  • In the near future, the capital of Sweden has turned into a post-apocalyptic wasteland. We join four soldiers on a routine mission in ‘Zone 3’, with the assignment to investigate an old surveillance tower that just went offline. That’s the setting in first-time director Andrée Wallin’s short film, who also wrote and production designed it.
    Produced by Claire Fleming, the film was shot in London with an international cast, while all exteriors were shot in Stockholm. The VFX is done by Goodbye Kansas (goodbyekansas.com)

    Pro tip: When in combat we typically don't unbuckle the straps on our helmets. Also, if you are using night vison goggles you do not turn on white lights, that would be painful/pointless. Otherwise, great film.

    Thank you everyone for all your comments, support and feedback! It means a lot to us as we continue our jorney with State Zero. When it comes to the lights on their suits - as these soldiers are not facing human enemies they do not need traditional camouflage. Keeping small LED lights on the suits is important for other soldiers to quickly be able to spot their human colleagues if they get attacked.
    This short film was done on a shoestring budget by a very passionate team and was meant to hopefully spark interest among people online and within the industry and your support so far has been incredible. We believe that there's always more room for immersive post-apocalyptic stories and we're working hard to bring you more State Zero.
    So stay tuned and once again - thank you for watching!

      hidecki I didn't get an Aliens feel to this nearly as much as I got an Aliens feel. This spoke moreso I Am Legend and Division to me because of the general thematic elements (a quarantine zone, trained spec ops soldiers with bright orange being a central part of their character, and zombie-esque humanoids that avoid the light and are a result of human experimentation). It isn't because The Division and I Am Legend are "newer" additions to the fiction theatre.

    @Anonymous-it5jw Před 5 lety +1251

    The first scene was of an injured or deceased citizen, John Ericsson(Subject #25) being revived and subjected to the “Transformation Protocol” by scientists sanctioned by the State, which was apparently seeking to create either a class of enhanced proles, facile laborers without the intellectual ability to object to heavy or repetitive labor, or a sub-human class, possibly useful as soldiers, who would blindly follow the orders of the State. John Ericsson is dressed in street clothes, and is shown a picture of himself with a woman he is close to. He appears to have been injured and his clothes are disheveled. Because of the posting of photograph of the couple in front of him, it is implied that he was responsible for some harm that has befallen her, perhaps her death, but we aren’t told explicitly. However, the “punishment” is non-judicial, quick and extreme. Whether the other subjects were deceased, or grabbed off the streets or arrested for some social transgression, the end result for them is the Transformation Protocol. We are supposed to assume that some of the surviving subjects of these experiments escaped, joined together and revolted against the State. The State says they are non-human invaders to be eradicated like rats. The soldiers believe this.
    The returning of the I.D. Bracelet to the surviving soldier was the sending of the message that the “enemy” are basically human, that the State had lied about the origin and nature of the problem, and that the transformation experiments had worked better than the State anticipated. The subjects had gained increased physical strength and sense enhancements, while retaining their basic humanity and their abilities to think, plan and organize. Very well done. Hope we will see more of these.
    To the producers of State Zero - Watch out for the continuity errors pointed out by others; those errors will diminish the perceived or “internal” credibility of the movies. After all, successful fiction relies on the willing suspension of disbelief (according to Samuel Taylor Coleridge, ca. 1817).

They showed him the picture while injecting him to make his human side trigger his mind to stay intact while the injection took over his body. When confronted he gave the bracelet back to the soldier so that when he reports this situation they will know their vaccine is working.

      Anonymous98 the retuning of the ID bracelet was also a clear message that the subjects who are part of the Transformation Protocol are sentient beings. Probably more so than they were before they were changed...hence the last soldier not being eviscerated and set free. For an amateur/indy short though, the production and filming was pretty darn good. Just clean up some of the technical faux pas and its a golden.

    BRILLIANT visuals, from lighting to set design to effects and CG. Amazing work, there.
    Your writers, however, should be taken outside and seriously roughed up. They used every tired military-movie cliché in the book, and it _ruined_ this short for me overall.
    I hope all of the artists move on to excellent creative new products. I hope the writers consider alternate careers.

      Agree in everything except it didn't ruin it for me. Its a budget short, I am willing to look past such things.
      But yeah next time around don't:
      -talk about mission briefing at the last sec. Audience doesn't need that much info and its utterly unrealistic. Reads like a video game mission briefing or very clumsy screenwriting.
      -don't point guns at each others
      -don't use flashlights and night vision
      -give the dudes a little edge, cut some eyebrows fame acne scars - something - these pretty boys didn't look like they had seen much.
      -avoid the cliches like rookie hazing when on a mission or sergeant smoking a cigar (I know he didn't here)
      This unsolicited bitching aside - a great piece and congrats to everyone involved!

    • @SIPEROTH
      @SIPEROTH Před 9 lety +2

      Jeremy Rice Have you ever considered that sometimes the writers just don't want to
      present some super twist and just want to make a nice simple action
      sequence?
      If every writer tried to create the next big twist then shit will get tiring fast.
      Sometimes you just want to watch a nice simple movie about soldiers fighting monsters and relax. Sometimes you just do not want your brain fucked up.

      @@claudiustefan4565 If you are referring to this video "coming out before the release of The Division", you are correct. However the first "The Division" trailer depicting the Smart Watch or the Intelligent Security Assistance Computer (ISAC) Brick debuted at E3 2013, meaning that the concept of a device that emits an orange glowing ring attached to a government agent during an apocalyptic event was still largely created/propagated by The Division almost 2 years before this video debuted.
      I wanna be clear, I am not saying this video has anything to do with The Division and I think both properties are epic cool without being related. I liked watching this video and I enjoy this sub-genre of apocalyptic content no matter who makes it. It is not a dig at any property to have homages if that's what this is and it is not that weird an idea that something can be thought of independently by 2 different entities for similar properties, if that's what this is. Things like this device showing up in both properties can be interesting/cool, regardless of the actual relationship between the 2, but I found it interesting that the 2 are close enough for it to be a decent chance at being an homage.
      Remember next time you say something that project amalgam release dates are not the same as concept release dates.

      Servers and hardened equipment frequently use DOS like command line interfaces to save resources and eliminate problems from UI elements that don't really add any functionality. Adding the software and hardware for a UI only adds more things that can break.

      DOS faster, easier to change code, less key strokes, need facts not pretty. COSTCOs platform is in DOS for that reason
