- By Christian Szczerba. A little description for the algorithm:
This time, a short film a little further from cosmic horror and more dark fantasy, kinda like Hayao Miyazaki and Spirited Away. There's also some influence from liminal spaces, like the backrooms by Kane Pixels or analog horror by Mister Manticore. Oh and I almost forgot, A24 films like the lighthouse!! - Krátké a kreslené filmy
Long story short, the video couldn't stay up on youtube with the actress's face visible, this was out of my decision and not an artistic choice :(
We'll take it as lore Related, you did a great job on the video!
All good man still awesome.
Is it available elsewhere without the faces blurred?
@@distance7721 There's a reupload from someone else on youtube if you look up Creatures of crepuscule
It’s totally ok if the face is blurred, your amazing 😊❤
This isn't art. This is the whole gallery. Outstanding.
The entire museum
Parents dropping their kids off in remote areas is a common theme throughout the ages. Some kids are so psychotic that people find it impossible to deal with them and just drop them off like dogs or cats. Sometimes they just aren't mature enough themselves to raise them so they abandon them. This reminded me of Samara of the movie The Ring where the parents couldn't get rid of her so they commited suicide because she was so horrible. I thought the blurring of the face was quite artistic and relevant to the story since the child had no identity in a cold world.
Pretty strange how an act of censorship can be appropriated to an artist’s advantage. Strange in a good way, of course.
If she came out of the tv imma yk make her Bendover😏😏😏
The “pandemic” and the forced school closures really shone a light on parents like that. They got pissed that they couldn’t drop off their kids anymore to some child-care factory away from home.
I would definitely pay $40 to sit in a theater with a bucket of popcorn and watch a full length feature by you, sir. You are an absolute genius!
Thanks Roy, well thankfully you won't have to pay that much to watch the feature film I'm making this summer :)
@@MoonProds YOU'RE MAKING A FILM THIS SUMMER!!???????
@@MoonProds MADE MY ENTIRE NIGHT
@@MoonProdsWhere is it man? I love your stuff, for the monsters do you record somewhere and edit or? Dang I wish I could just be there for a couple hours.
@@bioroboticeng There's a teaser on my channel! Right now I'm doing music and vfx
The censoring may be a blessing in disguise, really adds to the overall dream like feeling and sense of mystery. Definitely felt some Spirited Away vibes there too
I thought I was the only one! Something in the back of my mind was telling me this was familiar but I couldn't place it. As soon as the dragon train pulled up it all fell into place.
The girl is Sen/Chihiro.
Also the moving buildings made me think of the movie Dark City.
I was gonna say the beginning is definitely giving me Ghibli vibes.
The music at the beginning is very by Studio Ghibli, and some of the scenery has an 'anime scenery' feel to it. I loved the whirling supercell over the field. That was so dream-like.
Man, this almost feels "wasted" on CZcams. This deserves a big screen, a cinema, theatrical release.
What you are doing goes far beyond filming, editing or visualizing. You are literally creating worlds. You are creating more atmosphere than most of the movies I've seen in the past few years. This is top notch! 👌
I can imagine that it bothers the hell out of you that you had to censor it. But let me tell you that this was nevertheless a unique experience and all the feeling got delivered even without a face.
Can't stop admiring this as well as the other creature- videos of yours. I will happily stay tuned for what else you will put out!
Overwhelming!
Indeed, it's my dream to release a film in theaters someday, but still, I grew up watching excellent short films on youtube, free of charge. Being in a lower class family, this accessibility was a key point in the formation of my culture, same for pirated movies. I'm really thankful to all those who put out their work for free and it's something I'd like to do as much as possible! When I read comments that say one of my videos inspired them or their kids it always makes my day. :)
Knowing that I'm on the other side of the screen in front of a somewhat sizeable audience, there's the pressure of always doing better than the last time, so that's why uploads are less frequent now
Anyway, thaks for the comment and have a lovely day!
@@MoonProds Yeah, I see.
It was probably a bit poorly worded by me, sorry. I didn't mean to belittle CZcams in general or the possibility it offers to artists like you :)
Using other words, delivering what I really meant: Man, I would definitely pay real money to see this in theaters!
The vibes your videos send off totally hit a nerve for me - in the best possible way!
Thanks for responding :)
@@MoonProdsyou know, I'm also dreaming of making a theatrical movie myself. I'm working on a graphic novel and I want to make it 20s-30s cartoon style. And then adapt it to film
@@penitentestudios1492 Hey go ahead dude, with the advent of AI, we'll all be replaced in a couple of years anyway
I'm just saying, that dragon train is badass and deserves to have its own franchise.
Everything about the train was flawless design and character presentation! It's unforgettable.
The story has some touches of Little nightmares, and the black 'n white graphics give it a touch of a classic music video from "of monsters and men".
Beautifully done, Moon.
I remember I found this channel through your end time vid and looked at recent and found this. I then forgot the channel and was looking everywhere for it. One day I remembered the end time vid and searched it up and finally refound this masterpiece.
When I first watched your Creatures of _____, ect, I was completly baffled on how your channel doesn't have millions of subscribers, the level of commitment and quality put into these master piece is incredible. Keep up the amazing work!!
It's unfortunate that the censoring is needed but i feel like it adds to the overall mystery a little.
Your short film was absolutely stunning and an truly a pleasure to watch. The soundwork is just amazing and the visuals, oh my goodness! They were so incredibly realistic that at some points i couldn't discern what was actually recorded or animated. I think my favourite part would be the the reveal of the train's head, it was really unexpected and my jaw dropped when i saw it. I loved the train segment, it really reminded me of Spirited Away and The Polar Express.
Anyway enough of my rambling ('•^•)
I wish you the best on your future projects and i can't wait to see what you have in store!!
Comments like these are the best part of making videos, thank you so much!! You guessed right as Spirited Away and The Polar Express were big inspirations for this segment :) And the reveal of the train's head was the single shot I put the most effort in so it's amazing to hear that it was worth it hehehe
Have a wonderful day, Tired Entity!
Yea, I got the same feeling. I was thinking earlier that an adaptation of Spirited Away might not be so bad. He really captures the sense of desolation and out of place feeling that I always got from Spirited Away.
@@MoonProdsI lov the train design
@@Alittlebitofeverything-DJL tank u
@@MoonProds no way u actually responded lol, anyways just wanna let u know...
This is amazing, I mean FLABBERGASTING! I have never seen such talent
This is a pleasure to watch. The too brief scene of the train ripping over the bridge with the enormous weight of those huge swells just feet below, took my breath away.
that was haunting, i was especially freaked out during that dream bit she had, that misty feathery thing was such a creative design! also is it weird that i wanna hug the train- poor lil dude c':
and ngl i got lowkey chills when it went grey again at the end..
That dragon train was made to look scary at first, but ultimately it's just as nice and harmless as all the monsters from all my videos :)
(I want to fight the stereotype that monsters are necessarily evil and want to harm people in most horror stuff)
ngl dragon train has my whole and entire heart
@@kelpstorm The catbus is from Totoro, come on! :) But yeah it was a mix of it and the dragon as well as the train from Spirited Away
Weird thing is that a dragon-headed train hasn't really been done before (except in Thomas the tank engine) but it seems like such an obvious combination
aaaaa got the titles mixed up whoops :P but yeah its really effective!! and now that you mention it i am surprised no ones done it before :0
ah theres just something so cool about living trains taking you on a journey!!
@@MoonProds that is very interesting even HP Lovecraft and a lot of cosmic horror writers made it a point to show that some monsters or deities are not inherently malicious they just do things unconsciously
my take is
reject human becom trafficlight
good vid
you sir, are the ultimate heir to the dynasty of lovecraftian horror, sensing from the supreme quality of work youve displayed over the years...i really hope u get to make a full fledged movie with good funding someday, kudos to yout craftsmanship, lots of love and admiration from a fellow cosmic horror enthusiast from INDIA
Lore Related? The censoring makes things creepier
I could live in this film. No words can describe this, it’s perfect. Literally perfect. What a hidden gem. Ugh and the feeling of social anxiety from all the lamp people staring at her to them all suddenly being gone, the contrast between being seen by everyone and being alone and fearing both.
God i randomly found your channel like 20 seconds ago seeing creatures at the end of time instantly subbing keep it up amazing stuff
The music choice is great! It really complements the amazing cgi work, good job on that
They are scary, they won't harm you, they are not creepy. That train was just like:
"Hop on girl, face your fears, there is no need to fear, rest a bit..."
Masterful sound direction, as always. Beautiful overall. Your best one yet, keep it up.
God, I missed you.
I'm completely in love with this this is super well done, and even tho the Censoring wasn't a design choice it adds a bit of mystery to this and I think that's really cool, I hope you make more stuff like this and I can't wait to see your future creations. (:
This is absolutely outstanding! Great to see you move from using more CGI related into the live action theatre! Best of luck for future projects!
L’atmosphère magique et nostalgique de ce film est exceptionnel… J’adore le fin (J’ai regardé à ma lampe pour un moment). Le son, les créatures, les paysages et même les angles de caméra, tout est incroyable. Impatient de voir ce que vous allez faire après!!
I swear I still don't understand how no one has given you an Oscar or multiple Grammis for this Short Film, it's an urban legend, it's beautiful, I love it, it's the first time I've seen a Short Film of this level of artistic beauty....
This is just so, so good. The monotone the dark aurora surrounding the enitre video. The train part def was my favorite.
Amazing work my dude
The new censorship is like trying to remember somebody but you can’t remember what they looked like
I randomly found your videos and I’m absolutely amazed. I know nothing of film production or techniques, all I know is they are brilliant.
I must say that this little short has enchanted me. The scenes out of reality, the actress herself and the music... It's incredible and I've enjoyed it a lot (I would like to dedicate myself to composing very incredible ones). Very good work and I will be on the lookout for future projects of yours
To see how much one person can achieve is so inspiring, this film was nothing short of brilliant and I cant wait to see what comes next!
I can definitely see the inspiration from films like Spirited Away. I honestly really liked this and some of the shots given to us looked amazing. Great job man!
The Dragon Train and Burning Feathery Beast are both shaped like friends.
This whole channel, you, the things you create, are so creative. I love it.
Frightening and strange, yet beautiful and charming.
Great video. I loved the atmosphere and I felt a sense of mistery and awe like never before. Keep up the great work!
Enchanting. Thanks for making this. I really enjoyed it.
Why does this not have more views? I’m baffled by that. This speaks to me on so many levels, thank you for bringing parts of my dreams to life.
please keep doing what you’re doing believe it or not this stuff is better than most big horror movies nowadays I especially love the cosmic horror something about The unknown becoming known and becoming even scarier because it’s known is so contradictory and horrifying❤️
The greyscale and the way everything moves are kinda soothing and nostalgic.
The sound design and cues are really cool sounding in this! Great job!
Well done! The attention to visual detail. This truly had the feel of the classic Sci-fi writers. The music. So fantastic. Please make more!
Thank you for sharing this video. I have been watching a few lets plays of the Litle Nightmares 1 and 2 games recently, and a few scenes you have produced reminded me of those from that game. Looking forward to your next projects.
Absolutely LOVE your work! Wickedly dark and highly entertaining.
Dude this is incredible every detail of this is perfect
Sorry stuff happened to you man, this was a great short film, really well done indeed. Hope you can post the original vid again to your channel sometime soon :)
Sadly there's no chance the original will ever be on my channel again
@@MoonProds If I may ask, why did you need to censor it?
@@ProfessorBuge The actress' mother had a falling out with the rest of her family (and with me) and I only had her verbal agreement instead of getting it signed :/
@@MoonProds I see, that sucks... Great video nonetheless!
Just found your channel, really loving it
Omg it’s been months since I checked back in on your channel but I decided hey let’s see if they’ve updated and you have an entire short film omg!!! I love your work, just felt the need to say that 😅
Whyyyy have I never commented on how great this video is?? It’s dreamlike, and I love it!
I love yer work!!
Thank you so much dude haha, I remember you commenting on several videos :) Hope you're going well!
Thanks!@@MoonProds I hope you're also doing well and keeping healthy in these tumultuous times!
I have no idea what I just watched but I liked it. You make great animations man, you should have at least a million subs with this quality of animation.
A fantastic film! Been hoping for another one of yours since Madness lol. Well done! This was beyond all my expectations :) (Also that one scene with the merry-go-round terrified me, because I’ve heard the music box it played many times before lol)
Finally! i am glad this channel is still alive. Keep up the good work
Oh my god thats a masterpiece, i'm in love with the atmosphere. Excellent work!
Bruv This is phenomenal. The soundtrack is amazing and this runs like a film. You are gifted.
This is simply mesmerizing, from beginning to end. I couldn't look away.
The films made by this man are incredible keep up the good work
Just wanted to say your film was quite the experience. Awe inspiring in it's surreal creativity. It's criminal that as of this writing it only has 16K views, and that your artistic vision had to be limited by CZcams's constraints but it was incredible nonetheless. Can't wait to see your next project!
Absolutely stunning work. Ive been following for a little bit now and your cinematic sense and how you handle scenes and subconscious themes has matured by orders of magnitude. Not knowing the backstory re: censoring, I think the effect works in your favor. Also, your use of s/w tools like Blender is getting pretty impressive. Ill be watching...
i felt like i was at a theater ITS SO GOOD! the cgi and music is so well done like gosh no wonder why it took 2 years ITS AMAZING
god i'm soo obsessed with that opening scene, the music and cinematography is perfect!
Having seen the uncensored version as well I am amazed across the board with how good this is. I wanted more! Your work is incredible, there is a love of cinema on display that is delightful, and elements that get under the viewers skin and stay there.
Would count David Lynch as an influence on your work?
Thanks for the lovely comment! And even if it wasn't conscious, the style and atmosphere of Eraserhead was so strong that it's probably somehow inspired by it
I just remembered, if you look at the first teaser that was just test shots, the chained creature working the machines in the shadows was probably a direct inspiration :)
This caught me up, kept me totally enthralled and covered in full-body chills....the sound through earphones was hitting every nerve in my body......please feed us more! ❤
This is one of the most magical and beautiful things I've ever seen on here
Hey moon! I have been watching you since your channel started. I never really realized my love for giant-monster kinda stuff, but then I found you. The way you portray the feeling of hopelessness and fear when you see these horrors of your that you have made, its truly a piece of art. I could go on and on, but I know no one would want to read that. Long story short, I just wanted to say thank you for all of the films you have made.
As I've said before, the best part of making videos is reading the comments, it makes it all worth it! :)
I'm glad these videos could connect deeply with someone probably from the other side of the globe, even for a few minutes. It feels nice to see that someone has shared the same experience/emotions that you did, so thanks for your comment!
@@MoonProds I know you may not see this, but you inspire me so much man. You don’t realize how much I love your films.
@@kaydenbigman Of course I'll see this, I read each and every comment :)
And wow, that's special! May I ask how it inspired you?
Holy crap when that train showed up it reminded me of something like spirited away! This work is amazing!
I hope this guy makes more of this awesome stuff, a true visionary in his craft
Maaaan this is stunning. I'd really love some behind the scenes videos.
Я не знаю английский и не смогу написать на нем комментарий, но я бы хотел сказать что меня глубоко впечатлило это видео, спасибо автору за его творчество❤️
This is so professional. Love your content
I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thank you ❤
Real Spirited Away vibes from this. Well done!
Great... Thanks for the effort and uploading. Creativity is primarily work and overcoming obstacles. Something new emerges that is not previously planned. Creativity comes straight from the source of the universe...I promise to heavily promote this film...
Man this is so cool!!
Started watching this on tv but stopped, will put it on the projector tonight.
Very nice, that's how it was meant to be seen!
Can't wait till you make the feature length film of this quality.
Being waiting a long time for this!
Amazing video! Really incredible stuff.
Inspiring. It was that period with the carousel in particular that got my gears going.
Geez kid, first you resurrected my childhood night monster (creatures of the end time), now you've got footage that could be from the drive I am taking Friday...lol...
It's giving vibes of Thomas Ligotti, Eraserhead, and Mad God. Incredible stuff, can't wait to see what's next!
Awesome work!!! Highly inventive imagery....!
Man. I love this channel
A true masterpiece. ❤❤❤
Holy crap where was the opening scene that started at 0:35 filmed at? Such a beautiful scenic drive. Reminds me of one of the places I lived in, in the past. Also, beautiful opening music. Magical really. And finally, dang! She got ditched by her ride!!? That's cold bro.
It's actually many different places in the south of France
Movie magic!
Bro this is so good like a movie scene legit
wow, this video/movie was really nice to see and watch it's weird and that's a good thing you try to understand what happens most of the time but you don't understand, and towards the end it gives a lot of a chihiro's trip vibe, and that's a great compliment in my view
Cool and good. Can't wait for the Wendigoon video.
Haha that would be awesome
the skyscraper scene is crazy bro
even unintended, it does work as an artistic statement.
I can't wait until this becomes big and famous
This immediately gave me Spirited Away vibes, like the girl in the car, and the music that brings this feeling like this is normal.
Moon prod im actually able to understand these videos very good because the way I think and what my theories are actually making me feel like if it was me on my own mind
what are your theories?
absolutely magnificent
Two words... Dragon... Train. Arguably one of the coolest things I never knew I needed to see.
Very mysterious, very trippy, very cool!
This feels like a horror game honestly, confusing but it makes u creeped and also happy
Is there any chance to watch the uncensored video somewhere? Your works are a masterpiece! Thanks for inspiring me!
This is awesome
Wow. We have a genius director here. I hope you succeed.
Incredible work. It must be a bummer to not be able to show the film as originally intended, but the blurring of her face adds a sense of mystique, a ghostly visage, a forgotten feeling that is just beyond the grasp of a person desperately trying to remember.
Its like if your blind. You cant see their faces as if they were faceless by some big creature as it warps your brain.
This is like if David Lynch was asked to make a short film based on the Submachine flash game series. I thought the whole time that the blurred actress’s face was just part of the show, the atmosphere lends itself so well to that kind of artistic choice. This honestly gives me hope that creativity hasn’t been strangled out of this website yet.
beautiful
Do yoqu make these clips yourself or do you find them online? Either why these videos are amazing!
I made it by myself
