I can’t believe you didn’t watch all of my vlog
everyone should know that Jack actively deadpanned a full length 30 min vlog of just repeating the same not joke it is magical and no one will ever see it.
I have a feeling I would love pillow number 10
Amber Grace That’s amazing.
Hempton please, stop disguising yourself as "Jack Howard"
I cannot believe your top 10 pillows vlog is missing? It's unlisted, is that it? lol.
LOVE THIS A BIG DEAL.
You slapping two people in a row is one of the funniest things I've seen.
I am very content with this content.
LforLight i read this as i am very content with this content instead of i am very content with the content and i am not content
Whoa, seeing LforLight on a non-Door Monster video? Blasphemy!
LforLight Ah, English.
only with your consent !
This is so genius. The subtle things like when the woman responds "I can hear you" and you just pause it in the middle and walk away instead of hearing it out is way more human and funny than just listening through.
EDIT: Also the incessant "what"s
Those were the two times I really laughed in this. His comical I can't handle this storm out, and just saying what over and over again xD
I would add in the two slaps. I had to pause the video hahaha
What
here from dodie! this is amazing :)
+
Same!
Me too
When a Fanboy who likes stuff you just aren't invested into anymore walks up and uncomfortably reminds you of what you try to move on from
*THE MUSIC WORKS SO WELL IN THIS*
me, 2019: "wonder what dom fera is up to."
watches video from 2017: this will do
Okay this is amazing (dodie was right)
Finally, some new content from Dom.
Now where's Lazer Collection 32
EDIT: Ok, just watched this, and jokes aside, this was absolutely fantastic. You've perfectly summed up the struggles of being a creator in the modern era, while throwing in the Dom Fera charm that has made me a fan of yours for almost a decade. As a creator myself, you inspire me to push past the norm and really make the videos that I want to make. I guess you could say that I think this was quality Content.

Im still waitings for the fart diaries 32
Holy Shit Bro, You're fucking everywhere! First with Gibi and now with Dom.
troyoboyo17 you just had to plug yourself didnt ya
I like the idea that instead of the title being *con* tent, at the end it's con *tent* , because he is happy with his actions.
we kept switching it around on set!! It's absolutely meant to be both!!
That was a good time. Congrats on winning for the writing! You've always been good at comedy, music, and acting in general (sorry, I'm the "fan who knows you as formerly being the Fart Diaries guy), but over the years, your ability to cohesively tell a compelling story has grown the most. It's impressive what you guys used to make for short 3-5 minute sketches, but over the last few years, all of your longer material continually leaves me feeling impressed.
Please don't stop growing
Dom, I really hope I do get to see a big Hollywood movie directed/written by you someday. Because big budget movies SUUUUUUCK right now, and I want to see something with the amount of care and passion you always put into your work, even the pointless shit like laser collection. I remember watching your skits and shorts and thinking, hey, this feels like it used to feel when I'd watch movies as a kid, like Jurassic Park. Like an actual fucking movie. Don't give up, Dom! Don't let your dreams be dreams. For real tho, get into that horrible Hollywood dump of an industry and start the war against those assholes who make movies purely for money. I'll be here, cheering you on.
How can one being be so damn creative?
Love you Dom!
OH MY GOD I love this dearly. The shade at your old youtube fanbase, the comedic timing, the awesome soundtrack (as always). Also, this is really high-quality camera work and lighting and stuff. Gosh, just thank you so much.
The special effects?!?! The writing?? TIM H?? You're spoilin us.
no shade!!!! Dom loves and appreciates anyone who enjoys his work. Even if it's Lazer.
Hi Amber! Well, it's good-natured shade! I didn't intend to suggest it was malicious.
hi!! you're def right about that!
This is a happy sentence :')
Glad you're still making content
Telic no, content is out now he just posted it a few days ago.
you know what i meant. lol
Every single time I see a 15 minute Dom Fera video, I make time out of my day to enjoy it. I don't think I've ever watched a piece that Dom has made and not liked it.
Who is here from Dodies new song?
Megan Waddell

It's been really cool growing up alongside your content, Dom. From being a 10-year old and thinking the Lazer Collection was the funniest shit ever, to being 15 and thinking Hans the Lifeguard was the funniest shit ever, to being 20 and enjoying this - it's funny, but it's also actually meaningful as a standalone work of film. Being able to grow and mature alongside your channel has been such a wonderful experience.
Hero was great. Away was great. This is great. You're getting better at the whole writing and filmmaking thing. Also, this feels like something Edgar Wright could've made, and that's fucking awesome.
Also hard to believe I've been following your content for a decade
that alien poster in the background tho.
okay, so:
script: very doctor who, LOVE it.
music: you WROTE the music WHAT i'm in love with it
everything else: incredible suspense and character buildup/resolve in such a short time frame.
this is what a short film should be. freaking BRAvo
I didn’t understand the bit about the aliens or the plot at all, but fucking genius. Low key funny.
Mr. Dominic Fera, thanks for entertaining me for almost a decade!
*Forget Hollywood. You're too good for 'em.*
Dodie was right. This IS too good for youtube!!
I’m not much of a short film fan or active watcher of short films but I think this was really good!
Dodie’s song sent me (:
I saw a comment saying the aliens are allegorical for the platforms accessible now for content creators, but I like to think the aliens are actually the viewers. It makes the aliens a much more nuanced character in this story and really fits the theme of how numbers of viewers/likes/followers is how people become popular in contrast with legitimately good/original (the two are synonymous, just wanted to add this caveat) content. As such, I see the ending as a sad one since a good writer has to give up his dream to an extent in order to make it now. Instead of scripts and long productions, the theme is unoriginal, bland content that can literally be cranked out in the time it takes to record a video and upload it. He was reticent because he knows it's not what he wants to do and that there is so much more than his talents could go to, but he has to in order to be taken seriously, to get ahead, and to make his dream have any chance at becoming reality. The MC may have solved his problem of sitting down to vlog, but he's added one that is much worse: how to balance doing necessary evils with his overall desires. Well done as always, Dom.
This is exactly what I thought.
Also (I'm so late) it relates to the aliens making things happen, for good and bad people, because followers can be used to spread messages, good or bad, if you're popular online
Thank you for this. Somehow I feel...inspired.
The greatest crime of the modern age is Don Fera's film career not launching to the stratosphere yet.
I know I'll see your name on the silver screen some day, brother. Never give up!
I love the way this was written! When he just stopped the video and walked away was perfect! Way, way funnier and more realistic. All of this was, but I had to watch that moment 8 times.
Just came here from Dodie! This looks actually really good!
Yes, honk, that’ll end traffic, you figured it out
he forgot to attach the script
Perfect. The struggles of wanting to create something magical like we all dreamed of as children but also having to survive in a world where if you aren't advertiser-friendly, click-bait, lowest-common-denominator, or know the right people, you don't eat.
this was absolutely stunning in production, now to binge watch !
why have i not found you before??? the quality, the content, the style, everything is beautifully witty and pleasing. thank you for creating such art. i am now a loyal subscriber.
Always a pleasure to work with you Dom, congrats again on the win!
what was dodie saying about "too good for youtube"??? this is The Good that youtube NEEDS!!!! god i LOVE this!!!!!!
One of the most original pieces I’ve seen in a while, with a witty sense of humor and sci-fi undertone that make it stand out above anything else about not selling out - 10/10
I was expecting an alien to actually show up and do something. Like, how do they actually help everyone? Mind control? See the future? Connect all humans into a global hivemind?
Or is the message that cell phones/vlogging are the aliens and they help everyone? Did the screenwriter get his script made? So many questions at the end.
Ignat Remizov The aliens themselves are allegorical for the accessibility of creators in the digital world. Everyone has the ability to be creators now and that means most will create bad shit that has no business existing but it will also let people who would normally not have the opportunity create something that is wonderful.
It might seem like there’s a sea of shit on youtube, and there is, but along with it we’re able to get content we never could.
As far as questions about the backstory, those answers are irrelevant. Maybe missed an opportunity to comment on the digital entertainment landscape but I think this movie summed it up pretty well.
Dom is making content!
People keep saying youtube is messing with subscriptions but when one of my favorite content creators makes something new I actively seek it out myself.
Love this.
I still cannot understand how a short film about aliens and the future can relate to dodie’s song.
*but also this film is genuinely amazing and I enjoyed it so freaking much, thankyou dom
this was nice. quality content right here. and that part where he just noped the fuck out the door was too hilarious.
This is terrific. VERY well written. I love your sense of humour too.
Those first few minutes seemed... almost too real Dom. An upcoming writer haunted by their early meme success as they try to make creatively fulfilling movies while navigating the trials and tribulations of getting their movie made.
I love it. Go Dom.
I adore the lighting in the daylight it’s so fucking aesthetic for some reason
This... This is pure. You tackle every category of video making, humor, sadness, getting a point out, by god if you keep this up you could make millions off of pornos probably. But that's besides the point, this video has so much charm, and shows a true struggle that creators have, and yeah. Amazing. Keep up this awesome work, please, for the sake of the internet.
still one of the best short films ive ever seen
This is so well directed here for a 5th time rn and enjoying just the same
When you moved to LA and started trying to get your foot into the business, I was worried we were looking at the end of Dom Fera short films. But you're still you. You were able to take your experiences and relay them through the medium in the awesome impressive way you always do. Fantastic
I have watched you since I was 9 years old. Like most people I have stumbled across your channel because of lazer collection. But even then when I was that young I was into everything you did like the Billy Goat Caller, Devil and Daniel Webster, all the little sketches you did with friends, etc. I haven’t stopped watching you since. I’m 19 now and I’ve been going through some things too as an artist/musician. This short film really resonated with me and I am just so happy for you. I’m so proud on how so much you have grown as a film maker and animator. Like after seeing this I went back and watched all your older videos and got kinda emotional because you have grown so much and did not stop. I gotta that your newer short films and especially this one are some of your best work yet. Your work will not be left unappreciated!! You are one of the few people that have inspired me to pursue my dreams as an artist. Thank you for this film and thank you so much for all the things you have created and I wish you nothing but the best.
"back to my r-r-r-r-roots" lol. This had me smiling the whole time.
I keep forgetting there's such a thing as videos you can watch multiple times..
Holy shit the 'lazer fan' parody was amazing.
....if Dommie is getting hassle on his way to being the next Spielberg the I'm gonna stare fire into the hollow skulls of these profit mongers...
Man he submitted that script without even proofreading it
yet another brilliant Dom Fera short film! One day we're going to see a full length feature film in the Cinema from DomFera, and that'll be a great day.
I like how he's trying to do a vlog at the end but the camera is still in picture mode. :P
This is so good. It made me actually laugh. Finding quality content like this on UA-cam is wonderful. Thank you. I wish you the best of luck with everything xx
This was so great oh my god thank you Dommm
"Should I stab him?"
"It's inhibited!"
"Then why do I have it?"
"People are walking their dogs and $hit."
Best film he's made yet! He just keeps getting better!
It's really special when you are a fan of someone and you grow with them. This was really great, don't stop growing and don't stop creating.
Absolutely phenomenal. Honestly where is your Netflix original?!?!
Aw man, now I feel super nostalgic for old youtube
This was so good
1:13 - 1:37 Lmao I think we all know what inspired this small scene. Really makes you think about how many times Dom has had this happen, and it'll probably never stop.
I love this live-action installment of lazer collection. I'm pleased that you made a device that shoots the lazer's to add to the realism. Also, this one was so long! I love how much you've improved the lazer collection and I'm looking forward to more.
I remember seeing this short film at Buffer Fest last September in Toronto. It's as awesome now as it was back then. You definitely have a new fan here dude!
Man this film is so fucking good. I do love Lazer Collection as part of my history as a person, but it is what it is and we didn't need more. It sucks Dom gets bugged about it, but honestly, the fact that we got THIS kind of makes me happy it happened. If only a little.
Dom, I would totally watch your vlogs. You're very charismatic so you could be doing almost anything and it'd be entertaining. Something like a weekly vlog would be cool.
"You used to do UA-cam right?" Straight in the chuckles
Phenomenal. This content is way better than what UA-cam is putting out now-- and I love how we all saw it was Dom Fera and stopped everything we were doing to watch this out of disbelief and wonder
Holy shit...
The script Ben is writing...
*ITS THE FUCKING ENDING OF THE MOVIE*
this amazing film needs more attention
Well this was surely an unexpected surprise! Did Christmas come early this year? Are you secretly...Kris Kringle!?
I may not have proof that you are indeed Santa, but you sure deliver like he does! This was one of the most professional-looking shorts you've ever done! I'm really blown away at how well everything was executed in this. The timing, the framing, the color, the acting, and the effects were all phenomenal. You really outdid yourself on this one, Dom. You've grown a lot. It's SO very apparent in your craft and attitude. This is the reason you are my favorite content creator. You ignite a spark of something truly special into everything you make, no matter how wacky or serious it may be. You have got the inklings of greatness in you my friend, and I believe that one day you will reach your dreams. Congrats to you and everyone who helped make this a reality! It was well worth it! :)
Great job as always Dom!
5:53 That nope was priceless
2 vids in 1 day? What the fuck has gotten into you?! YOU’VE CHANGED!!!!
The traffic line killed me
I give this flick awanna these 👌
I really enjoy the shorts you make, Dom. I can't wait to see what else you come up with
Ayyyy, always good to see new stuff from Dom! Been following for like 8 years now my man, keep up the brilliant work.
This is so good, your film making qualities are getting better and better.
this was awesome! dude you have real talent, so curious to see what you do next
Loved it! The “what” scene was also genius. Good job :)
THAT WAS GREAT CONTENT.
LIKE BUTTON=SMASHED.
I enjoyed this and I wish you the best Dom. The effects were on point and your character writing is stellar. Good work to you and everyone involved.
This is my favorite short film so far. Thanks, Dom!
I thought it was shaping up to be a pretty sad story about the corporate machinations of how our world works these days but then it was suddenly pure fun. Like, yeah, working in that industry is going to suck, but don't let it stop you from doing what you really want? Best of luck keeping it all as real as it gets.
I love this so much, thank you for making it x
This is so great! I love seeing how you’ve grown as a film-maker. This one may be my favorite yet. I absolutely loved it!
That was so entertaining that I couldn't take my eyes off it, good job - also the effects are really well done! =)
This may be your best film yet. I absolutely loved this!
This video was so amazing. Great production, writing, acting, and message with the story. And soundtrack! We’re always here to support you! Another great creation :)
Every one of you people are super talented. Keep kicking ass.
...and, y'know, get those numbers up.
I feel personally blessed when I see an upload from you in my sub box. Been watching since die now or live forever. Great fuckin work dude
This was so beautifully written and thought out. In today's age where every created is pushed to thrive on UA-cam, you depicted the greater perfectly. Fucking amazing
I wish I could write dialogue as snappy as yours, your stuff is always great
Excellent work, as always! Cleverly written, beautifully executed, and I always appreciate your attention to the music; you've never underestimated the value of a good soundtrack, and how it helps set the tone and keep the immersion strong, and I love that. Keep it up!
This needs so many more up doots
