The Automaton

konstruct

The Automaton is a short film me and some buddies put together a few years back. its got some funky music, bad acting and some dry atmospheric bits but it was fun putting it all together.

lemme know your thoughts, good and bad

Nice! At first when I read the opening screen, I thought

"That's kind of strange that they're showing the definition with 'mindless follower' included" because at that point I assumed that's the context the title was mainly referring to, which would have made it kind of metaphorless if it said it right there,

but

then it made sense.

Wasn't expecting the FX shot at all, so it made the realization of what was going on have some extra punch and made it a "Whoa! What was THAT!?" kind of moment.

Cool stuff.

Hey man, just checked it out. I'm pretty impressed. Definitely agree with fly, the shot at the end caught me off guard.

What was your role on it konstruct?

Michael Knubben

yeah, I liked it. Just short enough to work, and the acting from everyone involved was certainly good enough. Personally I didn't think the guy who got knocked down ('The Dude'-lookalike) was terribly convincing, but everyone else played their part very well.
Nice atmosphere, and the b/w-look worked. I'm glad you chose not to show the helicopter at the end, as it would have been good for nothing but a gratuitous display of Special Effects

Man!
This reminds me of that time when movies where good.
5 stars!
