    Hi everyone! My name's Brian Watson, I created this film with the help of some of my talented actor friends! Thank you so much for watching, and I'm stoked that many of you like it! Let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to respond, thanks again!

      Hey that was one of the best shorts I've seen. I'd like to make a humorous not critical criticism - Jimbo seems to have mastered antigravity with the way he can lean forward and not fall over. But if that is the case, why does he need a steampunk wheel to move on? Great short! I would love to see him and Bob meet up on the road.

      Is there a way you can convince DUST to automatically enable closed captioning on your videos?
      If not, is it possible that you yourself have access to the settings to please enable CC?

      So Brian, what happened to not continue this story?... Did you give up on this one or move on to other projects?... Did the money dry up and you could not continue on this one?... Please don't leave us hanging in mid-air wondering where this continues where it left off.

    Hello Brian . This is one of the finest cgi(?) animations I have ever seen. The realistic look and feel of the sets: almost looked like stop motion with physical objects. The story was perfectly done - everything is clear without having to explain. The iconic 50’s aesthetic was pitch perfect including the “overseer” glaring down from his pole. Marvelous keep up the good work. Hope Jimbo finds his friend.

    The phrase "Children of humanity" comes to mind. This is one of the most endearingly philosophical pieces I know of. Love, curiosity, realization of one's own mortality and the desire to think for one's self, all nascent and growing.
    It is as if all the adults disappeared leaving 8 and 9 year olds to fend for themselves.
    One can imagine a future populated now only by robots where it is told: "And humans created robots in their own image"
    Award winning material.
    As Homer Simpson would say: "Six thumbs up!"

Perhaps finding these two bots shut down still hugging each other along the highway and with a few fission batteries can become a companion pair. Perhaps with the ability to repair your stuff and make stimpacks.

    So did Jimbo and Bob meet halfway, and run out of power talking about their friendship while out in the middle of nowhere? At least that's how I pictured it. Two buddies talking about the old days with the humans, and laughing about how stupid we were. Until their batteries faded away.
    Great video.

    This short story reminded me a lot of the game Fallout. I really enjoyed this. Made me think about how society is on an upwards projection of self automation, AI, robotics, yet it can be extinguished in the blink of an eye. Funny how in this world robots outlived humans, but only for so long before they died too. In my opinion our planet isn’t a guarantee, at any moment our world could vanish yet we imagine and invest in a technological world while barley paying much mind on how to protect and preserve our planet. This is my second time watching and I loved it as much as the first time.

    Hello Mr. Watson, my name is Lillian ,I'm from Texas. It's 8:52 pm , I was viewing Dust films as I mopped my kitchen. Bobs' photo popped up on my feed and I recognized him immediately. I remember this robot though it had been from several years ago right? I love this story. I believe giving our "things " names and personalities are a direct reflection of ourselves . I often have conversations with my little friends. They help me express my feelings too. I shared this film on Facebook because it's message " what is my purpose" and 'I love my friends" is meaningful. Watching your film again, I noticed Bobs' chest seemed to raise up and down as though breathing. And his breathing became faster when rolling away from the gas station searching, after questioning the others the whereabouts of the humans. And last , I didn't recall that ADA saids I love you. Very clever Mr. Watson. Thank you , your fan Lillian
