Quantum entanglement. With today's ideas about physics, the instantaneous communications seem possible, actually.

extinct but educated (at last)

Yep

I think that was AI speaking

They killed everyone sending them in ships full of failures instead of returning them, I mean if they had hyperdrive and comms that reached earth in seconds why not return to fix the ships lol.

Remember "The Big 5 "events?maybe we are the last one to face extinction..

better than justice league

@@songyani3992 yeah lol

I agree the fumbling to open the helmet gave it away for me. Which may have been the point but I would have saved it for the end.

Could have showcased more ambassadors so at least we would have to guess which one was going to be revealed. But I guess that would be a feature length film. Good short anyway.

Wow I loved it so interesting keep up the great work I'd love to be part of this with you if ever needed more people

The retro look and emotional stimulation...on point.

Depends on how u define 'living'. Personally digitized info is not considered to be alive.

@@armastat DNA is information, as long as this information is transmitted, copied and recombined, a species has the potential to be reborn and spread again.

@@TheZapan99 As long as its digital its not LIVING. that was the point you missed apparently.

You may be right. One detail RU-vid compression won't show you is that on the wall when they enter it does say it's only one of multiple levels of the museum. So who knows what else is in there. Thanks for watching!

@@armastat Thousands of people alive today come from frozen eggs and sperm, sometimes even small embryos revived during in-vitro fecondations. At one point they were all frozen cells kept in tanks, yet today they are real people, not different from you and me. But those gametes are expensive to maintain in liquid nitrogen. Therefore, if humanity was facing extinction, DNA would be sequenced and stored in digital form. The only reason we don't do that today is because our computer storage capacity is still limited, but a day will come where digital DNA will be equivalent to organic samples. This would make no difference for an alien species, that would still not consider our species as extinct, as long as they could read our DNA, even is no live specimen was to be found on Earth.

Thanks for your kind words and watching the film! We're happy it reached you!

Wait a minute, Human beings went extinct, and the planet is destroyed, that’s a scary concept

*ad

Not as easy as it seams to come off as "natural" without it seeming totally forced.

@@tecwzrd That's the problem with inexperienced actors, trying to act normal will never come across as normal. Just be normal instead, The best actors in the business try to find parts of their roles they identify with themselves and then just go with it.

Micah Fischer hi is this Micah from Lynden? If so tell Rene Kathy says hi!👋🏻think CRH showers lol.. the acting was a little stilted but it was probably our future if we don’t blow up before that🌎

My brother who took a film making course, could make a better 10 minute short film than this.

Makes me cringe. But its awesome work. And makes me appriciate hollywood actors more

Anxious Panda aye that’s i got here brother

Anxious Panda sme here

Same here!

Proof that ads are not just a waste.

Still hate ads

Doesn’t need a sequel. People asking for unnecessary sequels cause the death of many studios/franchises reputations.

@DoubledEdgeSword321 Was that directed at me, friend? I think you're mistaken - I'm not a science denier, oil-greedy, nor a Trumpublican "fear and hate" crowd. I simply appreciate the film for what it is, and would like to see a sequel, or prequel.

@DoubledEdgeSword321 No problem! A simple misunderstanding.

Question, was your ad for funeral planning service too?

Thanks for your kind words and for watching. We're very happy you've enjoyed it!

But aliens can give solutions. even if they can't help.

Wow, great feedback! Thanks for watching and letting us know you enjoyed it!

Great to hear you liked it and hope you enjoyed living in The Netherlands. Thanks for watching!

@@openfilmteam9745 I enjoyed living in the Netherlands very much.

That was indeed Dutch! I living in the Netherlands.

Do they count like that?

@@georgewillems32 Do you count like that?

I didn't see it coming :)

Thanks for watching and your feedback. Honestly, that was partly a concious effort. We'd rather put the clues in and have some people figure it out early than putting no clues in and making the ending come out of nowhere. Though the twist can be a lot of fun if you don't see it coming, we don't think that's the most important part of the story. Great job for figuring it out!

I also guessed Rene was the remaining "alien", for this same reason. The ending would've been better if it wasn't so predictable

Yeah it was kinof, but still good

I didn’t see it coming

Nice plot twist, thanks for watching!

position....extra crispy...well done.

@@otiscarter1356 cloudy with a chance of.... fried ambassador?

Well medium ... Well

More than done, chrispy

Thanks for watching and letting us know what you thought of it!

No matter what their budget was you can't make up for they're acting

@@mylandunsen their acting was pretty bad overall. Story wasn't well written either. Why would ships only have one person operating it across galaxies? Why weren't other pilots told about the failures? If hyper-drives are prevalent to send people all over the galaxy, then why not continue humanity on an earth like planet elsewhere?

Micah Fischer Right, like what would be the point of finding another species to help us from the planet we destroyed just so we can help them destroy their planet.... Doesn’t make a lot of sense.... I think it would be better if we decided to go colonize a habitable that is unoccupied by intelligent life. We need to learn from our own mistakes on a different planet before we decide to introduce ourselves to another intelligent species as, “Planet destroyers...” And not even the powerful type of planet destroyers.... We are planet destroyers simply because we live.... We would anyone want to help a species that could so easily be stop from destroying planets if all they have to do is simply wipe them out...

It's so good! Thanks

How big of a mass were they able to move with one drive? It may have been the best solution, especially if they were exceptionally risky.

@@dreadpiratewest6058 pretty sure trial and error could have helped perfect it. And even then it would've been easier to send out colony ships

@@YOLO-tq3el Or non-boarded ones with only community technology perhaps. It wouldn't make the story as it turned out possible though.

Maybe alcubier drives could have been used

Considering how reliable the hyperdrives seemed to be it may sense. But on the other hand they must have had good enough sensor systems to find habitable planets.

Great to hear, thanks! And we will!

Also you could learn to speak Dutch, I have lost most of the Dutch I could speak when I worked in the Netherlands but I reckon a month and I'd be ok again. It's an easy language for a Highlander to speak because Gaelic has a lot of the same sounds Dutch has of course.

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching and letting us know!

Unfortunately life can exist only within very narrow tolerances. Technological ability does not change that.

@@kdrapertrucker All life depends on the functioning of natural systems. Once destroyed you cannot adapt them back into existence.

@C caymer propganda for what?

@C caymer which is why the RU-vid algorithm is serving it up.

@C caymer Bullshit. It's simply a movie made by Dutch film students showing their shit and doing it very well. So well in fact, it's got its very own tuppence hapenny conspiracy theory. Fucking propaganda? No, it's just a fucking student showcase Must be hideous not being able to enjoy innocent creativity. A fucking nightmare in fact. Poor you

I knew I'd find this comment somewhere in here! Stellaris!

I came across earth that was still stuck on earth. Kind of funny since I was playing as a militaristic human empire that was super advanced and became one of the most powerful empires in the galaxy but couldn't conquer them since they were surrounded on all sides by an empire slightly stronger then me and a fallen empire

That mission control definitely sounds Australian. Nah, it'll be fine mate...

There would've been no movie then. They had to create a silly story to film something 😅

Great to hear, thanks for watching!

I know...10000+ files to stand there and review? I was thinking about when everyone at the diner table is ready to leave, the waitress asks if anyone would like dessert...theres always that one guy who says "id like to see the dessert menu" ^_^

I did not get the aim of the movie. So he was rescued and reved up by an ET civilization...he went back to the crash point who knows, decades or centuries later, that's why he wanted to see all about hus past life on Earth...this is all about this movie is???

Blue aliens: "Ah man c'mon WTF this wasn't part of the deal, there aren't even any chairs here."

@@bobsnow6242 darn i guess those helmet chair combos were a great idea after all

Sophia Hovius I wish I was part of the crew :)

@Easliy Displeased I am really curious how you would make the movie better! Note, it has to be possible with a really small budget ;)

@@FlamingoVlogs Yeah it would be nice to be part of the crew indeed! I was part of the cast myself, because I just like that more. Next time you should watch the site for an opportunity to become a member of the crew! ;)

@Easliy Displeased The name checks out. It's a sci-fi short film, there's no reason to expect AAA Blockbuster quality. I thoroughly enjoyed this short film.

@@sophiahovius3665 , 8:35 twisted belt on left shoulder

@tech 52 Oh I see, like you got your "men" and then you get your "oh woe is me men". Wonder why they don't just spell it woemen. Then everybody is back on the same page.

​@@realitycheck3363 Though your confusion is understandable with the current climate around such words, Tech 52 understood the film right. The word 'men' has meanings other than just the plural of man. It may also refer to a group consisting of people of both genders (as humans does). This is even more the case in this scene as the Major saying it comes from a military background. In the military, it's particularly common to refer to (mixed) troops as 'men'. In the vocabulary of a military man, not only is it a term referring to both men and women, but to specifically those men and women that serve (under them). We're happy to see most people understand it to mean all under his command, even if they don't conciously know the word men has that literal meaning.

WoMEN

You wanna be upset about it, be upset at the asshats that redefined the meaning of 'man'. about 6-7 centuries ago to be exclusionary. Did you know there is at least one known historical legal document that states something to the effect of: 'To my daughter, who is a man, I leave my estate'. Unless you're going to posit some weird gender confusion the meaning of that should be obvious. 'man' in this context has no gendered implication whatsoever - it refers to someone who is a legally responsible adult. More messed up words: 'he' was originally gender neutral. Hence why the bible refers to God as 'He', which carried no gendered implications originally, but does retroactively due to the shift in meaning. 'woman' and 'she' are dubious terms created right during the shift away from 'man' and 'he' being neutral terms, and carry the implicit implication of females (oh look another such word) being 'other'. Did you notice by the way that the period following this shift in language also coincided with a gradual decline of the legal rights of women, until they eventually could no longer own property of their own and were not considered people for legal purposes? (a male relative was considered their legal guardian - father, brother, husband, etc.) I bet you're wondering how we referred to male and female before this shift? Well, the archaic terms have their own problems, given that they are wepn and wyf respectively (and yes those words are what they sound like) While we're at it... 'girl' referred to ANY child whatsoever, and was also neutral. (also it was common practice for children to wear dresses no matter whether they were male or female. This continued until fairly recently. There's childhood pictures of US president Roosevelt wearing dresses as a boy - also pink was a colour for boys and pale blue for girls up until about 1930 or so...) 'boy' originally had nothing to do with sex or gender and was a specific type of servant. (something like 'you there, boy!' is directed at a servant, not a child.) Now let's get into a few other odds and ends while we're at it. the term 'gender' has gone through a large number of shifts in meaning over time. Prior to about 150-200 years ago it was meaningless and nonsensical to talk about a person's gender. Gender was grammatical. Words have genders, people (or animals for that matter) do not. Simple. Perhaps due to embarrassment or something, it picked up the idea of being used as a synonym for 'sex'. (not the act, but the concept of the male and female sexes). This meaning started to shift in the 1950's with feminist discourse due to needing some way to distinguish the superficial and cultural aspects of a person's identity as male, female or whatever else might exist from the things that are truly biological. (the former is a much longer list than the latter it turns out. Very few 'innate' differences remain once you strip away the arbitrary cultural and social ones like how people are expected to act in company, how they dress, hair length, and so on.) Of course, some people still insist on rejecting the mental and/or social definitions of gender even though they're some 70 years old, in favour of the 'old' definition which is only about twice that age... But whatever. The meaning of language changes over time. That's something that's inevitable. But being ignorant of the history of words leads to arguments that focus on the wrong thing. The real question in historical isn't 'why are people sexist and exclusionary by referring to a mixed sex group as 'men'' But in fact it is, 'how did we end up with a sexist and exclusionary definition of a formerly neutral word?' We are all men, except those of us who at some point in history fell victim to a language shift that suddenly excluded and 'othered' us. Which, conveniently, allowed the idea that women are lesser beings to flourish for quite a while. When you change a term to exclude a group, you can also easily exclude them from anything that uses that language in it that they would have formerly been covered under. If a wyf is now a woman, and a woman is not a man... Then they no longer have any of the legal rights that state that you have to be a 'man' to have them, because they are not 'men' and thus these documents clearly don't refer to them... Yeah... History can be messed up.

@@openfilmteam9745 sorry but i just read "bla bla bla we are machistas"

@@smallstudiodesign And where do you buy the instant films for the camera ?

Has all that tech but mother nature can be a bitch when she wants to be. Tech doesn't spare you from that

still went extinct due to their own stupidity in not utilizing a new technology better . . . in not informing the public of what happened so an alternative solution could be found . . . in carrying on as the planet died . . . which is exactly what we are doing right now. fortunately we still have a few visionary people around that are pushing us to expand and explore, and that will likely be the only thing that saves us from ourselves

@@DJDaisho What would save us from ourselves is learning how to be a unified people without all this conflict and to learn how to treat our world better. Otherwise, the next world we colonise will just be a repeat of this one.

Isn't that exactly what we are doing currently?

Thanks! We're glad you enjoyed it!

@A.Edwards It already is a movie!

Me too I'd love to see a full film!

@Easliy Displeased hmmm you gotta point there bud...

@Easliy Displeased On the first look a good point, but i do not agree. Maybe not everyone wants to populate other worlds without first checking if anyone already lives there, like humans did in the movie Avatar. The Pilots were ambassadors, not conquerors. What if any aliens come to earth (doesn't matter if they use FTL or not, it is just a question of time to travel, not more) and start to colinize earth without consideration of humans? And what is wrong about finding ET-Races that could help us to save our own planet instead of occupying another one? In this movie the aliens were peaceful enough to bring rene back to earth, maybe they would habe been peaceful enough to help humans saving earth...

Thanks for watching. And you're right, they did!

Early prototypes and not yet reliable. For the story they just didn't have time and resources to develop the technology and large enough ships. Actually only hinted at in the film, but thought you might like to know anyway.

@@daruvante They'd probably get farther in larger ships rather then pods....

@@valiatus6719 They would as long as they'd have time to make it and have technology that would work on them as well.

@@daruvante Welp, they failed so 99.99999999% of Humanity is dead, save for one guy.

I understand low budget. But you could have put their hats right, bérets properly setup, the girls with the huge uniform was funny. But the idea is good, the story engaging. Hey René landed on Hoth!

@socal rocks well yes. All berets are designed the same in the basics plus the crests are generally placed directly over an eye, usually the left. The accoutrements are group/country specific. The over large, I'll fitting uniforms were slightly distracting but took nothing away from the hard work and storytelling.

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! We really enjoyed reading them!
