Incredible. Why can't these short films be shown in cinemas before the main feature, like a trailer? Puts big budget Hollywood to shame. Well done 👍👍👍👍

Why can't these short films be shown in cinemas before the main feature?
Puts big budget Hollywood to shame. Hard to explain why someone needed to pay twenty bucks for a two hour formulaic blockbuster, when they enjoyed the five minute short more. (Besides, do people go to cinemas as much? More eyeballs here, likely.)
How does it put Hollywood to shame?
@@johnmartinez7440Because Hollywood movies are sh**ty?
I love this idea.
The key moment in a movie without the baggage of a movie.
Haha baggage! That’s funny.
A 4min 37sec video that’s better than all of the last 3 Star Wars movies combined.
And a better love story than Twilight, amirite?!?!
Who upvotes these tedious comments?
@@johnmartinez7440 sequel trilogy fan, I see…
If Hollywood got their hands on it it would be unrecognizable after being taken through the woke filter. Be thankful for these little 4 minute blessings.
I heard a podcast complaining about Star Wars #9. The number of complaints resulted in a podcast LONGER THAN THE MOVIE !! Now that's a terrible POS film! From JJ Boredoms!
Star Wars is Disney. Not Scifi.
Not even big productions have such excellent special effects (King Kong/Godzilla, The Flash, and others), this team of filmmakers achieved an impeccable short film.
The big studios need to hire these geniuses.
Congratulations guys.
🤟
maybe the flash but you know nothing about VFX
When's the last time you saw a big production make a 4 minute episode?
Studios have deadlines they have to have things done by a specific time. CZcamsrs don't they make content on their own time. It's not like that in the real world. No disrespect to the artist they did a great job, and perhaps they do have the skills to work in a major studio. But again they probably took a lot longer on this than a studio would have. For a 4 minute scene like this would it would cost a hefty sum and the longer it takes to do the longer it costs.
so right, I saw new trailer for the King Kong movie and They got Godzilla running! like a bloody human along w Kong and the CGI looks awful. God
When you find Cthulhu's planet by mistake.
And I named it... Fluffy.
And then you piss off his mom by taking out her new brood with an orbital strike, woopsie! 🤣
When you are the monster
Don't poke the Old Ones.
@@bearcubdaycareFR😂
Fantastic production quality and intriguing story! Great job everyone, looking forward to seeing more.
"Dead but dreaming" Nice Cthulhu reference
wow, I totally missed that. thanks!
Nice catch!
Finally! This is the way science fiction should look.
well that was seriously impressive. Like a hybrid between a better (much better) Prometheus in the first half and a "Love-Death-Robots" episode in the 2nd half. Massive congratulations to the (small!) team making such an expensive looking movie. Straight onto episode 2 for me.
Nothing like Prometheus
Rule #1: Always be nice to the indigenous lifeforms whenever visiting a new planet.
this one deserves to be a whole movie !!!!!!!!!!
Definitely
wait this is not movie ??? i was googling it lol didnt find it
They all do. Multi-genre gems.
I was smiling the entire film. This is every sci-fi I want to see wrapped into 4 minutes of pure cinema
What? 😂
great work - design is solid and who doesn't want Cuthulu!
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!👌👍 🤩
TARGET ERROR CHTHULU ABORT CODE
just got off an ice planet in Helldivers and this is what I see? Sick!
That's the closest thing we can see to an orbital strike
@@saymyname6726 that is just Orbital Gatling Barrage
Sorry this video made you ill. I hope you feel better.
The CGI in this episode is mind-blowing, congratulations!
"Director Quote: Ice is the story of mankind traveling to other worlds and sharing the richness of our culture with them." Classic.
Hahaha! War, pestilence, pollution…
So, the director is a dumbass, got it.
@@littlebirdie2 Don't forget greed...
Это англосаксонская культура во всей её красе и полноте. Не надо свои животные инстинкты распространять на другие народы. Большинство народов совершенно не так себя ведут на чужой земле. При этом вы знаете что так ведёте себя и обязательно обвиняете в этом других, оправдывая свою агрессивность. Англосаксы моральные уроды.
Stunning world building!
The best Science Fiction Horror Movìe since Alien
This is next Level, hope this short finds the way to Imax
BlackMilk Studio x Oats Studios = SCI-FI PERFECTION! I
I hope you get picked up by one of the streamers to do a Sci-Fi show. I miss The Expanse ... a void needs to be filled!
Me too expanse was amazing
Great job everyone!
Breathtaking visuals, brisk pacing and a simple, functional story. An ideal short film. 90%
Ruairi Robinson! Yes!!! Have been a huge fan ever since his trailer for Leviathan. Loved this!
I want to spread great episodes to various places beyond CZcams.
I have to thank the algorithm that guided me to this video.
"sharing the richness of our culture with them" yeah, we're fucked. But there is still hope, this series proves it. Thank you.
Great designs for the ship and devices e.g., the scanner thing. Excellent cinematography! Its amazing how most of your graphics etc are much better than some big-budget productions. I reckon carry on and you'll do well! Cheers and Thanks! Thumbs up!
Production quality is through the roof! Well done.
Love it! Lee Wakefield as a genuine space holligan
😊
Yes, you can tell a gripping story in under five minutes. Also kudos for the high level of technical skill demonstrated.
Stumbled on this and thank you to the CZcams machine for putting in my feed. Excellent use of 4 minutes to establish theme, intent and suspense. Can't wait for Episode 2!
Instant Karma! Love it!
There is no karma in killing demons
You reap what you sow
@@redketchum_0216 I am sure the "Demon" has been killed by giant tentacles in the end and it's definitely good karma for daddy octopus.
@@saschay2kthe demon has friends - will they come back with more firepower?
I've watched the Law Zero and KORE concept trailers more times than I can count, this is more of that gritty realism I love. Thanks MACGREGOR!
This TEAM brought their "A GAME", Bravo!
Man this series is amazing and the quality is next level. Don't ever stop making these type of short films.
Really looking forward to the next episode. 👍
I LOVE this series. The stories, the acting, the settings, the emotions evoked, and the sound and cinematography capturing it all so beautifully and subtly. I was immediately transfixed and transported into time and place. I want MORE. Each of these vignettes can stand on their own as a full-length film, but somehow through Macgregor’s magic he as hypnotized and taken us on a thousand sun journeys in a matter of minutes. So well done! Again, I want much more.
Nice work, keep the ideas simple and the acting and production high!
The interaction of weather particles with the ship and the illusion of size are incredible! I like the concept of the ship and its weapon, no slow movements like in the big budget films. Blackmilk Studio should be the next FX giant!
Very cool.
Next level polished production , sound and visuals spot on
Great effects, great story! Much better than anything from Hollywood or Disney.
That's just not true though, is it?
Very impressive stuff. I've never heard of Blackmilk before, but I'm a fan now. Hopefully you guys can get a deal with Netflix.
Netflix is woke bullshit
Great job! It’s funny how humans story things without realizing that there were consequences for their actions!
Nice remake of the vulture ship from star citizen, love it
Another excellent short that's better than 99.9% of the generic crap that's turned out.
What "generic crap" are you referring to?
Human hubris struck again, and struck out. Great story!
Awesome work! Amazing visuals! Cosmic Horror made with skill.
Fairly formulaic, but that having said, not at all unsatisfying. I would 100% watch more. Well done!
I'm all for some SCI FI Lovecraft inspired movies
❤❤
Excellent - much gratitude!!
Robert A. Heinlein made comment about this type of thing in his novel Starship Troopers. Everything in the universe is trying to survive and some species tried to expand (us earthlings). It takes only one mistake, and the conqueror will turn on its heels and begin living only to survive. Awesome video!
Cthulhu vs. Gladiator on Hoth with laser bombs
Superb
Please make more of this
I would go to cinema to watch a movie. I would watch the tv series. I would play all the games. I loved it.
Cgi is on the highest level🔥 most marvel and dc films with such hugh budgets juwt overuse those cringe effects etc. It starts looking very old and bad. This is true cinema
@@TomLee-lv8ql it has a story as well kind of. Its mysterious. Its not about the story in cinema
What an amazing piece of quality work.
Brilliant! Excellent S/E. More please?
wow, just passing through and then I found this... just watched and I am all in! big cinema feel..
❤🎉🎉🎉
A 5 minutes episode that probably took 2 years to make. Good job.😀
This looks fantastic... It sounds fantastic... It's definitely going places, I'm going to tell my kids I was there when it started... 😊😊
Awesome stuff…. Two episodes in and you’ve gut my subscription
This is the level of filmmaking i want to reach some day ❤ Great work! Huge inspiration for me 😊
Leaves Disney in the dust. Great work.👍
Literally... in the last episode. Mickey Mouse indeed.... Humans!
Ah yes, because Disney famously makes sci-fi/horror movies?
What?
Love this... definitely need a much longer story on this team of explorers/encounters.
wow this was sooo good!!! congrats to the team
Perfect representation of humanity.
Amazing images, beautful and brooding soundscape. Love it!
Awesome work! :)
Dear god this looks fantastic!! How did you achieve this level of visual? Seriously, this is better than almost everything in cinema today. What I especially liked was the snow/ice sticking to the suit. I know it's just a small thing but in many movies or series when they use artifical snow they miss these details. Again, excellent work and thank you for sharing this.
Outstanding work- reminds me of the the stuff Oats studios used to produce ( Neill Blomkamp needs to hurry up with District 10... ) + a bit of Love, Death & Robots. Space Geezer vs Cthulhu... :D
The two Oats projects that absolutely needed feature length films were Fireteam and the one about the lady trapped in that base with that mutating monster like The Thing.
Yes District 10
Omg district 10, where! WHERE IS IT !😮
Whatever happened to OATS?
@@AfroMan187 Bloody good question- they out out some awesome short films. I know Blomkamp has said he's working on District 10 so hopefully it won't be too much longer before we hear something official..
wow, i love it. you did something special. thank's for sharing. 👌👍🤟
‼️ What ? …How?… Really?…‼️
What an experience
🙏❤️ Love Scotland ❤️🙏
I'm super impressed by the production, doesn't remotely look like a "budget" film! I could see something like this as a nice bumper on the SciFi channel between shows.
Also makes a nice resume for your team to get funding for something bigger, good fortune!
OK! That was a rather fabulous presentation!! If this were a full length move, I'd pay to watch it. Great acting and storyline. The special effects were actually spot-on awesome! I look forward to more of your work! I am subscribing to your channel!
That was awesome was not expecting Ray Winston in a movie like this! 😍
Maybe he has bills to pay.
When he stepped on that creature I knew it would be good, awesome effects so far
Hands down the best thing I’ve ever seen on YT. I can’t wait for a feature length film.
Yup, this is super cool. As soon as he squished that ice bug, I new trouble was soon to come. Anyway, Salute!
How is this free to watch? This is A-tier film production! 👌🤯
Amazing! 👍 Sharing immediately!
Incredible!!!! 🎉
Не фига себе короткометражка, да это по сути целый фильм со смыслом. Карма не избежна. 👍
Крутые ребята создали крутые корабли, но не смогли создать автоматический зонд который бы смог без человека просканировать пространство... по сути автор сценария - идиот.
Thank you 😊 Google for recommending this awesome series to me.
That thing was freeeeeakin huge! You guys captured the sense of scale very well.... :)
This needs a GAZILLION more views!!!
This is absolutely incredible!!
Wow, brilliant.
When he stepped on that first creature, I really thought it was going to be like that hammerpede in Prometheus and break his foot, phew, my heartrate did go up a bit though!
Magnificent! The suspense was unreal for the few minutes of action. So many "whys" were opened, establishing potential for multiple story-lines. The CGI put on their knees multi-million Hollywood productions. And there was even a lesson at the end - don't mess with Cthulhu's kids :D
"Life will find a way!" :)
Spectacular.
Love it. The entire composition is fantastic. You reap what you sow. The bug killer, becomes the bug. 😂😂
Can't wait to see more!
Looks fantastic, sounds fantastic, was Superb. Great work that is better than most TV.
Wow. Fantastic production values and effects.
This is just incredible, I won't be able to express how much I love it, so happy that I've just started and have a lot more to see. I'm really curious about this universe's story ! Amazing visuals too, my eyes are blessed ! Thanks
Can't wait for the rest of the episodes, this was great!
Incredible work! The visual effects and cinematography completely blew me away along with a pretty interesting story. Though I do feel like it's kinda weird that he just stood there when the very angry squid guy was about to kill him.
I'm about to watch every single episode. This is some solid indie sci-fi.
4 or 5 minutes what a tease! I want 90 or 120 minutes of this! This is like one bite of steak when your mind is telling you: that you want the whole steak! Feed me!
Holy macaroni, this is stunning!
I hope Ruairi Robinson will be able to make his ambitious planned feature The Leviathan, and this shows he could easily make an Alien film or the Gears of War feature
I'm sorry, but this is not a movie trailer????? is this graphics from the guys????
you have surpassed Hollywood! This is the best thing I've ever seen.
Shock.
YOU ARE REAL PROFESSIONALS.
