A message sent from the unknown depths of space is wonderous
and at the same time fundamentally terrifying.
How it is recieved and interpreted is what we wanted to explore.
What will you conclude?
I before e except after c
Kinda feels like they didnt come in peace hihi. But if it was me i would want to know more and that ending will keep me guessing for while.
@@tims9434 Lol.
Now that was worth watching
It came out of an ocean that appears to be its native habitat, so I don't think it wants to eat him.
There's only one of him, so I don't think it wants to enslave him. One at a time would be very inefficient.
The email seems to indicate that it wants to talk to him. The content seems to indicate that it wants to program him.
The spells where he jumps locations appear to be the development of some new kind of ability.
A test maybe? One that he appears to have passed at least the first part of.
YO this IT guy seriously downloaded a random attachment from a random email on his work PC? Then plug that PC into his server farm? This guy's lucky it was aliens.
It's because he deleted it but it came back. But definitely a poor choice
😂 "This guy's lucky it was aliens." I love this comment.😂
A better ending would be to zoom in on his cell phone back at his bedroom with it ringing. The Caller ID says BOSS, we over hear their message yelling at him that the network is still down and he doesn't have a job anymore. ;)
Was thinking that myself
🤣🤣🤣
100%... if that guy is IT... ouch...
He's been trying to reach you about your planets extended warranty!
😂 👍
Time is running out
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Renew now! This is a one time offer!!
Brilliant 😂
Naw! It's about male enhancement!
The moral of the story is you should never open unsolicited spam mail
...unless compelled to do so by an alien intelligence.
There, fixed it for ya...
You read my Mind 🤣
Unless you're a 419Baiter...
👽
Kutulo é você?😂😂😂
This is how grandmas feel when they click on pop ups and their computer starts acting up
Dang Norton really stepping up their ad game
honestly this short film is incomprehensible.
As an admin, he should've known better not to open an email with an attachment from an unknown source. ijs.
Hell yes. He should have known better
I agree. Very foolish, could be virus
If a mysterious sound file is his escape from a boring, worse-than-mundane life, then can he be blamed for being curious?
Ain't that the truth. Never ever open an email from an UNKNOWN source .
@@JohnGauntSega32 Ummm, yeah, he can be blamed. Because by the end of this short video, he sure looked like he wished he was back to his boring life. He's hardly equipped to handle all this wormhole jumping. Plus, I believe he's left behind the laptop and the phone. And the vibes weren't screaming, "Luke, I am your father, and everything will be okay."
This dude is screwed.
"These 'shrooms ain't shiz...wait, what's this email?"
Now, that was proper cosmic horror...
Chtulu lives 😂
Chthulu's younger brother just wanna say "HI"!
This is very intense considering there's hardly any dialogue.
That's one way to order food delivery.
Seriously, this was creative, beautiful, intelligent, original and told something very important. Love what you did. You are a real artist.
Well done to the people working in special effects, that was an eye candy! Well done guys!
Brilliant piece of film making. Show, don’t tell.
Very well shown. Thanks for posting.👍🏻✌🏻
Because there's nothing to tell, it's all just effects.
@@videotrexx
"Show, don't tell" works mainly on written works, because, this one is a film, what are they supposed to 'tell' in a short film?
Gawd! Brought back flashbacks from my last industrial accident at the kitchen stove from a downloaded recipe.
what a Lovecraftian ending
The sense of isolation surrounding this guy was so thick you could cut it with a knife. For me it begged the question, was this really happening to him or was it isolation induced madness? This is one of the best DUST films I've seen.
pretty mysterious. Cyber isolation was well depicted. Good film.
He should change drug dealers, his current dealer is putting bath salts and junk in the smoke.
What an awesome intro! Good story too. Was that... a.. Oh Good Job IT you done summoned Chtulu.
Fairy-tale uncles in the future:
"And that, my dear children, is what happens when you open unchecked attachments from strangers"
HAHA
The beginning made me feel like I was a small particle of our infinite universe... what a fabulous ride. Loved it!
With Dust I typically expect something with a good idea, or with good execution, or great effects, or something thought provoking, or scary, or deeply visceral. It's incredibly rare to get more than one or two of those, and unheard of to get them all. But you did just that. Very well done and satisfying. This was wonderful, thank you!
Главное не выходить со своей комнаты она для нас безопасный "домик".😅
Спасибо !!! Не часто можно увидеть Хороший фильм!!!
Спасибо всем кто сделал этот проект.
This is a straight AAA, thanks for this very professional and mind bending video 🙏
I have seen this film before.
Well, I believe this individual made contact with otherworldly entities and they have invaded the time and space continuum that he previously understood.
After all his job was to review the signals that were interpreted from other destinations in the cosmos and received on Earth.
After the initial contact of what he heard he could have either made a file, report it, delete it but instead downloaded it.
This one was a doozy!

Masterful in concept, acting and Special FX.

Actual depiction of what would have happened if you installed AOL 10.0….
those are the daydreams I have when listening to music
An unknown message from somewhere and you don't know from where can be curious and a little frighting .
I almost clicked out of it with those 1st two minutes
Me too, thought it might just be a sizzle reel.
Wow, what an absolute mind bender "Signal Dark" is, brilliant a gripping, entrancing, rabbit hole of a Sci-Fi reel...Tips Fedora to all involved in the making of Signal Dark, thank you and cheers Dust for sharing the reel.
Typical Dust. Always high quality, clever and thought provoking.
The strangest thing about this,(at time of typing) is that the video was released just over an hour ago,but there is A comment from 2 weeks ago.
time travel
Probably from the creators of the film.
Probably Patreon supporters or channel members that get to see stuff early.
@@godzillaeyes I'd bet $ on yours OR what patricklee5239 wrote, from creators of the film, since it gives brief desc and asks a question. I was going to joke ask Arthur Dent. How it got here is a script for a future video. LOL. Being "pinned" might be a clue. Someone's clock is on Martian time zone.
Could have been reposted
This is here , this is now FIRETRUCK ,FIRETRUCK , FIRETRUCK
That was cool. Award winning cool.
brave man. not necessarily a happy ending, not necessarily bad. that why I like this. because too many people take a brave character and show him as either being a winner or a loser. either bravery always works or always fails. They miss the point about courage, it's a risk. that's why we respect brave men who show it.
Just goes to show what could happen if you open some dodgy email 😂
This was fun. Well done! Now we want more.
... and that, children, is why you should always read the EULA carefully. Seriously, had me jumping; nicely done.
When the Dell sales rep wont take no for an answer.
seriously though, good stuff.
Fantastic film. Thank you/team for making and showing this brilliant piece of fantasmagorical art. Love the beastie at the end. Probanly drive one a bit mad hoppimg to and fro between frightening realities. Nightmare stuff.
That's why I never open unsolicited e-mails...
Needs to be a movie. Intriguing concept.
Sometimes the truth hertz, buddy.
You need to get this short into major motion picture 🎉
It's funny, only last week I was updating some design notes with a notion like this. Humans are unique in that sound has a profound effect upon us across all levels of our cognition - emotional, intellectual and even somatic. Sounds can literally shape our understanding and interactions with reality. So I pondered, what if that process was refined beyond language and music? A perfected way to reshape the mind in a way that we don't percieve but our minds react to. A mind hack ,as it were, that we think is random noise but fundamentally changes everything about us in moments.
👍exactement, très bonne réflexion, surtout si nous prenons en compte le fait que soyons potentiellement dans une matrice, l'énergie, le son, sont des informations, le cerveau est un décodeur, qui interprète et réagit aux informations en envoyant des signaux aux autres sens 🤔
exactly, very good thinking, especially if we take into account the fact that we are potentially in a matrix, energy, sound, are information, the brain is a decoder, which interprets and reacts to information by sending signals to others sense 🤔
== Since the brain is a decoder and programable organ that had to be designed for what it can do Mr.@@Donkichoff . Who then is the designer of our brain? It didn't just happen from dirt wouldn't you agree since it is an organic computer using complex formulaic chemical equations that is right now allowing you to think giving you the abilities for thoughts and consciousness etc... Only DESIGN, can account for the first cause singularity bringing the universe into existence and everything else in it. Revelation 4 : 11 “You are worthy, Jehovah our God, to receive the glory+ and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they came into existence and were created.” ====
@@Donkichoff Actually neuroscience suggests the opposite, that we get stimuli from our senses that the brain receives and what we experience is a mixture of reality and hallucination. Take for example the blind spot in our eyes where the retina connects to the optic nerve, if you place a dot on a piece of paper and position it perfectly then the dot will vanish and be replaced by blank paper. Now, you literally can't see anything in that area yet your mind creates a hallucination to complete the image. This is also how night terrors work exceot that what you experience is less sensory and more hallucination like we see in this short film.
This made me think of the James Woods movie Videodrome by David Cronenberg, when video movies and TV were the devices to transport people into horror dimension realms
Awesome movie.
Indeed!
When you go to the the school of "What does this button do?".
that's a story of my taste. I can think about it till I fall asleep. true horror. great!
That was entirely freaky. Excellent piece of work!
They could have just order pizza if they were hungry 😂
My kinda Sci Fi. Loved it!
Fantastic movie. Love a bit of eldritch terror!! Thank you!!!
Viscerally horrifying. Opening the door to the unknown can bring untold terrors. Good film.
Least it wasn't a scammer email.
That was AWESOME.
🙉🙈🙊
Its a frequency strong enough to create matter and alternate realities.
This one is really good. The acting is fine, the atmosphere and sound design too. Not quite sure of the message though.. but maybe it's just an artistic expressive piece :)
Good stuff, anywasy 👍

How lucky I am to have found this channel. Just wow!
Well done,more please.
I’d find another travel agency.
Bro just received the promo album of Metatron Omega
Excellent 🤩
WOW! JUST FUCKING WOW! PHENOMINAL! BRILLIANT IN EVERY WAY WHEN IT COMES TO MOVIE MAKING!
Wonderful syfi video Thanks!
That was really trippy! I love the visuals!
The only issue I have with DUST contributions is they NEVER end the story. NEVER! It's shite storytelling is what it is. It's always all about the cool "visual" effects. Tell a good story that has a beginning, a middle, and A FUCKING END!!
Very interesting plot, and optimally done! Also amazing effects... would like to see a full movie !
outstanding! i would like a tidy ending on some of these tho.
And this children, is why you never click on strange attachments you get in email- don't expect Kaspersky AV to protect you from Eldritch Elder Gods ¬_¬
Ok, that was terrifying and amazing
It's the Vogons, here for the hyperspace bypass construction.
Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturitions are to me,
As plurdled gabbleblotchits,
On a lurgid bee,
That mordiously hath blurted out,
Its earted jurtles,
Into a rancid festering confectious organ squealer.
Now, the jurpling slayjid agrocrustles,
Are slurping hagrilly up the axlegrurts,
And living glupules frart and slipulate,
Like jowling meated liverslime,
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turling dromes,
And hooptiously drangle me,
With crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or else I shall rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,
See if I don't.
@@ChuckieFinzter : ah, the melodious glory of Vogon poetry!
@@ChuckieFinzter MAKE IT STOP!
Why does the txt file contain an image (scanned text)?!
It's Encrytped :D - also...Sci-Fi!
Strange story, but interesting :)
There is something else in that dark forest...
They say when the Forest goes Quite, the Predators are close by
Yeah. The pale green pants.
The first minute is how I envisioned being inside a computer like Tron (1980)
I got the sense that @Potellion was setting up the big picture that the universe is a simulation, and we went through a matrix of infinite variations of reality before the signal zeroed in on a particular time frame of Earth. Would be interesting to hear his take!
The concept was to awesome for where it went.
Ля, чувак на перепутье добровольно вышел, это жестко.
The intro looks a classic Amiga demon with the tunnel effect.😮
I think I can speak for everyone here after watching this by saying... Huh?? 😂
Also I will believe in sound waves that grant Teleportation powers before I believe and decent IT guy would ever open a mysterious email and download the attachment! 😂
Very nicely done…
Wow!!
Not bad, but being honest and very discerning, when are you going to finish this?
Love all the spoilers in the comments who need to reveal all the surprises and half the story !
They just love taking all the suspense away from any viewer who reads comments ! 😱😱😱
he is wearing all time the headhpones . think his ears are a cruel bunch of bakteria and fungi resting in his ears.
Food for a pre-quel
Great short very creative

Cool...loved it.
Good beginning. HPL would be pleased to see it if... it was finished somehow! To start a good story is just a half of work!
ET learned how to email 😂
big creature just wanted to kiss
brilliant
Thanks
Не повезло,но он знал на что шел связавшись с этим.
Yo, drugs will always get you in the end.
First 2 minutes are like: We buy EVERYTHING from Envato market that is tagged Sci-Fi
I see what you did there. Envato indeed!
