"Tea Time" Steampunk Short Film

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 30 ก.ย. 2024
- Plot: Set in the fanatic alternate history of the 1800s, Tea Time is a comedy that follows a conflicted mad scientist. Elizabeth is in a proper and strict world where inventors are held in high regard, but only ones that fit in. Her work has been rejected (again) and she has had it. Her Aunt Judith wants nothing more than for her to give up this foolishness, marry a proper gentleman and get out of her house (taking her machines with her). This particular day Judith has a different potential suitor waiting for her. A man Elizabeth is somewhat familiar with...
Made with the help of Kickstarter, this short film was shot with $3,000 over two days with a Canon 5D Mark 3 and some very talented people.

OK, that was pretty funny. Not often you run across a comedic steampunk story, but this worked quite well. Good job.
Actually... a chicken gun is a real thing! (I was particularly bored one day, so I typed the first thing that came into my head into Google). Essentially, a chicken gun is a cannon that fires dead poultry at aeroplane windshields, in order to test them for possible airborne collisions. Evidently Elizabeth is not half as ridiculous as she seems!
I vaguely recall the Mythbusters doing something like that if I'm not mistaken
As for the actual chicken gun... This article is quite informative:

kinda wanted to see that chicken gun tho
Finally a steampunk short with really good acting! Loved it!
That could not have had a more perfect ending! Brilliant
"Trousers. . .in front of a suitor!"
That had me floored. :) Well done!
Charming, funny, well acted and well produced. Fine work all round. Capital! Bully! Bravo !
I loved her outfit and the ending was so hilarious! Great Work!
I liked it, really enjoyed it. Would like to follow the story more.
More please! Encore! Encore! Encore!!! Best piece of short steampunk I've seen in an age, and decent actors too. Bravo and Thankyou! I will be sharing your work and hoping you get to make many more. The only thing out of step even slightly is the short filming time. It shows, the fluidity of a longer filming, crew and cast interacting. Not being together long leaves a faint jerkiness of overall production, sharp edges that can only be worn in by familiarity; familiarity with script and cast interactions, and just how everything meshes together like clockwork (or so we project organisers like to hope it will!). I hope you don't mind the hopefully constructive feedback, more time needed for you main character actress especially, to get compfortable in her role, live it more than act it.
I adore the story so far and hope that there is lots more to find! All the best, Alicia Manolas.
I would love to see what kind of velocity and range you get with classic versus extra crispy chicken
I really really loved this!!! :D Already watching it fot the second time, and I have passed it on to!
+J. Derek Howard I just watched it ... i'm really hoping for a second part!
one of the best steampunk shorts i've watched so far!
High quality cinematography and performance from the actors. Must say ... just brilliant!!!
If I liked Steampunk before, gems like this makes me love it even more. Shared it.
I love it! If this short film probes something is that it doesn't need to have a complex back story, clichés nor amazing scenery to really trap you inside the world you're seeing, it has amazing acting and writing and even better, likeable and interesting characters, even with its short length you care about the people and their actions, this is what was lacking in many steampunk short films, that even though they had various episodes you really didn't catch what was going on or why you should care. This is astonishingly brilliant!! Bravo!
Awesome story. What camera was used?
Only $ 3000.00
I am impressed.
Erin - You are the best actress on planet Earth. Please return to the silver screen. It misses you terribly, with or without your gun.
That was funny as hell. And very well done. Kudos.
10 chickens a minute you say, that I must see.
Best steampunk short I've seen for a while, didn't try too hard and overdo everything.
The video personifies a great deal of what is wrong with such creations. Poor acting. Poor writing. Bad pacing. Bad cinematography. It's just... unwatchable.
I love the pythonesque aspects of the story, they really made the story into something that really satirised English manners.
Well , good luck to you, and all those involved.
Where was this short film made?
Witty, well played, with the right pace and great acting. Those trousers!
Interesting. But having the main character say "Okay" was out of place. That is an early 20th century American expression . . .
~LOVED~ THIS SHORT FILM..........
...and I didn`t even need a monocle to see with :D :D
I cannot think of a single "the ___ could have been better".
"Dear Elizabeth. Your invention is great - it's just YOU that we have a problem with. You see, you never change your clothes, and frankly, we can't stand the smell...."
High voltage poultry plasma never works egg sackly as planned.
Pretty good. Acting and delivery needs a bit more polishing. Story is good and ending is funny.
LOLS "A simple no, would have sufficed" Oh for the days of tails and surcoats! Toppers and propers, and all things Victorian Era!
Where was this filmed again?
"Trousers in front of a suitor! WE WILL NEVER GET YOU MARRIED OFF!"😆
Technically very professional. Too bad about the really corny punch-line ending.
--- Abit disappointed that she was not tending her bio-luminescent lichens instead of perusing hormones.
Jorge is an adorable bean. I wanna give home cuddles. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖💕👄👄👄
Cute story, but her fake accent is getting in the way of suspending disbelief! Why can't she be a transplanted American or something?
Steampunk AND acting!?! Genre busting!!!!
Fine lass too by golly, what!
Ha Ha!
“Trousers?!...”
Of course, I admire trousers on a lady. It goes to show their dedication to resourceful & modern practicality.
And it was a good wheeze, there at the end!
Well done!
😂👍
😂😂😂😂 my 2nd steam punk short....loved this.
I'm Christy the time traveler. From the air ship The Saint Album, and I liked this short film
Well, in the last few seconds of this film I think I saw where where the bulk of the three thousand dollars went to. Repairs, lol.
I loved it, but felt the ending was cut short. It would’ve been nice if it ended on the man asking her out on a date and her saying yes. Other than that I really did like this.
A good idea utterly spoiled by american idioms, innuendo and phrases.
Wasting time! She should have been working on something else.
What I want to know is, would that be live or dead chickens that get fired out of that gun?
Funny. And the clothing was very timely.
This is fantastic. Short stories are my favorite. I'll never understand why the form isn't more popular.
This was great. Especially the end 😂
Good stuff. She looks like a young Juliette Lewis
Of all the short films on youtube this is the only one I remember being fun
The gentleman forgot to stand when both of the women left each time.
Intéressant, merci du partage! Stéph.
Ok, that ending is perfect, loved it.
Hi Adam. Trump is so past, he's almost forgetable
Fantastic! The best steampunk movie I have ever seen! Hope, you will make more!
Oh great Miriam Schwartz is in this video also
thats slick... real chaos... fuckin love her
Jewels Bororughs...clever name. :)
And I also would like to know how many chickens it can kill in an hour.
How do you recover your investment? , or can you?
this is actually Very Cute; I am duly infatuated.
VERY well done..... I hope to see more (smile)
This was passed on to me. I simply ENJOY it. Can't wait to see more. Thank you. 😊
Good story and a great ending, well done!
Very well done. I highly enjoyed this. I hope you find a way to create a second episode.
there must be a bit of pox going around, what!
Chicken gun. A foul weapon indeed.
LoL, this was a fun watch, thanks!
I liked it .at least the end was a good place to end it
