The DUST Files "Invasions" | DUST

[@ForestGirlTeresa]

I think the last story about the light was the most incomprehensible. It didn’t put a single idea or question into my head. But the blues singer was pretty good. Nice voice.

[@josumipl5476]

Yhe only thing i was sure about, was that we don't realy understand ball lightnings, but they can hover for couple of mins. No wonder in past we called it ghosts etc. ;'D

[@veadrix]

I believe this last one had a lot to do with the end of the world or something

[@ashokwwf]

My interpretation. Those are his last moments of his life. Everything is happening in his head. His entire life is flashing in front of his eyes and the light he is seeing is the light we see before we die.

[@pedroflorencio3001]

I'm right there with you

[@davebowles1957]

First one: More! All that in about 5 mins. That was awesome! Second one: Brillant, love the premise, not same old trope, it would make a great full feature movie. Good acting. Third: Creepy weird... Loved it too. Needs more. Fourth: Sad and poetic. Beautiful voice of the young lady singing.

[@williammatthews2948]

What's the name of the song she's singing? I think it's great.

[@zethraelofteldrassil3149]

Four very different, but interesting shorts. Embarrassed to say, I really didn't grasp the theme in any of them. The descriptions didn't help either. Anybody want to throw some ideas at me would be greatly appreciated.

[@randogamerdude4483]

I second this individual

[@dn32585]

only watched the first so far but it's about clover field

[@Coolz85]

It's not you. It's them. And when a movie maker cannot relay what a story is about. IT'S REALLY THEM. Which makes it a horrible production.

[@FromilyGALinOC]

I saw the last one awhile back(they’ve all been posted before) and it’s not even really sci fi- it’s about ALCOHOLISM. The man was in the dark woods of alcohol addiction & “saw the light” and quit drinking - he left the dark bar. He asked her to come with -aka quit drinking too but she said no. She stayed and sang the song something about “a fool can see the lie?(or light) either way that’s what it’s about. Watch it again and u will see the parallels to addiction

[@johnhaverstock282]

Don't feel too bad... I seldom get the stories' deeper meaning. The movies are almost always very well done, but I'm too often left unfulfilled due to the stories' lack of resolution.

[@PwnZonePanda]

Im at 1:30 and already blown away with the quality of this. Truly incredible that this is from a youtube CHANNEL. Better than anything Disney has done these day (cough she hulk cough). Seriously, keep it up guys!

[@TaitaDragonfire]

dust channel not make those movies... they just uploading.

[@peteriskrumings8771]

I don't know who encodes these scifi dvd's to another format for youtube upload but they do it wrong. Only question is for what purpose because it does not sound good. Background music and effects channel are boosted up and main stereo channel with all the talking sounds muffled. As if they have switched places. Or the main channels are rulled out at all. If you have ever listened to 5.1-7.1ch movie and turned down 2 front main left and right channels, you'll understand what I am talking about... does not sound right... Because of that constant boosted background music and sound effects constantly overtaking main actors talking and their own moving sounds, it adds something like unwanted drama to all these uploaded scifi movies, making them almost unpleasent to watch.

[@RobertHawthorne]

The cinematography was first class. The story line left a lot to be desired.

[@cliffontheroad]

story line poor? Equates to a spoiler alert IMO. Thank you for saving me. This is not sarcasim. I dislike such flaws and hate "2 B continued" type endings also.

[@patricioestrellita2391]

36:30 I AM MIND BLOWN. Sassy The Sasquatch had the same UFO in Season 1. Respectfully, if this is not a coincidence then we humans came from something more. I dont know how clear anyone can make it but this speaks things we humans have evolved in ways we cannot imagine. If he did not run away, and consumed the orb, he could literally experience endless space and time

[@GilbertoBanuelos]

These shorts reminded me of an alien video I watched way back in 2014. I was scared out of my a** really like when content is that good. It really had me thinking about aliens again. 😅

[@MarkusFlorence]

What if the 4th short is about a boy falling into a coma after a bicycle accident... and he is dreaming and making up his own "future" as a grown up... Nevertheless, he is constantly "threatened" to wake up, seeing the "light" (or the end of the tunnel) and with the impression that his (alternative) world is crumbling apart, especially when meeting another similar victim?

[@TriniGuy19-u3i]

Excellent quality and interesting stories

[@sinan2.71]

[@sheldonhatch8255]

Im impressed with this channel so much! Im only one minute in & very shocked & extremely pleased with the quality of cinematography. F*** Incredible job @DUST. You are slaying the cinematic world!

[@AqquaTuna]

My stab at the last one: I think the guy was in love with or related to the woman in some way, and lost her somehow in real life. Hence why he's alone in a park day-drinking, then the Orb sends him to some obscure afterlife where he gets to see her again but doesn't remember her? IDK. The random home video of kids makes me think they're related. And also some of her lyrics were "A fool never sees the light" Which he literally had to get chased down by a ball of light to see her... I'm just taking a shot in the dark here don't chew me up in the comments lol.

#1, " These helicopters are costing a lot of money." " Don't worry we have a huge budget." Money runs out just as the car is smashed. #2, Big object in the sky, but life goes on as normal. " Nothing to see here citizens, move on." #3, Let's spend a bunch of money searching for something, but also we can't afford people who are very intelligent. What could go wrong. #4, What if we had a couple of alcoholics imagine something? Make it seem like it's sci-fi somehow.

[@Stephon723]

I agree with you guys with the quality of the first one. But I don't know if I will call it a short so much as I will call it An opening scene cut short. Cut scene straight to movie poster... You know, the one they'd use for the advertisement at the movies The poster for the movie that's on the wall. Or the dvd cover. Or the thumb nail. Most shorts are like an entertaining pitch of a concept. This was more like we've already got our concept. We've already got our movie We just need a sponsor to buy into it so we can finish the project.

[@RamingtonStilll-x4b]

The first one looked to be manga/anime inspired. I'd love to see something of its kind that makes me feel how I did, the first time watching Independence Day. The second short, I could take or leave, don't care for prison movies of any kind. The third looked to be The Thing inspired, sci to horror, not my taste. The last is classic paranormal phenomena stuff, almost always interesting.

Megan was cool, clearly a Cloverfield ..."prequel?" Awesome to see Mr. Slusho himself (Ganu Yoshida.) Might not click with people who aren't Clover fans. a B+ grade imo. I got nothing out of story two. Guy is in solitary, some dude with a teleporter device, ship comes and hovers, people supposedly taking things from it. Inmate admits (to no avail) that he was guilty, random teleguy shows up again, gets shafted while guilty inmate goes free. ....Ooooookaaaaay? Everything is just disjointed about it. D imo. Third one... Programmable matter comes out of an alien effigy. Cool story bro. C- imo. Fourth... Ummmm did his kids get abducted or something? Great singing, but... again, just disjointed mashup of "wat." D+ imo. This is why I'm not a fan of ET shorts. 100 questions, 0 answers. I dunno, guess I'm not pretentious enough to understand the oh-so deeper meaning🙄

[@michaellegg9381]

What's the point of the first 1? And the second 1 is confusing even though the ship arrived the world outside the prison is functioning as normal (people walking around , car's driving around , shop's doing business ect) so why was all the inmates left to die ? No guards checking on the locked down inmates the power turned off the water turned off no food ect! I don't understand why the world is as usual besides the ship but the prison population was left alone to die 😢 it doesn't make any sense.

Because it makes 0 sense unless you think that the guards are murderers and knowing quit their jobs permanently and told no one civilian or government or anyone else 😕 just to see a space ship that's done no harm or disrupted anything like power or water or Daily life.
