    Hi Yall! I just wanted to say thanks so much for getting Beacon to over a million views. It's honestly a huge milestone for me. I started this channel nearly a decade ago and I always wanted to make films but it took nearly a decade to get there. So thank you so much!
    If you'd like to support future films I have a patreon here! www.patreon.com/animatrocities
    Hoping to get you guys films every 1-2 months. Some longer or shorter than others. There's a mythos to Beacon I'd like to continue with and as much as I've slipped hints and elaborated on things I'll just have to let the story develop its self. Almost 10 years of stories in the making I started in High School will start to take shape. In the meantime I can't wait to show you the anthology F3ROCIOU5. Thank you for watching it's first kick off entry and again thanks for taking interest in Beacon!
    We have such sights to show you...

    What I really like about this is how quiet the protagonist is. A lot of shows have the MC constantly talking while they're alone cos they don't trust the audience to pay attention all the time. For this it works super well; it makes when the character does speak extremely valuable and also benefits the dread. It emphasises how alone the protagonist is, how vacant the planet is, and how vulnerable any survivors are when they're always being watched by the rabid wildlife.

      @WeirdFaden 2 ปีที่แล้ว +25

      I have a tendency to talk to myself when I'm alone as a processing mechanism, I wish that element was played with more because as it stands it is mostly an attempt to keep audience attention rather than really adding anything to the character themselves, which overall really hurts the mood and experience. My attention becomes sharper when I actively verbalize the voices in my head and I become aware of details in the environment that I overlooked before hand, which could also be a great way to build tension in a piece like this, but it's rarely ever used as such in media XC

    Absolutely beautiful in its bleakness. I love sci-fi/horror concepts where the antagonist is just nature in all its brutal indifference. The terrain and ruins all serve to make the viewer feel very small. Phenomenal work! If you ever consider a Kickstarter or something to take this project further, I’ll be the first to sign up.

      I completely agree with you, after watching, you involuntarily get into the feelings that the main character is experiencing, and you sit for a long time under the impression of this masterpiece. It's amazing how a short animated film could be made better than many full-length projects! It seems like a lot of people and a budget are not the main thing at all, the main thing is talent and enthusiasm, and knowledge of how to evoke the right feelings and thoughts in the viewer.

      I really liked the quality, but man this guy was dumb. DON'T give yourself an open wound you can't stitch by pulling out shrapnel. DON'T leave the pod when the rescue ship is on the way, just log the location and go there with the rescue ship - which is equipped to actually affect a rescue, unlike the guy. And most of all, DON'T go on a 4 hour trip to *anywhere* when the rescue ship is 6 hours away!

That’s not something you can simply ignore and your brain will constantly nag you about until you inevitably do something stupid

    Never been in a situation like this but I’d like to think I’d have the sense to stay put like I was told. You can always do your part by sharing the location of the other pod AFTER you get picked up. Also, don’t get distracted by scenery if you MUST go out. Get/do what you need, head STRAIGHT back. If you want to explore, mark the planet’s location and come back properly equipped LATER!
    All that being said, the fact that I’m invested enough in this film to be nearly yelling that at the screen means it’s really well done!!

    Couple of things that takes you out of the story. The pod tells him not to leave under any circumstances. He's out in the cold with very little protection. He doesn't bleed to death after receiving catastrophic injuries. The rescue vessel doesn't scan to see that he's nearby.

    This was so awesome, I loved everything about it. Has a great cosmic horror vibe, I really like how even the rescue ship got destroyed. Makes me wonder how many other ships might’ve crashed on that planet. Awesome soundtrack too. Just awesome everything. Congrats to you guys, you did fantastic.

  • @thepalaeo3830

    This might be my sci-fi bias speaking, probably is, but this has to be the best short film I've seen in ages. The visual effects were wonderfully executed, the creature design was solid, and the sound design was equally so. The minimization of dialogue made it a lot more interesting, because it was dialogue that conveyed what the protagonist was feeling.

  • @gasparmeco7445

    I love the art direction you went with this. I don't know what it is about sci-fi and horror, something about those 2 genres just blend so well! But the color pallette is just amazing! I know it mustve taken forever to make this. But please make more! I love the story too! The whole aspect of hopelessness within the main characters situation is just too good. I mean really, the guy can't seem to catch a break!

    Wow 😲, as an animation student I was impressed, as an animation enthusiast I was amazed by every frame I saw, I paid attention to every detail, the quality that is impressive.
    If there's something I really liked, it was the composition and setting of the scenes, the Line Blur effect is something I really enjoy using.

    I don't know why, but something about THAT shot just... Haunts me. I've watched this three times and the split second horror of it just captivates me. I've slowed it and paused on the frame and lord, it's - it's utterly horrifying for such a small detail in the whole animation. Something about her eye just... Makes it so I can't look away. Amazing job on this. Incredible attention to detail. I really hope that we get maybe a sequel or prequel or something. Or just another animation in general.
