20,000 people have now watched our film, which I never would have expected.
I’d just like to say on behalf of myself and all of the people who worked together to make this, thank you for watching and thank you for your comments.
My hope when starting out with this was to make a film that people would get a feeling from, I hope I achieved that.
This was fantastic, i hope you get more recognition
Thank you very much for the kind words, and for watching it!
The attention to detail in the sound design and picture itself creates a truly immersive experience, adding depth and dramatic mood to every scene. Congratulations Dalano and the entire team, it's a great short film!
Thanks very much, very glad it’s drawn you into the world
Type of robot I want, has a brain, and can think for itself.
Awesome, keep going!
Thank you! I definitely will

I think for a debut, it's really good. However, I did find it to be a bit confusing in parts and I didn't quite get the ending. All in all, i think its well done and shows much potential.
Hi Ric, thanks very much for taking the time to watch and give feedback, I appreciate it. I’ve gotten similar comments about the ending so will take these into my next film moving forward. Thanks again!
Beautiful, Dalano and Crew. Awonderful script and concept.
Thanks very much for watching Moreno!
This was brilliant. I was on the edge of my seat towards the end. It's incredible that this is only your first proper film. Well done Dalano. I cant wait to see what the next one brings.
One comment: The subtitles went out of sync from about 6:30, not sure if that was just for my device.
Thanks very much for watching and no bigger compliment than the film putting you on the edge of your seat! Thanks regarding the subtitles, checking that out now.
Fixed the subtitles. Thanks for bringing that to my attention!
@@dalano_films Awesome. Thank you for adding them, not many CZcams short films do. But I need them to understand whats going on :)
eatshitanddie...my favorite line
Grabbed my attention and that isn’t an easy thing to do. Superbly constructed . Brilliant all round piece of film making . First class.
Thanks a lot for watching it George, I’m very happy you enjoyed it.
Brilliant!
I liked it, but at the same time I don't get it. The flashbacks with the young woman and man, was that saying X33 had been with Martin for years and years? I guess it all just went over my head, I feel there was a lot I wasn't getting.
Thank you Glen, I appreciate it. It sounds like you got it, hasn’t gone over your head.
Same here!
Amazing movie!
Appreciate you giving it a watch! Thank you
This was a great watch! I look forward to seeing more of your work Dalano!
Thanks sir!
Great job....Peace
Thank you!
@Dalano's Films A tribute to "Bad Robot" film studio in the first scene?
I've never seen it, but will see if I can find it. Thanks for watching!
@@dalano_films You probably have, though you might not realize it. They're a production company run by J. J. Abrams & usually do sci-fi films. They were responsible for the TV series Lost, Alias, & Westworld, & the full-length movies of Star Trek reboots, Mission Impossible series & the Cloverfield films. Their logo is a cartoon of a little red robot similar to the one you used in this short.
@@DrachenGothik666 looked it up, and yeah I do recognise it, especially as I’ve seen most of the names you listed. Was a coincidence that it’s similar to the robot used in this film (I think it’s because old robot toys from 20th century were usually red)
