Closed Captioning would have been helpful for those of us with hearing impairment.

@TheJacklwilliams Год назад

More properly adjusted audio levels would’ve been appropriate. That’s the only criticism I have of this Other than that, GREAT FILM. Edited to add: Closed captioning should always be available.

@lvsbigbears Год назад

I could not hear a word from his headphone-

@lisandro3614 Год назад

Definitely. Needs subtitles.

@edyak6280 Год назад

A classic twist, expertly hidden. Congratulations to all involved.

@stevevet3652 Год назад

Cool short film. Acting was good, cinema good, sound track good, story line good. My only complaint, is the audio. Tell Mr. Hemming that he needs to balance the background audio with the foreground audio so the audience can hear whoever is speaking in the ear piece.

@noeraldinkabam Год назад

I’ll wait for the subtitles. It’s like a foreign language every second word.

@DScot60xxx Год назад

Me too. I look forward to viewing this when I can follow the dialogue.

@riderinsanjose337 Год назад

Please turn the 'music' up more so it can completely drown out the dialogue.

Sadly without subtitles. :( It looks really good. I wish I knew what they were saying. Please consider your audience members who are hard of hearing. RU-vid will automatically subtitle if you let it.

@thaska6106 Год назад

Congratulations to Zach Ramelan, to Neal Schneider, to Alexander Oliver and to Jaspreet Saund. The tension increases as the short film progresses. The music and scenery are adequate. The atmosphere is gloomy and cold, the atmosphere is unbreathable. The communications between Chase and Jenifer reflect how what is supposed to be a guiding tool can be a submission control tool. Both play the role divinely, communications between the two can become overwhelming. Wishing the viewer that the Freelancer focuses on what is really important. I agree! great performance LEE LAWSON.

I had no difficulty hearing and understanding the actors. I'm not sure if other people were listening on phones or other devices with limited-range speakers.

@Fitzwalrus06 Год назад

I was watching on my phone and had no difficulty understanding what was being said, and I'm dealing with 70-year-old hearing too. Lighting WAS a bit dark (it's DUST, so everything is going to be dark, depressing and dystopian anyway) but not so much that the action couldn't be followed.

@SteilLaw Год назад

Bad sound. Unclear speach. No subtitles. 3 minutes was plenty for me...

@SynthoidSounds Год назад

That was a twisted ending. Very well done, but the audio was a bit hard to hear. I got the general gist of the concept, but some of the interactive conversation with corporate was lost in the audio. But as for him trying to do the right thing, only to get busted for daring to go outside approved protocol, with this woman agent acting ill just to entrap him, yeah, I could see that happening, in a not too distant future (current day China comes to mind).

@JonathanFrost Год назад

@faustocardy5018 Год назад

I was trying to put the CC option cuz they speak a bit too fast using terms I don't comprehend, specifically when she dropped the act and explained what happened. So what did she say? I tried to rewatch it and put the volume up but is hard to understand some bits and pieces.

@ericchild8845 Год назад

Wow, super creepy. Is this our future with Healthcare being a for profit business? Brings up a lot of disturbing issues and questions. Very very well done and relevant to everyone’s reality, unless you live in a non democratic society which means you are lucky if you get any kinda healthcare at all.

@bridgetstoli2347 Год назад

Why does Dust have such a downer on subtitles/captions? Even the RU-vid auto-generated captions would be better than this. I stopped watching four minutes in because I had failed to understand most of the dialogue so far. Please understand that not everyone has perfect ears.

@williamboston309 Год назад

No, the reason there are no subtitles is because youtube can't automatically generate them when the sound is so horrible crappy and the dialogue is incomprehensible! Very bad production. Not worth bothering trying to figure out what they are saying. It's a failure. And filmed with nil lighting and bad low-quality camera ... dark grainy video which makes it difficult to see anything clearly. Bad.

@jimpatterson5524 Год назад

My ears are far less than perfect. I could mostly understand the young man, the girl might as well have been mumbling a foreign language. I don't doubt that her elocution is fine, but when the receiving equipment has over 70 years of wear and tear, it does make a difference. I really do count on subtitles as a literal crutch to my hearing.
