I really like being treated like an adult and allowed to fill in some of the spaces with my own imagination, as opposed to being force-fed the same old tropes. You should be making movies, not the current set of filmmakers making product, not art. I will do you one more solid. Read anything, anything at all by Jack Vance. If that doesn't make a zillion ideas for great movies burst out of your head, I'll eat my hat.

      @@jessiejames2155 In the physical world, all mass and energy tend toward entropy which is a state of perfectly uniform distribution of mass with a net zero energy potential. Or so goes the theory. A hot mass will cool by radiating it's energy to nearby cooler mass and so on until all energy is evenly distributed. In so doing, physical mass is also emitted into nearby low mass space. The theory was described in a short story by Isaac Asimov called "The Last Question". Fascinating story if you're interested in the topic.

    I first came across this gem years ago - and enjoyed it immensely. I found it again a couple times in the years that followed and enjoyed it again, each time. Like the Disney ride, "It's a Small World" (which is best seen with a small child, tho you then have to go again and again and again...), there's something new to see with each viewing.
    I thought about it again a few days ago and the quixotically quirky spirit threaded through the entirety of the 16:38 minutes. I stumbled across it again a few minutes ago, queued it up, and listened as I added some extremely deserving praise for this small treasure. I've bookmarked it now, something I try to be *extremely* selective about doing or I'd have the whole net ref'ed.
    Thank you. Thank you for your imagination and for getting it all together so you could offer this fabulous short film to the net - to the world - at large. You guys well and truly rock.

      @@climbtheladder9440 what surprises most people about a great idea is how simple the idea was to begin with, sometimes it writes itself, other times it comes from two or more ideas, the brilliant john lennon (of the beatles) wrote "i am the walrus" just to confound people who were looking for deep meaning in their music, that was the idea wrote the music and lyrics... "lucy in the sky with diamonds" was simply his son's take on a nursery rhyme, everyone was sure it was about "lsd", lennon wrote another song called "because" while listening to yoko try to play beethoven's famous "moonlight sonata", he reversed the melody, cut it in half and used the finished product as the melody for his own song.
      ideas can come from a myriad of sources, the brilliant part is knowing how to use these well studied technics to inspire your own creation, lennon didn't just pluck an idea out of thin air, he was always working on some process to flesh an idea out. he was always as inquisitive about the process as much as the final product.

    This excellently done and a great story. I especially like the use of light, the way Lufo is illuminated at times. Towards the end, when he finally goes back to the "portal" or whatever, and he turns around to look back...the light envelopes him again and one of those circle things with the alien text briefly appears around his head as if a halo. Finally, as the critter comes up out of the water and we hear Armstrong's voice (I watched every Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo flight growing up)...then as the view zooms in on the eye of the critter, the music...and seeing Apollo 11 heading towards the moon (unfortunately, backwards -- it wouldn't turn around to point the engine of the service module towards the moon until it was time to do the lunar orbit insertion burn)...it gets me every time. The only other thing that should've been caught was having the moon rotate counter to the Earth's rotation. The same "side" always faces towards us -- it's "tidally locked". However, later, as the several "info rings" began appearing around Earth, the moon is as it should be. Those technicalities aside, it's still an excellent short and it would be great to have a higher resolution version to watch.
