixar.

[@dudeguy8553]

6 years of work, my dude.

[@DrRaven0]

I'm not sure if someone else already mentioned this, but have you thought of making a pitch at Netflix or Amazon Prime? This would work as either a movie or series, and I'm now extremely curious to see what it's all about. I'm hoping for an extreme twist near the end of the story. Good luck with your venture.

[@rowni]

Hoping for Black Mirror! His work would be perfect for it!

[@colinhendrikx9648]

I don't think Amazon will like the 'evil delivery drone' thing tho...

[@wren4077]

yea taking into account how easily netflix dishes out sci fi drivel I'm sure this stands a chance.

[@TyrDrum]

@@colinhendrikx9648 Maybe they would support just to make the public's idea of it stay as "science fiction".

[@pecscolor]

@@colinhendrikx9648 They don't have a problem with that. Just watch the episode titled "Autofac" of Electric Dreams by Amazon Video and you'll see.

[@lilacdoe7945]

This has more potential than most of the stuff coming out of Hollywood nowadays. Thanks for sharing.

[@ianbenjaminkenny]

This is so bloody good! Totally gripping, the concept, the acting, directing, effects, production design, sound, everything brilliant. Delighted that it’s going to be a TV series, congrats Colin and all involved!

[@bigstunna2049]

It loved this it felt like a futuristic version of the movie war games

[@jonathanfries5062]

Exactly

[@rockzs74r]

The one with Matthew Broderick right?

[@ab9840]

This short movie seemed like that full screen movie Eyeborgs. Trailer for those that have not seen it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioaXnYCrbd9qZqs

[@sparksycat]

Like an episode of Black Mirror. True quality.

[@SonyEnthusiast]

The best so far was that doctor who turned pain from his patients into pleasure

[@sparksycat]

I know, seen season 1-5. The freakiest ones for me are the season 2 Christmas special with the cookies or the augmented reality game one.

[@LeelPeel]

I can't get over how absolutely fantastic this has turned out! 10 minutes on the edge of my seat. Idea, story, cast, sound and visual effects on point! Total perfection. And yes, we need this to be made into a full-length feature or better even, a show. This proof leaves you wanting more and the level of suspense is binge-worthy. Outstanding work!!

[@emeraldtopaz]

This is incredible I'm literally speechless The VFX, acting, writing, everything just meshes together to make this beautiful video that really needs to be a feature-length film because I'm left wanting so much more Great job!

[@DevineLove333]

I agree

[@msci3067]

This is amazing, this is one of the most well-executed sci fi shorts I have ever seen. This NEEDS to be a full length movie.

[@axillaryroulis460]

Jude law: "I need tech support Indian scammer: "Hello sir, Edward Gary here how may I help you?" And "please enter your credit card details"

Lmao

loooool

I read that in my head with a perfect Indian Accent. LOL

[@GammingHunter]

i want a full movie. if i was a millionaire i would invest so much into this film

[@bluehorse4217]

I fucking know right

[@jeremiahn.2718]

I wouldn't, concept is cool but the story is very rushed and confusing. Cgi is good but I'd take story over Cgi, CGI you can invest money in but more money won't make the story better.

[@Affe71]

Aaaaand that's why you're not a millionaire

[@spicy_me]

@@Affe71 i was going to say the same before i saw ur comment.

[@GammingHunter]

@@Affe71 truuuuuuuu

[@NachoTX]

Incredible! Brilliant! Clever! I hope you can make a full movie out of this, you got my attention.

[@keelahrose]

This is so professional looking even without the addition of Jude Law. I hope it gets you an agent and a feature deal and all that good stuff. Good luck and I can't wait to see the full film one day!

[@tigerroar6071]

After years of waiting Skywatch finally arrived . Out standing sound design and superb VFX . This film is so great! I want to see this as a feature film in the theater!

[@baileykalesti3949]

Me too! That's the aim! :)

[@doctorstrange367]

This would make a good Black Mirror episode.

[@noodles9554]

I thought that! This gave black mirror vibes.

[@laurahall2710]

Good call!!!

[@Count3d]

Lovely integration of VFX, smooth camerawork, good performances. Liked production design details like the paper flying around in the alley. Some shades of Rear Window. Really nice short! Would watch a movie.

[@GeorgeStreicherMusic]

This is absolutely fantastic. I want to see original concepts like this on the big screen!

[@danielczibulka7484]

I want to see the follow-up. It dragged me into the world of the movie so darn effectively, I literally craved to see more of it.

[@zanderjames6118]

Definitely makes me want to see more.

[@billowen3285]

Zander James the mark of a great short film

[@porthovni]

Aww, I was looking forward to Mr. Miller's reaction to the item swap.

[@adamsmaruj5908]

I gotta say, that initial nexport sequence, and the way it went from full screen TV to show the actor sitting on the couch, was stupidly well done, so seamless!

[@bjrnarhovland9741]

This was the shortest but greatest black mirror episode so far

[@PhilipMaiwald]

Awesome! It has definitely been worth waiting for this. Thanks to the whole team. Story is catchy and you've built up such a good tension. And that's Jude Law?!! Hope you can tell the rest of the story in a feature movie!

[@Danylevich]

Yes! That IS Jude Law!

[@vineiac]

dude, this truly gave me the emotions a movie should give. amazing work

[@timothecadotte]

This is by far the best thing I've seen this year! Congrats to everyone who's been involved in the project!

[@Saunderrs]

I'm not usually a big fan of sci-fi stuff but this had me captivated from start to end. Those 10 minutes felt like a minute with how fast time went, this HAS to be made into a full movie!!

[@JTMusicbox]

I watched your “how to get a world-famous actor...” video then this... Wow! It’s awesome that you got Jude Law, but seriously this whole video is better than most professional movies with or without him!

[@happyfish1212]

yea.. but that extra 7 sec cameo give a great cherry on top.. imagine it was robert dj.. gonna be even awesome

[@JTMusicbox]

Saitama SenSei no doubt the cameo is the icing on the cake. I agree it’s awesome, but I’m just saying the cake is amazing.

[@shannonm3841]

whoa , the quality of this short is amazing . Amazing what you can get from volunteers and kickstarter. Please make more.
