- This film was shot in a garage under modest conditions. We used old school visual effects like miniatures and matte paintings to create the vast futuristic landscape. If you are interested to see how we did it, here's the complete playlist: • SLICE OF LIFE: Product...

Someone *really* likes Bladerunner and grime.
Yo Lindybeige! You bet we do! Is there anyone out there who DOESN'T like Bladerunner and grime???😂😉❤
And T2… and BTTF… and Dredd… and THX1138… probably a lot more nods I missed. just wow!
@@Mangolorian-je3eoa bit of STRANGE DAYS and CARLITOS WAY for the ending. Awesome film! Hopefully we'll get to see our guy try again next year...
Do you mean Cyberpunk?
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyberpunk
its called cyberpunk mah boy
This movie had limited budged but looks like multi million dollar film. Outstanding.
Thanks a lot! 😉
@@sliceoflifefilmThe atmosphere is terrifying! I'm sure I've seen 30 films trying to do what you have here. That it is a short is some kind of false modesty. I feel cheated!
True yain Lyin’
A Blade Runner world
So can most films with low lighting, 'rain' and extreme close ups and dutch angles.
Literally not a single character spoke a line, other than the adds and yet you understood their problems, goals and motivations. Gj guys this was cool
Thanks a lot! Glad you like it!
The mood, the music, the low tech props the world building and the ads, the crt screens everything is a chef's kiss, this is what raw cyberpunk should look like.
Thanks for the kind words! ❤
You mean cyberpunk should look like blade runner?
You obviously haven’t seen Blade Runner
@@rizzlervontrappe1515 I watched blade runner when it was still on VHS, not sure what does that has to do with my comment tho !
Why this hasn't accumulated millions of views is a crime. This is by far one of the best scifi shorts I've ever seen. Love the Blade Runner vibes.
It will by 2089! 😂❤
SHare it with your entire neighbourhood and relatives!
This was hands down the best short film I have ever watched, especially considering the limited budget and locations. I think this also goes to prove that miniatures still do have a place in modern filmmaking because visually this looked better than most modern sci-fi movies. I'm genuinely amazed!
Thank you very much for the lovely comment! ❤❤
plus there is a pacing with miniature that gives you time to enjoy imagining what living in such a world would be and feel like. and don't get me started with the opening scene, silent dialogue which is interrupted by the first voice we hear ironic, perfectly timed and the cut scene gives us the wide angle close up on the car with the city backdrop. I was sold on the spot. p.s would like to hear about how you did the green text reflection on the actor's face what a detail!
@@mcorpgroupofcompanies5461it's projection. They told about this in one of the videos on the channel. Watch them
Have you never seen Blade Runner??? 4:47
Very well made but not very original. Steals too much from the original Blade Runner
I really wish they would just make a feature length film. This is what cyberpunk is supposed to look like.
as if it didn't take all they had just to make this short!
@@DarionDAnjou point being?
@@adamwee382 it sounds like you're saying to the filmmakers "just make a feature film" when i'm pretty sure like myself and like so many other filmmakers pulling these projects together on hope and a shoestring they would freaking LOVE to make a feature film. Typically though filmmakers don't have the funds or access to investors willing to invest in the feature length project even when the quality of the work and the storytelling is phenomenal like this one is. Alas is the current plight of the severely gatekept movie ndustry
@@DarionDAnjou dude stfu, the people running the channel even liked the comment.
@@DarionDAnjou when you make the second it is less than half as easy to do as the first, it's like making a mould for a toy, the second run is cheaper and easier and faster..
That could easily be officially part of the bladerunner/electric sheep universe. Great fight at the end!
Thanks a lot!!!
Ridley Scott would be proud. Absolutely top class artistry
Much appreciated!
Assuming he doesn't sue, first.
It's a homage, so id doubt it. Plus Scott would (i think) appreciate the artistic skill here. @@ThatOpalGuy
This could be the most visually fantastic fanfilm I've ever seen.
Thank you for your kind words good sir! ;)
What the hell did I just watch!? How is this an indie film? That was beautiful. I can't nitpick anything. I think it might have been flawless. Very very well done everybody. Every part of it was top class. Thank you all of you. ❤✊
Wow, thank you! ❤😊
@@sliceoflifefilm You're very welcome. May I ask, is it fully industry pros that worked on it? I saw there's a Making Of video too but I haven't watched it yet. I might not, and keep the illusion clean for myself 😅
@@ElJohnerinoOh, not only we're not industry people but when we shot this we were a bunch of indie amateurs who didn't know what they were doing half of the time. Do watch the making of, you'll get a good laugh out of it 🤣
Why am I only seeing this now? This is an absolute masterpiece!!!
Thanks a lot! Tell everyone about it!!! 🤣❤
This surpasses most of the big ticket Hollywood sci-fi spectacles of the past 15 years. Astounding!
Thanks a lot!!! ;)
Loved the shout out to THX-1138 at the beginning on the car’s computer screen. Well done!
We never miss an opportunity for an easter egg. 😉
@@sliceoflifefilm
Not a WORD spoken. ✅🎸💲
@sliceoflifefilm I was wondering if "Atari" (on the ventilator shaft) was product placement or just for mood. Same for that Casio calculator watch...
I need a whole series of that.
Wow, it´s piece of art and it´s pity it has only 30 000 views. Thank you guys!
Thank you too!
Possibly the best short film I’ve ever seen. Honestly even outside of the realm of short film it holds its own damn well.
You have a crazy talent for building tension throughout scenes. Had me on the edge of my seat multiple times. The movie felt like 10 minutes instead of 25.
Thanks a lot for the compliments!!! ♥️♥️
I had to check the time again after reading your comment. Didn't realize I sat for 25 minutes. Felt shorter. Great job on the short
this film was so so good you can see what the main person did wont's and is going to do, with him never saying a single word. I forgot I was watching a short film this film is truly masterful.
Thanks a lot!
Can't say enough positive things about this incredible masterpiece
Haha, so you actually did watch it again! 😂 thanks man!
I’ve been following this project since the beginning! I’m glad to see this is back up on the platform as it’s one of my favorite short films ever!
Some of the highest production value i've ever seen in a short. A lot of love went into make this world feel real and it shows, good job.
I found you yesterday thanks to your latest video "How to Film Realistic Looking Miniatures" and were like "Wow, these guys are really great, wonder what other short films theyve made". Did NOT expect to find a film being on par with the original bladerunner. Absolutely breathtaking!
Happy to hear that! Thanks for watching!
I've said this before but I'll gladly say it again. You all did such an incredible job with this, the environments look amazing, the story while simple is very engaging, and it has such an excellent depressing mood thats fitting of the cyberpunk genre
Incredible. Especially if you've seen how it was made! No money, all love...
Why does Blade Runner stands the test of time and never aged? Because it's all practical. As for CGI if used with parsimony to amplify a little bit good practical effects it will also stand the test of time. And "Slice of Life" will go down in time the same way, in 25 years it will still look amazing today as it did when first released. As for this short film, it's a masterpiece on every level, and as a big fan of the Cyberpunk Aesthetic you captured that world, that city and the mood like bosses. Well done.
Thank youuuu!
I want a bluray of that short film, also thank you for real a 21x9 video
Wow that’s probably one of the best short films I’ve seen on youtube, how does this not have over 10 million views?
This tells you the problem with mainstream movies: studios are too rich. Lack of resources forces film makers to be creative. Like this masterpiece. Best realization of cyberpunk I’ve ever seen.❤️
The creators of this should write a Blade Runner screenplay for a television series. This is fantastic!!!!
Yeah, even if it was just anthology-style with one-off episodes (like twilight zone or black mirror)
Masterfully produced, wow! It sure would fit right into the Blade Runner "universe."
Do another! Our Hero buys his ticket but has to evade detection and capture for a year after killing a cop...
Could you imagine what could be done if this studio and Kane pixels teamed up to make a full length movie ahhh the possibilities
This short film is an incredible expansion of the Blade Runner universe, without falling into repetition, showing something new. Just great.
Thank you! 😊
Excellent film! ❤❤❤
God this short is an endless source of inspirstion, watching it makes me want to create and make art. So glad to see it back up on this channel, easily the best sci fi short on the platform
Thank you Emery! Hope you're working on some new stuff too! ;)
Holy shit that's fire !
Everything's so real, so authenthic, so... Cyberpunk.
No one say anything, but the potential that could come of it is so fantastic that It could actually be a real series !
Big claps to the team who made it, and have my cheers !
Thaaaaanks!
The lighting, effects, storytelling, acting, and cinematography are all top notch. Color me impressed! Ridley Scott impersonation, perhaps, but this is the sincerest form of flattery.
The police character reveal was EPIC 😂🔥 loved every second of this, hands down the best short film I’ve ever watched
Superthanks!
This is one of the best fan films I have ever seen! Being a HUGE Blade Runner fan myself I very much enjoy the aesthetic and vibe this gives off. I love this so much I can't express how much I do! Spectacular work to everyone who worked on this p[roject. Again, AMAZING WORK, IT IS BEAUTIFUL . The effects were awesome and it is just a feast for the eyes. I can't sing my praises enough. Bravo!
Wow, thanks for the kind words!
Check out our making of videos if you haven't. You'll be surprised to see how it was filmed :D
What an incredible display of resourcefulness and imagination. It’s not what you have but rather what you do with what you have. Kudos!
You’ve got another fan right here.
Thank you for the kind words! ❤
Pretty good! I'm really surprised the conversation didn't go like this: "How much do you want?" "The whole pie!"
I loved your 'making of' coverage while making the film, and of course the film itself is truly astonishing. There is nothing about this that has an amateur feel to it. It would fit in to the original blade runner very nicely.
Those things in life that bring you a deep joy, like favourite songs, movies and beautiful places that motivate you, can be saviours in hard times. And inspire you during better times. This is what 'Slice of Life' does for me. Every time I watch this miniature masterpiece a well of happiness greets me, and stays some time after, making my day richer and keeping me more grateful for being alive.
What you have created with this film, the 'making of shorts' and newer projects, all contain within them the gift of love that have untold positive effects. Thank you (again) for your efforts and hard, hard work. And I hope you reap at least some of the benefits from your wonderful tribute to this world of cool, night time, rain soaked neon.
Ah Brett, the poet! Haha.. As always thanks for the words of support man. There will be lots of new BTS stuff in the new year and a brand new film in the end! Hope you'll be here for the ride!
Really good one. At last! A story, a look, a winner. Thanks!
Thank you for watching! 😉
This low budget independent short film gave me a bigger Blade Runner feeling that "2049 Hours of My Life Wasted".
haha thank you!!! :D
Nice addition to a 'Blade Runner' world showing life among others.
What an amazing piece, it was an absolute joy watching this passion project come together over the years. Finally viewing the project in its entirety was captivating.
Just.....absolutely stunning short 😮
It’s a shame that Hollywood don’t hire artist in their industry. This movie was exactly the kind of work I intend to enjoy and you sir nailed it!
I love the depth of the narrative it told though on how much can a human nature’s action could go as far to get what he/she wants.
Thank you very much for the nice comment!
I just saw this featured in The Last Boy On Earth on Amazon Prime. *EXCELLENT WORK!*
Here's your 1000th like. It should be 100x that, but someday you guys will get the recognition you deserve. An absolutely marvelous feat of filmmaking! Not only the craftsmanship it took to execute this film, but it's a damn good film to begin with. There is everything to be proud of with this project. Big fan x
Thank you very much for the great comment Pete!
Love this film more every time I rewatch it. The love and craftsmanship put into it are absolutely mind boggling! Love you guys, I look forward to seeing your future projects.
Thank you for the kind words! :D
Everything about this is amazing. The world building. The cinematography. The pacing. The soundtrack. The rain. It makes me realize how bad mainstream cinema has become starting in the late 90s.
Thanks a lot!
I've seen this when it was previously available. I'm glad whatever licensing or distribution changes got taken care of so more people can see this!
Ahhh, this is still the best Short I've seen since your festival debut and continues to inspire. Sadly, I gave up on my large production miniatures to save room, but the garbage city will always have a place in my heart. I can't wait to see your next production!
haha! We all have a garbage city in our hearts! :D
Just love this! The production was so incredible, on par with any big budget, studio produced movie.
This is so fucking cool, this could straight up canonically take place in the bladerunner universe... amazing work!!
Thanks a lot!
I think this should be made into episodes and extend this story and this world.
I honestly forgot i was watching a fan film several times! Well done!
Thank you! ;)
Fantastic! What a wonderful homage to Blade Runner with a unique story line. Incredible work!!!
Guys, I learned 20x from this movie and the making of the movie than any film school tutorials out there... the way you handled pain, stress and shoot looked ultimate fun... hatsoff to you both directors and the whole team... and now expecting a full feature movie from you soon..
The dystopian Blade Runner/ Judge Dread/ fifth element was pretty cool. Well done film.
I was completely taken into this grimy world of desperation and despair...thank you for sharing this superb work! I'm sure Philip K. Dick would be proud.
Thank you! :D
Simplesmente perfeito! Ridley Scott e toda a equipe de 1982 devem se sentir honrados. E é curioso ter tão baixa visualização, apenas 13 mil até agora, eu simplesmente não entendo as pessoas.
Passa a mesma sensação do filme antigo os caras com pouco orçamento conseguiram fazer uma história muito boa
eles deveriam usar palavras-chave relacionadas a Blade Runner para atrair os fãs
@@alltheserobotsshallfall faltou as # também assim o CZcams vai recomendar o video pela # tipo cyberpunk,bladerunner,movie
Wishing for multiple "like" options now. I have not the words to express myself after watching this. Oh my goodness. What did I just see. More of stuff like this pls. Would totally buy a ticket for this. Knocks out a lotta big budget movies in the last decade or so. Super proud of the team that pu this together.
You are very welcome!
That electric guitar solo after the fight was 10/10!!!! Definitely added a modern taste to this relatable Sci-Fi, Great work!
What you guys pulled off is absolutely amazing!
The making of series is one that sticks in my head always
Such a solid film. Inspiring and 2x inspiring to see how it was made. I admire your crew and leadership - a collaborative effort!!!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
This movie should be released in theaters worldwide. I would love to see it on a big screen. This can be played before a re-release of Blade Runner or 2049 comes out like how Pixar releases shorts before the actual movie
What a masterpiece. This is the real Bladerunner 2.
Such great story telling. Well done. It all comes together perfectly!
Thanks so much dear Knarb!!! ;D
The production is spotless and the knowledge in the old craft of making sci-fi movies....but the script and the story are absolute crap.
Long Boring scenes that have nothing to do with short movies.
This whole thing could be told in 10 min short not 25.
Again the tech is amazing but that is the problem today .No good writers
I was involved in the same style of production but computer generated animation.It took years to be made but the script and the story were complete crap.
These movies got awards for looks .
I wanna watch movies for the idea not for the effects.
Alot of these are far better than movies with huge budgets. Bravo. well done
Thanks!!!
WOW! Such a great story I want to see more. I can only imagine what the fellow does to survive.
Thanks for watching!
25:00 minutes well spent!!! That is so awesome and immersive. It was so gripping I can feel the tension. I know what he feels, the amount of hussling he makes just to get out. I know a lot of people who scrambled for money, took on loans that the whole family has to pay off, did sketchy work, just for a chance to migrate oveseas. Sure there's next year, but that's one year you could already have been there. Maybe next year you wouldn't even be around anymore.
The look is better with miniatures than 3D cgi. Very well done guys
You guys are world class filmmakers~ The fact this channel isn't viral yet is simply incredible
One day! When we're dead. ❤
This incredible work blowed my mind since I see how it was done!
A great job. unbelievable. A great inspiration for the journey as a composer! Thanks!!!!
You guys are simply incredible.
At last, a modern era sci fi story with a beginning, a middle and an end. Great stuff lads.
Glad you enjoyed it
I like that the tech is 80s hi tech - digital watch, message pager, mini laptop
Thanks! 😉
That was pretty darn good! Looking forward to the sequel.
This is pure art!!! I just loved the cyberpunk vibes.
Your work on this and sharing the BTS has been a huge inspiration for everything I do on my channel and it continues to inspire me to work up to making a short eventually. Thanks for all of the hard work!!
Oh wow, your work is great too man! Great dioramas! Subbed and will watch every video :D
This is what is meant by the term "Life is a b(+-h".
The Bladerunner concept was spot on.
Much appreciated! ❤
Rarely am I so impressed. Bravo!
Well done guys, love the artistry and passion that went into this. Very cool indeed.
Glad you like it!
Wow, what an amazing short film. Very well done. I collect prop money from sci-fi films, and this makes me want to get ahold of some of the paper money used in this film.
The quality of lighting in this short has impressed and astonished me from the very first moment. And, this is a short movie. Why do you have such great set design?
Thanks!!! haha.. well the light helps a LOT! Moody lighting does wonders. Also, layering of dirt and graffiti helped too I guess.
The visuals are awesome, I watched your making of, you guys are really dedicated and with a good spirit. I'm eager to see your next stuff.
Thank you so much!
excellent film! I love the classic Casio watch at 3:29! That model has been around for a while and it still looks "futuristic", in my opinion!
Honestly Inspiring, i have seen all of the behind the scenes and its crazy what you can do with creativity and being passionate. Outstanding work 👏
Fantastic!! I've been looking forward to watching this for years now ever since I saw your BTS of the cityscapes! Phenomenal lighting and technical abilities, and great story; I feel bad for the dude haha. I love this short and you guys have inspired me!!
What? How? This is amazing! I hope you guys make more in this world. This was just awesome.
I remember those Casio calculator watches. They were water resistant!
Amazing work!! If Bladerunner had a spin-off series/storyline...this would be it!
Poetic.
French?
Thankyou to all involved, a marvel of cinematic artistry.
Bravo 👌
The CGI on this is insane
There's no CGI here. It was all done with miniatures!
Gosh, I wanted to smoke, than to eat, than to smoke and than just go to Hongkong while watching this. Truly a masterpiece!
Great short film. Much better than what passes as SF from Hollywood these days. Great acting and camera work too! Thanks for making it available to us.
I wanted to watch all of the behind-the-scenes videos before I actually watched this, and it was worth it. This is unbelievably fantastic. Please keep making more films!
Thank you! Working on the new one as we speak! ;)
@@sliceoflifefilm Don't be the one thanking me! I was absolutely blown away. Especially on such a small budget, and the fact that this was the old school technique by huge studios in the late 70s to the 80s is just being replicated and shown off in that small-budget, small studio, and a small crew is crazy! This blew past my expectations of what an independent, CZcams, short film could be. This has to be my favorite short film I've ever seen. So, THANK YOU!
@@davidginn6551 Haha!! Wohooooooo!! ❤❤💘
One of the best
.😊😊😊😊😊
Absolutely stunning. Perfectly crafted for the length yet I did not want it to end. I loved every second.
Thanks a lot!
