Sci-Fi Short Film Subject 19 - DUST
video description
Beware of spoilers!
Subject 19 by Adam Hoelzel\r
Plot: short short about scientist struggling with her own project and risking her life for it\r
Negatives: I have found none; maybe: 1) just only technical thing: please provide subtitles as the important parts are not easy to understand people not so skilled in english; 2) what about that A can teleportation at 6: 50: - )\r
Positives: 1) even if the movie is really short and it is rather one act play then a movie with broader story to tell, we are presented by everything we need enough background info, exposition, plot, finale, also motives of characters, their argument; 2) nice contrast between the action and the music and emotional involvement of characters (a bit like certain scenes from Brazil); 3) I liked the acting and setting\r
Personal note: I wonder if she tried it with mice first\r
Summary: Example that even 8 minutes can be enough for a good short!

This is far beyond less than what we've grown to expect from DUST! This was totally a POS piece, an utter waste of the medium used to make it even. A pointless video that has no merit, no creation of bounds between characters, no emotion, nothing even remotely human. This is what I'd expect if a computer wrote a film project. There was/is nothing worthy of watching in this horrible video. I'm extremely disappointed in DUST and to whomever created this film, I strongly suggest that you go back to the very beginning of your career in film and demand any money you wasted in learning your supposed art, you have utterly and totally failed!

Yep, you can see she knows what she's doing! First she stands there, just melting some solder with her soldering iron, inhaling all that Acetones, Methyl Alcohol, Formaldehyde, Carbon Dioxide, Diterpene Acid, Carbon Monoxide and Isopropanol Alcohol vapour like it's the healthiest thing on Earth. Then she grinds the crap out of a wifi/bluetooth module, for some unknown reason. Nvm the movie, that girl has a real life death wish.

6: 22 - There are SO many problems with this idea that it should be discarded from any sci-fi. Which is the time frame of the air Is it a bubble Should she suffocate What about the acceleration forces she is submitting herself to She moved object - no shockwave
End - Yes, and the moral story of the other 18 is quite debatable.
Thumbs down.

Anyone else notice the mistake
When she looks back while she is by bucket B while holding Bucket A. You can see Bucket A is still there while the ball is still in the air. Mistake in the shooting. I notice things like this from my time working in film. I have an eye for these things so I've been told
P s Love these Dust productions though!

This film is amazing! Simple but effective! 3 characters, 2 scenes but a captivating story that was so well done and probably cost less than an xbox to make. Films like this are proof of what you can do on a micro budget! Hats off!

Time and inertia slowing or cancelling. On the battlefield, this would be a game changer! Dangerous experiments would also benefit from this technology. You might just be able to outrun the blast wave of an explosion.

I'm impressed with how much can be done with shoestring budgets. This is a great example of great acting script and camera angles makes 2 people watchable for 8 minutes and keeping us at the edge of our seats. Hollywood. take notes

Continuity error. When she is looking back at her co-worker, the cannister is still on the pedestal, but she is already holding it, then she walks back over and replaces the cannister before resuming normal time.

Wait, I think I just noticed a mistake in the movie.
At 6: 43, she is supposed to have can A in her hands. But, if you look closely, it’s still siting next to the metronome!

What dimwit lights up a cigarette in a lab where pulmonary function is being stress tested
More realism in science experiment films would be greatly appreciated.

What about air resistance, the forces acting and reacting on the body, flow of air in and out of the lungs, rate of O2 and CO2 exchange in the lungs, blood flowrate

Not all of us viewers are native in English. A subtitle, even auto-generated, would help me a lot to understand what's going on.

She mentioned they work for DARPA, so it's not like everyone involved including the test subjects wasn't already in the killin' buisness.
