@@edmondgreen7970 There's a sit-com called 3rd rock from the Sun, about shape-shifting aliens that crash land on Earth, their mission is to learn about human culture. Joseph Gordan-Levitt (Inception and Dark Knight rises) and John Lithgow (Interstellar, The Crown)
When you haven't got an idea for your big meeting with the DUST executives and you just blurt out "Post-apocalyptic alien tapdance" in panic, then your writing partner improvises.
So I'm not the only one this has happened to!! I have to admit this is a better response than pretending to die. In retrospect, saying "I've gotta take this" two minutes after dying was not such a great idea.
Yeah, this film really does feel like they started with a small tapdance troupe then went "Now what can we do with this?" xD Pretty epic result though...
"To think they all laughed when I paid extra for the internal power supply and the airtight, space-resistant housing options on the jukebox... Well! Who's laughing now?"
@TILEN FABE No, a lot of these live-action dusties are pretty dark, or at least not suitable for kids. In total, I'd judge them individually, as they are all made by different crews. Many of them are like you say stupid, but there are also gems among them that fit the SF label.
From the expression that he had when he brought something on the ship, I though it would be a skeleton or a decomposed body of a human, but it was a jukebox. LOL
I'd like to think an aliens species would find the culture of another aliens species interesting. And I'm sure there are some goofy people amongst them who would embrace our music, culture, and memes.
@TILEN FABE Who twisted your ballz bro, no reason to be so negative :P Have faith in the fact that as humanities overall consciousness continues to rise more and more beings will begin to see through the illusion of separation.
@TILEN FABE Hold that faith and be blessed in these trying times, we are all gonna make it as best we can in this crazy world, and we're going to do it through lifting each other up. Much love to you my brother.
I have seen this so many times, over and over. It never gets old. And how fitting the last song, "After you've gone," to be played as a destroyed floats by.
I imagine I'm 2 years too late to be asking this, but can we just get a whole series like this? A crew of aliens seeking to preserve human artifacts and getting into fun shenanigans with them?
wonderful, first time I have been moved to comment on a Sci fi short, usually drear, depressing or promotional. This was joyously entertaining and yet still got its message of human stupdity and creativeness across. Tyler Rabinowitz deserves an oscar! More like this please.
I'm not an overenthusiastic fan of tap, but you guys managed to keep my attention and my amusement at the same time! You also paid proper homage to the films of days gone by at the same time. Kudos to you for that! I also loved the language of the aliens and the entire concept, really. Congrsts to all involved!!
That is a SUPER jukebox to not have a scratch & work beautifully through the destruction of earth & not being hit in space! 😄👌 The plathera of tap shoes was an epic touch to make the aliens simply enjoy all these "noises" like us humans once did. This was an absolute pleasure to watch! 😍 I only hope when this happens, it would be similar - the desire & passion to learn & understand us & enjoy such beauty from man & Earth & not just text book understand us.
@@Scott-vx2ks You've got a problem with rap? There's ritme, poetry and truth to be found there as well. People like Snoop dog, M&M, Dre Dray names like that deserve the recognition they get for being among the greatest musicians of their time.
The same with me too! And there is also something special about the enthusiastic appreciation shared by all the "Alientologists'" fans here for this gem.
I tend to be very critical. This film is superb. My only dislike is the inability to find anything to criticize :) Simple, elegant, timeless yet if you think, very deep. Has been awhile I don't see something this original also.
@Lucian Popa Ok. to each his or her own, but I just found this an adorable and quirky story about how joy could be found in the most alien, innocuous mundane of things and in the most unlikely of places and how that joy ultimately is infectious if given a chance to be, very similar to how this video was to me and to all that I shared it . I'd be very interested if it's legit, why the down vote though.
@@rondumason4756 yeah i agree .. i was thinking the same thing .. its not to everyone's taste , me I don't like jazz music or blue aliens but its not worth a thumbs down thats foir sure . I give most of dust and omleto thumbs up . the creativity thought and effort that goes into these short films is phenomenal. and deserves more encouragement . if something is really really crap i will thumbs down it , just to add to the warning for other viewers to watch with caution . if its just not to my tastes it gets no thumbs . but this is worth a thumbs up for sure
@@MarkVartanyan do you mean the acting? The writing? The art design? Clearly none of it is Scorsese-esque but it does a cool job at telling the story and getting its point across.
Wonderful video. Absolutely brilliant to work tap dancing into a Sci-Fi short. The song the aliens were dancing to was "After You've Gone." It was originally recorded in the 1920's in the slow version as played in the video. A faster version was recorded by Jazz groups like the Benny Goodman Trio.
Amazing enough, this song was made even before that: in 1918, the song was composed by Turner Layton, and the lyrics by Henry Creamer. It was made for the soldiers who were fighting in The Great War, as, according to the lyrics (this is just my inference), it’s about a soldier who’s wife back home is cheating on him, and it talks about how she’ll basically regret it and die with a broken heart, just he currently was after hearing the news. I think I may have killed the mood, sorry.
Despite the earth is gone and destroyed this is a beautiful video. My grandpa used to tap dance. Music will always live on This short should have A LOT MORE LIKES!!!
@stufaman I understanding it fine you condescending goon.I just happen to think its garbage ..... let me explain in excruciating detail exactly why. Basic premise is that this highly technological race discover, earth artefacts and are utterly incapable of using the science, technology and deductive logic inherent in developing the technology that has allowed them to achieve this feat to analyse said alien artefacts. See the inherent FLAW in these kinds of narratives??? In developed scfi circles this is know as the "Stupid Aliens fallacy" ... though i shouldn't be too critical since its a staple of low brow mainstream scfi. Lazy unimaginative writers create aliens with just a little less deductive intelligence than they estimate their target audience has ... hence the prevalence of "Stupid Aliens. (and yes i know now i am the one being condescending guess am kind of triggered at this point) Seems a pretty silly and obtuse way to make a tap dancing short. I enjoyed the dancing the rest was junk.
It started out like an episode of "Hoarders: Alien Spacecraft Edition", then turned into "Chorus Line, by Blue Man Group" Cirque du Soleil could build an entire Vegas act around this wonderful movie premise!!!
Whenever I need a good hearty laugh, this one does the trick. It makes me want to put on my tap shoes. Feeling depressed? This will make you feel sooo much better
I saw this months ago and loved it. It popped up in my recommendations again and I loved it every bit as much as the first time. This is an absolute joy to watch.
I know I'm 4 yrs late on this as I only just found it via another Dust film, but had to say that's not quite true. I haven't watched much if any of Dusts' shorts since about 2020, but in 2019 they made a short film with Timothy Spall and Jessica Ellerby called "This Time Away" that is absolutely lovely from start to end. Whether you're like me and have gone through the loss of both parents, or if you were ever a "daddy's girl" and that bond got lost over time, or if you just need a pick-me-up after a bad day, you won't go wrong watching this. Granted there are no jukeboxes or aliens tap dancing, no brightly coloured Crayola crayons or neon pink bras ... but I'm sure you'll enjoy it nonetheless. And don't just take my word for it - with 9 nominations and 4 wins across 2 countries I'm clearly not the only one who thinks it's worth every moment of the 11+ minutes of time spent watching it (it's 13 min with about 1 1/2 min of credits).
Wonderful. This was the first time I watched a 50's comic dance musical that takes place in outer space after an apocalypse. This is what I call creativity. There are not enough words to thank someone who can invent new things at a time when everything is just one more dose of the same thing. The movie also seems to be a love affair with music and in that it is not new, but it is never too late to repeat how fantastic the music is. Unfortunately, music and creativity do not seem to be enough to give us judgment, as some prefer to spend their time setting fire to the Amazon rainforest rather than listening to good blues.
@@wideawake5630 you're right, and besides, you caught me in the act. I'll let you in on a secret: I'm a terrible dancer. I already tried and I was ashamed, but as I was not convinced, I tried even more and with greater dedication and I was even more ashamed. So I pretend that this beautiful lady called dance doesn't exist, not because I don't like her, but because she doesn't like me.
This gets an emphatic, almost tearful thumbs-up. Whoda' thunk a post-apocalyptic, human-extinction premise would make for such an uplifting sci-fi short, albeit tinged with the sad wonder of a civilisation that shared such arts and joy, yet could not find the common ground required to survive each other? What's more, what a wonderful and captivating bit of tap that was. I was hooked from the start, and smiled broadly throughout. I am glad that my expectation of a downer ending was frustrated- this made my morning. Very well done to this production, and thank you. It's the best Dust short I've yet seen.
@@BlueWater479 Agreed. I seem to recall I thought much the same, but dabbled with dramatic licence all the same. The items seem to date the event in the not-too-distant future, too. O.O
I thought it was really clever and funny until I realized at the end that we’d apparently blown our planet up. Then I realized it’s clever, funny, and sad.
Hmmm. I interpreted it as this species' way of doing alientology. They destroyed the planet to make it easier to study the culture. At the end the main character was realizing what he'd done.
Learn instantaneously how to tap-dance. Predict the music's structure. Those aliens are definitively superior beings. But they can still act stupidly. Like humans do. I don't if it's a good news or a bad news for us... Nice and funny short by the way!^^
@@louiehorwood660They are not dumb, too not know stuff like that when they study things would be weird, like when we find things from the past we have some clue about what to do with it too.
Just found this at 4 in the morning. I've liked quite a few of the short films Dust has, but this one is just became one of my favorites. The interactions between the cast and the simplicity of the set made it for me. And I enjoyed the complete lack of translations. Great job and a huge compliment to the cast and crew on this one!
Absolutely love this! The emotions portrayed by the actors using only facial expressions, body language, and vocal tonality was simply beautiful. VERY well done :D
still my favorite Dust short film of all time. i come back to watch it every now and then while waiting for more. I'm obsessed with Dust short films!! This will always be my favorite one!!
Ha, ha, ha I love this "Alientologists" DUST you are GREAT!!!! And the dancers too. Look that the aliens was us in the future. Very well done, actors ,music and the fx.
Not really. Music is basically vibrations in the air molecules, and we have an apparatus that allows their interpretation. An alien that grew on another planet, under different conditions, might not even have an ear, and if it does, our music will sound completely different for him.
@@Zamolxes77 True, for all we know, other alien civilizations' music might manifest in the shape of electromagnetic waves, or it might be acoustic like ours but lie in a completely different frequency range than is considered pleasing to human ears.
I'm crying! This is absolutely beautiful! I loved every second of this! One of the best sci fi short films I have ever seen!!! How I have not discovered this sooner is beyond me but I am so glad I did and thank you to the people who made this master piece 😍
I can imagine the pitch meeting for this. "Picture it. Alien junk collectors that also happen to be high level tap dancers." Seriously though this movie was so charming and light hearted that I didn't even stop to wonder what destroyed the Earth in the first place. Just watching aliens jamming out. Good stuff.
this is by far the best short I have seen across the genres yet, funny, wonderful, filled with wonder at the joy some simplicities can bring and even a little shock at the end when we realize what has happened ... terrific work (10 out of 10 as far as I am concerned), thanks for the upload
I must have watched it over a dozen times during the past month ;) so many times that I started to notice a few mistakes in the assembling of the scenes. It's really genius, I love talented low budget shorts.
I think the (made-up) moral of the story is that you can study something so seriously, but we need to be reminded that it’s also worth enjoying the process
I was reading the comments, what wonderful things people have said that has summed up what this “vid” brought me, and amazing the comments were generous and positive. You young folks really made a winner. Be proud, y’all brought out the best.
I ... LOVE ... IT !! Brings back those Christmases with Fred Astaire-movies on the first summer-day in April !! Please accept my thank you's and may I humbly stand tall and applaud for you 4 !!! BRAVO !!! BRAVO !!!! BRAVO !!!! BRAVO !!!!
A lot of peeps are talking about the ending, the meaning, etc... And here's me thinking it's one of the most delightful, imaginative well-done videos to come along in light years! Watch it every time Dust runs it on TBD. First real LOLs come (every time, too) when the jukebox appears! I may be relatively new to this but I know I won't tire of it anytime soon! Give all the creators and 'stars' my thanks for the joy!
Next teleport .... Christopher Walken. “Babies ... I got a fever.” Throws them a cowbell. Fantastic short. Smiling the whole time here ... on the part of the Earth that’s still intact.
“Hey Tom I need 3 pro tap dancers that can act”
“Sure what’s the film about?”
“Sit down.....
I mean there are technically no words to be said convincingly.
The only tapdancers that exist are actors. The only people that like tapdancing are people that studied drama.

Ok, that's charming, and much lighter hearted than most Dust shorts.
Which is saying a lot for a film that started in the shattered fragments of the destroyed Earth...

I was just thinking about Mia and Sebastian's theme playing at the end when he sees all the artifacts and earth destroyed. Epilogue version.
I have seen this so many times, over and over. It never gets old. And how fitting the last song, "After you've gone," to be played as a destroyed floats by.

Same
Me too it was fun, I keep thiniking they would pull a human body in and reamimate it

4 Years late now and still seeking the same. I believe Netflix or Amazon would buy this for their service.
This makes me unreasonably happy. This is how we should always imagine aliens; intelligent, curious, little shits just like us.

These aliens are definitely smart and humanity is dumb: they became professional tap dancers in 3 minutes
I like to think that these aliens were like, “This extinct ‘Hu-man’ race also has tap dancing! They were just like us!!”
@di rogue And great ones! ; )
That or tap is much easier than they make it look...
And instantly knew how to tie their shoes!
Yes, but even still, if they ever saw video of the Nicholas brothers, their bleems would explode.
...and so you see kids, that is how the humans brought tapdancing and jukeboxes to the universe!
Yup, the world ended but it seems like the humans gave the universe something new
Penki...Not at all new. Math and Music are the languages that are universal. There was beauty in this presentation.

Then I realized it’s clever, funny, and sad.
This is why they were using the song "After You've Gone." Because we, apparently, are gone.
not necessarily
It may have been a meteorite
It doesn't look blown up, but I see what looks like lightning flashing under the clouds so I'm guessing the weather killed us off
@@tgbluewolf ah yes, the missing half of the planet and the debris remains of said half of that planet was caused by a really strong tornado
Hmmm. I interpreted it as this species' way of doing alientology. They destroyed the planet to make it easier to study the culture. At the end the main character was realizing what he'd done.
I love that tap made it into a sci-fi film.
The Blue Man group crossed with that one Star Trek episode with the Ford F-100 in the bay, brilliant XD
Alien: Bagha kera sakre nak!
English: AWESOME SHORT!
Learn instantaneously how to tap-dance. Predict the music's structure. Those aliens are definitively superior beings.
But they can still act stupidly. Like humans do. I don't if it's a good news or a bad news for us...
Nice and funny short by the way!^^
I don't get know they instantly knew how to tie shoe laces.
@@louiehorwood660They are not dumb, too not know stuff like that when they study things would be weird, like when we find things from the past we have some clue about what to do with it too.
Maybe they were a born good dancers alien spiece, in which in there planet only survived the best tap dancers
bobiboulon I am under the assumption that this is his umpteenth time through the song
I dont see how it would be good or bad for us seeing how we were all killed by something that blew earth to bits lol
Just found this at 4 in the morning. I've liked quite a few of the short films Dust has, but this one is just became one of my favorites. The interactions between the cast and the simplicity of the set made it for me. And I enjoyed the complete lack of translations. Great job and a huge compliment to the cast and crew on this one!
Absolutely love this! The emotions portrayed by the actors using only facial expressions, body language, and vocal tonality was simply beautiful. VERY well done :D
If music is all the survives us, I say that’s a pretty damn good legacy. best thing I’ve seen all year 🎵☺️☔️🎼🎶
Amazing. What a powerful, yet subtle take on humans and our arts.
Bravo! Delightfully creative, silly, ridiculous and brilliant.
still my favorite Dust short film of all time. i come back to watch it every now and then while waiting for more. I'm obsessed with Dust short films!! This will always be my favorite one!!
I found it yesterday and have watched it a dozen times. Love it. I think I know their language by now.
Yep, this is my all time favorite Dust film. I also come back to it now and again.
I was smiling while I watched this...a rare thing these days. Until the end.
Bravo!!!!!!!!!! Loved this film. Could not stop smiling
Sci-fi can be fun too
Candice you took the words right outta my mouth. There's hope for us yet.
This film literally had me crying with joy!
A beautiful work of art!
me too!! fantastic when a movie take you by surprise like this.
Ha, ha, ha I love this "Alientologists" DUST you are GREAT!!!! And the dancers too. Look that the aliens was us in the future. Very well done, actors ,music and the fx.
Ok, this one was infectious...awesome.
"Alientologists"- a blue Man group origin story.
Morgan Freeman: And thus, the blue Man group was born.
I could absolutely hear his voice saying that very line...
Music, the universal communicator of the UNIVERSE
Not really. Music is basically vibrations in the air molecules, and we have an apparatus that allows their interpretation. An alien that grew on another planet, under different conditions, might not even have an ear, and if it does, our music will sound completely different for him.
Well whatever he heard he seemed to enjoy it!
@@Zamolxes77 True, for all we know, other alien civilizations' music might manifest in the shape of electromagnetic waves, or it might be acoustic like ours but lie in a completely different frequency range than is considered pleasing to human ears.
Me wanting to watch aliens re-discover earth:
Blue man group:
**tap dance**
Lots of fun and genuinely entertaining. Awesome.
I'm crying! This is absolutely beautiful! I loved every second of this! One of the best sci fi short films I have ever seen!!! How I have not discovered this sooner is beyond me but I am so glad I did and thank you to the people who made this master piece 😍
Can I be just like you when I grow up
🙇
It's getting easier to distinguish real human replies from ChatGPT replies. Case in point.
These aliens are natural tap dancers. It's very impressive. ;-)
what the what this was so good! Their expressions were perfect and I loved the music and dancing. So fantastic! Everything, give these people a prize
The prize was the 1950s Seeburg!!!
Usually don't like musicials. Thumbs up on this one though !
One of the most amazing shorts I've seen. Ever.
Amazing.
Had me smiling like a loon. Truly awesome and FUN!
Did I mention it is amazing?
I think this could get even weirder....imagine if they found our drugs
Ah yes
Make them do acid
"Oh look! A piece of candy!"
Imagine if they found our bubble wrap?
“Aash beau kurash ee! Nyom nyom nyom... GOLOHOLONOLOUOLOTOLOFOLO-”
Most likely it wouldnt work the same on their biologies.
Surprisingly warm and touching video.
What a delightful movie! Thanks for this!
This was absolutely amazing writing. This truly made my night.
Gene Kelly and co are smiling on this from heaven
I can imagine the pitch meeting for this. "Picture it. Alien junk collectors that also happen to be high level tap dancers."
Seriously though this movie was so charming and light hearted that I didn't even stop to wonder what destroyed the Earth in the first place. Just watching aliens jamming out. Good stuff.
I remember this from a few years back. Loved it then and love it now! Their actions the language is the best. Thank you for this amazing short
Ahhhh. being Human is AWESOME!!!!
at least they know how to tie laces on shoes.
It just goes to show, if kids don't learn to tie shoes it will be the end of the world as we know it.
@@phillipmitchell9699 uh yeah umm.. about.. that...
this is by far the best short I have seen across the genres yet, funny, wonderful, filled with wonder at the joy some simplicities can bring and even a little shock at the end when we realize what has happened ... terrific work (10 out of 10 as far as I am concerned), thanks for the upload
That was pure joy and totally made my day. Thank you !
Only three words on this one: "Much Deserved Levity".
This is one of my most beloved DUST shorts.
Love to the makers, grrd
I laughed. I cried.
Beautiful
Awesome short Dust!
8:50 Sooo...*ummm* ... Pop the bubble to strip someone of rank?
I had to see this a couple of times and I still can't stop
laughing!
wonderful.. made me smile on an otherwise tough day.. kudos
Thanks for making smile. Humor is probably the best thing that that humanity can give to the universe.
FINALLY SOMETHING THAT THEY ALL COULD AGREE UPON
This would do great as a musical style performance! Amazing as always!
I've never watched one of these shorts twice, but I have a feeling that I will watch this one several times!
Me toooooo!
I must have watched it over a dozen times during the past month ;) so many times that I started to notice a few mistakes in the assembling of the scenes. It's really genius, I love talented low budget shorts.
TheRjjrjjr. I watched a few months ago and enjoyed it even more this time around.
Sat watching with big smile on my face, lol
Even aliens can dance Better than me...😂😂😂
A beautiful job. A beautiful message.
BRAVO !!
Absolutely loved this, one of my favorites
Howed Tyler Rabinowitz find actors who can tap dance in this day n age? Great little movie, thanks...
I think the (made-up) moral of the story is that you can study something so seriously, but we need to be reminded that it’s also worth enjoying the process
I think that's a great interpretation!
Ray Bradbury would have loved this channel
Music. Still bringing people together.
I was reading the comments, what wonderful things people have said that has summed up what this “vid” brought me, and amazing the comments were generous and positive. You young folks really made a winner. Be proud, y’all brought out the best.
No that was awesome! What a great job they did on this one.
Simply pure joy, yet thought provoking. Brilliant!!!!!!!!
I ... LOVE ... IT !! Brings back those Christmases with Fred Astaire-movies on the first summer-day in April !!
Please accept my thank you's and may I humbly stand tall and applaud for you 4 !!!
BRAVO !!! BRAVO !!!! BRAVO !!!! BRAVO !!!!
A lot of peeps are talking about the ending, the meaning, etc... And here's me thinking it's one of the most delightful, imaginative well-done videos to come along in light years! Watch it every time Dust runs it on TBD. First real LOLs come (every time, too) when the jukebox appears! I may be relatively new to this but I know I won't tire of it anytime soon! Give all the creators and 'stars' my thanks for the joy!
Next teleport .... Christopher Walken. “Babies ... I got a fever.” Throws them a cowbell. Fantastic short. Smiling the whole time here ... on the part of the Earth that’s still intact.
