Alien Dimension (GH5 Short Film) Sci-Fi The son of an angry father discovers an alien device that was left behind and finds himself trapped in an abandoned world.
Yes. His father likely eventually felt the loss and died brokenhearted. Also I should note I think he traveled in time, thru a vortex worm hole? ,right back to earth, but unrecognizable because of mass extinction from ELE.
Great premise, but could definitely needed some more rewrites. You're brave to go ahead and put this out there and give it a go though. More than I have done.
Alien tech with English instructions. That's handy. I won't talk about the night light. Still this short movie was admirable, I imagine it was made with 0 money and lots of passion. I actually watched the whole thing, so I can't complain, well done, well done indeed.
I think he did time travel to a distant future time, a dystopian earth with mostly extinct life. So, of course, everything would be in English and his father would be long dead. It would be cool if he found his old residence before the cataclysmic event.
This was very clever, good work. Thanks for listing all the gear you used. It demonstrates how creativity is not solely reliant on the most expensive tools and big crews.
Brilliant bit a cosmic horror sci Fi. So many different scenarios to look at this from which we love. Wonder just what became of the alien & ship , did it have the same experience or are we looking at it as it came so far it's also alone ,we don't really know . Damn shame he wasn't smart enough to one go back to where he saw the sip land & what got out & two he waited far to long to give the thing to his asswipe old dad before it was to late plus he got greedy in his revenge which promptly backfired in a bad way but at least this time seems he's not alone. Great job to all that worked hard to make one heck of strange journey.
I tried to hate on this short, but I actually really enjoyed it. Bro not slimming down at all after a year of scrounging kind of took me out of it tho.
I really enjoyed this film. Especially when it's a family made film he royaly scrawed himself when made it for ten years. I kept saying why doesn't he try to find a house not to beaten up.. I hope you do more like this one. Thank you
Really nice work. Working with your father would have been awesome, I'm sure! Man, you have some killer locals and the GH5 did such a great job to complement the eerie and beautiful scenery. Series maybe? Any hoo Bravo!
Always some unanswered questions : Does he wash his clothes? How is his dad doing? Is his father alive still? Is his father alone or in a convalescent post acute care medical center? Is his mother dead or convalescent? What about the alien device origin and purpose? Any way to get back home? Or is he home in the distant future?
Great Film Benjamin. It was good to know you shot this film in parts of SC. I am in western NC so sort of close to me. Look great with a beard by the way.
Loved this story about the angry old hobbit and his impulsive, bald son. And it could've been worse...I was expecting the older hobbit to accidentally arrive in the alien dimension at the last moment. How badly would that suck...still, there's gotta be good eating on the old fella for a few months, right?
Old man initially probably said to himself "Good Riddence!!" Later dad regretted thinking that because we humans have to be careful what we ask for because it might come true.
@@mandielouThe old man rotting? or his food supply? The refrigerator food will rot but dad could just buy more. Mean dad got his wish when his unemployed son made his unintentional escape. Time Vortex Worm Hole sent son to future post APOCALYPSE Earth.
It would have been a real twist of ironic fate if both of them got transported to that same dimension, enduring the "same shit, different day" ordeal for 10 years, and it's gonna be really just the two of them, each one trying to murder the other. Oops, I just gave away a magnificent story idea. 😉
What crazy dad!!!😂😂 Goes around punching his son when he doesn't like what's said. Throwing magazines around all pissed off all the time. Lol crazy!!!😂😂👍
Really great premise, and awesome story. I could see a second part or a really fleshed out story with a deeper plot. My only complaints is the delivery of lines that feels forced and out of character. Takes away from the feeling of the movie. No offense to you but the film would benefit from hiring a solid lead actor.
2:47 Очень не обычно смотрится кадр ! Набегающие волны , движущаяся картинка и бегущий , всё в разных скоростях , мне понравился этот момент !) 19:20 Что то картинка отзеркалена ..
Man no way, the same exact thing happened to me, I caught them doing something, and they have a house that they all meet up at, they are amongst us as we speak, I know what I saw, and I can't explain it and it wasn't normal
No😂 Post APOCALYPSE Earth. Raid people's homes cupboards for food then bury food and supplies at landmarks. Why no backpack to put food. And why no change of clothes to camouflage colors and hiking boots?? Where are the dead people clothing?? I feel real bad for Russia Ukraine conflict. Humans killing Humans. And now 2024 Iran vs. Israel!! Why??
#1 I don't condone violence, but in this case I think Jr. needs to open a can of Whoop-ass on the old man! lol #2 without even realizing it, I watched the whole movie with SOMA-FM radio's Drone Zone channel playing in the background.the combo of the movie and the haunting music of the Drone Zone were PERFECT together! Give it a try!
I'm sorry, man. I know this took a huge amount of effort and you should be proud of yourself for having done it, but my suspension of disbelief broke at Day 351. You gave us hints that this is in Maine, first by the old man's coffee mug, then by him specifically identifying the bird calls as loons. I grew up in northern New Hampshire. Knowing a loon call is incredibly specific to the northeast. You didn't give any indication that he was teleported to a different geographical location. If my man landed at "mid summer" in Maine then day 351 is in the middle of October, and there is no way in creation anyone is spending any amount of time outdoors in mid October in Maine in short sleeves. Hell if he's up in Caribou he's lucky there isn't snow on the ground. Props, though, for paying attention to his hair growth. That's the one detail I was looking for at Day 256. These are just my thoughts. I am envious that you actually made something. Congratulations on completing it.
I understand what you were saying, as far as weather and the timeframe but also, if it is another dimension seasons, in real life, may not be the same as seasons there. Just saying
@@HDR_America not likely another" dimension" with recognizable objects, like a Campbell's soup can with nutrition labeling, as well as English graffiti. I guess using the term "alternate reality" might make more sense.
@@bjb7587 to be honest I don’t know why I didn’t just rip the label off. One of those things you learn as you make more films I guess. Thanks for the feedback.
I am left with many questions, such as the connection between the aliens and the abandoned world, why alien tech uses English text, how the Trapped Man survived a year with just a plastic fork ... but I will leave all that aside and offer one suggestion : "Show, don't tell." If you have not encountered this principle of writing -- and especially screen writing -- then you soon will. For example, don't TELL us through narration that food is scarce and the Trapped Man keeps a secret cache of food; SHOW us by showing (un-narrated) scenes of him finding mostly-empty stores and kitchen cupboards, expressing through acting his growing frustration, and SHOW us him at the end of the day at a secret cache of food, clearly running low, with an anxious look on his face. Many other things could be shown, instead of told. You almost got there with the scene of him throwing stones into the lake; if you removed the narration and if that scene had been preceded by several other scenes showing us his situation and his inner struggle (is he thinking of ending it? show him atop a building roof, hesitating at the edge, peering over, and let his acting, facial expressions, the sound design, and the camera work indicate that he is contemplating a way out ...), then the visuals of the lake scene just as they were would have aptly conveyed the idea that he goes to the lake to toss in pebbles for a moment of quiet acceptance. I see a firm foundation here, and I encourage you to keep at it, and hone your skills through more and more projects.
Thank you for the feedback on this. Trust me I wanted to do so much more with this. Working a full time job 50 hours a week with only me to do all the work. I have no crew, no actors and no help. This took me 3 months to make and I was afraid this one film would have taken 2 years if I didn’t find a few short cuts but I am seeking a crew and actors for my next one because that was extremely difficult to do all by myself. I appreciate the advice and I will take that advice. Thank you
Well, I had once been gone for 3 yrs.....when I returned it was exactly where I was before and like I was never ever gone....not even a minute. Somehow....someway I was transported to another planet, I think....... of other humans speaking English & more advanced than Earth--they reached Interstellar capabilities, yet not universal so.... and they took great care of me and I made good friends. Too much more to tell than space given here. I do not care if anyone believes me or not. It happened to Earth others because I met a few when there. I wish to go back and stay.
Antone else notice the JET stream in the sky where no one else was supposed to exist at 12:43?? Plus he has REALLY slow growing beard AND HAIR. PLUS why DIDN'T HE STAY IN THE TOWN WHERE THE RADIO TOWER WAS? There WAS a house right next door.
