Highly Impressive for no budget!

good work...
Your effects work is stellar for having no budget. I'm assuming just simply green screening for things like the hallway shots?
It makes me wonder why I waste so much time making other people's ideas (for money) instead of my own.
Goddammed... you're so fuckin awesome
its like Wall-E into the real life
jajaja
fuckin incredible bro
im amazed...
im your fan for now on!
great short by the way
But still, no matter how good your equipment is, you are always limited by yourself. On the other hand, this wasn't made with Bryce.
Artists do love their mysteries though, it's only been within the last decade that we discovered how Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa. :)
You must be ably to sell this to JVC or Sony etc anyone who does high end projection. This suits high end visuals!
Just one thing that I see that deeply bothers me is the line saying: Made with no money, lil time and a lot of passion.
I see the passion. But you should understand that it cost money and a lot of time. And that this in fact is a not a bad thing. This was planed, had to be shot, by a team lighting, actors, putting up green scree. Processing footage, keying and rotoing it. Planing 3d design, building models. Tracking camera. Surfacing and shading models, building interface graphics. Lighting and rendering. Compositing and editing. Scoring and sound design.
Now please stop playing this shit load of work down. It don't make you look good, it just makes you sound ridicules and it hurts visual fx artist. You will find out how bad it is when you are looking for a job in visual fx, and people say: Hay you say you did it in lil time and with no money!
Nonetheless, excellent work. ///
They aren't saying you can buy this kind of skill for nothing, they are saying if you have this kind of skill you don't need expensive tools to achieve this quality.
It's an important distinction.
Second, you MUST pay for software.
Third, you MUST pay for shooting stage/green screen.
So if, for example, some MEGASKILLED guy would want to create something like that not having all I just listed, it would be impossible for him. So I agree with G-THREE completely.
They borrowed cameras and equipment.
Some software they probably bought, but it is not unduly expensive software, and was probably not purchased specifically for this shoot, so was probably a case of just using what they already owned or could borrow from friends - a very good idea.
The shooting stage/green screen were borrowed from an associate. It is not hard to find a shooting space for free. It is just space. Surely anyone knows someone with a garage. A greenscreen is just a big flat or cloth. You can make your own greenscreen with cardboard and paint.
So, if some MODERATELY SKILLED guy would want to create something like that, he could quite reasonably borrow what he needed and use what he had. So you are mistaken.
G-THREE's earlier point is more accurate. It is skill, not physical tools, that is important here. Every excuse you allow to stop you from doing this ("I don't have the tools", "I don't have money", "I don't have a space") is just preventing you from obtaining the requisite skills.
Use what you have. Talk to your friends. Find free places. Borrow tools from people you know.
That's all they did. You can do it too. No money down.
If I weren't to mention cost I'm sure there would of been a ton of questions asking how much it did cost, and I'd have to tell you anyway.
What I'm trying to say is just do it.
Or try to do it, at the very least.

Thanks for sharing
Thanks

Makes it all worthwhile. I'd love to answer all your questions, there's a making of video uploaded that may answer some of them.
All the software used was entry level and non expensive. (I'm not a CG artist by trade, but needs must when you don't have ILM on call). All the cast and crew were friends/colleagues. No actors (They did a great job considering: " Your onboard a space station, watching a Chaplin film being projected onto the surface of the moon....and...Action!)
All in all the idea was king. Everything we did worked toward that, by any means necessary.
Thanks again

Ps. See how many easter eggs you can spot.
The winner gets a Mars Bar.
Just goes to show you DONT need a big budget.
