Hey Everyone! Calvin, the director here. Thank you for watching Firmware!
I'm a full time VFX supervisor and an ever-learning director. This project came about as a personal challenge to learn Virtual Filmmaking in Unreal Engine. And what better way to learn a new software than creating a hugely ambitious short film. Right? Right…?
I'd love to answer any questions you may have about the making of Firmware, and will be releasing a Behind The Scenes feature soon! All images are rendered out of Unreal Engine with motion capture by Beyond Capture in Vancouver.
Great Work… Very Entertaining.
At the beginning I thought it was live action mixed with animation… well made.
I need more backstory on this because this is sick
Damn seeing the robot die like that hurts 😢
Maaaaaaan this hard
This shouldn't be a short. It should be a " long".
amazing realism in this. i would like to see part 2.
Pretty soon, Hollywood will be a past memory, all the evil, the actors out of work. We don’t need them anymore.
One day in the future of CG artwork/animation, a moment will come when, like Dorothy opening the door to reveal the colorful world of Oz, a character will doff a low-rez mask or visage to uncover a human face indistinguishable on screen from the real thing, and movies will be forever changed.
Qué lástima que DUST no traduzca las películas al castellano. Se están perdiendo un gran mercado…
First Dust video I didn't watch to the end.
The voices are odd, the graphics average. The girl is shonky as.
It's like an 90s game video.😢
All involved looking for some validation 😂😂😂 no clout for you
Создатели этого фильма не понимают что такое диктатура. Все может быть в сотню раз более жёстко, на столько, что и самоубийство будет лишь Мечта.
That was fire!!! Dope film, wish I had a full 2hr experience but man was that good!
Open source robot of the future runs MS-DOS prompt.
free palestine
Ehhh, pretty clumsy storytelling. Watched to the end mostly out of obligation after starting rather than caring
this deserves to be cast to the big TV…not enough justice watching on the phone….
Poor graphics.
Feeling some halflife 2 vibes
This is really good. Excellent cgi and mocap.
At first it was interesting, until the droids starting being ridiculous. Why would it not be able to scale a simple wall? That makes no sense.
I love it. Amazing job, congrats to all the team 🙂
wow , good film & Quality
Work of art😂❤❤❤❤❤
This was really good. In the beginning I thought it was real people. Anyhow I think this could have went another 20 minutes longer and showed them going in and eradicating them. But then again, I'm a guy and I think women would enjoy this one also start them in the Syfy
Sorry but the dial up sound effect made me laugh so hard i had to leave the room.
Immer in dieser besch…. englischen Sprache. Lernt mal eine zivilisierte Sprache, dann gäbe es auch weniger Probleme und Missverständnisse. Synchronisation in verschiedenen Sprachen wäre auch eine Lösung
Just brilliant
One of Theo better Sci-fi shorts! Part two?
Step back
Still "uncanny valley" territory for me.
It was on the uncanny valley side of things (the human movements and expressions) which I get from many productions using UE5, but for a first time using it, not too bad. Story and setting where well envisioned and spark curiosity for more.
Awesome work. Great visuals and an interesting setting.
However, I think it's a shame when the protagonist in the story has too much luck. It makes the story unbelievable and a bit clichéd. And the robots are somewhat stupid that it hurts watching (The bot can't climb up a box????, the bot can't catch/throw away the grenade???)
"Radiatin" instead of Radiation on the sign at 6:17? Does spell checking exist in the future?
Off on a tangent, but I would have liked if she had washed her face at the end. Just sayin…
I hated this.
This was great!! shame it's not full a length movie. Thanks for posting.
Great work to all involved. Great scenery. The story is tight and has a "I want more" feeling to it. Only thing, as I am not into AI or computer generated work at all, I always wondered why all humas are so wheel-legged and when they run it seems like a fast, long stretched stride, more than a run. Also the eyes are a "dead" give away its ot real, aspecially from a side view and from a bit of distance. I guess we all know eyes and how they look at you 🙂

Still a long way to go before the mechanics of the human form is put into digital.
The true human mind will always recognize this.
Cheers.
🤮
I think men in the future will be banned from reading, writing, and all leadership positions.
I'm not into this fake AI stuff
VERY COOL ❤🥂📽️🎬🎙️🚬🎸🎭🛸👽
