Check it: Archetype - short film


Visual effects supervisor Aaron Sims showcases his talents in this short film about a robot warrior who decides he no longer wants to serve his primary functions. Intrigue ensues.

The usually modus operandi for visual effects gurus showcasing their work with a short film is to include a lot of technical wizardry, but to only hint at something resembling a story. Sims bucks that trend, and is able to develop the main character pretty succinctly, and the result is a nice little short that showcases his storytelling abilities as much as his special effects prowess.

But you've gotta lose the super-zoom at the beginning, dog. That's never been cool.
