Cosmic Lodge short film

Interesting work. I'd love to see what your unique brand of imagination would look like after a month working in RG3. I bet it would be epic.

sorry, but what is RG3?

I can tell you but it's just words on a page so.........


Don't worry I didn't steal your idea, this is an unlisted video that only shows up in this form post.

The information it contains should allow you to up your game pretty much overnight.

whoops... I was suppose to reply to this thread and not just start to write a new comment.

Thanks for the tips, do you think that I should make a version 2 on my channel as well? I do like my original film too.


Btw. I did record all the sound effects myself for this film.

- The worm like sound you hear in the end of the video was recorded by scraping a vacuum cleaner hose, and then I added some effects to it.
- the distant horn sound was recorded by blowing air on a flute and then slowed down.
- some other sounds I recorded was that I dragged a chair a bit to get that sound, I also used my own voice that I combined with the sound.
- The tv knob you can hear in the beginning of the video was recorded from a soda can.
- the only thing that wasn't self recorded was the rain sound. That I took from cymatics sound pack I once bought.
- the thunder sound came as if on order when I was editing the credits on the last day. I was walking towards the food store and it suddenly started to thunder. It was good that it did not rain at all just the thunder I needed that day.

Your video had inspiring ideas I did like that could improve the film. I don't use much of ai for my work, I mainly only use AI for texturing things.

I didn't imagine that my response would have any effect on your original film. It's cool as is. I just wanted to introduce you to these new tools that are available.

Your sound work is good, and doing your own foley is a great way to get a unique sound all your own.

While I'm deep into AI (I started developing AI stuff around 2000, and build my own AI's in addition to using literally everything out there) I think it's best as a hybrid thing, like you mentioned regarding the textures.

Indie film is tough because you have these great creative ideas you want to share, and the normal way to do that is to have 80 people team up (the studio method). I only suggest learning about these various options to help lighten your workload, or enable you to produce bigger projects in the same time period. I don't think of it as a replacement for a filmmaker.

As far as making a version 2 on your channel, that's totally up to you and I have no real opinion. I'll mention an option that I would be thinking about if I were in your place though. You could investigate the new options, and if there were things about your film that you wanted to do but couldn't pull off, or you've had some cool new ideas since you finished it, you might be able to go back and push it farther. I've spent many years making films, but despite working and spending year after year, there were some things I wanted to do but simply couldn't until these new options came around. Like having a music track with multiple choirs harmonizing cluster chords, or having a good sound effect for a huge crowd. Basically my intent was to introduce you to some cool new options that could free you creatively. What's next is up to you!
