Great example of a "bootstrap paradox", where the time machine is the paradox. Since he gave it to himself, it was never created. It just was. One of my favorite time travel movies, which contains a bootstrap paradox, is Somewhere In Time. The pocket watch is the paradox in that movie.

i'm so sorry to hear Mr. Morris Passing. But this video had me wanting more at the end. i always have loved time travel theories and movies based on those. This one could continue on and be a good story line....Great job guys!!

I am saddened to inform everyone who enjoyed The Machine that our long time friend Danny Morris, aka: the old time traveler, passed away this morning. He will be missed.

There was more left to his story, awesome. Sorry to hear that, he seemed like a kind man with lots of patience. Part of letting go is accepting and accepting is far from being finished.

It's not a full movie -- it's like reading the first page of a good book then having it torn out of your grasp.

Exactly, it is yet another poor ending.You know I have been laid up with an injury and went through movies like crazy . SO many have no endings and leave you unsatisfied. The comic book movies consistently do not develop characters and also leave you in the lurch . They are already counting profits from the next sequel. This story had promise but just pulled the plug and gave up.. haha .. Too bad.

@Writer B.L. Alley What’s the title, please?

Great thought provoking introduction to first episode of a potential series. Please can there be more in the same genre. THANK YOU.

I, too, am sad to hear of the passing of Danny Morris. His family & friends are in my prayers. I have many questions about this great story & would love to see its continuation. As Zane Leonard & lonewolf9390 said, this really brings to mind the Doctor & the TARDIS. down to the key and the ornate stopwatch. " Its bigger (on the inside?) than you can imagine."

It ended just right......the last word 'hopefully'....dosen't that one word sum up our existence? You know what came next; you don't have to see it. Every time travel film you've ever seen are the possibilities. It's intriguing and well-made. RIP Danny Morris; nicely played.

Based on his description of the machine, it's a TARDIS!

+lonewolf9390 I'd like to think the Doctor passed after millions of years and now the Tardis travels from owner to owner to save the universe and what not.

Nice last line. I enjoyed the music and credit effects too!

This a great find .. I don’t know much about it’s creator but I know this was amazing so with all due respect I’m sorry for the loss of Danny Morris but I’d like to think he found that building and Is having amazing adventures! 🙏🏾

I liked this little video. Danny Morris is now on the ultimate time travelling journey now. Thanks Danny.

Great story! I am so sorry to here about Danny Morris. I wish you much success in your future endeavors!

I need to see a second part, it was very interesting and it left me hanging like a good book.

Hey, I'm going to upvote, *but* I'd like to see the rest of the adventure :D and so many expressed the same wish here... that means this part caught us all, good job, now go finish it or sell it to some big producer :D

I think that the best part was how his girlfriend found it hilarious to cause him minor annoyances. Best actor in the short.

Spoiler alert maybe, Did anyone else notice that the old guy broke every rule in the book.

Sorry to hear about Danny Morris.

This is better than the STILL unfinished "definitive" version. You could very well have stopped while you were ahead.

Excellent. loved the ending! No sequel please!

Has a lot of potential to be made into a bigger movie.

Kauwhaka - Working on it. if you havent seen the other short films that my buddies and I made... The File and The Interview... just fyi: they all are related. And more movies that take place in the same universe are coming, including a remake of The Machine.

One thing wrong. Time does not work like most films depict. If you could make a time machine, it would remain stationary in a W, X, Y, coordinate Z, with W, X, Y, Being the 3 dimensions, while Z being time itself. Since we know the earth revolves about it’s axis, while traveling about the sun, which is traveling about the solar system, which is traveling about the galaxy, which in turn is zipping through interstellar space, any particular spot on earth is never in the same spot for very long, & this is not even taking into consideration that the universe is expanding at an accelerated rate. So, if you was to use such a machine to time travel, even for a few seconds in either direction, chances are high you would end up in the cold barren reaches of space, since everything about you is whizzing by constantly, while your coordinates remain the same.

No. The center remains the same Just like flying in a jet with a ball. You can throw it forward and back. It travels with the plane. At same speed. If you travel in time. Space is also moving You don't stop moving. Also like a glass of water in a car. It remains level because it's same speed

Outstanding! Very clever and very well done.

Saddened by the loss of Danny Morris but would love to see more...

My condolences to all his friends-- good film

The `Door` wouldn`t happen to be a blue box with a flashing light on top by any chance? Time And Relative Dimensions In Space. Im also wondering why `The Old Guy` sounds like George R.R. Martin.

Great video. I want more. Sorry about the old man. Musuc was pretty good too.

Cool. Filmed in San Diego. Miss my home town.

You had me at quoting Kurt Vonnegut. :)

Hello sir Amazing screen play ####

Well that whole thing was just a big intro and ends abruptly without completion

How............ Predictable!

alot of credits for a one man shoot.

God Bless you Danny.

This was great! But where's the rest of it? Didn't even see the time machine! Sorry to hear about Danny Morris dying. Seemed like a good actor. Would love to see more on this...please!!!

Yep, nicely done. Hope there will be a follow-up.

Riviting - but TOO interesting and therefore TOO short. This NEEDED to go on and on...

excellent concept

I'll guess there will be no 2nd chapter to this story? Only Eric & Danni need be in the next episode. RIP Danny Morris.

So, what happened? Did the kid travel in time? To what period? Too many unanswered questions. I would travel one day in the future and find out what the powerball jackpot numbers are. Then go back and play them!

I wanna know what happens next.

Things I'm trying to figure out: 1. What does linear or non-linear refer to in this context? 2. Why would encountering yourself damage anything? If you encounter your past self, sure you could mess up their future, but isn't your own past isolated from their future?

Aaaaarrrrrrgh!!!!!!! It was a great film, but it ended way too soon. I was hoping to see the machine. Oh well, still a great film.

After watching this i felt like being invited to a birthday party but when i arrived there was no birthday cake, not even a party. For goodness what was this?

Welcome my sun, welcome to the machine ...................,

Wtf they never show him time travel?

When you're a old man you become smaller WTF

what a good, foreshadowy ending

Time And Relative Dimensions In Space...🌌

This one is pretty good.

Where is part two?

"premise was that a young man finds an old man lying dead in a time machine, still clutching the keys. He takes the keys and starts gallivanting around the universe. In the end, we discover that he was the old man all along." Paradoxical? their is no dead man, no time machine, no gallivanting, just a typically rude yank in a failed state living with a black girl who resents him, then an old bearded hippy who claims to be him and gives him a key while siting on a park bench. we here a lot about the black girl's work live, but neither have anything to do with the story. It would have been a lot better if he had stuck to the description.

Well, that’s 18:55 I won’t get back. Guess they really don’t teach the basics of storytelling in school anymore.

Dialogue: barely audible Music: BLARING Sound editors always seem to think that the music is more important. WRONG.

Now look guys, if you're only pleased by a "full movie", Michael Bay has you covered.

@lyziette Thank you!!!

Any chance that book, "Temporal and Dimensional Primer" is an actual book. Checked Amazon, not there.

The Old Time Traveler/Danny Morris was great. Eren Yar needs some work.

Michael Poole, Is there crowd funding to finish this adventure?

The old man is the kid?

The character Eric is not a nice person. I can't see him following the 4th law - 'always be kind' His attitude to the man is appalling. He doesn't look at him for a long time, when he is speaking to him. The film promises better things to come but the young man has a lot to do to improve his acting. Good luck with all your plans. I wish I was able to make a film like that.

Welcome to the machine.

Nothing happens. But interesting monologue from the old guy.

In my opinion it's an alternate timeline Dr

Great short. The time machine is, coincidentally almost identical to one I wrote a scenario about. The only variation was the location of the time machine. In my version that was only planned. It's inventor hadn't figured out how to do that yet. Function was a bit different though, I suspect.

Poor ending

I liked it until the audio became uneven...couldn't hear anything for awhile.

My first thought was 'OMFG MatPat!' When I saw the guy in bed.

👌👌👌👌

This video was great, but the explanation about time travel and the machine was a bit long.

Warning, the premise is not new. Dozens of time travel stories have similar subjects such as an older self travels back in time to warn the younger self or to give him something (i.e. an object or advice). The problem with many of these YT videos is that they are mostly 1st chapters with cliffhangers and no middles or conclusions. First chapters typically have lots of exposition to set the stage for what's to follow: build a mystery, introduce characters, pose conflicts, and to get the ball running. If you like starting stories but not finishing them then you will like this video. Notice all the thumbs down....they aren't necessarily because the story is bad, just severely incomplete just as it was getting interesting.

Figures...all the crazy shit happens in Cali.

Eric Cornelius any relation to Jerry Cornelius?

Good story. Non-actors

Is there any more?

another drunk and on drugs before bed video success. goodnight, and to all a good future.

Cute.

To have revealed to us, where the key fit before the end, would have been primo. Now, you will need to do a different story. Sorry about Mr.Morris😔

That's all? assshhh!!!

Well It's not a story anymore 🧐🧐🧐 You've just described at least some of my existence (I'm a scientist an experimenter) in (-distortions of , -dilations of , and -displacements of) Dimensions of time , light , space , and matter Our (4) four , and only four of our existing dimensions of reality 🧐🧐🧐

Well, the synopsis was good, but no kind of ending whatsoever - not good!!

Bull hockey pucks

:)

I need to go explore the fabric of space time . . . but first let me bring along my pissy girlfriend.

Got all excited in the end, but it was the end. It would be even greater if i didnt get blue balls.

I have a theory about time travel. It works but it is useless. You are in TIMELINE A and go back. As soon as you arrive in TIMELINE A of the past the timeline splits. You are now in TIMELINE B. You can do anything you want and it will not have any effect on TIMELINE A. OK, now you jump forward but one again as soon as you arrive in TIMELINE B of the future the time line splits and you are now in TIMELINE C. Everytime you jump you create a new timeline. You can never go to the same timeline twiced. You do not have to worry about a paradox because it is impossible to create one. We will never meet a time traveler for they are forever lost in time. So I say that time travel is possible but it is pointless and worthless. The only thing it may be good for is getting a new start on a life that was messed up.

comic store (world without end) = bible, isaiah 45 v 17.

Eh.

Kid is a bit of a snot, how does this punk get a fine good looking roommate like that

Couldnt tolerate the young phukwits attitude towards the older gentleman in the park. Dont tolerate it in life, i wont subject my self to it in 'shorts/movies' halfway is as much as i could i take.

you should make a part 2

Always remember we must repent of our sins (sin is transgression The Law Of Yahuah The Father in Heaven. The Law are The Books: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, & Deuteronomy). We must repent of our sins and Have Belief On Yahusha The Messiah. HE Died and Rose three days later so that we can be forgiven of our sins! Come to HIM🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

so it is a peace of crap!!! don't waste your time

No
