In a not so distant future- a coalition of the old earth’s nations have sought and claimed the discovery of a new planet “Gaia” as the human race’s last hope for survival. However, when the human settlements rolled in, what awaited them was neither discovery nor pioneering but colonization and war against the planet’s original inhabitants. With an increasingly militaristic government that demands the settlers’ sacrifice for the good of all, one family is torn apart when the eldest daughter, Ara, questions who the real bad guys are. At a time where mass think seems to be the safest option, Ripple Effect asks us if we’re brave enough to go against the grain, and at what cost?

Thank you for watching our short film! Fun Fact. The entirety of the short was shot in front of LED screens, no green screen! Happy to answer any questions about the story or the making of :)
Yes, thank you all for watching our short!
LED screens, huh ?
Sounds complicated.
Still, neat movie, thank you for sharing it with us, I really enjoyed it. 😁
Led screens? Is that like big led TVs?
you can't just leave it there, or can you? that's not my question or maybe it is. I'll rephrase, do you plan to expand on the premise (story)
Do you guys have a channel or similar one can subscribe to? And do you intend to follow up on this premise or was this the entirety of it?
Either way, loved it and hope you all go on to create more gems like this one :)
Moral of the story : Sometimes kids really should just shut up and listen to their parents.
Its a shame that none of these shorts ever gets made into a full length movie, this would have been a good one.
I take it as there is no enemy and there never was. There is no war, there never was. They only need people to think there is. Great mini movie.
This is how a short film is done right. There's a story to hold interest, a bit of mystery of what is going on in larger story universe and a resolution that isn't so open ended as to be frustrating. I'm interested to know more of this story/universe. That's how a short should make you feel, not wishing you could get your 15 minutes back.
It felt more like a trailer to a much larger story as there wasn't really a story here...
"...a resolution that isn't so open ended as to be frustrating."
Right? Too many DUST shorts do exactly that.
I've been watching A LOT of these DUST shorts and this is the first time I am saying that THIS SHOULD BE MADE INTO A FEATURE FILM or SERIES! Not just the story, but the beautiful set design, pictures, lighting, colors, etc. Beautiful and interesting! MORE PLEASE?
Nothing like watching DUST videos when I’m supposed to be working on a Monday!
Did it for me.
Seven minutes of engaging, thought provoking entertainment, with a simple plotline holding centre stage, instead of looking like an afterthought in an overblown, poorly contructed mess of blinding lights and ear shattering noise.
Well done to everyone involved.
Really great story telling just 7 minutes! The ending really leaves you thinking what could happen next with the characters in this story. Amazing work!🙌🔥
This really has a lot of story packed into a short runtime and it’s very effective. Nice job!
The younger daughter... I keep being reminded of Summer Glau's role of River Tam in Firefly.
Except that the fate of the younger daughter will be the same as her sister. Thus the title.
Definitely didn't expect that ending. Why I love these types of shorts. They pack soooo much into a short moment. Yet leave just enough out to make your mind wonder. Excellent film.
Liked it but it isn't something unexpected. History repeats.
I fully expected it. But then I am a cynic.
I wish your films were longer you are so talented !! At least 30-40 like a series episode. ❤️❤️❤️
so proud to have our music in this!!!
Good premise. 1984 meets Starship Troopers but with a focus on family. Could certainly use some expanding, as is too often the case with Dust shorts. But what is here is pretty nice and simple.
Thank you! 1984 and Starship Troopers are great references for what we were going for in this proof of concept. I'm glad that's coming through!
Except that Everyone in Starship Troopers (the Book) was an actual Volunteer.
@@Snapper314 The alternatives to volunteering were not considered by them to be options.
How scifi should be done. Better than most full length "blockbuster" movies, which are full of glitz but lacking in soul.
Held my interest right from the start - I would like to see this continue
Simply put - this was a superb short & probably the best I've seen in years watching RUclips. Kudos, to you.
I was hoping for a few more moments but that speaks to how good this was.
The screen technique so smoothly blended, the lighting was perfect.
Great story, acting, cinematography, set design, wardrobe, SFX makeup, awesome directing! Scary story because it’s probably going to be a reality in the not to distant future! Really awesome job to the entire crew!! 🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
@Smee Self Yeah, it's only been reality since, oh, about forever. The percentage of people who have died in a war for a true cause is so small as to be negligible. Everybody else dies in wars for causes that only someone else knows. History doesn't look for real causes.
Cool - like the set design and landscapes - especially the cylindrical housing, and nice use of browns in a futuristic setting.
Excellent stuff. Great visuals, score and just enough family, sci fi and thought provoking elements.
This would be a good full length movie 🎥 👌
Or TV series
Yes! Thank you so much for saying so!
Dust is now putting out short sci-fi movies on Mondays
Is this true? Or your just saying this is a short movie
Interesting story, good use of narration to provide context and exploration of a relevant theme. I would have liked to have known more about the indigenous people involved in the fight and the impact of colonialism on them - that could have made for another perspective, but I understand time is limited and the focus on one family was the priority. Maybe a sequel showing this other perspective would be good? Congrats Hannah, Margo and Sabina on your fine work. Kudos as always to Dust for supporting film makers.
The scavengers is when you grow up and realize life isnt a story where heroes and good,selfless people win
I really don't understand how you guys make this type of short film with little views on RUclips. Judging by your content, it's impossible for me to understand that this can cover you expanses and enough profit to keep this channel running. Anyway, thanks for making these beautiful Shorts. Always was a sci-fi fan. You guys are the best.
I don't think Dust finances the entirety of all the movies/shorts presented on the channel. I suspect many of these movies are funded by other means and that Dust is a platform that helps make them available to a broader audience and that can lead to more financing for the filmmakers future projects. But I may be wrong.
It's just a stepping stone for the people who work on it, so that they hopefully move on to bigger projects.
Entertainment Technology Center at USC brought on the writers/directors and let them use their technology to film during covid. In short, USC funded this project.
Now I want a full series of this
I have to get up at 4am. It's 3 hours past the time I usually go to sleep. Love these short movies
This was excellent! Great job! Bravo!
Great plug for a series! Hope you get somewhere with it, please reserve your rights!!! Don't get railroaded.
Another excellent one. Can´t believe how much the makers put into 7minutes. '
Very strong message. I hope for more!
Thank you so much!
I must agree with many of the comments here. Great short - exploring character interaction and development. This would make an awesome series (backing up chronologically to lay some groundwork, with this episode coming later in the series...)
I need a full series
Best short. The story remembered me Seegar's composition "What did you learn in the school today?"
Stepping in footsteps in times of uncertaincies... Nice footage!
Woaah... It has the potential of becoming a full sized movie... Keep up the good work
Oooooooooooohhh yeah....I want to see the next episode please.........like NOW lol. You hit yet another one outta the park!
Wow. As an oldest sibling, this made me cry. There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for my siblings. Including stand up to my parents. It’s hard to do because I love them, but it’s worth it for my little brothers and sisters. I’ve never regretted it. Something about seeing her dead. I don’t know. That’s what it brought to mind for me. I’ve never been a younger sibling so I guess hearing it from that perspective, just made me feel.
Can't wait for part two!!!
Liked everything about this. We may or maybe not there in 30, 40 years.
Gj, this was so great! Would love to see more!
Phenomenal @DUST you have a forever subscriber (even though I been a subscriber since day one 👍🏽🇺🇸🇧🇷
Вот это меня умиляет в современной фантастике: за 66 лет изменилась архитектура, но остались прежними одежда, причёски, макияж, взаимоотношения, язык, посуда... Да и техника вполне современная. Учитывая темпы технологического развития, 2087 год должен быть от нас дальше, чем 1900.
I've watched this twice, even better the second time
OMGOSH - I rejoice that karma has determined our paths cross‼️ THANK YOU for this INCREDIBLE CREATION that you’ve wrought, from Lord knows where and THANK YOU for ABSOLUTELY SUCCEEDING in bringing your art forward … meeting Peter and/or one of Lucifer’s minions at their respective gates doesn’t scare this “s**t* out of as it used to ✨💖✨
These short films just end abruptly and make you want more... but that's it.. They will never satisfy when they're merely more of a psychological study than anything else. New concepts are needed, they're SO important in video entertainment. I mean, the psychology might be engaging to read about, but not in such a short format.
I love Dust
Me too!
And that ladies and gentlemen are what we call, consequences.
Short in time, full in senses, infinite in possibilities..
This is a documentary, not a fictional story, when you bring the year back to 2021.
The longer a war goes on, the easier it is to forget what peace felt like.
To some, anger is like old leather, after varying individual periods of time it begins to feel comfortable.
Just because a film is short doesn't mean it cant have an ending. Just once I'd like to see a short film wrap it up.
Creepy fabulous world-building. I love that one never sees the aliens or "natives" of the planet! Slick and suspenseful! Kudos!
Very nice look, good story as well. Once again proves that “youth is wasted on the young.” Very human.
Nothing I can say that has not been said. Loved it so different.
What and who are we really fighting for? Perfect!
Another great one from DUST.
i hope i don't come out offensive.
the LED screen thing sounds like a great idea, i didn't even noticed it!
but i did notice the light difference between the actors skin and the surrounding environment.
but let me also say that i would not have done it better!
the movie itself is awesome!!
hope my constructive criticism comes out to you guys and women the best way
so you people improve into Grade A movie groups
keep it up!
🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 67 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 🖤🖤🖤
A lot of truth in this I believe.
Thank you, we think so too.
Do we ever really know who, what, or why we fight? Very good job done on this.
Good Flick!! and in 7 minutes!
This need to be a movie.
Very good story. Would like to see what they are fighting for or against myself. Maybe I'll have to............
Sadly in the real world families like this one continue on their way getting richer and more entitled. They plow through the bodies and debris around them blissfully ignorant of the destruction around them. I hear it's a very comfortable existence.
Indeed. Sad but true. At 60 years of age, I have come to the exact same conclusion. This planet is really messed up when it comes to the great divide between the rich and the wretched.
As it has been in the past, in present day and well into the future...survival belongs to the fittest.
@@lastmanstanding2622 Our species hasn't been in a survival of the fittest situation for quite some time.
@@uwillnevahno6837 We never left it -- we just changed the definition of "fittest" with our tech and organization.
@@stevenscott2136 the new definition won't matter when the electricity goes out. Organization? Have you seen our "organization" of late?
hmmmm. video was posted 16 minutes ago. and we have reviews
being posted 15 minutes ago. and the video is 7.13 minutes long
interesting
People are more concerned with their opinions being seen/heard than appreciating quality content.
great story, well-executed. Shame the poster image for the movie blows the whole final reveal. Knew the moment the movie opened with the elder daughter that she ended up dead and 'Borged' at some point.

I would love to see a sequel where the son found the data his dad left for him, perhaps in the droid memory.
this actually had something akin to an ending. We found out what happened to Aura. Congrats on breaking the mold.
Eagerly awaiting episode 2 ;) .
Majestic ... I am your fan DUST
Starship Troopers meet the Forever War
So is there a part 2 because I am now fully invested
More, please!
Omg I love Dust I just wish they gave u the full story ugh!!! Lol
I'm proud of myself for fully understanding the "Ripple effect". The ending explains everything.
Great storytelling!!
Fuck yeah! Quality short. Good ending
This kinda feels like an HFY/Humans Are Space Orcs universe story. I'd love to see those produced by Dust!
Hey! someone has been reading these! Love the stories!
And I hope someone could make these as series and shorts as well!
@@CesarinPillinGaming I'm an avid fan. I just found them about a month ago. There are a few RUclips channels that narrate them really well, like Net Narrator and Agro Squerril.
They should send "this-should-be-a-full-movie" commenters to the frontline.
This one feels like a pitch for a tv show.
I'm so happy that in 2087 they are wearing normal clothing stuff......I thought people would be wearing some weird clothes....lol....btw I love this channel.
I used to think like you. Now I hope they are wearing weird clothes.
@@ronin47-ThorstenFrank lol but now also people wear weirdest clothes ...specially at Met Gala like occasions everything seems weird...I think people have reached max weirdness....lol
Just compare the different clothing styles of each individual decade. Someone from the 70s would surely say "the 50s had weird clothes" and would also say the 90s clothes are super weird. I think it all repeats, so we will wear 1960s clothes in the 2040s. I actually hope so, some look really awesome
Yeah that's true 👌👍
@@vaevobis3589 Well, one could say that Scott in Alien and Cameron in Aliens were lazy too..... :D
Interesting premise. I'd give it a chance.
Loved this!!
This was good would watch it as a full length movie or short series.
It's great to hear that you would watch it as a full length movie or short series! ;)
You guys don't fail!
Could we have more please?
I didn't realize how early I am to this! Loved the idea but wished the thumbnail didn't spoil what happens to the character :(
Does anyone else think the girl in the red top looks like Firefly's Summer Glau ?
Oh damn. This is good.
How did Ara go from being a rebel against the government to being a soldier with a micro-chip implant? Did I miss something? Or does it mean somehow the govt caught and controlled her and made her a soldier, against her will?
The chip implant... "protesters are being used for cannon foder"
@@Lmiller201 Ah, got it. Thanks. I remember that speech now.
Sh-t, she got caught, implanted and sent to the front. That’s a horror story.
MORE MORE MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's missing something. The thumbnail confused me. Cereal box?
Certified Gold!!!!!😎
I wish this could be a full length picture too
