Am with you: great story , lousy acting .

[@somewhatnewtoyou]

Still better than what Hollywood has produced recently........................ May I remind you about Mortal Engines?

[@DonPatrono]

9:08 well, since nobody said it... THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED

[@johnivkovich8655]

Yah I got that, "Where are they coming from?", my answer "Poland obviously.".

[@SouthernOceanBlue]

"They have dragons?! That's not fair!" Steampunk dragons with Hussar riders has my vote any time.

[@Linuxdirk]

Hover-the-top action, some humor, spectacular setting and art. This would made an awesome 6-8 episodes mini series.

[@imichael2411]

Steampunk, Sci-fi,and Fantasy! Got to Love it! Dragons, Oh My!

[@RichardFeynmanRules]

Wonderful, gorgeous steampunk machines and images...and really bad acting...love it!

[@jonlittell]

RichardFeynmanRules I can't bear to watch this because of the poor voice acting. Where is the original?

[@SlowSTEN]

ikr lol it was so weird.

[@scottfw7169]

Being too slick and polished makes things lose character. Is also kind of like live action RPG.

[@thENDweDIE]

[@commercialand]

I think its in a different language and the actors doing the over dubs are what is bad.

[@sallyking1706]

dragons with machine guns, wow that was original. really great movie.

[@bebebutterbub1344]

I love the over dubbing . It makes me feel like I am in a different world where the language is different, and there is an illusion they are speaking a language no one in our world understands.Also It makes it very stylish and merits its own artistic licensing- making it very unique AND FuNNy! It also feels more vintage when it takes me back to old foreign films that are overdubbed! It makes me smile very much, thank you very much for making my day very happy😂

[@iilaverick]

"They have dragons! That's not fair!" I know, I want some too.

[@lexifeldmann5353]

I love, love, love Sci-fi and Steam punk. Favorite theme for anything, costume, movie, music, everything

[@RadiateYourLove]

"to be continued..." - WHEN? ...can't WAIT!

[@robbietrumpet]

I Find myself watching this one over and over...I think the actors made it come off as more real and believable, like.... I can picture myself in the scenario. I don't think Harrison Ford, Shawn Connery and Natalie Portman in it would have made it any better. I really don't know much about Steam Punk but I really liked this one...

[@Otto-ub4ll]

I look forward to the day that small private groups can make quality full length movies and put the Hollywood clowns out of business.

[@4thArmoredVet]

That day is already here.

[@aristideregnier4883]

It is not this day.

[@devitradio]

This, as it exists today, is still better than Hollywood.

[@beyondlimitationsvideo]

@Timothy McCaskey Actually, many actors are affordable. There's also many examples of big movies where basically non-actors were used and through good casting, coaching and directing, the performances were really good.

[@matthewbradley3395]

Only such small private groups that do not like money and success will be able to resist and bring down Hollyweird in such a fashion. They will face an onslaught of money in an effort to crush competition by Hollywood.

[@liamhay4126]

Dubbing + Dialog + So-So Acting = DID YOU FREAKING SEE THAT? GIANT AIRSHIPS! ... was I saying something?

[@kmarchery]

Winged Polish hussars on dragons . With gatling guns . OK that's fun .

[@koaxander4505]

@Silas Zayne No problem =)

[@CliventheTraveller]

Deserves less forced acting and direction, and a bigger budget, but is solidly awesome.

[@djc8190]

CliventheTraveller pretty much sums it up.

[@stephenmoss877]

I thought the appalling acting was deliberate !

[@alexdill9667]

Agree, also subtitles instead of voiceovers in English would help, imo. Very cool little movie! Reminds me of 1980 Flash Gordon.

[@hammond1994]

Flying Dragons with machine guns. You have won AWESOME!

[@hal900x]

Your English voice actors are perfect, but I much prefer subtitles over dubbing.

[@doniaschloot6283]

I need subtitles. I can't use dubs because I'm deaf.

[@Olhor10]

Steampunk Dragon Hussars? Can't get more EPIC than that!!!

[@Olhor10]

radness Hussars are epic cause they are humans with wings ,they are always amazing.

[@WILTALK]

Steampunk Polish Dragon Hussars. The Poles were the ones that had those wings attached to their horse.

[@ctraltdel3558]

Steampunk dragon hussars *with machine guns*

[@pwnmeisterage]

Not just machine guns but turned-brass gatling guns, lol.

[@CELTICFOXSTUDIO77777]

alright !!!! airships , beautiful women and steampunk dragons ...., whats not to love , sign me up.

[@lordleonusa]

They've got Dragons! That's not fair!

[@kellyganson7011]

dragons are ALWAYS welcome and fair!

[@nickhilligoss9210]

An excellent job of blending the live actors with the cgi, some terrific designs, a lot to applaud here! Acting is variable - even leaving out the voices (in German or English dub), some can't help grinning to be in such a cool thing, despite everything supposed to be crashing around them. Good luck to all who sail in this, I hope you do get to develop it further.

[@andrewmacfarland5253]

Live actors? You thought they were live actors? Live actors riding real dragons? Bwah-ah-hahahaha!!!!

[@LeoTiggelman]

Watching this concept trailer for two years. About time the full feature aired. This is awesome.

[@MikeLittle2015]

Hope you plan to continue the series! Great fun, and thank you for the "making of" segment afterwards.

[@KeeperofTheMountain]

I love the three wheeled cars! It makes me want to build one and drive it.

[@marekwedler638]

What an amazing achievement. Thanks for giving a fantastic example to those of us who are trying to do the same thing. Awesome effects. Great editing. Design and costumes. As for the acting, of course the dubbing will affect how you perceive it! I was hooked and want to see more!

[@brent73rn]

Great visuals. Giving the actors extra credit as it was all green screen work. Thanks for adding the behind the scenes look too

[@CircusDogs]

The scenery, sets, machines, weapons and costumes were all such beautiful eye-candy. I would love to see this as a feature film.

Fifth vote here! This is remarkably good! This is about the best -looking steampunk technology I've seen in a film.

[@MarleysghostSteampunkmovies]

if you like this ,then try this steampunk web series !kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYWUfpaha5qUg68

[@smasica]

There is much about the film that I liked and I hesitate to criticize. That said, the weak link was acting. Writing and story was good, sets and costumes were excellent, and animations top-notch.

[@ursa41]

Awesome material!!! Why can't the Sci Fi (refuse to label that sissy "SyFy" bullshit) Channel come out with such innovative ideas such as these--I've had it up to my ass with zombie and vampire flicks already! SteamPunk should be the order of the day! And how about some Sherlock Holmes, Jules Verne or even HP Lovecraft to supplement the lineup?? ( PS Last show on Sci Fi akin to this was "The Adventures of Jules Verne" (or something like that) which I remember aired around 2000 or 2001.)

[@theAlphatron]

+ursa41 I agree!

[@ursa41]

Glad we're on the same page, FD. :-)

[@Amoth_oth_ras_shash]

+ursa41 No curent coperate funded sci-fi will ever do that becuse it means to deviante from the ''keep things static unless prompted to change''... love sci-fi were shit Arent static

[@ckvonpickles3751]

That is because todays sci fi is aimed at those that turn over after the kardashians! dont fool yourself that sci fi is made for the fans! its made for money and bums on seats, aimed at the knuckle dragging LCD. BTW this is actually awesome!!! top work, fan love keeping it real!

[@ivorybow]

Outstanding, bringing to life images not seen before. Congratulations on a sterling achievement.

[@Mechknight73]

You've created an awesome universe for this story, and I really hope you can get the full version out there. Hollywood could definitely learn a thing or three from you guys

[@johannageisel5390]

I love this!!! I would totally buy / watch this film in cinema! The acting is a bit stiff and the special effects obvious, but for an amateur production it's great. I love the designs and ideas behind it. It's absolutely worth becoming a larger production! Good luck, all the best and may your hydrogen tanks always be full!

[@Schregger]

They mounted miniguns on dragons? Thats a terrible idea, I freaking love it.

Please continue with this! Nicely done, so far, and to those who think "Not enough rust," while I agree the engine room needs more grime, remember, steampunk has many different incarnations.

[@ElCoyote1230]

OMG, Crimson Skies with winged Hussars and Fellbeasts, i want a Videogame with it. Great work!!!!

[@mikecarlson2248]

The best cheesy short film I have seen thus far! I really like the cinematography and imagination put into this and look forward to the sequel!

damn....something original for a change.....Excellent work guys! (And girls!) Time for me to research more! =D

[@studioreece8329]

Winged hussars. Riding dragons. You guys win the internet.

Are you kidding me, I was on the edge of my seat. Now am going to look for the next episode. Thank you for that.

[@theinvaderswebseries]

Great design work. I love the texture world they created.

[@SteampunkRadio]

Wow. This has such a gorgeous aesthetic to it.

[@TheSakeSamurai]

Wow! Really impressive film. I wish there was 50 of these. I'd binge watch em all day. Good stuff. They need to make this a full movie.

[@intellix]

this is cool, makes me want to watch SkyCaptain again.

[@MrAnubis51]

I loved this thank you can't wait for part two.

[@brotherofAnubus]

“Okay, so our entire budget was spent on the animation.”

[@kat_livescolor]

This NEEDS to be an actual film!

[@a4ewer]

Very well dun, unimaginable beautiful crafted movie, should this be new long movie and nice story with it, it will be a champion.

[@matthudson8599]

I think the English dub really adds to the character of the film. It makes it obviously foreign. And which foreign work is actually well dubbed? I love the "bad" voice work!

[@chelebelle2223]

@Matt Hudson_Me too! 😀 I'm currently in love with all things Steampunk!

[@JB.Creative]

Some of the nicest looking steam punk models and cgi I have seen,

[@dtacke]

This little film is one of the best I have ever seen. If you can make it into a full length feature film, you will have accomplished something grand!

[@jimhankey2470]

Astounding visuals!! Highly entertaining and impressive!!!

[@wildfire160]

Throw some decent money at these guys ...as soon as

[@johnsabotta1288]

Well, it's nice to see someone finally built Taitlin's tower.

[@TomTRay]

Steampunk is so underappreciated! Bravo!

[@saiberunato]

Fantastic. I always loved the speculative/alternative history sci-fi/fantasy genres like cyberpunk, steampunk, and dieselpunk. I hope they eventually give Airlords of Airia the big budget Hollywood treatment. Just like dieselpunk masterpiece, Sky Captain started out as a short film project that was later remade as a big budget film (which sadly flopped), this little steampunk masterpiece deserves the same big budget treatment.

[@LandersWorkshop]

I thought Sky Captain did ok? It was all over the screens for months before and afterwards!

[@argos1306]

Merci de nous faire partager ce film. :-)

[@howardmiller5381]

Beautifully done. I'd watch a feature length fillm like this.

[@phillipsuttles1926]

This was excellent. I can't wait to see Part 2. Very well done. Steampunk done right.

[@asanfeizi1335]

That was an awesome feeling the only thing I can say is that sometimes the CGI is not going to act in or acting is not going with the CGI, like kind of fake, but overall it was absolutely fantastic. I'll be looking forward to see part 2. thank you

[@shakespearefields7847]

This... is.... GREAT!!! Just a lot of fun to watch. Loved the visuals, the action, the actors... and "The Camp" (if anybody still knows what that is). I'll be sharing it. Thanks for the up!!

[@tominnis8353]

I really loved this. Thank you for all your hard work. The incorporation of CGI into the Mise en scene is very skilfully done. I also appreciated the slightly sardonic sense of humour. Best of all though is the retro style: the uniforms, aircraft and other paraphanalia. Reminded me a little of 'Brazil' and 'City of the lost Children'. Very imaginative and fast paced enough to keep me on the edge of my chair. Can't wait for the sequel.

[@khadijagwen]

I am quite distressed that you have not continued this lovely piece.

[@CinemanoPlaymobilFilms]

I've missed some more real objects! But it's a really nice CGI and concept art work :o

[@zaphodthenth]

I love this! Steampunk airship/airplane/dragons with gatling guns battles are amazing! I know it was CGI but the detailing is fantastic! And WHERE IS PART 2?

[@direbearcoat7551]

Makes me think of a live action anime. Reminds me a little bit of the "Last Exile." I really liked the designs, and the costumes. The special effects and CGI were pretty cool, too. Story wise, and acting and action.... Makes me think of anime! I like it!

[@RPastuch]

Please make a full length movie, even if only on DVD, and I WILL BUT IT!

[@RodrigoMirra]

This is great! Just loved the aesthetics, and the acting is what you can expect from non-hollywood actors

[@matthudson8599]

Sorry, folks, I just watched this for the eleventeenth time. For the genre, this voice acting (und Tonmischung) is TOP NOTCH! Just the right amount of "epic corniness" with a video game feel. The tone fits like a glove! I LOVE the English voice work! Also, gibt mir Tiernamen... JETZT!

[@bolivardigriz8847]

The visuals are absolutely magnificent! Congratulations, and I'm not even that much into steampunk or space opera.

[@janhelebrant6862]

Looks great. I really enjoyed this and I do not remember any other good steampunk movie except "Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow" which I really like. Would be nice to have another movie :-)

[@Appleholic1]

I would love to see HBO produce a "Game of Thrones" type series based around a "Steampunk" universe. True steampunk should be void of the uses of electricity

[@maxpayne2574]

steam powered generators were used so it is appropriate

[@Appleholic1]

@@maxpayne2574 Nah. No electricity

[@AndorRadnai]

@@Appleholic1 Well… Appropriate amounts of..!

[@ertugrulozdemir300]

I think static electricity can be used in a steampunk universe, but electric current definitely should not.

[@horst6423]

First the bad: The acting needs a little bit of work. No biggie. A little more practice makes perfect. Then the good: Everything else. This is outstanding. Very well done. Very enjoyable to watch. Had to pause it a bunch of times the second time I watched it just to get a full appreciation of the detail and cinematography. You guys did a great job. You should send this in to Netflix. They're always looking for a good idea for a new, original series and I think you guys have a winner here. I'm looking forward to your next one.
