FORTRESS THE LAST DAY OF WAR -Full Clip-

- It has been twenty years since the last Great War broke out. All people are dead, but automatons continue obediently follow orders. On the computerized base, machines fuel and charge the weapons of last surviving bomber, as it prepares to drop bombs on a long dead enemy city. This conflict grinds on, until the echo of mankind subsides completely.
Then, a new era in which there is no place for us.

Imagine an alien race visiting this world to find all intelligent life is gone but their machines are still waging a war on nothing.
That would be sad
We are a paradox, were the smartest creatures on earth but dumb enough to annihilate ourselves.
There's a comic about this scenario. Aliens discover earth but their ships are immediately destroyed by atom bombs on rockets. They try to destroy the bases relying on their superior technology of protective shields but are countered by such a vast armada of rockets that the shields' defensive capacity is oversaturated and they have to retreat under heavy losses.
And on earth the machines replenish their stockpile of atomic weapons as the humans programmed them to do before they were killed in the last atomic war hundreds of years ago.
@@billmiller4972 can you tell me the name? sounds interesting
@@zekeandersson2040 Hi, sorry no. I've tried to retrieve the story but to no avail. It may well be that I've read it some 30 years ago. Maybe someone in a comic book forum would know.
The machine spirit on that bomber endured for so long
Requiescat in pace, et in omnisseum sanctum, amen.
I didnt expect to find a Warhammer reference here. Praise the maschine god brother
for the omnissiah
But it is Abominable Intelligence.
Even in death, he still served the emperor
look at that pilot, he keeps getting kills even after he was dead, what a badass...
death before dishonor with my KD SON. WE AINT PLAYING NO GAMES
damn. He must have a fantastic KD ratio
bet he'd be great in competitive
He be getting the afterlife
he go to Valhalla...
So epic...
I love how the automatic systems kept trying to keep it flying till the very end. And even though we know the pilot was long dead, the plane tried to save the pilot anyway.
Rest in peace, you last hero of a war long forgotten.

You want the prequel? Watch the news.
I would pay 2 watch that...
Just imagine what that computer is thinking...
It must keep fighting, yet it’s lost all of its combat units.
That must be it’s version of hell.
Very late I know, or that it's finally completed it's objectives to the fullest extent it can, in a way. Time to shut down.
I think otherwise.
The war is over. It can rest, if youre so poetical, as to say it
It no doubt gained sentience. It's probably tired. So tired. It wants to stop but it has to keep its directive
Bomberplane was a good boi, who did his duty till the very end.
Rest in peace, Bomberplane

I absolutely love this video. It also has an intriguing thesis behind it: often times, whenever we make stories of us making intelligent machines for war, our greatest fear is that they'll refuse their programming and turn agaisnt us. This clip however, paints a much darker possibility: that they might do EXACTLY what we tell them to.
And then keep fulfilling that programming long after we’re gone.

only a bad leader loses a war...like the germans did in both world wars, sadam hussian, bin laden SUPER godlike leaders like me wont lose.. im ranking nr 1 in command and conquer generals because i know everything and anything
@@kyriss12 yep , this is the lore/backstory to both Fred Saberhagen's Berserker series and the later Alien canon ; both previously created as weapons to be used against their opponents , only to later turn on their creators as well , with the berserkers being non-organic and the aliens being organic
this is a well known or at least its been known for a long time even if its not well known today , its called the curse of getting exactly what you want
I cannot express how both depressing and yet beautiful this short film is. The quality and detail is simply amazing, you get a Metro 2033 vibe from it and the feeling that after humanity has finished killing off ourselves the world will quite happily go on ticking by without us.
As a soldier who has been through several wars I assure you, there is nothing beautiful about it.
@@smokejaguarsix7757 No one said it was. The film clearly portrays that.
the FILM was beautiful.
Totally agree!
On Metro not all humanity disappears, some prevail, others evolved into the Dark ones
@@marcesemaschietto The Peta's zealot:
I used this scenario in a StarTrek ttrpg - where I basically let an away team strand on a world which former dominant species successfully purged themselves from the gene-pool that way.
The only threats were a little bit of wild life and a LOT of automated defense systems.
In the end they had to convince the last remnants of the strategical thinking system to stop, by pretending to be a govnerment body. The last "living" native died with the question 'Did I do well?'
It's a beautiful piece of art and that I think needs to be shared :D
Wasn't there a TNG episode like that? The Arsenal of Freedom?
Yes, similar.@@timonsolus
@@timonsolus Indeed. And it's really a great episode.
But the tone and visuals of this here animation hit's the same vain even harder :D
Man I love scenarios like that, exploring the ruins of a once great civilization. Horribly depressing seeing how far they've come only to get bopped from existence. Only game that gave me a sense of dread like that is Rainworld.
Where can we watch this?
Scary thoughts brought up by this movie. If we let robots fight our battles it will never end because they won’t know when to quit . This was really well done.
More tenacious than us? I like it. That's commendable.
@@midgetman4206Hello and welcome to the shortfilm checkpoint.!
How was your stay?
I like it,hope it happen in next few years when AI took over and wipe out life on earth.
@@m5a1stuart83 ai is falling down stairs and generating cp, I dont think its gonna be able to do that any time soon, atleast not within our life time
Planetary annihilation is a game that shows a good example of that on the most extreme end of that scale
7 years later, and some bit of automation is still making sure we see this work of art. It's the end of 2023, and hope for the new year comes soon. May you still be remembered.
This is honestly the best take on 'autonomous war machines' I have seen.
It is so fresh, not just 'Oh NO, TheY GrEw KnoWInG And NoW THey Are WanTing To MAke HumaNs DeaD'
This just feels so much more believable and, "accurate". You watch this, and you can fully understand how this would come about, why these systems were developed.
not only is it conceptually incredible, the execution is breathtaking. In a short 9 minutes, this art has been able to convey the emotions of a full feature film much better than any micheal bay CGI mess we currently have on 'the big screen'.
Even 4 years on, this is a breath of fresh air.
This video is indeed exactly what i thought of when i read about the dead hand and EAM system from the cold war.
@@jellebleeker What is the "EAM system"? Also "Dead hand" is an incredibly badass name/concept. "Even when I fall, I will stand" or something like that comes to mind.
@@midgetman4206 its the emergency action message (eam) its the message send to all nuclear capable forces to strike a target. Its send from the pentagon. Or if the pentagon is gone then it can be send from a minuteman missile or sattelites.
The way that computer says "No data" gives me goosebumps.
Although it would have probably said "No input" instead.
Unless it was searching for the vitals of the pilot, in which case, since the pilot was dead, there'd be no data
Yeah although i love this animation that part ive always disliked i would rather have had it say "no reply"
@@jackkraken3888
If we assume it's mindlinked like the "thinking modules" at the base it'd make sense that it's calling it a datalink rather than an input system.
@@CruelestChris fair enough
Reminds me of this quote associated with Einstein: "I do not know with what weapons WWlll will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones"
He was wrong, there will be no war after World War III.
how do you know? World war 3 is already at our doorstep, all we need is something to light it, and oulia youve got a world war 3, world war 4? I dont think its impossible
Almost true but not completely... it is possible that some would survive and adept, but unlikely, still survivors in isolated parts of the world could survive and rebuild eventually.... but i am rather depressed that you would end up correct.
John Chang No kidding.
"In a world where not everybody is sane, it is the height of insanity to create a weapon powerful enough to destroy us all... and then freely give it to both sides."
I want those turrets in my War Thunder bombers
Like Tu-4? in War Thunder my nick is Covenant_37
wait what you play war thunder?
I want those on my pby
traktor if you want a bomber get a b29 not a soviet knockoff
@dav id jones
the TU-4 has 20mm cannons, i consider that a upgrade
Don't know why, but I felt a very strong sensation to cry. It felt like it was telling history or something, I can't really describe it. Thanks for uploading this though, touched me in the feels.
USA Ball is true,same to me when I see again
USA Ball It is sad because it says something about human nature, all human life gone, our great works, our technological feats, the machines we built continued the war, but we are no longer there.
Yeah, what really worries me is that it might actually happen.
Because at the end that metal plate with red lights is what is assumed to be its targeting system asking the pilot for help but it's dead and before the plane crashes the plate moves frantically as if it fears death
@USA Might I suggest you watch the animation "Man" by Steve Cutts. Trust me.
Only the dead seen the end of war
Sir oswald Mosley thats Plato
Harry Pagaran I know
and birds, apparently.
@ComocosonoEWL son go and fight a war before you comment
@@harrypagaran7801
It'd actually not, it's George Santayana, misattributed to Plato in General Douglas MacArthur's farewell address at West Point.
I come back to watch this animation from time to time.
This one certainly manages to confront us with the entire nonsense of war - and how far humans can go.
Nobody talked about the secundary thinking modules we see in the film. These give me the creeps cause we witness what humans can do to other humans for a goal, stripping them of their own humanity till the machine they're part of simply shuts them of. Think about it: These humans in the modules might have been the last humans to be alive (technically).
This should be a lesson to all of us, to always be aware of our human dignity which can be the one and only guide to never let this happen.
Only "Poilus" makes up for a even more dramatic anti war animation film I think. It's a masterpiece.
Even more relevant today
@@shawnhuggett4839 You are soooo right!😬
I do to, its really good and tells us about the problems with humanity, we must all get along
Have you seen this?

@@shawnhuggett4839 Is probably a phrase as old as our species. Equally overused.
Another interesting thought: image you're part of a space fairing race. You notice this planet, that could support life, maybe even intelligent one. You aproach, and all you find, are ruins from a civilisation that once must have been great but ended up destroying themself.
I would find this quite depressing.
Time to do something about it then, because we are moving in that direction of NK and Trumps arguments are any indications.
There were a few Star Trek and Stargate episodes that tackled that very question.
And lots of other SF. The Ringworld books, for example. Philip K Dick does some pretty grim stories too. Some of the old SF radio shows have this as a theme, and from listening to a lot of them I can tell a lot of modern movies stole a lot of their ideas from those shows.
Ray Giordano very, very true.
Jeffry what ones?
This big planes design is Amazing, it looks creepy and cool at tge same time, i would give anything to fly that thing when it would exist
is beautiful
Covenant-37 yep
So beautiful!!!!
Like being a skeleton?!
Or maybe not...
the plane designs are beautiful and at the same time give the idea that the people were willing to make and fly planes made out of whatever materials they could scavenge just to continue fighting
This is my synopsis of the two videos
10 Years after the Great War (ended)
A lone bomber, en route on its mission. It's internal navi-computer tells the pilot it's about 70 km from it's bombing point, and awaits the pilot's command. The pilot, long dead, didn't execute any input, do the bomber engages autopilot and continues with its mission. The bomber's radar detects an incoming enemy fighter, its pilot also dead, and attempts to shoot down the bomber, with its defenses armed. The bomber suffers minor damage and it's No. 3 cannon disabled. The neighboring cannon proceed to shoot down to fighter. The bomber arrives at its drop point, release it's payload, and returns to base for repair, refuel and reload.
20 Years after the Great War(ended)
At an air force control zone, several supercomputer modules, linked up with the dead minds of several humans, boot up and await for human commands. The modules detect no input and so they, too, engage auto-mode. The supercompter runs a diagnostic scan for any living personnel and equipment. It detects a single bomber, the same bomber that dropped its bombs 10 years before, at an air force base, partially repaired. The supercomputer prepares the bomber for one last mission, arming its payload and loading the cannons. Unfortunately, the arming process is interrupted by some sort of structural failure of the hanger, and sends the bomber early. However, the reactor powering the hanger is destroyed (presumably because of the structural failure) and the hanger door is shut. The main supercompter redirects the military base's secondary power to unlock the hanger door, killing the human mind-powered supercompter modules. The bomber then automatically starts its engines and take off. Soon after take off, however, the No.5 engine fails and catches fire due to old age and possibly neglect. The right wing loses lift and it's control surfaces failing, while the computer awaits the pilot to activate the fire surpression system. The bomber, quickly losing altitude and speed, prepares to eject the lone, dead pilot while the computer proceeds to terminate itself.
It ditches at a lake with its pilot safely ejected, ending its 20+ year service with the air force, all for the extinction of the human race.
so it would of been better if the fighter plane had shot down the bomber earlyer
Actually, the ending might be quite a bit darker when you factor in the sun doesn't rise that fast (6:01). What might have happened is another nation's AI that happened to be in the area seemingly dropped a nuke, indirectly taking out the enemy nation's last unit, implying the war may have only ended just for one country☠💀
Humanity's final draw, a duel between dead hands, and at long last, the long-awaited answer to the question whose indomitable intrigue killed humanity... who'd win in a fight?
Last War, not Great War.
Great War is WWI
And the War didn't ended. Read, it says since started.
Computers continue the war.
@@cauyawolfe4724 indeed it was a nuke, if you stare at it you can see the inner light source spreading at length on the horizon, indicating an explosion...your theory is 100% correct
The beauty of this video is the constant "WTF was that?"
"WTF is going on"
"WTF happened?"
Am I the only one who kinda got a war hammer 40.000 k vibe from this... This was incredible well made... terrifying the same time.
Footage of planet wiped of Human life by the Men of Iron. Recovery date 144 M35 (colourized)
This could actually fit very well into this. The Dark Age of technology.
40.000 k? what is this? Warhammer 40kk ?
In the Emperors name we shall hold the line and die standing!
Kind of gives more of a Fallout vibe to me....still well done
This takes the term "Dead Hand System" to a new level. Very well done.

billy bobby yeah like a short movie
billy bobby same.
just watch the animatrix, that should just about do it for ya
Try Girls last tour
Lol there is no expanded universe. They all died.
It would be even more ironic if after all that destruction and the war was "over" it begins "automated reconstruction efforts" and dutifully rebuilds a world for a people it dutifully destroyed. That whole new supply lines and automated chains of commerce flowing for a world that isn't there.
I Think the failure of Ammunition loading at 4:38 comes from the destroyed 3rd Cannon...ps: i Love this Animation...I find it realistic and very sad...i wish for myself that this becomes a Movie...I would Watch it
:(
Is true
Nah, the failure is from the base's loading infrastructure being destroyed when the roof caved in and destroyed the reactor.
@@ReddwarfIV I have a feeling that part also lead the engines being screwed as we know ontop of this, the 37AAA(short for 37 Automatic Air Army) had its engines shot at by the hostile fighter likely leading the engine failure on the left side while the right side suffered the largest blunt of the dust and debris from the cave-in which on top of just how worn down the 37AAA is likely killed the two right engines
@@conorfoley9527 Probably.
I think "37th Automatic Air Army" refers to the unit that the bomber was assigned to, not the bomber itself.
So sad. The faithful, stalwart robobomber was true to the very end, and at last, can rest in peace.

"I think I'd call him a monster."
"Yes. So would I."
Thats a good quote, where is it from? I'd like to borrow it.
@@tr4480 It's from one of the Lost Fleet books, somewhere later in the series. They're pretty good military sci-fi stories overall, but sometimes they have moments that stand out as better than everything around them.
7:15 R.I.P. good and faithful soldier.
This really needs to be a full movies or series. Wonderful work!
Nicely done!
Excellent choice of music. A striking color palette and unique vehicle design.
And the ending message is awesome. Even if we destroy ourselves, life will still find a way.
A similar story everyone would probably enjoy is "The Flying Dutchman" by Ward Moore, first published in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction in September 1956 about an automated bomber still flying missions after everyone has died long ago. Let me add that this is an incredible piece of filmmaking, absolutely riveting from start to finish
i like how great this is, like every detail is perfect, in the end when the bomber is about to crash, you can see the wings bending as they're being stressed from the rapid decent of the bomber, perfection
god i want more on this war!! i could watch a movie on this!!
Sean Devine the war is over
Should done pre war of pilots in their planes b4 what happened to them
Russell Willingham they failed to repopulate the earth
That heart achingly beautiful Tchaikovsky at the end of Fortress. What a moment.
Dima Fedotov is one of the best animators i ever known, his short films are full of meanings and facts, he is a legend, i wish that he could make a full movie someday out of this.
this is the ending to death stranding
No
Didn't expect to see you here Mr.Mox
Nani?
holy shit that was good! so the ai was waiting to wake up the humans until all the combats units were lost, because they used AI as a dead mans hand or switch to kill their enemies (both sides did the same) but the war had basically been over for a while with all the civilians dead and the AI was just fighting eachother and nuking the hell out of the earth for go knows how long? how close am I?
craft number 3460 must have been nuking non-stop for 30 years 10 years in war 20 years after until her engines failed
The Great Mechanized Ape
Basicly correct except for the "wake up the humans" thing, automated warfare was normal and advanced enough to keep going decades after their human controlers died, and since they died before the end of the war there was no stop command given.
How the Hell have I not seen this before now?!? This is depressing and amazing, and hauntingly beautiful. We need more of this. The last subs fighting each other at sea, maybe? Endless swarms of drones taking each other on?
Lesson: humans cant survive without earth but earth survives without humans
We need to civilize other planets
Colonizing planets is fine, but I too favor orbital stations.
@Dylan Kimble War is not the cause of all (*EDIT*) the problems that comes with an intelligent species sustaining its own growth, unless you consider any conflict what so ever as a war.
@Dylan Kimble That is likely, yes, but you only refer to war as the reason for running. It being our own creation.
And the tirade I did where you consider conflicts as wars, is an assumption that was supposedly gearing towards your thoughts on the matter.
@Dylan Kimble But in the context of your comment, one can only draw to add to the weight of what you say but what you've said previously. i.e., The reason for running being war, as you refer to war as being our own creation and nothing else.
I do't think it all unique to humanity, and it most likely wont even be unique to earth.
But I get your meaning now, thank you for the clarification.
But otherwise I agree and accept what you say in the second half of your reply.
In the Blade Runner films war is waged over resources in space also.
Damn, 6 years and this is still one of the best animations I've seen in a while, the only one that compares is the Warhammer 40k "Astartes" and even that doesn't have as good of story telling. Also, I find the shift of this to this channel's more recent content, it's kind of funny
Haa... Story here is given to you is clear and plain, unlike Astartes. But to each...it's own.
this is the good stuff...stuff that is away from the usual castings of boring, commercial and predictable filming...Great Job..!
I like the eerie environment of this clip: There's ABSOLUTELY NO humans in the video like what the description says. It's just automatons fulfilling orders their human engineers program them to do.
The Great Atlantic War that preceded the Last War resulted in the destruction of most of the world's mining and manufacturing capacity, leading to a shortage of rare earth metals and inability to manufacture advanced alloys.
In the five years leading up to the Last War, what remained of the Great Powers designed new armaments that resembled long-antiquated military hardware, in lacking technologies like jet engines and rocket propulsion.
While primitive by the standards of the weapons used in the Atlantic War, the easier to manufacture parts and lack of exotic materials meant that they could be mass produced with the dwindling resources available to the surviving states. The Thinking Modules were built from the remaining stocks of graphic processing units, to give mankind one last great technological marvel.
Wait, so these animations were actually based off existing works?
A well thought out possible prequel
@@Anonymouse_Art_INC no
@@TheEmeraldMenOfficial Oh, thanks? It’s been 3 years. You didn’t have to answer lol
They clearly have jets. I think It’s gotta be some alternative reality 1950s where ww2 didn’t end in 1945. Not sure what language the fighter pilot was speaking but if it’s Russian then the USSR didn’t stop in Berlin and kept going west until all of Europe is under the USSR. Nuclear technology advances faster than aircraft. The fighter jet is copied from advanced captured German blue prints for the Lippisch P13a, while the bomber is a heavily modified b-36. The United States does not have the man power to invade Europe and the USSR does not have the resources to invade North America. Since nuclear bombs were in their infancy there wasn’t a large stockpile of nuclear weapons for a few years so the global nuclear war took years to destroy humanity and not hours like it would have in our timeline. In these years supercomputer tech expands exponentially as a desperate Hail Mary to win
The animators got confused on the first vignette. They animated cluster munitions but the explosions were the single warhead type.
This... is... amazing! And the "War is over" part is bone chilling.
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pool singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
Sara Teasdale (1920)
The short story based on that poem is very impactful as well.
When you develop robots to fight your war, when you die no one tells them when to stop. The war doesn’t stop until the computer does, long after it’s job is done and we’re all gone
I think you get the message here.Everything is dead long ago but the weapon system is automatic so it keeps runing.
Artemiy Belov no shit bro
now imagination how long the war could go on if it can repair them selfs and get resources it might have gone on forever til there was noting left but dust in the wind
I bet these systems are not windows based lol
Gotta say this is a beautifully sad short. In the end of all war there are no winners there is no true peace until all things living have died, also I absolutely love the very diesel-punk/industrial-punk art style
That was deep and beautiful.
Yep,makes cry
Test
Reminds me of laputa castle in the sky, maybe this could be how the castle got to the sky, a war and an ark to save humanity
We open on an old cracked stone carving, presumably a sign welcoming people to the city of Laputa, regardless of its original purpose here it serves both as a title card and a scene setting device instantly informing us that this tale will deal with ancient history, from here we jump to a gorgeous shot of a goddess blowing wind through a cloudy sky, rendered in the distinctive cross hatch style of Victorian wood cut illustrations, the same kind of illustrations you would see in the novels of jewel verb that so clearly inspired this film, normally when you see this style of art in animation it’s on stiff static images but here the clouds billow naturally subtly ruffling there cross hatch shadows as they drift across the sky, in the next shot we see a lone human harnessing this power of the gods perhaps for the first time in human history working with some sort of wind powered kiln, the technology only becomes more impressive from here, one windmill grows into dozens spinning away on precarious industrial revolutionary towers covered in crains pulleys and other tools of industry panning down to the city’s ground level we see the wind is driving massive gears and pistons, there’s a certain hypnotic beauty to the cyclical motion of the machinery something the film itself also captures marvelously and from what I can tell is something that inspired Miyazaki on his initial trip to wales that served as the impotence for creating this film, but there’s more to this than just steam punk animation porn, it’s telling a story, the rise and fall of Laputa, these gears drive industrial shovels that boar into the earth at great speed, with the power of one force of nature under there control the humans are claiming dominion over another, in the next shot we see that what was once one tiny kiln has become many mountains belching smog into the sky as the gears keep turning beneath them presumably turning the ore from the mine into something a little more useful, specifically steam punk airships with the massive windmills and industrial gears now compacted back down to human scale but technology races forward, the airships get bigger, and soon whole fleets are soaring through the sky lines of towering modern day city’s all of this building up to man kinds crowning achievement, the castle in the sky, Well a castle in the sky not The Castle from the movie in the poster, what we see here is clearly a prototype driven by massive propellers instead of the black dome that holds up Laputa and with completely different more pyramid shaped architecture, still it’s a sight to behold, and the music soars as the camera pulls back to show us the full majesty of what we’re seeing, after toiling to break free of there earthly bonds for generations humanity has achieved it but one of the underlying themes of Laputa is oneness with the earth and as we shortly see what goes up must come down, before that though we see an entire fleet of floating islands, each with there own city’s, castles, even lakes and farm land, from the purely industrial first model mankind has moved on to bringing the terrestrial comforts of the ground up with them, in a single shot the film hints at a world that stretches well beyond the bounds of the camera while the movie itself only gave us a glimpse of the one castle the last city remaining in the sky here we see a full civilization of Laputa that was far beyond any of that, but it doesn’t last, the storm clouds of war loom on the horizon and eventually blow away the castles and airships leaving the survivors to abandon there homes and take to the land to rebuild, yet the wind of fate keeps blowing and in a shot mirroring the start of the opie we see Sheeta living a simple earthy farm life about to get caught up in it, the implication is clear, humans can’t shake there desire to soar above their limits, the sky will always call to them, but while we can accomplish great things forgetting our place in the natural order only leads to repeated cycles of ruin.
This feeling like some warhammer 40k type stuff and I like it is there anymore like this
Like how the fighter sound is the sound of an Avro Vulcan taking off specifically the howl sound.
Oh, my god this is amazing. Thank you. Thank you so much.
This was beautiful in the most depressing way possible and i thank you for putting this into the world.
Love the sound of that turret firing at 1:09
This is actually such a cool idea, a race wiped out by their own war, but their mashines still waging war, refueling, rearming and repairing on repeat while their former pilots are just along for the ride
I know everyone's looking at the sadness of this but I'm looking at the planes 20 years or so no maintenance and it can still carry out bombings which is impressive
This has always been my favorite animated short, even 7 years later
Very well done. A frightening end of life scenario done exceptionally well. Thanks for posting this.
Why this has taken 7 years to find my feed I will never understand, this is exactly the type of content I enjoy. Thank you!
Damnnnnn it was really touching.
The prospect of a pointless war being fought by machines that don’t even know the purpose of anymore. Since all their humans are long since dead is both a cool and terrifying prospect
Am I the only one who observed how insanely reliable these vehicles are? It took 20 years of punishment and neglect for the bomber to finally reach its limit. It's funny instead of the classic "machines will be the death of us" trope this instead functions on the concept that with the advent of more simple machines that perform simple tasks independently that we could be outlived by them. Provided the proper resources I bet this would go on for centuries until the machines resources were finally depleted (this is assuming there also were simple drones that would perform maintenance and repairs on the vehicles and machinery).
You can See that the Machine was in the 2. Shortage first in better condition as in the end After the Battle with the huntaircraft...
also add on before the plane was in sunlight the engines were plob not overheating but when they got into sunlight they blew up.
Показано, как природа очистилась в итоге от своей заразы-человечества. И снова начала возрождаться! Автор и вся команда-просто обалденные таланты! Ребята, сделайте еще !!!
Нету там "вся команда". Это рисовал один парень-энтузиаст, Дима Федотов. До сих пор помню его рассказы, как он аэрозоль поджигал в тёмном туалете ради съёмки пламени ). Но ролик шедевральный получился, фирмы отдыхают.

After it's all over, the survivors, people like we here deep in the mountains, will come back and rebuild. Out of the Urals and Appalachians we will come. From the Rockies and the Andes we will heal the damage and make the world once again a world worth living in.
Hey, a guy can dream, right?
@@sid2112 I hope that you and we won't need to hide deep in the mountains. :)
@@N277Sensey Me too man. But if we do, let's try to do better than the last batch.
Haunting, Beautiful and filled with sorrow. I LOVE IT!
i can not express how deep the ending is you get hit with the cool as plane fight then the sound track goes FUCKEN deep i cant express how i feel about this its so deep
I loved this. Wish you would make more of these or more like this. Reminds me of something from the game Fallout.
is very beautiful greetings from Uruguay
Por qué el link the la pagina rusa me manda a un canal uruguayo?lol internet...
Porque soy de Uruguay
William Holmes reminds me of fallout 3 and the Matrix
no this masterpiece is way more than Fallout, in the Fallout universe, humanity is crippled and ruined, in this ideal of a film, humanity is dead. It's more than Fallout how dare you
Seeing the grass growing out of that undetonated silver canister in the pavement and the music playing in the background was so eerie yet defiantly beautiful at the same time.
Every couple of years I watch this again... Still Super cool even as the animation dates it.
Such great animation! It gives me more of a Matrix type feel. Where the war against the machines has gone on and on and on. Everything has been beaten down and worn out. Love the look of this. And such a great story. Thank you for making this for us!
its more that the two sides used automated weapons of war. And the machines didnt rebel, on the contrary, they kept following their orders long after everyone was dead and the orders had no purpose anymore, up until these orders simply cannot be carried out any longer due to lack of maintenance.
All because no one was here anymore to tell the machines to stop fighting, all humans likely dying a sudden death (maybe a biological weapon) seeing as they all died on their posts, and no one was there to dispose of the bodies anymore.
Wow, stunning, emotive, disparing, but with still bit of hope. Nicely done, really conveys the futility of war just for the sake of war.
That there is some solid engineering. Redundancy redundancy redundancy. 10/10
Amazing animation, every once in awhile I come back to watch it. I wish there was more.
"Why did they die?"
"Because they waged war."
"Why did they wage war?"
"Because they had to"
"Why did they have to? "
"Because they saw no other way."
"So, if they had no another way...."
"They did....... "
They are just blinded by anger and greed, they always have a choice.
@@samuraijackson241 Lies can blind As well, unfortunately they opened their eyes too late.
this is freaky good story telling. fell right into it.
The premise is brilliant as it is bleak. The designs are gorgeous. direction is breath-taking. Haven't seen anything this good in a while.
The image sensor frantically clanking around like the last man on the titanic . Looking for a way out always hits me
Makes you think.
A masterpeace . Definitely an appropriate comment on the pointlessness of war and beautifully animated.
I never get tired of this video. I know it was made years ago, but I keep holding out hope for more
The 37 Automatic Air Army has the most badass nose art on their bombers ever.
Будет ласковый дождь, будет запах земли,
Щебет юрких стрижей от зари до зари,
И ночные рулады лягушек в прудах,
И цветение слив в белопенных садах.
Огнегрудый комочек слетит на забор,
И малиновки трель выткет звонкий узор.
И никто, и никто не вспомянет войну -
Пережито-забыто, ворошить ни к чему.
И ни птица, ни ива слезы не прольёт,
Если сгинет с Земли человеческий род.
И весна… и весна встретит новый рассвет,
Не заметив, что нас уже нет.
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pool singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
ВАС ВРАГАМИ НЕ НАЗВАЛ НЕ КТО. НО КТО К НАМ С МЕЧЁМ ОТ МЕЧА И ПОГИБНЕТ! РУРЬ СВЯТА! ЗАПОМНЕТЕ НА ВЕКА С НАМИ БОГ И ОН НАШ ОТЕЦ. А ВЫ РАБЫ ЕГО.
@@user-ek1cl6fv6h Сразу видно путинского долбо..ба. На вас кто-то нападал, идиот? Или вы сейчас напали на Киевскую Русь святую, монголо-татары?
I have never seen this. It looks badass.
Thank you very much for making this clip
Every so often i come back to watch this story. Every time the impact is the same. It never gets old
Humanity will never die, we always find a way.
*sadly yes*
StormtrooperAB172 humanity would still be alive but in bunkers or in space
The crazy part is , this isn't even Sci fi , we have the technology to do these things in 2023
Dark, depressing and beautiful at the same time. Please do more of such stuff.
That was chilling and fantastic. Well done!
Bombing plane , the design so cool
There's just something so hauntingly beautiful about an apocalyptic world without a single person in it. Imagine walking in those streets, alone, without a single sound but the wind.
....and then auked by dead guy
What an intelligent short. Players keep playing This has such a Heavy Metal aesthetic to it. So well done.
Love this short film, it's such a great idea... There's also a bit of a bittersweet irony that the plane goes down and it launches the escape pod to protect a pilot that has died over a decade ago.
I also love the hommage to Sky Crawlers at the 1min mark (I presume it's inspired by Sky Crawlers, given that it looks almost identical) and I wonder, the large computer modules at the 3min mark, are they inspired by Evangelion's "Seele" committee?
Either way, I love it! Wish there was a 90 minute version. I could see there being a plot about people hiding in the mountains for a generation cause the war is still ongoing, they head out to the headquarters/large cities for some plot-related reason and find out that the war has been running on Auto-Pilot for decades.
It is cool
