Pete in Lincs Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Tonight I discovered something new to me. I can't find another entry about it on here so I thought I'd ask. There are a series of unrelated short films on you tube under the title Dust and then an episode title. Dust The Beacon, for example. I've watched about five of them and find them impressive. Most were live action, but at least one was animated. Have a look, I'd be interested in the thoughts of others. The Beacon was the longest I watched at about 25 minutes. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatfingers Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 What a great short film. That big plane looks like the result of a drunken encounter between a Nimrod and a Bristol Brabazon! Regards, Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the engines are a mix of types too! The live action films are well worth a look. There are at least twenty. Here's a couple I've watched already. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1SQILFvd6Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXLrNYWpHjc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenDragon Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Saw a few over the last year or two, they pop up every now and then. Haven't gone searching for them but haven't seen a bad one yet. Paul Harrison 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chief Smeg Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I think that Code 8 is/was being developed into a full length movie - this was all pre COVID of course - things may have changed now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kushan_Farsight Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 https://www.youtube.com/c/OatsStudios/videos Oats Studios is Neil Blomkampfs offshoot and creative vehicle. The shorts created here are what led to District 9 and CHAPPiE. Full of creative inspiration, well worth watching a few! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 Funnily enough I was watching a few of these last night, and they're quite good for shorts. A few left me wanting more, which is always a good sign 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoolioPaulio Posted October 7, 2020 Share Posted October 7, 2020 I've often seen the Dust films advertised, and they looked good, but never actually gone looking for them. Will hit Youtube tonight. If anyone has Netflix I highly recommend Love Death & Robots. Similar scenario, all animated shorts less than 20 minutes, each episode unrelated and by different people in different animations styles. Some absolute corkers in there, not a single one I didn't enjoy but my top three hard as it is to pick just three were probably Three Robots cause its funny, Zima Blue was just a great story, and my favourite was Lucky 13 which was another amazing story. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVoidDragon Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 This is always the first one I think of on the topic of short sci-fi stuff : They're pretty unique and interesting sci-fi plane designs, too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
