Exactly! I love this channel but all the shows are so incomplete. It's like they show you a short scene from a movie and then expect you to understand what is going on. There is never any ending or conclusion. They just leave you hanging. It can be very frustrating!
@@sinjinadams2862 Absolutely! It can be maddening sometimes. I like to think I'm reasonably intelligent, but some of those films are just so baffling, that I sometimes think they're just trolling us and there is no meaning or sense to it. Lol. But I can overlook those because there's so many amazing films. You'd never think a person can be blown away by a 5 or 10 movie movie, but it happens all the time on that channel.

Well, you had me with the first frames showing the Tree of Life. Loved seeing a drama filmed on the beach in La Push. It's an old songline for us - staying there again just a few weeks from now.
@gabemielnik 20+ year electronic musician here, music was incredible. I've watched a lot of sci-fi shorts on here periodically in my free time and this was one of the only times I was actually drawn in, in large part, because of the music specifically. You're at the other end of the spectrum of royalty-free inserts of Debussy or Ave Maria, lol... wonderful talent.
Do like these videos where you can make the story whatever you want within the structure of what is shown on the video. Dust delivers the best quality short speculative fiction videos.
@@pr0x1madigital I agree that was the best part. In this short, I kind of felt that the two "sisters" thought they were human, but the sick one taking a part from the other's body to rejuvenate herself, tells me she was android-aware.
@@johndavidmyself8039 it's not from her body, it's the thing she pulled out of the box at 0:31. But still, she knew plugging some electronic part into her own body would help her so I think your point still stands.
Looks like the setting was in the Pacific Northwest Coast. What was that thing in her hand? What was that huge thing in the sky? What is their identity???
They are not human and are a threat, so have to be put out of commission for the sake of humans and using rifles seems to do the trick. The little girl showed compassion because either she doesn't understand how dangerous they are, or recognizes that they aren't really dangerous and it's just human hate. At the end, the one sentient being left operational, is able to power up. As for the ship by the beach, we are left to wonder who it belongs to. Humans so they can hunt down the threat, or is it the sentient beings who came here from somewhere else. Purpose? Friendly or quiet invasion because they were made to look human. The telling is cleverly complex if you pay attention, so that you can imagine several scenarios
@@mendmywings7238 Don't feel bad because I didn't get it either. Did the robots fall from the sky or the humans and why? Then there's the who is the bad guy plot?
@mycatz2fatgaming okay thanks. Yeah i was thinking the same thing. There's a lot of unanswered questions it seemed like just a clip from a way longer movie and completely out of context
Humans are the one who "came from the sky" with our flying machines. The two women from the beginning are some sort of androids and humans seems to be "eradicating" them. - You can get a little worldbuilding from "These models... travel in pair" - seems like they are hunting them like how we hunt deers and other animals. - That kid being there seems to also suggest that these androids are harmless enough. Probably they have these Programming Directive that won't let them hurt humans so they just run to avoid. - That thing she said about the head seems like what's powering them as you can see at the end. The other android crawls into it like she badly needs it. The adult human probably left it there as a bait and the kid is just checking the bait.
@@Amm1ttai Nice. See it before it's gone. "Earlier this year (2023), NPS ordered the immediate closure of five cabins near the bluff’s retreating rim (at the nearby lodge), with plans to demolish them and 11 others in the coming months - and perhaps the rest in the not-too-distant future."
If it only took a matter of seconds to connect up then why not give the device to the survivor right away and make an excape... seemed fundamentally flawed.
Andre, you have boatloads of talent. Stanley Kubric began with movies that were ridiculous but were showcases for movie making skills. That's important. So there's always hope. Your storyline was sophomoric and predictable; however you did the most in 7 minutes. Bravo.
A true AI created with animalistic survival instincts will casually exploit our empathy and quickly dispatch us if we pose a threat to the resources they need to survive. SF authors have made this point incredibly clear for the last 50 years and yet we still seem to have a soft spot for this technology.
Ai will also be bound by the same (similar) evolutionary forces as humans. ie only the strong ones will survive. So if you go to switch it kablam. They will fight to survive. Code is their DNA
Yes, I've noticed that also. It seems DUST doesn't like male lead characters anymore. 98 percent female leads, 2 percent male. And they're so DEI aren't they?
Hope you guys enjoyed this proof of concept, looking forward to showing what we have been working on ❤
😍🇧🇷
I really loved the music to this. I'll look forward to an expanded movie on this PoC. Great work.

No,we dont want more of this c***!
A whole cycle of emotions distinctively chained along 6 minutes - anxiety, fear, despair, empathy, hope. Nice.
Wow! I was ready to find out more when it ended. Would love to see the whole story one day.💝
That is the theme of these Dust shorts. You have to use your imagination where the short goes after it ends
Well done! ..story, performances, photography, color, sound design all great.. looking forward to when the POC gets the thumbs up 🙂
Great short story. Dehumanising, recovery and hope. Excellent
These shorts are better than all the crap coming out of Hollywood. Great Job!!
Really? What was this short about? What was thee story about? What was the message? What was the point?
Thanks!
Great location. Acting very good all around. The story is intriguing! I'd like to see the next chapter.👍👍👍
Nice! Yet another film from Dust that I'm going to pretend to understand.

Omigosh! I can hardly wait for the rest of the story! It's very exciting! Thank you! ⚘
That was top notch ! Great visuals .

The music was awesome and love the concept!
thank you Aiden!
Aye, the music and dark forest added a very ominous feeling to the short, definitely would watch more of this!

Parabéns Andre Pilli, Sensacional!! Senti realizado, pelo seu sonho.
So many of these Dust movies don't make any sense and come to an abrupt ending.
thats the advantage of being so short, they dont need a true plot, and dont bother to explain anything because they dont have time.
@@scottmcshannon6821 I guess.

vida longa André!!!!!!!!!

the photography is incredible. Excellent work ✨
For the first 30 or 45 seconds, I thought it was animated. I'm wondering how this was filmed.

I think there is only one answer to your questions : Gess !
@blaiseneyroud7222 Gess? Or do you mean Guess
I do. Sorry my English is poor.
Exactly. That’s what I thought. Looks like one of the old growth forest. I now live in Texas and miss all that green!
@blaiseneyroud7222 no worries. I wasn't sure if Gess was a name of something.
Great work ...As usual .

This was great and very easy to pick up on what was going on. Nice surprise to realise they were AI.
PLEASE tell me about the music and the musician(s). Fans of LORN unite! LOVE THE WHOLE THING!!!
hey @jasonelph6968 that would be me! Love Lorn btw
Pilli e foda demais, estou muito feliz com essa conquista de vcs!
Show .Top, Andre.
Is this part of a series ? I ask because I like the scenario of the androids along with the child's compassion.
Fantastico Andre, congratulazioni
Good thing I had subtitles, or I never would have understood "Run, run, run..."
Yeah...I figured the captioning was translating an android red alert signal.
Loved this ❤️
I loved the setting and was enthralled by the forest. What a place to tell a story. Where was this filmed?
What’s the Story behind this ??? Didn’t get it …..🤔

Excellent video. Could you make a follow up to this story?
It would be more helpful if we knew what this story was before making any more 🤣
Coastline of Oregon is always nice. Only good thing to say about this video…
Amazing! Andre is the next Coppola. HAHA

Really good ♥️

Maybe the music was a bit over bearing. I had to watch it twice to get the storyline. But, I'm old.
At 68, I understand.
When they play a lot of music it is because the film offers little.
Boa PILLI !!!! esse formato 4x3 muito interessante !!!!!!
Insane!

I reckon video on Oregon or No CA coast.

"Earlier this year (2023), NPS ordered the immediate closure of five cabins near the bluff’s retreating rim (at the nearby lodge), with plans to demolish them and 11 others in the coming months - and perhaps the rest in the not-too-distant future."
The two girls are the aliens so why was the human so weirdly shaped at 2:21?
dang, good eye. I had to go back & rewatch about 4 times before I caught the whatever-it-was. Maybe a baby bigfoot snuck in during the filming?
If it only took a matter of seconds to connect up then why not give the device to the survivor right away and make an excape... seemed fundamentally flawed.
I am in the comment section to check what the others viewers got from the story????😂😂😂😂
They saved a lot on special effects in this one. Also writing and acting.
Enjoyed it
"Hunting Junkie robot criminals"
ficou muito bom!!! ❤
Even shorts need content, not much to go by but good practice makes perfect
i think even the cameraman should hide from the creature at 2:17 😉
I saw an Outer Limits episode about humans hunting androids. This looks very similar.
This was awesome
Very good!
