Mayday - Sci-Fi Drama Short Film 

The acting is par EXCELLENCE!!! And the set design with its attention to scenery detail that is very retro, ala Buck Rogers with modern equipment, is on the level of cinematic artistry to the Nth Degree to say nothing of the writing and directing. Everyone involved should be proud of the end result that is a Sci- Fi MASTERPIECE!!! 😀👍👍👍👍👍

Now I understand why you need a whole crew in space.

Really enjoyed this short film. The story was simple and easy to follow. I really enjoyed the actors performance in the film. It was nicely made and really enjoyed the short

More PLEASE❤

This guy is so ill prepared. This isn't a drive across town. First he has plenty of warning of the proximity of a dangerous object and takes ZERO evasive action. Second, he knows so little about his ship. The ship that he is totally dependant on for survival. Really? Then last of all, he runs out of oxygen and nearly passes out before he does anything about it. He came really close to earning a well deserved Darwin Award.

Nice on so many levels.

For a second I thought he had locked himself out of the ship after fixing the engines. :)

A SciFi short with a happy ending?? That's amazing. Thank you, so well done. Great acting too.

Ah yes, the old wheelnut problem, but in a spacecraft engine. Thing is, while a car needs four wheels to drive, a spacecraft will still move with even just one engine, so no idea why he was stopped. Which neatly brings me to the next problem. If your engines fail in space, you don't stop. You will just keep on going at the same speed you were going forever. I could go on, but these were the main problems with the scenario. Now as for the acting, I'm not sure what he's chewing here 07:15 , but he's making the exact same face I make when my sister cooks, and my mom forces me to act like it's delicious, to spare her feelings. It's torture, and sometimes I think she's just deliberately trying to poison me. Not sure why he's so upset, but I do know airplane food can be very bad, so I'll forgive him for that.

In most if not all cases, once a rocket reaches its cruising speed, the engines will shut off, and the rocket will go forward at that cruising speed practically indefinitely because spade is a vacuum for practical purposes. So videos that show exhuast coming out of the back of the rocking are nonsence except when the rocket is leaving earth (or a similar planet or asteroid, or when it need to speed up or maneuver.

This was a great movie! I thought he had locked himself out for a minute there. Love the ending.

Man almost dies to space debris, litters and makes more space debris

That was incredibly jarring when he suddenly starts talking for seemingly no reason

It’s looks like a battlestar galactica viper

So well done for a one person cast, nice job!

Loved it!! Loved the cockpit set u built. Another amazing short.

Nice adventure, the soundtracks were spot on.

Viper? Galactica?

Looks like a Viper.

Like a constipated mathmatician, he eventually worked it out with a pen. How he ever got on a space programme with his aptitude for general ineptitude beggars belief and probably baffles science.

I figured it out. This vid won all these awards for having the most scyfy cliches and anachronistic tech! Still, The Outer Limits laughs at this.

Nicely done. Appeared he locked himself out after fixing the engine.

This shows airplane instruments. There's no horizon, no up or down, there's not even speed, there's just velocity relative other objects.

This is DUST material

Another criticism 4k tv's show wooden sets. Ps his hair should be floating. No artificial gravity.

Show! All of us, we need a very relevant reference that strengthens us!

hope you make many more...is fun....thanx

That was cool. Great job to u and your team

I thought in space there was no up or down so what's the altimeter for?

Great Job! Agf! It's like my Ol' Lady's alarm clock. Wake up from dream being ducked out into vacuum of Space

My only gripe about these short film vids, why do the make the music so loud?

Why is he in a Viper

Wouldn't mind copy of the soundtrack for the earth vehicle :)

Very good. Loved i was waiting for something terrible to happen to him outside the cockpit. Only complaint the atmosphere didnt feel like he was in space.

I like it. Nice job by everyone involved. Australian? Seems like a lot of good stuff coming out of there recently.

Great atmosphere and minimalist set. Only complaint was that the background was too static: a slowly rotating starfield / binary star would have provided the same sense of isolation and a touch more realism. Aside from that, very polished short.

Why so far from help in such a small, unprotected ship? 😮 A gripping tale. So well done! 🤗👍 M 🦘🏏😎

..., couldn't send a "MAYDAY" (or report to HQ!) via communications system? Wasted too much time, effort & energy getting in & out of space suit a couple times! That's not survival protocol! He should have had prior emergency, (plan "B"), training per such emergency scenarios!

Um, that spin could not have caused by that impact and release.

Is it me or is this video in the beginning all screwy? Wasn't sure if that's the desired affect, or if my internet is screwing with the picture or something,.

He deserved to be stranded in space for his unprofessional inaction to avoid a collision. Any professional pilot would have turned immediately. I don't like dark scenes when not warranted. I thumbed it up because it was a good plot otherwise.

those beeps are annoying.

Battle star Galactica space ship? Copy right? Was he the lost screw up from battle star Galactica?

if you don't have the budge to do this ... please don't.

Needs a hair cut!!!

...really??!! He f**ked up 20% of oxygen before started to think how to fix the situation? I doubt he is a pilot, rather teenager, that stole dad's ship for riding! Filmed well, actor's play is great, but the story is a shit...

Ok, around 13:50 it seems he gives up ready to die in space, next thing he is back in the cockpit and on his way, I don't understand.

I can't see the logic or reasoning for using a Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper for the ship. With all the different Sci-Fi model kits out in the wild, "Kit-Bashing" should have been used to make the ship. Just a suggestion. Good plot but, it seems like plagiarism using the BSG ship. You have the smarts to write a good movie. Next time, take it the step further and put 100% of you and your imagination in it.

Wasted too much film and time on his emotional state.

YAY! Another pile of implausible cliches start to finish. I promise myself to stop hoping any of these sorts of videos will have any brains or even novelty.

Slow moving. Lots of fake mechanics and pseudo engineering which mean nothing to the viewer. Speaking parts hard to hear. Not worth the time to watch.
