[@LongEZpilot]

This is an awesome piece of work. It might have been inspired by the short SF story called "The Flying Dutchman" written by Ward Moore in 1951. The plot is very similar. Here are the final lines from that story: "It flew toward the city which had long since become finely pulverized rubble. It flew toward the outlying rings of antiaircraft batteries and the few serviceable guns left which would spot it on their radarscreens and automatically aim and fire, attempting to bring it to the fate of all its counterparts. The Flying Dutchman flew toward the country of the enemy, a defeated country whose armies had been annihilated and whose people had perished. It flew so high that far below its outstretched wings and steady motors the bulge of the earth made a great curving line, the earth, that dead planet, upon which no living thing had been for a long, long time."

[@joshhayl7459]

@ urdnal, 🔵 Why are you acting like an ass-hat?.. (Please take note that I didn't say you WERE an ass-hat, I said you were ACTING like one). There was absolutely NO reason for you to immediately digress into name-calling, the person merely expressed their ignorance of something!....all that was necessary, IF you wished to edify them, would have been for you to Simply inform them that: "It's called 'Nose Art' and was popular in wars fought with air support up to and including Vietnam". FYI: NO-ONE is BORN knowing this stuff!! At one time, YOU were ignorant of this information as well. It takes a certain kind of a person (one with a particular predilection of responding in a derogatory manner when such a lack of Civility is uncalled-for) to just go off at the drop of a hat on someone that is asking a reasonable question or making a statement out of ignorance. [ the definition of 'Ignorant' is: "Lacking knowledge, information, or awareness about a particular thing",as-in: "They were ignorant of astronomy". Synonyms: unknowledgeable, unaware]. Being ignorant is not the same as being an "Ignoramus", one is derogatory, the other is not. Evidently, YOU are 'Ignorant' of the difference. Think of how YOU would feel if EVERY time you expressed YOUR lack of knowledge about something, someone jumped-up and immediately called YOU an "Ignoramus!"... if 'Normal' people did that, it would pretty much be a deterrent for ANYONE to ask questions now wouldn't it? People express ignorance and seek to know by asking questions, This is one of the ways people learn, there is no shame in asking questions and there is no need to be nasty without provocation. I'm not a mental health care professional, but I'm going to hazard a guess that the people who raised you had no tolerance or patience for the normal questions a child would ordinarily ask, and that they castigated you whenever you would inquire about anything, and so you're just passing this particular mental-convolution along to everyone else because that's how YOU were treated...... A shame really, I'm sure it makes things difficult for those that try to be your friend, as VERY few people are going to put up with that kind of shit for very long... quite Sad really. So,.."Good luck" in life with that kind of an attitude hobbling you, if you ever intend on KEEPING any friends very long at ALL you're REALLY going to need it.

[@alexanderpoirier3350]

One lone bomber, still flying bravely onwards to fight a war ended long ago where all have lost and none have won. The pilot long dead, his bones still firmly trapped within, his mission will never end. The engines of war drone endlessly on, gnashing onwards to finish their goal, to bomb cities destroyed long ago. The only remaining vestige of humanity that remains is the pinup girl who straddles a bomb, who has flown on countless missions and will fly on countless more. She is a symbol of man's lusting for war...and the final and only survivor of our own damnation, and who will witness more bombings, here forevermore.

[@robin6469]

Yeah this is amazing it would be great to see more like this.

[@phdnk]

It would be an impossible movie: everyone is dead, nothing interesting happens from the human point of view. If any director tries to show some prior events, involving living people, the film would inevitably follow the model of the "Final destination" series. Because of the boundary condition placed upon future. That being said, I seriously doubt anyone could enjoy a movie developed from this animation.

[@Vzon]

I would have to disagree. While the two clips show only two missions, I find the concept of AI's carrying out their last orders, even though the ones who issued those orders are long since dead, to be somewhat compelling. When I was in the USN, we had a very capable class of warship that had an auto mode built in. The last surviving combat crewman could activate the system and the ship would carry out it's mission autonomously until it's weapons and fuel were depleted. Thankfully, it never had to be used. As robotics becomes more advanced and our civilization is on the precipice of self destruction, I can imagine such a scenario as depicted in these two shorts.

[@polskapro3938]

I dont think there will even be humans in the flesh in 300 years or so. If we can last that long we will last for billions of years.

SneakyJoe's Яussian salad I really love the idea of having these things acting autmatically, but without any typical "hive mind" or central AI controlling them. just every unit on its own, working on and on. maybe a sequel could show the base, maybe some animals living there, eating what is served by never-dying machines for soldiers that are long gone.

[@SneakyJoeRu]

Fun facts: the enemy interceptor jet had its nose cone ripped off, which explains its instablilty the non-sentient AI who keeps bombing the ruins over and over may be a metaphor of how humanity's hatred keeps going on and on the fact that the AI plane ejected the pilot and then crashed is an metaphor of the "perfect soldier" concept: senseless, heartless, fearless about death and willing to sacrifice itself to protect its superiors (in this case, the dead pilot) And the ominous-yet-high-tech looking bomber might be symbolizing how much effort and technology we create to kill ourselves

This is quite literally the beginning of Planetary Antihalation. Automatic war machines who know nothing but to fight and wage war. When there's nothing left to fight, they then began fighting each other.

[@Dan36danny]

Just imagine a nuclear powered plane like this flying for years through the clouds...

[@greygoose3936]

So is this about automated military vehicles that are continuing their mission long after all humans have been killed including their pilots?

[@daytenanderson3898]

exactly.

[@seanmarcy1183]

Absolutely correct.

I swear the sound effects for that fighter's engine that tried to intercept the bomber was taken from an Avro Vulcan Once you've heard the roar of four Rolls Royce Olympus engines you can't unhear them.

So I gotta ask, I get that automated systems continue the war, but how did the pilots die? Even in their suits

Maybe a bullet penetrating the hull? The aircraft not letting the pilot out?

That was super cool to watch. I've always liked the WW2/post apocalyptic technology.

[@Pricless911]

This is a really good story. A humanless world fighting a humanless war with no survivors to tell the mechanized army that both sides lost. And that the fighting can stop. A simple animation that tells a long lasting story. Bravo.

[@twitchyflash333]

1:53 I think that the eerie silence/quiet humming gives the nukes a better effect. Much more creepy than a simple boom.

[@TheMlgFox]

twitchyflash333 high grade Nukes don't make a boom noise anyway, so in a way this animation is realistic

Now just picture that this bomber will go to an automated secluded airstrip, where other machines are waiting to refuel, repair and rearm the bomber, but due to material sortages they just give it what they can. After it the bomber is going to take off again and head to another destination defined by a broken script controlled by a AI support system that is all that is left after the original command structure that got attacked after a EMP strike, having the original server lost command, it was temporarily relocated to another underground server, which was never found and as human kind reached its end as a civilization, the AI was just left on a broken loop, bombing intended targets in an effort to undermine a now non existant enemy.

[@brianmckerrow817]

I love the whole story rotating around automation verus life at the end with the grass. So many ways to interpret. First viewing of your work Subscribed.

[@aidanker-foz6511]

My theory is that during the "Last War" they used bio weapons that killed off all the humans, that's why you still see the skeletons still in their combat stations, perhaps something was released into the air while the ai keep on fighting.

Honestly incredible work. All i have to say as someone who doesnt do cgi stuff is that you should probally make the explosion mushroom clouds rise much slower to make it a bit more realistic.

I wanna know the lore behind this film. I also wonder if they had automated ground infantry as well, similar to how the planes are automated. maybe suits of power-armor with the skeletons of their former operator contained within, endlessly fighting.

There is something chilling about this short: A war continuing forever because of mindless AIs still carrying out their functions and even replacing the long-dead human soldiers because they literally have no other purpose than to continue the war until victory... But there is *no-one* left to win or to lose.
