ah hell, should we forgive the artist for being a douchebag since his work is so fantastic? fuck that im bitter and jealous.
Bitter always makes me smile. Now we just need to trash the "no budget" setup so we can see what comes out of "really" not having the gear/money/connections.
But like you said,regardless, the results are fantastic!
So here is an idea for all you people who can't be bothered to save your money and get a camera. Get on Craigslist and volunteer for some movie gigs. It won't cost you anything. You will meet people with cameras. You will learn for free how to make movies. You will even get free food. Those movie makers will likely help you as a result of you helping them. You won't have to pay for a camera.
You can get Blender for free and learn how to use it for free as well. Obviously your time is of no value if you can't trade it for enough money to get a camera so learn all this on your own as I have done. No film school. No equipment connections other than people I have done favors for that in return do me favors. I made my first short with no money, no education, and all volunteers. In fact the actors feed me and we used their house.
So why not use some of the energy your using to bitch and make something with no budget. Or you could alternatively spend a ton of money go to film school, earn $30k per year working on 150 million dollar movies that look about this good and cost $11 to watch.
Great work!!
Some answers:
The studio, camera equipment, lighting equipment all belong to an very talented photographer I work with, Richard Mountney. I approached him with the film idea, and we shot it at weekends when the studio was free. That's why it cost nothing.
Software used:
Modeling/Animation/Render: Carrara Pro
Matchmove: Syntheyes
Compositing/Motion graphics: After Effects
Edit: Final Cut Pro HD
Sound elements by Jim Pritchard
and Soundtrack.
Hope this helps.

People get too hung up on tools, and access to equipment and places, as though quality depends primarily on those things.
It doesn't. Use what you have. Ask people you know to help.
First, have a vision. That is free, it comes from your head. Then, use whatever you have readily to hand to make something. Don't worry about what tools other people are using. Just make something with what you have.
Then do it again, and again.
If you are falling short of your visions, it isn't because of the tools you have, it's because of the skills you lack. You can't buy those skills in a software package or camera. You build them by doing, and any excuse you find that stops you from doing is preventing you from gaining needed skills.
Your increasing skills will lead you naturally to better tools. Don't worry about tools. Just go and do.
Like these upstanding citizens have done. Lovely film, BC2010!
That doesn't mean you can't shape your vision to embrace your shitty technology; or even choose shitty technology to get the right look (see David Lynch and Inland Empire).
If I have a vision for a 5 minute short, shot completely at 1000 frames per second, that just ain't gonna happen. I don't own a Phantom and can't afford to rent one. This doesn't mean there aren't plenty of amazing movies that can be made with the equipment I can afford. It also doesn't mean that this guy should feel bad for having access to amazing equipment and capitalizing on that opportunity.
P.s. what is the tune you used on this making of clip?
Keep it up.

Ideas lead all the creative process, I mean you can make real your projects using your skills and your contacts if your idea have enough strongness inside your soul... (sorry for my english) if you don't have the skills in 3d modelling you can find other ways to do it, just work and work and all come over
Its a long uphill battle with mine and I am obviously loving the process but I am very interested to knowing a snippet of what your process was.
Thanks though for this.
Your passion is really inspiring. I wish I could work with you someday, even if just for fun I'd love to partecipate to such amazing projects!
amazing!!!!!!
Wish you the best of succes!!
Behind the fact that you did used professional and very expensive equipment, the creative work it´s really the the most important thing in this movie... Really, a saw a couple times, a very wrong works with Red´s and very expensives estudios!!!
Congrats, with or without professional equipment, it is a very supresing work.
i´m sory about my english.
btw. Can someone tell me the artist and track title of the "Making of" Video? This is awesome too :)
Great stuff!

By the way, if I _did_ ask about what equipment and software was used... well, it's mainly in a "there's a lot of stuff out there to choose from, but _this_ stuff helped this guy get great results, so it's capable of enabling great work" spirit.
for the people who asks about the software, it looks like 3ds max, but why do you care? maya, max, 4d, any of these softwares can be a tool for you to do better than this or worse
I know After Effects and I am just starting to create the video game I have always wanted to do!
Thank you for your excellent video and making of! Exito!
P.D: On the stage clothes ... Where I can find the cap that uses the projectionist?
Thank you so much for making this terrific piece of art and sharing it.
What I saw in "MODERN TIMES":
In your wonderful storyline, the incredible power and ingenuity of a spacecraft/hotel/station, orbiting the moon is used to entertain and delight the occupants NOT by looking at the majestic beauty of the moon itself or the billions of stars in the blackness, ...but instead telling a little joke: that space-faring humans might choose to use that awe-inspiring piece of nature (the moon) as a mere backdrop to entertain and delight themselves.
Another part of what I see in this piece of art is a cautionary tale about our own modern predicament (that was also a theme articulated in Pixar's "Wall-e", or even Plato's Allegory of the Cave):
The social critique of our culture, our species, and ourselves, that I see in your piece and in Plato and "Wall-e", ...is simply that we spend way TOO much time sitting back in our comfy chairs and staring passively at the ephemeral, luminous illusions of our culture (movies, TV, video games, laptops, iPhones, etc), of the shadow plays, dancing in front of eyes, on our airplane seat-backs, and in our modern caves deep within the McMansions which clutter up our own MODERN TIMES...
Like the 日本人 17th' cent. poet, Basho (松尾 芭蕉), said about three hundred years ago...
(...and this quote is quite apropos to your piece, I think):
指が月をさすとき、愚者は指を見る
"the finger points to the moon, the fool sees only the finger"
Image:
awakeblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/finger-moon-hotei.jpg
But most of the time, we don't see moon for itself. We see all the little distractions and fingers pointing at things. We forget to look where the finger is pointing. Which is what art, like this piece you made, does for us.
So, instead, most of the time, we only see the shadow play of light dancing on the surface of the walls, but never leave our 'caves' to experience the truth of the world around us.
I LOVE that you pull out and show the image of the moon for what it is, at the same time that the accurate sense of scale shows the truth of how tiny these little ant-like humans and massive space ship really are in comparison to the scale of nature and the universe.
In my opinion, your closing shot makes this piece, for lack of a better way to say it, well, perfect.
Well done, folks. Great art.
P.S. I love your inside joke with the Stanley Kubrick book on the making of "2001" (the space hippie is reading with an apple) -- it's a brilliant subtextual homage to Kubrick and to his influence on storytelling in film.
