Striking Sci-Fi Short of Robots Fighting Final War - FORTRESS

View fullsize

Dima Fedotof is a CG enthusiast from Russia who directed this insanely stunning sci-fi short film called "Fortress." It's something quite impressive that I think you will really enjoy watching. It was able to suck me right in, and one of the only issues I had with it is that it was too short. The director describes the film as a cartoon parable, explaining,

[Note: This roughly translated quote is taken directly from the video description]

Despite the fact that mankind is killed, the war still continues. War continued with automated system left by people. One of the last surviving bomber and its pilot still performs its task. The city is dead for a long time. Dead people who built it. Dead people who gave the order to destroy the city. And war will continue until subside echo of humanity. But life will always find a way to survive. Cassette bomb submunitions became a fortress for the grass.

I love the atmosphere, setting and tone of this movie, and the designs are very cool and intriguing. I think a feature length film based around this concept would be pretty badass.

Не смотря на то, что человечество погибло, война все равно продолжается. Ее ведут автоматизированные системы оставленные людьми. Но жизнь всегда найдет для себя лазейку.
