A bump for justice and a request for: "Mis-Drop: File 2." Outstanding. Break a leg!
More!! This is what starship troopers should have been like
+Nicholos Caudillo What? You mean instead of being awesome? When there's an infinite amount of room for new awesome movies, why would you want to replace a classic one with something else?
+Nicholos Caudillo YES!!!! The book would have made a GREAT movie! Instead we got something else entirely. This is much closer in tone and concept to Starship Troopers.
+Nicholos Caudillo Absolutely! Much closer to the book. "I always get the shakes before a drop"
The 90's starship troopers is not a classic in my opinion, so much of the book's story was not used nor was the setting accurate. Read the book, then let's discuss.
+Nicholos Caudillo your absolutely right. compared to the book the movie sucked.
The extended faceplate sequence is one of the best sequences I've seen in any sic-fi. Very tight. Masterwork.
This was outstanding! I loved every bit of it, with the little hints of sub plots and all. Now, is it just me or does the old timer talking to the soldier in the beginning look and talk like John Hurt? In the credits he is called "Larry Rew", but he reminds me of the great John Hurt.
Gotta say I was impressed. Considering how little of the enviroment you actually see, this was amazing.
Brillient use of visuals and simple camera angles. Want a second part please.
Nice touch naming the firm "Hamilton, Heinlein and Banks". For those who don't get it, that's a reference to 3 famous science fiction authors:
Peter F. Hamilton
Robert A. Heinlein
Iain M. Banks
Wow. What a stunning short. This is the kind of stuff I love to watch. It was greatly immersive and well done from a storytelling front.
Good movie, good story, good visual effects. But the main character's face expressions are missing at some points I think. Yet it is worth watching.
Excellent story.
Continue to stage two CG. Do you copy.
Interesting, i wouldn't mind seeing more. It seems to be one of the better indies. Thanks for the upload,
Nice. Well done. I really like the prolonged one camera angle telling the story reflected off his visor. That's pretty unique. Nice to see fresh approaches and ideas. More please.
Outstanding!! Extremely captivating. Love to see more.. tomato meter: 10
Holy crap this movie's amazing ! Outstanding work !! LOVE IT !
i hope you get millions of views this deserves it
The entire time I was just watching the bpm rise and fall in the lower right hand corner.
That's some attention to detail.
Did anybody else notice Rowan (aka. Baelin the Fisherman) from VLDL at 0:22?
“G’mornin’... Nice day for fishin’, aint’t it? Uh-hyuh!”
great short film...good script, good acting and special effects
expectant waiting for the other files :O
this film was awesome^^
Awesome!!! ***** Great creative ending!
Absolutely brilliant.
Great premise, great show!
HOLY SHIT! I need a mod where this is the intro to Halo 3 ODST.
For awhile, thought I was playing the best video game of my life
Really liked this, is there more? Airborne!!!!
Amazingly clever, I can dig it!
For a minute I thought he was stuck in orbit unable to drop because his ship got hit.
Well done. Good story and acting.
Top freakin notch,more,more,more.
Would like to see more of this but personally dont hold out much for that rookie.. Guess he missed basic..
laughin sohard at that banter
I really enjoyed this. Not too much Information gets the imagination working :-)
I completely forgot that this was about some guy watching a file.
That was awesome!
I hope that you finish this.
Well done!
holy hell that was awesome.
That was epic.
So very cool! :)
Nice!
WTF......LIKED IT !
whens the movie???? lol good shit man
great.
Is the occasional pixelation in the video an intended effect or UA-cam/my device playback error?
One Word I've been seeing that too
One Word Intended, it's meant to simulate the corruption caused by the damage to the recording device.
Well made. Thanks for the upload, CGBros!
wow awesome.. dont quite get what happened at the end tho with the masive truck dringing over us ?
you should have watched all the credits :)
God, that was absolutely fucking brilliant; really drew me in. All credit to the creators, genuinely fantastic.
Well done!
Now this is what I want to watch in a cinema, not a fast-paced camera-flying-everywhere action movie, but just Sci-Fi realism. :D You can tell from the comments that we want more. ;)
That squaddie banter was top notch!
SinDawg030 Sounded like all the shit me and my shipmates talked in the Navy.
+SinDawg030 A bunch of assholes, torturing the FNG :D.
***** A tradition as old as the profession of soldiering itself!
Ooooh, man, that's fucked up. Funny, though. I had it easy. Since I was Navy, everything was hypergay. Boot Camp got started early when a WO2 called me into the RDC eating area. So, with ten RDCs screaming at me, I bravely charge into the RDC Mess to so he could tell me "have a good time at boot, boot."
Wow, just like the comment below me, please make a sequel. Or a full length. I wanna see that invasion. My mind is blown.
Halo 3 ODST: The Movie. Even had a normal Xbox live chat conversation at the beginning.
One of the better short films I've seen on the youtubes.
it was amazing how they were able to do all of that by just showing that guy's face in the first 7 minutes or something
If someone had showed me a story board with that concept i would have said rewrite it please. But they actually pulled it of :)
I am guessing they're mercenaries and the person looking up the files is an accountant with orders to find any reason not to pay the families of the deceased.

Note he said 'pilot distraction'. Since the guy in the helmet was just a grunt the accountant was trying to find out why the insertion went wrong for that merc.
Flying into flak with a troop transport isn't a picnic, to be sure. The grunts gut punched out too early for a good insertion pattern, and then the ship crashed because the pilot was 'distracted' by loss of flight control.
Azmar Nox if you look close when he is writing the note there is a comment above from the Black Rock Industries wich is for the accountant...it reads ''reduce liability exposure''....now from what i know, that right there is saying to cover their tracks on the troop transport failure...
+Azmar Nox no, they were in the middle of insertion when she was hit and did an emergency purge.
The chat in the drop pod is like your average team conversation in games like CoD hahaha
Glad I'm not the only one who remembers the ole "Hi!! I'm a 15 second bomb!! 14 13 12 11...."
Don't get me wrong...I really liked this; but I'm glad they were mercs. Professional military aren't thinking about sex the night before. We're thinking about the Mission.M. Gacesa , CPT. retired ,U.S.A., Airborne
Thanks for your comment CPT Gacesa. I'll keep that in mind for the next one.
Thank you for taking the comment for what it's worth...very rare for the internet. I do really like your creative talents. Much better than most movies. Keep up the good work!
Mikhailia Gacesa Thank you for your service.
My thoughts also Sir, but great video all around. CJ Fmr. Sgt. 2/504 PIR 82nd Airborne. OEF II.
Sgt. Airborne TY 'All American' NonCom ! Salute...
Yep! It's good alright. Ferand Peek has damn potential. Plz go and do some real/big SciFi stuff.
Really intense, well-written and well-acted. Nice work all around!
Well done, you glorious bastards. Absolutely fantastic.
excellent! Dont waste your talent. I hope some great future is ahead for you and we will see some more of such films instead of the mediocre run of the mill things Hollywood spits out nowadays!
Hot damn. That was a very well done short. Can't wait to see what else you've cooked up.
Very unique, entertaining and interesting! Amazing
*sci-fi shorts resurgence*
Found myself on a trail through some recent sci-fi shorts. High quality concepts and well put together, like this one.
With our next function of the prototype, we'll be able to offer producers of these shorts a unique, super-slick means to market that operates like a crowd-funding platform and distribution channel. Some of these guys deserve money. I observed a few comments where viewers actively ask how they can fund these things. Our app does just that.
How do I go about finding the best of the next?
Wow hope there will be parts for each voicefile oO
The sound and voice acting is mind blowing.
Love how your profile picture is the insignia of the Astral Knights from the DoW 40k Universe...
Vinnie Hagler Its the Aquila Imperialis...
That's basically how I feel on Planetside 2 when I get dropped with an enemy Vanguard behind me.
Great stuff, by the way. :D
"Shines the name, shines the name of Rodger Young.."
Nice work, great short.
make a sequel to this. It's freakin awesome. Want to know what happens after. Do they assault the fortress. Whatever happens just do I and keep up the good work.
spc Davidson why is he coughing INSIDE his spacesuit ?
Ivan Diablo Looked like a sort of chemical imbalance to the filtration system when they took a flak round to the fuselage. That's why he cut the feed to that specific hose when he started coughing. Perhaps over-saturation of nitrogen into the oxygen mixture.
Ivan Diablo he's still human.
+ImperialChameleon Combat damage. A nicked hydrolic line or burning fuel could get into the ships air supply. The pod crew chief states so, "You will be on ship air till you launch, and than this will get you down." So when he cuts the air, he going on the native air inside the pod.
+Simplefng That's a great point. I didn't think of that.
What a unique and brave new style to look at the 'guy' and the mirror of what he's seeing. So personal seeing what he's feeling and his reactions. Unlike the 'pay guy' who is very impersonal and doesn't make sure Glenn's family gets much. Excellent juxtaposition. I cared for Glenn and wanted him to succeed. Well done drawing me in so quickly and thoroughly. Bad bad 'pay guy'. Tsk tsk.
The Forensic Accountant clearly wanted to look into it more.
This concept could be developed into an ODST movie. I love the set up: soldier with a head cam. Footage being reviewed by an ice cold official. This could easily be: ODST soldier whose data is being viewed by an ONI Official. We care for the soldier, however the official whose eyes we see the story through views him as an asset nothing more. A single "serial number" out of the many. Him being more annoyed that the soldier is not doing its (I used its consciously) job to maximum efficiency. He is not interested in the humanity of the soldier.
Here is a quick idea of the story:
ODST goes AWOL.
ONI Official looks through the footage. The UNSC is invading a sangheili colony. The soldier believes that he is defending humanity against the creatures who invaded Earth in the past. After a day or so he realizes that he is not fighting an evil army but sangheili peasants who just want to be left alone. Who by the end of the Human-Covenant war got as tired of fighting as humanity. A human corporation pushing for exploitation of the region and a paranoid ONI sparks a local conflict triggering a human invasion. The soldier switches sides after seeing the burnt out villages. It could discuss an interesting question: Is it right to take revenge?
Even without the ODST stuff, great work with the short. Good idea of cinematography.
damn...that wrapped me up in it quick. No spoonfed backstory or overweighted plot point...just a glimpse into a fragment of reality and human nature... Technically, overlapping the action over the actors face is brilliant...this short doesn't waste a second. Well...fu(
Lots to see in just the opening of such a short film...changing in flight status boards, the aftermath of a one night stand, ragging the cherry...and one I thing remember the traditional oh shit before hitting the ground, variations of THAT said personally on some 110 drops in the old 193d, 82d, and 18 ABC....
and the ending was pretty unique one must say
That was quite cool... I gotta say.
And apart of that... Aw, C'mon! Pilot distraction? He gave her something to look forward to. That isn't distraction. It's called motivation...
And just when Glenn thinks he's toast, master chief comes and saves the day!
I want to hear the complete lyrics to the chant the mercs are singing.
one of the best I have watched,, riveting
ɷɷɷɷ I Have Watchedddd This Movie Leakedd Versionn Heree : - t.co/NdLgwVlw7a
Reported bitch #UA-camHeros
Yup, the entire film playing across his faceplateglass made more intense
Mr. Peek: I have loved good sci fi, both books and films, since I was a kid and before I even knew the name of the genre. I thought this to be excellent. You used a very unique plot, along with great visuals and a good score, to hold my interest until the end. As others have stated, I wanted to see more. I think that's one of the hallmarks of what a film maker hopes to achieve, in my opinion. Well done and I hope we do see more from you.
Thanks so much! Like you I've read and watched sci-fi since I was young and really wanted to make something in this genre. Glad you dug the film!
This is amazing, well worth watching, special effects, story, acting, suspense, twists and turns, all used to the right quantity which enhances the overall finished film.
My only disappointment is people in the comments asking what happens before, what happens after... Do people no longer have imaginations?
It's not a Michael Bay film... We don't need the whole things spelt out multiple times telling us what to think or feel...
Think more "District 9" (read the credits)
Pay attention Hollywood. These indie films and their creators are coming to gobble you up 😉
Especially since Crowdfunding and Crowdsourcing are viable now.
Who knew crows had acquired so much wealth! ; )
Jay Merrifield
Fixed.
the acting in this short film was amazing, considering most of these have god awful acting, or just ok acting
Now you've gota admit...
That is a NOICE! payoff after the risky but spot on length of the reveal.
Nicely upping the bar, hitin out the park after a great establishment of the headspace of the starting setting. Well timed indeed to bring in the second long one take shot. Superb.
Excellently conceived, perfectly executed.
Props to all involved, great sound design & foley sound too.
>places right fist on open left palm and bows
If I had to sum up a random plot for this it would be: a odst is on harvest fighting insurgents
!!!
Well now I just wanna see what his next file was.
LOVE LOVE LOVED IT! That's is how visual effects are used as a tool to enhance the story and not the other way around.
Pretty amazing script writing! Had me going all the way!
The acting is a little spotty in places for me (all down to the central character). But the visualisation and POV used was excellent and original. I also really like the story, and it makes me want to know more about the company, and where/who/why they were fighting.
Very nice work, Ferand Peek, et al!
Does the radio chatter in the drop pods remind anyone else of your average Call of Duty session, or is it just me...
jamescr101 Never experience that in any of my CoD sessions. Either everyone too focus, or nobody use mic.
But then again, I play on PC.
Yea lol in the pre game lobby
+jamescr101 a lot of us troops play cod, i remember selling a cod disc to a soldier whose adress was ramstein airforce base, thats when I made the connection
Music wasn't what I'd have chosen and I'd be happier muting it and putting on some John Williams.. Besides that, absolutely amazing.
Fuck. Great dialog. Brilliant photography. But, the scene just before Glenn gets strapped in, is that CGI?
Why do all the short cg films on UA-cam have no story or decent plot?
Still yet to find one that's written well,
Disappointing 😒
This is excellent.
Is that Commissar Holt? I'm pretty sure it is!
IronRooRoo *slap* COMMISSAR Holt! (Good spot there!)
SinDawg030 [ Aims laspistol ] Choose your next words with exceptional care! :D
IronRooRoo Ah those good old cheesy live action cutscenes, where have you gone?
I love how this plays out from beginning to end where it's an accounting of the file up to the point that the transmission was ended. Excellent way it was set from start to finish where it leaves you wanting to know more but has a conclusion so you can at least get the feel of an end.
Would like to see more set in this time and universe, possibly with the person in question that was being investigated or even with more of the overall universe.
Thank you for the work you have done.
Ever wonder what a ODST feels like on his first drop. Pretty much sums it up.
This was great writing, acting and production I was on the edge of my seat.
Tough critic here. That was excellent in all ways. Very good job.
Nice idea. As usual with shorts, I would like to see more but well done in time available.
Next part, NEXT PART!
Please stop putting "Black" in names to describe fictitious private merc/security companies. Its done to death. Great short. The reflection VFX was wonderful.
Blame Blackwater USA. Though I think they might have changed the name.
Incredible use of (I'm assuming) limited resources. Very well done. It's uncommon that I'm left wanting more from a short that long.
yeah that was wat i imaged wat it was like to lauche the rought necks in the book must have been like.
