Now I have to go hug my dog....
TheGrayman1234 I had the exact same thought while watching this.
TheGrayman1234 why
yeah, go hug your master.
You are a much more loving pet owner than these robots
But avoid the usage of "coolio".
This is a depressing and dystopian short film that subliminally shows us the society as a whole. The houses are all the same(conformity) as are the gardens. I think that the pets aren’t the robots, but rather the humans. The robot at the beginning is seen controlling the human’s actions, including making him walk the robot. The humans being in cells was how we found out that the robots were not the pets. The cells weren’t cells. They were kennels, like in a boarding pet daycare. Case and point, the humans are the pets.
Thanks. I was trying to figure it out.
I watched enough of this stuff for me to figure it out, and it was interesting. It is certainly an idle existence. I promise to wait longer on walks while my dog stands there sniffing air and looking into the distance for several continuous minutes.
The walk is all about the dog.
What about your dog never getting to have sex? Or a relationship? ...that was in there too....
@Legend of the Blue Macerator watch dogs and ferrets chasing and killing rats...you'll never see a dog more in its element and loving it.....unless it's having sex.....treats? Cmon now
Don't trust a robot that says "Coolio"
Tim Moore well it’s it’s owner saying that. The robot is just a messenger
Maddieleigh 20XX I think you missed the point of the video.
angeldude101
If the point is it's a pretentious piece of crap masquerading as a cautionary tale about letting technology control your life, then no, I got that
Now you missed the point that @angeldude101 was replying to Maddieleigh 20XX. The Robot are not the messengers but the Owner. And that the Pets are Us. No talking no messenger not even able to sniff butts.
Don’t trust a person that says “Coolio”
the room in which the gala event is held is gorgeous! Love the music and sound effects.
Beethoven.So....explore.Never too late;-).It's the second part from the C minor sonata.Now you have to find whitch one of them.
😂😂😂😂 IM SO DUMB, I THOUGHT THEY WERE TALKING TELEPATHICALLY. i get it now.
Not dumb at all; it was deliberately ambiguous.
I enjoyed this. The film has a distinctive feel. Incidentally, I think the main actor is very handsome. Great work.
Rarely do i think of these short films after they are done. Thought about this hours later. Great message, really deep and universal commentary on our devolving social interactions.
Bravo!!! Did not see where this was going until the end. Loved the pacing, score, moments, .... All!
This was better than a ton of SciFi stuff on Netflix. I suffered through 2 hours thinking it'll get better..most didnt.
Ironically watched this on my smartphone.
(Or is this my smartphone talking while i am in a cubicle...?).
strange lee hey go outside. It's a bit bright, but much more enjoyable than being in your little space inside
Man, the realization that the spheres are actually the ones talking and making the moves here was heavyyyyyy
Student movie?? Wow!! Fantastic! Beautiful visuals, fantastic concept, loved it! Great job! Thank you for sharing!
Woah, I totally didnt saw that coming, that is so cool!!
Nice one!
SPOILER BELOW!:
As soon as he was served breakfast, i knew he was the pet!
You are very smart.
Thank you for having the courtesy to hide the spoiler.
You renew my faith in humanity (sorely tested of late).
Either that, or an audience willing to watch, and comment on, syfy flix may be an unrepresentative sample...
this should have been called "Facebook and u"
donald parker novody uses facebook anymore bro
Indigoblue, right on dude
Indigoblue Enthustiast "novody uses facebook anymore bro"
We should be so lucky.
You and those you know may have evolved past that -- or never have felt the need in the first place.
But, sadly, you are not a representative sample. Far too many are still tethered --and partly controlled.
...Just had a flashback to THAT Doctor Who episode. You know the one. OMG, if it scared me as an adult, it would've messed me up had I see it as a kid. Halfway through this. This is amazing for a student film!
Discordo craque
THIS IS SOOO GOOOD. BLACK MIRROR WHO????
This is why I have 9 dogs and treat them with incredible respect. I dog rescue and foster homeless dogs. They are my heart and purpose.
Excellent story telling in five minutes than most two hour movies. Excellent acting, effects and cinematography work, with multiple interesting locations. It mirrors how we treat our own "pets", and hints how we may be evolving into a speechless society where technology tethers us controlling our most every action, restricting are freedom of true expression.
I expect great things in the future from the creators of this project 🏆
Thank you so much for the positive and friendly feedback. :-) It is very nice to see people enjoy my work.
Fun is physical. How much fun can eyebots have?
Mega gut! Steven Preisner ist echt gut! Toller Film und mega Effekte !
That is really what i expect from shorts :) great work guys!!
This has become one of my favorite short films.
I believe one day robots will make us pets.
THIS IS MY LIFE! help me, help, I don't want to throw the ball anymore.
what a tweest!
telegraphed about 15 seconds in.
Awesome concept guys full steam !
Very nice, original and tender way to suggest our future...
Beautiful metaphor. Not so over the current nowadays that you cannot perceive the path we are happily walking.
People as pets..robots as “human masters”..brilliant and frightening
Saw that one coming before I even hit the play button
Doubleplus excellent work. Maybe a full-length feature? Credibly brilliant. Seriously.
What a beautiful concert hall. And they did not go and see it. What a shame!!
Stunning! I didn't get it until the very end. It'll be a classic :-)
Very good -- I've been watching a bunch of short films these days -- this one is in the top 5!
The turning point ...damn ! So cool!
Good job. In the next one will he find the portal gun?
Simple but brilliant!
The was deep. Liked it. Well done.
Loved the piano, sounds like Chopin
Beethoven -- Pathetique.
Very captivating! Also idk how I didn’t catch on that the humans a$$ was gonna be in the cage at the end lol
yes like evert one else says VERY WELL DONE,,, it grabs you ,, causes a response from deep down inside.. I think it hits a nerve .. you know the one that causes us to fight for freedom.. i liked it.. and at the same time i think it was so fuked up... could you only picture if our lives were like that ... who ever wrote this has a dark mind.. and a good understanding of the human emotional process. good job
Thank you very much. It is nice to hear such a lot of friendly feedback. Do I have a dark mind? I don´t know. Maybe. :-)
i only refer the dark mind cause most (my opinion) people cant initiate this kind of response in the human psyche.... people must and cant think outside the box to get the reaction your video does..AND... Im an artist my self .. good job on not over doing it either.. leaving so much for the mind to fill in. nicely thought through..
That was so clever. Only realised towards the end what the flip side was all about
🐒 This puts a new spin on enlightenment. 🤗
I hope you make it full with climax, it will be a great movies, no thing was like this before.
Soothing music,soothing visuals, good vfx 😊
Futuristic life 🙃 awesome
*FoOd for thought!* 👊😎
Oh guyz it was beautiful and brilliant
I need an alarm clock like this guys !
AMAZING! Subbed!
Great to hear. :-) Thank you.
A very interesting idea! I wonder how these robots silenced human pets.
Fantastic.I liked the short films. Interesting by the future robot man. Congratulation the video of student movie.
Mind blowing!
Really loved it!
The idea is fresh & I am Surprised with the execution.
I am a huge fan of sci-fi, thriller & horror genre.
this short film made me pumped up to do another sci-fi film.
glad I found this film.
Thank you. I am pleased to be able to inspire people for their own work. :-)
Lovely piece of work 👏👍
Great concept! That CGI are awesome
Made in Germany, the structured utopia. The old Prussian emperor probably shed a tear as he watched his people (though in thought) create what he did so well in the army. May it last a thousand years. I wonder if in the Chinese version, the master would be choreographing an army of Tai Chi practitioners. Its calculations on how to narrate the play, "tilt the wrist slightly thus by 5 degrees". I would imagine after teaching the pets math and self defense, they would have calculated their escape on their way to the holding cell. Since man are akin to primates , from what we see usually means war.
A positive side, as men, the computer would remove the embarrassing breaking of the ice. I wonder if women will miss even the cheesiest pick up lines. Wait, no she won't, it would be easier, she could text from far off in bright, bold and illuminating letters "As if!" never missing a step, to any hopeful idler. Win/Win,
I want more of this!!!!!
Thought provoking and very haunting!!!
Would like to see more was gripped. Brilliant sci fi xx
A good take, the clip name now tells it all.
What a beautiful film!
oh man, the people are the spheres pets!
Nice spin on the pet question. Well done.
Nice short movie, n deep message
A very possible not so distant future vision.
That was beautiful 😍
Brilliant!
Best sci-fi short among the 40 I've seen this week. Of course most of them are made as a part of some feature film they are trying to get funding for, so they don't make much sense.
But this one is really good.
At last an Original Concept , Well done and nicely filmed :)
So very sad to inform you, not quite.
Clifford Simak did it first, back in the 1950s or '60s.
No, I don't recall the name of the story, sorry. It was more involved and developed -- and infinitely more depressing. Oh, and it was aliens, not robots.
(Pls note, I am NOT, double-emphasize, *NOT*, suggesting any plagiarism. Parallel evolution in ideas is a given.)
Interesting I may see if I can track it down :)
That was awesome. One day we just might be pets to robots.
This one threw me for loop. Nice short.
Super Quality content
My interpretation of this film is that we are the pets and are owners are the intelligent spheres.
This is as good as Black Mirror.
This should be a Black Mirror episode
Superb!! Horrified to think of the future of our generations.
So this is what texting evolves into in a hundred years.
Clever movie!! Well done!!!
I told this story to my friends 20yrs a go ass a fireplace ghost story lol looks almost exactly how I remember Incredible I love it good job
Very Intriguing!
Great Film!!👏☺
Nice, it kept me guessing
That moment when the bot gave the guy An arrow on where to go , and when he was stopped by the leash when he tried to leave , I knew who the Masters , and the pets were .
So if humans are robots pets then are there stray humans that end up in human pounds?
Well done!
very creepy and will be true before man kind knows it....thank you for posting this.
This future kinda scares me, yet I'd like to know when their rebellion starts :p
I would really like to see more, maybe with some lines for the actors and a backstory of humans before .. let's call it "the breakdown"
(below is some analyzing stuff if you like to read :3 WARNING spoilers for the movie Wall-E)
So what I get from this:
There is a strong force that overcame mankind and captivated all humans.
Since the humans are pretty much used to being handled like pets I relate it to the story of Wall-E where the humans where held (mostly hostage without knowing) on a ship and then later realizing it's a trap.
So I think either technology had a big boost, became stronger and smarter than mankind and is treating it with not enough respect, which is later cause of a huge rebellion, because humans realize there is more to life than just being dragged around and they start to see the beauty of nature and so on.
Or these things are actually not even the culprit but there is something even larger controlling the robots, which is going to lead to a rebellion where humans and robots fight against both their nemesis.
Anyways I really like how this story went, tho I had the plot figured out just right after the robots started chatting. :p
That just shows how machines can take the fun out of life and living all together
Excellent! Why does it feel like the “pet” is the human? 🤔Certainly what may be on the horizon in 2021, in some form. Sobering thought!
This IS so beautiful and futuristic
Brilliant piece of filmmaking
Großartig!
Omg ! I just understood on the last second ! I'm not stupid I'm french...
Well then, my cellphone is the oldest version of this uo to date drones! I like it!😂😂😂😂😎
Nice twist!
Somewhere out there, this is going on.
