  • Good fan fekt dude lol

  • His mouth does not move at 1:19 to 1:22 .... Do Voltron operators have to be expert ventriloquists too?

  • I did not know Constantino was in Voltron... Maybe he should have been focusing more on that than attacking Jericho... Hahahaha. I don't know how many people will get that reference. Cool vid though.

  • @saaaammm I thought he looked familiar.

  • Really liked the editing.

  • I just watched this for the tenth time, this needs to be made. Great job man. Ill keep watching this till it is.

  • The end music when they showed the ship it sounded like firefly ...

  • i would love to watch a voltron live film or live tv show that would rock.

  • @alexalbrecht00 If you have not yet used this short to pitch a feature-length film concept, I have just one question: What's wrong with you?! By the time the 3 minutes and 8 seconds of story was finished, I was hooked! Watching this made me wish I owned a multi-billion dollar film studio. I'd have offered you a deal right here, on the spot!

  • I'm gunna go get my die cast model n put it together to make VOLTRON!!!! Well we all begged for xmen n transformers. Now it's time for voltron to rise. And I'm talkin pre-princess as the blue lion. That's in the sequel

  • Thank God for Voltron movie! Hell YEAH! Now transformers can just die already! :)

  • Wow Hollywood need this guy to direct the live version of Voltron. this is what a great 80's anime need to relive itself in today's universe . Great job Alex

  • GO VOLTRON FORCE!!!

    This is absolutely amazing.

    Timothy Omundson as Lance!!!!  AWESOME!!!!

  • Hell yes more of that plzzz 

  • Oh my god !! Epic! I want more please!!!

  • just Epic

  • i`m calling out directors and producers please do also a live VOLTES V movie

  • 81 people saw the new Voltron, and have no idea what the old one was like.

  • The saddest thing is that this exactly what a Voltron movie won't be. The Hollywood bean counters who are convinced that we all have ADHD would never allow it.

  • This is an epic disappointment because this spectacular 4 minute clip will never be more than what it is today. Kudos, Alex. You're the fucking man! lol

  • Me Gusta.

  • Why does this not have more views?

  • This film is one of the only ones that show the hurt of a hero and the hope that there will be others to take there place in history.

  • Harmonic Emperor Crux

  • This Movie is Going to be Awsomeness!!!!!

  • That's some quality acting ^^

  • 1.21 do you see it? how it got passed the editor.

  • this exactly how a VOLTRON movie should be

    i hope this finds it's way to cinema and so would a GUNDAM movie

  • @nedalrabadi1 Gundam did have a live action movie.

  • @Amerac133 yeah i know that but that movie was horrible

    and i'm a gundam fan

  • @nedalrabadi1

    Space Battleship Yamato 2010 was good in spite of small budgets (1/6 Star Trek 2009).

  • Comment removed

  • I hope they will make the live action of Voltron as long as the movie makers don't fuck it up just like the movie makers did to some of the Transformers films, but lets hope that this movie is like the original only that its real.

  • wich camera was used?

  • great!!

  • One word. "AWESOME"!!!!!!!!

  • OMG!!! I want this movie more than anything. I didn't think I'd say this but it would be better than underworld 4!! An d I LOVE underworld movies!

  • go Lassie!

  • somebody give this director a budget - now

    

  • I would go see this in theaters, Its done very nicely, It's Sick how good it is

  • YES!!

  • FUCKME MAN!!IM CRYING LIKE A BABY MAN!! SO FUCKEN SAD!! WHY?? WHYY??

  • the baddest of ass, nicely done 

  • Its Lassiter from psych!!

  • Who else finds his beard rugged and sexy? :P

  • yes! all my yeses

  • Wow. Just...wow. Excellent!

  • IT'S LASSETER!!! FUCK YEA!

  • aw god damn it! i forget about this shit for 18 goddamn years than all of sudden i see this demo on the psn, i play it, it brings back memories, i go to youtube to see if theres some episodes, AND AFTER 18 YEARS THEY HIT ME WITH A GUT SHOT LIKE THIS?! why do you play with my emotions youtube...

  • I'm sure it would get repetitive, and I'm sure the story is meant to say the other four were destroyed, but I would love to see the others as this was happening. Good call going with Lance.

  • Awesome job alex! Really enjoyed it man! Very inspiring.

  • LASSIE!

  • its good, im not getting in too a nerd rage debate over his financial yes trs and digg, much love alex, gangsign

  • I know one or two directors "living in Vancouver" good eye very creative and professional Ive seen some junk and this is not it. cheers

  • Um, more please!

  • its like my childhood dream!

  • I love you Alex. But this really isn't that great, it looks like you spent half an hour writing this.

  • @MoldytoasterMedia not very fair from limited resources compared to Hollywood most directors make less

    its pretty good

  • @MrNncon In an interview he said it cost $50K and several months to make.

    People make feature length films for less than $50k.

    Do you watch Alex's podcast "The Totally Rad Show"? they use to do short skits/parodies at the beginning of each episode, and i swear look better produced than this with a $0 budget.

    And again, it's not terrible, it's just that the amount of time and money could have been better used.

  • @MoldytoasterMedia yes about 20k but, hes also famous you cant judge the man based on his professional base of contact's charging fees. maybe they just charge more who wouldnt to someone with cash and fame... that means nothing if anything its about right. 40k? he did high end rendering alot of its rendering film and cgi maybe he sat on the finished project between production 3weeks and hes not a liar to make it sound better like most of us do lol

  • Timothy Best COP

  • KICK ASS!!!.. good job. I love voltron. I really do I think I have the biggest voltron toy line collection. Check out my YouTube video. ( voltron massive toy collection/dbz) can't wait for it to hit the big screen some day .. awesome job guys.

  • annnnnd cue shawn spencer coming in to save the day with his friend burton guster!

  • seriouslly this is the best short i've seen since street fighter legacy

  • WOW! WELL DONE 

  • Simply Amazing! Enough said.

  • That was very well done. Bravo

  • Great job alex. I like it a 'lah!

    Haven't followed Rev3 for a long time, then this pops up. I'm like ÔÔ 'whaaat!?'

  • Woww that was epic, Timothy Omundson is awesome, I'd love to see a movie come out of this, or a series or something...!

  • Jimmy Fallon

  • Now this is how to make a live action movie of a childhood cartoon favorite!! Love this short film now if only they could make a full movie exactly like this, they'd have a huge fan base and not do a hack up job like some producers have done to some of the other cartoons from my childhood.

  • @Thunderhawk74 - Agree with you and with so many of these positive posts. This would make an OUTSTANDING beginning to a movie in which Voltron is revived to undo what's been done in its absence.

  • That was... pretty friggen awsome!

  • I loved it!

  • This is really well produced, Alex! You should be a guest director on Revision 3's "Film Riot" to share your tips. :)

  • This was great. We really need a Voltron movie, and this is one help of a start.

  • This better be dope if all comes together.

  • This is why I cringe every time a big move to make something "mainstream" crops up, especially in reference to childhood favorites of cartoon/game origin.

    There is no way this would ever have happened off YouTube.

    It requires taking the medium seriously. It requires KNOWING the medium in the first place, let alone caring about it, let ALONE -respecting- it.

  • @HotaruZoku Not to mention freedom from the "leveraged market research position" of "investors" (who by "barring" access to most of humanity's material "wealth" call shots they have no place calling) who couldn't spell Voltron without being spotted half the letters making decisions for those who love it they couldn't justify in Nuremberg.

  • dooooooope. thx jimmy!

  • just let quentin tarantino remake (in live action!) dragonball (& DBZ), voltron, power rangers, and teenage mutant ninja turtles for those who actually grew up watching whichever shows and and you'd have the best, most bad *ss movies ever... my opinion at least. can i get a witness my brothers and sistas...

  • @uknow225la Why would you think he would make good movies out of those things? He has never done anything along those lines.

  • @NerdSwagProductions I'm not following your question... What point are you trying to make, or question are you trying to ask? Please spare no detail, i would love to elaborate on my comment.

  • yes, yes... i was intrigued to check this out by seeing the interview on fallon. i must say that the (very (not much)) short kicked (a lot of (very much) *ss! wonderful acting & directing. love the dramaticness (new word y'all!). would def. pay to see a full length feature of this/like this. a few jokes of course but not to where it makes the movie **itty like they **cked transformers up (with the trying too hard to place comedy within and story lines more poor than homeless).

  • They should do a Mighty Morphin Power Rangers vs Voltron movie to encompass both generational demos. I think that would gross major dollars. I would help produce it as a fan of Voltrons...LOL! But really I would.

  • here cause of Jimmy fallon

  • Jimmy Fallon just told me about this. I just had to watch.

  • was good, just enough to get me interested, but can you really call yourself a director? Wasnt much to direct. Make a short 30min film them we'll see.

  • @princeshoko1 Alex has been working on a film for a while.

  • Well if they gone make a movie of Voltron I hope to be like this!

    AWESOME adaption to the franchise!

  • "Nicely done but to dark for me"

  • Great job Alex. That was amazing, it gave me chills.

  • You got Timothy Omundson aka Carlton Lassiter from Psych. Cool.

  • You so have to finish this!

  • Excellent! More please.

  • This would make a better series then Terra Nova

  • @SteampunkPagan AIDS is better than sitting through Terra Nova

  • Best thing I've seen in a looong time!

  • voltron deserves a series like mortal kombat legacy, i want it,big ups to the director.

  • It was hard to imagine Voltron defeated and know it looks like hit Voltron Very hard!

  • God, that gives me goosebumps.... Manly tears are being shed.

  • @GunmetalSnail I felt the same.

  • This is great is there gonna be anymore?

  • yep I like it!

  • Top banana!! Looks like you and Dan are having a "Faceoff" style battle for the directors chair! The music reminds me a little of Firefly at the end.....good choice!

  • I know the composer of this film :))))

  • HOLY MOLY!!!!!! This is the best day of my life!!! I don't think this is the end! It's making us believe Voltron failed! Just when he is about to die someone or something will come to his rescue!

  • I want more!!!!!!!! I love it!

  • Cool at least it resembles what I remember of Voltron. Keeping it oldschool with a new look if thats possible lol I think I still have episodes on video tape lol

  • Great job guys. Great job.

  • Damn ....maybe this could be the push we need... maybe dreams do come true

  • WOW! Very cool! I want this to be the trailer of a full length movie! Great job Alex :)

  • Very well made. I would love to see more, maybe some perspectives from any others, if they survived. I think this proves a Voltron movie could work.

  • bad ass o__o

    Timmy is da man!

  • I like it, but then I don't because Voltron is dead!

  • I liked it. Seemed like that last scene of a big epic movie. Wish it was longer than 3:51.

  • I want to see them use this to make a movie pulling the original multi-vehicle Voltron out of mothballs to save the day.

  • Is there a subtitled version for hearing impaired ones?

  • I love you Alex! Lassy ftw!

  • I hope this is picked up by a major studio. Truly worthy of production. Was that your intention? If so, sign me up for a petition if you've got one.

  • This is bitchin!  They need to continue this!

  • This was amazing.

  • Ok, before I watched this I thought it was going to ooze with cheese, now that I have seen this I completely agree that I was wrong! You have to continue with this project, you have me hooked!

  • Lolz at Lassi in Voltron.

  • Please continue this and make it a series. I'm a 40 year old man that grew up with Voltron and would love for my kids to see what a real action show is like. Great job to everyone involved in making this spectacular piece, even though it was way overpriced!!!

  • NooOOO! You can't end it like that! Where is part II?? I was never into Voltron but if I don't get to see the rest of this story I'm gonna be pissed.

  • I seem to remember stuff happening in episodes of Voltron.

  • I think Bleached blonde head Alex said $50K for this??? Huh? The peroxide finally ate away at his brain. Good luck from the divorce from the dark tipper.

  • @editphil $50K for this??? wtf ! why? how?

  • @MoldytoasterMedia Yeah I think I remember him saying 50K on a Diggnation maybe 6 to 8 months ago. Also WHY did this take more than 6 months to post and get out?? 3:14 - wowe

  • most american remakes of japanese movies / shows / anime are poor works.

  • Damn I will watch this!!! i miss my childhood!!! >.<

  • My favorite cartoon as a kid made into a short live action film with Tim Omundson? And it was dramatic, tense, and had great music? There's no way this just happened. Now, if only I could win the lottery and build life-size replicas of the lions.

  • Good job Alex! I would definitely go to see this.

  • Starring Tim Omundson and Siri.

  • That's it?

  • I just nerd-gasumed all over my keyboard.

  • Would certainly like to see a high budget film version. Not a fan of the overdubbing on shots. That could be better spent actually emoting, but nice.

  • Live action Voltron! Let's get this made!

  • Oh wow that was intense and my goosebumps confirm it!

  • This is so amazing wow!!!

  • Damn it now Voltron is dead why is it always the hero dying? All villains just hang the fuck on damn you King Zarkon.

  • That was a weird episode of PSYCH.

  • These three minutes where better then all three Transformers movies combined. Make it happen !!!!!!!!!!

  • I've never seen anything Voltron before, but this was very captivating. I just a sense that this guy has been fighting since he was the cliche young optimistic young hero, and after a life time of fighting he's reached his end, but he's somewhat at peace because he believes Voltron will rise again. Very well done!

  • Someone PLEASE give Alex Albrecht a suitable budget. This fan film clearly shows an amazing concept and excellent directing. So again I say: PLEASE give Alex Albrecht a suitable budget. Thanks.

  • Wow, go lassie. That was awesome. I would support a voltron movie coming from this.

  • Its lassie!

  • This looks like what Syfy would do if they made a Voltron movie or live action tv show.

  • and i form...DA HEAD! LOL just wanted to say that.

  • maybe we'll get a nice funded web series at the least

  • Ee pee eye see!! This was really good, really good!!

  • LASSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  • Make it happen, Hollywood! (With this director)

  • GRIPPING....SIMPLY ....GRIPPING

  • Awesome

  • I said to my roommate "Suddenly the idea of a live-action voltron doesn't seem so bad". This was really great

  • I can't watch this without thinking that James Roday and Dule Hill are gonna pop out the corner acting all crazy and stuff. Thumbs up if you know what I mean.

  • @Homeschoolmusiclover SPENCER!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Amazingly well done. I was surprised to see a recognizeable actor like Tim Omundson; great performance.

    The Red Lion shot at the end was IN.CREDIBLE. I hope to see a Voltron movie soon, based on this concept! Thumbs up!

  • At 1:18 the actor is talking, but in the scene his mouth is not moving. Clearly the wrong footage was cut to that scene. Alex didn't you review the edit?

  • @Resistoon It was intentional. The same thing occurs in 2 more scenes. The intention was to show the emotional state of the character, he was 'thinking' and 'talking' at the same time. The scene wasn't wrong, it was perfect in the situation.

  • :lesquee:

    holy fuck this is awesome.

  • if this goes full length i am going to jizz

  • Nice job Alex. Cool idea.

  • Not bad. I'll give it a watch, if it happens.

  • They just announced the live action movie at the San Diego Comic Con. Awesome

  • Whatever needs to be done to get this made, I hope it's being done. Start a petition, push this at Comic Con, DO IT!! This would be epic.

  • Amazing. Seriously amazing. Gripping 4 minutes of video.
