Distance Sci-Fi Short Film 

Their ship broke apart...the guy was in the other part of the ship was her shipmate, she couldnt contact him before he found a way to leave the planet. Watch it again and pay attention.

Finally... Someone with a 'make sense thinking' as opposed to the 'ass kissers' here that cheer just by watching a fly take a dump... Cheap props suitable for a B- budget movie, bad acting too rushed and childish fit for a five year old tantrum and meaningless ending into a category 5 tornado type that this 'astronaut' could simply walk through without even a strand of her hair 'moving' or flapping in the wind... How does any of this make sense??

& the whole idea to this picture was ????????????? , ?????? .. ?????

I tend to agree. Dark stuff happened. As a friend of mine used to say, “And your point is?…”

He just came to talk.

Safer than Chicagostan.

Thanks Michael!

I had trouble understanding the accents especially of the computer and the man giving the science lesson.

why spoil it for the rest of us. a55 hol

I guess they missed the mental acuity and stress under pressure testing before lift off. He came back to be with that personality (her).....pfft..I'd rather be alone with rocks.

I agree not professional at all. DMV

@@glennparker5516 spoken like a true simp.

@@basedbear1605 That's Mr SIMP all caps to you B.B. Enjoy ur day

What? Did we watch the same short - pretty sure DID have a happy ending... 🤔

@@juliaconnell We must not have because the one I'm commenting on certainly didn't unless you're being morbid.

@@daviddamascus9657 no, not at all Just I have a different - perspective - than most people seem to have (most, not all...) Ok so the ship crashed - yes - the title is "distance" - re-read the quote at the start Physical distance - her part of the ship, a minor part, broke awake when they crashed - she is now stuck with a literal physical chasm between them - physical distance There is also visible distance - the conditions are very hostile - you cant SEE very far - she is relying on her technology - her scanners - to look for him, see if he is alive or not Her communications array is damaged - more DISTANCE - they cant communication (refer you back to the quote..) So she: Doesnt know if he survived the crash or not, there are many 'distances' between them Is running out of energy / life support - Even if she manages to get the chemical reaction going (restoring power & oxygen levels - giving her more time, more hope...) There is a major storm heading right for her - she is unlikely to survive Just as she has lost ALL HOPE - her communications array lights up - *he* has "fixed" the ship He doesn't know if SHE is alive She goes out into the storm (which us JUST beginning to hit) - against the advice of the AI / computer (telling her, her suit wont survive the storm - absoutely true - the FULL FORCE - lucky to survive *inside* but the storm is only just starting... She risks it, with her cracked helmet & all - to try to *communicate back* "distance" - quote... He takes off - he has "FIXED" the ship - "dont leave me" It appears that he does - It appears that he flew off - without her But THEN - he comes back !!! He lands the ship (is it a bumpy landing - yes - it's in the middle of a storm - it's a two person crew - he's alone.. He does NOT *crash* the ship - as many seem to think - just got it working enoutlrgh to breach the chasm, so they die together - NO! He FLEW OFF he came back You can see her broken communications array partly light up - all hope is gone - it - he - comes BACK Rough landing (NOT crash) Yes she survives the storm just starting - (slow - CAPTURUNG this moment when all hope was lost - prepared to die (you can see her give up - inside - before the poor communication from him...) - hoped again Risked everything - went out into the storm (he left "dont leave me") - he came back FLYING the "fixed" ship Yes - the communication from him WAS challenging to understand - another "distance" poor communication, lack of communication, misunderstandings Not just two people - humanity - (maybe I'm reading too much into this - maybe - the combined work of a bunch if creative talented people..) So he "fixed" the ship (her part was just a fragment - you can see it break away when they did CRASH onto this hostile environment) He FLEW AWAY on the "fixed ship" He came back - he came BACK - and rescued her - (she was in shock - expecting to die - savoring the moment - 'time stands still' at the end - storm only just starting - the AI/computer was right - even inside the shelter unlikely to survive when FULL STORM unleashed - but just starting So ship is "fixed" He came back and LANDED ( not crashed) the ship (Maybe impact so we - like her - know this is REAL - ) Happy ending

What is this happy that you speak of show me so that I may know😶

@@juliaconnell His point is they're both dead.... especially after he crashed the ship. He didn't rescue her, he doomed himself. Did you really miss that part of the story?

I second your impression. And add to it the lack of lead's emotional control in a situation where feelings must remain in check. Lastly, the music and background noise were too high and there was lack of credibility with respect to science and physics. This was just a drama somewhere in the universe, I guess.

Really? Oh done for the night explaining what I picked up from watching it once - from the sounds of it, you dont care - but I put a post up with what I THINK happened

We're all due an explanation for why most of the dialogue in nearly every one of these films in unintelligible mumbling and why the subtitling for even the few clearly audible bits is absolute rubbish...

Why "bittersweet" ?

visuals were fine for me. watch did you watch this on?

But ya girl only had medical tape when she was about to die of oxygen starvation

Lololololol clear tape that’s funny as heck I got a great laugh think about that lolol

Two more... Cheap Props

check check check check this movie swings and misses. Cool graphics though.

@@MrAgmoore You mean lazy CGI. As he said, there's a massive storm and she didn't even budge. So much wrong with this one it's not even funny.

It could've been worse she could have F A. R. T. E. D in her suit and blown herself up.

He didn't crash... He flew from the other side of the ravine to her side.. so that they would be together... She thought he would leave, but the guy did fly to her coz her part of the ship she was on is already failing... This is a love story... Love conquers all..

Turn on the Closed Captions , I do.

@@genesky61, 🔵 I would but for some reason my captions are quite often grossly inaccurate. Or just completely missing in places.

@@loverider367, 🔵....Thanx!

I don't think he crashed at the end - just a bit of a bumpy landing in the storm, with a damaged ship - if you go back the start, the bit she is in is small compared to the test of the ship - when it breaks off - when they both crashed - he manages to convey that he's fixed the ship (she think he leaves her cause he could find no sign of life & her communications array is down - just as she was looking for him, trying to work out if he was alive) - But he comes back - happy ending - they both get off that godforsaken rock That's my understanding anyways

For god sake! IT'S A STUDENTS PROJECT!

It´s in high end professional productions too :) it was more like a ngeneral observation :)@@solucaoatende

You have very low standards. I envy you.

@@Clystron426 not low standards. Just live when heart and soul goes into a project. I expect others to appreciate. A little respect is I’m sure human as well. Thank you.

"pretty amazing" for people with small minds and even smaller imagination... I don't share the "excitement", sorry..

Neither - at least that was my understanding - he managed to get the ship WORKING - and landed just time before the storm took full effect and before her power/life systems went out

Bottom of visor appeared not to be sealed to front of encounter suit anyway, so what was the point? Great looking little movie, no question, but so many plot holes it'd take longer than than the movie to list them all...

I thought it was on Dust ..

What do you mean - you think it had an UNHAPPY ending?

@@juliaconnell It appeared to me that her companion managed to lift off from the other side of the chasm, only to end up in a crunchy landing on her side. It felt like a crash landing to me, so even though they'll be together again, they're still both marooned on a hostile planet. If the filmmakers intention was to imply that they'll be able to escape their predicament, that was not communicated well enough. Even the closing plaintive music tells me things didn't go well...

@@MisterG2323 yeah it was a rough landing - the storm had just hit - doesnt mean the ship crashed (again!l Plus the shop had sustained some damage, and only had one crew member instead of two I honestly don't think it was a crash landing - now they're doomed to die there together He got the ship working again - the "distance" between them was closed (inability to speak, see - even know if the other one was alive or not - and yes communicate - all *distance* obstacles that were overcame He *flies AWAY* "dont leave me" she says - but then he comes BACK & lands the ship (in a storm) He LANDED the ship - just as she was about to run of energy/oxygen and big directly hit by a massive storm She SMILES at the end *happy* ending - at least that's my understanding

@@juliaconnell Fair enough. Perhaps eventually the director will weigh in on the subject. Cheers!

What? Why do you think they're dead at the end? He got the ship WORKING - he rescued her just before the storm hit - they both lived - happy ending

@@juliaconnell WHAT ARE YOU WATCHING?

@@ArielCotton the short film above - why do you think they're now both dead?

@@juliaconnell Um ma'am he crashed the ship lol. He only got the ship to do a jump to get to her, that ship is going nowhere on whats left and the fuel lol. Love you, hope this clarifies.

@@ArielCotton with respect, maybe you should watch it again - he didn't "jump" the ship over - he lifted off - he *flew* AWAY ... and then he came back to get her (yes, was bit of rough landing - storm setting in - not a crash, in his communication to her he says he "fixed" the ship) Yes SHE was running out of energy - she needed the energy for oxygen and to keep looking for him You see at the start that the section she was in broke away from the MAIN SHIP - nowhere does it even hint that the main ship is low on fuel End of the day - all creative endeavours are open to interpretation - this is my understanding of what happened - if you still dont agree - plenty of room in world for both versions, peace 😘

That's ozy mate 😂🤸🤸🤸🤸

There was a ship with two people on it - it crashed - the captain was on the main part of the ship - The planet/moon they landed on was very hostile - their communications were down, the visibility was negligible so they could not SEE if the other person was still alive - and there was a physical chasm separating her from searching further afield - so she was relying on scanners She was running out of power and therefore life support / oxygen Meanwhile, on the other side of the chasm he managed to fix the ship (her was only a fragment that broke away during the crash He could communicate enough with her to let her know he had fixed the ship and needed to know if she was still alive She went out into the storm to try & communicate back She saw him take off - thought he had left without her He landed the ship before the storm got too powerful and rescued her

I THINK tthe lack of communication was deliberate - the title is "distance" they were separated by a literal chasm - the inability to SEE if the other was alive - AND the *inability to communicate* across communication array

"Two drawbacks"? I lost count at a lot higher number than that... Very nice SFX, though...

I feel the same way - took me a while to work out what was going on - but MY understanding of what happened seems to be quite different to others - not the first time it has happened (or second - or.. let's just say it happens a LOT). you might like the two channels I'm subscribed to (if you're not already) Dust (also sci-fi) & Omeleto - (varied shorts) Apart from the awesome content, the film makers often are in the comments section when freshly uploaded (Which has been useful at times - I go - I think THIS was intended - or I read THAT into this - other people argue with me - say I'm wrong - the film maker says - yes - that is what was intended - and people are STILL saying I'm wrong afterwards (in the same thread) - go figure - people are strange 😂 (Not that I'm always right - far from - 🤣)

@@juliaconnell A kindred spirit! Hello my wonderful friend! I watch Dust and Omeletto both. I like picking up extra subtle threads, sometimes not intended but those influences the makers will agree are there, or not. Lol. If we all only saw things from one perspective we would miss out on a lot of good in life. ♡

@@ivechang6720 wise words my friend - wise words - completely agree - we each have our thoughts, and our thought processes - have boring life would be if we are thought the same way

Yeah you're the special boy. Or wait.. no you're not. You're just some dude that liked a terrible short film.

@@basedbear1605 Oh dear, you sound out of sorts. We are all special because we are different.

What an absolute load of *crap* 😘

and you didn't notice when she took off the helmet, it didn't attach to anything, meaning there were no connections to the suit. We were shown that the bottom of the helmet is all open, then it turns out why this is so, because she sealed the glass so that the oxygen does not come out, lol) jamb))

@@katyadancer5086 It was a bad effort surrounded by terrible attention to detail.
