I think this is great, but explain how this is no-budget? there was clearly a lot of money spent on this thing.
"Donations"
"Benefit in kind"
Many ways.
If this doesn't do a District 9 and get remade full-length, the world is wrong.
Love'd this updating of the RoboCop idea.
Speaking of District nine: That Robot reminds me an awful lot of the aliens from D9.
My thoughts exactly!
I'd much rather watch this than most of the big budget films being released.
It's not no budget, just no backing. Self funded is very different from no budget, especially when you're a VFX studio to start with. Still cool though.
How I wish that Syfy, rather than making more Mega-Croco-Shark-asaurus movies, would look at YouTube for brilliant pieces like this and fund them.
I wish it had been just a tad longer.
…like about 113 minutes longer!
Knowing this is a no budget film makes district 9 and skyline look,,,,, well to be perfectly honest like a child had written and directed them, get Archetype out there.
This is stolen, it was from this: http://www.archetype-movie.com/
Stolen? Not really… If you check the source of the youtube video on the site, it is the same one that is embedded in this post. So no, not stolen at all.
Someone here must work for the MPAA, if you think that linking ot something is stealing it. Especially with full credit to the content creator…
Ok that was pretty sweet i would totally watch more of that!
No budget doesn't mean that no money was spent -Aaron Sims has the resources. http://www.aaron-sims.com/ And probably the reputation to get the feature film made, if there is interest. A short like this is the perfect way to get the interest built. And thetiltedshelf, that's why it was posted on YouTube -to get seen by as many people as possible. I would LOVE to see the whole story!
Wow! That was awesome! They need to make it into a full-length movie, as quick as possible! When it went to credits, I was sure I hit something I wasn't supposed to, cause I wanted to see more story! Fantastic job!
AWESOME. I would totally love to see this developed.
Please let them make this movie!
Ahh, this brings back memories of the Outer Limits series….good stuff. Make more! :)
it was good but why were the robots fighting a bunch of dweebs? Hardly need robots to shoot college kids. Seems like a waste of company R&D!
All in all blew me away, really good.
I feel that the animators should be getting a little more credit than currently shown. They are the stars of this show!
