The Forbidden Zone | Award Winning Stop-Motion Short film

[@EBThisThat]

Everything about this, the lighting, the debris falling, crumbling and kicking up dust, the lovely score and emotion are all stellar. Even the fact that there's no dialogue make this a true work of art. I was touched by the message and it was a good reminder to us all that unconditional love/kindness is always repaid in kind.

This is so beautiful. Such a metaphor for life; taking risk, rather than staying safe but alone, climbing mountains that once seemed impossible and receiving rewards greater than you could imagine. ❤

[@WoodGoblinFabrication]

I’m so happy the film resonated with you! Thank you for watching!

[@Surprise_Inspection]

Sure, everyones with their special someone. Go away for five years and come back, they are with totally different special someone's. Totally worth it.

Film well done worth watching l enjoyed it. You should make a anouther

[@johndowland4623]

By coincidence is always a woman saying this bs, it's almost like you trying to convince us it's worthed, that you got something to offer we can't avoid. Trust me, we can, more now than ever. And it'll get even better. We all die alone anyway, family or not, but knowing I didn't get mentally or financially abused by a woman in my life I will die with a smile on my face.

@@LongBeachCounty How about not reading the spoilers and comments BEFORE watching what you don't want spoiled? Or maybe it's you that's spoiled? Taking something nice and turning it in to "you ruined it for me and it's your fault" shows your spoilage. Definitely stay in California.

I don't have all the words I need to say what needs to be said about this incredible work. From the start, to the end, I was mesmerised. The story goes right to the heart, and that makes it wonderfully beautiful, especially at a time like now. Thank you so much @Wood Goblin Fabrication. I cannot imagine to effort that went into making this, but I do appreciate it very, very much.

[@WoodGoblinFabrication]

Thank you so much! I'm so glad the film made such an impression!

[@golden1789]

I was mesmerised as well.

[@Soothsayer937]

I saw the poison fog as a metaphor for the negativity we all choke down daily, or perhaps the isolation of depression. The orb is hope. He refused to let the fog take his little light away under any circumstances. He remains undaunted in the face of terrible odds to rejoin his light with the whole. I like that you didn't use the device of talking to himself. Powerful and lovely. Thank you. This should be one of those shorts you see before a feature film.

[@jazzman_10]

There could be many different interpretations, mine is that the movie was so awarded because people could relate to the modern narrative of ourselves destroying our own planet eventhough there is always one good intentioned guy, the last hero. That mixed with the fake Panspermia theory by which life on earth came from another planet plus the hollow earth theory filled with places like Shagri-La, extinct dinosaurs and pig sized mosquitoes... Here are my two cents...

[@proanimali]

Let's hope we all find this kind of Utopia and can survive! A beautiful film full of hope. Thank you!

[@Garch-the-Great]

This should be adapted as a children's storybook. It's short and simple, there are gorgeous images for illustrations, it's non-controversial and has a positive message. It could sell really well.

[@TheDweeb002]

Needs more woke: “Strong independent woman punches man-fog to death. Paves the way for oppressed cosmic pollen fairies.”

[@bwilliams463]

Very compelling little film; it posed more questions than it answered, allowing the viewer's mind to retain the sense of strangeness and wonder.

[@Hunter-ck3ty]

WOW .. this is an incredible piece of work. With everything being AI generated CGI nowadays watching this was a real joy, it's good to see someone making old school claymation like this and keeping old skills alive and flourishing. Thank you very much ❤

[@underoverrated2959]

I saw those shiny light things once during an LSD experience in the early 90s,they moved with incredible speed, It was beautiful and so was this.

[@psplyphboxer4386]

Hats off to anyone out there doing stop motion pieces. Definitely, a labor of love in this digital Era. Wonderful, inspiring, moral/ethical lesson in the storyline. It is a little depressing to realize in his new found salvation that he is the only human left. ....or is he? Perhaps a sequel???

[@golden1789]

Wouldn't a sequel be amazing.

[@bozboz4414]

It's the high quality gems like this that makes it worth searching through the 90% of KZbin that is not so good....especially since the absurd algorithm & guidelines have reached a level of censorship that is obscene & totally frustrating...

Nice, I love seeing craftsmanship like this. Knowing how much work it makes makes it even more amazing.

Things like this film, raise my hope a little, for humanity. Usually, especially lately, I haven't felt lie we have a chance.,..especially since 2022 when I lost so much....I haven't been able to drag myself back from the edge. This film....has given e hope that good doesn't always jean good for humanity., ad this gives me a smile I needed to feel. A small ember of hope it isnt all going to shit.

[@bt4486]

Thank you for this work. Story, artistry, music all beautifully depicting an amazing story. I hope there's a sequel

Taking risk is so scary especially when you dont know what's ahead but taking that risk will give you experiences way beyond your expectations and it will help you find yourself, your weaknesses as well as your strengths.

That was an incredible work of art. What I got out of it: With self sacrifice and determination we can help fix the bad state our planets environment is in.

[@skyusstarlet6514]

I once saw a group of “extra terrestrials” that had a very similar description as the little light beings featured in this short - practically identical! they floated in a similar fashion and just were like sweet little orbs of light travelling through the air, somewhere between 40 and 100ft. Almost on a convoy journey. I saw about a dozen of them floating from behind and above the building across the street, then straight over my apartment complex. They seemed like a family somehow. I know it sounds crazy but I wasn’t alone in witnessing it… they were definitely not drones. I used to reference the movie “Batteries Not Included” to describe their size and mannerism regarding my experience, but from now on I’m going to show people this movie! It’s so close it’s uncanny and I can’t help wonder if this is based on someone else’s similar experience. I absolutely love the message of the story too. How beautiful. ❤️

[@sandychilds3253]

I believe your story totally because I've been seeing dancing and multiplying/dividing orbs in my yard for several years. They appear on my security camera, which is always in the same position, but the activity of the orbs is never the same!

Excellent story & Animation! I've always enjoyed stop motion. Especially in this day & age, where digital rules the landscape. This short is clever, it has no dialog & still conveys relatable emotions & actions of the main character. Generally, I dont read any descriptions before watching a short film. This one would have probably made more sense if I had. In any case, very good work!

What can I say that probably hasn't been stated already...Refreshing take on Life and Death and Hope. Beautifully scored and Epically animated.. Sometimes more is said in silence than with words... Actions show us the motives behind his need to see something Live... I can only imagine the Different stories or views that are represented with this Film. POV and Life experiences will play an important role in how one feels or interprets this... Just Masterful story telling with substance and relevance... We need this today so badly... Thank you for this vision and this beautiful artwork presented to us. Everyone involved in this production has blessed us with something we did not have before watching it...and to each of us... that is different and splendid... Much Love and Respect to all involved.. My greatest of gratitude... A Magical story telling that touches the Soul...and shows us possibilities of driving past the Darkness inside ourselves.

There's something about stop motion that I find enthralling. Ray HArryhausen, Nick PArk...this.

[@Tinyvalkyrie410]

I think a big part of it is how you can see the hand of the artist. We know how it’s made and how labor intensive it is, so the appreciation is built in from the first frame. If you made a completely identical film with cgi that was indistinguishable from this, it wouldn’t have the same impact. Everyone has personal experience with playing with dolls. Along with the nostalgia of childhood make believe, it’s easy to understand how this is done, so we know how much effort it takes.
