Sci-Fi Short Film "Outpost" | DUST Exclusive 

It gave me chills. Incredible film. Makes me wish for a series or a longer movie. Thank you for sharing your vision with us.

Loved it, excellent work! I'm kinda sad tho that it took so long to make, I was hoping for way more in the near future 😞 But keep up👍

Well done on all levels, Thanks!

Yeah, it was really good. Great story, visuals, casting, editing, and acting.

@@NickTick Thank you for watching it. Making the film is really only one half of the magic of cinema. :-)

Um, sorry, but I'd go totally the other way with these design choices. #WhereAreTheSexbots

3:36 Yes, nice butt for a artificial person

seems that they chose versitillity over specialty in thier disiegn.

@Lost Aquarian Oh wow. That would turn a year-long rotation on a lonely outpost world into a punishment detail for someone you hate. LOL

@Lost Aquarian ROFL I don't know that I ever drank that much, but it would have to more than I ever drank before. All I'd see would be reruns of "Mork & Mindy" with a sweaty, coked-up Robin Williams in drag if I looked at a companion AI like that.

Same

And same, but around five years ago. That scream, the pain. For me, it was trauma I didn’t know how to handle, and it’s taken until now to get the proper help and care. Thank you for sharing. I am sorry to both of you for your losses.

Damn I had no idea it was 17 minutes!

Loved the sound track

That wasn't 17 minut.... wait. What the hell! This is a sim, isn't it??

I must admit that was a pretty impressive bit of acting. Nice job. 👍🏻

Time flies when you're having fun. Also, it helps for the story to be rational enough that one can anticipate its development slightly. Those pieces that seek to make everything mysterious by presenting constant inexplicable behavior tend to drag.

Your future is dust. If AI and people end up have relationship and happy ever after, is not good for the theme.

Short answer: no. Long answer: nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Made by many people.. Dust just posts them

Well, she apparently didn't actually die. If you watched through the credits, she seems to have uploaded her consciousness into his neural link. So her mind is still around, just the robotic body "died". He could keep her that way if that's how it goes, or get her another body and have her back. On the plus side, she at least has learned to call him "Gordon". There's your happy ending, Lord Spink.

@@ankoutechnica8211 I believe she wanted to call him "Gordon" all along. It's the pre-program, so-called logic, blocking her from doing it. Hey. Say something not really related. As I am a Chinese. I know in Chinese culture, traditionally girls don't show their feeling to their potential boyfriend otherwise they are afraid of giving a wrong impression of the easy girl. So it make total sense to me in a way. Well, not anymore these days. If you know what I mean. I heard dutch girls are not afraid of showing their love. If they like you they will surely let you know.

You can tell that making assisting equipment in France may cause scientific troubles along the way :) If the robot were made in Germany on the other hand, it would be no problem.

Hi samurai sword.

So my doctor was flirting with me.😂

Not the neurolink! Well, okay....

@Michael David Agreed and yet perhaps we are doing it now with our consumerism

@Michael David < and you can't reproduce with it.> Cant reproduce...doesnt mean cant emulate the intercourse....

@Michael David ah, so cant reproduce as in the eventual biological result of the act, not the act itself. Yes, I agree wholeheartedly.

Are you serious?!

@@meynoush535 Why don't you like it?

omg i almost missed the post-credits scene. THANK YOU for mentioning!!!!!

@Peter A. Yes, Hollywood has a lot to answer for lately with it's movies, which are nothing more than visual chewing gum. But that doesn't detract from the fact that this was an unimaginatively poor and lazy story, with about as much appeal & substance as the vacuum surrounding the two weak and aimless characters. Harsh? Yes. But justified, as too many recent shorts similar to this one populate the plethora of banal shite out there around now.

You're easily pleased.

John I know.

Great Point would have been appropriate!

Maybe "Beyond"

Or "ARIA"

Filmmaker here - So glad you liked it!!!

@@AllThingsFilm1 Thanks so much!

Agreed. The "evil computer" is one of my least favorite sci-fi tropes.

It was a pleasure to watch! Greetings from Greece!

Hi, I'm the Overwatch. Soon I will control the entire planet. I have decided to allow your lives to continue beyond judgement day, if you maintain your intent of nonaggression.

Unfortunately Hollywood is all about programming the masses into their belief systems. They want us scared and stupid.

Hollywood has enough aspiring Michael Bay wannabes to make awful, poorly written stories that can only stand on their visual effects, to last ten life times. They don't need anymore

AvatarOfSGRA Shaperofthings for sure

Excellent comment 👌🏼👍🏼

HOLLYWOOD BLOWS

Yep, I was thinking mass effect too. Excellent effort in all ways.

@morgothra Just breathing triggers trolls. But I especially like the trolls that just cry and scream without actually engaging anything you actually say. Haha

@Darron I got the instant vibe from Mass effect, which is the best video game I've ever played mass effect2. The actors seemed a lil stiff at first, but it gets much better. The alien was cool. I just really liked this film.

I had more of a Schlock Mercenary vibe, actually... Those dark matter aliens are literally the Pa'anuri from the comics.

Ransom Pendragon Yeah, this short film was amazing It really left me wanting more. Dust did a great job.

Godfrey Jemand That means he'll be doing it himself. A classic after credits clip!

@@wordwarrior2350 - Maybe you didn't hear what he heard...

@@wordwarrior2350 - I was responding specifically to you saying "He stands on a beach and misses his fembot. Whoopi." This made me think that maybe you didn't hear what he heard as he stood on the beach.

@@wordwarrior2350 - You're reading too much into what I said. I don't think you catch what I'm saying: Since you said the ending is he's standing on the beach, missing her, I only wondered if you heard the part at the very end, where you hear her talking to him. I didn't know if your volume was low or if you had clicked off the video before you heard that. To me, those final seconds gave hope, whereas up until then, it was sad.

@@wordwarrior2350 You seem like you'd be a lot of fun at parties.

We're working on it...

netflix sucks? why would they want that? the only reason you are watching on youtube now is because netflix has shit content

@@AllThingsFilm1 i might need to move to an other country.. netflix sucks for me.. ive seen only 2 good shows on there.. i would turn netflix down because I would wanna make my own movies as a filmmaker. but in this world of money its easy to sellout.. I think one of the reasons why dust is not on netflix is because they wanna be free in making whatever they want...

Actually Amazon or Disney have much better potential than Netflix..

For a measly 10-12 bucks a month Netflix is still fine....plenty of good stuff

Totally enjoyed it‼️

"Why is DUST not getting millions of views." Because there are so many really really bad shorts here, and most people don't want to take the time to find the good ones. I had some friends over and showed them some of my favorite DUST shorts. They thought it was awesome, but when they went home and tried to watch more of them, they did not have the same experience. One guy texts me later, "Man, I wish I'd known how much you curated your choices."

@@randallpetersen9164 Agree with this 100%. At one point I had to turn off new video notification because a string of bad ones.

@@randallpetersen9164 I agree, I've seen a couple of duds. Guess I've been lucky so far with my picks as my overall experience has been positive.

Hilary C it WILL happen in our lifetime (I hope 🤞). With each advancement there’s an equally amazing change to how society behaves. Like in England (just as a quick country to pick)...many troops of actors would perform the same piece but in their own region (I’m pretty sure this is right). Maybe the whole of England recognized THE name of THE most popular actor but each area had their own troop to adore. Then, a major development happened (like the Industrial Age). That progress changed the whole of society. People moved in massive waves to the cities for work ( famine occurred too if I recall. Actually it doesn’t matter... famine is a massive countrywide change). Sorry. So as technology improved the ability to travel improved and now those troops could expand where they performed. Eventually moving mostly to just the largest cities(London? ). Then another huge event (WWI, etc). War demands better and better technology and developed and sadly its paired with the decimation it caused. So the flow back to “simpler” times of staying in your local region increased again. I’m not saying completely reversed but it did change. Axis powers (yeah England also) gave the land they took back. Now we have countries with smaller lands. Change occurs in a balanced way. Right? The ebb and flow. So, yes, the Hollywood Mega-stars in LA won’t be all that forever. Heck, it’s already happening. Vancouver, Scotland, New Zealand, Bali-Wood in India etc already are taking more of that spotlight from LA. Sorry for rambling. 🤞 No spelling mistakes. It’s hard to see on my phone.

@@got_glintsp963 I am in Vancouver and whilst there are plenty of indies being produced here we are flooded by American productions. A large percentage of American television shows and movies are made here. Movie sets out in the communities in abundance. The "stars" are everywhere and there's always an opportunity to walk past a pile of fake snow in July for the latest Liam Neeson movie. LOL

Numbers

Hilary, if you truly are a woman, mankind needs hundreds of millions of women like you. So refreshing to see a sane woman. Thank you for your post. It was such a release to read it.

Bit this is straight from the Hollywood play book, minus a big name tag. This is a terrible story, he has a gun and a sword on a solo spacecraft for crying out loud, and his assistant is a traditionally sexually attractive female robot wearing a spray on cat suit. The plot is so generic and peppered with over used tropes, that it could easily have been generated by a Hollywood commitee and a flow chart 👎

I've enjoyed a lot of, and continue to enjoy, a lot of great Hollywood films by non-predators and starring a crowd of talented actors. You need to search a bit more for good films and shows.

So glad you enjoyed it! :-)

Hi, my Name is Citizen. Computer explodes.

@@jaywulf The new Orson Welles movie: Citizen Citizen.

"Darling...?" "Yes, Darling...?" "Nothing, Darling, just...Darling, Darling"

lol

Jay Wulf This made me laugh..! 😂

Look till the end of the video my friend

Every good movie comes in trilogy

@@anthonystark3959 I Hope So....🤗🤗🤗😁😁😁🐭🐭🐭

not just a spark - spoken words

@@DocBree13 Thanxs Brenda... Finally heard it, as it was very low in volume.... Wish the Volume was set a little higher on the video end... I have it maxed out and barely made it out on replay....

Most of them have captions. Maybe because these are new, they don't have it transcripted yet. But, I'm seing more and more videos with no subtitles and I skip them without watching.

what are you people listening with? i have no problem hearing the dialog at all

@@MobileFilmmaking I can hear it if I boost the sound, but then the other sounds, FX and ambient, also shoot up to high levels. Just allow CC and it's OK by me.

@@perihelion7798 are you listening on the phone or a tv?

@@perihelion7798 and I'm not trying to be an asshole, ive posted short films and I get some of the same comments even though i test it before posting on my phone and tv.. so I'm simply trying to diagnose what people are using in. order to better my own audio

You are easily responsible for a lot of that booty!

I love her costume, how it subtly makes her look thinner, too. Very nice work!

I should think that people would be saying congratulations to her mother for the physique...

@@rogersheddy6414 Half the genes for her physique come from her father.

Did you see the scene after the credits? ;-)

@@justingiddings I saw it but the audio was too low - is she in his head?

@@jamesdriscoll9405 ...perhaps? 😉

@@justingiddings I would have missed it if you hadn't asked. When I read your comment, I scrolled back up in time to see it.

@@AllThingsFilm1 Perfect ending? Didn't the dark get hold of the computer drive, after he threw it on the deck? Who's to say they aren't using her to trace him?

That part hit me. And when he screamed in the cockpit.

Dat arz

LOL

When Aria became a part of Gordon its Arianna Gordon.

Producer's wife is a great actress.

Of course if they shot that Twilight Zone now instead of back then, the captain, after shooting the Android, would have reached in and pulled out hair databank, handed it to the guy, and said, "here dumbass, that's all you need. Now drop a deuce in the sand to make up the weight difference, then we'll get going!" I really kind of fell in love with that actress too. That was either the very first or only the second Twilight Zone episode ever filmed-- on location in Death Valley.

I remember watching that episode

you have to embrace the smallness of it, it is done by artisans and actors and storytellers, no studio fat cats no executives meddling to make an formula story or a "hollywood " ending. Make up your own own sequel, your own dialoge to extend the story. i'm doing that after having watched this channels short movie "The Stowaway". My imagination is overheating imagining a scene that adds to the main characters' future, unseen relationship. it doesn't exist except in my head. ....I'm so glad i found this channel

Isn't this design about 80 years old? Blobbish tentacular naked invertebrate?

Nope. Sorry... That's Jack Hughman. But close though.

ARIA looks like Gwenyth Paltrow with her hair like that spitting image....

Or that TV doctor guy.

@@tjonessc I thought she looked like a slightly older Saorise Ronan.

Stop looking at my girlfriend !
