you guys crushed it with this one! The short was top-tier! Super inspiring!!

[Takyodor]

It would be scary to run away from a monster in a straight line, faster than the monster could move, only to realize that the monster takes a _straighter_ line through non-Euclidian space and still catches up.

Only 14 years later a company named Corridor Digital made a digital corridor

[advikshan]

After 13 years, we finally got a true corridor video.

The ‘spherical space, hyperbolic space… SquareSpace’ sponsor transition was impeccable. Wow.

Finding out the floor wasn't a floor at 9:32 was already pretty terrifying/trippy.

[noha.d]

Revealing the transparent floor with the reflections underneath destroyed my brain

[Memevze]

6:15 Best explanation I've ever seen for reaching photorealism. So cool seeing it side by side.

Corridor talking about SCP and Lovecraft makes my heart sing so much. Thank you guys! if you all got on the SCP train we could get something fantastic!!

0:39 “why is that?” well the short answer is that HPL didn’t exactly manage to get to the end cover of any mathematical textbook he picked up

Hey, i think a cool idea for another part would be a room where the speed of light is really slowed down. You could get weird effects like a room shortening in the direction you move, red and blueshift, time warping when you move, etc..

I have learned so much about cinema, VFX, SFX, cinematography, movie production, and much much more from Niko. He is such a phenomenal story teller, I enjoy watching everything that he is a part of and hope to one day be able to create such well developed stories too. Thanks for such amazing content Niko!

[DragonaxFilms]

I laughed, cried, screamed, and cheered when Niko said "This Corridor... is Digital". Bravo, Vince!

Okay but for real those gaussian splats are incredibly cool, that's some wild tech.

That ad transition was so brilliant, I had to watch the whole thing! Great job!!!

[josh]

I've been watching for 7 years, and this might be one of my favorite Corridor Crew videos to date. Good job, guys!

You’ve invented the cartoon infinite repeating scrolling background in 3d.

[ibbyseed]

The “horror” basically comes from the uncanny aspect of weird shapes just how we are creeped out by faces that are uncanny, we are also creeped out by perspectives and geometry that’s uncanny.

I really like how you marked the sponsored segment. Clearly visible yet little disturbing in the corner, with a countdown of how long the ad runs, and the time even includes intro and outro segues. Makes it easy to just sit trough the ad. If only more creators would handle it this way!

I don't even know what to say about the corridor scene, it's simply brilliant - can't wait to see stuff like this in movie productions once Hollywood manages to get their act together and start producing quality content again ;)

Ok there’s a show from 2007 that was big in the UK, might have made it over seas. While the plots don’t rely on the Non-Euclidean setting in which all the stories happen, it is present and visible in all 100 episodes.

Primarily they break the rules of perspective, permanence of scale, distance and direction are lost if you try to track where the characters are in relation to each other.

The clever part is that this entire effect is not played for horror, none of the characters observe the state reality takes, they all continue as if the world makes sense, even though an observant viewer will be a little freaked out by the glaring issues this would cause.

Oh the show’s name? In the night garden.
