Awesome work guys! Animation, lighting, texturing all spot on! 10/10 would watch again.

Because I don't think anyone's done this yet, here's a list of my best guesses at what the assorted aircraft are: Hero aircraft: Modified OV-1 Mohawk Twin hulled bad guy fighter: Twin-hulled P-47 Thunderbolt with features from miscellaneous aircraft incorporated into the tail. Swept wing bad guy fighter: Roughly based on XP-55 Ascender, but with mixed features from assorted aircraft. Large airliner: Loosely based on A380, but much smalller, probably proportionally close to a Boeing 767. Loved the film!

The throaty sounds of the engines, the cracks and pings of the gunfire, and that insanely powerful yet eloquent music, all thrown together into a beautiful story with stunning animation. I can't give this enough praise. I know that every time I watch this it is going to make me tear up without really knowing why, but every couple of weeks i have to look it up again and re-live it all. Excellent work.

This 10 minute animation with literally 0 words made me feel more things and captured my imagination more than most high budget animated movies.

Mad Max of the Skies

Damn!its been a a long time since i ve watched any animated film made at such level of beauty and perfection..from animation to the plot ,everything was very original...by making such work of beauty you surely shown repect to your audience..it deserve to be a full length movie..children need to see such film not something idiot yelling banana...every minute spend on it is worth it.. in short it is simply a(MASTERPIECE)..

This music at the moment the plane is falling and the part where the pilot understand that the only way now is the ultimate sacrifice... nothing can beat this...

The end is intense because the girl found the rain maker and the way you guys zoomed out from the light house was incredible

I watched this animation in an Animation Festival which is available in my city right now, and I loved it! Amazing animation, sound effects, lights, the topic and of course the music. Thanks to Chris Reyman who was responsable for this amazing and unbelivable soundtrack.

This is fantastic! The quality of everything is top-notch, and the concept is straight dope! I love the idea of pirate planes racing to scoop up water from the few remaining clouds. Brilliant work... bravo guys!

This is an absolutely superb animation! Fantastic work, you guys!

That was incredible. I can't wait to see what you make next!

Astonishly accurate portrayal of California, 2020. Well done.

I hope this someday becomes a feature length film.

This feels like a opening for a movie. I like to see more of this story.

This is Brilliant, both in storytelling and animation. I want more!

Simply amazing. Would love to have a full movie .

Mad Max with planes

I'd really pay money to see this short film in a cinema.

That was good. At the end I wanted to cry, water in a wasteland of salt and dryness is worth fighting for.

Are you kidding me I've watched this like 3 times and cried like a total ass. Literally EVERYTHING about it is absolutely breathtaking! The animation, effects, story, characters, music, everything! It makes actual Hollywood movies look bad!

I can barely believe that this isn't real, it's amazingly made

Right until the end I was still hoping that the two other smaller planes would come back and help out, that would've made it even more awesome than it was, but even the current animation was still incredible, keep up the good work

The message is clear, although the title says otherwise... but what's important is the audiences understand what they have just watch and keep it in their lives as part of their value, all the good things they could share in their surroundings. I love this movie clip and my deep gratitude goes to whoever made this.

awesome. was really rwn in with the dog fight / camera work and all the surfacing...

to the makers of this video, the subtlety of sound use in this story is absolutely amazing. I have not seen this level of art come from computer animationi a long time

The attention to detail is so amazing! and I like how the movement of the clouds is actually simulated

Michael, simply masterful! Every bit the most engrossing animation I've seen this year!

Wish I could see the whole film about this story. This is absolutely amazing! Please make a whole movie about this!

This has to be one of the best animations I have ever seen. Incredible work!

I love this premise. This should be a short story or even a novel ... concerning that ending.

This was beautiful, the character's skill with flight but her reluctance to attack unless needed. Amazing! :D

The music just took it to another level. Shout out to Chris Reyman. Great work

10/10 this made thirsty. I also cried for like second at the end. Fantastic work all around!

We really need more aviation media such as TV shows and movies. There simply just isn't enough. It's such a small market.

Big plane forgot his landing gears out!

So stoked for a new animation!

This short is... Truly Wonderful!!! The story is mixing all the emotions,and the animations are AMAZING!!

This is... This is so inspiring. Wow. It was marvelous. Who needs voices when a story is told in such an amazing way, AKA through outstanding visual art? Darn. Loved it!

This is incredible..strange there are not more views?? Watch it people - please they did an awesome job!

I am a pilot and just loved the mixture of different types of aircraft to make up these in this wonderful short film. Excellent..5 stars..:-)

This should either be made into a video game or a full-fledged movie, please make it happen! I'm sure MANY others would be on board!!

Impressive work ! I loved Pigeon Impossible, and this new short is great ! The story is more serious and emotionnal, this is a good change between two productions. I am going to watch the behind the scenes, I'm shure there is lots of great advices for animation creators like myself. :)

Loved every bit of this. It locked me almost immediately due to the setting, colour pallet, and music coming together so nicely. Story that was being told was wonderful! Keep up the good work.

For some reason, today I was modeling a wheel and tough: "what might Lucas been doing since Pigeon Impossible!?" WOW! I loved it! A masters job! :)

I want this to be a full movie. It's such an amazing concept and even this ten minutes made me feel something.

wow at last I can watch your story about the ocean maker! I saw the trailer over a year ago and here we go, congratulations, people like you should make movies at all times, you are an original artist!

This was just awesome - like Mad Max and Crimson Skies had a baby who grew up on Dryworld. (And the complaints about "where do the clouds come from?" are pretty groundless; all the water would either be locked up deep underground or in the atmosphere. The rest is just Rule of Drama). If you haven't already submitted this short to the Academy for an Oscar, DO IT NOW. I'd be shocked if it failed to get a nom.

This is a really good short. hats off to the team, great work.

I'm so glad I was finally able to watch it!

Best animation I've seen in a LONG time!

Wow! No words! Literally! Great short!

Its just the complete opposite of Water World. And I love it.

How doesn't this have more views, this is amazing!!

Breathtaking!

honestly...this is one of the best animations I've ever seen! so realistic(for an animation) amazing quality through out. LOVE IT!!!

Wow this is simply amazing and should have WAY more views than it does. Very well done.

This would be awesome as a full movie, or maybe even a video game!

This was worth the wait, bravo!

I hope that you guys realize what you have. This story is huge. I just watched it twice. This story has so much potentials for a prequel such as how did they get there, what are Katrina's origins? how she become who she his? Who inspired her? For a sequel, after the rain, then what? Who is the woman in the light house? What happens to Katrina's design? Who are the sky pirates? Maybe they are not such bad people, they're just desperate for water and that's make them dangerous... The music, the story, the action, this is top class. Way better and most Disney and Dreamworks projects.

Absolutely beautiful, incredible animation and texturing and a very powerful story is told without the the need for dialogue. Very, very well done.

Well animated (I love the rain texture at the end), great music (it set the tone and maintained the pacing of the film), and a well-written story (you set everything up and followed it through really nicely). Also, it has a cool, simple but original premise. Great work!

OMG this small movie is so epic man i even started crying in the end

This is fantastic! I loved how the story flowed in each shot. Well done to you and your team!

One of the better videos I have seen

I thought this film was really well done, the animation, music, sound, all spot on!

Hands down best animation Ive ever i watched it frame by frame the detail is epic I mean no one s going to notice half the work you guys put in but that is the same work ethic that made apple great so bravo and welcome the new Pixar

Wow! I want more..... Full feature??? I would take the whole family to see a full length at the cinema, for sure..

Great work guys, lovely!

Watched this in school today

The OceanMaker is what makes animation a true art form. Poetry without words, beauty beyond aesthetic. This short film is deserving of many awards and I hope that a lot more of the world finds out about it. Rooster Teeth were wise to showcase this and I am so glad that I discovered it today upon a rare visit of their website. I wish Monty could have seen it!

MORE NEED SEQUEL

I watched this and Pigeon Impossible both for the first time today. Amazing work, and truly inspirational.

This is absolutely amazing! I had chills the entire ten minutes. WOW!

Excellent work, great story. Can't wait for part 2.

Good Job! Thanks for all the hard work and sharing.

this is a fantastic work, this shows ppls who needs to stop wasting water or causing water polutions

This was fantastic! I really enjoyed this.

Shame this doesn't have more views. This is a pretty cool animation. BTW, loved your work in Lazer Team!

Just amazing! You guys did a very good job! 10/10

Great work you guys, will watch it again and again!!!

Amazing Dude.This was awesomely animated! It had a great story even if the protagonist died at the end it was for a good cause. Keep up the good work!

This is soooooo good.

Это, наверное, лучшее, что я смотрел за последние 30 лет.

Please let there be more of this universe. Really beautiful and exiting.

Fantastic story and incredible animation!!! Please continue with the storyline!!!

Amazing work!

Awesome short! Loved the idea!

I would definitely invest in this if I had the money to do so! This is seriously amazing!

Amazing Work! details of machine and cloud are cool as hell. Be a fan of you guys since I've watch the crazy pigeon

Awesome!! Can't wait the next short film👍

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you so much!

Fantastic. I would love to see a 90-min film about this!

This was amazing!

Thanks for putting this up. Saves me the trouble of looking it up on Roosterteeth.

A M A Z I N G ! *please* make more aviation films like this!

Love it. Great animation and cinematography.

You know I'm a big fan!

Absolutely love this film and everything in it. Really big on Wasteland style films and would love to see this in live action or as a feature animated project down the road.

Beautiful work!
