Thrilling 3D Action Short: "Countdown" - by Andrew Klimov | TheCGBros

TheCGBros Presents "Countdown" - by Andrew Klimov - Deep space. An interstellar spaceship crashes. A crew of a small drop-ship have managed to miraculously survive in this disaster. Their ship is damaged and they have to land on an unexplored planet nearby. They steer the ship into an atmosphere without suspecting that a layer of impenetrable thunderclouds enveloping the planet hides something that will be even worse than their worst assumptions - an ocean of acid!

Nonstop fright from the first second until the last. CGI was outstanding. Total gem. Great work!

[@juliemunoz2762]

One question that seems pretty important. How did it go from being in a ship that was torn apart and exposed to the atmosphere to being in a waterproof ship at the bottom of the ocean what magic happened to give him an intact vessel

[@boysittisak1553]

This dropship seem to have 2 deck, passenger on the top deck that was torn apart and cargo hold on lower deck that our last guy fall into when impact into water and possible that cargo hold of the ship using different material that can withstand an acid, impact and waterproof? but still I don't know how he have time to seal the cargo hatch from water with that high impact lol

[@alanszary4678]

there are many more questions

[@Nibiew]

You can see @6:29 he was being washed into a man hole that connects to the cargo hold

[@LittleMacscorner]

@@boysittisak1553 Not to mention if the Wind Sheer was bad enough to rip the drop ship apart to shreds, it would have torn the guy apart and no way he was holding on to anything. Still, cool CGI.

[@brianwhitford6086]

Being a spaceship, it would be obvious that the cargo ship was meant to be air tight. And despite the damage, the cargo hold seemed mostly intact. And as for how he survived, When the ship hit the ocean's surface and he fell into the hatch, it's possible that the force of the wave forced the cargo hatch shut. As for how the ship didn't disintegrate in an ocean of acid, it should be known that, when it comes to space, every precaution must be taken. So, it must've been foresight that led to building a ship that would not corrode in acid. I can't really explain why the spaceship fell apart when they entered the storm. But I can harbinger a guess that it was the result of extreme heating from entry to extreme cooling from the storm that weakened the structure. Or perhaps the storm was simply to strong for the ship to handle. This could also imply that these ships were still in their infancy, probably the first to be launched. Hence forth, there were drawbacks. Then again, we've never seen a space shuttle attempt re-entry through a storm. I reiterate that this is all just a theory based on what I know about spaceships.

[@ksfirewolf1530]

For those confused on how he’s in a dry space, it appears that the ship had two sections: an upper crew/passenger area and a lower vehicle hold. Why the lower section held up FAR better than the top is a little confusing to me, but you can see a split frame right after the craft hits water that he is thrown back onto a pretty solid hatch which then closes. Mind blowingly excellent short and amazingly captivating. Makes me want to see more just from the gear used from the vehicles in the vehicle bay to the Altyn style helmets used.

[@switch4895]

Maybe since top deck had a front windscreen that was blown out, air pressure could have made torrents in the top deck and helped tear it apart. Lower deck would obviously be more armored and shielded from heat as well as not have any forward-facing windows to be blown out. Hatch wise, well, who knows. Maybe it got flipped upside down or something.

[@StyxRiverGynoid]

I'm with @switch, above. Given the brief shot we get close to the start that showed the underside to be almost like a Thunderbird-2 sort of module, chances are it was designed to be independent in all respects to the dropship/lifter. But yeah, this is one of the rarer kinds of videos on CG Bros that absolutely is screaming out for more.

[@ksfirewolf1530]

Yes I don’t know enough about that kind of engineering but that makes sense. Thanks for the enlightenment

[@StyxRiverGynoid]

@@ksfirewolf1530 I think the fact we're all oohing and ahhing over the video and trying to figure out the mechanics involved in the event depicted, which means going back over and over, just goes to show how damned impressive the short was, that people care enough to wonder :) I for one would like to know what that wheel before the deluge came was attached to. I'd _really_ like to know why this looked like they used _military_ dropships to evacuate a _colonist_ transport, full of people in pretty blatant military gear. "Colonists" or "Conquerors"? ... maybe their need to evacuate was the inhabitants of the world objecting to squatters :)

[@MrDecessus]

You can also see them closing the floor section like they are trying to protect the bottom of the spaceship.

The re-entry was amazing. My only note was that the dangling wires and headset, kindof broke the great sensation of g-forces in the scene.

Sends chills down my spine, especially the cockpit scenes. If you listen closely I’m pretty sure you can vaguely hear “Mayday Mayday” as the pilots looking out the window at the other “ships” going into the atmosphere.

[@Bangcat]

Genuinely a hit of action that where it does drag, it leads to the over all suspense that still keeps you glued. An experience that's frightening to think about as it unfolds, especially as so much is suddenly ripped and torn away, and the genuine wonder of how one could possibly survive while more loss somehow continues to remain a looming threat. Fantastically done as it reigns you into willing disbelief as the amazing horror unfolds. This was a memorable one.

[@diogeneskoolaid8437]

being able to capture someone's interest without a single word is outstanding. my only confusion was: his ship was torn completely open front and rear but when it settles on the ocean floor he's in a dry space? wasn't sure how that worked.

[@AtlasFox]

There was a cargo hold, although it's not clear that he managed to get into it and seal a hatch, which is what must have happened.

[@AshU-ug2fy]

He fell into a cargo hold when the water flooded, from what I could see the front of the ship folded in on self (or another piece of the ship) and sealed him in. The scene is dark and goes by quickly, so it is hard to make out the details.

[@Syncronocity]

The retired military man in me wonders who the heck signed off on the risk assessment for this venture because it seems like they missed a few things...

[@chrislaf89]

Agreed. You'd think they'd drop a few probes off to check it out first, and realize that the place is just as bad as Venus.

[@urdnotwrex6969]

idk much but just seeing stuff I can assess these things. They werent on the mission, they were probably escaping the main cruiser ship because something bad happened there, maybe lots of aliens swarmed the ship or idk. The cruiser drops aswell so I guess that something bad happened before they escaped the ship.

[@chaptermastermoloc7331]

Amazing the style reminds me a lot of the episode Lucky 13 from love death and robots. The silent story telling is also really nice building suspense through Light shadow as well as expressions really comes off strong and captivating. I enjoy stories like this and gives me a feeling similar to those I get from watching "Paths of Hate" by Damian Nenow or the Dead Hand series by Dima Fedotov both have a similar way of little to no words drawing suspense and creating a feeling to make you want to see what is next.

@@brianwhitford6086 yeah, when approaching atmosphere at hypersonic speeds, every variable matters. The density of the atmosphere increases as storm comes in & cold air is denser than warm air.

This was ridiculous. No explanation for why the pilots in full atmosphere would just suddenly go unconscious or die. No explanation for all the PAPER blowing in the wind!? wtf is there a printing press in the cabin up front? I thought this was the future. The dramatic tension is worthless if it goes on too long or isn't consistent within itself. Soldier dude cannot summon the strength to grab a mask during a bit of turbulence, but is able to hang onto not one but TWO pieces of metal with his fingertips as the shredded plane is hurtling towards it's doom? Then! Suddenly, miraculously, he gets swept into a water-tight section of the absolutely destroyed ship with NO LEAKS OF ANY KIND. Amazing. We are SOOOOOO dramatic here - so dramatically unbelievable. Then, randomly, ABYSS!! Yes, this trailer turned in the 1990s classic Abyss for practically no conceivable reason. Such a waste. So much talent in design and artistry here, and so little in story-writing or direction.

... wow ... the particulate abrasion, the atmosphere, the fluid dynamics ... OH the fluid dynamics! The remains of the mothership landing on top of them, and the possible escape in Chekhov's minisub (from the water crash) was a nice twist and teaser. This is either AAA game cutscene or not-minor-league production level quality. Plot-wise, I think a little too much had to be in the video description, that could have been folded into the opening. Some sort of alarm on board, lights, or even seeing them detach from the mothership, to show it was an emergency drop. As I mentioned, the particulate abrasion was wonderfully done, with the lone trooper in the bay a skeleton just putting the period at the end. The last minor is the water being acid. The corpse floating outside the portglass could have had that effect from the abrasive erosion. When I say minor, I do mean minor. The whole segment, start to finish, did little to break me out of the scenario and action. The score was on point and the facial expressions on the trooper, the whole "What the fuck am I doing here anyways, and what the hell is going on??" expression with the open eyes and mouth were so well rendered it would be hard to see it was CG if it wasn't for the channel :) Although to be honest, I think you could have named it better ... "Mondays, amirite?" springs to mind :P What software did you use, and where did you get the textures - homegrown or procedural? This absolutely should be right at the start of your showreel, kudos to everyone involved in the production. Oh, I almost forgot, one last question - WHERE IS THE CONTINUED?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
