Sci-Fi Short Film Animal - DUST
video description
Beware of spoilers!
Animal by Fabrice Le Nezet\r
Plot: environmental pollution topic from original perspective\r
Negatives: I have found none\r
Positives: 1) setting outside the western world; 2) storytelling using dialogues same as just exposition and action and with good gradation and good combination of action scenes and calm scenes; 3) some scenes had very good atmosphere (preparing for the battle, Marcel walking in corridors)\r
Personal note: I like the unification of quite new topics like environmental pollution and new species with local culture and its traditional aspects. Definitely one of my favourite shorts!
Summary: Original story worth of watching and liking; please, more of it!

Even though there was a give away as to what the Animal was, I was still blown away by it and the level artwork about it seeming perfectly natural both in the subtlety of the CGFX (which by and large is heavily overdone and relied upon in this era's cinema) and how practically it fit in this story. I didn't have to think about suspending disbelief. Great story, great acting, perfect amount and style of FX (practical and CG) and great editing as the crux and outcome of the story was not lost within any of these. I highly recommend for horror, science fiction, science fantasy, and fantasy 'proper' fans and just as importantly, students of CG as, in my opinion, this is How to do CG the Right Way.

Am I supposed to feel empathy for the idiot kid who thought it would be a good idea crawling under something too heavy for kids to hold
Am I supposed to feel empathy for the adult who's brain is still in the mindset of a child, trying to make a living by gambling on cockfights
The cinematography was good as always, but I am not sure about that story.

Remarkably well done. The worms were the perfect metaphor for the individual human they represented. Interesting camera work, catching the ambiance of the circumstance, and well acted.
This is what DUST is all about, providing a platform for exceptional quality productions with unique stories that are well acted, and technically appealing.

A very original story, very well acted and outside of the realm of what one would normally expect. Very surprising. A full story with a beginning and an end which however does leave you with wanting more. I enjoyed this very much. No alien animals were hurt during the making of this movie: -)

I was distracted and missed some dialog the first time through and couldn't make heads or tales of it. Second viewing I realized I missed a lot more than I thought. This was very good. The one part I'm not sure I understood was the IV. Was the noodle blood doping

Uhm, I liked it and gather that in a dystopian future when all the roosters and dogs have been killed off man has resorted to the mutated wildlife, that was caused by his pollution, to satisfy his bloodlust Or did I miss something

Karl hopes to settle a score with Marcel at a cock fight, where cocks are replaced with mutated animals from the radioactive area, where their friendship ended decades earlier.

Great. I'm guessing West Africa. So-oo authentic. Fantastic camera work to tell the story visually. Just don't get the boys sub-plot and those flashbacks with the floating plastic tadpoles. Or whatever they were

What an original take on the environment.
Loved it. Such a short film but tells a big story.
Forget chicken fighting - we got evolving devolved tentacle lamprey things.

I'm a huge DUST fan and rate almost all of them highly. This one was one of the few I could do without. It was disturbing in so many ways and a bit racist I feel.

These fights are cruel, but it was nice to see parts of Africa that are not tribal or village like. Great short, non the less.

Anyone fighting any creatures are trash. I hate the story, the actors and the persons who created it. I wish death upon them all.
