The Cloud Racer
Dir. Joe Sill
www.impossible-objects.co
“A sci-fi proof-of-concept short heavily indebted to underdog sports films, cinematic aviation spectacles, and old-school chase filmmaking. While the 100% CG film soars via its cutting-edge “virtual production” techniques and real-time workflows, its soul is firmly grounded in old-school Hollywood sensibilities, resulting in a glossy confection that is a pleasing amalgam of forward-looking futurism and nostalgia.”- S/W Curator, Jason Sondhi ☁️🏁

How this only has 29K views is a crime. This as a intense high skill ceiling game would be the best!
This is phenomenal cinema! Shakiness makes me a little sick but that's me. Still great.
Amazing, the shaky camera is pretty distracting from the story. Feels like Im on a boat. Actual camera shake from a steadycam is much more natural and watchable than post.
dislike for 3 reasons. the movie was all wobbly, keep it in some angles not in all, especially far away angles needs to be clean. you implemented wokeness and is bad, cringe. man weak soyboy and women "strong, confident" . never go woke, you will lose. you are better than that
— Whoever made this needs to chill on the motion blur and sharpen everything . Its blurness overshadowed everything else .
Also , the sound effects & BGM is also louder than the speech at some points thus I can’t exactly make out what’s being said .
Why is the camera shaking so much? This is epilepsy without flashing lights! Jesus Christ is this another Bethesda glitch?!?! I've seen deadliest catch episodes with better camera stability, this isn't art, this is a migraine with a side of aneurysm!
motion Blur the movie
gen z's should not try to tell stories
bro, i can't get past 3o sec without nausia
Looking great!… but this constant camera shake (even during wide shots…), too many close ups and omnipresent "epic" music ruins the experience (makes everything same same and ruins the tempo). That being said, the story is interesting enough that it makes you care for the characters. For a racing short movie, that's even more impressive than the graphics.
My only question is if this was motion captured if this were not than it is super impressive it is still impressive if it is motion captured
Outstanding job, the amount of work that goes in to make these ships fly smooth through the courses is crazy. We have to bring up how good some of those cinematic shots were. The girl with the sunglasses looks incomparable to a live action movie on the big screen. Keep up the great work 🎉
Motion sickness. The direction of this film is terrible.
this looks good
Camera made me sick

Anyone know , how to do facial animation in unreal engine
I'm not the first to say something about the shaky camera. I won't be the last either. It's absolutely nauseating to watch like this.
Damn does the camera man have Tourette’s? 😂👌
Dizzy! It makes me want to throw up. Way too much shaking.
Now that’s more like it! Something us sci-fi nuts can easily relate to. More!
Amazing graphics 🔥🔥🔥
Daamnnn ,,This is sooo Goood
1:50 his face lmao. and also the camera is too shaky.
