The sad part is that somewhere inside what ever abominations we had become there was still a shred of humanity you can tell by the little girl holding her bear and how the mother was morning her death 😢
I don't think you can get much more dystopian than this.
The voice acting was amazing in this film.
Loved every bit of this - especially the attention to detail in textures and lighting. Really liked that it was from the robot's perspective and that you could almost feel him working out the truth in the end... Great job!
This means a lot! Thanks🙏
What was the truth at the end ? Humanity has turned into monsters in some biological disaster and the robots are in charge now ? But what did the robot imagine the situation was before he looked at the pictures & saw the teddy bear ?
Can we at least get a different feel for the post-apocalyptic landscape, like Adventure Time.
@@russellkbellSurely that if you see a toy bear in good condition in the epilogue, it will come cruelly to life in the omake?
@@russellkbell My supposition is that the robots are all derived from individual humans in one way or another. They either have brains in them, or they have software that is brain-shaped and remembers life before the apocalypse. The film hits a little harder if you see it as one person's realization that humanity is _dead_. There are posthuman robots and there are weird plant-demon-zombies, and both kinda ape humanity, but neither are human. In order to rebuild, the robot will be going in and killing the only other inheritor of humanity, and anything the monsters still knew of being human is going to be lost forever
elevator-pitch: "So, I'm thinking I Am Legend ... BUT with *robots*!"
With a little bit "Grave encounters 2" too.
I've had a story concept in my mind for a long time now, and this animation reminded me of it. It's a story of a robot in a somewhat distant future. A home servant robot, meant to protect and help the owner in times of need. The robot wakes up every day, does regular chores, fixes the house as much as it can and always stops by his owner's room. Every time he asks if he needs something. The only answer, however, is silence. The robot did not push any further, not daring to open the door, since his owner didn't give permission to do so. As time goes on, robot rusts and his parts become more faulty with each day. Woods rots and more weeds invade the house. Resources dwindle to fight these issues dwindle as well. Robot sends out requests, to schedule his diagnostic by a human or to buy materials online. The answer, however, is silence. Robot goes out himself, checking out nearby stores to buy what he needed. What robot does not realise is that the last active robot on the planet is himself. Robot still goes on with his chores as an error in the system is not allowing him to properly understand what's going on. For decades poor metal soul is doing everything it can to maintain life on this patch of land. For owner gone long time ago. One day he has to realise it as an alien spaceship touches down nearby to investigate a strange artificial signal which source appears to be in a human house unusually clean and maintained despite humanity's death. A short confrontation between the robot and aliens leads to the robot opening the door to his owner's room. A horrible sight which shakes robot's programming to the core. Being hit several times by alien weaponry robot got little time left, and as systems slowly shut down, the only thing he can do is embrace what is left of his owner. Final act of eternal loyalty to the human he cherished and cared about. Loyal, to the very end.
That sounds great! You should make it!
Satanists
The movement of the humanoid was so fluid, very well done
Good 'ol trusty robits. Emotion doesn't stop them from doing the needful.
I love the post apocalyptic setting. I like to see nature reclaiming the works of man. Unfortunately with the state of the world today and the direction it’s going in I find it much easier to believe in a post apocalyptic future than a bright and shiny Eden. Great job!
This is absolute art, we need more talent like this.
Fantastic short animated film. I was glued to the screen the whole time. Adding this to my Great Short Films playlist. Impressive work.
Because Utopian societies aren't interesting to watch. No conflict.
wooooow, what a Masterpiece, thank you very much for something like that...... I am not able to find the right words to express my feelings after watching it. Wish you only the best.......
Thank you so much!!! This made my day!
Great work ! Thank you for sharing. Loved the setting and tone !
Daaaaang!! This is good in so many ways! I have tried using blender, and it's freaking overwhelming with what all you can do in it!🤯 I was scared shitless! Those who made this are amazing!
Wow! Scary on so many levels! Beautifully written and executed!
Whow, in Eurem Team steckt unglaublich viel Potenzial. Hervorragende Arbeit, ich hoffe, Ihr macht etwas für Euch daraus. Habt es verdient!
The images were gruesome, but the sounds were awesome. 👍
Can a robot have PTSD?
no.
neither should they be getting scared... I didn't feel this at all
@@seawit9434 exactly. also, why does a machine need to 'look' at an instrument / sensor attached to it? you'd figure it would just usb right in there. silly all the way around. i put my red eyes on! danger! thanks mr. robot potato-head.
@@plumbthumbs9584 and he needs a flashlight. And beyond the robot the whole thing just didn't do it for me. Also said it was award winning, saw no awards but maybe I'm missing something
@@seawit9434 My man (or lady), I would say it's you and I that *have* something that the makers of this film lack. A brain.
Great professional job. This kind of film is worthy of an Oscar. My company is still just learning, I’m just starting out. But you’re just great.
we can see how powerfull this free software!! amazing work dude !!
Thanks!
As someone who tried and failed the blender donut. Bravo! 👏 I know this took some serious work and effort! Great suspense towards the end too! Hats off sir 🎩❤
This is giving me portal 2 and Wall-E vibes and i love it
love that! for sure had inspiration from Wall-E!!
I thought it was awesome! Great job to you and your team.
Thanks!!
When even a robot has PTSD
Классный фильм !!! Люблю мультфильмы такого жанра. Спасибо вам !!!
Amazing as always❤
Extremely good. No, exceptionally good. Thought provoking. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely brilliant.
What an amazing production indeed very deep on so many levels .
Excelente corto Gracias
Amazing work!🔥🔥🔥
So sophisticated work. I like it so much.
Oh my god this is just amazing! I LVOE IT
Es una anti-utopía perfecta, eso que algunos llaman "distopía". Esta cultura de anticipación que muestra este cortometraje se basa en las deformaciones del sistema informático de poder que será manejado por las élites controladoras del mundo. Pocas veces estos vídeos llegan a producir tamaña reflexión y saltos al futuro como estos excelentes cortometrajes.
Ya quisieras 😈
very interesting and well done. i hope there is more to ncome
Had me in suspense through out the whole movie not knowing where the plot would take me.
What plot? Robot looks around
Outstanding! 🫡
Masterpiece
très belle réalisation à tous points de vue. Bravo.
merci!
Excellent job ❤❤❤❤❤
That was awesome! Thanks
Atlas®by Boston Dynamics!
Just excellent.
Amazing!
I never understood why most short films tend to feel like they're a shred of an actual story. Even though there were: Exposition, Inciting Incident, Rising Action or Progressive Complications, Dilemma, Climax and Denouement... There is no background there is no connection to the characters or the setting, no answers, and certainly no twist. It's basically a draft story. And apart from that, I get that 3D modeling, texturing, lightning and animating is a real challenge but this looks like a workprint at best. I mean, it is not unwatchable but it's a level that the CGI animations were at, some thirty years ago, at least visuals-wise. And I'm not even exaggerating here. On the upside, the sound design is quite good and believable, also the mo-cap seems high end. But why pair it with graphics that look like a 2000s indie game?
Awesome job incredible in my opinion interesting story one does wonder if any humans actually survived this plague without turning like those in the film did but the robot showing more soul and more self aware was awesome ❤👍
Well done!
Holly Bat Droppings, Joker, I haven't heard a scary creaky door opening scene 2:24 since Leatherface appeared from behind the creaky door in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Lands Of Steel atmosphere building was superb, excellent reel, cheers BC-Movies.
Love it!
That was amazing...this would make a fantastic xbox game 🎮
I really liked this one.
Love, death and robots new episode available now❤
BEST !
Epic.
This is amazing. The attention to detail. The body plan is probably the most realistic i've seen. The whirring of the servos. The wordless, faceless expression. The swayind really sells just how alive it is.
Outstanding
How come this type of movie are not getting views .Awesome editing bro
Me sorprendió r on y me impacto ,,,,!,felicidades
muchas gracias!❤
astonishing
So, what part did Blender have in this? "Action/FX" is a bit vague.
멋지네요 ❤
Saw this at the Pensacon 2024 Film Festival and it was amazing
Oh yes! We weren't able to go to Pensacola this year, but we're very pleased you enjoyed our film!!
Great work
Excellent, excellent
Wow😮❤️❤️❤️
Not bad. Not bad at all!
Amazing video. I want to know more.
Really cool film
thank you!!
Hmmm. I can foresee an original script for a full length movie where AI/Robots hunt down humans to save their kind. I wish you success in all your endeavors and future pursuits in the entertainment industry. Cheers!!!
Mooie animatie's leuk gedaan 😊
Dank u wel!
Fantastic stuff as always !!!
So much work into this masterpiece, crongrats bro !! R2D2 better tho
You attribute Blender which is cool but I think much much more was used to produce this. Pretty cool > :O)
Am I the only person who is pretty sure that the robot MC has some kind of origin as a pre-apocalypse human? Their body is definitely following its own logic in terms of maintaining balance and whatnot, but the use of tools, even integrated ones, along with the special attention paid to the remnants of the family home, says "human in a steel suit" to me. Maybe it's a brain in there, maybe just software pretending to be a brain, "Rust" the robot is some kind of human. In another thread, someone asks if robots can get PTSD. I guess it depends on the robot. This one can.
I expected to see Chell running through this landscape.
Or Alyx Vance.
A robot looking at his GPS (or a radar, or a watch, or anything that is on his wrist) looks like a human visually checking if his ass is still there :p
brilliant thought last shot robots eyes should of turned red
very good
This already happened on earth millions of years ago.
❤
Robots fight zombies in the dark. Call me cruel, but I don't care. Science fiction is not a random selection of tropes set to OS synrh music. Science fiction wants us to ask questions and find a path to greater hu.anity. what we have here is a failed video game audition.
Brilliant. Thank you.
This is cute. Kids are awesome.
Suptítulos por favor.

A Sci fi Schindler’s List.

All the time there is no turning back, thats why its called time.
What a story, Mark? (C)
😎👍
Subtitles please, some of us are hearing impaired through no fault of our own.
He just needs a steam cleaning and some bigger weapons and be good as new
👏👍♥️
texturing mapping was a bit of a mess, suspense was pretty good, animation, good. story too obvious.
😮👀🤩🤩🤩👍👍👍
Silly!
Sad 😔
Испуг робота в логове? Серьёзно? Может он еще и курить начал потом?
:O Ameryka
"promo sm" 😞
A black screen? Nope
