In regards to the QR code seen at the 1:59 mark: this QR code leads to a website whose domain name has expired, and was initially registered for free through a now defunct registrar. On that website you'd encounter a typical 403 server error message with one particular thing being different: a Pi symbol can be found at the bottom of the error text. Clicking on it would take you to a list of files where you'd have to solve a fairly basic puzzle and reveal a bit of lore inside the 7zip archive. I've made a copy of the site for those who are curious: vladislavzh.net/archive/xera.cf/ This ARG was created as sort of a plug just in case this video would blow up so I could expand it and build lore around it. It is now discontinued. The solution for it is deep down in the comments section.
The way he gunned it down was with the confidence of "oh hey, another one of these freaks. Glad I upgraded to a Desert Eagle last week." and plugged it with .50AE.
I like how when he pulled the gun, it wasn't treated as a "misunderstanding" when he shoot the entity Like he could've just pulled out the gun, shot the thing, nothing happens and then he dies and the camera man runs away starting the "horror" Instead, he shoots the thing and the gun actually acts useful in the situation and the dude just carry on casually like another day on the job
@removethatpfp usubhhumanssackoffshiitbbittcchh says the dude who has nothing better to do in life than to go around in UA-cam comment section and harass people for their pfp
Oh my god you actually got your hands on motion capture ! Also can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that this video begins exactly where that legendary backroom photo was taken? So detailed, dude
I love the trivialization of the "scariness" of the Backrooms. There's nothing inherently scary about the concept at all, other than the fear of the unknown. Good job on showing how mundane and boring it all really is :)
i'm surprised nobody is talking about the ending. I was hopefully someone would have a more indepth explanation lol. Like it was them at 1:09 making the decision where to go, but 1:09 didn't see 4:05. I think the horror is they are trapped in a infinite timeloop, but can't say that for sure since 4:05 ended with a cliffhanger or maybe the area they are in are either making them hallucinate or see themselves. 4:05 was my favorite part in the video tho, like just the tone in his voice, never encountering something like that until now, shock and terrified. Edit: After reviewing the ending more 1:09 camera man at 4:05 lowered his camera, so did they see each other? o_o
The Backrooms have points in which time is not linear and tends to overlap itself like a mobius strip. You can eventualy go away because you can encounter points that send you in the future or past. The backroom itself is a singularity in spacetime in which reality is progressively collapsing generating a new universe.
very well made, and feels like i missed things when watching it. i encourage anyone watching this video to watch it through multiple times. i think in certain parts where it skips or does a gltich maybe something happened to them
Нам все страшно и не понятно пока мы к этому не привыкнем. Когда долго находишься даже в таком месте как закулисье, тебе начинает больше надоедать монстры и вечно одинаковые места. В конце концов будь закулисье реальным, сотрудники после года работы там вели бы себя так же как этот весьма добрый и харизматичный человек.
Just Subscribed! Absolutely OUTSTANDING! The attention to detail. The animations. The voice acting. Absolutely SPOT ON! Loved the humour involved, and the encounter with the entity, in which it was dealt with swiftly and professionally! Will you be creating more Backroom Content?
Holy smokes that was great. While watching I was suspicious you used motion capture for your stuff finally - then read the description and got confirmation I was right. I'm sure it will open up new storytelling opportunities for you! It's a really neat video. I dig it. Did you use ipi Soft? 🤓
Thanks! For mocap I used Perception Neuron 2, which is an older model, but still very precise. There are of course certain limitations and it requires some preparation, but it is a lot better than iPi Soft. Plus having a wireless motion capture suit allows me to freely move around and not worry about leaving the recording volume. That's why I could walk as far as 15 meters. It's really awesome.
Man, this looks outright professional quality. I'm astounded because of how great this looks. If this was your first time doing this, I can't imagine what will come out later. Everything in your video looks great. Awesome job.
На одном дыхании. Хороший и интересный подход к рассказу истории, переросший другие короткометры по подобным крипипастам, которые от разной степени серьезности подхода к рассказу истории, все еще остаются лишь страшилками. Потому наблюдаемое мне показалось интересным развитием вышенаписанного. Очень хорошая и интересная работа.
the voicing lighting models and also character animations are sick! Best backrooms unoffical kane pixels video I ever saw. Also thank you for the Funny Among Us refrence it got me so good!
Ok, so I tried doing the mistery stuff with the QR code at 2:00, but I'm blocked at a corrupted file with a password. I need some help or advices, please ? That was really fun to discover all of these easter eggs in the website etc. I don't know if someone will ever see this comment or know what to do in my situation, but thank you for this quest! I hope I'll be able to continue it someday!
@@VladislavZharkov Good point; Maybe the "modern" equivalent could be to either have the video be lower resolution (like that short bit of security footage), or ad some additional compression artifacts. Just other ways to "dirty" the video in a convincing way to hide the 3D aspect.
Holy shit I did not expect to be nostalgically jump scared by Moby! I love Moby's Play album!... Edit: Errr uh, that sample I mean. Didn't know the origins of that sample till now. You learn something new everyday.
Oh yeah, I love "Play". I came up with this bit after watching the Pitfalls episode of Kane Pixels' series and hearing those yells that kind of reminded me of the "Find My Baby" sample. But instead of using Moby's song as a joke, I chose to use the one he actually sampled and insert this tiny bit of trivia into the gag as well.
HOLY CRAP this is so good, the mocap is so clean. the best mocap i can get is using my VR and Vive trackers cuz im broke :( How did you have so much space for the motion capture. its seem less. im just blown away. im still trying to get my VR motion capture to not brake in S2FM lol.
Thank you! I rented a dance room to test out mocap in big volumes, hence the distance I could walk freely without stitching multiple animations. However, first and second shots are made of pairs of animations that I stitch together when the camera's looking at something else. That is why it appears so seamless. Also, the shot with the Bacteria creature is also made through merging two animations: the shooting part was later mocapped at home, while the arrival part still comes from the dance room mocap session.
First I used Futzbox, with Glass Cup sim, 200 Hz 24 dB high pass filter, 18000 Hz 24 dB low pass filter, and 10% soft distortion. Then I applied two more low pass filters, to get the sound more muffled and a bit resonant, but still audible in a way like it's being amplified.
They time traveled back to the past. Since the Backrooms is quite unstable, accidentally time traveling is common. Since it's the same universe as Kane Pixels', I'm going to say Kane released a video a while back about a researcher time travelling to 3 months in the future. So time travel is possible. To the future and past.
These are scream recordings and horror elements from Aversion Expansion pack by AVA Music Group. I just did a tiny bit of processing on them to tone down the distortions so it doesn't conflict with all the reverb going on.
Eventually, yeah, I'll probably make something with such vibes. As for the music I like, it's hard to tell. I just listen to things that sound nice. My playlist is an incoherent mess, lol. Lately I started using dark ambient as a background noise when I work. Cryochamber has plenty of mixes and streams.
Spent a few evenings in the Hammer editor with barely any prior planning except for the entrance section. Some props come from Half-Life: Alyx, others come from KitBash3D's Secret Lab pack. Wall textures were recreated by me and combined with additional texture maps from the Quixel library.

The animation quality is extremely impressive, it really is professional quality
1:40 hell yeah! Thanks for the sample name :) Good stuff, hazmat dude's got taste.
It's hard to fine a good backrooms video nowadays, this is really good and also oddly comforting.
This video successfully immerses me in the world, and it's enjoyable and novel the entire time. This is my second watch. So underrated
Alright, I blame you for keeping me up an hour past my bedtime xD it was fun though, considering I've never done this before.

It seemed to me that they see themselves in the recent past from the POV of the creature, so, I imagine they're about to get shot by themselves

Incredibly creepy and with really good voice acting and animation.
The only nitpick is that the lack of depth in the carpet/ceiling can be noticeable.

finally a backrooms video where the guy killed the entity and didn't give a shit even though he was literal seconds away from being mauled
"there is nothing a 50 cal can fix"
yea this guy is lucky he got paired with a Texan lol man packing a Desert Eagle somewhere
love it!
Nice work. I got "The Shining” vibes from the environment.
the backpack kind of looks like a half life ICU gas tank
As if I looked at some SCP. Fokin good :!
One place, all events
Nice video, but also one that highlight how important the VCR filter is when you are trying to make average 3D look realistic.
Good point, but this one was meant to happen nowadays, rather than in the 80's. Hence the digital glitching and artifacts, rather than all analog.
@@VladislavZharkov Good point; Maybe the "modern" equivalent could be to either have the video be lower resolution (like that short bit of security footage), or ad some additional compression artifacts.

That hazmat guy reminds me from Backroom Reunion by Kane Pixel.

The best backrooms video i'v ever seen until now
Great video. Hope it gets more traction.
Very nice, keep it up!
The carpet depth looks a bit odd but this animation from lighting to rigging is awesome
Забавно, лор почти не поломан. Приятно смотреть!
The scene where the creature was running at them was so good
3:22
Dat qr tho
So gary is chilling in his hole and he is okay

better than those dumb slide videos
