Hey everyone! I'm Brian Otting, writer/director/producer of IT CAME NAMELESS IN SPRING. Thanks for watching! This was my first short film and I learned a lot. AMA.
Thank you for making the great work:) from korea
The main fight sequence was excellent, not quite sure how she escaped in the end but it looked super realistic and I bet that took a while to get right.
Wow!!! It’s an amazing film! Great acting, great visuals…
There no way you made this film
Intriguing, I would like to see what happens next. One minor mistake? Around 5:03 from the shadows it looks like someone tosses the backpack from the left and she climbs over from the right.
A lovely example of "show, don't tell". The horror is compounded by the impression that the entity is so detached from the suffering its inflicted, like a traveler picking berries by the roadside while stomping on an ant colony.
Thanks! Well said!
Interesting parallel, well said.
I do wish this had closed captions, it is very difficult for me to follow the dialog without it.
Yep. Me too.
Same
I didn't want to be the 'bearer of bad news' - but I found this video to be almost unwatchable due to the loudness of the music vs the quietness and garbled sound of the dialogue. And I'm wearing headphones!! It was unwatchable, I couldn't understand what was being said!! 😥
I had no problem. On an iPad with AirPods.
@@UpChuckLiberals that's y
Great story. Lead actress was terrific, when she saw her husband when she gets home, you could see the heartbreak in her eyes.
If that's your first film, you have a crazy good future ahead. I can't wait to see what you do next.
Thank you so much. My second short film is playing festivals now. You can watch the trailer for it on my channel.
I must agree with you Russ.
Just watched your short video. As a lover of sci Fi for over 60 years I am impressed. It kept my attention and reeled me in. I liked the premise and the ending leaves an opening if it's something you choose to add to. I would love to see more.Thank you for sharing!
Thanks mb! I am also a sci-fi lover for many years. It's an incredible genre and I hope to make more in it.
You have a TON of questions to be answered my friend! Great job
Well done, a good example of what can be done with story and acting, without needing a lot of CGI to hold it together. If anything, it captures the essence of what people might actually go through in such an ET apocalypse scenario. This could definitely be extended much further into a feature film, or a series.
Thank you so much. Would be cool to revisit with more time to tell the story, for sure.
What was the story? I didn't understand the ending because I couldn't hear it; even after replaying it many times.
yh its called the Purge. A lot better than this rubbish
The sound was awful, couldn't hear any voices over the background screeching violins.
Excellent! She'll become the badass they never wished to come upon.
you don't lower a lever action when reloading you just reload and keep it aimed
Yup
Only complaint is it needs subtitles, I had a hard time understanding what some of the actors were saying
The title alone caught my attention. And the rest held my attention. Loved it.
OMG thank you -- took me FOREVER to think up a title! They're so hard for me, lol
@@brianotting Very poetic actually
@@gargoyle38 Thank you!
Masterpiece. Camera work is astonishing. Mattox makes it perfect; I'm sure she'd be perfect in any major production. Main story is as sad as human history and back story is thrilling. Soundtrack matches every small movement at any second of the film. Directing can't be better.
I must say this score to this dust has to be the creepiest one I've heard yet I really enjoyed it
Thank you. My brother David did the sound design and we worked for a very long time putting the soundscape together. Appreciate it.
The guy probably died from drinking that pool water. Also, thanks for having CC enabled DUST. Made it so much easier to understand the dialogue.
Guess how many people just learned a new move? At 10:10, that doorway served a purpose totally unintended yet so useful, it’s life saving….
Yeah, that was slick. I thought she was going to fling herself backwards instead. BAM!
Not in any way realistic. She's being choked out and is the smaller of the two. No way she has the strength to do that. I might add that she doesn't exactly exude the confidence that intense physical survival training would provide. But, go ahead and make yourself feel good about some unbelievable fiction.
@@fishinfool3795Adrenaline works wonder
I loved it. Humanity succumbing to the urge of necessity, the good people repressing what makes them human in order to win the fight against destiny, against each other, and survive... I also liked the Lovecraftian monster in the sky. This is a concept that deserves a whole series.
Except the one chick didn't shoot the other chick. I was kinda left unfulfilled personally. If they are really in an ultimate struggle for survival, this isn't even a question.
Very well made short. I could easily watch a lot more of this story. Please? May I have another?
Another what? This was a waste of time. What the hell did that cloud have to do with anything?
A continuance would be welcomed , however , I suspect it's a one off as usual . No harm in exercising the imagination .
@@yannikavadas1490 I guess I am just old fashioned where stories are concerned. I still believe that a story should have a beginning, a middle and an end but that's just me. Take care and Maranatha

@@tribulationprepper787I believe that's just the standard format. Everyone should exercise Creativity and think outside the box instead or relying on the standard format.
Stories can be told while using a format that is different from the norm, having studied creative writing, they don't stick to the standard format.
My first question in that situation would be less "where'd you get the gun?", and more "where do you get a gun?"
That's what happens when you break into the house of Holly Holm. You almost get choked out.
Great realistic fighting. That is real world fighting for survival with what there is around you.
This is an absolute lesson in how to build tension....well done...
Appreciate that. I studied quite a bit of Fincher's thrillers like ZODIAC when prepping for this :)
Now featuring "The World's Least Effective Choke!"
its a damn spaghetti monster.
Even when the world is ending humans still cant get along.
"You are the love of my life"
"We look alot the tempests of chicken" -- whaa
Good, except for the sound quality. Conversations are inaudible.
The way he was blue... that's real man
Funny how even short films like this pick up what so many of those Netflix/Prime etc. productions do: Much too much of poorly lit conversation and just a few secs of the impressive CGI (which is ALWAYS the title pic or the thumbnail). So this will be a smash hit. Congrats.
the crayon candle was a very nice touch
Thank you. Saw it on a survivalist website, had to use it.
This kind of candle really exists/works?
Certified Gold!!!!!😁
Another awesome short. Really nicely done.
I wish it was a full movie, it's such a great concept. Great job.
Very good, Brian: well done, you and everyone else involved in this project.
☝️😎
Fantastic. Really enjoyed it. I wouldn't have thought it was your first film. Great work👏
Thanks, appreciate that. Maybe all those late nights watching countless films rubbed off a little. 🙃
This should be a full-length movie or a series. Kudos.
Confused about what's going on, I wanted to know more about the entity
This could so easily be showing on Netflix well done and executed
Great story. Well made. Hope you continue the story.
Please Sir, can I have more. That was awesome. Make a great movie.
when a post apocalyptic theme meets a SHTF context
Exactly!
Woww impressive fight scene too...this was great.
great teaser - I want to see more of this story.
Great! Ready for Part 2!
Great to see a short film on CZcams for sure
Dust has the best sifi shorts.
That was an EXCELLENT fight scene!
The acting, choreography, pacing, motivation, angles and believability.... haven't seen one that good on a while.
Great job, very compelling. Like any great short fiction, it leaves you wanting to know what happens next. And thanks also for your twist on the very tired " helpless women threatened " cliche.
Good luck, and please keep up the good work.
Excellent short film, very engaging. Looking forward to more!
OK. Dystopian future. People at odds for basic resources. I get that. Alien that only shows up at the very end, and doesn't really do...anything. Bored now.
Excellent !!!! Would love to see a continuation of this story.
Absolutely SPOT ON BRIAN! Great writing, acting, cinematography! The only “crtique” from my end, and I’m, not a film maker, is the sound effects. They did, follow the mood and the story line, I just found that pipe organ, bag pipe? tone, drove me insane…. Lol, if I were them, and those were alarms of some kind? I’d of died doing everything I could to silence them! LOL, NICE WORK! GREAT STUFF!
More please!! 👍👍
Twisted and cool.
Nice... would love to see the whole story!!
Please sir may I have some more shorts? Also what was the function the crayons had when being burned other than to melt?😅😆😆
Why are so many of these short sci-fi story so bleak and depressing? Not to disparage Brian Otting specifically, the filmmaking and storytelling were good and I hope he does more, but I've seen minor variations of this short video a few dozen times already. If you took all of the short sci-fi videos on youtube and randomly selected three, I bet two of them would have the same plot, pacing and mood as this one. Again, let me say that I think Brian Otting did a good job, just wish he put more effort into creating something not as similar to the multitude of others.
10 out of 10. Do more.
Well done Brian a good job 👍🏻
Learned something here!! Crayons can be candles!! Like my Crisco Candles!!
Nicely done!
See? I told you there's really a flying spaghetti monster.
Thes sound design on this is epic.
Intriguing concept. Well done.
from a fellow filmmaker, well done.
Wow, this was REALLY good!
Yes. Very good job Brian.
The sound track... I got bad Shivers! Fantastic all the way around. Fight seen was amazing!
I like this so much it makes me cuss creatively.
I've seen this on dust, abd it was always a favorite 😍
At this point I'm convinced "short film" is short for "I can't come up with an ending for this"
Excellent underscore! Very impressed
Great video. Excellent acting. Extremely compelling. Was ready for more.
Corey Rieger and Magen Mattox are incredible actors. I was lucky to have them.
Thank you!
Well made, and great suspense. It holds you attention.
Many thanks- very engaging
That's outstanding for a first attempt, you will be a major success.👏
Wow...a story told many different ways, but elegantly so here.
I LOVED IT... WATCHED TWICE
Looks like Microsoft's Cloud has come alive and destroyed civilization - - - Bills Dream
Indeed. His buddy K.S. would be gleeful.
Please more of this. :D I love cosmic horror.
I like how the atmosphere is established and the trapped are turning against each other. I like how only at the end do you know what is trapping them all. What is moving is that on one hand the wife is deeply in love yet finds violent strength against another innocent. Also, the husband's illness does a nice job of countering the cliche of the strong-husband protecting wife, by subtly providing a rationale why the wife volunteers to go out. Well done!
That was freaking good!😊
I find the background noise really distracting. Silence is much more scary.
Very good!
Good beginning - why is she walking toward the giant brain cloud thing at the end? I guess its tentacles are grabbing women? Has similar feel to the film SKYLINE. Would love to find out what the THING in the sky is.
Excellent!
Wowsa soooo good‼️👏🏼
Very cool. I think her arguing about her immunity to spores when they discussed who goes out would have clarified his condition in a useful way, but I loved the film even with that ambiguity.
MORE! Plesase
Well done. Really enjoyed this. Especially good fight choreography. Realistic.
Great female fight. Well-directed and well-executed.
Interesting, needs to be a movie
I like how she raised the rear sight as she fumbled with the rifle over the girl on the floor. She's unfamiliar with firearms and desperately trying to figure it out in a panic.
I wonder if that was scripted or ad lib. Either way, it was brilliant!
Well done keep going.
Excellent.
This IS good. what a good full length movie it would make.
A very Lovecraftian style. I for one found it to be a quite insightful and inspiring short film that is far greater in scope than anything created by the detestable and unimaginative Hollywood crowd. 👍👍👍👍👍🙂
Impressive. I enjoyed it
WOWEEEEEEEEEE! 👏🏻👏🏻🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️ THIS was unexpected and FANTASTIC❣️👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻BRAVO!🌹
Choreography was AWESOME & acting SUPERB❣️👏🏻👏🏻🌹🌹🌹
Blessings to you and your viewers~
Enjoy the rest of your day!
