"Tea Time" Steampunk Short Film
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 мар 2014
- Plot: Set in the fanatic alternate history of the 1800s, Tea Time is a comedy that follows a conflicted mad scientist. Elizabeth is in a proper and strict world where inventors are held in high regard, but only ones that fit in. Her work has been rejected (again) and she has had it. Her Aunt Judith wants nothing more than for her to give up this foolishness, marry a proper gentleman and get out of her house (taking her machines with her). This particular day Judith has a different potential suitor waiting for her. A man Elizabeth is somewhat familiar with...
Made with the help of Kickstarter, this short film was shot with $3,000 over two days with a Canon 5D Mark 3 and some very talented people.

OK, that was pretty funny. Not often you run across a comedic steampunk story, but this worked quite well. Good job.
Finally a steampunk short with really good acting! Loved it!
That could not have had a more perfect ending! Brilliant
kinda wanted to see that chicken gun tho
"Trousers. . .in front of a suitor!"
That had me floored. :) Well done!
Actually... a chicken gun is a real thing! (I was particularly bored one day, so I typed the first thing that came into my head into Google). Essentially, a chicken gun is a cannon that fires dead poultry at aeroplane windshields, in order to test them for possible airborne collisions. Evidently Elizabeth is not half as ridiculous as she seems!
I vaguely recall the Mythbusters doing something like that if I'm not mistaken
As for the actual chicken gun... This article is quite informative:

Charming, funny, well acted and well produced. Fine work all round. Capital! Bully! Bravo !
I loved her outfit and the ending was so hilarious! Great Work!
I love the pythonesque aspects of the story, they really made the story into something that really satirised English manners.
High quality cinematography and performance from the actors. Must say ... just brilliant!!!
If I liked Steampunk before, gems like this makes me love it even more. Shared it.
More please! Encore! Encore! Encore!!! Best piece of short steampunk I've seen in an age, and decent actors too. Bravo and Thankyou! I will be sharing your work and hoping you get to make many more. The only thing out of step even slightly is the short filming time. It shows, the fluidity of a longer filming, crew and cast interacting. Not being together long leaves a faint jerkiness of overall production, sharp edges that can only be worn in by familiarity; familiarity with script and cast interactions, and just how everything meshes together like clockwork (or so we project organisers like to hope it will!). I hope you don't mind the hopefully constructive feedback, more time needed for you main character actress especially, to get compfortable in her role, live it more than act it.
I adore the story so far and hope that there is lots more to find! All the best, Alicia Manolas.
I love it! If this short film probes something is that it doesn't need to have a complex back story, clichés nor amazing scenery to really trap you inside the world you're seeing, it has amazing acting and writing and even better, likeable and interesting characters, even with its short length you care about the people and their actions, this is what was lacking in many steampunk short films, that even though they had various episodes you really didn't catch what was going on or why you should care. This is astonishingly brilliant!! Bravo!
I liked it, really enjoyed it. Would like to follow the story more.
This was passed on to me. I simply ENJOY it. Can't wait to see more. Thank you. 😊
"Trousers in front of a suitor! WE WILL NEVER GET YOU MARRIED OFF!"😆
This is fantastic. Short stories are my favorite. I'll never understand why the form isn't more popular.
Loved the story, and the actors were especially wonderful! 2 thumbs up!
I had this on my watch list for a long time, I'm really happy I finally watched it, I love it. I hope it will get continued
Erin - You are the best actress on planet Earth. Please return to the silver screen. It misses you terribly, with or without your gun.
Yeah,this was great...I'd like to see longer ones from this team,actors..perfection mixed with naturality,well cameraed,nice deco,so I loved it..10/10...
Fantastic! The best steampunk movie I have ever seen! Hope, you will make more!
Yes! I say very nicely done old man. I sincerely loved this story. It has style, grace, beauty, and deadly weapons all in a Victorian Steampunk setting. The workshop and estately home were by far the best I've seen yet for such a grand endeavor. I thought the acting was top notch and the costuming was every bit as enticing as the female lead. Bravo to you good sir!
Steampunk AND acting!?! Genre busting!!!!
Fine lass too by golly, what!
Marvelous piece. Love the attention to detail. Fantastic job by all!
Best Steam Punk film I've seen so far, look forward to your future work, keep up the good work.
I really really loved this!!! :D Already watching it fot the second time, and I have passed it on to!
+J. Derek Howard I just watched it ... i'm really hoping for a second part!
one of the best steampunk shorts i've watched so far!
That was funny as hell. And very well done. Kudos.
This was really good! The acting was great and the costumes were so cool! Elizabeth was super funny. Also the clockwork card was a cool idea.
I love it ! The ending was perfect ! I want to see more of this !
I say, absolutely marvellous this piece of film!
Ha Ha!
“Trousers?!...”
Of course, I admire trousers on a lady. It goes to show their dedication to resourceful & modern practicality.
And it was a good wheeze, there at the end!
Well done!
😂👍
10 chickens a minute you say, that I must see.
Best steampunk short I've seen for a while, didn't try too hard and overdo everything.
Nicely done. Loved the punchline at the end! Hehe.
LOVED IT ! Please make more, I admire your work !
Well done, well done indeed. Take the entertainment value times the comedic innuendo (use base value of 4.3) and you get a hearty chuckle followed by a one sided grin. Thanks.
Beyond excellent. Everything was perfect and I loved the automated business card
Brilliant in every way. Great work!
Ab-so-lutely WONDERFUL!!
Ok, that ending is perfect, loved it.
This short film was fun to watch. The business card was sublime steam punk. Captions good.
Good story and a great ending, well done!
This was great. Especially the end 😂
That was brilliant! I've never seen such a lovely made steampunk film before.
I'm a little bit disappointed that it got only 13.000 views. I love your creation :)
Marvelous piece of work.
Absolutely brilliant piece of work, great twist pity there is not more. Regards Paul from London
LOL. This is a great short film. Very creative. Loved it.
Very well done. I highly enjoyed this. I hope you find a way to create a second episode.
Of all the short films on youtube this is the only one I remember being fun
So clever! Well acted, well paced, well shot.
Great film. Thank you.
Great acting. Funny. A beauty.
Enjoyable...loved it. Love to see more.
This is brilliant! LOVE it!
The business card at 7:28 is very nicely done. I'm sure Patrick Bateman ("American Psycho") would love it!
Love the vintage look...Peace
Funny. And the clothing was very timely.
VERY well done..... I hope to see more (smile)
"Dear Elizabeth. Your invention is great - it's just YOU that we have a problem with. You see, you never change your clothes, and frankly, we can't stand the smell...."
Excellent work!
Loved it! I loved the gal's spunky nature.
I enjoyed this one! Made me smile for sure.
i like this ! she's pretty good!!! 👏
Brilliant!!!! Loved it!
Exelent work, the best steampunk shortfilm ever, and Elizabeth wooooooooow, i want a woman like her, beautyfull and smart, great work
😂😂😂😂 my 2nd steam punk short....loved this.
I would love to see what kind of velocity and range you get with classic versus extra crispy chicken
Loved it. Erin Heckel rocks!
That was fun! Who knew tea time could be so dangersous?
Brilliant..just love it
LoL, this was a fun watch, thanks!
~LOVED~ THIS SHORT FILM..........
...and I didn`t even need a monocle to see with :D :D
I cannot think of a single "the ___ could have been better".
love this, !!!! and to be honest that would have rung true, in that time period what one wore meant far more than what was going on. hope to see more product from you'ns
This was great!
Nice! I really liked this!
Omg I want to see this as a whole NetFlix series!!!!
I love the clockwork business card!
This is amazing! I loved watching this and it was very funny whilst also making a point about society and feminism in the Victorian era.
I actually like that! The colours and photography were excellent. The pacing and plot not bad at all! Needed a little more polish but a very good result, I thought. Well done!
GREAT! I love it.
The gentleman forgot to stand when both of the women left each time.
Liked it a lot. Thanks.
like to see it as a full length movie or tv series , it is clever and funny and would be something out of the ordinary stuff we usually have to endure
Fun! Loved it.
Brilliant!
Loved it!
love that black satin gown
loved it.. thank you
Very cute. Worth watching.
Love this.
I'm Christy the time traveler. From the air ship The Saint Album, and I liked this short film
that is a really cool steampunk made film
I love it!!
soo good :D loved it
wonderful!!
This was great. 4 stars
I love steampunk!!!
that was great, keep it up
Love it!
Jorge is an adorable bean. I wanna give home cuddles. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖💕👄👄👄
I loved it. I found only one inconsistency: when our heroine goes up to change the first time, she has a very dirty face. You don't even show her giving her face a quick wash.
On the other hand, it was a great steampunk comedy short. And I don't see how making it longer would make it better.
Though, like others, I wish for another story! It amazes me how little money was used.
And the ending was absolutely perfect. :)
