Mumbo!!!! Its been such a while. Hope your doing well and having a good break from all of your trouble and have a great rest of the week

It's so much fun seeing the creative thoughts behind things like commercials. It's not something you often think about as a viewer seeing a commercial, but seeing all the work everyone on the crew puts into it to making it makes you appreciate them a lot more. (And glad you're having a good time on ventures like this!)

[VeryPiroPlayer]

Really nice to see a brand as big as Razer choosing you to create their commercial

[_Not_Brian_]

the behind the scenes on such a short ad is so surprising when you realise how much effort goes into it, with storyboarding, framing, ideas, and creative solutions to challenges. it's pretty cool ngl

[TomDenisonUK]

happy to see you doing filmmaking and directing during your break mumbo! cant wait to see you recharged and back but take as much time as you need!

I have little interest or ability to become a filmmaker, but if anyone could convince me to it would be Mumbo. Something about his enthusiasm and incredible writing makes these videos so damn interesting. Now I have to go buy a camera

[kylejtam]

I had NO IDEA Mumbo was behind this commercial. Been seeing it everywhere on YouTube. I just want to say hats off to you Mumbo.

Finally my 15year old monitor got 4:3 video to watch in true full screen without black stripes at the edges. Thanks Mumbo!

Sorry, it might be personal, but everytime I see someone's houses interior and I like it, I have to mention it. And I love the way your house is decorated especially with all the plants, nice colours, open atmosphere and I can spot a nice bike. I also wanted to say that if you are ever cycling in the Netherlands (because we hsve very good bikelanes and we also have some areas with beautifull nature with nice cycle paths) I be happy to guide you in the area as I also love roadbiking.

It's so lovely to see you being so thrilled about what you're doing! I love seeing behind the scenes like this, with the explanations of what's going on!

Mumbo, I’m so glad to see you back at it man. Pursue your dreams man, don’t feel obligated to make MC videos just for us. You only have one life, do what you want with it. Your ideas for advertisements are so abstract and different from any others like it’s kind. Keep it up man!

[justissherwood]

Astounding camera work. I love listening to you describe how you set up the lights, because lighting really does make or break a shot, so it’s great listening to your creative solutions for creating the perfect shot. Excellent commercial, it’s always a pleasure to see the product of your love and labor!

[TheWizardsOfOz]

Mumboooo, this is so cool! Also those fixes are really funny. This is really behind the scenes, and really explain some of the things that has to be done for things such as movies and ads.

Also I would buy that computer.

It's so nice to hear such a familiar voice, it's been a while. Seeing you doing what you love doing makes me feel happy, I think we all need to see other hermits doing what they are passionate about to get through this dreadful week as the news about tfc is horrific 💓❤

[dukkiegamer]

I love that you shared that your first idea for the intro of the commercial was not a hit. Thank you so much

[ashspectrum]

stuck at home for a while so i thought itd be fun to binge these behind the scenes videos, and its really inspired me in my film degree im working on. i struggle with motivation often, especially with schoolwork, but seeing work come together like this really helps push me to do better and try new techniques

[graysonofthewood]

This is cool. Thanks for sharing these behind the scenes kinds of things! I love your video style and it’s super cool to see the creative process

[KutsugeMindUrmoks]

It's so nice to hear your voice! Glad to see that you are still working on something

[lexiesheikh]

I don't personally understand the filming "mumbojumbo" but I love Razer's products. 😍
