Free Sci-fi short films
There are so many lovely clips online, done as experiments, animation projects and labors of love; I wonder how many we miss. Post them to this thread so we can share them, for entertainment, inspiration for games, or shameless theft of plot ideas. Some of these are very popular or have been online for a while, but are still worth the re-posting: The Gift A robot steals a mysterious box. The Gate Untested drugs are bad! Exurgent-level bad! It gets a little preachy at the end, but the creepiness is worth it. Archetype A combat synth starts recovering his edited memories. ABE A robot tries to resolve his programming with the mutability of humans.

Here is some more artsy stuff: Yes, I know - Exsurgent nanoinfection or Skinthetics' latest, coolest morph? Is there a difference? Syn Emergence - A symphony for nanoswarms. Calculate - Ah, to be a young Seed AGI again! a Forest within a Forest - All things are animated and must enforce a metaphorphosis. (I will *so* use this sect in EP!) Deus ex homine - that initial camera dolly and music sends shivers up my spine. Golem - this is what happens when you ask a Promethean to explain what is going on.

Reposted here, as my compulsion to sort things demanded it:

Fortress A beautiful CGI short with the old premise of humanity's machines fighting on long after our demise. Large swathes of EP's Earth may be wracked by similar scenes of perpetual, automated destruction. (Turn on captions for English translation)
Some more I have found: RUIN - A attack drone chases a survivor though the beautifully overgrown ruins of a city. Bad Motherfucker - This is technically a music video, but is also an entirely first-person action movie. Only slightly Sci-fi, but an excellent idea of what an XP from a Firewall agent might look like.

Impermanence Trajectory: the
Impermanence Trajectory: the limbic nest and Cathexis - More from AUJIK. Mysterious technology/life, maybe alien, maybe TITAN, maybe just everyday blobjects. Now with added pancomputationalism, Buddhist transhumanism, esoteric neuroscience, and singularity seeking. Also from the same source: Polygon Graffiti: an Uguisu Morph - AR grafitti. Of course. 9 States of Ambivalence - technoorganic emotional insectbots. Circular confabulation - portraits of Bilderberg participants in the form of blobjects. Cassini mission - I posted it sometime before, but worth seeing again. Raw footage from the Saturn system, with all the glitches and noise.

The Silent City, or a low quality version here Something Real, an Iain M. Banks Culture series inspired fan film (still not coping with his passing btw).

Sanctuary - Just as the Fall begins to pick up speed. Fluxion - Imagine if you could do something like this as an intro/trailer of the character team. Itlas commercial - The life of a poor infugee. Song of the machine - Near-future enhanced/replaced perception. I have always wanted to walk through the park looking at it in near infrared and ultraviolet.

A Sci-Fi Short Film HD: "Beyond" by - Raphael Rogers
Check out this great sci-fi short film called "Beyond" about Arya, the last remaining member of her family, a lineage with a unique genetic code that grants the ability to survive the folding of temporal and spatial boundaries... In short, she can teleport. Tasked with exploring new planets, she is in search of something that will explain who exactly she is and where she comes from. Has a great representation of a Muse and Entoptic Vision Implants. Perhaps even an Exsurgent Epsilon Psi Async mutation that allows teleportation as well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJ6KbPtTav0

Project Shell
SYNOPSIS Year 2086. Kate Sorin never imagined how volunteering herself as "base citizen" for Project Shell would determine her fate. The Western Confederation claimed that the creation of the cyber-clones would be the bridge to a free and equal society, without thinking that their human nature would fight against the role they were created for: to be slaves. Soon began the riots. The clones started a rebellion, trying to escape using any means. To control outbreaks of violence and retrieve escaped units the Confederation created a specialized police unit, the CHD (Clone Hunter Division). The individual 0258 escaped impersonating Kate, but everything went wrong and she saw herself forced to kidnap Kate´s daughter to survive, who died in the crossfire. Since that moment, Kate joined the CHD with a single goal, to find 0258 and avenge the death of his daughter. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWHQm1KvLhw
