Proof it’s not the camera, it’s the videographer.
We’ve all seen the hazy, whitewashed footage from cinema cameras or DSLRs. Please folks, if you’re going to shoot on something other than your phone please understand your video is not ready until it’s been color corrected. Phone footage looks better too after retouching. Just please, no more grey videos
Arguably one of the best shorts I’ve seen so far. Very open to interpretation if not an actual alien invasion but dealing with disease and loss of loved ones.
Really appreciate your comments, Niles.
This might be the best submission MIFF has ever had.
I think @deejayforte would appreciate this...
Yeah. Absolutely agree with you👍
Thanks so much, Patrick!
@@VishalBhanushaliviz3rd Thanks so much for the kind words, Vishal.
Agreed.
The plot, story, characters, themes, twists & audience grabbing turns in this film are all about.......shot on iPhone. Whoa!
Thank you so much!
Watching your Domestika course right now. I had not heard of your film until this. I took a break to watch Invasion, just as you instructed, and now I’m rushing back to the course to find out how the heck you accomplished these amazing shots that convey such effective and affecting tone and atmosphere. Excellent work, sir.
This is why mobile filmmaking excites me. If done right, it can capture you just like any other camera.
Whoa!!!! Fantastic!
Shot on iPhone 8
Twitterdan geldik izledik beğendik teşekkürler iphonedo
Thank you so much for taking a look, Faruk!
aaa sizi görmek ne kadar güzel. Keyifli seyirler :)
The moment I figured out what was going on. 🤯 Excellent.
Good. Grief. Utterly incredible writing, directing, cinematography, editing, VFX, all the things. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Too kind, Jackson. I'm glad it made an impression!
I agree, Jackson! It’s all of the things! pp
Shot on iPhone 8??? Wow! I didn't expect that, espacially the macro-shot of the eye at timestamp 1:04. Can't believe that - because my iPhone 13 Pro Max can't take those video-pics - and that phone HAS a macro lens!
Wow loved this! Incredible work - I can really feel your vision. There's a softness to this throughout that I love - tone, music, scene composition. You really drew me into this world.
Wow. That's such nice feedback, Helena, thank you.
There are no words to adequately describe this piece..
Holy shit man, you got no idea how many feels I got from watching this. Great job to everyone involved!
Miguel Martin That’s awesome feedback to hear, Miguel. Thanks brother!
-1 years later, If you're still watching this you're a legend.
What about 3 years later?
Excellent! Really exceptional Pete!
Kevin. Thanks so much!
AMAZING!!! Truly one of the best short films I’ve seen!!! Gave me all the feels. My grandpa was taken in 2013... Good luck tonight! #MIFF2020
Much appreciated, Mitch!
This was exceptional. Absolutely loved it. The music, narration, cinematography. Flawless.
This is brilliant! It was the line about the smell of hospitals for me! 💯
Thanks so much, Paul! I appreciate your comment. I literally thought the other day that if I could change one thing, I might've left that line out. So, I'm so glad you like it!
Love it! A sneaky curveball that puts everything into perspective. Beautiful!
Featured on Film Shortage
Thank you, Folks! Much appreciated on the Film Shortage feature!
Hey Pete, this is awesome, and I love how made use of the time. Invasion would be a great fit for Short of The Week and Film Shortage. I look forward to seeing more of your work. Cheers!
Get this short film a Oscar!!
Fantastic work love it
holy. crap.
Thanks so much, tech team!
Four years and less than three thousand likes. Excellent short!
This is a absolutely spectacular! Powerful, beautifully filmed, touching. Incredible work ❤️
Thank you guys, love your work!
I have only commented on just a few films but this one is excellent. Great talent, well shot, edited and audio additions are fantastic but most of all, creatively written. This is the perfect mix if you’re looking to model after something in terms of quality from script to screen. Great job!
Simply I love it. Greaat analogy, great mensaje.
Wow, wow and wow again! I hope to make something this good one day! This has to win MIFF. So beautifully executed.
Just seeing this on May 15, 2024.
This is brilliantly conceived and executed- the idea, the effects and visuals, the performance both physical and vocal, and the timing of the reveal- not right away, but not right at the end either, with time for it to sink in to the viewer's mind. Excellent work.
Incredible. Just incredible. This really moved me. Bravo.
Thanks so much, Kelly!
I love the depth of this story. Short but precise. 👌
I'm glad! Thank you, Keddie.
Seriously? Always the craftsman. It’s wonderful.
Andrew Ostrom too kind, Ozzy. Thanks mate!
Great short that didn’t need a national debt’s worth of equipment.
I am SHOCKED, this is SO GOOD 😍 You did such an amazing job!!!
21: 12 That’s so nice of you to say, cheers!
GREAT short! I'd love to know more about you made this! How did you create the alien shapes?
so amazing! so inspiring!
Very good! Great concept, and well realised!
Brilliant! Great idea, great story, great execution.
Tomasz Nowak Thanks so much, Tomasz!
Touching, well done, AWESOME! EXCELLENT!! I LOVE IT!
OMG, this is profound. Deeply moving, interpretive story of cancer, with a twist.
Great film. Since you shot this on iPhone, how did you film scenes in very low light areas indoor and outdoor?
Thank you! An app like Filmic Pro lets you control ISO and shutter speed to really maximise low light quality. Some noise cleanup in post helped, too!
Congratulations on MIFF2020! Amazing work. You got my vote for People’s Choice!
Wow, thanks so much Mat!
I loved your film, btw.
Pete Majarich Thanks, I really appreciate it! This was my first time making a film so I was pretty happy with my results. Already thinking up some new ideas for MIFF 2021 😀
It's INCREDIBLE!!!! Can I ask you if I can find the soundtrack somewhere?
Outstanding! 🎬✨ So beautifully crafted and inspiring! 🌟 Who was the director of photography for this film?
Me!
Why are the unpopular creaters always the best ones?
Really touching. Great CGI !
Stanislas Klos appreciate the feedback, Stanislas.
Great work Pete! I loved the shots and the concept behind them.
Nicolás R. Balda Thanks so much, Nicolas!
Brilliant storytelling and cinematography. Very clever and engaging
not me randomly watching this on June 7th, 2024.
Beautiful and poignant. Incredible. 👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful work! Thank you for captioning the film!
It was my pleasure. RUclips has great tools for doing so.
Que incrível, me deparei com a sugestão do vídeo hoje, 7 de junho de 2024 como narra a personagem. Isso deu uma camada a mais de intensidade com a beleza do filme. Parabéns aos criadores!!!
You managed to put so much thing in such a small time. Well done!
Thanks, Akin!
I just loved the spirit. Brilliant!
Thanks for watching, Furkan!
Oh my lord this is incredible Pete. I'm completely speechless here.
Too kind, Greg. Thank you!
If this doesn't win I will be shocked!!

WOW! This is absolutely beautiful...and very cleverly done 🤩
Breathtaking absolutely incredible

Idk writing this 17 days before 7th June 2024, it gives me chills

That's was a great short film even a but scarey !
Awesome Shots!!!
Cheers, Tyler. I've enjoyed seeing your journey on your channel!

Thanks for the kind words, PP!
Fantastic! What program did you edit the film on? Also, the music really fits well with the images too!
This is absolutely incredible!
Thanks so much, Jacky. Really appreciate it man.
Speechless with goosebumps😍🔥
Wow thank you so much Abdul!
Yep
Beautiful in the whole sense of the word
That is very kind of you to say Ruben.
great work
Just... A M A Z I N G!!! TOP!!!
Did you use Filmic Pro ? It looks outstanding. Our next short is being shot with iPhone 13. Any suggestions or advice ?
Wow. This is amazing. The story, the shots, the music, everything. Can't believe this was shot on a phone. Which phone did you use?
TheNomadBits thank you so much! It was an iPhone 8.
@@PeteMajarich Wonderful.
Good flick. When will we get a film promoting exogenesis? That is the most plausible prevailing theory of our origins and the potential for a filming concept has barely been touched.
Really enjoyed this one!! So creative. Really cool concept. Great work!
Thanks a ton Team Kyna!
subtle n smartly done!!!
Wow. 🤯
Nice one bro!
Ray Velez cheers Ray!
deeply moving, loved the metaphors it was awesome.........

Exceptional! Looked like far more than 2 minutes, great sorrytelling
Thank you, Calvin!
Great short! Were the "aliens" composited in with After Effects mixed with the smartphone footage?
Thank you! Smartphone plates. Alien composited in Nuke :)
