Sleeping Giants - Short Film

Come forth from iron

[@maxlow-foon1475]

Hi everyone, this was a zero budget production made with a 3 man crew. I hope it's an encouraging example of what can be done with minimal resources. If you're an aspiring filmmaker like myself, send me a message as I'm always open to network and collaborate.

I find the girl to clean for someone who is sleeping outdoors and wandering around.

[@RCake]

Well well, somebody has certainly appreciated Simon Stålenhag's work here 😊

[@stevejewett3650]

Definitely one of the better short films regardless of budget. The soundtrack really creates a myriad of emotions, and the actor is photogenic. Disturbing yet calming.

[@JosephKeenanisme]

Stands solid on it's own, but with a crew of 3 and zero budget boosts it up a bit because of the extra work it took to get there.

I'm sure that the doll is considered a best friend to the young lady. I know that many ladies from around the world, young and old, have doll friends. Great video! Sometimes, it's pretty intense, though the forest seems friendly. I hope so! ❤️🙂

[@mopaditi1737]

Excellent. What a haunting, touching film. The soundtrack was brilliant.

[@shadowwyn]

Outstanding short! The actress is very expressive in her portrayal of the character!

[@glen7228]

Crazy weird just the way I like it. Thumbs up!

[@flipflopping]

At first thought, I want to say that this film is an absolute masterpiece. It is perfectly composed, and the entire experience really works. Here is true talent and foresight. The atmosphere is BRILLIANT. That being said, am I correct in saying that the 'glitches' in the doll and in our young character's hand is a reference to this being all virtual reality? Or, does it represent a distortion of what the character sees as reality? I want more, here. There is so much more to portray. Please make it happen. I subscribed immediately.

[@beingsentient]

There is nothing more. Don't fool yourself.

[@maxlow-foon1475]

Thanks so much for the kind words and feedback. I loved reading your interpretation. However I'm keen not to give anything away as I value your interpretations just as much as my own vision - I do not wish to spoil your takeaways. I might expand on this world further one day, so hang tight. Cheers.

[@jim-stacy]

Definately a simon stalenhag fan! Its got that eerie familiar strangeness to it

[@fazergazer]

I feel that The doll signifies the inner child❤ magnificent🎉

[@WilliamHalverd]

What keeps me focused on a film is how the crew manages so perfect the camera views, excellent work for everyone involved! i hope one day we can work together!

[@MelissaBish]

I see, the lock is like a combination

[@MelissaBish]

I have a question, is this girl experiencing an emotion of embarrassment

[@rangolizard2006]

really good work, thank you for sharing

[@MelissaBish]

The police scanner I used whenever I was under 10 years old in America was purchased at Radio Shack store I don't use them anymore because I received enough training from that and a portable AM FM radio

[@UltraManVidz]

Sick!!

[@KaiiWinter-nw4vi]

_Hey ._

[@timmotel5804]

P.S. Thanks for your ❤ reply. After reading the comments, WoW. I still think that it was Fine. Nicely Done, if understood... Peace

[@divyajnana]

Love is all you need.

[@j.c.3800]

Again with photography.....meaning?

[@autofox1744]

As tempting as it is as a budget-saving measure, the use of AI backgrounds threw me right out of this within the first 2 minutes. Sorry.

[@DansComputer]

That girl is way too old to be believably playing with dolls. Otherwise, this is cool.

[@shadowwyn]

It's clear she has experienced a traumatic event and playing with dolls can be a coping mechanism.

[@CalmoOmlac]

I'm 42 years old with quite a lot of action figures. Despite having a family and a 6 year old son. Not all people are the same. Also she's alone, so a doll makes sense as a friend.

[@RobertCampsall]

I can tell it's generative AI. It tells a story not quite rational and not really worth telling to

[@maxlow-foon1475]

Yes I thought it would be an interesting use of generative AI to create the robots and machines - It was also mentioned in the end credits. Appreciate the feedback.

[@41divad]

boring

[@callmenindo9615]

pretty cool
