October 2020 for starters
@@jillsmcfarland2001 What is means
at the end, I thought the ferret would start a rescue mission
You don't ever keep pet ferrets in a cage. She got what she deserved.
😆😆me too. I thought exactly the same
Me too. LOL.
@@hunam3876 Is that what this was all about? OK, finally I understand it... Well, not really.
I seriously ad that cross through my mind before reading this hahahaha
Actually this was a great and realistic ending to the story of what would most likely be the common survivalist. 10/10
She violated one of the prime rules of combat. When you see your enemy, shoot. She hesitated and lost the battle.
@@ChickensAndGardening but she shot at it as it was beginning to move toward her. It had momentum by then. She should have started rapid firing immediately.
She use a lever gun, not so effective when u battle a huge monster in a close range
@@carycoller3140 She had a rifle that only had Single fire on it she couldn't go yo Semiautomatic or automatic either way she lost
@@brianhooks9911 that's why she should have taken the shot when she had the chance.
She had a .44 on her hip. Shoulda just pulled that and sprayed.
I loved the visuals/effects. The main character was unraveling due to isolation and loneliness. She obviously was seeking evidence of other survivors. (Of an alien attack?) At first I thought she was hunting when she ventured out, but it makes more sense that there was evidence of contact and she went looking. I can't help but think she was baited. Sad ending, but definitely a compelling, riveting film.
How do they make these short films look so good? I love them. They are better then watching hours of mainstream tv with pointless adverts.
How? Green screen.
@@mahalalel7771No, probably Unreal Engine 5.
The visuals are stunning. The constant greyishness perfectly delivers the vibes of nuclear winter
Old_Sparky13 yeah except there’s no “snow” or “ashes” or whetever the fuck it’s even supposed to be on the ground. How does that work I wonder?
@@jeremyocker2850 dude, it snowed nuclear winter in half the scenes
...imagination 🌈 nuclear hahaha - however, graphics ok
@@jeremyocker2850 she was carrying a device to read the radiation levels so I assume there was some sort of nuclear war. Floating down was a combination of ash and ice. Who started the war? Who knows but it was obviously not worth it.
Except nuclear winters don’t make everything black and white
*She exhibited survival skills while in her dwelling, and abandoned them when she went exploring, which seemed totally unrealistic to me.*
*Her opponent would have been easy to conquer.*
*I feel the filmmaker suffers from survivalist nescience.*
Agree. A small amount of inquiry and research would have increased the "reality" level substantially.
Shame on her. She uses stunt butts
@@jimwilliams3517 And almost NO story, poor end, no climax....
And the moral of this story: Don't lock up your ferret.
It seems everyone dies at the end of Dust shorts.
So memorable that I do not have a clue what my 2 month old comment was about.
As weakly scripted as most things "Dust".
@Hulagan 808 Don't cage animals. Period.
Mark Feemster Миру по миру
This reminds me of a perfume fragrance ad.
If you're a hardened survivor in this gritty, grungy futuristic world.. then you should use AVAXX, the new fragrance from Chernobyl industries. We are the pioneeers of the gargoyle.
Chernobyl fragrances; We just make scents.
oh shut up and take my money!!
I've been trying to call you on your CB channel... Is your radio active?
🤣😂
Brilliant!!
With the wonderful aromas of fire and brimstone
I've had ferrets. They're great pets. If he can get his head out, more than likely he can get out.
He got out to his shoulders, he can leave whenever he wants. He's being polite because one of his meals is a bit late.
100% it's getting out of there no worries.
I used them for hunting.:)
@@ironsightsemo786 Well thank goodness, the ferret is fine. Nothing to worry about in this film at all.
My friend in HS had a job feeding & watering chinchillas & ferrets, I went with him one day & he played a mean trick on me, he scared them by banging on the cages & they stood on their hind legs & started peeing everywhere...lol
And the moral of the story is, "Your ferret. Don't leave home without it."
An interesting twist might have been her waking up in a cage, and being
fed scraps like with the ferret. They are keeping her as a pet.
Great twist!
Poor ferret, that is the only character in this flick that I identified with and cared about.
G. T. Void he’ll be fine I’m sure he will escape the cage eventually if he gets hungry.
Same here
@@deadmausish Yep :(
Locking up a ferret in a mouse cage is animal abuse.
Magnifique! I'm so sorry she didn't make it. That moon... Nice title scene. Everything was superb. Details! The guttering lantern and escaping ferret, the creature skeletons from presumably more successful forays, the costuming, the glorious landscapes- very well done. And no BS Hollywood-ending. Thank you for your courage! Favorited!
That helmet narrowed her vision and limited her directional hearing, and the harness her ability to move dramatically.
I think the helmet was needed due to the toxic atmosphere.
Should have used VATS :.)
Damn i always forget...
😂😂😂😂
Amen, but sometimes it feels like cheating
Nah, a diary, a bullet lighter and a Bastard.
Lol exactly
The building she is in when she is confronted by the monster appears to be some kind of art gallery or museum etc. A building that would have very little value to a survivor.
Thick walls and lots of paper for fire making.
She has looted walmart already.
What I've seen of your shorts, man they all could be made as full length feature films, if you could retain control and keep the studios from changing this and fucking up the entire story. You have a rare talent and the stories are gripping and thought provoking. keep it up and don't stop. Thanks for what you do and all the hard work.
We will have a DUST original feature film coming later this year :)
Another example of "edge" over story.
What story?
Please explain
When you get to level 10 and think you can take on a level 20 lair.
Really loved the sets and armor and visuals. Perfect atmosphere. I'm okay with the anticlimactic ending. Post-apocalypse doesn't always go the way you want it to.
too bad, that's the idea. well done, dust quality.
My only problem with the visuals is the constant rain of ash. At that rate it would be a meter deep in a day or two, yet there is absolutely nothing on the ground.
No, I don't think so. From the calendar (tally sheet really) that she scratches on the wall, she's been in that location for months. She's been going outside for much of that time as well, which you can tell from the map that she circles an area, and then scratches it off after she's cleared it. The most intense time of fallout is shortly after the event that caused it. If she's still got fallout that intense after months, then you have to posit that the conflict that caused it is still going on. If that were the case, why would she be moving through the city clearing it block by block? A survivor in that situation would move towards other people, not spend their remaining life hunting the creatures. No, the makers thought that the constant fallout would make the world more bleak, but didn't study how fallout actually happens, or how fast it accumulates.
Nice explanation Edwin. That was as enjoyable to read as it was watching the video.
Edwin Wiles You make a compelling argument! That's probably what happened when they created the film. But we, as viewers, can find excuses for it. Perhaps this place is subject to very strong, intermitent winds. At 3:56 you can see an enormous death-star-like structure in the sky, so chances are that this story is set on another planet than Earth. And who knows what kind of peculiar climate would exist on this world?
Maybe its a special kind of ash that evaporates as it touches the ground......
JackSpeed 439 there’s a lot of gas in the air/a lot of f-ing clouds
As a long time Fallout player I really loved this one, excellent special effects
Of course you would its NOT a movie its just another cut scene short with an NPC
The moral of the story or the only story here- don't go on a suicide mission and leave your pet, caged or tired up. Please people, have some sense! 🙂
Or, don't follow mutant monsters into abandoned buildings...
lost the count of whispering myself "this is my best one" while on Dust. The "metro" feeling, and creep was awesome. Maybe plot may have been enriched a little more. All in all, loved it a lot.
Belt of ammo and a bolt action rifle? Pretty sure those don't go together.
If they are the same caliber then you can strip one round off the belt at a time. Can be used as an easier form of transportation in belt form.
The belt is not connected to the rifle, it's being used as a bandolier. Duh.
But it's still way too much bullets for a single trip/scout. Not practical at all. Plus it really weighs.
@@Maervyn you can never have too many bullets.
@@brianjungen4059 beat me to it. Would've been way better off with a stripper clip bandolier though. Getting bullets out of links sucks balls.
This version has a rather bad quality compared to the Vimeo version, which has better colors, no mpeg artifacts, and normal credits. However, the mutation or long scar and the wing tattoos on the girl's back, recognisable in the shower scene, raise some questions who she was before the apocalypse ;-)
I would give the actress some credit. Her name is Lila Guimarães.
The short is dated 2016 on IMDB. It is technically very advanced, regarding picture manipulation and integration of CGI into real-world photography.
I recommend watching it a few times, because of the many details it has in every scene.
Most of the flaws the movie would have, according to some comments here, are based on speculations or presumptions.
-The moon is not our moon for sure.
-The dead man in the strongroom shows no sign of decomposition, but he could have died not long ago.
-Propane or Butane gas for cooking can actually last for decades, as I experienced myself recently with a 30-year-old cartridge. It would require some airflow as it produces co2 when burnt.
-Some viewangles are showing that the girl lives in a cellar, not a bunker.
-The shellac record has about three tracks, which is not impossible but very rare. But playing a modern (33 or 45 rpm) record with a grammophone (usually 78 rpm) would certainly kill the record. I doubt that you would hear anything with such a big needle.
-The first two gunshots on the street are indeed missing the reload noise inbetween.
-The map is indeed of San Francisco (west oriented), but the architecture of the buildings does remind me more of the old town of an european city.
-I would argue that a better gun (automatic) was not available to the girl, or that antiquity is simply the weapon of her choice. From some artifacts there I would then conclude she is a bit of a Steampunk girl.
A well written comment.
awesome deconstruction!
Take the damn mask off so you can seeeeee!!!!
Why not a brittish 303?
I was expecting the ferret to break free of its cage, and activate something that would help her. Like, she knows how long it will take the ferret to get out if she loosens a few wires, so she always makes sure to get back before that time has passed. But if gets out, it goes for food and has to walk over a pressure plate that sends out a homing robot or a flare or activates a bomb on her suit, etc.
Nope. Just dead girl and ferret. *sigh*
(edited for typo)
Dark atmosphere, own universe, good soundtrack... awesome!
Fallout fan here. This is one of the best i ever seen. Great atmosphere.
Awesome visuals. Nice build-up, disquieting, bleak, hopeless. Unusual choice of ending. I was expecting her hand to twitch to give us some hope she would overcome as most stories are driven to provide. Very well done. Really opened up my mind to new possibilities.
LOVED the helmet armor suit she had, so cool! Great atmosphere and lighting very cool.
Some of the Tech was cool, too bad there was ZERO plot or story to use it..
Wow, Italy really went downhill after the Coronavirus!
I EXIST lmfao. Underrated my guy
No, it's Britain after brexit, mate.
Not funny and sort of cruel.
Do you mean America hahaha
Portland,chicago,new york,seattle?
Well I had it in my sights. And was behind cover. So I figured I'd better run away and enter an empty building. Thereby ensuring that this thing could sneak up on me from any direction. Great visuals. But duuuumb tactics. Might want to switch off that geiger counter BTW. That sound is sort of giving away your position.
@Reploid REVO The Geiger counter seemed to only sound loud, once the protagonist turned around; didn't make a lot of sense to me- since the Geiger counter's sound should have increased as the creature got closer, to be an effective device for defensive purposes, and not just when the protagonist finally turned around, and it was too late. So I agree, another, inconsistent detail in this visually well-produced (but story wised flawed) short video, IMHO. I personally think the little details are what really makes a story be a good one.
Yeah, I couldn't understand her tactics at all. I thought that when she got up on that bridge-like structure she had a big advantage -- she was elevated with a clear field around her and if the beast managed to make the bridge, he'd have to come straight at her without deviation. But instead she goes running to a dark building with a million recesses in it where the thing could hide and come at her from any direction. But what do I know?
🤣🤣 my thoughts exactly
People in the post-apocalypse are very wasteful of candles...
was thinking exacly the same.
NoJusticeNoPeace yes those candles really looked like home-manufactured from fatbergs. (IRONY)
Sure but watch them candles in this movie. Its factory-manufactured. Im not against that you could build candles with fatmountains extracted from sewers. They just would look like theese candles she has in the movie. Also the fatmountain candles would smoke as fuck inside, she would have to wear gasmask inside :D
Nah just forget it.
@@NoJusticeNoPeace you mean besides the fact they have a solid form (wax) and are lily white (wax)-?
Yeah right: no way to tell (sarcasm off)
Makes one wonder how she survived that long with those set of skills and tactics? It was like it was her first time outside.
Yes. If there were at least a bit of back and forth cat and mouse. But no. She shoots at something and gets pounced on. That's it. If it was intelligent enough to hang her upside down for whatever her fate, then why wouldn't it have also been hunting her and her lair.
Yessiree...
..."when your life is in danger...
...run straight into a dark room" I always say!
These kind of dark, apocalyptic short films always leave me wanting more.
Yes like a plot
Congratulations to the writers, production, make-up artists,FX and actor what a great effort I thoroughly enjoyed the short movie, credit to all involved.
Why didn’t she just force grab her light saber when she was upside down?
Top 10 Questions Science Can't Answer
eclipsewrecker Because she is dead already.
mdredheadguy1979 oh I thought the force still worked in death.
@@eclipsewrecker She was wearing a protective suit, covering her whole body & head. I'd say the air was poisonous to breathe, &/or had a deadly level of radiation. That creature slashed through her mask & exposed her to the air. I'm pretty sure that's what killed her.
Bro these is starwars episode V 😅
That "monster" was excited while making that fire. Love also goes through the stomach. He was in a perfect mood.
😄😄😄...at least he didn't eat her raw, that would've been uncivilized.
@@bgsound2721 How do you know he didn't just heat up some mushrooms to go with her raw leg?
@@vladdracul5072 kinda like a raw chicken wing. Human sushi
A lot of legitimate technical criticisms have been brought up here, and I don't want to dismiss them, but I love this short as an exercise in creating a mood and tone while building a fascinating and tantalizingly incomplete world. It's a great seed that leaves the viewer wanting to learn more. I couldn't help but start filling in the blanks in my head.
@Woochinatchika Kokillibolinov "Rich vacuous leftists"? What the hell are you even talking about? You do realize that this is a sci-fi short and not a political commentary, right? Or are you just spamming random videos to vent your anger?
@Woochinatchika Kokillibolinov So your personal social circle gives you special insight into how Dust finances their filmmakers and puts you in a position to judge their character as individuals? Wow. That's... "special."
Since you obviously have a personal gripe with everyone associated with an entire industry, why would you even watch the video, let alone make yourself look like an ass by making vague ad hominems about the people behind it?
Feel free to not answer, by the way. This thread is adding nothing meaningful to the discussion about the video.
Well, she died fast. Now the Ferret is on his own.
Why the cage? Wouldn’t the ferret act like a cat & hang out in exchange for dinner?
@@puffinvapor4551 Exactly. Who keeps their ferret permanently in a cage?
For a survivor who takes so much care in the care of her weapon, plus body hygiene - why and for whom? - she amazes with unbelievable carelessness during her patrol.
Many of these science fiction films convince with technical brilliance, but the stories and motifs behind them are often very, very thin.
I suppose they're all student graduate theses from a film school.
I think it's credible (just about). We know she has a weapon, but that doesn't necessarily mean she's a soldier. She could have acquired her weapons through other means, and learned how to take care of them through a combination of intuition and trial and error. (She might have some sort of engineering background, which would help her out a little.) Even if she is trained in combat, the film indicated that her peripheral vision is quite poor in that suit, making it difficult to spot threats, and the suit might also be muffling sound. The creature is also shown to be quite resistant to bullets, so running is arguably a better option than shooting. As for the shower, she does still need to remove sweat to prevent fungal infection (assuming that's still a thing).
you've been conditioned watching too many movie stereotypes
It is never determined what kind of background she has, and compared to other films, I don't see any sense of outright carelessness on her part, other than perhaps going into a confined area of space perhaps, but then again you're trying to project military precision and tactics upon a survivor in an apocalypse.
@@Xydonus true, not to mention soldiers make mistakes and are susceptible to dying like anyone else
security tiredness / fatigue?
That poor ferret. I felt more remorse for it than the human. Not that I am totally without empathy but she is obviously the most capable being left on the planet. She let her guard down, the irradiated zombies still retaining their hunting skills put them to use when hunger strikes. They are definitely carnivores!
This is one of the best Dust presentations I've seen up to now. Watched it several times with more viewings in the future.
Well done you guys!!!
PART 2 PLEASE!!📽🎬 God I Love This!!
Don't worry, i have been feeding the ferret.
oh thank you i was worried
ich auch.....
You, too; that sneaky, scheming ferret got over on us. I wonder who else went for it too.
Not since I found your shelter, btw your flesh tasted better than a ferret would...
So the ferret was behind this all along... I KNEW IT! Also, can anyone explain why carrying an ammo belt with a bolt-action rifle is a good idea?
If it's all you got...alot easier to carry large amount of ammo when wearing gloves would make loose carry clumsy.
Belt or bandolier?
This short really creates a realistic window into the final moments of a survivors life. Gritty and without direction truly unreliant on any narrative. What we see is what there is and sometimes that's all you get in life.
She should have told it about her feelings. Apparently that's the best way to solve all problems.
Reality Check ..Yes, and then they could have sat around a camp fire and sang Kumbaya, and all would be well with the world....!!
@@marbleman52 Lol, exactly. I'm sure it will end just fine.
first of all with a enemy hunting you. you always get to the higher ground ware you can see 180 degree view and 2nd never, never go into a closed spaces with no lighting,"Duh"! basic survival statics.
Do you mean 360°?
Big lesson here is that everything you do is essentially a big waste of time. All that physical & mental preparation, planning, mapping, caring for something, etc will come to naught as something random will take it all away in a second. You are no better than the ferret in the cage - in the end just a piece of food..
She did have a nice caboose though :)
Sound like your a person that dose not have any belief in FAITH OR HOPE, and folds or crumbles to defeat at first sign of adversity.
@@roninnovastar1321 I was merely commenting on the depressing theme of this video - not expressing my personal views on hope our how I go about dealing with the adversities of life. It sounds like you're a person that is quick to judge or label someone. Have some faith in your fellow CZcams viewers :)
@@richarddavies2529 With all due respect, I think your contradicting yourself, reread your- Big Lesson, certainly seems to me, That, this advise coming from you to others, is what you believe. Maybe you need to re phrase it, because its easy to assume what my previous comment too you, by me is correct, and I am more than sure, others would agree with my assessment of your comment. Your comment makes no mention of { depressing theme } its stating a Personal opinion of advise. Take care..
@@roninnovastar1321 Ok. I had to re-read your reply several times to try to figure out what your griping about. Some folks like to use a thing called "sarcasm" when they comment. Mine was a sarcastic synopsis of the apparent lesson portrayed by the video. Maybe it's a hard thing to recognize if English isn't your first language - which may actually be the problem here.
I will say, however, that my comment about her caboose (rear-end) was personal. No reading between the lines there..
@@richarddavies2529 Ok, I will give the benefit of the doubt, sarcasm Accepted, But you need to understand there are people out there that believe exactly in what your first comment eluded to or suggested. There usually called the sheeple of society, that are the first to fall apart and into submission when life crisis rears its ugly head. Thats the truth !! Take care !! And by the way she did have a nice caboose LOL !!
Masterful movie making. Love the classic Hallicrafters SX-42 receiver.

This was 100% better than the crap on TV now . . . I could watch another 2 hours of this . . .
Really, I love dust but this is in the bottom 1%, this is like a bad video game cut scene, except it has NO PLOT
@@Realitygetreal
I was comparing it to movies on regular TV, old Clint Eastwood western movies better than stuff on regular TV 👋🇵🇹
@@Realitygetreal My friend,
the plot was / is daily survival - the irony is she went out looking for food then became food - just like it was in the past / current / & in everyone's future - eat or get eaten
Lol this was horrible. None of it made any sense. She had the monster in her line of fire and decided to run into a dark building so that monster could easily creep up on her. Also turns on a useless loud machine that gives away her position. Just another bad horror flick perpetrating as sci fi.
@@HomiesBrownies You make great points, sure it could have been better but I was comparing this to what's on TV - the TV of the 1970's had much better films than today
I found 1:16 to to be the most compelling part of this story and I would definitely watch a sequel...
I like that it does not matter how mutated we get in the apocalyptic winter, we still have the ability to make fire. Home comforts.
This was definitely recorded in my home town Santos/SP in Brazil. I would recognize this buildings from old down town and the layout in the sidewalk. Nice CGI though.
Great work.
Saw it a while ago...just watched it again....well done,you put us in a great setting;world building is half the battle of sci-fi...jeez what a bunch of picky whiners on here...and gun experts,ooooh. Great job.
At about 7:01, the woman passes some newspapers and/or magazines strewn on the ground. This would imply that the apocalyse (whatever it was) happened only a few days before, since paper degrades fairly quickly. Then a little later, at 7:47, she comes upon the skeleton of some large animal. It would take three to six months for a large animal to be completely stripped to its bones. This is an inconsistency.

Yes, I was that board in quarantine that I counted her wall scratch marks, the movie starts on her 368 day of isolation, so she made it 1 year by herself. I was just waiting for her to wake up and use the force to grab her light saber... (Note to self, have more then 1 record to play!) Once again, Monsters move like Ninjas and armor means nothing to the slightest tap. (4 stars)
Serves her right for not fixing the flickering light.
well that was cheerful!
Electricity, gas service, running water...
Just how far into the apocalypse is this supposed to be?
3 hours I guess
They wont cut off your service as long as you pay the bill.
Just found DUST. I'm very impressed with the production quality and soundtracks.
Fantastic creation!!! Excellent in every way… grabbed my eyeballs and brain and wouldn’t let go!
Problem: A vacuum tube radio is not starting up in an instant... that particular model would need five to ten minutes to become operational. The effect could've been quite nice, she turns on the radio then goes and pours herself a coffee or some water, the radio slowly turns on, the volume and noise increases building up on the scene, she gets back on the chair... just saying as you clearly like mixing in old tech with apocalyptic scenarios. And I actually agree that those old radios could still work very well in such a scenario.
Right. EMP's don't take out vacuum tubes.
Perhaps the radio has a standby mode which keeps the valves warm.
That's right. Also a Geiger counter is not supposed to display voltages. They could have borrowed one for the film instead of that voltmeter.
No happy ending, but the visuals and the tension throughout the piece made for a fascinating experience.
Ed Bailey me too
me too but then i pretend the ferret in the cage escapes and rescues his owner heehee
:-)
It's French (it appears to be), don't expect a happy ending lol.
Brazilian film
So pretty much my life from 2020-present since the pandemic hit...
Quelle qualité incroyable ces courts métrages !
Seems like everyone of these shorts deals with an “End of the World” dystopian future.
Can anyone imagine what it will be like if we just keep going on and progressing? Let’s consider all the movies in the past, dealing with what they believed Today was going to look like. Everything from the “Jetsons” to “2001: Space Odyssey” to “Back to the Future”. No one got it right. Hell, Star Trek is closer. Flip phones, computers playing music, IPads...
I concur. In fact, an engineer friend and I ( biochemist) spent some time designing a world of the future. We had no trouble fitting 100 billion people into Texas with the rest of the world for agriculture/aquaculture, mining, energy production and recreation outside the megalopolis.
Every major science fiction prediction usually ends up being wrong. It's almost always because they are about some sort of apocalypse. The science fiction that is about progress (like star trek) are the ones on the money.
Go watch Bicentennial Man if you want to see the future.
You don't think the Jetsons was realistic?
Try watching (or reading) "The Expanse."
@VICTOR SPOILS OFFICIAL PRODUCTIONS ....agree, but I think Brave New World was even more accurate...
I think the skeleton was an elephant. Anyway, why did she not engage the threat outside where she stood a better chance? Not tactically sound.
Totally agree, tactically its absurd. I mean what nonsense, really!! why wouldn't you?
Even if it was tactically sound, why didn’t she unholster her firearm for close combat? Absurd to me
Engage the threat?... _enough_ with the tacticool talk. 🤣
Was a bit dumb going into that building though, mind you, even outside she'd probably have died given the restricted vision in that helmet and the awkwardness of operating a bolt action rifle in that armour(?)
cmcer1995 you answered your own question...."she"
And she's pretty slow on reaction...the creature peeked, ducked behind the corner then she fires...
A+ for art and visuals, D- for story.
Holy cats is that tragic!
Absolutely wonderful!
This seems to have potential for a tv series; it has plenty of room for world building.
Anyone else get shivers when she scraped on the board at the beginning? Felt like nails on a chalkboard lol
Ve Vee I found it initially a shock, until I realized that she was keeping a calendar. After that, it was just annoying.
Ve Vee that's the name of a character in one of my stories
Never hesitate. Love it a good beginning.
Well that was jolly! Thanks.
Totally had me in the frame, and left me "hanging".
Loved so much about the 'feel' of the film, the photography, the editing, etc! Excellent! I might be in the minority here, but I absolutely adored the ending!
In that world, it's how a survivor would go. Alternate title for English release, "Lunatic: Life In A Post-Trump World". (Oops #1. Continuity. She worked out - showered - then re-wrapped hands with tape to eat(?) - then on to her pet. I never felt as if we were skipping through days which would make this OK. #2 Machine gun belt (ammo) and a bolt-action rifle? )
She looks like a young Ellen Ripley. LOVE IT!
With that narrow field of view you can only survive as a hunter, not as a prey.
Finally, someone with good judgment.
Excellent observation
Thank you professor.
Nooooooo poor feret...... T_T
i know!! right
Don't worry, it'll soon be thin enough to squeeze through the bars. 😂

Yep, and thus it ends.
What is this movie trying to tell us? Life in apocalyptic state is hopeless if invaded by monsters or don't mess around with weapons? If somebody knows tell me.
After Fallout the video games, Fallout the movie. Impressively written, shot and done.
Holy love PLEASE wasteland give more
Great visuals, but hey, it's a good story that's needed. OK as a showcase for CGI work, but as a short film, sorry it failed for me.
How the hell did you achieve the CGI look with live action? Absolutely brilliant.
Probably Unreal Engine 5.
we don't always need to see the hero's journey. well done with the surprise ending!
Do Not stay out in the open where you can see. Do enter a building you don't know.. and your opponent does know.
Great short, love to see more let's hope she can escape and find a partner to start the human race again.
Reducing the radioactive zombie's numbers would be an exciting plot to keep the film going at least a full season's worth lol.
She looked dead to me.
I like it .... well done , really intresting ...needs a part 2 !!
No part 2 the girl didn't make it ! Got eaten by the mutant humanoid!
A ferret ... a furbaby ... cuuuuuuute
Excelente!!! Me gusto mucho!!! Espero mas de esto!
Hola...
Saludos desde México.
Wow!!! All of that and the movie just left her hangin'? Wonderful piece of work..just wish it was a part 2 to this!!! Again wonderful!!!
Phillip Young: yeah we all wish there was a part 2, But there never is.
Phillip Young I think the ferrit gets out and kills the monster and rescues the survivor.
Seems like her best bet is to stay at home base and make sandwiches while someone with abilities brings home the bacon.
On her own, struggling to survive, according to the intro.
You know ..a lot of these short stories reminder me of what Egon said to Lewis's after his trail statement "It was short but pointless"
I like that not every Dust video has a happy ending but damn it seems like they all have the protagonist failing anymore...it is nice to see the good guys win one every once in a while...this was still a pretty killer short tho...Fallout 4 anyone?
"Fallout4" feelings!
I get it the end ofthe world and all, but fix the damn light!
It's the bloody flourescent light with the short.
The aesthetics are lovely.
