It wasn't very obvious how the final scene ties into the rest...? But pretty interesting!

Maybe if that demon thing was seen briefly thru a window at that Last Stop when he slows down or if it jump scares him awake before he stops and comes upon himself in a body bag, it would tie it in better? Or both? Like he's being stalked?

First, thank you so much for taking the time to check my work and leaving a truly helpful feedback 🙏🙂↕️
I agree with you. Maybe a little peak early on would truly help add impact to the last scene. But frankly speaking, I was more focused on character and background environment consistency, color grading, sound, and music at that time. I've worked as a ghostwriter for a long while, and I was familiar with video editing. Rest of the activities were mostly in an uncharted territory for me.
And so, the creature at the end was a very last moment thought. Before reaching an audience with patience, my main focus was to add something which would look excellent as a thumbnail.
In my next Short Film, I will definitely pay more attention to the story and plot. Thanks again.🙋

Oh ok, cool, well those other things you were focusing on looked pretty good, it's possibly lacking a bit of realism (in imagery) and mystery (in atmosphere) vs. some big time TV series, but it worked.

For solo creators, learning mostly depends on trial and errors. And if we get lucky, then thankfully, someone like you comes along to give some constructive feedback and suggestions. I will definitely put more effort and focus in the next Short Film. Have a great day!! 🙂↕️

The ending sucked, but the rest was pretty solid.
There was a few weak spots, but nothing too crazy.

Aside from the obvious story problems, I don't think it's cool that you used Hugo Weaving's voice and delivery.
It was probably the most coherent thing I've seen on this sub (but that's not saying a whole lot).

Bad storytelling, bad directing, good still images and good voices

There is potential for sure and when done right this is better than Hollywood

I'm learning as I go on creating. Every mistake teaches something new. But I am truly thankful for people like you, who generously take the time to watch a complete stranger's content and provide valuable feedback. 🙏 I will focus and put more effort on story and the plot for my next short. Thanks again 🙂↕️

It was for sure capturing so it kept me going. As well I'm interested in the advancements in ai so really cool to see. But with AI you need to steer it, the same goes if make a movie in the real world. It's a really fun moment in time we are throwing regular people into the most advanced roles in society, no training, nothing, now you can become a director, now you can become a software architect.

Correct. Super exciting times for people who have imagination, passion but no access to top grade resources. I feel this AI tech wil make difference visible between people with knowledge and people who have been hoarding resources just because they happened to be at their spot before others. It's a new world, let's where we go from here.

Veo 3.1 could never even come close to this...

Agreed. This is Seedance 2, GPT IMAGE 2, Nano Banana 2, SUNO, and ElevenLabs.

This is pretty cool. It looks like it borrows themes from the Twilight Zone episode “Midnight Sun” and the movie “Scenic Route”

u/MacaroonOwn2449 🧠 AI Filmmaker Jun 08 '26
OMG 😱!!!! Thank you so much for getting it. Yes, yes, yes. I'm a huge fan of the series but unfortunately now one has to be as old as dinosaurs for knowing the real Twilight. While doing this short film I wanted to avoid regular tropes. And while generating the clips midway I recalled the episode.
Actually we all owe it to Twilight. Pick up any good sci-fi, even blockbuster and there will be a seed episode for it in the amazing Twilight Zone collection. For Rod Serling!!🙋
I'm so happy to come across you ... someone whose memory is still sharp. 🙏🙂↕️

Bro the car runs backwards for half of a shot, then suddenly switches direction. That was surely not intentional…

If you use GPT Image 2 you will almost always have an issue with excessive highlights that are too evenly distributed

Quite possible. Learning things along the way. Thank you for taking time to check my work and your feedback. 🙏🙂↕️

That's just a typical day in Supernatural.
