Brilliant... I love found footage scifi / horror and this is a great concept. I'd wish it was a scene from a feature film.

Robbi Luscombe Newman - 7 years ago

so love this..well done Keith..conjures up visions of a USA west coast being Trump'd or Yellowstone going up..apocalypse be dammed as long as there is surf..

Very cool video! What beach was this filmed at? I couldn't find it in the comments or description but it looks like La Jolla.

TrainedZombie - 11 years ago

I concur, freaking awesome!

Keith Turner - 11 years ago

It took me about a year to complete after having shot all the footage. I'm an Art Director in the ad industry, so I'm not really an effects pro. I already knew a little Maya 3D, but I had to learn Maya Fluids, Mocha, and After Effects while doing the film. A hobbyist can do it, but if you're just starting out, it will take some time and there will be frustration. There was for me.

Chris Rush Dudley - 11 years ago

wow, how much time do you have learning those programs? Is it something a hobbyist can learn or are you more a dedicated professional just messing around with some footage?

ScootersBasement - 11 years ago

Great work on this creation !!!!!!!

Keith Turner - 11 years ago

The airships and oil rigs were done in Maya; meteors, explosions, and burning smoke were done in Maya Fluids. Motion tracking was done in Mocha and it was all composited in After Effects. The fog was mostly a product of the marine layer on the overcast day I was shooting, but it was 'enhanced' in a few scenes.

Toxicana Spice - 11 years ago

Just WOW!

Barry North - 11 years ago

Give yourself a pat on the back, any moaners are probably a little jealous, one man, one machine and a little imagination produces footage that is simply SUPERIOR. Well Done

dead chris bounce - 11 years ago

Keith Turner - 12 years ago

@graphix72 ...Sometimes I'd make those fine-tuning adjustments frame by frame. Total pain in the ass but it worked out for the most part. Hope that answers your question.

Keith Turner - 12 years ago

@graphix72 ...After tracking I would copy and paste the tracking information into a null created in After Effects (turning off everything but rotation and translation), then I'd make that null the parent of whatever effect I wanted to match to the footage. Sometimes the track would still be a little off so I would create a master control null to parent to the regular null that I would either do additional tracking with in AE or just make fine-tuning adjustments by hand...

Keith Turner - 12 years ago

@graphix72 Someone asked me a similar question a while ago, this is what I told him- Sometimes I would track a cloud or a rock+palm tree. But most of the time there was a pretty solid horizon line created by the incoming waves that I could latch on to. Since most of the scenes are long shots I didn't have to do any 3d tracking, just a lot of trial and error 2d tracking of the wave's edge...

dumprun01 - 12 years ago

@SloveniaHardCore91 The author explained earlier in the comments that the flying ships are people escaping from what as you can see is an impending astroid strike. The structures out in the water are oil platforms. There is nothing alien about this video other than the technology used by the humans being possibly alien.

Francesco Galvani - 12 years ago

Shiru The Human - 12 years ago

@worzies hmmm yeah... now I understand your point of view, thanks for your explanation (Y)

Heywork - 12 years ago

@ShirubiaTheOtaku After initially reading the description I got my hopes up even more. My initial thoughts were "wow, how was he able to surf while using his desktop computer to film such incredible footage!?", but I then realized it wasn't real because the actual apocalypse was caused by Jesus shooting rainbow lasers out of his nipples while riding a flying, fire-breathing unicorn/silverback gorilla hybrid. It is a very good fake though, which is why I felt the need to expose the truth.

Shiru The Human - 12 years ago

@worzies "claiming to be something that it's not" excuse me, but can you tell me where exactly says this is real? in fact the description makes it clear that this have been done using an iMac. Anyway you could have said "oh, this is not what I expected :/" instead of "FAKE!" I think it's a pretty stupid comment because we can't understand it if it's out of context that's all

Heywork - 12 years ago

@ShirubiaTheOtaku When I clicked on the link to watch this video I was hoping to see some REAL footage of people surfing during the apocalypse that happened recently on earth. Clearly I was disappointed to find this obviously staged video claiming to be something that it's not.

@AbstractLucidity So I decided to figure out what software I needed and do it. That's why it took me a year to do, because I was learning the software as I was doing it. Professionally, I work as an Art Director in the Advertising industry, not film (but I seriously dig movies).

Keith Turner - 12 years ago

@AbstractLucidity Before starting this I had none. I wanted to learn more about digital filming, formats, and editing and since I surfed, the GoPro seemed like a natural place to start. I figured after filming and editing a few vids I could move up to something like a Canon 7d, 5d, or the Nikon equivalent. I got the idea for this after looking through all my footage and I've always been curious how effects artists match CG with filmed footage... •••••••(Continued below)

Keith Turner - 12 years ago

@verstek09 They're actually other humans trying to escape the apocalypse in a massive evacuation. The backstory I imagined for this had more of a "we brought this on ourselves" theme to it rather than an alien invasion. The surfers decided to stay behind (instead of running away from their problems) and do what they love on their last days and if they live through it, they'll inherit a new, very different Earth. I explained this more in-depth in another thread if you can find it.

@Guardian978 Well, the vid's only two minutes long. The meteors have crashed so far out that it would take longer than that to reach the shore. I did all the calculations on a cocktail napkin at a bar, so you know it's true.

Guardian978 - 12 years ago

Some nice effects ... it does seem to have a bit of a trouble with perspective, and yeah, the lack of sound effects doesn't make it seem any more 'real' ... plus look at the size of the things crashing into the ocean, those would be huge, unsurfable tsunamis, not decent waves.

Talking about the ships, I suggested a swarm to give that global aspect to the video, thinking about many evacuation sites, located everywere. There's no problem with that route of evacuation but I think that could be more routes. If you plan a new video, I'd be happy to help with ideas or doing stuff (i have some modeling skills too).

Keith Turner - 12 years ago

@Ceneviva But then, have you seen the surfing scene in Apocalypse Now lately? My waves are about the same size. They didn't have meteors but they did have exploding shells. Just sayin'.

Keith Turner - 12 years ago

@Ceneviva As for why the airships route took them directly over the surfers, that was just an aesthetic decision. And yes, my biggest regret about this is that the waves weren't huge. But I was severely limited in that I was just one guy with an iMac, no budget, and a day job to hold down. If I had the resources, believe me, I would have hit every surf spot from Mavericks to Blacks. ••••(Continued below)

Keith Turner - 12 years ago

@Ceneviva In the evacuation scenario I was thinking of, I imagined that all the airships would be gathered in an open field for the population to be crammed into. And they'd all take off from that place and on the same course because they'd want to take refuge together either in the upper atmosphere or a remote mountain top somewhere. In scene 4, where the airships first show up, you can see the distant spit of land that I imagined them taking off from. ••••(Continued below)

Combine fire from volcano and giant metheors and I think it would be nice. Well it's just my idea.

Rodrigo Lauriello - 12 years ago

May I make a suggestion? ships appear to be concentrated into a single spot, always making a single tragetory. I think it would be better if there were lots of ships, like a swarm, with some smoke coming from their engines (and they left the polution behind philosofy). It would be awesome if a giant metheor crashed into the water, making a massive wave you guys surf on. That explosion you put on the right, if it was a volcano it would justify alot of black smoke and more fire coming from the sky

who the hell would surf during the end of the world

Keith Turner - 12 years ago

@djn809 To perfectly execute that backstory would take a much longer film. The purpose of this was just to provide snapshots of the Apocalypse and the backstory I created was to use as a design guide. I'm not bothered if people read something different into it.

Keith Turner - 12 years ago

@djn809 it is a good option for humans who want to escape and survive at high altitudes for an indefinite amount of time and occasionally land in very remote areas with no landing strips. Also, notice the ships aren't shooting at each other. They and the oil rigs are getting pummeled by meteors coming from above. If this were an invading force I would have designed everything much differently. ••••••••••••••••(Continued below)

Keith Turner - 12 years ago

@djn809 The purpose of the backstory wasn't to guide anyone's interpretation in any specific direction. I thought it up to inform the design/direction decisions that I made so it would have a certain logic to it. The oil rigs were to be tick-like parasites with floatation tanks on the ends of their legs so they could travel to and rape any spot in the ocean like locusts descending on a cornfield. The airship is not a good design for outer space aliens but ••••••••••••••••(Continued below)

Dane Boe - 12 years ago

This is great!

GeezerGamez - 12 years ago

It is true... to an extent. I see it as an amplified metaphor of what we do everyday. This morning, as always, I woke up, watched BBC, ABC,CBS,CNN to catch up on the news. Murders, wars, pirates, Iran nuclear stand off, Saints fan shoot 2 Packers fans, child missing, people starving, etc. And then... somehow, I snap back to my little reality and find myself cussing because I ran low on coffee creamer and that is the worst thing to happen all day! While the world crashes down around us.......

djn809 - 12 years ago

Nice! Following your storyline, can I suggest having some airships rising up... maybe a meteor crashing thru a tube on an oil rig and igniting the tube and then the whole thing. I know you want it open to interpretation, but since you noted many people seeing it differently from your vision, some additional suggestive guidance seems in order. I also didn't see the airships as people leaving, so for me it wasn't a matter of interpretation, but that your vision wasn't projecting into it. V cool.

Keith Turner - 12 years ago

@SpareHand2010 The surfers decided to stay behind and if this is their last day alive, they're going to die doing what they love. If they live through it, they'll be the custodians of a new earth. I purposely left it in a grey area (no pun intended) so people could interpret it their own way. But the original storyline had more of a "we brought this on ourselves" idea rather than an invasion from an external enemy.

Keith Turner - 12 years ago

@SpareHand2010 I hear ya. I think the message is more doing what you love during your last days. The original storyline that was in my head is vastly different than the way people have interpreted it. The machines in the distance are oil rigs, their cylindrical legs allow them to walk/float anywhere in the ocean and have sucked the Earth dry like locusts. The airships aren't an invading force, but a massive evacuation by other humans trying in vain to escape the meteor hellstorm raining down.

Semageek - 12 years ago

Why don't make the music in background of "surfing with the alien" from Satriani ?

SpareHand2010 - 12 years ago

What a waste of talent. Don't get me wrong, the video is well produced, technically very good but is the message "let the world collapse around me, all I wanna do is surf"? Surfing, for me, is about having a soul, not being without one. Indifference is not Punk. This video is a visual contradiction in terms. Do something... , more!

Very very impressive. My constructive criticism to you, sir, is the colour correction on the effects / fire needed a little more work. The effects looked like that of a clear day, not of a foggy day; on a foggy day the fire effects would have more of a blur as well as a glow about them. Still, amazing work! And is there a CG surfer? I'm pretty sure I saw one or two in there ;)

So this was done purely on After Effects? No plug-ins? Amazing.

Keith Turner - 12 years ago

@UnitedIGITV Yeah, the tracking was tricky. There were times I wasn't sure whether I'd be able to complete the project at all. In most of the scenes the incoming wave will give a nice hard horizon line that I can latch onto and do some 2d tracking. Then I'd paste that info onto a null created in AE, turn off everything but position and rotation, and parent that null to whatever I want to match to the camera's motion. Most of the time it was an imperfect track so I'd have to do some fine-tuning.

Keith Turner - 12 years ago

@KeirRitchie Thanks. I looked at Boujou for tracking because that guy from South America who did Panic Attack used it. But I couldn't afford it and Mocha comes packaged with AE, so the decision was made.
