S.Y.N.C. (A VRChat Short Film) (2022) 

Fantastic choreography! Very impressive how you produced this VRChat film with just yourself as the body actor. You're like the Monty Oum (RWBY, Rooster Teeth) of VRChat haha. Best of luck to your future projects!

Now, this is exactly what's full body tracking is for. So excited for more.

Never have I ever seen a vrchat short film until now. It's good. The choreography is good. The fight scenes flowed well. It looked like it was actually happening. The main character, which I presume is you, kinda sounds like Leon. The voice acting is great. The suspense, the thrill, the unknowing of what could happen at every turn. It's great that you can tell what the characters are thinking without actually hearing the words. The visible confusion, or rather, it's like the character silently saying, "How's that going to help"? when Genie says "Don't die". The music adds to the greatness of this. I think it's fantastic when the main character pulls out his swords like the hidden blades from Assassins Creed. Again, I can't stress this enough, the animations look like actual game cutscenes. It's so good.

Seen this a few times already but just wanted to say, WELL DONE! The cinematics, choreography, sound effects, and overall production are fantastic!

beautiful! bravo! bravo! "and the crowd goes wild!" cried the announcer as hundreds of thousands of pleased audience members cheered their lungs out in pure joy.

I love how they added a bunch of different ronotic sona species like the synth

ngl I was expecting the worst it being vrchat and all that but THIS IS REALLY GOOD! Funny and good quality for what it was performed in, really cool!

Very impressed with the body acting here bro! Did an excellent job with choreography. Can tell a lot of heart went into this. A prequel or sequel would be awesome

I have to agree that the choreography was amazing! It must have been incredibly difficult getting the timing and position of all those moves just right. The acting and dialogue wasn't shabby either. Great job. Really sets a standard for others to live up to.

When i saw S.Y.N.C i thought it stands for: sacrifice your newborn child

8:24 "Children are cruel Alpha, and I'm VERY in touch with my inner child."

genie has sass, i love his character.

This is beyond amazing, the camera work, the fight choreo, the acting!! The narration!! Like, you pulled out all the stops and it shows, it’s brilliant!!

How does this not have a million views? This is the best film I've seen filmed in vrc, the camera angles are so good!

“I said skill issue!”- top ten moments before disaster

That fullbody kicking in and omg NKD Body on the Commputer screen while Alpha is an NCD

11:05 genie :sounds like a sk [static] alpha: what was that? genie: I SAID [static] SKILL ISSUE

love the work I can't wait to see your future films!

Excellent short film! Definitely worth the wait and I loved watching the process of it all coming together over on Twitter! The choreography was excellent as many have said, but I do think the pacing and timing between each move was inconsistent and didn't quite flow naturally. A way you could fix this for future projects is cut down the amount of time characters look at each other when one falls down (no more than 3 seconds) and such or speed up the footage, otherwise it feels like both are just a bit too idle and simply waiting, you'll also want it to be close matching to the tempo or beat of the music to have more of an audience impact. Obviously, this is much more difficult in VR so that's why it's already very impressive you were able to utilize all the tools/mods we had during the filming of this. The voice acting was excellent in the calm areas, but could use a bit more emotion/exaggeration during fight scenes, would need to sound like heavily breathed or exerting energy considering all the fast movements, make sure you're VA's take the exercises to achieve this level of believability in their voice work. That being said, the audio levels of the voices were a bit inconsistent, I had to turn up my volume a couple times during Alpha and the Rex's low speaking parts, and back down again during Genie's lines being much louder, try to target a certain db audio level for voices, I find the best to be around -8db and work everything else from there. The foley, sfx, ambience and music were excellent! That can be a long and tedious process but it really payed off in this short! While I absolute LOVE choice based videos/games, the cutoff with the quote felt very abrupt and took my attention away for a couple seconds. I understand it as a way to influence the choice we make a bit, but I feel it would be much more earned and appropriate at the end of each choice to give the viewer something to think about, words for thought after they've watched. Sorry to sound like a college professor, just wanted to give personal feedback so that your next project is even better than this one! This short film was very well done and incredible to see! Be proud of yourself and everything you've done for this project! The hard work definitely paid off and I enjoyed it quite a lot! Even found myself to laugh at most of the jokes! Amazing work my dude! 💙💙💙

I wasn't able to check the freezeframe by myself, but I've seen things made with friends and they were cool. But this... I wasn't aware you could actually use it like this, clearly you used it the best way possible and it came out excellent !. The technicism you put into each scene, the camera angles and the movements around are well executed and professional looking. Good job indeed, much soul

Holy crap, this is GOOD ! That came to my recommandations rather randomly but it was worth it ! Between the good humor, the well done fights and the cinematic as a whole, this is so enjoyable Lore wise, it's really interesting, and I like the take you gave on it, as well as the multichoise end original and undertaining And it's quite crazy how that was done in VR too Overhall, really liked it, and I bet I'm far from being the only one here

for something made in VRC this is god tier, at no point I was bored. this is the type of shit that appears in my dreams lmao. So to see it come to life is fantastic.

Holy shit this is amazing, the choreography is impressive and I felt pretty engaged with the characters I like how genie is like A typical troll while alpha is an anime protag Overall I really think it's awesome I imagine it was a lot of fun to make too haha

I wanna know HOW THE HELL did you make this in vrchat, this is INSANE! Very well done!

This is a masterpiece! Every shot gave me the feel of thrill and excitement chills going down my spine waiting to see the next move. All the acting was amazing for the fight scenes they were incredibly, I can see that this may become something bigger then it already is in the future and I can't wait to see it. Amazing Job Legend keep at it.

This could not be less than a masterpiece... THIS IS THE GREATEST FILM KNOWN TO MAN!

High quality right there. Great job !

I JUST STARTED LOOKING AT THIS AND OML THATS A SUPER GOOD VRCHAT AVATAR OF A PROTOGEN-

GADAMN, THIS IS EVERYTHING I WANTED WHEN I SAW THE TITLE

This is wonderful I look forward to seeing all the things you make in the future friend.

I loved this film, I have always wanted to make my own, and this has further proved that it is possible. Thank you. I love all the characters, the angles, the fight scenes. I really have no more words that could describe my amazement, or inspiration. I love it. S.Y.N.C. for the win! Also, Alpha has some more adventures to endure and I’m excited to see them.

Just saw it. It's very impressive that it feels like a real movie. It flowed well, there was mystery, is very fun to watch. Also, it was intentionally funny. Since 2018 I've been on VR chat on and off, and I didn't think we'd progress so fast into Ready Player One territory. But I think in five more years with post rendering enabled, we might be changing the animation industry. 😮

This better become a new genre this is TOO AWSOME to ignore!!!

This was flickin' insane! Loved the voice acting!

new subscriber here i love when people make good movies out of games like you did here keep up the epic work STAY AWESOME!

A true friends words”SOUNDS LIKE A SKILL ISUE”

Bro I love things like this because you get to pit what the ending is!!❤❤

omg what thats genuinely impresive

The way he said "hey hey, back up" bros really threatened

Awesome film!

This. Is. Amazing. During the first fight scene, I kept screaming, "GRAB THE KNIFE! JUST GO FOR IT!" You know how to make a thrilling story. (You earned a sub and this is the first video of yours I've seen.)

Amazing choreography! This is absolutely awesome and I'm thoroughly impressed

Easily the coolest short film I've ever seen. Nice job with the choreography, looks realistic for VrChat

Holy cow! This is an amazing action movie. Great stunt and fighting performance! I enjoyed this movie. It's really cool to have two different endings. Thank you for adding the burned-in/opened caption. It definitely helped me to understand the whole movie better because I am Deaf and I do rely on subtitles all the time. Good job!

me and my friend watched this in VRC this morning; very well done, thank you for all the effort you all put into this

Metal Gear Solid backdrop nice touch it works well with this story

This is amazing. It’s one of the best. Yt short films I’ve seen

This is so friggin awesome man! That’s the MGS first level isn’t it haha so cool. Alpha is pretty badass haha I love it! Full body tracking an vr chat I really need to get into it haha

Best movie I've seen the fight scenes were the best part 😮

There’s about only two voice actors and they still managed to get an amazing performance bravo

THAT WAS FIRE

absolutely incredible

Damn, wasn't expecting to see a Chimera Eclipse in one of these. Glad to see that they are starting to pick up traction!

I was searching for "Cute Toaster," and the next thing I knew, I found myself here. The algorithm works in mysterious ways.

This is so friggin dope i love it

This is SO GOOD YOU DID WELL :DDD we all wish you will be the GREATEST actor in history

omg i love the design that alpha has, the carbon fiber look is so cool, huge props to you amazing work

This is what I waited for!

me when i saw that guard and recognised his armor as the civil protection units for hl2: OMG CIVIL PROTECTION UNIT!!!!!

I watched this last night while at the VRC New Years 2023 world, and I have to say. The amount of time and effort put into this cinematic masterpiece is not only striking and pleasing to watch; but the choreography is insanely impressive! Phenomenal, even! I couldn't stop watching it for a second. The music choices were a lovely touch to the fight scene. It added suspense and was just all-around eye-catching! This is what inspires me to want to do things like this! And I'm waiting for that chance! Phenomenal job! Excellent presentation! You did well! 🎊 You're earned yourself a subscriber! Have a Happy New Year! 😊

This is SUPER Underrated

it's super well done for VRchat ! Like, that thing isn't made for something like that at all, and still that render surprisingly well ! And the concept of "choosing your end" at the end is only possible on RU-vid or in a video game ! Superbe use of your medium ! I'm a big fan of it ! I would love to see other like that !
