Excellent short. Brilliantly done by everyone. I’m always astonished by the level of talent and craft put into the short films I find on Dust. Fantastic.

Good. Those who are willing to put down their freedoms in return for safety and comfort lose what it is that makes us human. Conformity stifles creativity.

When my son was little, my mom was watching a show she used to watch when she was younger. It was in Black and White. All of a sudden he said "What was it like living when everything was black and white? It must've been so boring." He thought that's what the world was like. 😄
Ever seen an old black-and-white movie, then watched it again after it has been colourised? The effect can be startling and you can see why kids might think the whole world used to be B&W.
Same! I’m a hobby WWII buff and when I was a kid in late 70s-, I would pour over books on the subject, the photos, of course, were mainly black & white. I still have to ‘recalibrate’ when watching a color WWII film.
My son is on the autism spectrum. This story touches strong with me. The world wants him to be something that he isn't. I'm ashamed to say that sometimes I've wished that too. But he a color, a rhythm, a path that's different from others. It's beautiful and scary to me all at once. This story reminds me not to stomp out that color. He is, and will always be, my beautiful baby boy! I love you, Clive.
It in a way reminds me of Equilibrium (which I find to be a quite underrated movie), but instead of feelings it's colors. But colors, especially in art, are so evocative that I could see the lack of it felt so strongly. As an artist myself I'd feel incredibly bereft and that scene with the painter holding the desaturated picture is so heartbreaking. I would've loved to see a whole movie about this and the character development of Dan and his journey forward. Probably one of my favorite shorts in quite a while!
I was getting Equlibrium vibes from the beginning, especially when Dan was using the pastels. That movie is criminally underrated... Would love to see a sequel made someday!!

One of these times where you think "wow this is really an idea that I haven't seen before". That colorless future was something new. Only mistake is revealed at the end, by the movie itself, but doesn't really change the verdict about the movie. The painter could pay with the color of his blood. This is the kind of movies that bring viewers back to DUST.
I am indian 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 . Iknow little knowledge of English but isaw your all episodes . Your cinmetography is next levels and audio and visual effects are next level . Your all episodes are very fabulous many episodes iwatch 2 to 3 times if anybody can watch your episodes he or she will definitely die hard fan of your episodes . Thanks again
The technological advancement concepts were very creative and the fact that this episode shows what government can do when we rely on them was undoubtedly a fantastic feature
The irony is that this isn't a government in the video; it's a corporation. This a Cyberpunk setting with corporatocracy. This is not a warning against "Big Democracy", it's a warning against corporations.
It has taken me a long time to reply to you I'm sorry about that and I now see what you mean I don't think the government should be too big but I have come to the understanding that corporations are much worse in the long run and democracy promotes freedom other than that this was an amazing cyberpunk short film.
Interesting concept and excellent execution. Although I almost wish it could've ended with him using the crayons to spread color on the walls and everywhere before submitting to the prisms. A futile gesture perhaps, but a symbolic one.
@@privatemale27 Oh, that will be taken care of! In fact, that makes for quite a plot hole/missed opportunity -- if color is so valuable and the humon body continually produces more inside itself... well, you can figure out the rest! Clearly, for this concept to work the insides of things with color removed must be b&w like the outsides.
Hey let's willingly give up all of our agency for the sake of what we think is security! Thanks for a very deep and VERY artistic perspective on subjugation. Thank you for giving a voice to those who cried out over the years to be seen and heard, simply by being artists.
I''m an artist but I can't get over that it takes more energy to run around in those machines as well as the extractors so that I can't imagine that the colors off set the cost. What happens when all the colors are gone? Are they going to zap the people themselves? Where is the giant glass prism's that will make a rainbow of color?
I submit, the short films produced by DUST are far better than Hollywood. The directing, actors, CGI, and productions. As said so many times below, the film in its entirety is fantastic, the never ending tease is the hook.
this one was a good one. I notice a lot of the new stuff is exploring emotions that arent realy story driven, they are the story. This was the right mix. This isnt an episode of friends, its sci-fi
A unique take on the "usual" story of authoritarian corporatocracy, expressed via the lumen-industrial complex. Remarkably well done into a 15 min short. It seems I may have seen this before, many months ago, but that's OK, doesn't detract from the quality of the production. Somewhat reminds me of the film "Equilibrium", only there it was the enforced suppression of passion and emotion. Harvesting color for energy . . . definitely a different avenue, this could have been made into a feature length film or a series.
Excellent story - excellently told and perfectly enacted. Jackson Miller's choice of ending is...mature. There are things you can't live with and a person can be driven to no longer care about "self-preservation" that in fact is nothing of the sort. THIS truth has been faced, confronted and died for throughout history. Do you work to live or live to work? Do rules and laws serve you, or are you their slave? Question everything. Well done, worth re-watching and passing along - esp. to the very young.
The film work is great. Definitely some Equilibrium feels going on here. The premise doesn't hold up well; growing flowers seems to completely solve the power issue without all the conflict.
Really enjoyed this short clip. pulled me in and kept me on edge, the amount of detail placed into the characters was extraordinary! Keep up the great work, hope to see more from you in the future.

As a colorblind person, it took me a while for this to really register. I mean, I can see colors but have a hard time telling what they are; therefore, I tend to not differentiate various cues based on color. Generally, I ignore colors since I can’t trust (or, rather, can’t be trusted) what they’re supposed to represent - you know, like a stoplight. In that case, I have to rely on the lights’ position. Anyway, once it dawned on me how Cold War Soviet Union the scenes looked, I had to start over. Interesting concept that I took more seriously after seeing the girl killed about…color.
This short is fantastic! Quite a dreary thought though.... A life without any color? AND a government executing control over it as well a the populace. I think the old tale is retold here, in a way that makes it exciting & feels new. Great work.
This short kinda makes me lose IQ lol. Have they never heard of farming? if you can extract colour surely there is a way to manipulate and reproduce it, otherwise that would be a terrible idea.

Great story. If our future is truly going to be like this then humanity should perish from the earth. Who would want to live in a world with no beauty. A completely grey world? Our future looks bleak!
a most Interesting and bazar story for sure.... extremely unlikely but horribly possible. I am even more hooked to this style of story telling. Thank You
For a scifi plot to work one must use a subject that creates suspension of disbelief in the viewer. Sadly, for me at least, the idea that color can be extracted from something without physically altering/destroying it in the process would have been a difficult concept to swallow, but at least the concept of bleaching exists an so is usable; however, the idea that color can be removed to turn into energy is jumping the shark. The color of objects comes from their reflection of light they don't absorb. To remove their color would mean either adding something to block the color the object absorbs, or removing the reflective pigments which would result in the object turning black as it absorbed all light energy. Neither option is really believable enough to suspend my disbelief as both would have the opposite effect. The energy we're talking about in both situations would be solar related. So if color absorption was the goal then it should have focused on extracting all of the light it self casting the world into darkness; however, disregarding the plot, the fundamental production quality and acting was very good.
Indeed. It's a monumentally ridiculous premise. If you needed more colour you could just extract red blood cells from all living creatures and grow lots of flowers.
