Stan is an intergalactic garbage man who lives alone on an asteroid. For food, he corrals space debris using a special harpoon and converts it to nourishment. But he dreams of more than survival -- he dreams about love.
One day, he spots something floating in space: Beatrice, a fellow astronaut, who is stranded on a comet passing by his asteroid. He falls instantly in love with her, but the comet doesn't return to his orbit very often. Driven to be with her, he has to resort to extreme measures to capture her affections -- but it may come at a cost.
Co-writer and director Jonathan Langager's lovely blend of practicals, live-action and puppetry -- co-written with Ali Scher and produced by Christian Hall -- adds a poignant charm to this short romance. The almost lo-fi stylization of its intergalactic space setting is captivating, but the narrative still touches upon the deep sense of loneliness and isolation we often feel -- and the strength of our yearning to connect and love, no matter how hard it may be.
The storytelling is straightforward and measured, told entirely without dialogue and aided with the help of a lovely, almost nostalgic score that evokes the golden lushness of old Hollywood films. But the real magic is found in the visual approach, which is a sweetly eclectic mix of different techniques.
The craftsmanship mixes puppetry with both digital and practical effects, and the effect is often both old-fashioned yet timelessly beguiling. The handmade, tactile whimsicality of the puppetry -- which was accomplished with the help of master puppeteer Phillip Huber, who worked on Being John Malkovich -- has a unique expressiveness, with their bodies both awkward and yet almost innocent in their gestures and lines.
But their faces are live-action actors -- Josh Fadem as Stan and Caitlin McGee as Beatrice -- which capture the subtle currents of feelings that flow and flutter in the charming narrative. It's a transfixing juxtaposition that gets at a key tension -- the character's inner worlds of emotions are subtle, specific and strong, and yet their bodies and movements are limited. Reconciling this tension is part of the journey for Stan, and the solution he devises is both ingenious, romantic but also drastic.
The ending of COSMIC FLING is soaringly romantic in many ways, but it also contains a strong undertow of melancholy, especially as scenes from the more conventional life together flashes by. Yet the ending also deeply relatable, especially at a time when loneliness, isolation and social distancing are hampering our own connections in our lives. COSMIC FLING has a gossamer-light treatment of a deep human truth: we are wired to connect and to be together. It's a drive so strong that we are willing to risk anything, just to feel the closeness and presence of another person in our lives.

Me: "I want to watch wall-E"
Mom: "We have wall-E at home"
Wall-E at home:
Love your profile pic 😂 "Rats tail" lol
@@pluto6048 thank you, it's not mine tho, I will probably never know who it even is but I've been looking for a while
@@ratshave4748 yeah, I've seen it before, it's pretty cool tho 😂
This is good tho not crappy lol
Eva!
The puppetry alone was amazing but the story was beautiful. If they don’t make it, at least they won’t die alone.
10 years, 6 months and 8 days of waiting for the right moment.... he's committed, wow.
And isn't space time much slower??
Time passes differently for a small asteroid, so i guess he was recording for the asteroid, not the 5½ earth years
Not much else to commit to on his garbage asteroid
@@flarion00 very much true.I would've done the same
...then drifted off into space together to meet their tragic deaths 😟
"If you are not too long, I will wait here for you my whole life"-Oscar Wilde
Even while drifting in space, lonely and distant. They found each other, this is honestly beautiful beyond measure.
Well done.
And don't worry, you will find a comet / asteroid in this space between spaces with your person on it. I'm sure of it.
Love x
Giving people false hope can be very harmful
A new meaning to “let’s get lost together”
And so... they both die, happily ever after?
Exactly. In the arms of a stranger you come to greatly dislike.
Until Thanos snapped his fingers and erase one of them.
To be fair there's a .0000000000001% chance they'll be rescued by a passing spaceship
Ok now they have find a way to stop aimlessly floating in space
Don't we all
@@YT-Lucas very deep meaning 0_O but people will not stop until they find the aim.
@@YT-Lucas Lmao bravo.
Omeleto movies are so ahead of time, it's brilliance can not only be seen, can feel it...
Beautifully made, thanks for sharing 👍👍👌
Simple yet complex!!👍
James, how the hell do we get down again?
I looooove this channel..quality stuff
On witch comet you are?
Awww that is adorable you gonna shoot your shot? Lol
@@mysmirandam.6618 Maybe, I'm a little shy....if my asteroid come close to your comet, you never know where intergalactic roads can lead us....
@@11T872 sweet
Who's really out here cutting onions. Get out
Ok my bad
they got me crying too and I had glasses on 😀
This was so impossibly sweet!!! It brought tears to my eyes and put the hugest smile on my face!
This made me SO HAPPY! Beautiful film, beautiful story, beautiful artistry. Highly recommend.
It's a beautiful thing to dance joyfully in someone's arms cherishing each moment as you gradually careen toward death. 💕
This is exactly the emotion I was going for :)
This is giving me alot of Wall-E vibes. Love this
Well that was both delightful and terrifying in so many ways.
I definitely feel single lol
Thank you. This was wonderfully done. Great story.
Sooo cute!!! He waited so long for her!!
I love this concept and the musical cinematic quality is effective and not over baring
How are they gonna make babies with their space suits on?
such a most important question 😂😂
Thank god I wasn't the only one thinking that😂😂😂
Life uh finds a way 😅
Perhaps they have some sort of tube to connect from the guy's suit to her suit. You know, from his ****** straight to her ******.
Oh, God! That's too disgusting to imagine! Now I'm gonna vomit! 😖
His longing for her is palpable.
they don’t need a planet, comet or moon to be together,
they have each other.
This is greatness.
This was absolutely BEAUTIFUL
I love the animation, and it's so romantic and all, but now they are just drifting in space...
Very cute and lovely story! Love works in mysterious ways.
I'm a pushover for quality puppetry aqnd damn this was quality puppetry! And a perfectly excellent bittersweet romance to boot! Kudos! And thanks once again to Omeleto for presenting consistently high-quality shorts!
"I think of you as a friend"
Thank you for the love and smiles
You’re welcome!
Visually Brilliant! Well executed 👍
I love this channel
Quality stuff. Thank you so much
Really innovative. Well done.
Beautiful story and a glorious end ♥️♥️♥️💕💕
Imagine being a garbage man and having to live the rest of your days on an asteroid all alone collecting space trash and turning them into your only food.
Very creative !
Beautiful story and great choice of soundtracks
This is the second cosmic romance short film that ends with a tragedy.
Cthulhu: "I AM CTHULHU! ELDER-GOD OF MADNESS AND PINNACLE OF EXISTENTIAL COSMIC HORROR!"
This short: *chuckles* "hold my beer..."
Haven't I seen a different version of this before ? The ending reminded me of another short film which was entirely made using pencil art. I remember two people who had crashed on different space rocks who were trying to communicate over the long distance, the ending was the same.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the imagery and the puppetry and the story telling was really good, I also enjoyed the fact that it had no dialogue. There was some very clever imagery which told the story better than dialogue but I do feel it may have either been inspired by that other film or was a remake of it.
please tell me the name I wanna watch the other film too
@@donthaveone2182 I looked for it on Omeleto's page but couldn't find it, they only have shorts up to 3 years ago and I think it might have been just before that.
I directed this short and I’m not sure what you’re referring to! Would be curious to know what it is.
@@jlangager oh wow I love this film I'm really thankful you created it you're extremely talented
@@donthaveone2182 Thanks!!
My, how fanciful. And why am I reminded of the animation Final space ?
this actually good channel for get inspiration filmmaking 👍 love it
Charming.
Pleasant to watch :)
This was great
I just love stop motion animation
No stop motion :). It was all marionettes.
Definitely lockdown inspired. Great little animation. :)
Aaahhh, a love story 🥰
So, no matter what, people would still fall in love at first sight and use that ancient tally system to count down?! No use of light-years, galactic years, or Astronomical units?! And how is he counting those 5 years 4 months and 3 days? Corresponding to which planet? Looks like he is closer to Saturn, time in Saturn or close to Saturn is totally different than time on Earth. And how did they find trees next to their wedding Chapple?
The movie is entirely metaphorical🦋. It’s not about Love, it’s about Gold. It’s not about space, it’s about isolation, void, emptiness in existence. What is the meaning of life? The tally system was often used by prisoners, you can see the electronic bracelet on his ankle. Saturn is then a symbol of time. Besides the ring of Saturn reminds of the ring of marriage. Marriage leading to children and to agriculture which is a symbolic of life. The « perfect» life : a house, diploma, a married couple and children. The tree and the marriage aren’t real, just an illusion. You can clearly see their union can leads to death. There is a question about women’s role in society. Can and cake mold visible when he made her turning in circle. What do we know about her? Her name, her face, her gender, her appearance. She shows up and disappear like a cat. Again and again. There is a concept of spiritual elevation but also sacrifice and slavery. Time in Saturn is different, 29 years = 1 year. I see a political message. Who made the video?
Sarah R interesting theories! I made the video :)
Worth it for the music !
Yeah, the music is great!
Thank you!!!
Brilliant
Yeah, well, they got "flung" all right.
Curse of staying single and alive.
Cute love story.
It's a Wall-E rip off, though.
The music is perfect 🎼
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!!
very sweet.
I want that......maybe.......someday.....
Anyone else get Wall-E vibes from this?
This is A Great Great Love VIDEO.
I liked it before ive even seen it, i just know
That’s a has a very familiar feel about it
☺️😢❤️❤️❤️😫 so sweet
Allen you should have had a small flyby of the starbug from red dwarf...
Yeeeaaah I'm thinking of all the sci fi references I coulda put in there... but in the rush of production it's hard to manage those extras.
Excellent👌👌👌👌👌👌
Lol same he’s me
Great. How did they land on another surface though?
Not sure they do...
Aww, such a cute story.
This film is great, but it owes a lot to the soundtrack.
Yo man I got an idea
What?
Wall-E with Up music
yeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Music reminds me of UP
I wonder how they eat
His backpack recycles garbage into food.
it looks like its inspired from Wall E
👏👏👏
👍👍
🤗
Well then-GOOD LUCK❣️💕
NICELY DONE! 👏👏👏🌹
Stay 'safe', everyone❣️ Blessed be🌜
😭😭😭😭💖
What do they eat if they're in space?
Garbage. He spears it, and converts it to food with his backpack. Don't ask about his other business...
This is comically inefficient
Me hizo acordar a wallie y Eva 😅
What happened next🤔🤔
They were sucked out in space, lost in the junkyard humanity created, and starved to death in each others arms dreaming of a perfect life together ..THE END 💀💘
Thanos snapped his fingers and one of them was erased, leaving the other with an unbearable pain. Until finally the rest of them committed suicide by opening his/her helmet in the middle of space.
@@cahidijoyoraharjo7833 The original ending was them taking off their helmets, kissing, and dying in the vacuum of space (no joke). We changed the ending while filming.
@@jlangager Suddenly this short turned into a horror story!
Interstellar lite
and then they starved to death
this jst made me upset......they might die out there. ...i really hate space
😍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh🌹
JacobandEmily Forever once
JUST FINISHED 915p 1162020 BEAUTIFUL and THANK The Most High for Your Vision Come to Life ❤
Cute, for me 5-6/10. Maybe i've just become cynical in my old age.
What?!
Stan the Hunter, living on a garbage dull asteroid. Beatrice, living on a luminous comet. Darkness and lightness. Hell and Heaven. Unbalanced Yin and Yang. Satan and Beatrice inspired from Dante’s Hell and having Melancholia. Up and down, low and high. Their spacesuits colours doesn’t fit together. Her face is uncovered while he only show his eyes. Lies and truth. Lost contact. What is right and what is wrong? Blue pill or red pill? Red pill or blue pill?
That's why we are here🎉...
damn
