      @@ian-c.01 Thank you very much! One little tip for fully CG cameras is to have the pivot point roughly 40 centimetres behind the default location of a camera pivot point, which is typically at the lens. This mimics the natural way that a human would hold the camera by always having a little parallax in every camera pan and tilt.

    It truly boggles the mind that we do not have more films that adopt steampunk/dieselpunk/whateverpunk aesthetics when there's clearly been a demand for it. This short film scratches an itch that Hollywood hasn't given us since Treasure Planet.

    I definitely love this. I have soft spot for steampunk and in this case it is not a typical one - no rainy/foggy city full of smoke and machinery but beautiful landscape and flying pirate ship. I really appreciate the visual processing - metal surfaces, smoke, effects but also the characters - no talking needed, as just facial expressions, gestures and sounds are enough. And there is certainly nothing easy to make a metal robot with no real face - a "warrior" to act and look also friendly and understanding. Many thanks also for the happy end - at one time it seemed to me that the happy ending was by many authors to be "out" because it is only good for fairy tales for kids... Luckily not all the people agree with it and I am glad I could enjoy this great short story.

    Maybe it’s my ability to anthropomorphize anything, but it seem to me that the sense of urgency, anxiety, and other very human qualities were transposed through the somatic gesturing and overall movements of the robot. What a beautiful piece of art. Thank you for taking the time to deliver this to us. Bravo!

    • @rannnoch
      @rannnoch 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Your ability to anthropomorphise doesn't need to be that good when the robots are humanoid and even have facial features... I don't disagree but our main character(or characters if when they split they act and think seperately which is an interesting concept) is very human looking even when in 2 parts

      So....the existence of this piece of art alone clearly disproves your premise. Maybe look around and realize that there are equally amazing and thrilling pieces of art in other genres as well. Your loss of faith in humanity is not new, it's quite derivative, and at this point in history, very boring. So, stop showing your lack of input, intelligence, and knowledge, and spend more time with your fellow humans. Or simply do a TH-cam search for "cool scifi cgi indy stuff".

Such films (read: Three Musketeers 2011) turn me off. However, that feeling was gone in seconds. This is amazing. The detail. The action. One of the most visually satisfying stories I've seen on Dust. And the relationship between the android and the prisoner didn't hurt.

    I'm such a sucker for steampunk aesthetics and I really fell in love the design of Grunt. So much character and such a devoted family member acting as Nessa's surrogate father/mother figure. I suppose that was part of the design concept, especially when it's shown that Grunt is actually two units merged into one with their own unique complementary purpose. And letting the visuals tell the story was an interesting storytelling choice that paid off as by the end you'll care about the strong bond between Nessa and Grunt.

    Such fun creatures and graphics. The creaking of rigging? Great!
    Love that dirty funky exhaust, and the mix of high and low tech

    This is extremely well-animated and the fight choreography is excellent. My single criticism is a lack of context for why Corliss has kidnapped Nessa. Seems there's quite a tale there and it feels incomplete without understanding Corliss' motives beyond "Yar! I'm an evil pirate!"

      Your comment is valid, as this is essentially a slice of a feature treatment that it is a part of. I hope that the short can kick more development into gear. Thanks for watching my film!

      It's obvious to me that Cyan is a battery of special power, power that when harnessed made the Pirate hard to content with. And, I might add, was enough for her to risk losing her ship, her weapons, and ultimately, her life.

      @@athenaarwood3957 That's what I got too, the energy source being the plot-driving thing here, and I'm perusing the comments to see if I was right.

    I can't help but wonder if this was inspired in part by Final Fantasy, a few very familiar design elements like the airship and the gorgeous landscape. That last shot of the sky was utterly breathtaking!! A true masterpiece! 1000 thumbs up 👍

    Impressive! Beautiful art design, amazing lighting effects on all that shiny metal. The choreography was just a bit too chaotic -- I had some trouble keeping track of where everyone was during the fight. I agree with that other commenter about the opening shots -- you could sell posters of that ship in flight against the sunset.

    Thank you for providing a very satisfying ending. There's nothing more frustrating than becoming absorbed in a short that took an enormous amount of work to create and ending either on a cliff hanger or the demise of the main character. I loved everything about this. It was easy to watch, understand and enjoy.
