The dust, even very fine particles, is going to fall ballistically under the influence of lunar gravity, because there is no atmosphere. It clears in a second or less.

Exactly. With no atmosphere, no atmospheric suspension of dust. Each particle that is kicked up will trace a perfect parabolic path to the ground again, unlike what you have on earth. This video could not have been done in a "Hollywood studio" unless they had a giant vacuum chamber, which is ridiculous considering the size, therefore outside pressure on the structure.

I might add, a later mission-Apollo15, proved Galileo correct in his theory about objects falling in a vacuum at the same rate, regardless of mass. Astronaut David Scott dropped a hammer and a feather at the same time, they fell at the same rate and hit lunar ground at the same time. We were there.
