Sci-Fi Short Film "Reborn" | DUST

[@mattrouleau9487]

Thanks everyone, I'm really excited to see all the reactions to my animated short film! I'm glad I have the opportunity to share it with you all, I really appreciate that you took the time to check it out ;)

[@jkyang9210]

Deeply touched. Thank YOU for such a beautiful piece of art.

[@mikecheckov5365]

why didnt they just ship some seeds? why was human sacrifice nessacary? are the planet seeders satantic?

[@jkyang9210]

To a species capable of interstellar traveling, maybe that "human" is as primitive as a seed is to us.

[@SynthoidSounds]

@@mikecheckov5365 Satanic? What??? Try to focus on the larger view metaphor of the concept, and not get distracted with irrelevant religious stories and self induced details.

[@SynthoidSounds]

That man had lovely eyes. I felt very sorry for him. He died a tough death, probably thinking the explosion was an accident, not knowing it was part of the plan and never knowing that he had fulfilled his mission.

[@OUOU46]

That should be his mission.

[@babsbybend]

This reminds me of a short story I read back in the 1970s, don't know when it was published or the title. In it, the mortally wounded survivor of a team of astronauts crash lands on a barren planet and drags himself to a large body of water where he lies on his back and watches the stars as he dies, knowing that the amino acids and proteins, viruses and germs of his body will create all future life for the planet.

[@QuadKillerExtreme]

I recall a similar story, maybe from one of the old Analog magazines ?

[@QuadKillerExtreme]

Found it :-) That's Alan Dean Foster's "Gift of a Useless Man"

[@mattrouleau9487]

That's awesome, I'll have to give that a read

[@joetoner8848]

When I was a kid in the 70’s, there was so much cool sci fi shit in books & mags…this reminded me of that. I enjoyed this!

[@flatcat47]

Pretty sure it's "Adam and No Eve," by Alfred Bester. 1941 story collected in the famous, wonderful, and still available "Adventures in Time and Space." ed. Healy and McComas. The story may be on the web, too.

The way the capsule resolved the impact force was awesomely creative!!

[@jesussouless5124]

So this is how humanity is planting life in other worlds. Loved it. Finally, Something different on Dust. This is the type of sci fi films I enjoy watching. Films about humanity traveling through the universe, discovering new worlds, origins of life as we know it, creation, creator or creators of life. Prometheus type of films.

[@timothywilliams1359]

Almost all DUST films present the same bleak, dystopian, hopeless, destroyed future. They are just avatars of the same one-dimensional view of human existence. If we can no longer even imagine a place better than the mess we occupy, we really are doomed.

[@Skullblood440]

[@fingermi7571]

If we ever found a better place, we would dump our trash on it and bring our hatred of each other to it. Humanity should never be allowed to go past the Moon. This species is a virus

[@najun1verse]

The inevitably ruthless cycle of life and death does not always look pretty, and I think the creators of Dust videos like to explore the more uncomfortable aspects of existence. Many find beauty in the disturbing and unsettling qualities of this reality, pushing beyond the human need for control and “plot armor”. No, life can be meaningless and unfortunate.

A last ditch effort to save terrestrial life. They sent a crew to look for a world with a device that could recreate life....but they failed. One last planet on the list, but not enough life support for two and beyond their life span. So they had a child , raised him to complete the mission and stepped into an airlock together. The device calls to him , and he completes the mission. Life goes on.

[@davidlafranchise4782]

I thought it was quite thought provoking, the ending was a little unexpected, but the creator put a lot of work and time into it, and all of us should commend them.

[@Holo121]

The number of people missing that this was the start of a Terraforming effort that will take an exceptionally long time (longer than just one tree) is mind-boggling. This has started the process (along with the others ejected from the ship at the beginning) that will take thousands of years to turn the planet green. That's the vibe I got from it at least, I didn't take that last shot as sad, but as hopeful. Even if the cost was great.

he became a vegetable, landed on another planet then got reborn as a vegetable. The pod scene was really good. felt like I was really falling from the spaceship while I watched that part. and the landing was dope. So dope I almost OD'd. But I didn't. I watched the whole thing and was surprised that they couldn't just ask him to plant a few trees after landing. What a life. Basically life in prison then he got a few minutes of freedom, breathing air, moving around, then death.

[@CtrlAltDelite]

Matthew, interesting story. Big compliments on the ship design exterior and interior plus the reentry vehicle concept.

[@Tony-ne7hd]

This is insightful. That fungus that uses the ant. Are all life forms servants to life itself? This piece asks deep questions on life, loyalty, sacrifice and betrayal. No need for further context. Artfully done as is the cgi.

[@summers9911]

A lifetime of solitude & loneliness just to finally find a planet. Then walk a bit just to be murdered & become a single tree in the middle of nowhere.....lifes gotta start somewhere. And what about the other pods the ejected from the craft? Did he not know of others on the ship? Had he been in some stasis the entire time & awakened just b4 being ejected? Did the others that were ejected become a single tree also? We need a follow up for unanswered questions.

[@gordonmccracken1209]

passengers were isolated to perhaps prevent group thinking, questioning and research that would have likely revealed the true intent of their voyage, No outside influence beyond the trusted word of their parents and perhaps some AI version post death to provide company and reassurance.

[@MKYAlexanderSamuel]

Maybe I missed something but where in the video does it indicate that other pods were ejected from the ship and that there were others on the ship?

[@superskullmaster]

@@MKYAlexanderSamuelwhen he looks up at the ship the second time during re-entry you can see many other pods ejecting. Slow the film down if you miss it.

[@JB_68]

@@MKYAlexanderSamuel if you missed that part go back when he was free falling and it showed a picture of other pods exiting and dropping to the new world

[@MKYAlexanderSamuel]

@@superskullmaster If you and @JB_68 are referring to the blue lights, then perhaps we are interpreting that scene differently. Yes, they do seem to follow and expand from the ship's lights to a degree but to me it's a kind of optical illusion the character might see from his vantage point. They look separate from the ship but are in fact a part of the ship's lights especially when viewed with such intense velocity. The other reason I believe it's only the one pod is because when his pod was ejected, it wasn't blue like the others. Or are both of you seeing pods that are not in fact, blue?

[@richardsteele8161]

This is a chronicle of a failed experiment, a doomed mission. The desperation of those who launched it precluded them from thinking it through. One small tree does not an Eden make.

[@jamesjosephbergin822]

Ah but it does. One can find shelter from the rain or sun under a single tree. One must plant but one oak tree, or maple, or tree of your own making, and you will have shelter for a lifetime. Plant but two, and you have done God's work and created a new Eden.

[@fredkroft]

This is such an amazing movie and story. I watched video late at night before going to bed. I thought of it in bed, then at work the next day. I did not understand the ending. So, I watched it again the next night, and understood. Great movies do that. It's a bit like 2001 Space Odyssey - one has to think about it, and then watch it again. I avoid commenting on youtube videos, but have to in this instance. Well done Matt !. It's one for the books :)

[@annegreensley6691]

This was beautifully done, but was so very sad for the boy/old man and for the parents who died in space (to save necessary food/air/supplies for their child??) - the tree was wonderful but I still cried a little.

Remember, there were several pods dropped from the ship. I wonder if it was mass murder just to seed vegetation on a planet before the real colony ship showed up or was it just the old man and the others lived.

[@brandonbaty2291]

For one, I don’t see where there are “several pods” dropped. Maybe you could stretch your imagination at the part where he is looking back at the ship, but I dont think that was other pods. If it was, it wasn’t made clear and those details would be made clear in a short film. Thats the whole point. Also, who are you referring to when you say “the old man and the others”? The old man was the boy all grown up. His parents were the only other occupants in that tiny one room ball and died years prior (as shown floating together outside the window when he said they left him to continue alone). Im afraid you missed the point (and some integral details) and that is unfortunate for such a well made short.

[@Cnsalmoni]

Yes, I saw the other pods too. I was expecting something to come from that.

[@Cnsalmoni]

@@brandonbaty2291I disagree. I got the points you made, but also saw other pods and expected something from that, but perhaps it was meant to be that way, to keep us pondering…I felt there were other events that were unclear, but I think it was done on purpose.

[@jamesjosephbergin822]

Why, he knew his purpose from childhood and had the privilege of fulfilling a promise made generations before he was conceived. He was the one to finally humble God by showing that even an imperfect creation is worthy of life and freedom. The only thing that he was denied, was freedom, but that was a choice he accepted in order to send a broader message about the possible nature of life, and our capacity to choose what humanity will one day mean. I for one see a universe which is one day going to thrive with life of all kinds, and it started with a single step.
