    I've noticed that several of these DUST shorts have a similar theme: One can achieve wealth and/or success, but its a hollow gain if you leave your family or friends behind.

    Too many questions. What was that ending about, for instance? What made him/it turn around? Why did the small one pull a chunk of crystal from the middle of a large stalactite when there were plenty of other loose pieces? This seems more like a proof of concept than a finished work.

    • @thhseeking
      @thhseeking 5 місяців тому +3

      He turned around because it thought that the it could hear the little one. Unfortunately, because Dust keeps shrinking the credits to flog their merch and the voiceover, you may have missed the bit where the lone robot returns to the rockfall.

      I guess it might show the concept of greed. And when running, when the little one fell behind, he didn't turn around for him, but rather run and save his precious green crystal. At the end, though it sounded like the little one made it, but I don't see how, since when the man-robot made it in the room, it seemed like it had been blocked off by the falling rocks just as he made it through.

    These short films try to squeeze too much meaning into too short a story. You can’t have the audience appreciate what’s unique about the events in your short story if there is no context to show what an ordinary day in the universe you’ve created looks like. Too many questions at the end.
    Was this their first visit to the energy cave? Does the biped have to routinely give new life to the flying robot? Or was this his first attempt? Did the flying one have no idea what would happen? Did the broken limb of another bot mean that this has all happened before? We’re they sent there or was it their idea to go?
    I know the typical thing to say to your audience is “what do you think?” But I get the feeling the filmmaker didn’t have anything substantial in mind. Just a cool scenario they could animate and provoke discussion in film class or something.

    Everything seems awesome. Except that dumbed down way how robots communicate like humans would. Understandable.
    I expected they would talk by code and no language.
    Also.
    No need to for visual cues and body language like we humans do. Machines would probably only need visual data with great zoom, focus - Whatever for better data process. They would send info to other bots instantly from human perspective.

      No need to apologize for not understanding that the creators were showing that the relationship between the three robots was like the relationship between siblings and at the same time reminiscent of the relationship between the Three Stooges. The big one sacrificed himself to save his friends and at the very end the skinny one was digging the little one out, all showing that they were more than work mates.
