FLITE
Dir. Tim Webber
/ @framestoreofficial
In London 2053, a world champion hoverboarder finds herself imprisoned in a luxury skyscraper apartment by her controlling manager. With the help of a well-meaning stranger she engineers an ingenious high-rise escape but soon finds herself riding for her life.
"FLITE is a film I’ve been eagerly awaiting for much of 2023. Rare is it that a short film trailer drop feels like an event, but, back in May, FLITE got that treatment from the Hollywood Reporter, and in-depth writeups in specialized industry publications soon followed. This is not the norm, but not every short film can claim an Oscar-winning VFX Supervisor as its director, someone whose fingerprints are all over several of the most beloved and acclaimed films of the 21st century.
Tim Webber is that director, and also the Chief Technology Officer of the VFX powerhouse Framestore. The former Oxford Physics student has pioneered some of the approaches we now bundle under the umbrella of “virtual production” in his career, perhaps most notably on the 2013 Alfonso Cuarón film Gravity, and now applies that expertise to his own turn in the director’s chair" - S/W Curator, Jason Sondhi

how much money did it cost to make that ? its pretty long and about time people that are NOT hollywood start making movies and series to watch.
Wanna see some real stories and something new and not boring !
Looks like its very much reality that it can be made happen !
The fact it was an original story alone makes it a standout in the current landscape of regurgitated redos and reboots. I would love to see more.
and now hollywood will reboot and redo this.
My thoughts exactlly! Much better written then I would :)
"the current landscape of regurgitated redos and reboots" well tell me you watch nothing but big cheap superheroes movies without tell me you watch nothing but big cheap superheroes movies
It's a short film... Almost every short film is an original story
nah, its based on real story
I liked that the police jetpack is not just an abstract sci-fi, it is based on a real prototype from Gravity Industries.
And the hoverboard behaves pretty realistically too. Like how it needs to be close to surfaces and seemingly wouldn't work over water.
This short film makes me hopeful that Unreal Engine will leapfrog its technology into something so immersive that I can't fathom what it will become years from now.
The same schematics and but different architecture unless you can define what do you mean by technology. Strength of a engine will forever be connected to hardware it runs on.
@@sureshkumar-qw9ny good to know. Thanks for clarification!
Unreal Engine + text/prompting to image AI's is the birth of virtual holodeck style like in Star Trek The Next Generation. (minus the energy to matter part.) We are witnessing the emergence of some very amazing tech.
It can generate a whole planet by 2030, inside is all human players somewhere, just like in the movie Ready Player One.
Yes, but what about the numerous fakes and digital propaganda that follows these technologies
Netflix needs to sign these guys a deal for a full lenth season. Just imagine what they could do with a larger budget.
I can't imagine the amount of work involved! I'd love to see some behind the scenes.
Holy cow the minor movement of the characters is legit seamless to real life. With some tweaks to the environments and major motor movements I dont think I would be able to tell this from a real camera shooting real life. Insane work for a shortfilm, so happy to have watched this
I'm blown away with the fast paced world building, refreshing show-don't-tell approach, blend between suspense, humor, action with heart, plus all those complex perspective shifts... it just all worked and was so effectively pulled off. Score was top notch and characterful by the end. Story was blessedly unpredictable and engrossing. There's so much to like here. Beautiful work, amazing team.
Not only are the visuals impressive, it's great to see a creative storyline that hasn't been done before.
Impressive. far better than some major budget movies. as an amputee I am also happy to see the prosthetic leg angle. Its easier to include with CGI, but its still hard to make look believable. :)
Wow ❤ Someone needs to make this a feature film, so much potential.
Hear hear!!!
How is this not on love death and robots. Incredible work all around.
I’ve recently noticed the details in my dreams, when I don’t attend to them, look astonishingly like generative AI videos. Makes sense, not memories, but new thoughts without sensory input.
That was an exceptionally well executed short. The soundstage was a pleasure to listen to and the graphics were apot on. Then the story... You know you've got a winner when you want to keep watching and want to know more. Well done to the entire team!
Really good shortie.
I like Alba Baptista ever since I saw her in Warrior Nun.
This should be required study material for film makers. You’re immediately drawn into the story and invested in the outcome. Its original, organic, and incredibly technical in such a beautiful and thrilling way. I loved it!
Loved the syringe bit. So refreshing to see a protagonist using his brains for once.
I have to ask: Is the footage of Stevie from 2:22 to 3:06 actually CGI or did they use real footage? If it is CGI that's mindblowing.
I totally agree. It says a lot about how good it is that we have to ask if it is CG or real footage.
Breathless and speechless. Quite an achievement. Bravo.
Didn’t think there was anything left of “original”, thought “its” energy was spent. But seeing this marvel … 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I think I have just seen the future of films. Brilliant.
Finally! An actual movie! Love it, great concept and performances! And of course.. visuals
That was stunning, captivating, heart wrenching, and everything a story should be! Loved the end. Pulled me out of my seat, wanting more! Now, please continue, ok!
Holy guacamole! That was fantastic! Very well done!
P.S. UA-cam algo brought me here
This was really cool. I'd love to see more come from it.
The only negative was that the POV shots really made it feel like a video game and not a short film.
Hot damn. I remember seeing some early shots of this short film a year or two ago and was impressed then. But the final product is truly something special.
Wow! Very good. The unreal integration is great. Well done.
If you don't make a sequel to this I will be so angry great job
I don't know why Chad Muska was holding a sk8trGurl hostage, but it's hard to want to make sense of it all when I'm distracted with just how perfectly her hat stayed in place. It's an Unreal Miracle
That was one of the best movies ive ever seen. Awesome job to you and your team!
EXCELLENT world-building. I can't wait for this to be a game or feature. Splendid chase sequences. Have always wanted a hoverboard so this hit home. Stevie already has an iconic Halloween fit, and can see people making their own bionic legs.
Really good, needs a sequel.
Onlly a small handful of places with jump movements gave away the fact that this was CGI. Quite impressive.
This is a great short film! Want to see more of Alba Baptista on screen
Very good. Good to see there are people out there that realize the story (and conclusion) are just as important as the effects.
Fantastic short. Please play more like this.
Well-imagined, compelling, emotional story. It's great to see such creative use of the tech.
The uncanny valley has been bridged--these characters were not 100% realistic, but they were realistic enough to not be creepy-looking. Nice!
What a beautiful piece of storytelling. Kudos ! You kept me entertained and wanting to know the whole way, thank you. The prosthetic had you guessing is the character real or not? Again well done. Scenery is imaginative and believable. The multi story layers are executed beautifully which is what is lacking in ALL the major studios work of late.
Wow 🤯 it totally exceeded all my expectations in the best possible way. We need to have this made into a full length feature film, it's bound to knock it out of the park, no doubt 👍
Truly a perfect mix of action, story, and emotion. Bravo!
Wow, what a piece of wonderful work!
Super impressive and very well told! I'd love to see more of this world.
Hugely impressive work :)
Wow. This is absolutely fantastic!
I wanted to see a little more of the resolution between Daniel Lawrence Taylor and Genthin Anthony’s characters, and a touch more fleshing out around the narrative, but all-in-all it was a solid short film. Moving plot line, well-paced action beats, smart ‘camera’ work, beautiful visuals. I really enjoyed the end result, hope more people get to see the film.
We humans are capable of greatness.
Amazing work! Can't wait for the suite!
Wow. Wasn't expecting this to be this interesting and good.. Very original and well made, great story and great execution, great acting too, great transitions. A blockbuster quality all around,, Wow just wow..
Fabulous CG, art, and script, thank you very much.
I need more. This was way too good!!! MORE
No human beings were hurt in this movie
Fantastic short. This would make a great feature film. I'm surprised it hasn't received more views and up votes.
This is absolutely amazing... Well done team. Make this a full feature
short films go crazyyyyyyy
Wow, that was an awesome ride! I hope there is a continuation of this. Great work!
Very interesting. I'm wondering when the CGI would reach the level where people and things actually have weight.
I’m waiting for Part 2 now!! 👏🏼💯🎯
Dude this was awesome. Bravo!!! ❤❤❤ 👏👏👏👏
The song during the credits sounds a lot like "Where Is My Mind'' by the Pixies.
This was stunning. Well done. Great story and well told. Felt very Black Mirror. Great job. Wow.
Very cool piece! I'd love a whole movie
*It's PERFECT! Everything right down to the last minute detail!*
Just checking, real humans in CGI environment, right?
It's too obvious It's CG character,, from the start ,
This is absolutely incredible! This needs to be a full length feature film!! I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish! How long did it take to make?!! You must make this into a full length film!!
Bravo! This was fantastic. I would pay for a whole uplifting Black Mirror like series with your art.
Absolutly amazing!
This was really good!!!❤
I loved this. Some of the people movements were too video gamie but soo much was enjoyable. Reminded me of the final fantasy movie that went to theaters video gamie.
❤ 8 out of 10
Absolutely impressing - love it!
wow, The city looks amazing. This is one of the best visual I seen
I'm blown away. I want more!
Loved it! Great cinematic experience!
Amazeballs!
As we all where, I got sucked into the story and realistic visuals. This made me question myself where the characters real or cgi? Amazing work ❤
BRAVO Tim! Outstanding work! Im flabbergasted.
Very nice! Great work!
wow! just blown away even many big Hollywood movies aren't this good
This is truly inspiring and an excellent imaginative story an brilliant production, bloody well done
Whats the timeframe for when actual gameplay will look like this?
Amazing!! I need a full movie of this!!
Amazing. Polished short.
Very well made short movie... amazing! Loved it.
movie worthy - I hope you make it and it will do well. very beautiful and compelling
This is excellent. Among other things, the editing of the action was superb!
VERY GOOD and very realistic, not just in visual quality but also in story line. Maybe just a little TOO realistic! want *MORE* !!!!!
This needs to be a game. AAA title for sure.
Corridor Crew looked at some of these scenes a while back. Seriously amazing what can be done on a high-end home computer nowadays.
I thought this looked familliar!
Where’s the video?
@@codedxxx Tim Webber, the director, was a guest in _VFX Artists React 104_

For a second I thought this is real wow nice work who ever did this
Holy shit i was speechless after watching. Soo good!
Breathtaking.
Does this mean that somewhere there's a full 3D model of Alba Baptista?
well put together.
Bravo!
Fresh story, amazing graphics.
Bravo!
Instant sub. Awesome work!
Really well done. Excellent CG work. Great cinematography. Great acting. Loved it.
