GUNMETAL RAID - Mecha Short Film | Unreal Engine

- Mecha action short film made in Unreal Engine.
A solo animation project I worked on for over 4 months, depicting Mech warfare heavily inspired by Gundam and Armored Core. Special thanks to artists Zen Jirakun, Jaejun Kim, David Tilton, Pj and StrikerAstra for allowing me to use their concepts for my work.
In a near-future strife with interplanetary conflict and mech warfare, ‘Gunmetal Raid’ depicts a raid of a military installation by a burgeoning extrasolar empire which conducts lighting warfare using Ace-piloted mechs. Meeting them head on are the defenders of this border world, a planetary defense force comprised of their own veteran pilots. Beleaguered for months now, the final attack is imminent, and they now make their final stand. - Krátké a kreslené filmy

I LOVE the underground Mech revival online, from Gundam to Battletech, Mech communities are happy after 15 years of very little content.
Armored Core 6 baby!!
Ac6 for the win
Armored Core is gonna do wonders for the future of the mecha genre, I’m glad everyone has joined together to voice an interest!
Lancer TTRPG and AC6 brought me in
The mecha genre never really died. It just went into stand-by mode
Love the homage to the Armored Core 6 story trailer shot at 0:51
Yee3s
This entire short film is very armored core especially with how the mechs skate on the ground with boosters
I agree this looks like a fan made armored core trailer
Yeah; remind me a bit of this part of the scene from AC2's cinematic-intro..

@@StrelitziaLiveriesActually, skating mech is not new. Votoms already did it in late 70s. Watch it, you might love it.
The perfect blend of Gundam and Armored Core in both aesthetics and combat. And the Project Wingman music is an excellent touch.

If you in fact like this so much (I do as well.) there is a Kotobukiya kit, frame arms-Kobold:RE2. Has this sort of vibe, I haven't gotten it so I can't confirm if it is worth whatever price it is, but it looks neat, almost eye candy for menacing mech enjoyers.
I love the Zaku 2 walking sound effects of the axe mech
The mechs dropping in from the sky using shields straight out of Iron Blooded Orphans, I love it.
That's such a cool part. That should be a staple of mecha.
The machine guns look like the ones they used on the graze in IBO, as well as the axe. Although tbf it is unreal engine so it is probably an asset for IBO models.
It's so good that even Zeta Gundam copied it.
@@origamichik3n copied?
The original Gundam did it as well though when falling from the atmosphere it used it's shield to not get destroyed in the entry
this guy CLEARLY understands ''the rule of cool'' when it comes to framing, also the classic ''gundam footstep clang'' sound was immaculate.
Zeon/Zaku footstep clang, but still works well enough. You hear that sound and it easily just gives that sense of something massive and machine like with some weight to it.
yes the framing works here wonders , it gives you a sense of scale, love it!
My main problem with Armored Core 6 is how muffled and quiet the footsteps are... very disappointing. Mechs should be LOUD.
@@HevericPretty sure it’s just general footsteps. iirc The Gundam Mk II uses it in Zeta. Also, like a lot of sounds from OG Gundam, they’re shared with a lot of Sunrise’s other works. It was a bit funny watching Votoms and going “hey I recognize that noise!”
@@suspiciouscheese4518 sunrise loves to recycle sounds , eventhe og 78 beam shot was remastered into beam magnum sound
That monoeye heat hawk. BEAUTIFUL. Love all the Armored Core and Gundam parallels
It's really epic, I think the PIXONIC team took a little inspiration for the Ground Zero trailer. I'm not saying it's a copy (because it's not even a joke) but they look similar, although it may be because the protagonist is the nether robot since I think this one was greatly inspired by a gondam. In fact there are many Otakus in pixonic
Man, this is a top-tier short that scratches an itch I've had ever since I got into Armored Core. Keep up the good work. It's clear that you've got a passion for this kind of thing.
Same 😂
"We have Gundam at home"
(Gundam at home is actually good)
The sound design.
Those crisp white shots and the composition.
The briefing music which was a prelude to showdown from Project Wingman.
I'm loving it.
Don't get your dirty boots on my crisp white shots!
I knew the music was reminding me of something...
I heard that music and immediately clocked it lol, great tastes Edit: spelling
Idk why but axes always feel like the better mech melee weapon. Just feels right
Many mechs would not have the grace and agility to make a sword as effective as they would be for normal humans, an axe however
This was such a joy to watch, you did a really good job. The atmosphere, model quality, animation, the SOUND DESIGN, everything just oozes passion. Not sure if you'll ever make more stuff like this again, but I'll definitely be paying attention to your works from now on!
1:46 this shot right here reminded me of a wh40k fan animation called plague by Sodaz before it got taken down. Specifically where the leader of the plague marines who also wielded an axe, pumelled an ultramarine beaky to death
Feels like Armored Core 6 meets Gundam.
Absolutely amazing work!
you can just hear that pilot at the end go "....well shit."
This is a perfect homage to the entire mech genre. Awesome work!
That AC6 Landing shot was chef's kiss bro... Kudos to you for making this, this is friggin GORGEOUS! I was watching it from beginning to end HOOKED lol
Ya know, this could be a backstory for Rubicon and I think it fits well. Or maybe some untold mercenaries' war stories in AC universe.
Well to really get into it, this doesn't really line up with Rubicon's history. Rubicon was settled by colonists, who would form the Rubicon Research Institute. Their creations went out of control, and that led to the Fires of Ibis. Some colonists would survive the Fires of Ibis, and would become the Rubiconians we come to know in Armored Core 6. Rubicon didn't have to deal with invaders until it was discovered that there was still Coral on Rubicon, which led to the corporations arriving on the planet.
I think it's best to take this short film and respect it for what it is, an original project with its own universe.
really love how it was heavily inspired by Gundam and Armored Core
This needs to be a game, I would pay 80 bucks to play it
The opening theme is the one 2nd hangar theme from a game called Project Wingman, a fan made game based of Ace Combat if anyones wondering
i believe this is basically a 7th generation armored core
fromsoftware approves
Damn, Project WIngman's sequel do be looking different
Excellent stuff, man! I love the shots and scenery you showed in only two minutes. I could tell a lot of work and consideration went into this.
This guy thinks a short film is a "short" film, this is a masterpiece!
You really captured the weight of these mechs. Every movement feels satisfying to watch. Excellent job!
The Project Wingman OST goes PERFECTLY with this goddamn
Love the vibes of this. Absolutely adore the way they drop form orbit and the way they look like falling stars.
If this isn't how we fight in the future we failed.
Giant Mecha: the last technology milestone.
Proceed to fight with a sword, shield and an axe.
That Zaku stomping sound is soooo iconic
People of the mech communities we have eatin good this year
The dude riding his shield like a surfboard is the mood I would be in if I was dropping from atmosphere.
the atmospheric entry using shields as heat shields is so conventionally cool
Excellent work. This should be turned into a video game.
We need a series like this
The project wingman music works perfectly with this animation! You have done beautifully!
got damn, the heat hawk and the ibo gun look so smooth in this animation
this is basically when armor core and gundam combine its becoming absolutely master piece
Idk how you design these mechs but from just a glimps we can really tell they are a combination of Gundam design and AC design. You can combine them but still look obvius enough to tell, this is amazing!!!!
so... we're going from a gundam entry sequence to basically muv-luv in AC aesthetics to finish up in pretty much a Break Blade performance. love it :D
i could watch an entire movie of this, THAT WAS SO COOL MAN
my favourite part and thing is when that mech prepared to jump with the sword, i think the most awesome thing mechs can do is show it's mechanisms when they're about to do something even cooler
ANYWAYS THAT WAS AWESOME
damn that project wingman ost hit hard
That wouldn't be out of place if Lancer or Phantom Brigade got a show. Nicely done, especially for the weighty feel of the melee.
Project Wingman OST is the icing on the cake.
Gotta love the Zaku walking sound effect.
For a solo animation Project this is extremely well made. Good work, Genuinely good work.
No greater ASMR than the Zaku foot step sound effect. God i love it
Absolutely incredible work, with all my heart i hope this will blow up because it deserves a LOT of recognition
The mech design scream armored core, the fight scene scream gundam, loving it
Landing with heat shields like it's from Iron-Blooded Orphans. The charging part reminds me so much of my childhood watching the intro from Front Mission 4. The best part is keeping the camera on a unnamed pilot and their mech being all badass and competent, and then all of a sudden dying to someone else, subverting the usual expectation of that being introduction for a main character. Just grunt pilots vs. grunt pilots.
Also my favorite kind of mecha. The kind of mechs where a military force would widely use for their battles and so will others. Nothing too special from other mechs apart from quirks like being lighter or heavier, use a specific loadout, new and old generations, and so on.
Metal is back on the menu, boys!
The one with axe sounded like it had Gundam walk sound effects, and seems to be inspired of Zaku M01 or M02, but damn this was fire to watch.
The project wingman music is so perfect for this
Man, I love the reentry on a shield gundam style
The lovechild of Gundam and Armored Core and im so all for it!
This is one the best videos I've ever watched on youtube. It's so nice seeing japanese styled mecha too. This is just so perfect bro. Amazing work!
The manly urge to wield an Axe even in a mecha war
This. Is beautiful, looks like we are seeing the start of something truly great in animations
this is such a nod for the mecha genre, what a gift for mecha fans, thank you!
BIG BIG fan of your use of project wingman ost, amazing work. The ost used is the song is “active contract” for those wondering
Very well done indeed. The visuals, sound effects, music, it’s all great. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Ah yes, Armored Core "clankiness" with Gundam styled mech and Project WIngman's BGM blaring in the background. And that touch of ORANGE is *chefkiss*
the Project Wingman music fits great!
So hey netflix, want a famous complex series that is universally praised, virtually never had a remake since the 70s and has over the top cinematic action?
Amazing job, I think you convinced me that we could do a live action Gundam justice these days.
This was phenomenal!!! please continue!
Tons of IBO inspiration here
When i saw the name thought that this was about the Gunmetal video game and thought was new trailer suddenly. Didn't expect good little short film.
This looks so good! Amazing work!
It's kinda crazy how well Project Wingman's ost works with mechas, too.
Absolutely amazing. I'll echo what many others said, I love the mix of AC and Gundam here. The Zaku footstep sound effect was a great touch too. Love this.
This coming out after the release of Armored Core 6 is actually perfect. XD D D
Mannn I gotta Cook up some of mine now
Amazing work! Mind blowing that you accomplished this solo. I absolutely adore the designs.
This needs a full movie, great animation ❤, thank you for sharing
Coral, abide with Rubicon!
when you want grit and chaos of how war torn it is, nothing beats an ol' axe combat sequence and losing a limb, mecha staple 👏
There's just something about mechs using physical blades that i love since Iron-Blooded Orphans.
Love all the armored core references
I was afraid that it wouldn't have any weight to it but sheeesh man. you NAILED the heft these boys had while walking and them dropping into atmosphere was solid as all hel too.
Zaku running sounds, heat hawks, Armored Core aesthetics with no one being pushovers, this has it all! Awesome job
Project Wingman ost goes hard with sirens sheeesh
Well done!!
I love the sound of the running being the Zaku from Gundam, yet the whole film feeling much more like armored core with a extra pint of dexterity.
Great animation dude.
Mad props to ya.
Nice use of the classic Mobile Suit walking sound effect from Gundam.
This is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED. Not even a thousand subscribers and the quality is INSANE.
man so many amazing animations coming out, this is top tier great work 10/10
Was that one mech surfing during re-entry?? That's so awesome!
A Work of Art, it is perfect in every way, I want to congratulate you for the work with dedication, everything is possible, and I especially liked the animation sequence when the robot is running with the Shield, the animation is perfect, Greetings from Venezuela
nice colour tones to the world and the sounds of metal hitting is perfect!
Project Wingman music, badass ODST mecha space-drop, armored core mech skating and RIGHTEOUS melee combat. Its as if someone stole my dreams and turned them into an animation.
Not gonna lie, pretty cool stuff here.
love the sound design tbh, it gives so much depth and immersion
i LOVE this, it reminds me of many different games ive played like armored core, project wingman, and more
this has gotta be one of the highlights of the month for me.
the music fits very well too, it perfectly gives that feeling of a raid happening on a big facility that your either supposed to defend or attack. great job!
That’s because the music playing in the background is the song “active contract” from project wingman
Man, this is awesome! I thought this was an Armored Core fan film.
Dude, amazing work! keep it up man looks absolutely gorgeous. I think you can make it big!
This is some really great work! Excited to see you do more
This is like the perfect combination of Armored Core and Gundam iron blooded orphans. Keep up the top tier work!
Love the IBO orbital drop shield
0:37 now thats a Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans reference.
and... the rest are very Armoured Core reference
Marvelous! You must have put a lot of work into this piece and it has paid off.
Hell Yeah!! After AC6 all I see are mechs... I love it.
