The story is too short, they would need too much backstory, filler. That's part of what makes his stories great. Nothing is explained, you get what you get. I think maybe they could drag it out to 10 or 15 min at best. Show 6 or 8 vignettes with some little connecting scenes (like Creepshow), then you have a genuine science fiction horror movie.
If I recall, the BBC did a miniseries about 10-20 years ago, which was a story of a crewed flight to many of the planets of the Solar System, including a visit to Venus. It was actually pretty good, though I cannot remember the title.
It's so incredibly difficult to create good short form content and in only around 2 minutes you created something intriguing, a bit horrifying, and lore based enough to make a larger story with interesting characters. Love your comics on instagram and love seeing such great animations being made. Hope your work gets larger recognition and to see more content.
I can imagine her head preserved in a Futurama style glass fishbowl along with Nixon and others. Forever alive as Tricky Dickie's jar mate. A plaque attached describing the first astronaut on Venus. School kids muse at the jars with heads. Now THAT is Hell.
That was my conclusion: Some corporation claimed Venus, and all mineral rights heretoin for itself BUT the claim stake HAD TO BE be placed by a human hand to be officially registered. So they cut a deal with the aging astronaut lady for her to get a kick-ass new body upon the return of her frozen head to Earth.
An Android could have performed that task! "I've seen things,you people wouldn't believe, hmmmm attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched C- Beams glitter in the dark, near The Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain..........
@@strangelee4400 Tricky. However, since, in the Blade Runner universe, replicants are not considered human, I would have to defer to that. Cue the "Equal Rights For Replicants" protests ...
Abaolutely fantastic, honestly. I fell in love with the concepts raised in your comics, and seeing them brought to animation is a great sign for you! Keep up the good work mate, we cant wait for more ❤
Just about! The problem is that you would also need to carry a huge battery around with you to also keep the suit cool enough. In this instance, no battery, so only a few minutes surface time.
Well maybe it would have lasted a bit longer if it wasn't just dropped from orbit and had to survive atmospheric entry to begin with. Also how did the woman inside the suit even survive that landing?
I get it now. Some corporation claimed Venus, and all mineral rights heretoin for itself BUT the claim stake MUST be placed by a human to be officially registered. So they cut a deal with the aging astronaut lady for her to get a kick-ass new body upon the return of her frozen head to Earth.
A feel good, warm and refreshing movie. A movie the whole family will enjoy. surely a candidate for an Oscar. As long as Will Smith isn't the one presenting the award.
Wow!😲Wow! 😲This was... incredible and shocking... amazing... Just big Wow!😲 And then it reminded me of another sci-fi movie, "Moon 44", where, at the end, one kid who stayed behind escaping friends to help cover their retreat, saw some sharp piece coming out of his stomach after the explosion and said "Oh, God, who needs this sh*t?" Anyway, WOW!😲😲
It's a great fun to see another sci fi work that depicts humans walking on the surface of Venus ^^. Personally, I imagine them walking in a suits filled with breathable liquid (Perfluorocarbons, something similar to the technology depicted in J. Cameron's "The Abyss" movie) - maybe that would allow to make the suit less bulky and provide better mobility. The question is if this liquid could serve both as coolant and a breathing medium... and, If humans are still able to function normally enough under such high pressure, even while using liquid breathing...
Nah, hell is a state of mind. There are lots and lots, and lots of people and animals living in hell right now. Sometimes it is luck of the draw, sometimes it is self-imposed by one's choices.
What would be a cool detail to add when you revisit this is if the flesh of the neck singes in the hellish atmosphere of Venus, cauterizing, staunching the bleeding in the process, the moment the head leaves the body.
The problem is pressure. In real, when the head piece of suit started to launch off of the rest, this enormous pressure could squeeze all of the guts thru the neck. In matter of miliseconds also body in the suit will implode and explode outside.
I feel the short missed the mark compared the excellent comic that is is based on. Mostly the short is missing the small world building and foreshadow details the made the original comic so interesting. - No Medusa lego or the Salome name tag on the exosuit. - No buildup of the character toiling and suffering in the failing exosuit in the harsh environment. -No end climax of the character manically laughing at her bodiless state.
Hey! Maybe you could donate to the artist, actor and sfx team to fund all of those details for a twp-minute short! Get them to invoice you. Then you might have a clue about why some details aren't included.
@@rosh9063 I can see now I was being a fool. It is very little of me to criticize the shorts without keeping in mind that the difficulty of animation. I was ignorant of the artist's resource constraint and I provided no helpful suggestion or solutions. Apologies for the disrespect and for my foolishness.
The author explained it more in the original comic. A living astronaut is needed to make a stake of claim, to prove that whatever organization claiming this (land i presume) has the infrastructure to actually get on the surface, and not just sending out unmanned probes.
I have recently studied Venus, and I am very interested in learning more about it, and I would like to know if there is anything I can do to help. It is filled with a scorching sulfuric acid atmosphere, but at high altitudes it is relatively cold and survivable.
*she wakes up in the ship's sickbay with a new body* -How are you feeling? -Terrible! By the way, you know the stories about the first space Explorers? They say that they used automatic probes to perform those tasks. -Hahaha! Ridiculous. That doesn't make sense at all.
This has potential for "love, death & robots", for sure.
Yeah you're right! Such an awesome series.
Wish there would be a movie to all episodes
Absolutely
Agreed, good call

And then you wake up in a new cybernetic body after you quit on Venus

This needs to be a full length film, right now. Great work 👏

Why the design of the suit was so messy? Why only her head goes? was that by design
Everybody knows hell is a real place.
Well, anyone who's seen Event Horizon.
Hell is just a word.
Reality is much, much worse.
reality, isn't scary.
Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see.

“The pointy birds oh pointy pointy”
All those people saying 'Why didn't they send a droid?'
I guess to stake a claim requires a person to physically stake said claim.
That was my conclusion: Some corporation claimed Venus, and all mineral rights heretoin for itself BUT the claim stake HAD TO BE be placed by a human hand to be officially registered. So they cut a deal with the aging astronaut lady for her to get a kick-ass new body upon the return of her frozen head to Earth.
I keep coming back to this video. This is the Top Gun Maverick of SciFi shorts.

But then it wouldn't be a human staking the claim.

Ahh but what does it mean to be 'human'?
@@strangelee4400 Not an android. Maybe a cyborg, but not an android.

What about a replicant? (if we are going with the bladerunner theme).

And funny enough the Soviet Union was able to send a couple of probes there and take pictures, the only pictures we have from the surface so far.
Russians are stubborn that way.
да! Советский Союз ещё много чего смог и ещё сможет! не сомневайтесь возродится как феникс из пепла и тогда весь мир узнает его величие!

been a moment ive seen a short this good and stunning!!! never saw it comming
THAT is how you make an engaging film! Damn! Nicely done! 10/10
Definitely 10/10 but i give it a 1/10 for not making it longer. 😛😉
Pretty cool! Thanks for picking an actual hell planet that's near by. :)
Whoa, great job!
Now I can't wait to see the next one
Specially "Above Flatland", that would be an amazing trip
I LOVE BAD SPACE COMICS!!!!
This is really, really good. I've watch hour-long shows that didn't tell this much story. Totally jealous.
Hell yeah, this one is probably my favorite Bad Space Comic.
I was about to comment all negative about this being a Bad Space comic, but then saw the name. Glad to see another evolution of your storytelling!
So if someone else made this its suddenly a bad space comic?
Would have liked to see her wake up in the new body.
a bit reminds me the emergency procedure "vitrification" in lem's book "fiasko".
I expected that a futuristic space JIM suit would have stood reasonably in Venus atmosphere... 🤔
Just about! The problem is that you would also need to carry a huge battery around with you to also keep the suit cool enough. In this instance, no battery, so only a few minutes surface time.

0:15 "medusa"... I see what you did there...
Thanks for cheering me up!
I read this story a while back. Nice to see it in motion.
This is just amazing, and witty too. I'd watch much more!

Excellent travail! Bravo!
MORE PLEASE
Foi prometido a ela que teria um novo corpo, sendo congelada a cabeça no processo. Ela foi na viagem sabendo que ninguém sobrevive a Vênus.
That was very good lot of real talent on display
Wow that was cold blooded...
PS. Your comic book is looking good, too.
God this is just phenomenal. So much in 2 minutes
Nice little twist at the end! 👍👏

Nice one. Well done.
Excellent! It has a real “The Expanse” vibe to it.
Loved it, really cool
Using the callsign "Medusa" is a pretty cynic... I guess that the spacesuit have the name - "Perseus".
Well, not even the pole survives Venus...
Aw hell yeah. Good work
Brilliant!!
Very cool.
Love it!

Very Nice!!!
Brilliant! I am conflicted, though: a part of me wished to see your stories animated in the same black & white style you use in your comics.
This is so good.
Consider the wreck that I find myself confined to, I'd do such a mission for a new body, too
Sick! Earned my sub!

Super.
Nice music choice I used it for one of my films.
That is one heck of a launch plan. 😳
but if no one survives.. using robots would be the smartest thing to use ...
Nobody survives on the surface of Venus, but the upper atmosphere is safe.
прикольная идея. как раз в духе старой доброй фантастики, как остроумные рассказы молодого Шекли.
Cool idea
I often wonder what terrible history has happened to come to this? planting a flag with a human in preference to a probe seems extreme.
DARK!!! but so very cool!
Очень атмосферно!

If you belive venus is a hell planet,i suggest you check out a person named valient thor.
At least she quit while she was ahead.
They can make a new body for a head but they cant use a droid to go to the surface?

Well, I guess I won't be going to Venus.
Very thin balloon seem to hold up very well.
I have recently studied Venus, and I am very interested in learning more about it, and I would like to know if there is anything I can do to help.
It is filled with a scorching sulfuric acid atmosphere, but at high altitudes it is relatively cold and survivable.
I was kind of hoping some local parasites would reanimate the headless body, Dead Space style.
I went to Venus just last week. Took a cheese sandwich and a bag of Doritos. Had a great time there.

-How are you feeling?
-Terrible! By the way, you know the stories about the first space Explorers? They say that they used automatic probes to perform those tasks.
-Hahaha! Ridiculous. That doesn't make sense at all.
If it was love death and robots, they would have lied to her about surviving. Like Moon.
