Equilibrium - Sci Fi short film 

Wow so this got a lot of views in a short time and after reading all the comments i feel like i have to clear some things up. This short film was made in a month as a final project at my art school. I am in no way claiming to be an amazing storyteller, director or cinematographer. Just a concept artist who really likes world building and making dark and dreary horror. This short was mainly a way to test my skills in both concept art and 3d as I picked up 3d art 2 years ago and fell in love with it. Im glad that i at least made an interesting enough world for a lot of you to debate its inn’s and out’s, even if the plot leaves a lot up for interpretation. Thank you so much for watching it and there will be more!

Fascinating and many things to explore. Thank you and best with your endeavours onwards 👏👏👏🙏

If that wasn't a Teaser Trailer , I don't know What it was . Great concept I have to say . Edgy and well done .

Great job on your video. I couldn’t’t stop watching even for a second. Super story and videography. Keep up the good work. I hope to see more of your work in the future.

Very nicely done and very provocative, especially for a student film. Thank you for spending the time. Not sure about the capitalism fault-finding; monopolies formed tend to erode from quick-thinking competition, obsolence, or simple ineptness from within. In the extreme, taking from the poor to enrich the wealthy can devalue (and devour) the value of the super-wealthy; however, not all wealthy people are fixated on growth. Looking forward to more of your creative works.

Not sure why the artist's comment is something of a disclaimer or apology: this would have made the top 10% list if it had been published on DUST. Nice work!

Loved the beginning!!

Intriguing. Please continue to work on your craft because you have a vivid imagination.

I have an issue with the premise, if the moon had been torn apart there would be no one left alive on earth for the rest of the scenario, otherwise a fine effort

nice, but missing a true end

Loved it, I’m in! Let’s pick up the pilot, order 13 weeks and make a show. Have your people call my people we’ll do lunch & a deal.

Brilliant Short! I mean it - this was quite a creative achievement - I mean the story is dense, the images spellbinding, the characters odd and the *feeling* in this short is a feeling I never have experienced before - something entirely new to me! It's something about the sense of anarchy in the air in this one - long opening description of what happened to this world - that was a great idea to me - *not just* being visual this time (!) and it just continued after that sequence too! One started to think about what one saw and felt. Great visual arts achievement too - really great realism to the art even if it was quite otherworldly at the same time! We need more stories like this one - when one can start to think about the *creative* side of things - I have seen a few shorts made on RU-vid with great creativity at display - this was one of those! Sadly not many shorts have this quality... Conveying an odd feeling... Great short! If you feel like it check out my own computer animated short "Alien Forever" about a lone woman confronting an international war scenario in the future and learning odd things on the way. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-9p9wMVGhBKE.html Enjoy!

Not bad, kept my imagination filling in the voids. For instance; when it struck the moon with a glancing blow to crack itself open to use the heat of the entry into the atmosphere for a incubation period as the crystals fell to earth.

🟦 (Just-after 9:36): I couldn't understand even ONE WORD of what was said just before the car exploded!.... so I don't know whether it came from the Car or from the PA on some Security-System.

This film had only a beginning, no middle or end

At first I was like, "Wait, an early 2002's Equilibrium w/Christian Bale teaser?" Then I saw it was a short which begged the question, "Wouldn't the Moon's destruction have been a civilization-ending disaster?" Finally I saw it as a well-produced but rather derivative sci-fi short w/potential for something more...if not for the moon premise.

Good Stuff!!

So talented Kari

So when do we get to see the full length feature film version? 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Reminds me of the biological convergence process in scifi movie Annihilation (2018)

OMG, where is the story? Nice work with graphics, I guess, but without a clear story line--nothing matters. Where is the resolution?

😊

It's hard coming up with film titles, but it's probably best not to pick a title of a film that already exists in the same (Sci Fi) genre.

Er no, didn't blow up my skirts.

More! Please!

Ooh Lovecraftian

All this cartoon needs is Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck.

Well look another depressing hopeless story plot by DUST. I guess trying to write and produce something happy and hopeful is just too much hard work.

Sparks fly][×][

Predictive programing? At least the atmosphere is good. Subscribed today. Looking forward to seeing more.

Graphics are the best but the story is a very dark one.

Well, I enjoyed it. I enjoyed the narration, the story line and lastly, the lack of resolution. The canned story lines Marvel serves up and everyone else for that matter these days, wrap them up with a bow. Life doesn’t work that way. Anyway, great work, keep it up and they’ll only get better. I vote you continue THIS story line and see where you can take it.

nice tuto, I had the sa issue

Didn't like, too short, no conclusion.. was nicely done thou. If this were just the trailer, then i understand!

Nice visual 2:38

One big constructive critique, the bits of blackout blankness were very jarring. Supposed to indicate passage of time?

The name of the filmmaker itself is a tongue twister 🤣

Narrative line was much too choppy; following it was like looking at a series of snapshots about some huge disaster--and this is a video! Gave me a headache.

Sparkly][I][

Loved it. When is part 2?

Resolution could improve. This basically a narrative without clarity

Reminds me a bit of Blade Runner

. With all these Non-terminating chapters, it's getting harder and harder to follow them, the numbers are growing, and the continuation too far apart. Getting bored in the meantime, waiting for the continuation and maybe disappointment when they never come at all... .

The moon on cronos

Huh?!

You don't need capitalism for people to be greedy. They'll find another way to take what they want.

Fortsetzung !? 🤔

Well the storyline was good the visuals ,well not so much,

This short story has potential but, doesn't quite deliver anything complete. I like the idea of it, the animation & even the robotic voice narration. However, in the end, I'm just not sure where it was going or what they're trying to convey. 3 out of 5.

เดวิดเพื้อนสันพัดทะนาอานานิมดาวดวงสักชวน.1สะตราวัดผมไปได้ดว้ยนะ.แอลีสอด.

Intro was 7 mins long..... Nothing happened in the movie to do with the intro. Really couldn't hear the robot voice telling the story.

Or Titan

Frankly I so sick of the un-endings of "Dust". Life's crises do most often have resolutions!

c.g shit !

Nah, fam, you should have just stuck with the anomoly. The moon was superfluous and totally undermines the plot., as even a damaged moon would affect the tilt of earth's axis. No tilt would mean our seasons would never change, which, as best, would be limited to affecting crop growth, for instance, as they could only possibly be grown on one side of the planet. Maybe a bonus for third world countries, having control of the world's food supplies. An erratic tilt could easily result in permanent drought or another ice age for the entire planet...not exactly conducive conditions for a virus to thrive, if there are no hosts. The moon plays a far greater role for life on earth than most folk realise.

Its a video game movie 😢 well ot feels like a cut scene movie 😞 very good game graphics but very very boring

Oooooh, very nice..very very nice..

I actually like those spoilers, but without even a full episode, they tend to be disappointing. The story here is nothing out of the ordinary, and the animation and graphics could surely be improved a bit. It's more like a game trailer. But who knows, maybe this could develop into something amazing when done the right way.

What this could have been with a bigger budget, the movie would be timeless, great story, you can tell you did some research, 10/10 for me five stars 🌟 ✨️✨️✨️✨️

interesting work. my only comment would be that the whole "bad capitalism" trope is kind of funny when you realize that the software you used on the computer that rendered the software in the comfortable home you probably sat in to render this and then publish it out to the world was ALL due to capitalism.

Agreed friend. Capitalism is a terrible way to run an economy. But it is the best we have discovered so far.

Thee narrator is a distraction. I'm sorry; I didn't finish watching the entire video.

Has potential for a story.

instead of a regular ...meh...this one gets....MEH....if you have trouble falling asleep this would make it happen no problem

I got off soon after the first warning: "Little did we know that the void was staring back. We called it 'the anomaly.’" Can you not tell the logical failure, you’re making? You usually don’t label things, if you don’t know they exist, do you?

Your computer narrator is a bit special needs. In this age having a computer narration, this should never be this bad, especially in a sci-fi project.

more anti capitalism propaganda. communism and socialism are working so well.

Don’t bother. 100% crap. Spielberg still has nothing to worry about.

Too disjointed. Too hard to understand.

Way too disjointed, and basically not much of a story 👎

These shorts are terrible

Could I please have the last ten minutes of my life back?

the speech systhesisi is AWEFUL - this is NOT worth watching

Waste of time.

I hope you got a passing grade on your school project. Somehow I don't think so.

🟦 I'm uncertain as to what conclusion you were go'n-after here.
