I think I prefer Rakka but only just. It's mega grim with its fleshy Terminator-vibe but I just felt Sigourney Weaver more than I did the video game protagonist Firebase has. Definitely dig both though. |

@mods wonder if we can change the thead title to Niell Blomkamp Oats Studios since we are discussing all of the output here rather than just Rakka

Registered 6 years agoApparently there's one more of the longer films left to come and a handful more of the short sketches like the cooking show infomercial thing.
I second a thread title change. Can I do it as op or do mods need to? -

Registered 18 years agoZygote was pretty great. Would enjoy a full film of that.
Oh shit, realised I haven't seen Firebase yet. Neat. -
Zygote was cool... but... that was Dead Space. Pretty much entirely. -

Registered 6 years agoAren't both tributes to The Thing? -
But it is, literally, Dead Space.
What little the info the short provides...
- asteroid mining
- discovery of something alien in the rock...
- that leads to an impulse to kill/mutilate to create a new lifeform from the gore
Dead Space is all of that.
Dont get me wrong, I think the short is great. Its incredibly well made. But I cant unsee the similarity. -

Registered 17 years agoJust on the subject of the asteroids, Blomkamp gave some context to that in an interview apparently. It's set on earth.
"Thomas came up with the idea that Earth is inundated with asteroids 20 years from now: massive amounts of asteroids fall all over the planet, and there’s a concentration of them in Northern Canada and Russia. They bring with them some really unique semiconductors and materials that we aren't familiar with on Earth. So these mining corporations become these larger, 21st century versions of Google, where all the venture capital goes into extracting these incredibly precious metals. "

Registered 6 years agoThe latest short is up. Looks like the intro/trailer to a game I could get hyped for.

They've been quiet for a bit so I'm hoping Adam is the first start up of them cranking into gear for a second volume of longer films.
Its real cool as a proof of concept playground so more would definitely be welcome.
