* LeFilmArtistique: Frederick C. Borromeo, a "BlackSheep" game developer had a passion of making his own film without a script by experiment.

* AbsurdlyShortProductionTime: Well, it takes time for two days to create maps and record film.

* InspirationForTheWork: Drew inspiration of experimental films and Creator/LarsVonTrier's aesthetics, and then inspired by Kadokawa and Harumaki's map design, who also credited in the film.

* TheOner: Arguably considered one of the first examples of machinima 40-minute feature produced only in RPG Maker.

* LeaveTheCameraRunning: The end of ''Distortion'' until fades to black.

* NoPlotNoProblem: ''Distortion'', however, entirely doesn't have a plot or story due to lack of creative differences and script difficulties, as well as no characters, dialogues, and music, nearly similar to {{Creator/Andy Warhol}}'s art film {{Film/Empire 1964}}.

* SlowPacedBeginning: Each one scene was in slow-paced takes less than two minutes, so in total of thirty scenes takes up to fourty minutes.

* BoringButPractical: It's highly possible to getting bored to watch it whole, but it innovates editing and elements throughout the machinima to make it more cinematic.

* LimitedAnimation: ''Distortion'' is considered a limited animation (like waters were moving frame-by-frame) through a single computer, using a game engine with camera core plugin in order to incorporates slow-pacing movement in each scene.
* NoBudget: ''Distortion'' doesn't have any budget (except the game engine, which costs more than sixty dollars; it only uses the trial version to make), though it uses free several assets from RPG Maker and game websites for the machinima.

* UsefulNotes/RPGMaker: Produced in RPG Maker MV.

Produced in RPG Maker MV engine as well as using editing software and several RMMV plugins to incorporate camera movements and editing, especially the latter's cross-fading dissolution and minimalistic scenery. Despite its short length with a minimum of fourty minutes, it still marked as the first feature-length (and non-narrative) film or machinima to produce with the UsefulNotes/RPGMaker engine.

* {{Dissolve}}: All scenes that the original settings gradually fade into [[{{Minimalism}} canva-like blank environments]], resulting in [[{{RetGone}} everyone else disappeared without a trace]].
