I don't know what to say about this film, it's very mysterious. And i don't know about what the film is:) But this is a great job to make film so realistic. Congrats!
Troche sie spoznilem, bo dopiero teraz zobaczyłem ten film... Ale naprawde gratuluje Ci. Świetnie Ci to wyszło!!! Chciałbym w przyszłości umieć zrobić coś takiego.... hehe Tylko nie wiem jak...:)) Podziwiam Cię za pomysł i wykonanie!!! Pozdrawiam!!!
Bravo!!!! Wykonałeś niezła robote!!! Gratuluje!!!
This is a superb short film. An inspiration to all 3d artists. maybe you could write some tutorials on how you put it all together...
Fantastic work,testifies to the power of Cinema 4D....Pls,keep the flag flying. Everyone is of course free to express opinions, but they're also free to post their better version of "Mantis".
The textures and lighting worked very well together. The whole look of the film corresponded with the story line. It was a very unique and refreshing idea. Excellent work!
v.good concepts and well done graphics and effects the just great keep up the good work :)
BAQWAS MOVIE !
its not just a film !!! its another world . superb work.
I felt very attracted for the movie plot. The backgrouds and characters desing mach very well with the story mood. Too bud for the fellow about the end.
Great work and idea. Congratulations for three Polish guys created "Mantis". This film shows that good story is a core of creating great film. Technology, skills and software is only a tool. P.S. Gratulacje za malo efektów, kolorów i innych rozpraszajacych bzdetów. Film jest zaskakujacy i daje sie ogladac kilkadziesiat razy. Nie nudzi. Brawo.
GREEEAAT!!! Fantastic film, and I don't get people who complain for story. The atmosphere is similar to the TOOL videos (if someone saw them). First 10/10 in this portal.
great story, definately the best part of the film..
Very well done. Contrary to some of the posts, I found the plot to be very well-translated... definately a good representation of the irony which can accompany love. Nice texture work and lighting. Great film, saved permanently on my HD :).
A sad take on real life really....pity.
Well, I thought it was great animated... I thought the story was good.. I see it as that she had been through what she put him through, or something like that.. Anyway.. 8/10 for highest score: better story and smoother movement (enviorment vs. object-movement)
I was really impressed with the film, however I do agree with the one who said the story is the weak part, but I wouldn't put it so strongly. Maybe the girl robot, the 'evil' one replaced a missing part with one from the tinkerer's body or something like that, to tie up the film more completely. Excellent, though, and don't pay too much attention to criticism. I only wish I could do something as amazing.
I liked the hidden meaning in the title "Mantis", which relates to how the male bot is killed by the female. Great movie!
Very nicely done, with a good twist at the end.
The point of the story (I believe)is that life is full of unexpected events. No one is prepared when something out of their expectation happens.Anything can happen to YOU! I love the renders of this film - beautiful! Nice work! Sorry, Great Work!
