Beautifully done. A really serious piece of professional film making. No 'edges' no patchy parts, just simple yet deep and moving. And no 'twist' ! That in itself raises it above the average.
Vatroslav Morbidović I just wondered, would this really happen in real life? That you let yourself be talked into a suicide? She was so busy saving others but wanted to kill him. She was no doctor, but a deluded narcissist.
Such a beautiful yet unsettling movie. One of the few that usually leaves a lasting impression on me. This isn't about their technology or detecting them from space. It's about the Human Condition.
To put a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits slant to it: The final ships sound their horns and lift off. With all of the alien's newly acquired livestock/slave labor safely restrained; the signal is sent to a ship parked just outside our solar system to switch its holographic generator off. The purple hue gives way to cool moonlight cast across the beach. The scene fades from the couple's astonished faces to a classically designed room with a lit fire place glowing against the fine wood embellishments of a study lined with old books. Against the crackling of burning logs a shadowed figure raises a bubbly champagne filled glass and pierces the relative silence. "A toast! Here's to a fresh infusion of technology and a population size far more manageable. What a fine punctuation to decades of negotiation! It was a very reasonable transaction." Comfortable in a decadently upholstered chair another takes a sip and contemplates. "Yes, more manageable, but willing to die. There will surely be outrage." "Ah yes, but the outrage is always desired. Its the sweet chorus of confusion and anger we wait for before we provide a solution. The outrage will eventually give way to their pride of staying behind. We'll see to that. And when it does, we'll be ready to 'protect' them and insure such an unfortunate deception never happens again.......as we always have." Scene fades out to light laughter.
Wouldn’t make any sense to make a light show just to get slaves. They are an advanced species. All they had to do is drug the atmosphere to make us into sheep and just direct us to board their ships. Slaves safely acquired..... No muss no fuss.
It would not surprise me.But as previously stated an advanced race would not need to spend the effort.If they were an advanced but warlike race for example.They could simply display their technological/military might.Show the global population that their military's cant defend them.Then tell every government on Earth at the U.N. we want slaves.Each country will provide a qouta which will be determined by the current population of their nation or country.Resist or fail to comply and their will be consequences.Your war machines will be decimated utterly.Then we will take the required slaves from your civilian population until the qouta from that region has been filled.You have 24 of your hours to decide.
So, first she convinced the poor lad to leave earth and become an alien slave. Then she made sure they get as late as possible along the way, while also criticizing and judging him for hurrying up to the ship. In the end, when he is finally ready to go be an alien puppet, she tells him that he has changed and decides to stay behind and die instead. What a nice story.
So he never decided to leave before they arrived? Given up all the reasons to help others when he thought it was now useless? Yep. We all love our dystopias, don't we? And he had no opportunity to meet a different woman? Come on. Sure, she's a bleeding heart that cares about others. Boohoo. You can all decide to be with a heartless bitch if you want. The moment she dumps any of your asses to say, "Be seeing you sucka" you'll swear up and down she was the best? He could have decided he does not want to be with someone like that. At any point. Why do men act like other men are really that gullible? I've yet to meet any man that decides to do something major without logic being involved.
Excellent! Packed a tremendous amount of character development into a very short film. High budget photography, likely on a low budget. It's time to make a full feature, you're ready.
High-energy radiation from black holes could have taken longer (only by minutes though) We've observed this effect. Researchers think that the radiation is interacting with “quantum foam” to cause the delay.

My thoughts exactly, which is why I didn't watch most of the film , the comments filled me in on the plot and ending . Still , fair play , Dust is probably my favourite Utube channel
I just watched this movie again and saw more to it than the first time around. It has a very good storyline and the acting is good. The special effects are interesting and the ending was satisfying. I don't know why I felt such dislike for the female character the first time around, but, I was not the only one according to the other comments here.
LOLOL she strung that dude along just to be like, "naw I'd rather die" for like, no good reason whatsoever.... because she couldn't take her crap with her?
This shows how most people would react to a situation like this if it was to come to fruition. Ignorant and ill prepared. Trust no one or nobody but your self.
I loved the story. When we love, and depending on what we love, life becomes surprising. Sometimes we do not have to be superheroes to discover that our strength is greater than life itself, making us understand that existence is only a detail and that we need more to complete ourselves - this is what gives meaning to our lives: to live but more fully. Fantastic!
+Redally Wood, That's just not true at all. When I make up my mind it's like I'm running on rails, or down a steel pipe, or the barrel of a sniper rifle, or some other thing that keeps me on target, But then again maybe it is true.
@@packratswhatif.3990 No matter how bad your life is/might be, it is still better to exist than not. Death will not, can not deliver anything but eternal darkness and nothingness - with no second chances. No matter how bad and tormenting your life might be, it is still a miracle and just a one-shot deal. You shouldn't just want to throw it away so easily, on a whim. But if you are feeling this way then you should speak to someone or service that can provide some support.
The most meaningful moment to was the picture at 15:39 The tree, with two sides, half moon and green, half supernova and earie, two points of view in the arguing between both, two different futures, two different handling of situations...this picture will stuck in my mind. This was a very good short!!!
+Copernicus Seriously? Don't you know that the Earth rotates, and that's what causes day and night? Our Earth faces a different direction during the day than it does during the night. Get it?
+R Hayat wow. correct. to be honest, i didnt think you are asking out of this possibility. the word "visibile" had mislead me. it depends on the position of the supernova in the sky and the position of the observer. remember that the days are much longer near north pole. this means the sun is visible a very long time at those positions even if the earth is rotating.similarly, the supernova can be seen most of the 24 hours if its position produces a similar condition for north america. moreover, judging from actor's clothes it is winter. which means days are short.which increases the possibility of nigh vision.
Absoulely infuriating. you give away your water to two girls that aren't there and you don't know. Then you get all in your feelings and want to save the guy that was trying to kill you r a doctor and thats what you do, ridiculous. Those two decisions made me hate this. So cliche and stupid.
Gr8 film sir. Love the music score. The filters were gr8 as well as the lighting and post production editing. You did very well. Thank you and kudos to all that made this possible!
Touching, yet moving. I get what you were going for. Special fx off the hook! And IT WILL come to this at the end, and probably much more violent. I like your tranquil ending. Gives a little hope to the situation we WILL be in. Quality time.😪
Seemed like a real possibility of how things will end for ERth...as in a Super Nova 'radiation wave' destroying Earth. Not so sure about space crafts coming here like that, yet, it's definitely possible. I definitely give this short film a 10/10. It deserves a high score due to everything. Well done!
I love the acting & premise of this film, now for some facts: It's pretty unanimous among scholars who study this that being from 50 to 100 light-years is the closest safe distance between Earth and a supernova. We're pretty certain which stars will go supernova in the future, they give off unmistakable markers. Spica a is the closest star that could go supernova it is 240 light-years from Earth. Spica has several times the mass of the Sun, & it shouldn't go off for a few million years yet. The super giant red star Betelgeuse, located in Orion's belt will definitely go supernova, in fact it may have already happened, it's located 430 light-years away, so if it went supernova 400 years ago, we wouldn't know until it's light reached us in another 30 years, BTW this would be one spectacular light show, but not have any effects on us...
I could see a story involving an Alien civilization fleeing their dying world and turning up at Earth. Would they be aggressive and militaristic with higher technology. Would they be carbon based? We can't assign human morality, culture and feelings to a completely alien species. Not every alien race is going to be E.T. and furry Ewoks.
Holy crap, it would have been the greatest thing ever if they would have shown one of the Kanamit ushering them aboard saying, please relax, we are only here to serve you, and the couples fear is assuaged.
After watching this again after 6 years, it's still a fine little film. Congratulations, cast and crew, and the person who wrote the short story on which the film was based. I've had a few acquaintances criticize the female lead and her choices towards the end of the film as if it personally affected them in some way , which I found a bit strange and disconcerting , but it's a film , the characters made their choices , and I thought it was poetic and moving. I'm going to google you Mr Whitmore and see what else you've done. All the best !
I enjoyed the concept a lot more than I would have thought. I hate the idea of humanity being in such a situation. But the focus on those who stayed rather than those who went made it bearable. Points for uniqueness and originality!
Apart from some scientific inaccuracies, i was troubled with the side most filmmakers take on: The worst and usually the most irrational way of human behavior. I am referring to the shootout at the house with the old man, a man who without reason would rather choose to shoot a girl in dire circumstances. Of course, it is an easy way to create some drama scenes, but still is something I do not like seeing in many films. Take the convenient way isn't always the best thing to do to create some action/drama scenes. Other than that, the film is well narrated and with good acting. The story is very good as to the dilemma it represents. What I would like to see is a continuation of what is life in the slave spaceships.
Great work!!! I truly love so many absolutely amazing & beautiful creations. I look forward to watching & escaping into an interesting universe my spirit jives with! Cheers to your imagination being out of this world, but your feet grounded on Earth! FOUND...a plane of magic! ♥ ♥ ♥
This was good up until 3:18 when they stopped and the dude started unpacking his entire back pack after running for their lives. At that point I lost any connection to the characters for not having any realistic survival traits. Oh and I stopped watching it and started reading the comments, glad I didn't waste my time.
After all that hard work, leaving water for those children, killing a man, get to the fance line just here those words.. should've stayed at home & waited.
I just started watching this,and the first words I hear is "This is the image of the supernova if it's in our path." Here's a tip for the movie. If you capture a image of the supernova; then it's in your path. 🤣
Ignore all the negative comments. For the price of admission, this was EXCELLENT entertainment. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for this fascination tale and awesome graphics.
I could see my wife and me in this. Survive like a worrier and lose your humanity or become a slave. They chose to love each other, accept their fate and die together with the planet. beautiful movie!
Death by sypanova or Aliens? Which do you pick? I pick Aliens. Remember they could've appeared long before the supanova threat to invar but they only appeared when it happened, when earth was in distress mode.
To those that chose a life of slavery over death: Remember...having something is sometimes worse than wanting it. Or...to quote an old favorite: be careful what you wish for. You might just get it.
Nicely done. I enjoyed that. The script was well thought out. You were able to give the characters definition in a very small time Left me wanting more. Well done.
Excellent movie, if only the world knew they ARE facing an incoming supernova that has been referred to as The Event; The EMPCO. REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS CALLED IT IS THE REASON FOR THE CALAMITY IN THE HEAVENS AND THE CATASTROPHIC WEATHER AND EARTH CHANGING EVENTS HAPPENING NOW ON AN ESCALATING SCALE. Thank you for sharing your insight. with such clarity.
A supernova multiple light years away wouldn't be an End Times issue, and our Sun will never go nova. Those complaining about the behavior of the actress...heck, there are people like that in reality.
Good plot concept. Just hate knowing people like them would rather see the human race go extinct than make a small sacrifice and risk becoming someone or something else to survive.
Hell no! Who knows what the future holds for the people who went up in the ships. We know next to nothing of the ship owner’s intentions. Like the graffiti said, I’d remain on Earth rather than possibly be a slave or worse. There are worse things than death. A supernova crash would be so fast, like an ant’s experience when killed by a shoe stepping on it. At least that is how I feel about this!
"I'm gonna cry now, and shame you into doing whatever the heck want you to do, in the moment because I live from moment to moment, directed by my biological imperatives"
So she “can’t let” him make the sacrifice of going on the ship for her - but it’s okay for her to die to fulfill his wishes? She doesn’t want to lose more of him, but she’s willing to lose all of him? The plot just seems contrived to me.
A short film with an actual story and characters. Thats something special in my experience. I like it.
Beautifully done. A really serious piece of professional film making. No 'edges' no patchy parts, just simple yet deep and moving. And no 'twist' ! That in itself raises it above the average.
It would have been much better ending if he just said: "Ok, see ya!", and went on board. :D

Umm...HE was the one who never wanted to leave in the spaceship. I actually thought he was going to tell her to go while he stayed behind.

Candid Camera - Intergalactic
i thought the same° what if it was a trick of the aliens?
That's about it.
The soundtrack helped portray the emotion so much.... allowed the desperation and sadness to be more at the forefront of the story
This could easily be a TV series. Spread the story out over 5-10 yrs and you have a captive audience.
It’s movie clips like this that get you to thinking. Great story.
Lots of negative comments here but I thought it original. No actor will get an Oscar but I applaud the crew that produced this. .
Geoffrey Bawden And they showed us alien spaceships that are not super massive Hollywood versions of my cheese platter!

Agree. I was able to get inside the story and it made me think. Good work.

me to i would of had do the same thing
Was hoping it would show the alternative, and what the aliens were going to do with the survivors. Nice ship design and supernova design, regardless!
Cynthia Myers - Yeah, I was hoping they'd at least see someone trying to get off the ship and what the consequences would be.

I am referring to the shootout at the house with the old man, a man who without reason would rather choose to shoot a girl in dire circumstances. Of course, it is an easy way to create some drama scenes, but still is something I do not like seeing in many films. Take the convenient way isn't always the best thing to do to create some action/drama scenes.
Other than that, the film is well narrated and with good acting. The story is very good as to the dilemma it represents. What I would like to see is a continuation of what is life in the slave spaceships.
Beautiful short film!
Janice and you are the making of a new film!!!!!! I call it, "HEAVEN AWAITS"!!!!!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
Great work!!! I truly love so many absolutely amazing & beautiful creations. I look forward to watching & escaping into an interesting universe my spirit jives with!
Cheers to your imagination being out of this world, but your feet grounded on Earth! FOUND...a plane of magic!

This was good up until 3:18 when they stopped and the dude started unpacking his entire back pack after running for their lives. At that point I lost any connection to the characters for not having any realistic survival traits. Oh and I stopped watching it and started reading the comments, glad I didn't waste my time.
😂
Id leave this earth just to leave it (WITHOUT ANY OTHER HUMANS)
Not too bad as a whole. The woman though was frustratingly dumb, and took away some of the viewing pleasure.
the canadian patriot have a problem with humanity, great job patriot
Not surprised, typical ending. Great work on the film, awesome actors.
Wow, tough crowd! I think this was nicely done and got drawn in for the whole film.
After all that hard work, leaving water for those children, killing a man, get to the fance line just here those words.. should've stayed at home & waited.
I just started watching this,and the first words I hear is "This is the image of the supernova if it's in our path." Here's a tip for the movie. If you capture a image of the supernova; then it's in your path. 🤣
I really enjoyed that. Thank you.
Ignore all the negative comments. For the price of admission, this was EXCELLENT entertainment. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for this fascination tale and awesome graphics.
I could see my wife and me in this. Survive like a worrier and lose your humanity or become a slave. They chose to love each other, accept their fate and die together with the planet. beautiful movie!
10 second critic: the moment you hear hollywoodish "I will do everything to save you" you know it cannot be good
Death by sypanova or Aliens? Which do you pick? I pick Aliens. Remember they could've appeared long before the supanova threat to invar but they only appeared when it happened, when earth was in distress mode.
This reminds me too much of the Twilight Zone episode: To Serve Man.
Sypanova?? supanova??
To those that chose a life of slavery over death:
Remember...having something is sometimes worse than wanting it.
Or...to quote an old favorite: be careful what you wish for. You might just get it.
so many comments about rushing to be an alien slave or that maybe the aliens were just kidding about enslaving them...smh
Depends on their slavery techniques.
We're slaves to the man ere
a well made and thoughtful, thought-provoking, film. Thank you.
Nicely done. I enjoyed that. The script was well thought out. You were able to give the characters definition in a very small time Left me wanting more. Well done.
Great story, should of showed the aliens and their true purpose of helping.
Right, that could have been a good ending, a little twist at the end. That's what a lot of classic sci-fy will do.
Pets, cannon fodder, or food. What would an interstellar civilization want with organic slaves anyway?
'should have' Debra, 'should have'.
IKR? Like, the aliens engineered the supernova in the first place, huh? Nice plot twist!
Nah, script was too busy showing us how a woman can hold you back and help you commit suicide.
Aaand the aliens were just filling their meat fridges.
Twilight Zone. "To Serve Man"?
More likely than enslavement, but still a stretch. They are Aliens so our meat shouldn't be digestible... unless they feed on brainwaves or something.
@@pokeypuppy2083 *How to serve man
And a more deserving species, I cannot imagine.
Women can be complicated.... if there was a puppy to save she would go aboard.
Can someone explain me what she had done wrong?
@@fourbandits You're a sexist keep opinions for yourself since that was just acting the directors told her to do it not she
@@fourbandits why aint you getting to the point I don't want to read the story again. She had done *nothing* wrong.
@@fourbandits You ain't getting to the point from what you say. SHE HAD DONE NOTHING WRONG FOR GOD'S SAKE!
@@fourbandits You literally just care about this film.
Excellent movie, if only the world knew they ARE facing an incoming supernova that has been referred to as The Event; The EMPCO. REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT IS CALLED IT IS THE REASON FOR THE CALAMITY IN THE HEAVENS AND THE CATASTROPHIC WEATHER AND EARTH CHANGING EVENTS HAPPENING NOW ON AN ESCALATING SCALE. Thank you for sharing your insight. with such clarity.
Wow, so she finds water, leaves the tap running while she gets a bottle. What a genius.
A supernova multiple light years away wouldn't be an End Times issue, and our Sun will never go nova. Those complaining about the behavior of the actress...heck, there are people like that in reality.
Our sun will eventually go nova but humanity will be long gone before it does!
@@dragonan5692 The Sun will not go Supernova but according to the third woe in Revelation it will indeed go Nova for a few months.
All stars, sun, go nova at some point.
@@jameshalleluyah8133 fortunately that's mythology.
@@zajournals We shall see.
Why would fuel and water be scarce all the sudden?
Most have been good short movies.
This one, not so much and I couldn't finish watching it.
Very good! Who knows how any of us would cope in the same situation.
What a wonderful film....loved it.
Better than most of the full-length movies.
Interesting premise. Didn't care for the actress at all.
She was a pain in the ass
I"d be like OKAY BYE!!!
Very powerful. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.
I absolutely loved this movie!!
Good plot concept. Just hate knowing people like them would rather see the human race go extinct than make a small sacrifice and risk becoming someone or something else to survive.
Hell no! Who knows what the future holds for the people who went up in the ships.
We know next to nothing of the ship owner’s intentions. Like the graffiti said, I’d remain on Earth rather than possibly be a slave or
worse. There are worse things than death. A supernova crash would be so fast, like an ant’s experience when killed by a shoe stepping on it.
At least that is how I feel about this!
"I'm gonna cry now, and shame you into doing whatever the heck want you to do, in the moment because I live from moment to moment, directed by my biological imperatives"
I will follow this awesome man everywhere I need to go , he is my saviour from extinction okay 🥺
Thanks for the nice well acted movie!
So she “can’t let” him make the sacrifice of going on the ship for her - but it’s okay for her to die to fulfill his wishes? She doesn’t want to lose more of him, but she’s willing to lose all of him? The plot just seems contrived to me.
So this was basically a relationship crisis with aliens doing their best to stay out of it. OK.
MrSporkster ha! That’s funny.
I ain't going in no damn spaceship !
Fantastic production, great sci fi
each second spent with her was a "fate worse than death"
