After Years (Post Apocalyptic Series) EPISODE ONE

~ Ok so I finally got around to uploading the first two episode (they've been sitting on my hard drive for months). I realize that nothing about this video is excellent and many things are flawed, and while it's very amatuer I'm still proud of it. I hope everyone can enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it. ~

This series follows the disturbed survivor of a series of plagues, wars, and disasters that made the desert the last refuge on the planet. People are forced to scour the merciless plains for what little food, supplies, and ammunition are left.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I filmed the first two episodes of this series over two weeks with a couple of faithful actors, costumes, props, and one camera. I plan on uploading what I have so far so please stay tuned and subscribe if you want to see more!

Music is by Godspeed You! Black Emporer

An Important note for viewers: this was made by my son when he was about 13. He conceived the story, the setting, the clothing, props...he did all the camera work, the music, and all post-production video editing and sound editing. This was his work, start to finish. I just put on the mask and did exactly what he told me...or got yelled at.

Love how he just made this one film, like “my work here is done” I think it’s one of the best apocalypse films on YouTube.

[TheEpicDartfish]

I absolutely love this video! Not enough films show how everyday life would be for the average survivor. I'm excited to watch episode 2, and hopefully any other ones you have. I never thought I'd be so entertained by simple scavenging and travelling. I love the attention to detail, like how the survivor is experienced (resting, being careful, checking for traps/mines).

[Ssmokythebear]

I love your work you portrayed a realistic lifestyle in a possible apocalyptic catastrophy, I've been waiting almost 2 years for part 3.

There's only one critique I would have for this first episode, and it's something that's taught to every fresh off the bus recruit in boot camp.
Never, ever, ever let your weapon get more than arm's distance from you!
When he crawled under that flattened tank after the ammo can, he left his carbine and the rest of his gear outside.
As soon as he had cleared enough space for him to get his knees underneath, turn around and pull the rest of your gear along with you. Especially if you're lone wolfing it.

This is definitely one of the better Post Apocalyptic short films on YouTube.

There wasn't a reliance on action or a gloomy landscape.

Very Well Done.

[gdub]

I liked it, dreary and tense, but quiet too. Definite sense of alone-ness. Good job.

[ionhunter]

The probing was a nice touch. And spot on!

[bigstacksbruce]

guys its not so much about the materialistic things in the film, its the idea that makes a good film. and this one is a good representation of it

[toosheaproductions]

Had a great fallout New Vegas feel. LOVE it, way better than some of the "pro" shows I dealt with back in the 90s

[brucethompson]

First time I've seen this. Great work. The atmosphere of desolation and loneliness well achieved. Looking forward to viewing the rest. Thank you.

[WWExploring]

Overall excellent work here! Very unique and forward thinking.  Thanks for sharing.

[hotshothomestead]

I would definitely love to see more from this series

[richarddeveas]

I liked the compassion he showed to the dead!

[daleskidmore]

Enjoyed this episode very much. Thanks for sharing.

[DianeHasHopeInChrist]

Great short film! Love the storyline, cinematography....you are talented!

[chris]

Good camera work, close up/blurred focus shots, really added to the suspense.
Thanks

Everything this guy has is brand new without a scratch or speck of dust on any of it.

[Brdgwtrpielot]

I liked this.  Just take it in.  No questions answered, it is just the way it is.  These films always have the important issues up front: water, food, make sure you're not going to bump into anybody.

I have spent soooo long looking for post apocalyptic short films focusing more on the survival aspects rather than people runnin around killing eachother. I'm talkin years. This isn't exactly what I had in mind it's is the closest I have come across. Great job! :)
