I loved this for many reasons. It was imaginative and compelling with all kinds of possibilities which my mind to explored as the story unfolded ! The dark dreary setting and ominous lighting created an atmosphere that was tangible and the soundscape filled it with textures. It was really well shot and the acting gave it depth and feeling, the story itself was very unpredictable and I enjoyed watching it play out. The only slight drawback was the dialogue wasn't too clear but I quickly clicked on the 'Captions' button to turn them on, I would not have understood much without them. I realise this was intentional as the soundtrack was an integral part of the film's atmosphere which would have been very difficult to sustain if the voices were more up front. Well done !

Ian Clarke we shouldn’t have to turn on captions to find out what’s said. They can make a movie dark but there’s such a thing as so dark you can’t see what the hell is even happening, so if you can’t see nor hear it how is that good?

@ianc4901 4 жыл бұрын

@@Jillysmom63 I watch on a high quality PC with large screen and cinema surround sound. Turning up the volume to hear the voices made the room shake and widows rattle so I had to keep it to a sensible level. I could hear the voices fine but occasionally I missed a word or two which I found slightly distracting as the voices sometimes got a bit swamped by the soundscape. This has a very complex soundtrack with multiple layers and channels, there is a lot more going on in this film than most others including music videos. When you upload to YT they compress the video and audio which can sometimes have a negative effect overall, it's impossible to predict how a video will sound after YT's compression and very difficult to create a soundscape like this one with perfect vocals that will not be messed up slightly. I don't think reading the captions is too distracting and you can't blame the film makers for YT's compression or for failing to predict or compensate for YT messing up the audio. I'm sure the uncompressed version would be much better, he best way to judge the quality of audio and video is on the original cut, not the YT upload.

It seems a lot of these 'shorts' don't really have to have a meaning as such, leaving a lot of people confused in the comments. Maybe some of these are made by young wanabe movie makers trying to show what they 'could do' with a bigger budget.

@ianc4901 4 жыл бұрын

@@raedgaj3878 It pretty obviously does have a meaning. It is about creating pathways from mathematics and mind power that you can use to go from one place to another and how a married couple of scientists experimented on people and themselves in order to develop this idea. In the process things go wrong with the mind and some peoples bodies but the question is, is that an acceptable risk ? Did you think it was a random series of unconnected events and scenes put together to show the film makers skills ?

Diana Redfield - "Die in a red field." - because of her willingness to tread on the bodies she sacrifices. Talya - tally, one mark in the many "data points."

I usually am okay and done with these shorts after I watch them cause they typically have some closure but I feel this short could very well be continued and added on with some more backstory and has a looooot of potential to be turned into something great. Please let the storymaker and writers and producers know that many of us would love to see more exploration into this short and story. I believe this could truly be turned into a hit tv series with even possibilities of movie contracts and deals. Y'all keep up the fantastic work I love seeing new content from y'all Dust!!

Here is a wonderful example of science-fiction story telling, as it reveals no matter how far and grand we unlock the secrets of the Universe, we are still hindered by our most petty emotional whims and unending desires. For this is the motivation that drives us to our grandest ventures while it also guides us towards unspeakable Madness. It is here, by which, the Angels did Fall from Grace, Wings did burn off, as they fell like Comets onto the Earth. How far will our wings carry us before the weight of our own Hubris brings us down?

I'm a bit baffled by the negative nellies in the comments who say this has no plot and it was an incoherent mess. For me, this one of the best shorts I've seen a great big while coming from DUST. The way the story unfolded with a lot of show and only a little tell was awesome and gripping, the whole idea behind the very runic-like symbols being the gateway to the fabric of space and time, and overall production values made this a real treat. The only criticism I have is about volume: either the pronunciation or the mixing of the dialog was a bit off, and when Talya was introduced, I had to turn captions on to understand what she was saying - though for me this is a small matter, as I tend to watch everything with captions on anyway. Great stuff!

I always end up confused and feeling like nothing had cohesion because there was no back story or lead in to start from. I'm floundering through the whole film for a grasp on what's happening but it never comes. Kinda like Star Wars where you have so much focus on light saber battles and indecipherable tech babble but no substance. This one KILLED IT! Id love to see new installments of this theme.
