Warlock (A Fantasy Short Film)

- "For generations, sorcerers have fought over an ancient talisman which provides unmatched power and allows the user to never tire. Even the best of men can do dark deeds for a chance to possess the talisman. Now, a lone warlock strives to end the cycle of violence..."
My first short film since graduating from university. I was excited to make another big project after finishing The Utopia Trial, so I just jumped straight into another. This was actually another idea I had for my graduation film, but I made Utopia for uni because it had more VFX to make for my degree, how wrong I was. This film had so many VFX, it kept me very busy through the first lockdown.

That feeling of power, to truly have it and to be able to control and move - I really felt like this shortfilm made me see it. Great work ! I'm aspiring to also make fantasy short films, so this is truly inspiring.
Great short film. Tension and mystery right from the opening shots.
Thanks so much! I'm happy to hear it came out as I intended. :)
Loving the classic fantasy theme going on right from the start. Well impressed with the fight scenes, like pure magic based fight scenes aren't easy, but that looked fantastic. Also the tension at the end when he struggled with his decision and we got that open end-like cut, damn, totally got me haha! Awesome work!
Thank you so much mate. It makes me so happy to read reactions like this. So glad you liked it!
Entertaining & Fun!
This was BRILLIANT gripped me from the first shot 👌🏾💯🔥
Thanks so much. It means a lot.
@@LiamJMWilson Yes Liam your writing was done superbly and the effects were great 👌🏾
This was so amazing.
Nice one. I love it when people use their creative energy and put all their effort even in the shortest of "films". Your VFX-breakdown on reddit brought me here. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! That is nice to hear. Glad you liked it!
Fantastic short. Good acting, especially from your MC, impressive VFX and shots. My only critique is I feel the dialogue could have been a tad louder for more dramatic effect but overall a really phenomenal job. I could see this airing on SyFy and I mean that in the best way.
Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the feedback too
Great work! Really impressive VFX, especially as a nearly one man post production crew. Loved the BTS videos too!
Thanks so much! Yeah it certainly was a massive undertaking. Glad to hear you liked the behind the scenes stuff too.
Let's gooooo!!! 🤙🤙
Awesome! Love the part where he destroys the sword with his hand!
Sweet! Thanks, I was very happy with how that effect turned out. Glad you liked it!
One of the better spell battles I've seen fasho
Thanks for sharing, I enjoyed that. Nicely done
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed :)
This movies is really great I loved it so much
Really great!
This is so good, I would love a part 2!
👏👏👏
wow this is so well done! i'm so amazed with this after knowing that you used Canon EOS M50.
Thank you. Yeah it's a surprising little entry level camera, but it's still mainly all in the composition and lenses rather than what camera you're using.
@@LiamJMWilson I'm a film student who still got a lot to learn. I'm actually using m50 as well and knowing what it can do with right lenses, editing, and creative vision after watching Warlock made me want to explore this camera more.
i checked your other film and I enjoyed watching it a lot. Can't wait to see your upcoming works!
Amazing work!!!!!
nice creativity with the magic! Good job!
It's 2023 and this is Amazing work...Peace
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed
really enjoyed this great work and the ending wants me wanting more :D
Incredible!!
Frodo had Sam and Gollum...lololol♡♡♡♡
🔥⚡🧙♂️
got a new subscriber and follower here. Great work of art here. I read in reddit that you used canon m50 and some old school lenses for this. This is a gem. keep up the great work, brother.
Thanks so much man! Yep all done with a low budget and that little mirrorless camera. The vintage lenses do give a great image, I was really looking for a vintage kinda look to this to fit the medieval genre.
@@LiamJMWilson Wow. just wow. I also am a proud owner of M50 and I must say, no matter what setup I do i can't even get close to what you did in this Short film. Now, I must look for the same lens you used. I guess that's where I'll start 😅
Well no matter the camera, composition is king, that is what will give you a pleasing image. But these lenses I used are the Pentacon 50mm f1.8 and the Miranda 24mm f2.8.
the thief seems like the villain of the story... bald guy didn't seem that evil. he could of had his own reasons for wanting power like protecting his sister or something
-- the thief also came at him with a pretty lethal weapon, the sword. >.>
some more backstory on both might help. I mean leaving that guy in a tree was pretty coldblooded, and did he just kill him when he pushed him in further?
....still, I think the affects and the acting were brilliant!... Thanks!!!
*my precious* lol. :3
Ooh nice, an interesting perspective, I'm glad it made you think. I did want both sides to feel morally blurred. And thanks for the kind words.
Great job! I'm a filmmaker and huge fantasy fan myself so you got new subcriber :D
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed
these effects are amazing, great job!
Thanks so much man!
@@LiamJMWilson how did you learn to do the guy flying through the air? I've always wanted to try and do a shot like that.
That is a digital double done in Maya. That was just a manually animated human figure with cloth simulation for the cloak which definitely helps sell it more. I went into some more detail on that effect in the making of video.
Yaaasssss
This was awesome! Is there a BTS video?
1. WEAR THE TALISMAN AGAINST YOUR SKIN UNDER PLATE MAIL (first guy)
2. Make some mind control potion you take ahead of time, that automatically activates once the Talisman is in your possession, to ensure you do the thing (second guy)
3. Get some Magical Zit Cream (first guy, come on unlimited power and no healing abilities?) (first guy)
4. IF YOUR FIREBALLS DON'T BREAK HIS SHIELD, TRY A DIFFERENT STRATEGY! Impaling tree branches! Acid jizz on his feet! You're a Dark Wizard, enslave some squirrels!
Good
This talisman wouldn't happen to be a ring, would it? 😉
What special Effekts program Do you use? Looks fantastic
Most of the effects in this were created using Adobe After Effects, with some of the 3D elements being done in Maya.
:)🙂
So how did it actually end, eh? Did he destroy the talisman? Непонятно....
First rule of magic: all of your power lies within yourself. You may use talismans to direct that power, but as soon as you believe the talisman is the source of your power, you become its slave. Then it must be destroyed ... or this will happen, over and over and over again. Do not mistake poetry for reality. It may be the best way to talk about reality, but reality is always beyond language, and you have to remember that. The talisman is a symbol (i.e., language). The actual power comes from within you. Never make yourself a slave to your symbols.
