Sci-Fi Fantasy Short Film "LAL" | DUST

[@triplepen]

Hi everyone! I'm Gökalp, the director of this movie! I hope you enjoyed it. If you have any comments, questions or remarks, I'll be here for a while. Have a wonderful day^^

[@triplepen]

@fruchttragend Thank you sir!

[@Cocinaybienestar]

I don´t understood the movie

[@FeldMaresal]

Congrats, Gokalp. Excellent work.

[@rexjaguarius]

A thought provoking and heartbreaking masterpiece.

[@sasanrad]

how the first one Born? they should read from paper for boring but first one? sorry for my English

[@Fweepo]

A thought is born. It consumes old ideas to fill the void. The thought cries out and creates more thoughts. The thoughts cannibalize each other until one remains. A thought that is not voiced fades way.

[@kingnj7623]

That's a nice poetic way of putting it. It really points out a picture I didn't see before 😢

[@wamengxiong0409]

Makes sense, as those vine like things below the platform reminds me of the dentrites/neurons (dont remember the correct name) in our brains

[@montanateri6889]

Movie: Mind blowing. Artistry: Mind bending. Direction, production, : perfection. Solution: we are all doomed.

[@internet-gangsta2162]

THE CREATIVITY IS ON ANOTHER LEVEL,THE MINDS THAT PUT THIS TOGETHER ARE A THREAT TO THE TRAITS THAT MAKE HUMANS SUCH A PAIN TO THEMSELVES AND THE PLANET AND ANIMALS,BRAVO! DESIRE,GREED,ANGER,SELFISHNESS,GREEED! REGRET,PAIN,AND DEFEAT...BEAUTIFUL.

[@gseach]

You don't need me to tell you how good this movie is; I'm sure you know already. But I am grateful for the opportunity to have watched such engrossing animation and sound. The storyline, although simple with a predictable conclusion, it nonetheless kept me involved right to the end. This was a joy to behold; thank you.

[@sumboide4204]

Not often you get a movie short or long that you sit staring at guessing conclusions, reasons, and sadly, the message all true about mankind, with your mouth hanging open the whole time, awesome, thank you

[@scetchport]

Exquisite ! Please produce more along these lines. Civilization is imploding as we speak but the blind cannot see.

[@ellenlandowski1659]

In antiquity .. Hords took down civilizations.

[@milktonfang]

think the idea is, learn to survive by co-operating within your means, but get too greedy, and look what happens, over population, all kinda made sense, great video btw

[@pauldavey]

I normaly skip these animations.but this one was just unique from the start. Well done all involved.

[@Bibibosh]

I used to love watching short movies. But that over 10 years ago. I just don't feel it anymore.

[@skiptindle5976]

Sums up mankind to a tee. Great art, great sound, had me for every second.

[@dertigerbauch]

This is my favourite short so far. Philosophically sad conclusion of the life cycle of our kind, human mankind. Wonderful piece of art ♥️

[@geeksbingo5854]

Simultaneously wonderful and heartbreaking.

[@mrlightseeker2556]

Deep meaning, immersive from start to end. Rise and fall of a species, when it over-consume with greed...

[@namjookim998]

I realized This is exactly how l've viewed the world but too ambiguous that I couldn't express in any lanquage, any word. It turned out The language which could express this abstract nihilistic idea was Gökalp Gönens' film. Thank you. Now I can say to my parents and my friends "This is how I feel about the world." just by sending this KZbin link.

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

What an incredible masterpiece it is! When it ended I hoped it would continue! I so hope for more episodes set in this world! Great everyone!

[@tjlambaes]

Watch it from the beginning that is the continuation.

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

@@tjlambaes yes I know! You get into an endless loop!

[@tjlambaes]

@@PrimitiveInTheExtreme It’d be cool if they put multiple cycles on like a 10 hour loop, thing is every time the cycle ends the board gets a little bigger. I feel like that is how humanity has been going all this time. We eat each other to raise our position and as time goes on there are more and more people consuming each other.

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

@@tjlambaes excellent analysis. I agree with it.

[@Calaban619]

When board games go just too far.

[@landru27]

There comes a point where you realize this is going to cycle endlessly ... and that point is at about 1:24.

[@jeremiahcornell4185]

awesome, concept to execution, morals, ethics, behavior, consequences. thank you

[@80ngo]

Excellent work! Animation style is very thought-provoking. I knew from the beginning it was going to be a cycle, but it didn't detract from the journey at all. Really enjoyed it. Did wonder, if you put a part of the creature through the door from this side, whether the hole in the door would close up, in the same manner it does for the creature. The hunger is real!

[@carolinekelly1769]

And the end is just as the beginning...perfect representation of mankind...well done!

[@gustymaat7011]

Sound was amazing.... life feeds on life feeds on life.... and the sound details are perfect

[@deano43]

Glad this wasn’t a KZbin short, it would of looped for about a month. Love it.

[@Gammadel]

Very stunning visually and the sound effects were intense. If someone said "what is detailed sound" this short film would be the answer.

[@PACHOUSEFITNESS]

That was actually good. I like the way the twist at the end actually tied in the story and answered a question from the beginning.

[@raphlvlogs271]

the best thing about this video is the sounds

[@elfranz]

I love circular stories, totally nailed it!

[@andrewvarcoe4741]

Wicked short, not for everyone expecting a "normal" short story, really cool.

[@blismwithmyblizblop]

That was so Awesome, what a Journey! Full Circle! Well Done❤

[@moscos9965]

I think It is an insightful work that conveys a concise and clear message that well expresses the desire for possession, honor, and dominance of humans from social engineering, religious, and psychological perspectives.

[@tallmanec]

I love the imagination in this piece. it's like an experiment created by a intelligent species. I wonder what lesson or message people got out of it🤔

[@radioworld857]

none.

[@gedece]

never mess with the ability of a species to reproduce.

[@ZonHed]

History repeats it self

[@icheckedavailability]

There are actually enough resources, the source under the platform replenish itself, if they didnt fight, they could have food forever

[@bjb7587]

@@icheckedavailability reminds me of an old movie called "Oh God". George Burns plays the Almighty. At one point, he says, with some frustration,, "I gave you everything to make it work".

[@reynalindstrom2496]

At the end I felt so scared,so sad and alone like the guy in the Edward Munch's painting The scream.Amazing short film!😱 Love from Sweden 💛💜

[@junglejon74]

This is one of the best things I've ever seen. Amazing.

[@thezuguprojectANTHONYALBANESE]

Wow, that was brilliant on many levels, the animation was stunning as well:)

[@FlemNmzzzz]

Masterfully crafted, very well done. This was a complete viewing experience. The concept, not being unusual, was still assembled extremely uniquely here.

[@juandeabasolo7297]

Man eats man...our future or our present?... good job asking this question.

[@YogiBear001]

A whole lot of words for that short film that looked to me that he was coming up with but was unable to still find that one thing that made it complete.

[@stuartmalin661]

Super cool. Great conception. Excellent execution - imagery, cinematography, sound design. It is the nature of life. Forward is the only direction.

[@josepha5685]

What a lonely world this is. I feel that this is where our future is heading. Great Story and Animated carictors. Thanks for sharing 😎👍❤️

[@matbrady123456]

Very unique art direction (rare). Impressive look-dev. Refreshingly new, well done.

Thank you for this marvellous movie!

[@wouterventer4732]

Simplistic masterpiece

[@Legna1826]

Wow! That wasn’t creep all.😵‍💫

[@NaridTheNighthunter]

The newcomer does not know the past, and is doomed to repeat it

[@blacksiddha]

Fantastic portrayal of humankind and society... full marks. Was engrossed from second no.1

[@okancanarslan3730]

excellent video about survival, death and primal instincts

[@kshitijtotare679]

Truly masterpiece… just myself watching it…

[@JoshuaHowley]

What's happened before, shall happen again. Very well done.

[@wideawake5630]

Excellent imaginative work. To me it spoke to the many cycles of civilizations emerging and self destructing. We must break the cycle by eschewing violence.

[@TimmyMoza]

Amazing story. Thank you!

[@sivasankarpnair]

This is a gem among the rest.

[@Jordy120]

Awesome creation there! Keep going!

[@coreydemarce4652]

Humanity at its best! Thank you.

[@drew-shourd]

So crazy, what a great story, with an amazing premise and outstanding CGI. Want to see again with some psyli fungi.....

[@feritozanakgul882]

Great piece of short! Depicts the transformation of the main character into a "mute" form, hence the name "lal". Thanks for bringing this out to masses, Gökalp!

[@blaiseneyroud7222]

Stunning !

[@jooei2810]

It is a metaphorical story about creed.

[@lynnlenox6454]

This is one of the most FU things I've ever seen, nice 👍🙂

[@Hyakman5408]

No words...other than "absolutely brilliant!"

[@GeneralPFault]

It’s like a battle between good and evil, where in the end no one wins, then it all starts over again.

[@toupac3195]

Absolutely amazing. This is literally the story of my brain.

[@محمدبنقفوف-ص8ف]

What 😐?

[@Rakeshkumar-hb8wh]

For me... This story shows about hunger of people & for that hunger people r killing to each other .

[@alimente5782]

Hi man, this is realy a great movie. thanks for giving me a great time :)

[@victorvandenbelt2179]

Very sad. The historische of mankend so far, over and over again. Very well done.

[@Robokoffresearch]

This was one of the all-time great

[@85justsomedude]

So basically a Tool music video

[@mushishi9684]

✨🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨ Svaka ti čast Gokalp

[@universodoaliazin]

Excelent movie. Congratulations!

[@chewyz2193]

I want to hate it because it's true. Beautiful textures and well applied sound. Nice work!

[@rawthe]

Take a bow! Perfectly crafted!

[@astenolit]

Thank you for such a good movie. Well done !

[@bradleybeckham3375]

THIS WAS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

[@ДмитрийБурлаков-з8с]

Wonderful piece

[@LizCarrasco-ue5dv]

Beautiful.....and I still have hope that the deepest root of man is good....

[@paulbradley9912]

Hands down the best I've seen in ages. Totally engaging.

[@blackdogadonis]

This is the story of how our civilization is a repeating cycle of greed and war, until there is nothing left. Then, another chance comes along to try again. Yet, we don't change

[@donkenmuir9504]

This a very good film Need more

[@TropicalCoder]

Incredible animation. Incredible imagination!

[@AppNasty]

Well, that wasn't nightmare fuel at all. 10/10.

Life critique: emptiness, conflicts, and cycles to no end

[@tonyhunt9980]

Very weird, very clever, loved it ! Greetings from the UK.

[@CYI3ERPUNK]

its funny how most dust shorts you can tell within the first min or so if its gonna be a really good one or not =] , well done Gokalp =]

[@charlesburdine8844]

Interesting use of animation and general world building. I think it's a metaphor or metaphors but I'm not sure what comparison I should be making.

[@mierbeuker8148]

You can't go to pieces when things go bad. Everything will just fall apart. They need to pull themselves together.

[@MAILLADY2010]

Loved it. Thank you for making it real ... life

[@oldreprobate2748]

Well thought-out analogy. Yes it is we.

[@kalyanyadagiri26]

Hi Gokalp ! Wonderful interpretation of philosophy of cycles of tree of life 👏

[@einienj3281]

That was marvelous! Thank You ❤️

[@prahas777]

Fantastic job.

[@steves8482]

Superb and original - really enjoyed this, thanks!

[@AngryKittens]

Even in that form, I recognize ourselves. Human.

[@bookwave4057]

Yes

[@MrAlubenco]

Wow your take on Oroboros is spectacular!!! Thank you for your effort!!!

[@mioarabucur8791]

I think we need more powerful and positive imaginations. Thank you!

[@Silver_Osprey]

Wow...a masterpiece.

[@pbthefirst630]

This is my interpretation summarized by 4 ideas: The greedy and contentious nature of mankind. How trying to survive in a zero sum game makes relationships form and break easily. The law of entropy: even those who do not wish to fight must inevitably fight for their cause and are brought into chaos. The importance of using words to resolve issues. Because once you lose your voice, there is no way backward or forward. You’re stuck in place. The idea of how small and insignificant we are as individuals in the grand scheme of the universe, and the cyclical nature of life and tendency of history to repeat itself with different but same characters.

[@damedavidfrith55]

Strange but thought provoking ❤

[@buzzpatch2294]

seems things never change- very well done

[@ThousandairesClub]

*This Is Life.*

[@ieatcaribou7852]

Wow, there sure is a vast range of abilities on this channel. While visually enticing it made no sense and didn't get the viewer to feel invested at all. Lucky for you plenty of the commenters are young film students who never give good feedback and instead will fill this page with praise, deserved or not.

[@stevenloyer2128]

Beautiful. TY :)
