Fantastic! Awsome job!

Ummm, er... whoah. Nice work.

beautiful work

Freaky!

Good grief wow

felt too close to baginski's cathedral.

Very good job

Tyson first of all congratulations, this is really a great little short film. There is a lot of energy and life in the film that gives an organic, fluid feel to the action.

The shots, the pacing, your simple but effective use of light and space, even your solid understanding of storytelling through minimal means, all served to draw me in instantly and kept my attention throughout.

I wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed watching it and how I couldnt believe the previous comment about how this was similar to baginski's cathedral.

While there are some aesthetic similarities ( a man walks alone in a dark space holding a single light source ) the mood, the pacing, the themes, couldnt be more different.

By the time THIS film has finished its story, baginski's cathedral switches gears and the similarities end completely.

Personally I feel that your film is actually more effective in its narrative flow and ability to draw the audience in.

To diminish someone's obvious hard work, skill and artistry into a single negative comment I feel is really unfair and way off the mark. I still cant believe that you did this in only 3 months and all by yourself!

Anyway I've gone on this tirade long enough, keep doing what your doing man, your great at it!

This looked like an intro to a good PC game. It's really awesome, good job on your modeling. 11/10!

Wooo!... TYSON!, this is AWESOME work! Tell me, what animation software did you use to make this video and how long did it take you? I've used POSER but I wise I could do work like that.

Tyson,you did it again.Great movie.The lights,render and the mood, reminds me of Baginski's cathedral.Perhaps the torch stich..:D

Thanks guys! Ironically, I had no intention to mimic any part of "The Cathedral", although it's an interesting insight from those who noticed the similarities (guy holding torch visits strange place and transforms into the type of entity already stationed there). Thinking about it now, they are quite similar in theme! But that's purely coincidental.

Yowsers man..how long did that take you? oh and in your opinion whats a good way to learn and advance in 3d/CG? and websites, tutorials etc?

Oh WOW!

Wow, lovely!

I'm featuring it today at illusion.scene360.com.

Awsome job Tyson, i have to thank you for your tutorials, i started studing 3ds max just a year ego and they have help me a lot.

very good work and story. Great renders without a story are like macarroni without tomato, onion, salt...

Guauuuuuu!!!! Fantastic work!!!!! Congratulations!!!

Wow thats nice. Awesome modeling. How long did you take for this animation and rendering?

Very Nice! Congratulations!

Fascinating!

master

excellent excellent excellent for a one man show. u have a great career ahead of you.

that was completely badass.

one of the things that immediately stood out to me was the motion of the animation. it's sharp and jerky in a great way. It unsettles you immediately.

very well done sir.

wow that was brilliant

Really Nice, well done!

Brilliant work!!!

Amazing work. Love it.

Wonderful story! Our mortality is what makes life beautiful!

Loved it!

wow, that was amazing. I absolutely loved it.

excellent !!!

OMFG! didn't see that ending coming! simply fantastic! I hope you win many awards for this!!!

So well directed! Really sweet.

holy shit! only 3 months! That's some crazy skill you got there.

Damn dude, that was amazing.

Colorgasmic!

Sweet Jesus I need a shorts change.

very cool!

Awesome is not enough!

Astounding! A cinematic tour de force.

this is amazing Tyson...

The camera work is stunning... I'd be tempted to think that you shot this live, tracked the cameras and imported the data into 3d space- the movement is naturalistic and fluid.

Really great work.

Seriously?! This is incredible! Thanks for the hard work!

this is, simply, amazing.

That was just so excellent. I loved it. Have you been made any offers yet? Or are you already working professionally? Pixar or someone will be headhunting you I think, if somebody hasnt already offered you some kind of contract. That was just so awesome.

absolutely amazing!! what software did you use to make this?

Thanks for the comments everyone!

thx for the reply and again, great job!! Your video was the type that you couldn't just turn it off or pause it :)

This would fit really well at the H. P. Film Festival! You should totally submit, I think they'd love it. hplfilmfestival.com/submissions

excellent work.

Nice work, the music worked great to keep up the tension. And great choice of story, I've always found that one fascinating.

My goodness this is nothing short of amazing. Good job!

Everything Adam Palmer said! :-)

Seriously though. Fantastic!

Astounding! the light, the textures...you feel inside the cavern!

Holy crap, Tyson! This is staggering. Just– staggering.

Amazing job!!

Wow! This is amazing! You definitely have a gift.

And you work for MAKE so that is huge kudos.

Amazing

As above....

Stunned

Wow man, that was amazing. So the robot was kinda trying to save him.

neat. very neat...

So good!

Absolutely gorgeous work! Other than the similarity of a guy + torch.. I don't see this at all like the Cathedral. Maybe Indiana Jones tho =P People should stop criticizing, and start embracing instead. Rock on- this is short film excellence!

SPECTACULAR! 5*
I love how it was animated, it was smooth animation and story wise, with a lot of attention to detail.

absolutely great!

This is amazing.<3
Good work.
(I'm such a sucker for steampunk. 8D)

Absolutely fantastic. The nuanced performance of the characters (all of them, even down to the spider!) is a joy to watch.

Great work as always

oh! fantastic.

Unfrigginbelievable...if that's a word. This work is awesome. Love the mood, love the feel of the whole thing. You had my attention from start to finish. The graphics are stellar.....LOOOOOOVVVVED IT! I too did not see the end coming...took me by total surprise. GREAT GREAT WORK ... Tyson! Want more...please feed my imagination!

You sir, are an incredibly talented and brilliant artist. I have nothing but envy for your work.

Be happy, you've got a bright career ahead of you. :-)

Great animation, great story! The suspense was well played. I was right on the edge of my seat.

Can't wait to see what you do next, Tyson.

It's just incredible!

took my breath away. I made all my friends watch it too. amazing work.

That so rules its undisputable !

That was insane. So good.

Wooohoooow.

Awesome job!

Extremely cool, I loved the soundtrack and sound design!

Great work! :)

Awesome.
Really great work.
I'll follow you(r videos) :)

amazing professional work!

I am truly impressed! Very fine work. I guess the intent is dramatic and emotional, but I suspect that there is enigmatic intention as well. This is a piece that speaks to the unconscious mind!

Great work, man! I´m an admirer of your work for some time.

And congrats for the CGTalk Award - well deserved.
