Sci-Fi Short Film: Ripple Effect - DUST

video description

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Celebrate 5 years of DUST by exploring the DUST multiverse ad-free on our App: In a not so distant future- a coalition of the old earth’s nations have sought and claimed the discovery of a new planet Gaia as the human race’s last hope for survival. However, when the human settlements rolled in, what awaited them was neither discovery nor pioneering but colonization and war against the planet’s original inhabitants. With an increasingly militaristic government that demands the settlers’ sacrifice for the good of all, one family is torn apart when the eldest daughter, Ara, questions who the real bad guys are. At a time where mass think seems to be the safest option, Ripple Effect asks us if we’re brave enough to go against the grain, and at what cost Ripple Effect by Hannah Bang and Margo E.

i hope i don't come out offensive.
the LED screen thing sounds like a great idea, i didn't even noticed it!
but i did notice the light difference between the actors skin and the surrounding environment.
but let me also say that i would not have done it better!
the movie itself is awesome!
hope my constructive criticism comes out to you guys and women the best way
so you people improve into Grade A movie groups
keep it up!

Wow. As an oldest sibling, this made me cry. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for my siblings. Including stand up to my parents. It’s hard to do because I love them, but it’s worth it for my little brothers and sisters. I’ve never regretted it. Something about seeing her dead. I don’t know. That’s what it brought to mind for me. I’ve never been a younger sibling so I guess hearing it from that perspective, just made me feel.

Did it for me.
Seven minutes of engaging, thought provoking entertainment, with a simple plotline holding centre stage, instead of looking like an afterthought in an overblown, poorly contructed mess of blinding lights and ear shattering noise.
Well done to everyone involved.

I've been watching A LOT of these DUST shorts and this is the first time I am saying that THIS SHOULD BE MADE INTO A FEATURE FILM or SERIES! Not just the story, but the beautiful set design, pictures, lighting, colors, etc. Beautiful and interesting! MORE PLEASE

Oh anti-war sentiments while China carries out genocide against the Uyghur, Tibet and Hong Kong, threatens Australia with preemptive nuclear strike, and swallows the entire South China Sea. Har Har Har. MAKE A MOVIE THAT SPEAKS MANDARIN for a better review.
reply

I must agree with many of the comments here. Great short - exploring character interaction and development. This would make an awesome series (backing up chronologically to lay some groundwork, with this episode coming later in the series)

War is driven by defense contractors whose goal is profit.
Defense contractor lobbyists fund politicians, politicians approve war funds, war material is consumed, contractors profit, war may end, , new wars are needed. Cycle repeats.

reply

Production values are high and the actors are on point, but the video suffers from not having enough of a backstory for continuity.
Btw, exactly what is it that killed her sister and what was that contraption on her head (5: 50.

Good film. Nothing ever changes. Just need some fashion futures, white shirt and striped tie STILL in 2087 And that truck the collectors were using, key start, choke knob
The company I worked for had that in NINETEEN 87.

reply

The hedonic treadmill wouldn't be a problem if unity was community. This video's not about unions and communism, i think, but if they're fighting against machines with machines that were people it would make sense
reply

great story, well-executed. Shame the poster image for the movie blows the whole final reveal. Knew the moment the movie opened with the elder daughter that she ended up dead and 'Borged' at some point.
reply

Thank you for watching our short film! Fun Fact. The entirety of the short was shot in front of LED screens, no green screen! Happy to answer any questions about the story or the making of: )
reply

The longer a war goes on, the easier it is to forget what peace felt like.
To some, anger is like old leather, after varying individual periods of time it begins to feel comfortable.

reply

Kinda like the world now days. Comply with our lies or loose everything. Forget experts out there telling the truth. Follow our lies and the carrot we dangle in front of you!
reply

Aah. The price of Sedition. Teen angst and the sense of entitled outrage, with predictable outcome. Organizing a protest just makes them easier to gather up.
reply

I take it as there is no enemy and there never was. There is no war, there never was. They only need people to think there is. Great mini movie.
reply

Fun Fact: Gaia is the name most often used in SciFi for the first planet colonized by humans, followed by Eden and Earth 2. No imagination.
reply

the government treats people as disposable. cannon fodder. this isnt the future. this has been going on for centuries. good vid tho very good!
reply

Still want to know who they were up against Otherwise good just wish the loop was closed. Also what about stories with good endings.
reply

I am confused. The bigger sister was going to protest against the war waged by the union but then ended up fighting for the union
reply

Just because a film is short doesn't mean it cant have an ending. Just once I'd like to see a short film wrap it up.
reply

this actually had something akin to an ending. We found out what happened to Aura. Congrats on breaking the mold.
reply

I'm proud of myself for fully understanding the Ripple effect. The ending explains everything.
Great storytelling!

reply

I would love to see a sequel where the son found the data his dad left for him, perhaps in the droid memory.
reply

Great plug for a series! Hope you get somewhere with it, please reserve your rights! Don't get railroaded.
reply

I think you shouldnt show older sister in the movie's thumbnail image - it gives out too much about the ending.
reply

Very good story. Would like to see what they are fighting for or against myself. Maybe I'll have to.
reply

Another place that is run by richie's. Like we would have to live if demos kept the rich in power.
reply

Really liked it. I would have loved to see human decay in the dead teen but that is asking too much.
reply

Excellent stuff. Great visuals, score and just enough family, sci fi and thought provoking elements.
reply

I have to get up at 4am. It's 3 hours past the time I usually go to sleep. Love these short movies
reply

Very nice look, good story as well. Once again proves that youth is wasted on the young. Very human.
reply

Best short. The story remembered me Seegar's composition What did you learn in the school today
reply

The younger daughter. I keep being reminded of Summer Glau's role of River Tam in Firefly.
reply

Very good film. The only thing is that the thumbnail is kind of a spoiler. But all good!
