Next episode please ?
Whats the documentary about?
Where's the sequelS ????? Make it a series ! :))))
There has to be a part 2. You can't leave us hanging like that after such a great story.
Agreed, when it ended I was like NOOO.. just need a pt2 that can close out this story
I too, will be looking for part 2!!!!!!
Right. I totally agree.
@@djkouza part3/4...gotta have flashback
They’re making a whole movie!
A rarity: a parallel-worlds story that actually shows some thought and depth, such as using entire Earths as mining / manufacturing sites. Hope to see more of this series.
Sadly, most of the "Dust shows" are one-offs. (Not saying not possible, but I've not spotted one yet.)
@@TheJECNova did you watch the Atropa series?
@@jclowe735 A rare non one-off
Rick and Morty has more parallel universe depth.
@@CutWing Yes, "Buttock-Fart Earth" is so much deeper. It's almost as if Rick and Morty is a satirical comedy and this is an action drama or something.
Rest in power Mr. REDDICK. Your talents are truly missed.
😢
How he pass away ?
Yeah, losing him hurts us all.
@@RoadHead62 this is very true. He was very good in all he did. His gift will truly be missed.
Rip Lance❤🕊
Rest in peace Lance Reddick, your voice was a treasure.
This was seriously brilliant and deserves to be made into a full animated movie. Completely blew my mind.
A movie wild be good, but a series would be great (exceptional if the animators and story writers remain consistent)!
I don't think a movie would cover enough. This deserves at least a couple seasons of a proper show. Lots of potential here.
The story, the animation, the actors - all amazing. I want to see more in this world!
We agree!
Three we agree
Me three or four or ten or whatever - hopefully this is just the first episode in this story!
I also concur! Bring us our sequel!
yeah
Much thanks to the late Lance Reddick for your presence and talent on this and so many other projects. You'll be missed by myself and so many others. Rest.
What happened?
@@bozhijakHe's the voice actor for the assistant, he died aged 61 from heart disease I believe.
@@olivaredito3437 Thanks for the info.
What are Netflix Animation waiting for, they need to scoop this up. This is brilliant 👍
Why do you need Netflix for? You want them to destroy this? Watch it here and support the channel.
@@TurboAchiever no stupid, watching this stunning movie on youtube does not support the channel, do you know how much they spend to make this movie?
If they want to develop more, they need Netflix. Otherwise, everything is fine.
@@hoanghai5572 only one stupid here is you. You want them to sell out just because YOU want to see more content. You think only about yourself.
@@TurboAchiever "Watch it here and support the channel"... Pretty sure I've done both already. Do you know how much revenue Netflix make every year? If Netflix picked up this small project, it'll be huge for these guys. Stop being naive.
@@Kazimation 💯
This has got to become a series. So well done!
Yeap
Agreed !!
My thoughts exactly.
any idea how we can do that though?
It HAS to! This was so good. Imaginative and exciting. Please!
Holy cow, did not expect to find such a gem lying around on youtube, well-done guys, this is exceptional.
You make it sound like this video was uploaded by a channel with 10 subscribers dude..
Dust channel is a great place to find amazing sci-fi shorts.
Dust is amazing, and if you think this was good check them out.
The plot and the design is just A-MA-ZING!!! Better than most movies from big studios. 👌👌
I wish people would stop saying that! This is so so at best. Weak dialogue. Story is sketchy.
@@Colin-FenixBut much better than many superhero movies today.
@@XimCines true but that's a low bar, most superhero movies are for kids
I hope they continue this series! Amazing potential and awesome foundational episode.
This needs to be a series this is like a prologue to a season, its good enough to be on mainstream tv
Too good I’d say
@@waverlyking6045 because like it or not alot of times it get the artist and creators more traction, more views= more money=more funds for new projects = more intresting projects......unless they are bought by the super companies which milk it till it dies....
I hope this gets to become a series... the story possibilities are enormous... great work to all involved!
Great story, characters, animation, art work. Very well made.
That would be awesome.
It reminds me InterWorld by Gaiman and Reaves
Makes me think of the Charlise Therion movie "Aeon Flux" but with a twist!
@@marketingwithwilliam how good was that
Whoa, I was INTO this one. It has a full cinema feel, great animation and interesting characters. I was actually surprised it ended as I was focused on the plot and dialog. GREAT JOB!
I'm seriously amazed how DUST has the budget for these high production value shorts.
Would be awesome to see this as a movie or TV show. Love the 'Multiverse' theory. And Lance Reddick..?? Fringe is still my fave Parallel Universe TV show..!!
Walter bishop
Excellent!! Let's make some lsd.
I'm re watching The Fringe now!!! Great series.
I wish Bad Robot knew how to END a series properly, but DAMN if it wasn't great when it was still in production.
I loved Fringe when it started, but the storyline changed a LOT.
I shot you an email. We should do an interview on your podcast. I love Fringe.
Wow! Give this one an A++! I’d love to watch a series with this as the opener to the pilot! As slick and beautiful as it is clever. Good pace and storytelling chops too … more!
The story is the thing, as they say. Wait until you meet Nick's doppelgänger from our universe.
A++ Would that make it "Double plus good"?? 😮👁
I agree with you Brad Armstrong, this is one of the BEST animated series I have ever seen. And the Storytelling is also very very good! I was to see many episodes of this Parallel Man series. The director did an amazing job.
Great! We want more!
This reminds me of when I was a kid watching X-men on Saturday. Magnificent.
I enjoyed hearing Lance Reddick's voice. He's a legend
Arguably one of the `Best` Dust shorts ever! Absolutely amazing acting, script, concept, action and mystery. It would be criminal not to make a full length movie or series.-Top post!
Could be a series. Parallel Earths, there's no end to the possible stories there. "Sliders," I know, but this is way beyond that.
Thanks for saying that. We are figuring out how to get a film made!
I’d watch whatever came of this. I loved this. I’m genuinely upset there isn’t more 🤣
True! Been looking for something as good as FTL. Finally found it!
I hope this becomes a series, I can see the potential in storyline, imagination and creativity. It makes me want to learn the background so I can delve deeper.
*infinite worlds...infinite variations on ending ones existence*
totally agree with you 110%. I was captured the entire time
There is a comic book of it. That came out in 2014. It ran for 4 issues
RIP Lance Reddick - great voice, and actor
This is why I love DUST! Thank you guys for this masterpiece 💕
Futuredude gave us the James Bond TRON Legacy lovechild we didn't know we needed!
You get EXACTLY what I was trying to do!
@@jeffreymorris7242 I just realized that Parallel Man's animation style rivals that of the fantastic TRON: Uprising animated series, where Lance Reddick also voices a character!
Finally a show that is not depressing as all the other shows, leaving an ending with hope. Love what you have done, would enjoy to watch a series on this.
What ending?
MORE! This is too good not to finish the story.
This would definitely work as a miniseries.
AND THE OSCAR GOES TO PARALLEL MAN...
This is without any doubt the best short I have seen in a long time. Loved every bit of it and loved the multiverses that were created. This is like the 90's Show Sliders with a modern twist. I hope there will be more to see in the future and thank you for such a brilliant contribution!
He wouldn't punch out the presenter.....Err unless they were concealing a component.
Thank you!
I’ve been following Jeffrey Morris’s (aka FutureDude) work for a long time. I love everything about Parallel Man. It’s the kind of intelligent animated science fiction we so need. While we’ve seen quite a bit of the multiverse lately, this is a unique, original and very well thought out take on the genre. It’s a perfect balance between dystopia and a hopeful vision. Love that there’s action within a thoughtful premise. I really hope we can see this become a series!
"It’s a perfect balance between dystopia and a hopeful vision."
I couldn't have said it any better.
That was incredible. Hope to see more.
Even though Lance may have passed, his legend will continue to grow and live on through our Titan Vanguard, Zavala. Fly high, Commander
How did he pass ?
I don’t want more of this. I NEED more of this! Great style. Great animation! Really like the treatment of multiple universes. The stylized look and tech design is beautiful and original! Loving this. Congrats!
This right here is one of those gems we only run across a couple times in life and I absolutely loved it! Thank you Jeffrey Morris and everyone who made such a wonderful short film!!
You're welcome! I'll let the team know what you said.
This is awesome! Great story, animation, and acting. RIP Lance. I would love to see more!
It's beautiful in the end.
The best part of CZcams, discovering gems like this. I hope to see more of the Dust Multiverse.
Hmm Ronald Reagan, Us.Flag, German Flag,French Flag,Spanish Flag.....hmm bizzar
Fast paced, engaging and masterfully executed! Jeffrey Morris, creates a 10/10 thriller! Not a surprise to see it on the premier and cutting edge short film streaming platform DUST! DUST Rocks!!!
I would watch this if this was a series. This was fun. I recognized Lances voice right from the start plus you have Ming-Na Wen and John fricken Cho, a great choice of voice actors .
This is beginning of a great story. It would be a crime to leave it like this!
This was Great! The unmistakable voice of Lance Riddick used for the A.I. was a nice fit. This concept would even work in a live action movie. Keep it up!
Thank you I know him from Bosch, I recognized it but couldn't place it.
I knew that voice sounded familiar! He voices Zavala from the Destiny games
Immediately recognised Lance's voice too from 'Horizon: Zero Dawn'. From the sounds of it he's featured in a lot more than I realised.
Great story and animation. One of the better Dust shorts I've watched
you know Dust just distributes these, right? It's not the content producer.
Thanks! That means a lot!
SO COOL! The artwork, the story, the characters, the colors, the Earths! This should DEFINITELY be made into a series! It's just amazing!
Congrats on doing something more interesting with a multiverse than Marvel ever will.
I could see this being made into a feature film, or series. Beautiful colors, attention to detail was top notch. I wish i had one of them floating cars like yesterday. Definitely a 1st class animation 👌🏼
This short film is backed by a legit comic book that I am waiting with baited breath to see! The author/director was popularizing these ideas before the multiverse really took off, a true early adopter. I believe so strongly in the work of Jeffrey Morris! Give it a watch!
Thanks!!!
Wtf are you talking about. That sounds like plagiarism then. "BLACK SCIENCE" from image comics is exactly this but done better, I felt it was a rip off just watching it but to hear a comic is planned is too far, that's plagarism 100%
@@ghagzor SLIDERS (TV show), DOCTOR WHO (TV show), _Worlds of Imperium_ (novel), Torg (TTRPG), and countless short stories, books, games, movies, and shows explore parallel world (often with alternate histories), dimensional invaders, and associated sci-fi elements.
But you're concerned this animated short stole from a comic book series that began in 2013?
Why?
___
Not to mention FRINGE!
Facts. I hope this gets picked up soon.
bated
Part of the film that I really love is how they referenced the fermi lab as if reality was converged. This is absolutely a job well done!
So impressed! It has a lush, big sci-fi feel with great characters and an immersive story! Love the animation and music. Excellent work- would love to see more!
Thanks, Dan. Your opinion means a lot to us.
Okay. There had BETTER be an episode 2 to this! DUST has so many good shorts that leave us hanging.
This deserves its own series .....
DUST, you break my heart so many times. Great starts, but not enough time to tell the whole story. The whole thing is beautiful.
Man, the story is really interesting
MAKE. THIS. MOVIE! This was just ...... AWESOME!
Very nicely done. Please give us the continuation!
You guys deliver! Everything you have put out here for us os nothing short of fantastic.
This short film is nothing short of amazing. The animation and designs are absolutely beautiful, and the story is an action-packed return to the brand of sci-fi I grew up watching that just isn't made anymore. At the same time, this is a fresh and new take on the genre that I'm excited to see more of.
This premise would make a great movie
I would still have loved an entire series of this. RIP, Mr Reddick.
No... No.... NO I WANT MORE.. I'm an artist my self.. that was so good. I loved it. Just goes to show what happens when you take some pride in what your doing and care about the ones who are receiving what you are doing. Every one involved in this project... I really hope you all get the recognition you deserve. That was beautifully composed and had me enchanted in the moment. Got to be one of the top 10 I've seen. All time. So when do we have the pleasure of seeing more??? No really ? Of this story not something different ..
Loved the animation style, story and voice acting. This had all the marks of a MCU film yet better . I was left wanting more, to know what happened to his father, does he succeed at beating the Ascendancy?. This needs to go into full production imo.
This comment really impacted us. We are going to make an animated feature in part because of your statement. I'll explain someday.
DUST never ceases to blow me away
This NEEDS to be turned into a series!
Great setup. It's so refreshing to see real scope in a multiverse story instead of just evil twins and second chance tropes. I'd definitely watch more.
Definitely a different take of the parallel worlds theme, multiple worlds, universes without the chaos of multiples of same character variants. It's giving it a singular story tying all the different worlds. Not to mention the quality presentation and story telling. Though it kinda jumped in mid story, I didn't feel I missed anything leading to where it started from.
I'm really not that much into animation but this? I seriously want to see more. This is probably one of the best plotlines I have ever seen. Very unique!
NOOOO! I need to see Part 2! There has to be a Part 2! This is a marvelous piece of work in all respects.😀
World building, exposition, story, backstory, character development, and much more in only 12m. Very impresive!
PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS GOING TO BE MADE INTO A SERIES!!!
I praise any being that puts such passion and thought into giving of themselves and sharing with others. I thoroughly enjoyed this from beginning to end. Definitely sharing this with other like minded people I know. Thank you to the whole production team. If I were working on this project, I would be extremely proud of what I had helped to bring to the screen.
Thank you for watching & for the insightful comments. Jeffrey created an amazing world I know the entire team is proud of him & of what was created by the entire team.
WOW~ A REAL plot from a Dust movie! And a romping adventure to boot! Very enjoyable! I add my vote to those demanding a part II
The absolute best film I've ever seen. It's got Everything! Great job
I need more of this. It's out-of-this-world good. And I love the style of animation, too. I love everything about this short, animated film. It's gorgeous!
Parallel Man is amazing!
So many possibilities going forward, I can’t wait to see more.
Jeffrey Morris is the Dude of the Future….
Damn it! Got hooked immediately. Love the animation style, acting, and immersive storyline. It was over before it started! I need more of this! Fantastic!
This is amazing! We need part 2 please!
As with everyone else I'd like to see this as a series. It could be incredible! More, please. 🤗🖖💕
I was left wanting more, one of the `Best` Dust shorts ever! Absolutely amazing acting, script, concept, action and mystery. It would be criminal not to make a full-length movie or series.
Probably the best futuristic series I've seen in awhile can't wait for number 2
Like many have said here, this is an excellent animation and story. This NEEDS to continue
Wonderful designs, animation, action -- and a compelling set up for a series. Hey Netflix, HBO, Hulu -- one of you pick this up!!!
.........
Intresting , who else could've thought to hit this domain but you did it.
THIS IS BADASS....Where's part 2 guys?
Like everyone else has said, this needs to be a series or a series of movies... What a tease!!! Endless possibilities... Damned good jump-off right here. Incredible. Congrats to all involved.
I feel like this was 5-10 minutes from being a complete short story, but instead we're left on a cliffhanger. Why do I get the feeling this is supposed to lead to a series? ARRGGgggg!!! I want to see more!
Very clever and innovative story. The concept, general scenes design and pace was executed very well. And the animation style fully befits the tale.
In general, this is an outstanding animated piece and a great example of story telling where the action and the story development support each other, while progressing at a "parallel" pace.
Congrats!
This is excellent! Thank you for this. I hope there is more, this would be a great series.
Holy shit, what did I just see? Unbelievable!!! There’s a lot of heart and soul work put into this… solid ART!
Absolutely incredible. Well done.
This needs to become a series. It's amazing to find such awesome content on CZcams. Bring us more!
This parallel man world has so many possibilities for content and creativity. Great show!
This is such an epic short film! Wow, I seriously hope there'll be part 2 & beyond 😃🌌🖖🏽
What a great piece of pure art: in design, story, everything! Congratulations, Jeffrey!
"Chinamerica... not where I wanted to be."
*BRO, I KNOW THIS FEEL.*
Amazing story line. Please write more on this. And I love the graphics.
I love that all the commandos that die have names- they aren't just mooks, but people with relationships, even if only hinted at.
Put simply...this is amazing! A story with deep immersion. Why hasn't a second or even a third part been developed? This should be a continuing series. Full of potential.
Beautiful animation. I love the score and how well you have created this. The story is gripping and I definitely want to see a lot more. I must have failed my friend to have not seen this sooner. I can't wait to see the full series.
FINALLY! A sci-fi short that isn't riddled with tired old cliches. This was a very enjoyable watch! Very nice work!
I'm pretty sure it was all cliches, but that's why it works
This was awesome. So was the cast. MORE.
This needs to become a series, it is really very good ! I hope you’re listening creator, because you really have something better than most.
I have 4 words .We need more of this.Well done to the director of this awesome short.
I agree. But that's 5 words.
