Anyone else here because of ticktok
Right today itself I saw it.but I was wondering, binoculars to watch the speed of light.
Es que la maquina no iba a la velocidad de la luz, si no apenas iba alcanzando la velocidad del sonido, al alcanzar la velocidad de la luz desaparece de inmediato.
Yed
Yo! Y como sigue esto?
Yes whatch a short clip and had a hard time finding it
THIS SERIOUSLY NEEDS TO BE A FULL LENGTH MOVIE, THE CONCEPT IS OUTSTANDING, AND IN THOSE 5 MINS. THE PLOT MADE ME WANT MORE, SO LETS GET A SCRIPT AND BUDGET AND LETS MAKE THE NEXT CULT TRILOGY!!!

Totalmente en lo correcto. Estos tipo de corto son adictivos jajajjaa
Okay... this was the trailer, right? We're getting a full movie, right? Please? MAN this was awesome! The story, the acting, everything. Not even five minutes and you've alreday got me completely hooked!
I'm from the future and
I they haven't made any movie till now
@@aniketpatil4430 😔
I'm also
Here I am from future.
Wow, this could be a full-length movie. I'd pay to go see it or pay online to see the rest of the story. Incredible for indie production.
No you won't. You're just blah blah like me
@@Mermaider bro what? You cant decide what other people would do.
Porque no hacen la película de ..
Traveler 😢 esta película va más allá de la realidad de los ovni y otras raza los felicitos.me Gustó el tráiler es Muy buena traveler 😢😢
Excellent! No beating around the bush, no stupid behavior by the characters, just refreshing quality. Good work, everybody.
They must make a full length movie out of this.... the Alien or future human looked so awesome and the craft design is amazing
Fund it
Now I really want to see developed story based on this.
After 2 years, we're prolly not gonna get a developed story. But that would be awesome to see this as developed fully!

Why the hell did the modern world adopt Rome's failure ?
The rich took over Rome's government then all the wealth for themselves.
what do bankers make, poor people ☹️
This was great! :D The only bad part is now you have me hooked and curious as to what happened when she went through the time warp and what happened to the friends and that I know there probally won't be a sequel (as is with most short-films), but man(/woman), would a sequel be cool (in my personal humble opinion)!
He looked like he was in a museum exhibit at the end, the machine was under glass, he and the truck were under a bigger glass enclosure. His friends are on display somewhere else...
@@vigunfighter I agree - I think he is in a zoo. Plot hole -- what was destroyed in the original universe? How can there be the craft under glass? And what idiot takes a rock from an alien after watching him/it destroy his ship, kill his colleague and kidnap the others? Did he not learn from Prometheus that an invitation from another life for is best declined. This ended up being lame.
AS A MINISTER I HAVE TO SAY THAT YOU LEFT US HANGING THIS IS COMPLETELY UNFAIR ABSOLUTELY UNFAIR I'M ASKING YOU GUYS WHEN WILL YOU DO A FULL MOVIE ON THIS THAT GOES ANYWHERE FROM AN HOUR AND A HALF TO 2 HOURS PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW YOU CAN'T LEAVE US HANGING IN SUSPENSE LIKE TURKEYS LOL COME ON GUYS WE NEED TO SEE THE FULL MOVIE A FULL VERSION OF THIS DON'T LEAVE US HANGING OUT HERE IN THE WIND LOL
agreed but we don't need caps you know
@@a.bettik8698 PLEASE FORGIVE ME THAT'S JUST HOW I TYPE I'M NOT YELLING IT'S JUST THE WAY I TALK GOD BLESS YOU
Good FX, but this short was too short.
This would be a really good trailer for a full-length film. Too bad that probably won't happen.
I was hoping for more of those long legs, then she got barbecued. Oh well.
You're a bad man and I am too for laughing at that comment.
Bill M Gg h (780) 239-3224,sldldld
Yup, made me giggle as well >< and now I'm a bit hungry
just go into these short films and it kills me to learn they all end with cliff hangers !!!
I think they're either class projects, or trailers to sell concepts for longer works.
Either way, I enjoy them. I imagine where they go from the "end" we see.
8 years ago this video was posted and has kept all to the edge of the chair… has there been more?
Lovely to look at, pretty actors, fun costumes, much eye-candy, anemic writing and no plot or storyline whatsoever.
Yup, they definitely have a future in Hollywood!
So here's my interpretation:
This is not the initial timeline. The team successfully invents time travel and goes on to be a successful entity; but, naturally, there were repercussions. Something happened that caused time travel to be deemed a threat - travelers are pursued with lethal force, and perhaps 'accomplices' are detained. That is, all except for the inventor of time travel, who was spared by that hunter and given a trinket that allows him to experience the initial timeline, and sees the first vessel on display (no pilot, she died in the explosion).
This is the beginning of his journey, to find and perhaps liberate his friends at first, but during his journey he discovers just how severely the invention of time travel has back-fired. Enough to make his future-self hunt down and destroy his love every time she makes the jump.
Interesting premise however, if you check out the sky post jump it is dramatically different. I'm seeing that the goal may have been jumping into the future but perhaps it was actually was another place/planet instead.
How could the original vessel be displayed if it was blown up (when the pilot died)?
The last shot feels like a museum. It is the resting place of first time craft. The hunter has given him a chance to see it but without explanation why (which is where request for tv series comes in)
@@keithpennington8259 thought the same but I didn't see any fragments only dirt flying in the air. So wondering if it was taken like the other two people?
I thought the ending was like the ending part of HG Well's 'Time Machine' (original book), the part where the time traveler comes back to the place where he left his time machine and find the locked doors now open, not knowing that the Morlocks are trying to capture him.
that sudden spaceship appearance scared the shot out of me...
Funny, I just did two shots (whisky). But seriously, the film was great!
most of these shorts are better than ANYTHING on scifi channel anymore!!
OK this is awesome plain and simple. You try doing a tenth of what they did here and you'll get a sense of what's involved. I totally want a part II!
You watch the first part, get interested... and when it ends you're left wanting to know "what happens next?" Any film that manages to make you feel like this is a success.
That's one of the best shorts I've ever seen! Really wanna see more like this. The plot, compressed into 5 minutes is mindbogglingly good, and the effects are great and not overdone like in most SciFi shorts.
I really hope to see more from this team!
Wow I want to see a whole film, the story and acting is fab
how can some of you not understand what happend in this lol its very easy... guy makes a machine girl travells init somewhere or sometime, gets back successfully to the delight of her friends but brings trouble back with her. the guys other friends get taken away and he is offered something in return that if hes brave and smart enough to use may give him a chance to bring his friends back... lots of questions for this but for a 5 min clip its loaded with possibilitys and THATS what makes it good, use your IMAGINATION people!
+The Bird - you should do the voiceover work. But if I have to use my imagination, why am I watching a video?
+The Bird exactly...it's the theories of what happens next that make this short film so interesting.
Certainly left me wanting more and that ladies and gentlemen is what's called entertainment!
The Bird I was trying to imagine a story, and real acting. Then, I realized I could accomplish that entirely without watching this.
Purple Bird xgj
You can't just stop there. We need more of this.
I'm slackjawed! What a brilliant story and movie. It's amazing what you can do in such a short time when you bring everything together perfectly. Keep going, you all have a great future ahead of you!
peoples yelling that the storytelling sucked, the motive of these short films is to create suspense at the end! so people want more of it!
If this would get a full movie, I'd watch it for sure! acting may be not perfect,
but music and story line (or to what it can get) captured me! :D
really love it!
Oh boy! I came across to this little (only 4 or 5 min) movie and it was sooo good it put a smile on my face!
Internet is so full of junk made me very happy to find such a gem among all that boring stuff you normally see.
I just love it!
References to great films such as StarWars, Tomorrowland, Independence Day...
I really want to see the more.
Congrats to you all! Excellent!
At last!! A decent stab at a bit of sci-fi, really enjoyed this watched it three times, absolutely loved it. More of this please, great story and effects.
Can't believe the haters!
A few years later, and I'm still waiting for these guys to be given the means for a full movie. Hollywood can't pretend they're missing talents or ideas to find. They have no excuse.
If you can't finish it, don't start one,
I think it is excellent. Considering the situation he finds himself in. Natural responses, not acting responses. Makes for an excellent series I think. Experimentation is a gift. Don't crap on it.
I interpreted the end this way (spoilers):
The alien that followed Rachel back into the present had mercy with the last guy of the friends, so he spared his life. The stone gives the last guy the ability to temporarily travel into the future in which their time-travel device is being presented in that glass box as the first ever time-travel machine built by the humans in the past (the present), kinda like an exhibition/museum.
+MofaGames I guess that makes sense, but it wasn't clear. When he said "Rachel" at the end, I thought it was a prison,and that was the reason why they shot the ship and blew it up because she may have escaped. .-.
+MofaGames That's about what I was thinking. Thanks for sharing!
+Aki U Because we saw the ship intact later, I think the "explosion" was faked by the people from the future after they abducted the ship, probably to discourage anyone from continuing the research prematurely.
DistracticusPrime But I couldn't tell if they were time jumping or dimension jumping. If they were jumping time then he could have landed at a point BEFORE she got blown up.
If they were dimension jumping then it could have been another ship entirely from a parallel universe.
Some people were thinking that the armored figure was actually Rachel from the future, and that was why she shot down the first ship and didn't kill him because someone else took it. But.... it wasn't clear....
+MofaGames "Traveler" is a teaser short for an epic sci-fi feature set in the near future.
When a group of friends discover a secret code on the dark-web, they build a jet-powered craft to attempt jumping to the far side of our galaxy. But when they succeed, they unwittingly open up earth to the ‘aware’ - civilizations who are advanced enough to ‘jump’ through space.
Earth sits at a crucial way-point in the universe and has been targeted for illegal colonization. Only our adventurers can stop this - if they prove to the galactic council how nefarious the security chief's plans are. Such a quest will take them to the far edges of the galaxies and the far-flung worlds there.
Totally implausible. There is no way that anyone that built something that complex would be driving a Dodge.
Oh come on! That’s way to short.
It’s more like a preview of the beginning of a movie.
A movie I would very much like to see you.
Yeah, this was a tease.
I guess Rachel forgot to use her turn signal. Alien road rage.
From Tiktok to here
I love all these comments defending the film and shitting on anyone who is slightly critical of it. By this logic, we shouldn't criticize anything. I think it's totally fair for someone to be critical of a film like this.
Were the filmmakers really yearning to tell this story?
Or did they want to create another piece for their resume?
Also: should hard work and effort be rewarded over actual content?
This was amazing, honestly, I can't believe just how much of a story you managed to weave in less than 4 minutes .... beautiful !!
You MUST make this to a feature length project..........Fantastic idea; Has not been done......asking to be made!!................loved it!
Someone watched Tomorrowland
+gagomand or just the trailer :P
+gagomand or Buckaroo Banzai back in the 80s
+gagomand And Back to the Future
+gagomand You forgot any Star wars movie, series, game.
+gagomand
or played Another World
The beginning is basically back to the future lol,
Doc: "Calm down Marty I didn't disintegrate anything, The molecular structure of both Einstein and the car are completely intact"
Marty: "then where the hell are they!!!?"
Doc "WHEN the hell are they".
peteq1972 Dr. Emmett Brown: If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you gonna see some serious shit.
such a beautifully crafted film!!! i want more of this story... and i love the music
Hi Jessica you are very beautiful, but why you wrote brown. You are white.
This guy has the makings of a great actor! That can't be chosen beforehand. That can't be taught by any acting school! They can't do anymore than fine tune his innate greatness! That is why so many famous actors have descended from famous parents. The Hollywood middle men don't have it! Only the gifted actor or actress have it! By the way, that applies to Geopolitics, weather presenters, congressmen and even presidents of questionable qualifications. No matter what the psychopaths think, it ain't going to fly! Pride comes before a fall. We all know that!
I am reluctant to jump in here with some of the other comments. I thought it was a compelling short film. Grabbed our attention from the first scene and held it through to the end. It left me wanting more - which is what I think you were aiming for. The cinematography was very good. The graphic effects were convincing. I liked the editing as well - the cuts held the story line and weren't distracting. Sorry to see mean comments, but I am quite impressed by your work. Well done. Put up a kickstarter and a script outline and make a feature!
+Steve J Good idea re. kickstarter!
Yeah, they should take it further, SteveJ. I agree so much with you. Very good work. Quite impressive.
Well done. It never ceases to amaze me how people like you on a very limited budget and scare resources can do a far better job than the clowns in Hollywood with their multi-million dollar budgets.
Amazing effects! Great job putting this together. Seems like there should be more to the story since it makes me wish there was more!
This is phenomenal work. The quality of the natural light in the effects is spot on. I've watched this several times and EVERYTIME what jumps out at me, is the wheels on the truck model from the over head shot, do not match the truck when it pulls up. The over head shot shows chrome and when you see it stop in a later shot, they aren't chrome. Then when I froze the film at 0:26 to be sure before posting this, I realised that wasn't the only thing different. Boils down to a completely different model lol. THAT said.... the quality of this short film is fabulous and i give it a massive thumbs up. :0)
Missing RAM1500 logo from the door. Easier to spot.... I think the model may be a Chevy?
This is the weirdest truck commercial I've ever seen.
The guy from the other dimension (future) is the same guy who created the jump-velocity-vehicle. Following on from the "short" him and Rachel decide to terminate the new creation due to mankind not being ready. Rachel is obviously not in the proto-type vehicle when it's destroyed and more than likely in the "craft that comes through to destroy the prototype". The future technology that allows "jumping" is carefully controlled on the "other side" and so is sealed away (in box) until it can be put back onto its original track 'so to speak'. They live happily in the other more advanced dimension (future) and never go back. Just a thought, lot's of holes, I know, but it's where my thought processes were going when it ended. I love these shorts! Very thought provoking and it's interesting how people interpret the same imagery completely different! Very interesting! Have a great day! :-) X
Need the full move!
It would be nice if they followed up with like parts 2 and 3 and so forth , but I think these short movies are just meant for our imaginations to finish the rest on how ever we would like it to end. Very good short. Thanks
Plot twist. The acting is not great because the actor are cgi
how did u know that !!
+neirad537 the acting is fine. cgi ok, storyline awesome. I'd watch the shit out of this if this was an actual movie.
+neirad537 First there must be a plot before there can be a twist...this has neither!
+metaspherz There was a plot. Time/Dimension travel was the plot, that it worked. The twist was someone chased the traveler and it would seem destroyed her. Then there was another plot, the guy going to where the girl went.
I’m still just fixated on how they got a GMC Sierra to instantly morph into a Ram 1500
Now THIS - this is science fiction! Loved it, but I hated that it was so short. I would pay good money to see a full-length film based on this.
I totally don't get it, but it's well done!
The Ford pickup truck was unrealistic, but other than that, it was great!
Why did they make the Ford truck look like a Dodge?
@@candeffect lol that's the real trick...
Damn! I hate these things that don't have an end!!!!! There are so many different directions this can go with what we were left with. Awesome graphics and photography. ABSOLUTELY go further with this.
If the jet-powered craft was destroyed then how could it be in the box that the guy sees? Is it a hologram? A nice twist would have been if the guy picked up the 'rock' traveled to the spot where the craft was in the box, stole it and then took it back to where it had originated just as he was being pursued by the black ship only to be destroyed when he got 'back.' Then, subsequently, it is revealed that the pilot of the black craft was the girl that took the jet-powered craft in the first place. That would have given the short film a much deserved WOW! factor ending that made sense even as it raised questions about how the girl became the pilot of the black craft in the first place and wanted to kill her colleagues. It becomes a circular story with an imaginative twist ending that actually satisfies.
+metaspherz The shot fell short,only the dust clout was left.
+metaspherz consider the possibility that the temporal pathway (or wormhole if you prefer) taken by the craft was still there slightly out of phase with that particular time and location....the returning craft may not have actually been the one that left but one from a reality that closely resembles our own on a quantum frequency or vibration...the first intrusion into the future altered the fabric of space time for a moment and the back wash left in its wake is simply trying to repair the damage...the figure might be a guardian or as has been stated in previous comments one of the team members intent on preventing an as yet seen problem from becoming exponentially worse
I think this would have tied it up too obviously and removed the sense of wonder.
I gave this a thumbs up for the very cool effects, but it almost seemed like Doc Brown and Marty in the DeLorean scene when Einstein and the car catch up in time and Doc Brown tells Marty: Look out!!!
very talented, hope you can do the movie.
The fact that it happen only when you lower the tension in the mind. And start to focus normally. That's when things become dangerous for your safety. We call this a human automatic disposal for expandables.
that just leaves me wanting more,i really enjoyed that thanks.
So charming and tempting ......short film ..... I know most of people would love to see the full length in 2 .30 hours in the theater .......but I believe better keep it this way because people will find the way to criticize anyway..... short like this is ended game bravo! Let the imagination find there way , C’est génial .......💖💖💖💖💖
Whoa! What a ride. My mind exploded. Excellent work.
For the time-traveller ship...
1/ He is so cool;
2/ He got plane engine;
3/ I love it
Great !!
Phil (France)
Okay I have to Say that this short must be a movie
Great short! Keep it up, waiting on the part 2.
This was brilliant story telling and excellent filmmaking I hope to
See part 2 this would do brilliant as
Full feature film an or movie series keep up the good work and please
Make a part 2 I’m on the edge of my seat
I thought it was actually quite good, I'd like to see it developed into a full length movie.
I am getting tired of short films where there is no story,lots of CGI and the audience left scratching their heads as to WTF. They are proof of concept and if someone somewhere is willing to fund them then they will sit down and write a story that joins all the dots. Otherwise its just another piece for their portfolio. This frolic with Star Wars,Tomorrow Land and Signs is destined for that hard drive you keep to show the kids one day."Look what Daddy used to do."
Love the ship and it's obvious the kid resembles Marty McFly as they step back just in time just like in "Back to the future" when the ship flashes back. They did not give any info on the the thing being a time machine till it disappeared. Very cool when something came back chasing it. Even cooler when it started shooting at the white speedster. They clearly showed the car being obliterated. That does not jive with the thing existing in the future or his friend surviving. Also of note, it was Doc, not Marty that invented the Flux capasitor. Marty had neither the mindset nor the disposition to be an inventor. So i doubt very much this kid does too. It is also a well known fact that women cannot drive cars without sun visors with mirrors attached to put makeup on and admire them selves in. This girl obviously falls into that category and surely would have rear ended someone or gotten a ticket for reckless driving before completing the mission. Unless that was in fact a police officer from the future chasing her, in witch case, i must say they have finally figured out a way to keep distracted female drivers off the roadways. Blast them into oblivion. Having said all this, i did in fact enjoy the video. Doc Brown.
Condescending comments but funny to an extent.
Now go flail yourself with a wet noodle.
Overnout
Awesome opening scene! Now, where's the rest of it? I'd go see this in theater or buy the Blu-ray.
that was tough, fast, right I to the action, left hangin, opening the door for further adventures, well done!!!, BRAVO
It's a clickbait! It's a damn trailer! And this was uploaded on my birthday!
This has ALL the makings of a great 'something more is coming' film. Well done.
i wanna see the full film how gonna get it is amazing!!!
Have a full blown script and contact the Hollywood Giants
this is epic stuff ~ dig the retro soundtrak !!! woohoo
+Zahir K Lazarus soundcloud.com/ceiri-torjussen/sets/traveler
Best Dodge Ram commercial ever!
OMFG ! LOVE IT ! AMAZING WORK ! MOARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!! part 2 maybe ?? or whole mini series ???????????
calm down the fx was good but acting sucked ass
It wasn't the worst.. the people were believable enough as not to be obviously acting, like in some other shorts.
The acting was great.
renderuthis No, if you think so you don't know anything about acting man
renderuthis no the acting was terrible
I just went on his website. The link is above for it. This film actually did win awards and was optioned to production companies for development, but either no one took it or it is in Development hell.
No..there must be more..this is not at all...
Another short with great effects and an incomprehensible story. If only these filmmakers had coherent scripts their films would be more than show off reels for their DP & FX people.
needs more story. vfx great
By God ... These actors are good ... If they work in heavy budget they are worldwide known in some time ...
Just plane A grade work by the crew! Loved it thoroughly!!!
This short was full of inventive and fun elements none of which were put together into a coherent or cohesive story-line.
I want moar, much more.
Dumbledore gave him the Philosopher's Stone! You're a wizard Harry.
Looks like a truck ad.
I think I would rather watch the entire twilight saga for the rest of my life than to see that guy say another line again.
the acting is NOT THAT BAD. Still better than Hayden Christensen.
+Joseph Farah That's setting the bar pretty low dude. I took a dump this morning that could act better than Christensen. Still, he's about a hundred times better than Kristen 'Valium' Stewart.
Rubbermatt your comment made me laugh for like ten minutes!! :D
I was making a joke XD but I still think the acting in the video isn't that bad. It could be oh so much worse. :)
+Joseph Farah i thought it was really good indeed.
"You could diiiie" was pretty bad.
That would make a great ScI Fi channel series 4 sure.
I hate how you people end these films. You must add more to the story.
You guys took my idea, i always had a design for a smaller plane with big jet engines.
I hope there's a sequel though.
A wee bit less w/ the over acting please.
The special effects are spot on!! VERY realistic and believable!!. Lots of unanswered questions, but fun to watch. Well done.
ooh, edgy,
not.
The difficulties in egineering of starships which are able to fly more than Light -Speed !
This is really rather good. Liked the oblique rock formations on the alien world. Well done CGBros.
Wow! Very well done and leaves you wanting more....much more!
I agree, this was just to short but so good. I would hope that the maker of this will continue to make a movie from this short. Sounds and looks dramatic. No telling what is out there in our Universe. We need to know what happened to his girlfriend, too. Why is the ship incased? Why did the Alien destroy the ship that came back? Where did his friends go too? So many unfinished questions. He's got us dreaming you know....I realize this post is about four years old but it's still good stuff.
The black truck is a Chevy :25 in with chrome side trim and a Dodge the other shots.
The rest was very well done.
The actress who played Rachel is gorgeous.
