Update 1:
Thanks for all the positive feedback everyone! This has been a labor of love on a budget of $0 with personal expense on my part and no funding. It makes it all worth while when we see other poeple responding to it. Thank you! - Aaron Sims


Update 2:
I want to thank all of you for the support and positive feedback I've received about my short film "Archetype".

This project was a labor of love, and so many talented, hard-working people helped in making it come to life. "Archetype" would not have been possible without all the talented individuals who contributed their time and skill, and I thank them - each and every one.

Please tell everyone you know to watch the short; the more people and positive responses we receive (and even likes on the YouTube page that we get) make a difference. With your help, we can hopefully get the feature version made - so Tweet, Facebook...get the word out!

Thanks again, and check out some of the online articles that have already gone live:

Update 3:

I want to thank everyone again for all the amazing support. It means so much to me to see so many of you that truly enjoyed Archetype.
Your continuing positive response will truly help in realizing a feature version of Archetype!!!

Myung? Any relation to Myung from "Macross Plus", whose higher brain function assisted an AI being sentient, an AI which eventually went nuts?

I've seen this movie. It was called "Robocop". Actually, Robocop was set in Detroit and it wasn't a lame rehash of 20 other sci fi flicks, so I guess I haven't seen this movie. I think any time a seven minute short film (with three minutes of establishing shots and credits) has enough "making of" footage out there to fill up a feature length film, it's a safe bet that the producers don't care much about narrative.

@Moe1andonly Looks like a full team to me.

[Moe1andonly]

Superb job, and even more dazzling when you consider that one man made this.... Bravo...
