More About "Many Moons":
2045 - NOBLE; A national space exploration corporation has spent two decades building an infrastructure on Jupiter's moons, Collisto and Europa. The eventual goal for the expedition is to build a new home for humans, using a hypothesized technique known as terraforming. A large, manned structure is built on Europa, with the aim to use the oceans underneath the frozen moon, to give unlimited power to the terraformer and create an atmosphere in a fraction of the time. The decades long mission, has so far, not given any results. The number of workers on the surface has decreased over the years, given the loss in resources and funding. One of the few remaining teams, Europa 1, are still active on the surface. They’re tasked with surveying the surrounding area of the terraformer and looking for positive results. The land has become very hostile, resulting in extreme weather conditions and sporadic earthquakes. The team represents the last hope for NOBLE’s efforts to make Europa a home for humans. John Peake, one of the 4 crew members of this team, unwillingly leads the final effort, during the inevitable demise of the expedition.

I'm very excited to see my short film premiere on DUST! It was a lot of fun to put this together and it's felt like a journey in itself. I hope everyone enjoys! :)
Congratulations. It looks amazing and I hope you get the attention you deserve.
@@fernandoangelessoto9301 Thank you, I really appreciate that! :)
i really enjoy all your work
@@tablet4170 Thank you, that's really kind of you to say! 🙌
That's so cool 😎!! I wish I could do something like that 😔
I am afraid that I did not understand the "plot". But the images and special effects are quite impressive.
There is no plot. 'Dust' is as empty as space.
@@TTTzzzz Space is not completely empty. Dust is! 🙄
Ithink its linked to the film called Europa report where the predecessors landed on the moon Europa and encountered life beneath the moons icy shell which they all succumbed to in the end. It was a good film.
Exploring a moon and he lost comms. Walked all the way back and he was left behind. I guessing here so take it or not.
Was Hellen A Robot?
A case where the production values far, far exceeded the writing skill. Gorgeous to watch (and listen to), but a baffling, nonlinear plot.
Looks good, but a shame I had to read the video description for it to make sense
Special effects, set design, and costume design all high marks. Plot unclear. Doesn't have to be crystal clear, just more structured, and easier to follow.
Beautiful visuals. Story is very unclear to me.
This looks great but I had very little idea what was going on. He was alone and wouldn't answer anyone, for some reason. People died somewhere because something they built had a negative affect. They came looking for him and uploaded his mind??
The film has potential as following along the lines of: "2001, A Space Odyssey", but falls short in it's cohesive sequential storyline... encouragement to the team putting this together to go with further refinements.
yes missing mistery and uncertainty replaced with big storm,...for now
😂
I always read before I look at a film what it’s about so I get it. With this I felt like I was there. Looks so real.
I'm very humbled and appreciative of people watching this film; thank you for all the great feedback! And to hear it's connected with people on a personal level, is exciting. For those who have issues following the plot, I can only suggest watching the entire film from start to finish, with the sound. On the surface, the narrative is straight forward; man left on the moon himself, on the verge of giving up, until he makes a discovery that gives him and the mission a glimmer of hope. The story goes deeper, for those who want to watch and listen more closely. Everything is considered; The computer screens, the props, the recording etc. All in aid of the story. Even John's behaviour is an exploration into trauma and loneliness. I appreciate this isn't going to land with some people and that's totally fine; it's all subjective at the end of the day. But it's certainly not just a visual showcase. Thank you again, I appreciate any and all engagement :)
I picked up on a lot of the small details and really appreciated their inclusion once I realized they were happening. I'll probably give it another watch or two to make sure I didn't miss anything.
Also, nice work with the music. I hope you have more projects planned.
I really like the animation in this Sci-Fi short. The overall visual aesthetic matched well with the subject matter. So on that front, job Ross and Team! I will say that, although there are enough bread crumbs to allow the viewer to piece together what was going on, I came away at the end feeling as if I didn't have all of the pertinent details to truly inform my understanding of what was supposed to be happening/or had happened, on Europa with this mission. After reading the synopsis in the video description, I have a newfound respect and appreciation towards this project's scope and ambition with regards to the story it is trying to tell. This little gem is getting added to my favorites.
"It's full of stars!" 😁
here is a plot you can understand - when I was fresh into college I was renting a trailer and next door was two teachers who were renting that trailer - so one morning - a cold morning I opened my door to get to an early class and I heard a banging on the window from the two teacher trailer and I looked over and both of them had their pants down with their butt cheeks pressed against the window - and they didn't turn around but both of them had their hands waving at me - the rest of the day was pretty unremarkable - so of course I was drawn to a vid 43 years later called "many moons"
my short would be better understood - but your short was worth it.
Excellent comment lol.
Agree with many other comments here: gorgeous visuals and music, plot too difficult to follow. Not saying you have to explain everything, but do explain some.
I think John succeeds and finds life and water on the planet.
Moon.
this was visually stunning and the sound effects was spot on, but the plot its self was weak and pretty loose. It was honestly hard to understand easily getting lost in translation. Overall this short film is good if you don't care about understanding the plot
When she told John that she thinks it’s beautiful was she talking about his clean face when he shaved his beard?
He found the water and life that Leland's crew had died trying to find. It was for them. To have accomplished that in the face of such horrors is a beautiful thing.
@@modelcitizen72 thank you
looks very cool, but sorry... didn't really understand the story...
Congrats on my seat edge@!!❤
Reminds me of my lecture once said: If your goal is of a narrative story but failed to bring the audience into it, then they often will start holding on to other things like how good the technical parts are like visual and audio since those elements are easily taking over and the audience want to find something to make sense of
Amazing! Loved it all!
A visual masterpiece!!!
Good short film in Sci-Fiction story I Dust-“ Many Moons”. So that I really like it at best!
Enormous, spectacular… there’s a million ways this could go. .. The idea in itself is astounding… Good luck.❤
this animation and overall attention to details is almost perfect!
Thank you so much, really appreciate that! 🙌
Loved the effects and music!! Good production. The plot was thin, which left it open to many ideas. I'm going to watch it again, it was really good.
I love the subtitles…..”mildly foreboding music” 🤣 thanks I wouldn’t have known otherwise
Wow, what an epic background score. I usually don't prefer watching animated movies/videos, but this score made me do it, at the instant I heard it. Wow again.
Melvin Leland. Love that guy, fun reference.
xD yes
Excellent film thank you
Everything is so stylish !
Majestic !
very much so, yes!
Excellent work. Had me hooked from the start. Fantastic visuals and interesting storyline. It would be great if it was picked up and developed into a long movie. Thank you so much for sharing. Look forward to seeing more of your brilliant work.
Nice use of Chopin
I loved the story!
Looked good. Shame i never understood any of it
Blasted Into Space
xD
Very well done 👍👍
Yes, the visuals and the music are first rate.
John, do you copy?
John: Nope, no wifi, signal lost ;(
Visually stunning and muddled plot.
"History shows again and again how Nature points out the folly of man..."
Hey...
The Forest Cat is smiling.
Thank you.

Very well done.
yes very well!
It's so cool!
soo cool yes!
Beautiful visuals. Too bad there's NO STORY.
I recommend watching the whole film with the sound on 👌
@@rosssneddon1873Still doesn't make a whole lot of sense, though. A lot of what Dust presents seem to be proof of concept or trailers for non-existent films.
I don't watch Dust that often these days because of that.
@@mykelevangelista6492Look what happens. Terrible moon surface, tremendous risk, the loss of a whole crew, a sense of painful sacrifice and apparently disturbingly futile... And yet beautiful triumph is grabbed from the jaws of utter disaster. John in his stoic perseverance finds what they are looking for.
Sensational work🎉🎉🎉
Cool visuals defo Alien 1 and JJ flares vibe. Also only realised full CG half way thru oops
Thank you, I'm a massive Alien fan, so that has made my day 🙌
Yes, the CGI was seamlessly real!
Excellent film
I thought I was on that life orb
with
not much life on that orb.
Nicely done.
Poignant touches.
agree yes !
I'm not sure of what happened when the oprator said she is sorry.
Did she abandon John after he made the discovery of water and possible life on Jupiter moon, or she was sorry for being unable to help and the truck going back without him was simply a coincidence?
This is Latvian !!!
Interesting choice if music.
thats what I thought!
Fantastisch!!!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇩🇪
I'm not sure what happened, but it looked cool!!
No story, just ”things”
hi there, did anyone know the music backgrount at the end? i dont remember the title .. its so beautifful
very good cgi
Looked great but incomprehensible.
I thought it was me !!!!!!!!!
that digital table map reminds me of the early war games on PC
Christopher nolan interstellar and Dust channel on RUclips are addictive
Um dos canais que eu mais gosto de assistir no RUclips.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
455 👍's up DUST thank you for sharing 🤯
yes thats very nice!
I love this
love this one too!
nice art work - studied from distance - not really traditional storyline focus - more abstract but enjoyable - thanks
Minimising credits to a small rectangle? Annoyingly unfair to the creators.
Great graphics. Brilliant music scoring and foley.
💯🤍👍!
this one made less sense than many others. special effects or cgi were good, but a real story line would help even though most of the films on dust end without an ending. they just stop. but i still enjoy most of them. I'll keep watching and hoping someone will put one on that makes sense and has a true ending that makes sense. Hope springs eternal. Or i am stubborn to a fault.
I have found two types of videos on Dust. The first as you described, like teasers, just as far as they could go with the resources available. But there are plenty with full stories, some even with recognizable actors.
True and many of the stories are really good. I am constantly surprised at the actors i see in some of their mini movies. I keep returning to them and i am subscribed. There are many talented people out there and this site really allows them to show their talents and share them with we less talented. So thank you all.@@bjb7587
the author knows about interfaces and GUI 😀
Is it just me, or did anyone else notice that huge font they used between acts. It was so big I almost was unable to read it.
Certified Gold!!!!!
I humbly suggest that we consider terraforming earth. We could, with effort, make it habitable. Just a thought. IMHO
Yes, this would work best if we can evacuate all humans to Jupiter moons.
2:36 Why the gun? He is the only living thing on the moon.
Is that not a mesurement device, designed like a gun (easy to use) ?
👍👍
This is what I get: he is stranded, lost and loneliness is taking its
toll.
And yet in the face of these horrors he makes his discovery and sends it out
Well that is 13 + minutes I will never get back.....nice graphics though!
Very good. Told and filmed brilliantly.
10/10.
Visually very good but i didn't get what this film was about.
Too bad there was not
more communication
between 'John' and
the other StarCraft.
Well put together as
far as CGI.
We as a species are
100 years away from
any such adventure
within the Cosmos
of the Terran Star.
Thank you
for the imaginary travel.

YEAH BABY....LOVED IT..
THANK YOU
? A common theme of the loneliness of space. Were his coms out? Is that why he didn't answer her? Or was he planning on suicide until he found water and life and the changed his mind but too late?
That's possible
Nice short.
Spinoff Europa report
What was the symbolic picture of the lady at the window there in forms of the fetus and hasn't has the picture turns ?
Wonderful acting and effects. However as noted by others the plot is weak and confusing. Some sequences of action are confusing and blurred, reminding me of the use of unrecognizable motion and objects in films in which fight scenes and violence are a jumble because that was the 'easy' way to get around showing what was happening.
No need to send humans when AI will be the best choice.
Very good. However, light in the helmet makes zero sense.
Why is it always dark in the future?
VIRGIN media Internet provider 😂
the problem is that radiation is so huge on Jupiter's moons that you would get a lethal dose in 1 minute so you cannot walk on Europa. The only moon you can walk on is Callisto, and maybe Ganymede which has a protective shield but still radiation level high but limited exposure possible
Well outside the Goldilocks zone too. Why would anyone want to inhabit the place and the answer can only be a politician that gets donations from the space exploration and terraforming industries.
as imagens graficas são excelentes, mas o roteiro deixa a desejar.
prometheus vibes
very nice
Por favor coloqurn subtitulos en español Please put subtitles in Spanish
Not sure what I was looking at? 👎👎
What’s with the logo constantly being shown?
Do you mean the chapters?
Lol ... O.o ... fictional ... I am glad it is soooooo far from reality ... it all sounds cool. But I can seriously do little other with this than enjoy myself, and it's based on the suffering of broken content. Good luck.
Mmm, that may be it. The "message" is that everything in space is futile and meaningless, and often fatal.
Dust reminds me of the WNBA.
Production and visuals are superb. Storyline is very unclear.
Ummm... What?🤔
