"TWO POINT ZERO" | SCI-FI ANIMATED SHORT: Unreal Engine, Metahuman, and iClone

[@Teakeyman]

Came here because of TikTok. This was great work. I felt the emotion of the robot and his wanting to not be alone. Thanks! 😊

[@cinemonstervids]

Really?! TikTok? I had no idea. I really appreciate you coming by to watch the short. You make these things just because you have a story you want to tell. It usually feels like they exist in a void. I'm thrilled you found it and enjoyed it. Thank you for the comment too!

[@Albert_Wesker_1969]

I realize that it's supposed to be a dramatic post-apocalyptic sci-fi short film but couldn't get over the similarity of the cyborg's metallic face and that of the T-800 from The Terminator franchise. Having it have human feelings like loneliness and empathy made it seem more human but in the end it's still a machine only mimicking human emotions. Nice humorous touch when it put the plastic bucket on its head after drawing a smiley face on it in order to not frighten the young girl away from it. Nicely done Jason.

[@athanasiosklitsidis3674]

im gonna slightly dissagree ,because if you noticed he recognized himself when he was looking at mirror waving playful his hand ,since he can regognize himself there is a level of emotional intelligence

[@dancjr2]

This is absolutely superb, very real emotions are conveyed, loneliness, love, kindness, all without a single word being spoken.

[@cinemonstervids]

Thank you, Dan! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it! Honestly, I was tired of hearing my voice in all my films so it was a welcome respite. I'm relieved it worked out. :) Thanks for watching and I hope all is well!

[@vergil5047]

This is severely underrated. You should be having millions of views.

[@cinemonstervids]

I really appreciate that, thank you! I'm just happy animation allowed me to tell this story and I have KZbin to share it. I'm grateful for any views. :) Thanks again for the kind comment and for watching!

[@vergil5047]

@cinemonstervids no problem man, keep up the good work.

[@eman244tx]

Same here 😢 I have a soft spot for robots 🤖 very touching

[@cinemonstervids]

Much appreciated, thank you! I have a soft spot for robots myself so I'm grateful animation allowed me to tell this cute little story. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@AzeAlter]

this felt like a movie

[@cinemonstervids]

I consider that high praise, thank you! I do enjoy pushing Unreal to look as film-like as possible and the engine gets better and better with each version. Thanks for watching!

[@hopelavelle5154]

This was absolutely beautiful, both in story and creatively. Amazing job, brought me to tears.

[@cinemonstervids]

I consider that very high praise, thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed the short. Between you and me, even I get a little teary-eyed when I watch it. :) Thank you for watching and for your kind words. I genuinely appreciate it!

[@teresitacuadrado7939]

I love this movie. You conveyed so much emotion without a single word said. This movie was very moving. The music was heartfelt as well as the story. This is my favorite! Thank you for sharing your heart with us!

[@masonvalentinemusic]

The cinematography is just stunning! Amazing work man, the story is wonderful. Chills at the mirror scene.

[@cinemonstervids]

Thank you very much for your kind comment! This short was a lot of fun to make. It's the kind of story you know you'd never be able to afford traditionally (I mean, that first scene alone...) so I'm incredibly grateful to real time animation for allowing me to create these experiments. I'm also grateful to KZbin for giving me a opportunity to share them. I'm happy you enjoyed my little sci-fi tale. Thank you again for watching!

[@beowulfkaine]

I dont care if this only has 455 views, this is good work.

[@cinemonstervids]

I really appreciate that, thank you! Luckily for me, my channel is more about experimenting with Unreal and less about views (although views are always welcome :) Thank you for the kind comment and for watching!

[@MirrorValley]

Wow! Fantastic work! Nicely done. I can see all the hard work and effort that went into bringing this to life. Thanks for sharing!

[@cinemonstervids]

Much appreciated, thank you! I genuinely enjoy world building so I thought a dystopian landscape would be a interesting sandbox. I also like to do things in animation that would be challenging to accomplish traditionally. Thank you for your kind message and for watching!

[@MirrorValley]

@@cinemonstervids Absolutely my pleasure! I use a similar combo of daz/iclone and occasionally UE - no small feat making something that looks this good, I'm sure. Looking forward to the next one!

[@cinemonstervids]

@@MirrorValley You know it's all about experimentation. Some things work. Some things don't. As the engine and software get better, we'll be able to do more. This is why I don't obsess about the technical limitations of working with UE/iClone/Daz. I just try to tell interesting stories and the tech will catch up, I'm sure. You just keep pushing it...with varying degrees of success. :)

[@ielohim2423]

Your visual storytelling is flawless!

[@cinemonstervids]

Thank you for the compliment! I really appreciate it! This was a fun story to experiment with. It's quiet sci-fi. :) Thanks for watching!

[@namelessazure2896]

This was an awesome story. With beautifully done work. There were a few things that was out of sorts (shoulder rod clipping through shoulder plate or pistons not staying in place) but just a critique of mine.i really want to see a part two if there is one though. Keep up the great work.😁

[@cinemonstervids]

Thanks for your message! I This was a fun experiment. Thanks to real-time animation, I can tell stories I would never be able to tell traditionally. It's not perfect yet but things are always getting better. Thanks for watching!

[@TheSuspiciousSnail]

I really love the way this is animated. Well done

[@cinemonstervids]

I really appreciate that, thank you! I'm thrilled you enjoyed this little animated short. It was a fun a fun experiment but also a labor of love. Proving once again how much easier it is to tell certain stories with animation. Thanks for watching!

[@AlexKongMX]

GEEZ you never cease to impress me Jason! I loved it man, just such a heartfelt, well done story, you are amazing man, I'm moving forward with my own short and I'm at that point where it looks like an impossible task but this just helped me with the inspiration to PUSH THROUGH! I'll make it man, thanks a lot again, you are awesome dude! :D

[@cinemonstervids]

Thanks a million, Alex! You know how much I appreciate the support. We need to start getting some collaborations going. Then it's watch out, world! :)

[@chanceburger3169]

That was cool👍

[@cinemonstervids]

Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed it! I'm still amazed at the stories that can be told with the Unreal Engine. Real-time animation has allowed me to make shorts I could never make traditionally...like big post-apocalyptic ones. Thanks for watching!

[@tachikomaticdays1858]

really impressive, well done

[@cinemonstervids]

I appreciate that, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm always trying new things so it makes me happy when an experiment turns out okay. :) Thanks for watching!

[@AnthonyCupo0012]

Wonderful and execution! I really enjoyed the sentiment. However, the twisted side of me was wondering if you were going to setup us up.

[@cinemonstervids]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Funny, as a horror writer/director, I tend to see the twisted side of stories too...and Two Point Zero can definitely enter some pretty dark territory! But, hey, I have a softer side too and love a happy ending like everyone else. :) Thanks for watching!

[@tomcanas3822]

Nice little short film

[@cinemonstervids]

I appreciate that, thank you! I'm always looking for ways to experiment with different animation tools and how they can aid storytelling. I think this experiment came out okay. :) Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@natty258]

Stunning!

[@cinemonstervids]

Thank you! I'm happy you enjoyed it! This one short was definitely a labor of love. The kind of story I could never get made traditionally. So happy animation tools have come as far as they have. Thanks for watching and for your comment!

[@natty258]

@ I was utterly captivated, and it’s not often that happens. Keep pushing your talent.

[@sharonsavage6679]

I was glad that I watched it to the end. Ashamed that it could very well be our future 😐

[@cinemonstervids]

I know. It's tragic, isn't it? I was trying to look for that glimmer of hope in dark times. :) Thank you for watching!

Want part 2 of it

Props on using the model t-800 from the 1991 terminator

[@cinemonstervids]

Thank you! Even in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, an unfinished, unarmed T-800 has a right to make friends. :) Thanks for watching!

fascinating like sharon savage said it could very well be our future scary thought😑

It's getting harder to find the silver lining in an unsure future. But there's a joy that comes from making films that search for one. I appreciate you watching. :)

Wow your robot makes me think of Terminator or Metallo.

[@cinemonstervids]

It's a cool robot, right? It's like the Terminator...but looking for friends instead of John Connor. :) I got the model from Daz and animated him in Unreal. You can find a lot of great props and characters there if you ever need some for your animated projects - www.daz3d.com/shop

[@tonyantonellis9983]

@@cinemonstervids and yeah it is a cool robot. And in case you don't know Metallo. He is one of Superman's enemies, one who looks like terminator but Metallo used to be a human name John Corban. Plus Metallo has a kryptonite heart.
