To those watching, first off, thank you. This is a passion project a team of about 12 people who did this in their free time over the course of about 8 months. We did our very best to make sure we made something fans of Cyberpunk, as well as, sci-fi in general would enjoy. We didn't have the best budget, but dammit we had a vision and we tried our hardest to achieve it! From, script, to costumes, to VFX, editing and the score (soundtrack) we made it all with out human hands! So whether you love this, or it isn't your cup of tea, grateful for you watching and we've love to hear your thoughts no matter what! Appreciate you being here chooms! ~Cam
I like the film very much! But the anti-AI sentiment you're promoting seems hypocritical given that the bullet time effect looks like it made use of After Effects' RotoBrush tool, which is AI powered. It has the signature edge wiggle that does not appear if more traditional rotoscope techniques are used. Given that the characters in Night City are often altering their biology with technology I think its thematically fitting to use machine-learning techniques to supplement your hard work. I think its fine to use the tools that help you get the work done efficiently. But any time you involve a computer in the filmmaking process, you run the risk of AI being involved. Things aren't always so black and white that "AI" is bad and "human" is good. We need more nuance in the discussion around the use of technology in filmmaking. While RotoBrush isn't Generative AI specifically, Adobe has been one of the least ethical companies lately when it comes to training their software on peoples work, and by using it, your film likely helped improve their AI model.
Man if a bunch of fans can put this much passion behind only 7 minutes. Studios should have no problem doing live action right with the amount of money they have.
This honestly feels like a Early Episode of Edgerunners! Lucy still be sassy towards David, David still lacking combat w/ his Chrome, His hesitation to Kill,and Maine still being in the picture. Y'all honestly did amazing! So glad I found ya after Lucy was revealed for GG Strive ✌️
I cant express just how delighted I am to have been involved in this film! Scoring this film was an absolute pleasure, and Cam, Leo, and the whole team were so good to work with! Seeing all these great comments fills me with joy, and I'm so happy to see everyone enjoying watching (and listening to!) it. Thank you!
Incredible work. Working with a low budget is hard, but somehow you guys managed to sell Night City as real in this short. Loved the editing and effects. Overall just really sick stuff.
To those in front and behind the camera this is incredible. You can really tell how much work and passion went into this project. The Cyberpunk vibe is out in full force. The costumes and sets are brilliant. Cam, Erica & Danny play their roles so well. The editing and effects just take it all to another level. 🔥
Is it? This is alright but it isn't amazing, it is passable. I'm glad that somebody made something but pretending that it is perfect isn't helping anyone.
@@winniesomethin Bro real, but i gotta agree on this one. The whole production is fuckin awesome for what it is, but constructive crits is definietely what creators prefer. It ain't perfect, but it's really good, especially David
@@thomgizziz tell me you have jealousy issues without telling me you have jealousy issues. Every comment you’ve made is just shitting on the production, not even legitimate constructive criticism, just the vaguest complaints (“Bad ADR”, “bad writing”, etc). If it’s so clearly bad, you go make something better since you apparently know so much, dork.
Indeed, it's the power of Hollywood professionals using the highest end equipment as well as having a creative love for the project that made the VFX and lighting so darn good!
Something about this feels like a cheesy 2000's action flick set in the 2077 universe and it's *perfect*. Some of the lines do feel a bit forced, but it does remind me a lot of when I used to do home movies and I can't get enough of it. The end song's also super good!
Some of the lines? They recorded all the lines in the studio after shooting. The writing is pretty bad also. It is far from perfect and gaslighting people isnt the help you think it is.
@@thomgizziz just let us enjoy it man... its very obvious that the shortfilm is made purely through passion, but that shouldnt stop us from admiring the effort they put into it
😂 it's givin our Gen of Back to The future. 80s looking at 2020 like it was gonna be amazing tech. Us 90s looking at 2077 like it's gonna be this.. close enough 😆
this is very well written and well acted. the costumes are great and the sound design and effects were really impressive, especially considering time and funding constraints
Excellent work guys!!! It's so great to see how much passion you guys have put into creating this masterpiece. Everything is pitch perfect, the casting, the scenes, the props, the music and the best part being ending. The moon and the bgm is the perfect ending and an excellent homage you could have given to Edge Runners. 🙌 Keep it up!!!
I cannot get over just how incredible this is! I enjoyed each and every second of this. The love and passion for the project was so evident! I wish you and your friends nothing but the best in your future ventures! I look forward to more from you guys! I subbed immediately!!!
OMHO that monowire move kinda stole the show for me, that was classy, hearkened back to Johnny Mnemonic, glorious. I love seeing projects like these come together, great work!
Man, the script and costume design was amazing. Genuinely perfect. Other parts could obviously use a little work, but this is so good for a low budget film
This is really good! The costumes, the style, and the sandevestan effect is spot on. You all did a terrific job on this fan film. The David actor and the Lucy actor were quite good.
even with your budget being low, the team clearly put money where it mattered most. fun performances and a vision clearer than most multimillion dollar studio films, congratulations on fantastic job and understanding storytelling better than the average professional in Hollywood. I'd donate to a feature project if y'all ever go that route
This is pretty great! My favorite part were the sets, as everything looked authentic. Whether you make another project or not, this was great and I appreciate you for making it
Hell yeah this rules!!! I love the bullet time duel. We got a glimpse of one in the show but I really wanted to see a full one and you guys delivered! Plus that shot at the end really had my heart. Well done to everyone involved and thank you so much!
Aw thank you! I’m the director, our team really discussed at length what the sandevistan duel should look like to communicate the sheer speed and awesomeness while still being able to show clear, good fight choreography. Also, exactly what we wanted with the ending scene! So glad you enjoyed it!
@@dannyechevarria2698What’s the matter, choom? Some gonk zero your dog? Lost all your eddies? Cranky from too much chrome? That’s not very nova of you.
Nicely done guys! This was a solid representation of the World and Characters of Cyberpunk. I'd love to see more! Maybe even consider adapting a chapter or two of Necromancer!
Just imagine with the right budget and the right visionary outlook on a project like this how it could look as long as there's no bloat within the project this could turn out to be a really good idea for a series set in live action for cyberpunk I just wish that fans could take a hold of certain IP although I would suggest having people who actually created the game and mike pondsmith involved so that way no inconsistencies between lore but other than that this fan video is really good for what it is it shows that creativity is not dead
massive respect towards this. just can't help but feel if it came out shortly after the show aired everyone would lose their minds. but 8 months of production is no joke, my mind's blown still 🤯
So cool. Captured the vibe completely. My only gripe was the sharpie looking lines on the bad guys face. Other than that one very minor thing, I think you all did a fantastic job. If this were a series, I would definitely watch it. ❤
I'm glad you did David's hair good lot of the cosplayers do horrible weird job at doing David's hair and yours seems the most normal by far for how I'd think it would actually look 🔥
Yes it took a while to figure out exactly how we wanted to do his hair, but we realized I'm more minimalistic approach was the way to go. We thought about dying besides that blonde color but it just looks weird in live action, I'm glad you like it!
the anime ending made me feel so empty, i am so happy this was recommended to me. thank you, you've saved me for going even more cyberdepressed, i am relieved with this.
It's been ages since I saw a fan-film of this caliber! It is also extra cool, that it can be basically fitted into the canon without any issue, taking place after the carjacking after Episode 3 and during the time David is trained in Episode 4! Also this was shared on all the Edgerunners socials, so... Congrats on that too chooms!
this was sooo good would love to be a part of a passion project like this...Very well executed, the lighting editing all of it you should be proud of yourselves.

that was a heavy hitter now i wanta go back and watch this anime again it was soooooo good

If this is a small budget film imagine what these guys could do with a full budget film! Chase your dreams man, this is AMAZING
I'm sure their experience and skill have a plateau that wouldn't match a big budget, but that kind of ability comes with time.
@@SweetZombiJesus just say you agree
Okayyyy I'll watch Edgerunners for the 57th time and fall into the game for another 3 months

Good job everyone!! I’m glad y’all were able to make this!
I loved the VFX of the monowire and hacking.
I can see the heart and soul that was put into this, and I appreciate it.

Excellent! There is passion and dedication in this project.
