This has been on Fedotov's channel for 7(?) years now, but I keep coming back to watch it. I like that it tells a story with no fluff, but doesn't rush. It's good to see it hit a larger audience.
The last gun was shot, the last bullet fired, the last ship sunk, and the last plane dropped. There was no cheer, there were no victors, there were no people, but there was silence and there was peace.
Fantastic, I remember watching this years ago... one of the craziest things watching it again in 2024 is that this level of graphics can now be done on a mid-range smart phone.
Ive seen this animation for years and its always amazing. The use of the B29 engines and sounds harkens back to the only use of atom bombs in war and an era where 1 decision could have made this our reality. How many times have we stared nuclear war in the face? How many times has death stood there waiting for 1 person to condemn us all to die? How many times? Maybe it's better if we never know.
@BlitzFromBehind yes they are. Theres a double propeller, but the housing is a B29. The audio is more of a B17, but the visual cowling and engine design is a B29
Worse than that, as the AI says that all active personnel and combat units have been lost. In other words, the AI was making a futile effort to keep the fighters' "chambers" still energized!
5:33 for me this moment has two interpretations 1-the machine seing that there is no more way for the war to continue , considers it lost 2- because the machine is opereted via human brains they finally realize that the war was all foolery and it's over Truly pitombas moment
What I am still slightly confused about is either why everyone is dead (don't know if the people in the secondary thinking centers are still alive or not they look. Very dead) but even if they aren't why didn't they leave the facility while worn down looks mostly intact and I wouldn't think that everyone died atleast that worked in the air base they probably had years upon years of food and such for the other things like the pilots may make more sense but it seems very strange that everyone is just dead without stopping the AIs or some such
moving, bitter, yet sweet, humbling. This is a brilliant piece. The last of the war was not even over people, as they were gone. Just machines following through. I am blown away.
What does it take to get an AI to acknowledge that a war that ceased 20 years ago has finally and truly ended? The loss of any and all of its assets. Another thing I like about this animation is that it doesn't demonize regular people who are caught up in war, suffer from it. We used to blame our leaders for stupid wars, now it's common to say that all of humanity is guilty for the crimes and greed of the powerful.
All computers follow a strict sets of directive, so does ia, if the only input is "operate the base assets to conduct strike toward known enemy city" it will do so as long as it has any capability or is damaged to de point of inoperabile itself. Your computer will still be on and trying to complete a download even if you disconnect it and leave it on for 20 years(if it doesn't break before)
I feel sadder for the bomber. Sure, it’s a bunch of programs and data, but even facing its destruction it protected the pilot, never knowing that those cold hands upon its console were long since dead.
"Even when we are gone, while our machines continue their task until the moment they fail and rust by the weight of time, life will always rise again from the ashes of war, maybe the story will not remember us, but the universe will ever preserve the echo of our memory, and maybe, the next races find our ruins and ask: "Who were they?

The storytelling, the lighting the, colors are just beautiful. These kinds of animations always catch our attention, and we’ve featured stories with this level of storytelling, and it’s always exciting to see new ones like yours.

I always loved this clip growing up! My friend was the one to show me and it made me grow passion for these darker themes which are currently being displayed in the games I'm trying to make!
please help my soul and give us a mini series on the last day for war short. i have watched this more times than i can count and it still brings me joy even after 4 years
The first episode of this reminds me of a short story I once read that was written back in the 70's its really good but just as dark and sad as these both are in its own way.
yeah I wish could recall the title but I'm pretty sure I read that short story. I recall even the refueling was automated. Wait, was it called Flying Dutchman?
@@armorhide406 Yes, "Flying Dutchman" by Ward Moore, a nearly identical story of an automated bomber and base fighting on an earth long since scorched. Well worth a read if you can find it, the atmosphere is almost more surreal and bleak than here.
After watching this a couple dozen times since it was released, I finally understand it. The last humans die when the AI computer shuts down the “thinking units” in order to have enough power to open the bunker for the bomber. Twisted but delightful.
Not all of them, a portion of the remaining so that one ai may force the other to sacrifice their remaining brains in retaliation. Humanity reduced to a resource of war, how fitting.
In the aftermath of the final gun, When the last bullet had its run, The silence fell, the war was done, Underneath the setting sun. No cheers were heard, no victors stood, Only echoes in the solitude, Of a world that once was understood, Now lay in peace, as it should. The last ship sunk beneath the wave, The last plane in the sky did brave, A dance with death, a soul to save, In the silence of the grave. No people left to weep or cheer, Only silence far and near, A testament to the cost so dear, Of a peace that's bought with fear. Yet in this silence, peace was found, In every inch of hallowed ground, Where once was chaos, now no sound, Only peace, profound and sound.
Absoulutely fantastic dystopian sci-fi at it's conceptual best 🌟considering this is 7+ years old one can appreciate the amount of work it took to make this 🌟the stylisation and use of atmospherics / sound and vocal fx / music is perfectly worked to create full immersion in the story line >> perfect 👌💯👀🎥🎯😎🌠
Mans aggression and arrogance reached a level that his creations fought the last day of the war years after men had perished, how ominous but lets hope not prophetic.
@@NinjaSquid0208 probably. I found the video which looks a lot like it if not the same video. It’s the full clip, so multiple videos. I believe the second part is the one I’m referring to. th-cam.com/video/GhRapsbwhqE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=biJzJuRdyYsK_sj7
I'm just noticing this detail now after watching this several times.. in the Antlers of the deer, you can see a glimpse of the Cosmos, starlight.. did the fauna of our world hold the secret of starflight all along? Was the Spacefaring Destiny of humans abandoned and Forsaken, when we could not put aside our belligerence and bickering and instead extinguished our Spark for all time here on our home planet, until none were left and we were utterly Extinct? Such an excellent and provocative short film😮
A few years ago I saw a similar video, but of two WWII pilots who kept attacking each other until they destroyed themselves in the process. The video was noticed online by a band and they actually used it for one of their songs and I have been searching for it for a few years now. Any suggestions?
5:09 here the way those notes started reminded me of the ending of "Paths of Hate" I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I makes a sad yet meaningful poetry about how those paths ultimately led to mankind's termination.
Two very cool shorts.. I would love to see that universe some more via web series. Before, during and after the war. A bunch of little stories would do nicely.
I keeping getting the short version of the short film. The one i keep seeing has no dog fight or bimbing run. The olane just goes up, has multiple engines fail, ejects the pilot, and crashes.
The longer I live and see what's becoming of humanity, what is going on, what is prioritized by "humans" these days, the more happy I am this animation might become a reality.
Beautiful and chocking at the same time. Humanity is not far from that. Just a matter of time. Animation is so amazing, any idea what software was used ?
You think there are some human survivors? Like scavengers in the ruins, some weird tribal cultures, some strange techno cult, and a bunch of other bizarre cultures that could come about. Cause if something as large and complex as a deer is able to survive then there has to be a few human stragglers.
Reminds me of the autonomous system Russia still uses which will kick in after a nuclear strike is authorized and all contact with comand is lost to finish the job of utilizing the arsenal to its fullest and maybe prioritize targets based on incoming info.
4:42 Can someone explain pls what this thing is / wants to impose to the viewer? I know it looks familiar to a radar in an airplaine but at the same time not. lol
Everyone else: This is so tragic. Real warning to mankind. Me: If they have this level of automation, why couldn't they build a factor to spit out replacement parts with the same single-minded obsession?
Woah woah woah. So in 20 years, they suck the last power out of the people who got turned into computers to launch a broken bomber, and when that breaks it ejects a dead guy 20 years after any human had raised a finger? Yeah, if I was visiting that planet I would be very shocked indeed.

Whatever the third world war might be, the fourth one will be fought with sticks and stones.
Also a famous quote
not a draw, its a total loss

This is a great animation and it really tells a story from just actions, what a world this was and that 20 years caused this to happen.
and it pretty much explains how humanity will become one day, just a memory although probably at a worse state than that video
@BeyondDaX nah, thats just what we've been led to believe. Our future will be very different.
The folly of mindless wars told in a simple sad short.
Well done.
Just horrible to think your brain is still in use in a forever war, and then gets disconnected just like that when the AI need to reroute the power.
Worse than that, as the AI says that all active personnel and combat units have been lost. In other words, the AI was making a futile effort to keep the fighters' "chambers" still energized!
I Always understood it to be the other way around .It turned off the computers to leave the i guess people powered computers active.
Do we know if they are alive at all?
@DwAboutItManFr my money is they all died when pod 4 exploded especially how corpsy the first guy we see is
5:33 for me this moment has two interpretations
