Transformation

Laudatio of the 23th Rome Independent Film Festival Winner 2024: 'This short film is a true masterpiece of innovation and creativity. It's visionary nature immediately captures the viewer's attention, transporting them into a unique and fascinating world. The design is extremely captivating and refined, with every visual detail taken care of with obsessive precision. What makes this short film truly special is its ability to break away from traditional patterns. It doesn't just follow the conventions of the genre, but dares to explore new avenues, offering a fresh and original experience. The narrative is equally bold, with a plot that challenges expectations and invites reflection. In summary, this short film is a product unlike any other, a work that not only entertains, but inspires and stimulates the mind. Kudos to the entire team for creating something so extraordinary and out of the ordinary'.

The earth is devastated, the food chain destroyed - only the mysterious yellow nova keeps humanity alive. Meanwhile, an alien species is looking for a new home and finds it on planet Earth. It is entered into a connection with an open air.

I love this short, because not only it's completely made with AI tools. It's artistic. It's a vision. It's philosophy. Mind blowing pictures combined with an idea of our future. Director Marcel Barsotti is a well known music composer and his soundscapes are fascinating. Watch and listen. This is 12min. Modern storytelling made in Germany.

A transformation of film making too.

In the last time I saw several of artificial intelligence movies, most of that in a good quality. But here I like very much the story about evolution and aliens. Particularly i love the look and the strong colours of this science fiction. Maybe a good short to realize sometime in a feature movie. And it's amazing what happens in the world of artificial intelligence movies. Transformation for me is a masterpiece. At first I like the plot about the Drakzukls, who are searching for a new planet. And than they arrived with an amazing armada of space ships. Also the look of the Drakzuls, completely in red colours and masks of metal is very cool! And the Androids world in green and the future world in yellow colours are very stylish! The whole movie is like a very fast big trailer, that's give the story a fast and emotional impact. I hope that the director continues to make other movies. For his first work this movie is really amazing.

A great teamwork between pictures and music. The story drew me in and I found the movie to be really good Actually. An intense plot with surprises. Certainly AI and where and how to use it is worthy discussing, but I felt thoroughly entertained. AI is able to entertain if controlled by someone knowing what to do. I enjoyed the picture building, loved the flow that made watching easy. The audio was gifted, like it danced with the picture part. When the picture is bold, the music retreats, when the music gets bold, picture level is quiet. Looking forward to More from Marcel Barsotti. Both in movies and scores.
