Excellent. A perfect example of how you don't need to cram a storyline into anything, short or long. You only need enough to bring truth. The shots, edits, music and words, wonderful images had me transfixed and emotional. There is much skill and sensitivity here: to work with such economy yet show true pacing, timing, and give resolution to my emotions. I want to say it should be longer, but no, it's perfect.
Yuri did okay, but wasn't given the acclaim by us in the West. I think most the planet watched the moon orbit with even more watching the landing. I kept expecting Armstrong to sink into the surface, as a part of me was secretly hoping it _was_ made of cheese! 😂
Amazingly well done! Like others mention, 2001: A Space Odyssey. However for one who had actually read the book, it connects even the more, it so much feels like an attempt to capture some of what the end might have imagined to feel like if they had the technology to do it. If you like these, and might have missed it, the book is absolutely recommended!
Nice for once to see a short film that _doesn't_ have a horror style ending, or a generally grim depressing ending. Those seem to be such a trope with short films. I don't know why.
@@chrisofnottingham I have, all three, plus the books, on several occasions, but I'd like to see this particular storyline continue to see how they do.
The voice-over is Comm. Frank Borman of Apollo 8, Dec. 1968, doing that never-to-be-forgotten Christmas message from Moon orbit... 'This is Apollo 8, ( et seq ).......'..God bless all of you - all of you on the good Earth.' Other voices are James Lovell and William Anders.
Why stop there? Both Voyagers, launched in the 70's, have already gone beyond our known system and are still operating and, as this film and Arthur C. Clarke's three Odyssey films and books portrayed, these _portals_ take them much further than Neptune... _Much further!_ Lol.
@@billyandrew I did not really think I would find another Clarke fan here and resurface good memories, Going further and becoming a matter-free being with HAL is indeed a grander adventure. In this case I just thought it would be nice going to Neptunian system to stay for a while to fully appreciate its beauty. And there's a proposed body much farther than Neptune with a mass of many earths messing with TNOs' orbits, ready to be found, I really wonder what that planet looks like
Cosmic. Disappointed not to have a bit of _Dark side of the Moon_ played, when the triangles made their appearance. 😂 I sincerely hope there's a follow up to this?
*"Good afternoon... Tango Bango. I am a HAL 9000... computer."* *I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois... on the 12th of January 1992.* *My instructor was Mr. Langley... and he taught me to sing a song...if you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you."* Altogether now _🎶Daisy, Daisy,🎵_ ...
It already was a full-featured film called "2001: A Space Odyssey". If he's trying to get people to invest in a larger story, he'll probably get sued for copyright infringement. If he's just trying to show his animation chops (which is what I suspect), then he did a good job. :)
Cheers! Rendered in full HD with broadcast quality bitrates, so no idea why TH-cam has compressed it so much. I'm re-rendering the whole thing in 4K though so that should look significantly better when it's uploaded.
+Darijo Živković I don't know the exact time because some shots were created entirely in After Effects, but the shots in Blender took anywhere between a couple of hours and a couple of days to render.
I didn’t know the default cube in blender had such a devastating effect on the user.
I'm thinkin' the 160 down-votes are from folks traumatized by the default cube.
hahahaha
"My god, it's full of Space Odyssey references!"
That's what I kept thinking - it's full of 2001: A Space Odyssey.
I was going to write something like that, but you did it first - and better.
ziiofswe hahahaha! Good one:)
Someone give Hal a nudge, he's singing to himself in his sleep again and we're off course, I mean, _really_ off course!
'Hal.......Hal.......tell me what this short sc-fi film is about'.................'I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."
ha! good one...

It's nice that Apollo 8 is remembered. It was the emotional high point of the space program.

One thing good/bad about these films, they end just when you're about to get some sort of answers and there's never a part 2.
Stunning. One of the very, very few S-F movies I've seen that I wish would go on and on.
I love the Apollo mission refference. An awsum time in our history,
that may never be again.
This is amazing I have never seen anything come out of blender this beautiful!
A Space Odyssey in 360 seconds. Kudos!
Not too sure what the meaning of the story is, but the graphics are spectacular.
Seems to be a tribute to 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Bunny Winslow Obviously...NASA is the most expensive Hollywood studio.

All three books...'01, '10 and '13.
RIP Arthur!
Nothing less than a good visualization of the hypothesis according to which the aliens are actually the humans from alternate timeline.
Fantastic short sci-fi - exactly what it should be. No more and no less. Well done!! Mitch from Australia.
Thanks Mitch!
@@BenJewer - You ought to be proud mate :) +1 Sub for the personal response.
I think it's the graphics, that was spectacular
Beautiful. Like 2001 meets Contact. Great work.
Gorgeous, and a realistic and a realistic timeline to Saturn
Nice for once to see a short film that _doesn't_ have a horror style ending, or a generally grim depressing ending. Those seem to be such a trope with short films. I don't know why.
The fact that most tended to end like that pretty much put me off checking these thing out.
Horror is easier, that's why.
very beautiful imagination and perfect graphics...
I particularly enjoyed the 1969-era graphic depicting Atlas-157's insertion into orbit around Neptune. Very nostalgic.
Excellent visuals. I would love to see this story fully realized.
Then watch 2001: A Space Odyssey
@@chrisofnottingham
I have, all three, plus the books, on several occasions, but I'd like to see this particular storyline continue to see how they do.
I love this! As a Sci-Fi nerd this tickles all the right spots! This was beautifully shot! Please make more :D
I'm not sure what I just watched, but I liked it...
Astonishing. Just fascinating.
I would love to see a full length version of this film so i could get the story better :) nice job whoever made it.
Then watch 2001: A Space Odyssey
Wow I think we found here someone with a huge talent...
The voice-over is Comm. Frank Borman of Apollo 8, Dec. 1968, doing that never-to-be-forgotten Christmas message from Moon orbit...

A nice "Space Odyssey 2001" inspired short, nicely done.
Keep up the good work. That's amazing! Wow! The cryptic meaning allowed your imagination to wander.
YES! We need a story now! Amazing!
What's not to like here ? Kubrick & Clarke in one and same homage.
I did enjoy watching, and have subscribed.
Thank you!
Nice little nod to startrek, oblivion and 2001.
Great piece of work - looking forward to seeing your next one.
This is a great job!
This movie seems to be in footsteps of 2001 Space Odyssey. Very nice and opened ended.
The idea of going to Neptune is so interesting and exciting
Why stop there?

Nice and deceptively simple concept. Leaves a lot to the imagination in a good way, not in an incomplete way.
Very impressive visual journey to somewhere very bright and very far away.
Very good job!
Great job, congrats from Spain
This has so much potential!
Bro please tell me about your hardware and pc specification.
Awesome 👍👍👍
Whoa, heavy...
I want more please!!!
ey dude, absolutly spectacular! gz!
the TET From Oblibion (2:09) and the ELYSIUM Space Station (2:39)
The ATLAS Ship also is from Oblivion (i think)
I'll bet you meant Oblivion
That was a critical system error
❤❤❤WONDERFUL❤❤❤
Cool Job - very professional . The music match really good and create a nice atmosphere !
More!!!!!!!!!
Cosmic.
Disappointed not to have a bit of _Dark side of the Moon_ played, when the triangles made their appearance. 😂
I sincerely hope there's a follow up to this?
Beautiful graphics/visuals! But the story is nearly incomprehensible. I still enjoyed it. :)
Try the three Odysseys, books or films, by Arthur C. Clarke...2001, 2010 and 2013.
Really nice. Shades of 2001, love your work...
Awesome.
Graphics are amazing-- good film
A spinning module on a ship, never because of inefficiencies. That close to Jupiter, never because of radiations
Amazing!
Great film good job 👍👍
Why this film hasn't won the competition back in 2016?
I really like this short film, good job!
Good special affects, vague story line
Runs along similar lines to *2001,* basically.
outstanding work !!!
Spectacular FX! The story has been done tho... all we need is HAL. 🥴
*"Good afternoon... Tango Bango. I am a HAL 9000... computer."*
*I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois... on the 12th of January 1992.*
*My instructor was Mr. Langley... and he taught me to sing a song...if you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you."*
Altogether now _🎶Daisy, Daisy,🎵_ ...
Amazing, I hope you can make it a full featured film

Hi may i know the music used in this video?
Damn, That was really well done!
Very cool! Nice work!
This is really good. Love the concept and the render.
AMAZING
Very Visual Indeed! :D
the Borg! Elysium! The Tet! It must be the VFX Artist's' Production Annex!
awesome indeed!
GREAT!
It's the Borg.
I'm jealous. I also make short sci-fi films... But as a complete beginner my graphics are nowhere near yours. Great stuff
Nice Work.
Nice, great concept of exploring the unknown. As others said, wish it was better resolution quality. What was the quality at when you uploaded?
Cheers! Rendered in full HD with broadcast quality bitrates, so no idea why TH-cam has compressed it so much. I'm re-rendering the whole thing in 4K though so that should look significantly better when it's uploaded.
Visually interesting...
amazing job! btw where can I find the music please?
+Titane Oren Thanks! The music is from AudioNetwork, it's called "Off The Grid."
+Genome36
If you liked it, you might give the soundtrack to the 2002 Solaris a listen. Quite similar, I thought.
Such quality! Subbed!
Sorry i dont get it. What is this film trying to tell us?
“ What’s in the Box ?”
god forgot to remove that cube after rendering the universe
great movie. but why do you end it, where the plot actually starts?
Copyright, possibly, as it seems to be an homage to *2001.*
very good work...
So that's where the Cube is
2:35 - Hah, 'Ringworld'!
part 2 please
My god it's full of stars.
Is this the film or the trailer for the film?
What was that about, no idea! Nice CG...
Ships disappear, this crew goes looking and we have a damn good nod to *2001.*
When you said 'short film', you really meant it, huh?!
2001 Abridged. And that's a good thing!
Am I right in thinking that there was a few live-action faces in this?
+Mike Futcher Cheers! Yup, a couple of live action shots composited into NASA photos!
Where did you get the Neptune textures? Did you make them yourself?
They're procedural textures so that they hold up at any level of detail. Lots of work in the node compositor to build up the layers.
very nice ty
loved it
How long does it need to render all of this?
+Darijo Živković I don't know the exact time because some shots were created entirely in After Effects, but the shots in Blender took anywhere between a couple of hours and a couple of days to render.
wow!
NO! It's a trap! It's a cloaked Borg Cube!
Resistance is futile....
awesome!!!11
Final mission to Uranus
And God said, You’ve got three minutes.
But, did he think it was good?
