I watch the podcast, just wanted to say thank you for creating short films again. Even if they're not the most financially lucrative, it's the reason a lot of viewers fell in love with the channel in the first place. It's not like a Disney nostalgia, we don't need remakes and reboots, just make short films you love. This one was absolutely sick and innovative!
-
Almost like portal reloaded
-
There's a free Portal 2 mod called Portal: Reloaded that adds a time travel mechanic with you placing a third green portal that when passed through takes you backwards or forwards in time.
-
This idea is used in a pair of Doctor Who mini episodes called Space and Time. The TARDIS lands inside itself, so the interior door and exterior doors act like portals. Then it drifts in time, so people start coming out of one door before they've gone in the other door.
-
5:16 You can use the arm to put yourself into already existing movies. So you can make a corridor video where you put yourself BACK into a previous corridor video like your a time traveler going to fix/break the timeline!
-
01:49 oh god this would make for such a fricken cool fight scene thats "unscripted" looking. thanks
-
The old 1979 movie Time After Time made this point: traveling in time means also traveling through space. It's not done with Einsteinian precision, but the hero (a fictional HG Wells in the 1800s, played by Malcolm McDowell) moves forward in time and ends up in 1970s San Francisco to catch Jack the Ripper (David Warner), who has thrown himself into the future to escape justice in the past.
-
There's a Portal mod called Thinking with Time Machine. Basically you can record and replay 'your past self' and then interact with it as your future self. (kinda like the record feature in Talos Principle)
-
corridor portals are back 🔥
-
How about using the arm to create some controlled camera moves in both forward and reverse? You could totally pull off some mind-bending TENET-style scenes with that setup. Can't wait to see what you guys come up with!
-
I've been re-obsessed with portal lately, replaying the games, praying someone would make a new short film or SOMETHING. sure enough the best team of artists I could hope for were working on it. A+
-
It's crazy that rotoscoping has become so easy that you don't even need to bother to put in a patch of greenscreen for the clock. And that's with all that crazy hair!
-
"What would that look like?" It would look like Outer Wilds 😂
-
The "sending to the past" part remind me the sandwich from The Orville : Careful with that part as you could create a whole new universe.
-
Bro that sponsored segment, the skit made me watch it without skipping 😅
-
4:55 Very similar to Megadeth's "Sweating Bullets" video where Dave is in his own mind prision talking to multiple copies of himself.
-
clockblockers 2 with the new camera!
-
Before watching the video, note that there already is a Portal time travel mod. It's been since 2021 and has the player using time travel portals as part of the puzzle.
-
I absolutely love that the Dan Trachtenberg portal film got a little recognition. it is one of the best short films.
-
Hey Niko, With the sisu arm you could do a time freeze effect or matrix bullet time style short. Also I definitely was lost throughout this video but you guys always explain things so nicely! Great work!
