ArmA 2 Short Film: Dream

Probably the most unique machinima we have ever done. Hope you enjoy it! :)

Hi! I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has supported this channel over the years, it means so much and I am truly grateful to be able to see the positive responses from so many of you. This movie in particular was made during a very dark time of my life and so much has changed since then for the better and so I just want to encourage you, that if you're going through darkness always know that there is an everlasting light waiting for you at the other side. The morning will come. Much love.

so far the greatest game short film I have ever seen!

The amount of emotion that shrouded me as a result of the first few minutes of this film are unmeasurable. I come back time and time again to watch just the first few minutes because it creates a unexplainable feeling within me.

Even after 10 years, I find myself coming back to this video from time to time as a reminder of what, and whom, inspired me to pursue the art of storytelling to this very day. Starting from my own cinematics in ArmA 2 in 2012, and riding that journey until it landed me the job I have now, it's been a helluva ride, ... but it all started for me here, with Dream, and The Beginning of Sorrows. Thanks for lighting that spark all those years ago, BinaryOrchestra!

This video still gets to me even after a year! Please make more.

I watched this for inspiration before I had to do an English exam, writing about conflict. During prep, I just had this playing in the background whilst I worked. Just remembered it now, and decided to find it again - eventually found it, was searching for ages! Still as hard hitting as it was the first time I saw it, and added it to my favourites.

I first saw this machinima 3 years ago and I still come back to watch this video every couple of months. Each time I am left speechless. This is a fantastic machinima, but also a fantastic piece of cinema. Anyone who knows the limitations of the Arma engine (especially Arma 2 with the I44 mod) can appreciate the amount of work that went into this, but what is most impressive are the cinematic qualities of this short film. The transitions are perfect and the story is focused - but perhaps most importantly, the film suggests something and is beautifully rhythmic.

Thank you to Binary Orchestra/Kingdom Creative/Kyle

I hope that you see everyone's appreciation for this work, and continue to make more in the future :)

Great! All of the people watching this should know about what he's really done here though, and how much work all of this REALLY takes. Finding the right animations for this stuff... wow. that must've taken FOREVER. And really, no words were needed in this, which was great. Most Machinima's are ruined with weak voice overs, so yeah, this was great.

[Kurvitssiim]

Music = Perfect, Theme = Perfect, Everything together = PERFECT. I really liked it. You should defenately make more movies.

[AlexanderRuin]

WW2 will always have a place in the hearts and minds of both Axis and Allied nations. Great movie.

[joshuageno]

Thee best arma 2 movie i have seen. I dont even think anything comes close to this. There are actual war movies that don't even come close to this. Amazing

[MrCompdan]

Two words can describe this piece of art, "I cried."

[CommandingSloth]

Not gonna lie, this is the most beautiful video on youtube. This is an emotional feels trip.

[MarcelPleyster]

This is one of those reasons I started working on video games, as a modeller of Invasion 1944 i'm very proud to see such great movies made. Well done on this amazing project!

[TitSalt]

A very emotional piece, you connected with the main character... felt his pain. I cried.

[siaxis]

Might just be the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in a movie.... This cinematic tells more than most of the real movies out there... .This is... Amazing...

[Dnchanter]

There was an interesting pass behind the soldier as he was holding the rpg where you can see through the tube. Given the length of the work two small hiccups is damn good! Wonderfully done!

[dh]

GOD DAMN that Mass Effect 3 music... It sure gives anything that epic feel. Its just... beautiful

[TheCmanPLPro]

This film gives me that knot in my neck; you know, the feeling that comes when you're genuinely sympathetic towards hardship. The feeling was expressed so well! ;')

[MrKazyy]

Without a doubt, the most saddest ArmA 2 video I have ever seen in history of video games.

What got me the most was the ending. Oh jees, the feels.
