More About "Webcam":
WEBCAM follows James Mann, a distraught man who thinks himself alone amidst the aftermath of our world’s downfall in the not-so-distant future. He lives a solitary life within a sealed bunker, taking refuge from the ravages of a world run amok. James’ only companion is a small, artificially intelligent camera drone named WebCam, ironically without purpose in a world with no one left alive with whom to communicate. Forlorn and losing sight of his reason to continue living, James prepares to make the ultimate sacrifice…until at the last second, WebCam receives a signal for an incoming transmission. There’s somebody else out there…or is there?

If you were the last person on Earth, could you live without love?
Love of/from God always there... your overruled
I probably could. But i couldn't live without croquetas for sure
Hard question to answer, I've been married for 36+ years. It's something I may have to face if my husband pre-deceases me. Of course I wouldn't be the last person in earth.
@@joestitz239 you shouldn't judge people, you know! I believe In God and so do you apparently.... No one knows how lonely he is. No man is an island. By the way the number of people who feel alone, despite living in huge cities, in skyscrapers is huge. No one socialises no more. The number of people who take their own lives is increasing. Check the data from UNESCO and WHO.
Yes, but who would want to.
Wow, it's been a long time since I've seen such an exciting story and thoughtful production.
Thank you, @smoolwilly! The whole cast and crew (WebCam included) poured their hearts into it!
You can tell the director is just oozing with talent. He's covered head to toe in talent ooze.
Thank you, @NPRmageddon! Big fan of your podcast!
Fantastic. I was on the crowd funding team. I'm thrilled it's been made! Excellent acting, excellent writing and plot! Bravo
Thank you very much!!!!
Remarkably well done . . . one of the better productions I've seen curated by DUST in quite some time. The acting absolutely fit the compelling story, the CGI art is 1st rate, this could be extended into a series or feature film.
Since coming across this channel, I have watched several amazing shorts, with compelling story lines. This one didn't disappoint. I would definitely like to see a part 2.
Thank you for the kind review! Please let DUST know you would like to see more!!
@watchdust We need a part 2!
Love it, - in these times where so many people have their 'smart'-phones as a companion...
That’s why establishing meaningful connections is more important than ever… even with our personal floating bots!
That was really good. The development of the story, revealing of new info… very emotional. Liked it a lot. Well done to cast, writers and crew. Look forward to more.
Thank you for your kind words! Please let DUST know you’d like the next part of the story!
@@nickdelgado1687 Next part? So this is part two? I must find the first part now. I certainly hope that it is on DUST
Would LOVE to see the next part. Truly excellent short movie!
@@heavenleigh111, this is part one... but maybe part two will go back to see what happened to James. Would you prefer that or would you prefer that he gets going (if he can)?
@@BlackBagData, thank you! Please DUST know!
This story resonated with me! Being lonely really blows. Thank you for the amazing story and cinematography!
@Setrme, agreed. That's why it's so great to find a community of fellow sci-fi lovers! Would you like to see the rest of the story?
World class writing, acting and cinematography. Masterful storytelling.
Thank you very much! Please share with as many people as you want. We want to tell the rest of the tale!
WE PASSED 200K VIEWS!!! Thank you, everybody for watching and sharing our labor of love!!!! We are forever grateful!!!!!
I always watch till the end just to hear the lady say subscribe to dust
I also love that part! And thanks for watching!
Finally a sci-fi short with an expertly written plot. Lotta people know how to use these toys, but they don’t know what to make with them. This was good.
Thank you very much, @hyponovalive! Please share the love with your friends!! The more views we get, the likeliest we get to share the rest of the story!
This was so good!!! Congrats to all involved! Bravo!
Gracias, hermano!!! Te queremos!!!
Some really beautiful images here. i love it so much and am very compelled by it. DUST has a new subscriber. the pull out from his kneeling form to reveal the ****SPOILER***
BIG BEN in ruins
***Was really epic and genuinely moving. DUST, I need the next installment!!!!!!!
Thank you so much! That shot took a LONG TIME to get right so thank you for appreciating it! And yes, please let DUST know you would like more!
Was good up til the end. The moon isn't zero G. If she is the last woman on the moon, what was the deal with the train?
This is my speculation. The city on the Moon seems like it was built and maintained by AI controlled robots in anticipation of human habitation before a natural disaster occurred on Earth. Being that woman on the moon was the last human being there, there may have been a colony of other humans on the Moon that oversaw the city. But they decided to return to Earth to be with their families and friends. She stayed on the Moon since she had no one to return to on Earth and wanted to continue development of the city in the hope there would be an effort to get some of humanity off Earth before the natural disaster occurred.
I agree though about there being no gravity on the Moon.
The train just got powered up alongside everything else she used to show him she was on the moon. It doesn't require there to be others.
We are working on a longer tale and some of those questions might be answered!
This brings up an interesting question: do you prefer your sci-fi more fantasy-like (Star Wars) or more science-factual (Close Encounters)?
@@nickdelgado1687there's room for both given how little we understand about physics and all the possibilities
Lachman is Angelic... such a great short, with an easy opening for more episodes. This would be a great 'quest' series!
Thank you, @michaellee6489!! Quest tales are my favorite kind of tales so you're talking our same language! Please let DUST know you would like to see more!
Will do
@@michaellee6489 thank you!
Yeah being a prisoner to a tech company what a quest.
I love the slow tracking motion at the end to reveal the reality on the moon.
Well executed, well done.. 👏🏽
Thank you! Please share with your friends!
I feel like I'm super late to the party. Found this as a movie recommendation online. I like it a lot. I was so tuned in, I didn't even realize it was about to end! I wanted more.
Thank you very much! Please share it with everybody and let DUST know you want to see what’s next!
Great storyline and acting. The Graphic FX were extremely well done. Would love to see a continuation...
Thank you for your kind words! Please let DUST know how much you liked it so we can make the rest of the story!
This is most excellent, best real scifi I have seen for years, Great Actors, the cute computer probe, very well done
Thank you, @davidknight1331! Would you like to watch the rest of the story?
Excellent short! However, it definitely needs to be expanded to full length since it raises more questions than answers. 😀 One minor touch I really liked was the method Webcam uses to create a 3D image. Anyway, I wish future success for everyone involved!
Thank you, @bbartky! You're absolutely right; we wanted to plant all these ideas and questions, which would be answered with a longer tale. Please let DUST know that's something you would like to see!
THIS IS AMAZING!!! One of the best on Dust
Thank you, Ben! Please share with your friends!
VERY good story. Quality special effects.
Thank you, @Rippypoo! What was your favorite part?
Brilliantly written and superb acting
Thank you. We made it to share it with you!
Really enjoyed this, thank you! 😎
Texas
Thank you, Texas! Please spread the word if you think of someone who would love it!
Oh, man, I loved this story! It is fascinating,magic, a true Sci-Fi lite gem. Would be a tremendous full-lenght feature movie.
Thank you! Please share it with anybody you think would love it too!
Excellent as always. I Love DUST.
Thank You & Best Regards.
Thank you for your comment! Please share with all your friends!
At least a dozen plot holes, but that's pretty common with shorts. Nice production. Also: Sierra!
Isn’t she great???
@@nickdelgado1687She's wonderful. Don't often see such talent doing shorts. Good catch.
like hazmat suit with no gloves?
@@andylane3739 he wears them. Watch closely. ;)
Excellent. Really good actor's. Was able to connect with the story. Wish it had been longer.
Let DUST know that you want more, please! We are excited about what's next for James and WebCam...
That was the coolest short ever. Wow.
Thank you, @AppNasty! Please spread the word and share!
Excellent!!. Want to see more.
Thank you! Please let DUST know! And share witj everybody you think will enjoy it!
Excellent. Fantastic work.
Would be great as a mini series.
Please let DUST know you would like to see the rest!
I’m so glad I could see part of production! All of the crew was really nice and worked hard. So I’m happy that it’s finally out! I hope someday we can see this turned into a feature length film, to see what happens to James.
Thank you for your moral support through the making of it! What was your favorite part?
You’re welcome.
Hmmmm, I don’t really know I liked it all!
@@Chaos.Creates, I’ll take that! Share with your friends and show Mamo!!!!
Wow, the production in this short was amazing all of the special effects were top notch. The story was fantastic! I would love to see one where they figure out how to meet, now I just found your channel so there might be an episode like that. I only have one critique, I would love to see more shorts and content in general without language, that way I can share it with everyone I know, but other than that it was an awesome short :)
Thanks for your feedback! Please let DUST know you would like to see the rest of the tale! Some parts have barely any language so you will enjoy it. And please share it with anybody you would like!
Really great writing and acting. This is the first film I'm seen that gets the subject of a world that isn't worth living in, right.
Thank you for your kind words! Would you like to see the rest of the story?
You bet, is there part 2.
@@user-qk3sc8rq9r only if DUST wants so please make sure you tell them!
Love it! Thanks
Thank you for watching! We made it so our community of sci-fi lovers would love it!
Finally a good new video on dust. Been too long
@eclipsestorm1975, thank you! We poured our hearts into the film so your comment really touches us. Would you like to see what's next?
Profoundly Epic... Awesome short. Just like the short Outpost
Thank you!! I know the filmmakers who did Outpost and they are awesome!
Wish it was longer. Very nice.
Please let DUST know you’d like to see more!
Great acting, Great production. All round great movie. Well done.
Thank you, @roccov3614! Please share the film and spread the word!
This was excellent. So good.
Thank you! Please share with your friends!!
That was powerful....... Demanded my attention throughout and left me wanting more.... Time to research the creators other works🤔
The actress is from "altered carbon" - a superb Sci fi series if you haven't seen it.
Dichen Lachman! She was also superb in Dollhouse and Jurassic World: Dominion. Look out for her in this year’s Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes!
Awesome very intriguing I loved every minute Thanks so much
Thank you, Sue! Please share with all your friends! The more people watch it, the more likely we get to share the rest of the story!
I haven't been surprised in a long time. That was great.
Thank you, your reaction has made us very happy! Please share and spread the world!
Excelente, buen historia, bien actuada y dirigida, y lindos efectos especiales, felicitaciones.
Muchas gracias, @willisman! Por favor comparta con sus amigos y todos aquellos a los que le puedan gustar!
that was impressive, many thanks, regards from london
Thank you! Please share with all your friends so we can share the rest of the tale!
Best short I have seen on UA-cam, and I have seen many. Perfect CGI, and of course, real acting. Could evolve into a much longer storyline. Great work! BTW, you know there is gravity on the moon too, right?
Thank you! Please let DUST know you want to see the rest of the story! You might get an answer to the Moon’s lack of gravity question….
@@nickdelgado1687 It obviously still has a lot of mass, so it must still have gravity.
@@Scud422 you’ll have to watch what’s next to find out what’s happening up there!
I agree a lot
Thank you! Please share with your friends!
I like the concept of the story. But I have to ask a question, does the crew that worked on this film know that there is gravity on the moon?
They sure know. But maybe that's a clue that something may not be what it seems. Would you like to see the rest of the story?
@@nickdelgado1687; Yes, bring on more episodes. If she's not on the moon, then she's either in orbit or in interstellar space.
@@gerstmanndavid, please let DUST know you would like to see more!
@@gerstmanndavid Is that what she's supposed to be ?, I was wondering as she said she was real . So I guess she's in space somewhere then .
Yeah, I was wondering about that too.
Beautiful.
Thank you! Would you like to see more?
beautiful is an understatement. cant wait for the follow up
Thank you very much! Please share with all your friends!
Alarm beeping!!! The bots and Joel/Mike scream " We have movie sign!!!"
😂!
But she's not evil
@@pnemonic, or maybe she is… you will have to wait and see if you want yo find out!
It’s an awesome vid! Well worth the watch!
Thank you! Please share and spread the word!!!!
@@nickdelgado1687 I will, this is awesome
Love the twist ending!
Would you like to see the rest of the story?
Absolutely! @@nickdelgado1687
He has real nice teeth for someone living in that environment
There’s an important lesson there: do not neglect your oral hygiene in the post-apocalypse because there are no dentists left!
Instead of making him think about death. She made him think about life and Hope
I love the post-apoc genre but it's usually a downer. I wanted to tell a story about hope set in that world so very happy that you caught it. Would you like to see more?
@@nickdelgado1687 most definitely you need to continue this we need more films like this., that give a sense of hope . something to hang on to when everything is falling apart. I've been a dust fan for years this is one of those films that make sure you cry and at the same time gives you a reason to look forward to another day . I will be very curious to see how they would ever reach each other. You left open so many possibilities and if I can quote Starship Troopers" would you like to know more?" My answer most definitely is yes more of this please
Cool flying camera.
Wow, that was a great short! Love it!
Thank you, @AcapulKero! Please share with everybody!

@@phillipthomas-sam1509 thank you!!
@@phillipthomas-sam1509 your support means the world to us!
Inspiring short film.
I don't get that ending. Last man on Earth, doing what exactly? Reporting to whom all this time? And then she says she is the last woman on the moon and that she will be waiting? Just how is he sposed to get to the moon? Also, she, the last woman on the moon, has just been ignoring his transmissions all this time? Who is still running adverts to ignore? So many questions.
Would you watch a longer piece that addresses and answers your questions?
Possibly @@nickdelgado1687
She is not human. A construct. There is no answer to that moon based city and monorail tho.
@@timloeb278 you’ll have to see the rest of the story to find out if she’s who she claims to be, and what’s happening on the Moon…
How did he find a gun in a water world trapped on a platform?
Maybe we will see how in a later installment... Would you like it see more?

More of this story! He needs to get to her moon base! And of course his round robot needs to come too. I had this vision of those two like Adam and Eve and they need to make little seedlings if you get my drift. He’s not only good lookin’ but his acting was superb.
We will let Drew know you loved his performance!

Mostly the interaction between the James and WEBCAM . Little guy just oozing care and concern and very persistent adding cute humor during James dire situation. Thanks @@nickdelgado1687
One hell of a twist
Thank you! Please share with all your friends!
holy shit lmao the people who run this channel LOVE death stranding haha.
thats awesome though, (welcome to to club!)
Thanks for your comment! However this was written BEFORE Death Stranding came out (though we love the game)!
❤ for the sister from altered carbon
Isn't Dichen great? Check her out in the new Planet of the Apes movie coming this summer!
The fact that the robot doesn't have a means of communication is a pretty fatal flaw in the short. Also, there was no reason established for why he thought he was the last, and how did he get in that structure? The flooding of New York, etc., would have taken long enough that everyone would have been able to get out. Also, she is not on the Moon because there is no two-second time delay in their conversation. And a society able to build a city on the Moon isn't going to fall because of a little coastal flooding.
Thank you for your thoughts! If you could build the perfect robot yo fit your needs, what would it be like?
WebCam spoke...it just didn't speak English. R2D2 didn't speak English and he was awesome. The city on the moon could have been there a long time. Plus the trains are running, so it could be doing just fine. She's just trying to save him. We really don't know what she is or what's up with the city.
@@bigcity2085 I have that whimsical view on storytelling that you are describing but there is a more factual, intellectual approach to sci-fi. What do you usually prefer?
@@TheVigilante2000I felt like seeing the train was to prove she was lying. A white non malicious lie. Otherwise, could be a autonomous train that keeps going...that would annoy the crap out of me! Lol.
@@FoxCatSirena Same here, but look at the external spinal appliance. She was maybe not the woman he would be expecting, but then again the technology to build a city on the moon could provide many advantages. A big time difference between stuck in a flooded bunker and the city on the moon. She is likely centuries ahead of the flooded earth. A hole, indeed but that would give the writers something to spin a plot twist. I liked it and would like to see more.
Shorts ALWAYS have such unsatisfying endings.
Thanks for your comment! If you'd like to know what happens next, please share with your friends and let DUST know!
@@nickdelgado1687 another short scene indicating a way to get to the moon would be a happy ending

This is almost so very close to how I imagined it about 50 years ago. Sans the floating droid. Mine was a team of seven assassin war bots. And yes we all dressed as Samurai.
very interesting, would be curious about seeing a follow up where we explore this universe further
Thank you! Please let Dust you’d like to see more! We can’t wait to share what’s next in the story!
I am in particular curious about how the world came to end this way, how the human characters ended up where they are, why they survived but not others, whether the robots have started creating societies and cultures of their own@@nickdelgado1687
That was good. I haven't seen one that I liked for a while. So many duds.
