R’ha – A Short Sci-Fi Film That Could Make Hollywood Jealous [Video]

R’ha – A Short Sci-Fi Film That Could Make Hollywood Jealous [Video]

What if, instead of man versus robots it was an alien life form that was attacked by the robotic life that they had created?

This is the premise behind an awesome short science fiction film called R’ha that was directed and animated by 22-year-old Kaleb Lechowski and I gotta tell you Kaleb could teach Hollywood a thing or two.

R’ha is definitely one of those short films that should have the big budget boys drooling and bidding like crazy to get their hands on this film and the talented Kaleb.

UPDATE: As we hoped for it seems that R’ha has been picked up by Hollywood.

    wow!!!! Amazing…so much talent and so much vision.

    Thank you for the brief entertainment, of course it’s a short movie but very fulfilling. I look forward in your future films. I am you number 1 fan.

  • Leighroy

    Brilliant, I absolutely loved it and I want to know what happens.

  • Jonan

    Dude if you’re doing this at 22… You are going to be one rich son of a gun…!

  • John Pope

    This is the same concept as Terminator. The machines gain intelligence and up rise against their creators. He switched humans with aliens. But I must say taking it to this level of outer space and them being defenders of other planets with the perception that other aliens on different planets will pop out the wood works. Its a great concept, would like to see more story line. Development to short series, or film will definitely support

      battlestar

    I loved this and would jump for joy to watch the rest in a theater. I have been saying for a while now that I wish they would make a movie that didn’t involve humans or Earth in some way. We always find our way into whatever situation as a way for relate ability and excuse to “organically” explain the plot in basic baby talk. So although the robots overtaking in itself isn’t new I would still call this completely original.

    I have put off watching this video. I don’t know why. You id a great job with the animation and I like the plot. Hopefully you will be able to do the full length version

  • Quc

    Amazing

  • Heather Robinson

    Awesome job on the alien! I wish we had evolved with 4 arms- so jealous!!!

    If Earth was contacted, we would kidnap some alien robots and embed them with well hidden spy gear, release them back inconspicuously to their robot leaders… We could watch the movie from the robots viewpoint. Of course the organic aliens win :K

    Ho-Hum, just another basement boy, living off his parents, with no job, tons of time on his hands, making a “short” thinking he’ll get “noticed” just like the ten thousand others that think they’ll get noticed.

  • justsayin

    The first part was wonderful… then he started moving. He needs to work on fully using muscles on a construct. Otherwise it was an enjoyable ride, if not noticeably amateur. It takes a lot to do movement, sometimes a whole team.

  • Chris Palavicin]

    Sort of reminds me of Mass Effect. Awesome work though really. What do you guys expect?? I doubt he had 5 million, a team and the best equipment available to make this.

  • tim

    that guy didnt create the idea of alien vs their creations. its been in mass effect for years and other such things

  • Chirs

    Fantastic work! Storywise it’s too similar to Battlestar Galactica. Work on the script and you may be on to something! Keep up the good work!

  • adbag85

    That was thoroughly enjoyable.

  • J.J.

    Stumble Upon led me here too, and OMG!!! This is fabulous, why can’t the networks come up with stuff like this?!?

  • Nick

    This was absolutely amazing. I honestly believe that if he were to continue on this, it would be a huge success.

  • http://www.facebook.com/tynell.dake Tynell Dake

    Anyone see battlestar galactica, apparently not the guy who made this. Cool but the robots gaining sentience and revolting storyline has been done. Some of the dialog in this short film was even said in battlestar galactica.

  • IamGod

    This would be a great full length movie!

  • pln8

    Oh man I am hooked.. Lets do this. Kaleb lets get you some money and make this movie.. If I’m JJ Abrahms I’m crapping my pants right now..

  • anarchosurfer

    A really interesting concept. Great designs. It could make the basis of a fantastical movie. it would be interesting if you could do the movie without any actual humans.
    people have slagged off the dialogue, I thought it was fine, it needed to convey a lot in a short period. the robots came across as, well robots. The robot had a distinct character of it’s own and was far more expressive than the infamous Daleks.
    It was slightly confusing having the same actor do both voices but it also gave them a kinship. A robot created by Aliens would talk in a similar way to the aliens, computer voices sound more like us all the time.
    I’m intrigued and I’d like to see more of this Universe. The snake headed Alien could have links with the Ancient Egyptians, Maybe they were an Alien race that visited us. They could end up here in the present as refugee’s but with the Robot’s tracking them here. We’d have to join them to fight the Aliens.
    Another scenario could be based around them visiting us in Egypt. An Egyptian travels to their planet and gets embroiled in the war with the machines, The sequel could be set in the present when we have accidently contacted the machines through transmitting into space. maybe someone finds an artefact in a Pyramid and uses it to contact the Aliens who, with the 4,000 year old Egyptian help us defend earth.
    The third film could be the human Alien fight back against the Robots. the initial concept is so interesting and leaves so much unsaid that they could take this anywhere. From the look of the Alien I assume the Egyptian thing is already in their minds.
    Even if this never becomes a film Kaleb should have no trouble getting an animation job.
    Thanks Kaleb.
    Good luck.

  • Michael

    Wow, a little more focus on dialog and some more backstory and this could be one of those could-be-a-movie series popping up on TV nowadays

  • Skitch

    I am reminded of the movie Immortal in a way.
    Seriously… wheres a sequel?

  • Jo

    Absolutely brilliant! Would be really interested to watch a series or a movie based on the same storyline…very intriguing.

  • Lurifax

    Holy fuck i want this

  • iandog402@hotmail.com

    i dont normally like stuff like this, but i was transfixed

  • http://www.adventurestrong.com/ Tim

    This could be an incredible full-length film!

  • Brett Fritz

    I wish this was a full movie, it seems way too damn bad ass to just be a random short movie floating around the internet.

  • arturo ayon

    That was an impressive animation from a modeler! If you don’t already work for industrial light & magic you need to apply stat! haha in all honesty this film was immaculate, and all your hard labor definitely reached fruition and surpassed my expectations while clicking the play button.

  • shocked

    That was probably one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen

  • http://www.facebook.com/david.best.948 David Best

    Take equal parts Terminator and Battlestar Galatica and yu pretty much end up with this. Very well made though. Well done !!

  • Elvis

    Amazing…. hope there is a full movie on it

  • http://www.facebook.com/Dante626 Jordan Ray Johnston

    Aside from the “plot twist” at the end, this was actually… pretty terrible. Worse than campy dialogue and uninteresting setting.

    • xantheus13

      You are in the minority then. This was a very well made and written piece. Not terrible by a long-shot…

  • Pablo

    Amazing

  • Billieb4748

    Fabulous, I hope it becomes a reality on the big screen….well done!

  • Zalittle

    You have to admit the CGI and creativity from one individual was time consuming and professional in the quality. I must say that the idea and representation was awesome in its creative construction. To be critical of it is assuming that major production companies were involved rather than seeing that is was excellently done by an individual with great future promise. Way to go on such an excellent construction and idea. Wow!

  • Isaac McHale

    Outstanding CGI! The characters remind me of Anubis from Stargate and Sentinels from The Matrix; both are phenomenal sci-fi inspirations to pull from. However, I think the protagonist merely slipping out of his bonds is a bit weak (how about coaxing and coercing a logical machine to just set you free?) The hero is essentially an inhuman grunt with a lucky break. The animation is awesome though! I say find some writers who can tie it in with human beings and expand the story from there.

  • brucewill

    good

  • Shorty12345

    Not a terrible idea. The alien may as well have been human though, the technology and architecture is human-like, even the body structure is human; and both robot and alien seem to speak English.

    Otherwise, fantastic! Great animation, effects, etc.
