The VHS hack was genius. No wonder it looked so genuine. It's not a false filter, it's the real deal.

[HAAPKO]

People sometimes really don’t appreciate how difficult it is to make something on this level of realism and interest…

"We can start with a cube" says he, as he deletes and creates an identical copy. Truly a Blender Pro.

I love the eerie vibe these liminal space environments evoke and they look pretty realistic. And the clever modifications you've made to give it that little extra realism goes a long way dude. Very cool. Backroom videos remind me of movies I like such as The Cube and The Langoliers.

Dude your videos are my favorite back-room videos. So fun to watch! They hit in a way that brings together everything I love, the mystery, the exploration, the still and calm atmosphere(most the time), the unknown, the timelessness, there is no cheap click-bait to them, just intrigue and a dreamlike quality that makes them classic. Props to you!

[Tissou]

Gotta say, you're not only a genuis in 3d realistic render, but also a genuis of showcasing and mounting the video. I mean, everything is so smooth and the transistions between real and 3d is a masterpiece. Well job dude 👏

[WhiteCircle]

This is really underrated video. This quality of video is really cool. That intro was speachless. Very good job.

[Spacexislife]

Finally! This is what I was waiting for, behind the movie magic. Absolutely mind-blowing job man! You are an effects master!!!

[SonOfFurzehatt]

I came here to find out how you did the realistic camera movements, and OF COURSE there's a plugin for that.

The animation really is top-notch, so keep up the good work.

[dinosaursneverexisted]

The VHS/8mm effect is clutch.. initially watched this to see what kind of plug-in or filter you were using because it looked so good, but it looked so good because it's real. Nice

[FREAKBAiT]

Ain't no replacement for VHS than VHS itself! I also use analog video gear for my final post processing.

[ThatCubicBoy]

How dare you say that our footages aren't real!
Ok jokes aside, this video was amazing and i enjoyed every minute of it.
Plus with all the detailed explanations of every step of the video making process makes it even better.
And the way you apply VHS filters was for me very unexpected, but i think is the funniest and most practical way of doing it.
Top notch work that is very underrated, can't wait to see your future projects.

PS : a tip I can give is to put a human body/rig behind the camera to have shadows and reflections on say TVs

[heartchase]

So cool to see the behind the scenes on honestly the best backrooms videos I've seen out there.

[Transformers_nerd_stop_motions]

All of these look like authentic VHS footage! You are a genius! The part about the camera was very smart!

[commodore]

massive respect for using actual vhs distortion instead of an effect, the weird discolorations and bleeding and screendoor effect nonsense make do so much work for authenticity

[derangedtangerine]

4:05 - deleted default cube then adds in a cube
splendid

[cucothekillerofgalaxy]

These kinds of videos inspire me to be able to make a giant (but GIANT) map and backrooms/liminal space in GMOD where you can access the best-known areas such as hotels, shopping centers, airports, etc. Great job

[l.banana]

you just give me a realy cool idea for a video for a noob like me ! very thanks ( your vidéos are so good ^^

[numskullstop]

Rendering for 39 days straight is insane
I can’t help but appreciate the commitment you have to this!

[Pia-gbof]

I'm obsessed with backgrooms videos and learning right now how they are made, blew my mind
