A $300 sci-fi short from some Uruguayan filmmaker is impressive but blatant plaguarism.

Why are you charging it with plagiarism? The music?

Yeah I’m curious as well. Is there something there that we should be seeing?

Also, that car alarm sound is one of those “here’s a CD with thousands of sounds that anyone can use” situations, if you’re going to refer to the fact that it’s the car alarm sound that L4D uses, which is also the car alarm sound that a hundred other movies and games have used.

I do like how they said it cost them $300 bucks. Oh yeah by the way we already had the $5,000.00 worth of equipment and other shit it took to make.

I’d love to see where the “$300.00” went though.

I suspect he means the music. It’s from John Murphy’s excellent soundtrack for 28 Weeks Later. I don’t see how you can hear that music and not think of the opening sequence in the farmhouse.

No, he pretty blatantly steals from Kerry Conran’s Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and Independence Day.

Seems more like inspiration than plagarism.

Seriously? Sky Captain and ID4 are both incredibly derivative of (or homages to, if you prefer), the whole 40’s/50’s pulp sci-fi aesthetic. There’s a million comic book covers featuring alien saucer invasions and giant robots made by evil madmen and whatnot that look just like that.

No, there’s specific shots taken directly as well as the behavior of the robots (design is slightly different) and invaders and overall concepts. The short is no different than Lies: The Movie, er, After Hours.
