at the end, it felt like a short Asimov story.
Constant van Hoeven 2 years ago

That is the biggest compliment any sci fi film maker could get...
Michael O'Rourke 2 years ago

Very compelling. Why did you start with kid picking his nose? It's not funny, sets the wrong tone. The FX are superb. How much of the set was actually built? Noticed long list of set builders. Integration of CGI and hand built excellent. Rethink your open shot of the kid. Otherwise this is 4 stars.
Constant van Hoeven 2 years ago

It's not supposed to be funny. It makes him human.
There is no way I'm going back to editing anyway. I did this film 2 years ago. Thanks though.
Luke Perkin 2 years ago

I think the nose picking works alongside with him messing with the cup. Lovely short, very welll made. Good job.
Jamie Ibbett 2 years ago

I watched it start to finish. The technical side of things are great, nice close up rendering shots. I liked the cup scene, I liked the fear aspect, I liked the depiction of the soul. A statement on life, nice job.

I dont really get the story. Can the OP explain it to me?
SimpleTwist 2 years ago

Watch it again and you get what's happening.
SPOILER
Human souls are being harvested and put in robots to extend our lives - our dear friend who watches monitors is the last soul around and is harvested because his job is complete.

Nice shoking scene with the robot arm! Very good supported via the music and sfx. I really enjoyed the film :)
David Hackl 2 years ago

Constant, this is a brilliant film. Well crafted and well written. Now I want to see the feature.
Constant van Hoeven 2 years ago

Me too :) I wish a big hot shot Hollywood studio producer would give me the money for it.....;)
wreinhard 2 years ago

Awesome work. Makes me feel inspired to work on my own idea for a film, if only I had your talent.

Also, the short he was watching on the screen when he was messing around. I know I saw it at some point, were you involved with that one as well?
Constant van Hoeven 2 years ago

No. this was a thesis project of somebody who graduated the year before we did. We needed something that we could get the rights to. So we got this film to show on the screen.
Troy 2 years ago

That was very very good. Left wanting more for sure. How many man/woman life hours did that take to make do you think?
Constant van Hoeven 2 years ago

Twenty or even more set builders. Twenty people on set for four days. Then 5 guys working six days a week, ten hours a day, for half a year on the CGI. Plus two dozen computers.
Troy 2 years ago

Someone has deep pockets. Thank you for your very informative answer. . . . just saw your $7k budget reply below . . . change that to; you must have very good contacts as well as a network of very enthusiastic friends . . .

Great Sci Fi short. Well done, great graphics and script.
bob lorrimer 2 years ago

Extraordinary and powerful and almost hypnotic film.

Well done; is not enough!
Michael Brown 2 years ago

Like my friend Bob here, I am very very impressed. Of course you want to know stuff like how was the budget, right? and I am just as impressed with the real 'directing' and story-telling aspects as with the FX. My compliments, Constant!
Constant van Hoeven 2 years ago

$7000 budget....
Michael Brown 2 years ago

I'm not even going to ask how you did THAT! That's what I call good friends and true faith, man!
Ben Grundy 2 years ago

Excellent - I really liked the whole concept.
Sanjesh Sharma 2 years ago

Great sound to match excellent CGI and a simple script. This is an awesome achievement in many ways.

I would love to see this as a full length movie, it seems like a really interesting concept.

I saw your video a long time ago and just this last weekend I watched Skyline, and had to say I think they stole your idea.

2003-2007. Just a rookie. Henk was the one who greenlit my project in 2007. You live in NYC? I'm close by. Upstate NY.

Yes i am mainly in Manhattan but still in Los Angeles if I have to. Where Up State? When you come to town let's have a Pilsje ;)

Gaat goed. met jou ook? Ben je lekker bezig?

There's a lot to like about this. I think it the runtime could be cut in half, though.
jithu aravamudhan 2 weeks ago

I really like it. Amazing production values. The visual and sound effects are great. I don't think its long. I think it needed that time for us to get to know about the environment and the character. BTW what was your audition process for such a silent role? I really dig it.
Constant van Hoeven 2 weeks ago

Theatre actors. They are used to working in invisible 'worlds'
