and puts it on youtube then hollywood rang him down after almost 5 million views.it costed him 300 dollars to make it. afterwards he signed up with Sam Raimi, the director of the 3 Spiderman movies, Evil Dead etc. and his Ghost House Productions. The guy was like "I loved what you did with 300 dollars, let's see what you can do with 30 million". Federico will shoot the Hollywood movie next year in Uruguay and Argentina, and it's gonna be in theaters in 2012.

Thanks to enjoying access to most of the major global news outlets, I and many others were privileged enough to hear about this when it was still actually news.
Didn't this BULLSHIT appear suspiciously close to the minute YouTube said they're thinking about charging? Hey young directors hellbent on making films identical to shit Hollywood blockbusters, but cheaper. Pay to whore your questionable talent online and we could all win (everyone other than film lovers)

I'm really under-impressed. While that took a lot of skilled work, it was all in really bad taste; the robots design was stupid and the editing was really lame. Can't wait for everyone to start retarding on me.

I'm not sure how throwing a ton of money at him is going to improve the quality of his advert-like films.
I've made a better film about robots and shit and if I'd had $300 to make it I'd have used the money to buy a Playstation or alcohol or something.

You know I saw this a couple of weeks ago and could not figure out why people thought it was so amazing?
The fact that it cost him 300 to produce is a bit misleading and isnt unreasonable. There were no sets, it was lit naturally and the main characters were cgi, so there were no costs.
While the cgi was pretty cool (not great) I cant imagine that Hollywood would give this guy based on his storytelling abilities, that short film had no story whatsoever.

Ah, but Hollywood don't need storytellers, they have scriptwriters for that. They only need vaguely competent goons who won't ask too many questions.

The only novel thing about that clip is that it has Montevideo as the backdrop and not New York or Washington (it couldn't happen in London as you'd be arrested for committing "hostile reconnaissance"). I look forward to the $300 billion remake set in New York or Washington.

how about robots blasting humans for being so stupid? Blasting them for not building solar deserts to ween themselves off oil? Or for not feeding the starving millions. ? at least have some f%=ing meaning !!

well the best thing is that it cost that little and that he's not a professional, you can't really use that arguments
it did still look pretty good. also it's nice it didn't last hollywood length. :)

well there was not real story in there. just robots blowing stuff up.
but in terms of art direction, the shots, editing, framing,....
there is definitly potential in there. (in the guy, not the movie)

I dunno what you're all complaining about, cuz this shit is impressive. Robots coming and blowing shit up sounds like no story, but that's sort of the whole point. It works very well in a short short short film context, but yes, it would suck for 2 hours straight.
When kamikaze pilots were about to crash into Pearl Harbor, you think the sailors requested going from 16:9 to 2.39:1, to get a wider shot of the menacing Japanese planes?
During September 11, who the fuck within 100 feet of that was immediately requesting a plot? They just ran and screamed and cried, cuz nobody knew what was going on.
That's the point of this short film. It's terror, with no explanation. Obviously the robots want everyone dead, so that is their explanation.
Just crazy ass robots saying FUCK YOU DIE, and then doing it.
Robots came to kill everybody-- told in 5 minutes. Pretty solid. It's a tragedy story, and no one but the unknown enemy wins.
However, had I done it, I'd probably have concentrated a bit more on the human sadness, fear, pain, etc. Like I would've had a bunch of babies and old people and handicapped people get knocked over and blown up, to show that nobody is safe from the ultimate robot destructors.

Shit melodramatic music, awful CGI, no real actors, cliché plot, guess this is a blockbuster in the making.

Your problem is you NEED films like this more than you're needed. You couldn't be pompous and 'subversive' without crap films. 8 )
