One of the most overlooked and underappreciated aspects of these Backrooms videos is the music and sound effects. Kane chooses the perfect music to create that uneasy and unnerving atmosphere.
First (Edit: I finally did it!) Anyways, I do agree. Kane says he's not a great musician but he makes ambient tracks that can rival C418 and Aphex Twin in a matter of days. Edit Edit: Sorry if I upset any Aphex Twin fans out there. I was just trying to make a point.
I like that the “start-up” clicking noise for the device sounds like the ones from the tests we saw in earlier videos, but softer and in a higher pitch so as to make it obvious that this prototype is what will eventually lead to the device responsible for the creation of the first Backrooms portal.
I have a feeling that Philip R.Heymann is the “him” that’s referenced a few videos back. The one where the yellow suits find the dead kid from the first video, and the ending had reverse text that said: “If anyone, blame him.” At least, that’s my theory.
This is what I love about internet horror. There is no other medium that allows for this unique structure of storytelling, and it adds so much to the mystery and tension as well as keeping viewers invested. This series is so incredibly well done, keep it up my dude.
Neon Genesis Evangelion uses a lot of scenes like this, old VHS quality videos of some technology, experiments or sciences with noise in the background and hard to listed voices, where you have to imagine/guest whats going on.
I think taking a more sci-fi approach to the backrooms is really interesting, and helps you stick out from the countless other backrooms content creators. A lot of people aren't particularly scared of the backrooms, so mixing in these genuinely cool hypothetical-science aspects among the rest of the horror stuff is really smart. Nice work as always, Kane!
It isn't really hard to stick out as a backrooms content creator when Kane is essentially the one who started it all with the first found footage video. He knows people will watch his stuff because he's credible with the stuff he's done so far.
This is more terrifying to us humans because this thing that is unknown to us is similar in some ways (unknown: the backrooms, similarity: looks like an actual room.) Or the fact that the similarity is science.
The back rooms has always had potential, but the way Kane took it & built an entire world around it never stops amazing me. The undefined lore behind this, and the liminal space horror allows it to be interpreted in any way by anyone, making it truly haunting.
People too often make the rookie mistake of over saturating the lore of the backrooms, to the point where they become too well defined. They should remain mysterious and foreboding. And this guy in particular gets that less is more. By keeping things ambiguous, it creates a much more unsettling atmosphere. Because you _don't_ know what this place is, or what horrors may (or may not) lurk within. You have no clue what kinda distorted realities exist inside. It's kinda like being caught in The Twilight Zone.
How is the lore "undefined"? It looks very easy to understand. FBI and/or whatever american elite corporation created the backrooms through their crazy psychopathic experiments to create infinite rooms for people to live in (be caged in), so they don't have to build them for them, and spend their precious money. Basically a place where they can keep their slaves, monitored too if we consider the dimension like something modifiable or virtual. Instead of it being "undefined", it's actually very realistic, and scary in the context of the real-world elites, that are actually capable of doing crazy things, and the moment they get more power they'd impose all that on you, we're seeing that more and more only in the recent years, soon they'll even have Elon Musk's brain chips, and do you know the FBI actually patented devices capable of changing your emotions and thoughts? The "fantastic" part of this story is mostly in the program failing and creating entities, however that's also comparable to the way the world is being treated today and the even scarier destruction this insanity can, and will, bring. Nothing about this lore is undefined lol, and if you saw anything similar, said Stranger things, or played similar *realistic* sci-fi games, one I can think of being Inside, it's really not hard at all to get. Crazy first world elite governments doing crazy experiments on people for their ulterior profit and manipulation, it's a hella common topic actually. I also don't see how it can be "interpreted in any way by anyone", when there's a video clearly stating the backrooms are being created as an infinite room-space for people to live inside. Nothing about space. But I don't expect people to understand art cause their stupidity is over the edge, in fact they don't even understand the same world they live in, I get why it's hard for them to understand anything slightly different, and therefore unless it's told to them word by word, it'll be something "wow cryptic" for their drugged brains.
@@EskimoCanadian44 I've been saying this the entire time. The main appeal of most creepy pastas is the mystery of the unknown that shrouds them, at least for the first bit of introduction. The backrooms was one of the most unfortunate of creepypastas as it just kept getting lore dumps after massive lore dump when it took off the first time. Seeing it be revived by kane with his "show don't tell" approach is absolutely refreshing. Not everything needs an explanation, if and/or when it does it needs to nail the conclusion. Wether it's left open ended or not may deter a lot of people, but its way too early to be thinking about that. It's time to enjoy the ride.
I’m amazed that these are made by someone who’s only a year older than me. I’m going to start making short films next year, but there’s no way they’re going to be this incredible! This is truly a work of art, I aspire to be like you Kane!!!
Anything regarding the experimentation of real world functioning portal technology automatically grabs my attention. This whole concept of the back rooms being, what appears to be, the result of experimenting with opening gateways in space time and stumbling upon a separated dimension tucked away in a hidden crawl space of the universe is so fascinating.
It’s really interesting, the way he went with world-building like it might’ve actually happened had we created the right technology. It makes it solid because there’s things we can relate back to (like work protocol)
The way I see it the back rooms in this series are one of two things. An existing dimension that we managed to open a door to, or an artificially created dimension. In the case of the latter, I almost feel as if the ability for people to “clip” into it accidentally, and the fact that the place is filled with dangerous monstrosities, almost suggests that the universe is very much reacting negatively to this. I mean if you cheat, you shouldn’t be surprised to find a bunch of glitches.
I'm not a Physicist or anything remotely related but I LOVE how technical and scientific you're getting with the Lore. Could be totally bogus but it looks convincing enough to me. I can't get enough 🤯😁
I feel weird every time i see watch this. The music combined with the weird thing that you dont really know what is, the noises and then just the atmosphere. I love it
Growing up in the 80s and 90s, the amount of nostalgia I feel watching your videos is something I’ve not experienced in a long long time, I don’t even know how to describe it. Youve just got “it”. You’ve got this genre figured out. You should be making full length movies or a tv show.
And he manages to superimpose the old world with the current world in a way that is not contradictory but actually complementary and harmonious. They say the present is a continuation of the past so why not?
Hmm...i can almost see the setting: in the early 2000s, before 9/11, a low ranking government worker is at the right place at the right time when a careless higher up leaves a door to a surveillance ajar. Knowing it could cost them their job, but too curious to pass it up, our hero sneaks into the room and quietly closes the door. Inside they discover a pile of tapes labeled "the backrooms: file footage." The tapes are organized into "experiments" "expeditions" and "found". Our hero picks up one of the tapes, and places it into the VCR. These are the backroom tapes.

I was born in 84 and I agree. This is very reminiscent of x files, twin peaks, unsolved mysteries, etc. The nostalgia is intoxicating.
If this is all you, the vfx, the music, the storyboarding, the sound design, everything, you are well on your way to getting scooped by a major studio (if that's your goal) because everything you make is brilliant.
@@astrogaming2379 that's exactly what I mean. If being scooped by a major studio is his goal, by all means, but these days you can completely buck the system and become that studio.
everything about this feels like a weird dream, the music, the color palette, the design of the equipment, it's all like one of those weird dreams I'd have as a kid that I couldn't explain and also scared the shit out of me lmao
I love how the machines themselves look disturbing and off-putting even without any context. These instruments and the later iteration of the machine with the full-size doorway look so raw and unfamiliar, it's done so well.
I agree, I couldnt quite place my finger on it until I came across your comment. There is something entirely unsettling about the machinery and methods of accessing this world. There is that niggling thought at the back of your head saying, "we shouldn't be doing this, we are venturing into realms that we do not entirely understand." The old notion that technology has outpaced human maturity. Fascinating.
I think the best part about these machines, that Kane is creating, is that they look like how a real science experiment in a theoretical field may look like. Most sci-fi makes their experiments look so extravagant and clean and polished but this is how a real lab might test a theory. Most labs don't have budgets for extravagance or cleanliness. They make their devices to do what they want them to do and it doesn't have to look sleek if it does it's job. It adds to the realism. Makes me believe that these machines could exist in real life.
@@TheButcherClan YES the frame holding the device shown here is literally assembled from metal channel pieces, exactly how a scientist might quickly cobble together something that's "good enough" for the purpose of the experiment.
@@plixplop Exactly, that was the first thing I noticed. I've been in a lot of labs and this is what prototypes look like usually. Clunky but useable. Movies always get this idea that scientists who come up with these kinds of experiments are also excellent engineers. Not always the case. Also, notice the wiring that's draping over all of it and the way the "emitters" (that's what I'm gonna call them) are strapped on to that circular piece of metal. Excellent set design, better than most of Hollywood.
I loved the backrooms back in 2019 and to see it become what it is today courtesy of people like you Kane really is breathtaking, keep up the amazing work man.
Seriously, i was so hooked on the little lore that did come with it, in the beginning. Now Kane and other UA-camrs are bringing it to life like never before. Im glad it was never forgotten about
Dude you have everyone around your finger wondering what’s gonna happen next. Not only are the sound effects, visuals, and music captivating, but the storytelling is so beautifully horrifying. Keep up the excellent work Kane! Can’t wait to see what you bring next!
Man the day he's done with these videos, they can be clipped together, to create one of the most truly horrifying movies ever. It's just so fucking well done.
I really hope this wasn't the first and last time we learn about Oak Ridge and what led to this This is still probably my favourite vid you've done. One minute thirty two seconds of perfection
Oak Ridge is actually a real laboratory in Tennessee. They are also a laboratory for the Department of Energy (interesting). Thoughts: It's interesting that Project KV31 is based in California, but a prototype was tested in Tennessee. Philip R. Heymann is a Fictional Character, we may get more information about him and this video. The laboratory is owned by the Department of Energy, so the study of the Low-Proximity Magnetic Distortion System is not a new concept for the DOE.
@@bobbobbobbobbob3045 I am actually from OakRidge TN. Specifically, right near the used to be secret lab. Most of the town agrees that they still explore some very wild areas of science (black holes, different dimensions, you name it). I personally don’t know what to think, but I do know that they are active in nuclear engineering still, since I have friends who work there today. Whatever they do, even my childhood best friends refuse to and absolutely will not ever speak on what they see or do. It’s very secretive and it makes perfect sense why it’s used for this lore. Your comment was a fun read and if you ever had questions about it I’d gladly try my best to answer them here!
Theory time: This is clearly one of the first iterations of the Threshold gateway, but what exactly did this prototype do? The design looks like some sort of mini particle accelerator, with eight handles pointing inwards. We can see something like a marble at the center, most definitely a test object. And what happened when the prototype activated and completed its test? The marble dissapered. What if, the marble was the first man-made object to artificially enter the backrooms. And the one thing the researchers didn't realised was that the marble was contaminated with microbial strains.. And we know the backroom is temporally warped, meaning the marble could've ended up with billions of year's to wait for humanity to physically arrive. EDIT: before y'all complain, yes I know that it's not a particle accelerator OR that it perfectly looks like one. The prototype is obviously a mini-threshold gate whatever. I was only using a particle accelerator as a base example for what I could perceive.
It doesn't looks like a particle accelerator imo. Edit: We know from the earlier videos they open the portal by creating a magnetic distortion in the threshold, so my guess is this thing using some kind of powerful electromagnets, not reactors or an accelerator.
Nice theory! I would say that this resembles more of a laser induced fusion reactor than particle accelrator. Currently we have small targets like this of pure gold surrounded by powerful lasers, normally from every angle not just a ring. There is no particle acceleration but instead the lasers heats the target to increadible temperatures to induce fusion to take place and creating a micro star for very short periods of time. Compression of material below a certain limit can also create mini black holes, as are theoriesd to be created by the large hadron collider. Black holes punch a hole through space time by warping it so severely. It is theorised that if you connect the inward singularity with a black hole and an outward singularity ( sometimes called a white hole) together you would get a hypothetical Einstein-Rosen Bridge, or more commonly known as a wormhole. So i would theorise that this is a wormhole generator creating a microwormhole but instead of a wormhole to a new place in our spacetime, a wormhole to the backroom dimensions. The gateway we see in earlier videos would then be an Einstein -Rosen Bridge , held open by tremendous amounts of energy, the whole output of a star like our sun, so there needs to be some hookwinking done to explain how the government can produce a reaction with a solar output but its the basis of a theory!
Nicely done. Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is an actual multi-disciplinary scientific research center under government tutelage, so it makes a lot of sense to add it to the Backrooms lore. Even the font that you used looks like Oak Ridge’s logo. Very detail-oriented 👍
@@shamelessrepair5975 you would be suprise how many secrets are there, none of them are good or potential for humanity. Just conquering and power and control, the only things on elites's mind
ORNL is a very real thing, yes. I have a friend who does union iron-working for them and Y12, and every time they have to fill out non-disclosure agreements. They are never told what the buildings are used for, and after the job is done they chuck the tools they used in what is basically a landfill. Why? I have no clue, and neither do they it seems. All he knows is that they pay very well. Edit: For anyone who doesn't know, Y12 is a nuclear research facility. Just putting that out there 👌🏻
Seeing the device early on is so dope. You've heard this a million times, but I seriously can't wait to see more. I also love that you're avoiding the lame "giant sci fi corporation template no. 3-1F" with ASYNC, and instead going for this grounded sort of thing where ASYNC is leasing out a basement from Oak Ridge to do their work or something.
Some "demigod" PI, who has bought multiple nobel prizes into the lab (either himself, or by helping with other research) has this crazy theory. The bosses figure they might as well let an old man have his fun, and fund his wacky research. Of course, his theories are crazy BS... until suddenly they aren't.
I wonder if the main purpose of this video is exactly that, to show the humble origins of The Device. Something about the creator starting in such a simple space, only to get swooped up by the government and funded up the wazoo so quickly.
The backrooms are, after all, nothing but a rumor and most likely a "accident", judging from the earlier footage. It makes much more sense to think that a small unknown science team discovered something "unnatural", it goes wrong and then the government swooped in and covered it all up. thats at least how I interpret the videos so far, the footage all was made by ASYNC, but there is that FBI disclaimer at the start of some - hinting that in fact the FBI seized it
I'm currently doing an internship on a particle physics laboratory and the feel of early experimental design is really well captured, it's that mix of high end machinery + the DIY aspect of non-consumer devices physicists have to develop for their experiments.
These are the ONLY backroom videos I watch. Absolutely the best. I really hope some big company picks you up and has you produce and direct a big ass whole series based on this beautiful world you're building.
I one hundred percent agree with you if the Backrooms were a movie or TV series I would 100% watch it. I would play it too if somebody made a in-depth open world game
I love his work as well, but I'm worried that if it was done in a TV show sort of thing, the quality that we see now might deteriorate... That's just what I think. It's what happened with the Cuphead show.
All the Backrooms lore explanation: In 1982 the Async foundation tries a prototype of a very large experiment, the KV31, which formally starts in 1988. In the "third test" video, we can actually see the Complex Machine functioning, and the cientists explain that the KV31 is made for unlimited storage and house making. The machine distortes gravity and space itself to blend it which tergiversates universe itself (this would lead to the Backrooms in the future). The meta of the experiment is that that tergiversated space would be infinite and non euclidean, so humans would not have problems with storage and homes, this infinite space would save us billions of dollars. In 1989 (First contact video) there is another test of the Complex Machine, and Its date matches perfectly with the real earthquake that happened in that exact date, Loma Prieta. Loma Prieta fucked up the test and the machine malfunctioned, creating the Backrooms. These Backrooms can be accessed by the laboratory by the personal or randomly by civils, which went missing (1990) (See "missing persons" and "Backrooms footage"). It seems to be that the Backrooms are connected to a dimension in which extrange entities live, and the missing persons are killed by an alien fungi (mold-like) that these creatures secrete, which makes peoples bodies deteriorate. (See the creatures in "Backrooms footage" and the fungi in "Autopsy").
It’s really cool how you are going along with this, usually people try to use the mythical or demonic spectrum of horror, but you’re using science and it’s more realistic that way.
The 80s ethereal other worldly music along with the laboratory visuals makes these Backrooms videos even more eerie. The lore is deepening and it keeps more and more ppl invested. Awesome work Kane Pixels 😎
The production quality of this series is through the roof. So, what I'm getting from this is a first test run using a small-scale device that can transport a very small object to the backrooms or to what I call an "otherspace". It's basically proof of concept that things CAN be moved from one plane of existence to another. Of course, a tremulous amount of calculations had to precede the experiment to guess where in space the little sphere would end up. Anyways, this is a very interesting glimpse into the first steps of the project.
So the "other space", well that is a new element on the lore. I mean, by kane lore the backrooms isn't natural, but if what you said is true so there is another NATURAL plane in existence, another dimension or another space, but the backrooms it self was made by the threshold, it's artificial. That is what I can get from this. Edit: maybe there was nothing in there, then was backrooms. That goes beyond an horror story, that even goes to sci fi
I can imagine in a future Backrooms video, an exploration team finds the metal ball they teleported 8 years ago and say "Wow, that's cool. It really made it to the Complex and stayed there for 8 years untouched. Wow!"
sorry, but the metal ball would have probably melted due to the heat generated from those lasers, then it would most likely burn the carpet and possibly start a fire, depending on where it was teleported to, before solidifying into a puddle of metal. my personal theory is that this ball is the "heart" of the complex, and the reason that the complex looks like it does could be some sort of 'referral' to the location that is shown in this video. The only real evidence I have for this is the shine that you can see on those metal barrels, its a very bright yellow/orange, almost similar to the lights in the backrooms. Maybe this place is Kane's equivalent of the original backrooms image location.
This machine is called a GO-TSe. Each cylinder is focused onto the centre which is basically a beam of ionised air. They then simultaneously fire a high intensity laser at such a tiny piece of space that it starts to tear a hole in space time itself. The largest successful space time gape was measured at 14.9 centimetres for over 3 seconds.
A lot of backrooms lore theory: If you go to Kane Pixel's Ko-fi account (in the description of his videos), and view his gallery, the first photo he posted was a picture of the monster tripod in the found footage, and it's named "bacteria". So my theory is that the tripod monster is the same thing as the hay bacillus bacteria seen in "Autopsy report" video, because in the Wikipedia page for hay bacillus, it says they are able to become motile (capable of motion) by taking up DNA from the environment. So the tripod monster is probably made up of the bacteria with the DNA of some organism (most likely a human). I knew it, Kane is genius of making actually creepy analog horror with awesome and interesting lore 👍 Keep it up, bro
My own theory is that, since we’ve seen the back rooms distort the further you go into it, why not apply that logic to the things within it? We’ve seen bacteria in the autopsy report, and what does a yellow wallpaper traditionally have in it? Mold. So it’s likely that due to the distortion increasing the further you go, the mild distorts further and becomes that creature.
That would make sense, in the GTLive filmtheory reaction they had found a dead guy with black mold type stuff around him & it had a screen that flashed that said "Blame him" backwards or something like that The carpet is always wet (If it's following the lore of level 0) so not hard to figure out where the mold came from
I saw another theory theorizing the tri-pod monster was actually related to the video where they were setting up the tri-pod cameras. I think you can make the connection.
@@a-tech5452 Ye for sure, i think it was the video where they show the marble floor section, the tripod there felt like it was there for a reason or when they setup the cameras to watch multiple angles
but wouldnt this theory prove to be very easy to kill it, Since its made up of human DNA and probably the same or similar substance in biomass jsut make it a walking human. And if its not easily killed it should be simple to damage or harm with a simple handgun
The fact that this has a backstory that's only being hinted at sets it apart from most backrooms videos which are just MONSTER EAT YOU... YOU DED. The amazing production is just gravy on top of a succulent meal.
Kane started the fire to the backrooms community. now many UA-camrs making their own backrooms and it's fun to see how they can interpret their own backrooms.
Kane's backrooms make me feel like I did way back during the early days of the Scp site. It all seemed so grounded and mysterious. I could believe I really did stumble upon some shadow organization just barely holding back forces they barely understood. I'm so glad we're getting this kind of atmospheric worldbuilding instead of "oh look another unstoppable monster go brrr" Keep it up man!
yeah SCP has gotten away from its early roots a bit. too many hands on deck. but that's just how it is for SCP, since there has never been a single person in charge of its direction. The issue with SCP is that the expectation for how articles should be written has led to a loss of simplicity. Sometimes less is more. Articles nowadays tend towards explaining so much about an entry that they no longer feel mysterious of strange. There are also so many anomalous objects now that it's not really anomalous in-universe. When anomalous is the norm, it's no longer anomalous. It's analagous to the saying, "if everyone is special, no one is." I think there's an over-reliance on incorporating third-parties like Marshall Carter & Dark at times too. Not *everything* has to fit together. It takes away from the X-Files-esque "monster of the week" fun. Stuff that ties into the larger story arch (if SCP can even be said to have one) should be written more sparingly.
@@LaylaVaughan I agree there was probably nothing to stop it once it grew to be as big as it is now. It's also not to say there aren't some fantastic entries now, but im nostalgic towards the mystery of the early universe, without years of detail and backstory that's been built up. It's not anyone's particular fault, it's just the nature of a fan generated universe that exploded in popularity.
I am continually impressed with your videos. I love this. I was born 8 days before this event would have taken place. This is spot on what a weird science research video would have looked and sounded like back then. I’m impressed someone so young can use their creative talent so well. I look forward to watching your feature length movies when you become a famous writer/director.
Wonderful. So now we’re seeing the early distortion system. You must have heard this a number of times by now, but the degree of depth and coherence of story you’ve build simply by implying its existence is astounding. How does one as young as you develop this level of talent?
"distortion system" what distortion system? Despite watching all of the videos in Kane's backrooms series, I don't know what you are talking about. But, I may be acting more stupid than usual due to my being tired.
You have taken what would normally be seen as just another creepypasta and have expanded upon it, you've made it feel like at any moment, any one of us, could fall out of reality and wind up the Backrooms. The way you expanded the lore of the Backrooms, made it seem like a real scientific anomaly, it's brilliant. Keep up the amazing work.
Try having a dream.. A normal one.. Or as normal as a dream can be then all of a sudden you are in the backrooms, well that actually happened to me a month ago. I then said fk this and turned around to the wall and pushed my self through it back into the previous dream... It was fantastically trippy
Back when the Backrooms were new, all we ever had was that photo from 4Chan to work on. Glad to see you expand the lore and universe of the Backrooms this thoroughly.
The effect is actually probably the opposite. As I've seen stated elsewhere, Backrooms lore has been washed out and overdetailed since its creation, and it no longer has the same feel to it. Videos like these bring that original style back, keeping just enough mystery to preserve the terror factor.
Theory: The device looks to be an inertial confinement fusion device, which concentrates energy via lasers to a packet of fusionable material in the middle to start the fusion process. Taking mass-energy-equivalence into account, we can assume that large amounts of energy concentrated in a small space-time-region can create a black hole. Now how does this connect to the backrooms? Well, black holes are regions of space where wormhole-like structures known as Einstein-Rosen-Bridges can occur, which could connect different realities. The threshold might be a stable Einstein-Rosen-Bridge connecting our universe to that of the backrooms. It could be that the initial goal was the development of a fusion reactor, but they stumbled upon a way to make wormholes into other universes.
Of course the theory sounds good, but these are magnetic resonators and simply this is a prototype of Kv31 because on the right you can see the spinning crap that is in other videos where the process of opening the gate is shown
im dumb to think that the backrooms is like another reality trying to copy ours, it began in 1982 because of the people trying to resonate an object into a black hole. so the reality took what we had in 1982 and made an infinite space of 1982 styled rooms. and the backrooms could be a consciousness, trying to make everything impossible more possible, like having your hand go through a table. so the entities in the backrooms are somewhat impossible to even exist but exist only because its a seperate reality, if you were to fall through the ground, where will you be? if there were enough molocules for you to fall straight through the earth it would just be considered a giant hole but maybe that giant hole could be the transportation machine to the seperate reality (the complex) and over time the more the backrooms feeds in people the stronger it gets to tug in more. maybe thats the reason the number of missing people are not staying at a certain flow, but its rising and rising. soon the backrooms would just go on forever, any being in there would be impossible to stay so it would just fall apart and the backrooms would just eat our own reality
This machine is named “LBTrn-82” and is set up to send something to a different reality, in which we see, is most likely true. It’s construction is composed of focusing multiple laser beams of ionized protonic material while using only 34% of electricity. It uses a 68-L49 UP Fan, a Hydromolecular Compressor, 2 GR-ION Power Cables, and a VNLKH Stabilizer. The reason for the stabilizer is because the force of the Hydromolecular Compressor overflows the rods without the stabilizer so that’s important. The rods they use are B960 Rods (that shoot out the ionized protonic material).
This music is haunting-it alone adds so much atmosphere, you start speculating and writing lore in your head that takes a short, “uneventful” video and imposes upon it a Book of Revelations-size foreboding.
Dude I'm so lost. It's like a secret society for nerds. Everything I've researched on this shit has made zero sense to me. I'm somewhat jealous because it seems to have everyone's absolute attention
@@adamlipare1033 The Backrooms is a place where you no-clip into a mysterious temporal dimension. Fear is used against you. Survival is key and so is being vigilant. Be careful where you exit or else you may end up dead. Or don't, you might die from starving anyways if you can't find food or water. Any way out is a possible death sentence or...a literal way back into our world. Level 0 is 6 million square miles of gloomy, fading yellow wallpaper and the persistent humming of the florescent lights. Watch out or creatures may find out. Some are very hostile and territorial. Some can be friendly but always, and I mean always keep an eye out. You never know what may come around the corner. And whatever you do....do not drink the fluid dripping from the walls.... its tempting but very deadly.
I love this, the device looks like an inertial confinement fusion reactor, the central fuel pellet and the ring of LASERs leads me to believe it is such. I like to think that Oak Ridge are researching how well fusion and atomic physics works in the Backrooms, perhaps the end result is to build a particle accelerator to determine the properties of the Backrooms themselves..
Outstanding work. Sound design is incredible, both effects and musical score. Love the Async lore/canon. The 80's-90s Corporate VHS feel is done perfectly.
The quality of these videos is truly exceptional. In a matter of days, one person is putting out videos that rival billion-dollar film studios, and at 16 no less. You produce an excellent story, 3D graphics so good I forget it's Blender every time, and music so perfect it could be a standalone album. Keep up the great work Kane!
@@noahherman1631 I mean, if he's made them all and is now pacing out their releases from a backlog, that just adds directorial and marketing talent to his already enviable list of skills.
He’s only 16!? That’s some incredible talent right there. Definitely has the makings of a award winning film /director/writer/producer that can outdo what Hollywood has already.
I love how the clicking the prototype makes when activating is like a early version of the deep clicking noise that happens when the large door test occurs years later.
We need to talk about how great the quality of this is. It’s.. beautiful. The scenery is some of the most beautiful yet. Now, theorizing time - first off, I didn’t expect us to get a PREQUEL, dating back to even before the backrooms was even in development. This prototype is definitely important, and very interesting. Another thing we should take notice of - this isn’t A-Sync footage. This is from the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, under the supervision of a new character called Phillip R. Heymann. It’s strange to say the least, and I have a feeling we’ll be getting more prequel videos like this that elaborate on A-Sync’s dark past… once again, well done Kane! 👍
something worth noting: Richard (aka R) Phillips Feynman (pseudo-spoilers ahead) > Feynman was sent to the Clinton Engineer Works in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where the Manhattan Project had its uranium enrichment facilities he worked on the manhattan project (aka the nuke project) note the resemblance of the manhattan project logo to the async logo. worth noting he died in 1988 so was alive here in 1982, but not 1990
Aw dude this is actually just beautiful at this point. The amount of effort you put into this in so little time is just mindblowing. You're such a young creator with such huge potential, amazing job Kane. I cant wait to see more!
Waiting for your next backrooms video is like wait for your next favourite shows episode to release that’s how good the story, quality and lore of these videos is. Keep up the great work!
I love that you focus on the science/technical/grounded aspects of the whole scenario more than the "ethereal" or spooky aspects. I love the focus on the laboratories, the scientists, and their work and attempts to understand and our perception is limited to their perspective which adds a lot of value to the details of the world.
i really like the 1980/90s look feel and realism to the backrooms. being a 16 year old hobbyist cinematographer myself, i really enjoy these kind of videos! my FAVROTE realistic detail is how the camara sensor and rec tape reacted to the (im assuming) extreme gamma radiation from the "Prototype". you can see similarities to this in footage of the Chernobyl Nuclear disaster when the camaras were exposed to radiation when flying above the open reactor... anyway. i went down a rabbit hole again... but i like this eerie stile of videos! Really cool work Kane!
These videos are always a treat to watch. Love how unsettling these are, like something bad is going to happen at any moment. But it leaves you wondering when it'll happen.
This prototype seems to have been used so Async could test their technology to see if they could nail it down. You can see that there was a marble at the beginning, but after the test, there wasn’t, because this device sent it to the Backrooms. This theory does create an issue with another theory though… The theory that the Backrooms was created by Async when Async opened the portal in 1989. If that theory were true, then where did this marble go when it was teleported? Since this video was from 1982, the Backrooms wouldn’t have been created yet. Is it possible that the Backrooms was always there, and Async just accessed it using the Threshold, which caused the fabric between our dimensions to weaken, which is why people started falling in? Or is it something more simple, like this test was a failure and the marble just melted or something and didn’t really teleport? Anyways, amazing work, as usual. Can’t wait to see where you take this series!
That theory was made by people not knowing the Backrooms beforehand and going of the first videos. The way cane goes, the Backrooms here are probably quiet close to the internet "cannon" only a little less wacky (but we haven't seen that much of them yet, so it might get wild). Cane actually has somewhat shown that they have been there longer that Async. Namely with the stuff like the wooden wheelbarrow thats from at least 150 years ago. In all likelihood, in canes videos, just like the widely accepted version online, they always have been there and just are.
I personally like the idea that Async made it. Its a lot cooler than “scary yellow office from the beginning of time oooo so scarrrryyy.” The idea that humans made something that they can’t fathom and now need to fix.
I personally think they wanted to make a storage space for people (as stated in another video), so they went into it intending to make an infinite storage space, but something went wrong with the machine causing something similar to an storage space with oddities and countless anomalies, An office space.
@Jordan River Studios As others have said, if time flows weirdly in the Backrooms, then it's possible it was still created by Async, which would explain the late 80s/early 90s decor, but due to the way time operates in there it's been accessible throughout other periods in human history as a result.
Dude, these videos are deadass helping me through my breakup. Just having something else to focus on that grips my mind with it’s abstract nature and open-endedness is unprecedentedly helpful to me. Keep it up, lad.
1:19 the background ambient music seems to sample a child calling out, echoing into nothingness "where are you?" cant help but feel ive heard it before
I honestly believe that this can be considered a professional job. I don't know if you, Kane, have studied to make these jobs. Maybe yes, or maybe not, but I would completely believe it if someone said "this is for a great movie, made by a good director", because you make it looks profesional, and also awesome. I love your job!
@@MrCristianposso yes, but he can start it by his own. It's possible, if he's very intelligent. That's not something fictional, it's just being very intelligent
I’m still in awe of how Kane can produce such consistently high-quality videos in such a relatively short amount of time. Perhaps that just means I’m clueless about the process behind these but it’s still incredibly impressive to me.
It’s amazing that you’re only 16 years old, Kane. Keep doing what you’re doing, remember to take breaks to avoid burnout and create the content you enjoy making, not what everyone else wants. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing, I know you’ll continue to do amazing things. Keep in there, Kane! Love from Scotland ❤️
So if Ivan Beck is the vice director of Async and if Phillip here was in charge of this prototype experiment. Does that mean Phillip is the main director of Async? It wasn’t made clear in the past and I think this video’s purpose was to serve as an origin story of how Async got their government funding and an introduction of who the MAIN man is. Even if I’m wrong, this series is phenomenal and I’m loving it! Keep up the great work, Kane!!
This theory could be correct, the biggest “issue” with it is that ASYNC is centered in northern California, while the Oak Ridge National Laboratory is in Tennessee. This doesn’t mean that he isn’t the main director of ASYNC, but it could also be a video of some random research facility doing work on portals.
It could be anything at this point. It could simply mean that Phillip was the head scientist overseeing the experiment... I work in the science industry and it never says the director is connected with experiments lol.
@@Jbowyerjr could be that: 1. They had did it in Colorado while the company itself was in California, possibly to show it off to US Government scientists. 2. ASYNC was originally centered in Colorado, but had to move to California and this was the test in Colorado. 3. ASYNC is possibly a branch of a US Government Research division that moved to California and had tried to perfect the experiment in Colorado.
@@MatthewT394 As there is a soundtrack made by Pixels named “Government Funding”, it can be assumed that Async started as a standalone, independent project. If that is the case, I think that 1 or 3 were the most probable out of this list.
Every little detail about this is perfect. I though it would be just a brief filler or sneak peek of something that’ll be significant further on, but I was in awe of the music, the great taste in the pacing, the consistency in the design of all the tech shown… it’s just a one-minute, three-shots piece but I loved it so much. So many others have said it already, but to me you are a genius. Thank you for making this Backrooms series, fr.
I’ve never clicked on a video faster. This series is absolutely amazing. I truly hope you receive some kind of recognition for all the effort you’ve put in to these videos. You’re amazing.
Hey Kane, know you probably won't read this but I just want to say: PLEASE don't feel the need to rush this series. This is seriously amazing and I know you want to capitalize on the current success, but you have REAL talent. The last thing this series needs is for you to rush things out just to appease the audience. I know you are probably well aware of that but I feel like the temptation has to be there seeing how you're getting a big amount of exposure from this. You're killing it and we all want to see what you have in store but don't feel like you need to be destroying yourself to accomplish it. A slow trickle of great content is better than a steady diet of half finished content just or the sake of satiating the audience (not saying this or any other videos seem rushed - I just know how I would feel if I were getting this much attention on something I created). I am SO excited to see what you do. This series is so great!
I just realized that the videos are placed in chronological order of events in the playlist while the release of each video is shuffled it really feels like we're the ones that solves it's mystery piece by piece
These are so good! It doesn't feel like you're creating and uploading them. It feels more like you're secretly leaking actual footage from some secret lab. It's amazing!! Love seeing more of your work!
Promise us that one day when you make it big in Hollywood (and you will) that you will make a full blown movie. This is such top tier film making. Keep it up!
I think its awesome how this backroom stuff has taken shape over the last two years thanks to the free creativity of the internet and this channel is totally helping excel it. Great stuff and keep it coming!!!
Man I love these , the music is very under rated and design is so amazing, I don’t know how Kane pixels does it but he’s very inspiring and genius, I hope he gets interviewed by people soon it’d be really good for him to like answer peoples questions
Your prop work is ace. Haven’t seen many analog horror/thriller series with this level of prop department. You’re definitely going the extra mile. And it is very much appreciated. Nice work Kane.
Your videos are beyond fantastic. Not only have you breathed fresh life into the Back Rooms, you've found a completely original way of doing it with previously unseen levels of fidelity and care. Please, never stop what you're doing
You PERFECTLY captured the essence of video in the 80s, especially the room and lighting. That weird orange/yellow from high sodium lighting in big manufacturing/lab facilities is perfect.
I cant believe how you are getting these animations or short films done in such low amount of time and they are all so good and flawless with no errors
I don't know why the music of the 90s and 80s seems really strange and terrifying because it contains more nostalgia, nightmares, and a strange feeling as well. Thank you, Ken.
I live near the Oak Ridge area, and have always heard wild rumors about the place. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they come forward with info on multiple universes soon, from the experiments they’ve been doing there. These are by far the “coolest” backrooms videos so far, better than anything else created in this genre so far. East Tennessee has some weird and wacky mysteries to it, looks like the origins of The Backrooms is a new one to add to the list.
Imagine showing this to someone in the early 80s, and telling them something huge is coming in the next couple of years…
Yeah then imagine showing it to everybody in the 80s and the other videos
Imagine showing a PS5 game to someone in the Early 80s
imagine showing anything from the 2010s to someone from the 80s, that alone would blow their mind
@@chiefff ikr, imagine showing them even the original iPhone. They wouldn’t be able to comprehend what it was, to them computers were big beige blocks
Imagine doing anything now in the 80s. People would think you're on crack.
One of the most overlooked and underappreciated aspects of these Backrooms videos is the music and sound effects. Kane chooses the perfect music to create that uneasy and unnerving atmosphere.
First (Edit: I finally did it!)
Anyways, I do agree. Kane says he's not a great musician but he makes ambient tracks that can rival C418 and Aphex Twin in a matter of days.
Edit Edit: Sorry if I upset any Aphex Twin fans out there. I was just trying to make a point.

Literally everyone is saying that it is underrated I don’t think it is underrated anymore

I like that the “start-up” clicking noise for the device sounds like the ones from the tests we saw in earlier videos, but softer and in a higher pitch so as to make it obvious that this prototype is what will eventually lead to the device responsible for the creation of the first Backrooms portal.
I have a feeling that Philip R.Heymann is the “him” that’s referenced a few videos back. The one where the yellow suits find the dead kid from the first video, and the ending had reverse text that said: “If anyone, blame him.”
At least, that’s my theory.
@@ragingdwarf a very possible one, from the evidence that was available at the time people were thinking it was dr. Beck.

@@muak_kuak There have been quite a few unstable ones, but the most recent is the first stable one. Possibly the only one.
This is what I love about internet horror. There is no other medium that allows for this unique structure of storytelling, and it adds so much to the mystery and tension as well as keeping viewers invested. This series is so incredibly well done, keep it up my dude.
This looks like nothing more than blumlein modulators in series, creating a massive arc in the form of a ball or plasma ball. In a space.
Neon Genesis Evangelion uses a lot of scenes like this, old VHS quality videos of some technology, experiments or sciences with noise in the background and hard to listed voices, where you have to imagine/guest whats going on.

@@Hamodi12Gamingim sorry but terrible joke
@@TrulyTheGuy im sorry but did anyone ask for your opinion? I was saying a simple joke and you come here and just start talking smack? Like wtf
I think taking a more sci-fi approach to the backrooms is really interesting, and helps you stick out from the countless other backrooms content creators. A lot of people aren't particularly scared of the backrooms, so mixing in these genuinely cool hypothetical-science aspects among the rest of the horror stuff is really smart. Nice work as always, Kane!
It isn't really hard to stick out as a backrooms content creator when Kane is essentially the one who started it all with the first found footage video. He knows people will watch his stuff because he's credible with the stuff he's done so far.
This is more terrifying to us humans because this thing that is unknown to us is similar in some ways (unknown: the backrooms, similarity: looks like an actual room.) Or the fact that the similarity is science.
It has to be sci-fi because it’s not especially scary just as a ‘monsters go boo’ jumpscare meme. Grounding it in some sense of reality makes it work.
I think it makes more sense. Look at stargate, the government does screwy shit when they get technology they don’t understand
@@ThisMrMister Not true, there is people that have done this before him
And let's not forget the wikidot backrooms lore of course
The back rooms has always had potential, but the way Kane took it & built an entire world around it never stops amazing me. The undefined lore behind this, and the liminal space horror allows it to be interpreted in any way by anyone, making it truly haunting.
People too often make the rookie mistake of over saturating the lore of the backrooms, to the point where they become too well defined. They should remain mysterious and foreboding. And this guy in particular gets that less is more. By keeping things ambiguous, it creates a much more unsettling atmosphere. Because you _don't_ know what this place is, or what horrors may (or may not) lurk within. You have no clue what kinda distorted realities exist inside. It's kinda like being caught in The Twilight Zone.
I don't see how this is ",truly haunting"
@@CalvZynist this episode in particular is definitely not the spookiest of the bunch, you should check out some of his other vids
How is the lore "undefined"? It looks very easy to understand. FBI and/or whatever american elite corporation created the backrooms through their crazy psychopathic experiments to create infinite rooms for people to live in (be caged in), so they don't have to build them for them, and spend their precious money. Basically a place where they can keep their slaves, monitored too if we consider the dimension like something modifiable or virtual.
Instead of it being "undefined", it's actually very realistic, and scary in the context of the real-world elites, that are actually capable of doing crazy things, and the moment they get more power they'd impose all that on you, we're seeing that more and more only in the recent years, soon they'll even have Elon Musk's brain chips, and do you know the FBI actually patented devices capable of changing your emotions and thoughts?
The "fantastic" part of this story is mostly in the program failing and creating entities, however that's also comparable to the way the world is being treated today and the even scarier destruction this insanity can, and will, bring. Nothing about this lore is undefined lol, and if you saw anything similar, said Stranger things, or played similar *realistic* sci-fi games, one I can think of being Inside, it's really not hard at all to get. Crazy first world elite governments doing crazy experiments on people for their ulterior profit and manipulation, it's a hella common topic actually.
I also don't see how it can be "interpreted in any way by anyone", when there's a video clearly stating the backrooms are being created as an infinite room-space for people to live inside. Nothing about space. But I don't expect people to understand art cause their stupidity is over the edge, in fact they don't even understand the same world they live in, I get why it's hard for them to understand anything slightly different, and therefore unless it's told to them word by word, it'll be something "wow cryptic" for their drugged brains.
@@EskimoCanadian44 I've been saying this the entire time. The main appeal of most creepy pastas is the mystery of the unknown that shrouds them, at least for the first bit of introduction. The backrooms was one of the most unfortunate of creepypastas as it just kept getting lore dumps after massive lore dump when it took off the first time.
Seeing it be revived by kane with his "show don't tell" approach is absolutely refreshing. Not everything needs an explanation, if and/or when it does it needs to nail the conclusion. Wether it's left open ended or not may deter a lot of people, but its way too early to be thinking about that. It's time to enjoy the ride.
I love how you don't just include scary stuff, you upload tape recordings and experiment logs too. Really fleshes out the mythos.
I’m amazed that these are made by someone who’s only a year older than me. I’m going to start making short films next year, but there’s no way they’re going to be this incredible! This is truly a work of art, I aspire to be like you Kane!!!

@@randomtraveler4683 thank you!!!

Anything regarding the experimentation of real world functioning portal technology automatically grabs my attention. This whole concept of the back rooms being, what appears to be, the result of experimenting with opening gateways in space time and stumbling upon a separated dimension tucked away in a hidden crawl space of the universe is so fascinating.
It’s really interesting, the way he went with world-building like it might’ve actually happened had we created the right technology. It makes it solid because there’s things we can relate back to (like work protocol)
Yeah
The way I see it the back rooms in this series are one of two things. An existing dimension that we managed to open a door to, or an artificially created dimension. In the case of the latter, I almost feel as if the ability for people to “clip” into it accidentally, and the fact that the place is filled with dangerous monstrosities, almost suggests that the universe is very much reacting negatively to this. I mean if you cheat, you shouldn’t be surprised to find a bunch of glitches.
I'm guessing you like the Half-Life universe
It’s not a portal, it’s a threshold
The sound design on this one was phenomenal. So dreamy, but the drop off at the end? You’re killing it Kane omg

@sity SHUT UP SCAMS
To the contrary, these take a tremendous amount of effort and are coming out pretty quick imo.
Growing up in the 80s and 90s, the amount of nostalgia I feel watching your videos is something I’ve not experienced in a long long time, I don’t even know how to describe it. Youve just got “it”. You’ve got this genre figured out. You should be making full length movies or a tv show.
And he manages to superimpose the old world with the current world in a way that is not contradictory but actually complementary and harmonious. They say the present is a continuation of the past so why not?
Hmm...i can almost see the setting: in the early 2000s, before 9/11, a low ranking government worker is at the right place at the right time when a careless higher up leaves a door to a surveillance ajar. Knowing it could cost them their job, but too curious to pass it up, our hero sneaks into the room and quietly closes the door. Inside they discover a pile of tapes labeled "the backrooms: file footage." The tapes are organized into "experiments" "expeditions" and "found". Our hero picks up one of the tapes, and places it into the VCR. These are the backroom tapes.
I was born in 84 and I agree. This is very reminiscent of x files, twin peaks, unsolved mysteries, etc. The nostalgia is intoxicating.
What nostalgia this isn’t related to anything before how would it remind you of anything
@@isaiahgreen9029 you can feel a sense of nostalgia without it being directly related to something specific bud.
If this is all you, the vfx, the music, the storyboarding, the sound design, everything, you are well on your way to getting scooped by a major studio (if that's your goal) because everything you make is brilliant.

@@astrogaming2379 that's exactly what I mean. If being scooped by a major studio is his goal, by all means, but these days you can completely buck the system and become that studio.
To be honest, Anybody could do storyboarding, but it takes hard work to do Music, Vfx, sound design ect.
he indeed does everything alone
I was just thinking how his ability to create light and ethereal yet disturbing and unsettling sound design and music is by itself top tier.
everything about this feels like a weird dream, the music, the color palette, the design of the equipment, it's all like one of those weird dreams I'd have as a kid that I couldn't explain and also scared the shit out of me lmao
I love how the machines themselves look disturbing and off-putting even without any context.
These instruments and the later iteration of the machine with the full-size doorway look so raw and unfamiliar, it's done so well.
I agree, I couldnt quite place my finger on it until I came across your comment. There is something entirely unsettling about the machinery and methods of accessing this world. There is that niggling thought at the back of your head saying, "we shouldn't be doing this, we are venturing into realms that we do not entirely understand." The old notion that technology has outpaced human maturity. Fascinating.
I think the best part about these machines, that Kane is creating, is that they look like how a real science experiment in a theoretical field may look like. Most sci-fi makes their experiments look so extravagant and clean and polished but this is how a real lab might test a theory. Most labs don't have budgets for extravagance or cleanliness. They make their devices to do what they want them to do and it doesn't have to look sleek if it does it's job. It adds to the realism. Makes me believe that these machines could exist in real life.
Nah it looks cool to make it into a science project
@@TheButcherClan YES the frame holding the device shown here is literally assembled from metal channel pieces, exactly how a scientist might quickly cobble together something that's "good enough" for the purpose of the experiment.
@@plixplop Exactly, that was the first thing I noticed. I've been in a lot of labs and this is what prototypes look like usually. Clunky but useable. Movies always get this idea that scientists who come up with these kinds of experiments are also excellent engineers. Not always the case. Also, notice the wiring that's draping over all of it and the way the "emitters" (that's what I'm gonna call them) are strapped on to that circular piece of metal. Excellent set design, better than most of Hollywood.
I loved the backrooms back in 2019 and to see it become what it is today courtesy of people like you Kane really is breathtaking, keep up the amazing work man.

Hi.
I really hope this wasn't the first and last time we learn about Oak Ridge and what led to this
This is still probably my favourite vid you've done. One minute thirty two seconds of perfection
I think the expedition team mentions oak ridge in another video.
Oak Ridge is actually a real laboratory in Tennessee. They are also a laboratory for the Department of Energy (interesting).
Thoughts:
It's interesting that Project KV31 is based in California, but a prototype was tested in Tennessee.
Philip R. Heymann is a Fictional Character, we may get more information about him and this video.
The laboratory is owned by the Department of Energy, so the study of the Low-Proximity Magnetic Distortion System is not a new concept for the DOE.
@@bobbobbobbobbob3045 I am actually from OakRidge TN. Specifically, right near the used to be secret lab. Most of the town agrees that they still explore some very wild areas of science (black holes, different dimensions, you name it).
I personally don’t know what to think, but I do know that they are active in nuclear engineering still, since I have friends who work there today.
Whatever they do, even my childhood best friends refuse to and absolutely will not ever speak on what they see or do.
It’s very secretive and it makes perfect sense why it’s used for this lore. Your comment was a fun read and if you ever had questions about it I’d gladly try my best to answer them here!
Theory time:
This is clearly one of the first iterations of the Threshold gateway, but what exactly did this prototype do?
The design looks like some sort of mini particle accelerator, with eight handles pointing inwards. We can see something like a marble at the center, most definitely a test object.
And what happened when the prototype activated and completed its test? The marble dissapered.
What if, the marble was the first man-made object to artificially enter the backrooms. And the one thing the researchers didn't realised was that the marble was contaminated with microbial strains..
And we know the backroom is temporally warped, meaning the marble could've ended up with billions of year's to wait for humanity to physically arrive.
EDIT: before y'all complain, yes I know that it's not a particle accelerator OR that it perfectly looks like one. The prototype is obviously a mini-threshold gate whatever. I was only using a particle accelerator as a base example for what I could perceive.
It doesn't looks like a particle accelerator imo.
Edit: We know from the earlier videos they open the portal by creating a magnetic distortion in the threshold, so my guess is this thing using some kind of powerful electromagnets, not reactors or an accelerator.
So the marble started the bacteria in the backrooms? Hmmm interesting.
Nice theory! I would say that this resembles more of a laser induced fusion reactor than particle accelrator. Currently we have small targets like this of pure gold surrounded by powerful lasers, normally from every angle not just a ring. There is no particle acceleration but instead the lasers heats the target to increadible temperatures to induce fusion to take place and creating a micro star for very short periods of time. Compression of material below a certain limit can also create mini black holes, as are theoriesd to be created by the large hadron collider. Black holes punch a hole through space time by warping it so severely. It is theorised that if you connect the inward singularity with a black hole and an outward singularity ( sometimes called a white hole) together you would get a hypothetical Einstein-Rosen Bridge, or more commonly known as a wormhole. So i would theorise that this is a wormhole generator creating a microwormhole but instead of a wormhole to a new place in our spacetime, a wormhole to the backroom dimensions. The gateway we see in earlier videos would then be an Einstein -Rosen Bridge , held open by tremendous amounts of energy, the whole output of a star like our sun, so there needs to be some hookwinking done to explain how the government can produce a reaction with a solar output but its the basis of a theory!
@@aquamote I also though it was a fusion or black hole thingy, but I like both of the theories a lot
It seems that the device created a small temporary portal to the Backrooms.

ORNL is a very real thing, yes. I have a friend who does union iron-working for them and Y12, and every time they have to fill out non-disclosure agreements. They are never told what the buildings are used for, and after the job is done they chuck the tools they used in what is basically a landfill. Why? I have no clue, and neither do they it seems. All he knows is that they pay very well.
Edit: For anyone who doesn't know, Y12 is a nuclear research facility. Just putting that out there 👌🏻
Seeing the device early on is so dope. You've heard this a million times, but I seriously can't wait to see more.
I also love that you're avoiding the lame "giant sci fi corporation template no. 3-1F" with ASYNC, and instead going for this grounded sort of thing where ASYNC is leasing out a basement from Oak Ridge to do their work or something.
Some "demigod" PI, who has bought multiple nobel prizes into the lab (either himself, or by helping with other research) has this crazy theory. The bosses figure they might as well let an old man have his fun, and fund his wacky research. Of course, his theories are crazy BS... until suddenly they aren't.
I wonder if the main purpose of this video is exactly that, to show the humble origins of The Device. Something about the creator starting in such a simple space, only to get swooped up by the government and funded up the wazoo so quickly.
The backrooms are, after all, nothing but a rumor and most likely a "accident", judging from the earlier footage.
It makes much more sense to think that a small unknown science team discovered something "unnatural", it goes wrong and then the government swooped in and covered it all up. thats at least how I interpret the videos so far, the footage all was made by ASYNC, but there is that FBI disclaimer at the start of some - hinting that in fact the FBI seized it
ASYNC is down. Now, We Have A Group Explorer Backrooms Is M.E.G (Major Explorer Group), They Can Explorer All Level Of Backroom
I'm currently doing an internship on a particle physics laboratory and the feel of early experimental design is really well captured, it's that mix of high end machinery + the DIY aspect of non-consumer devices physicists have to develop for their experiments.
These are the ONLY backroom videos I watch. Absolutely the best. I really hope some big company picks you up and has you produce and direct a big ass whole series based on this beautiful world you're building.
I one hundred percent agree with you if the Backrooms were a movie or TV series I would 100% watch it. I would play it too if somebody made a in-depth open world game
I love his work as well, but I'm worried that if it was done in a TV show sort of thing, the quality that we see now might deteriorate... That's just what I think. It's what happened with the Cuphead show.

All the Backrooms lore explanation:
In 1982 the Async foundation tries a prototype of a very large experiment, the KV31, which formally starts in 1988.
In the "third test" video, we can actually see the Complex Machine functioning, and the cientists explain that the KV31 is made for unlimited storage and house making. The machine distortes gravity and space itself to blend it which tergiversates universe itself (this would lead to the Backrooms in the future). The meta of the experiment is that that tergiversated space would be infinite and non euclidean, so humans would not have problems with storage and homes, this infinite space would save us billions of dollars.
In 1989 (First contact video) there is another test of the Complex Machine, and Its date matches perfectly with the real earthquake that happened in that exact date, Loma Prieta. Loma Prieta fucked up the test and the machine malfunctioned, creating the Backrooms. These Backrooms can be accessed by the laboratory by the personal or randomly by civils, which went missing (1990) (See "missing persons" and "Backrooms footage"). It seems to be that the Backrooms are connected to a dimension in which extrange entities live, and the missing persons are killed by an alien fungi (mold-like) that these creatures secrete, which makes peoples bodies deteriorate. (See the creatures in "Backrooms footage" and the fungi in "Autopsy").
Thanks this helped a lot!
Man people in this comment section always depict things I never notice, nice work.
Thanks a Lot for this!
It’s really cool how you are going along with this, usually people try to use the mythical or demonic spectrum of horror, but you’re using science and it’s more realistic that way.
yeah and because it's more realistic it's more scary it's so cool
it’s better because it suspends disbelief by using ‘science’. Gives the impression the back rooms are a real place
It kinda makes sense to do so, considering the thought of no clipping comes from technology in the first place
I've always felt that Weird aliens or bizarre scientific anomalies are scarier concepts than Ghosts or demons personally.
Metaphysics is simply physics we have yet to grasp.
The 80s ethereal other worldly music along with the laboratory visuals makes these Backrooms videos even more eerie. The lore is deepening and it keeps more and more ppl invested. Awesome work Kane Pixels 😎

The production quality of this series is through the roof.
So, what I'm getting from this is a first test run using a small-scale device that can transport a very small object to the backrooms or to what I call an "otherspace". It's basically proof of concept that things CAN be moved from one plane of existence to another. Of course, a tremulous amount of calculations had to precede the experiment to guess where in space the little sphere would end up. Anyways, this is a very interesting glimpse into the first steps of the project.
its pretty cool, its not all horror
Yeah, exactly. This is I think five years before the third test
So the "other space", well that is a new element on the lore. I mean, by kane lore the backrooms isn't natural, but if what you said is true so there is another NATURAL plane in existence, another dimension or another space, but the backrooms it self was made by the threshold, it's artificial. That is what I can get from this.
Edit: maybe there was nothing in there, then was backrooms. That goes beyond an horror story, that even goes to sci fi
@@L16htW4rr10r there are dates in the summary
Yeah he copied this lol ua-cam.com/video/goNn0FPWXAg/v-deo.html
I can imagine in a future Backrooms video, an exploration team finds the metal ball they teleported 8 years ago and say "Wow, that's cool. It really made it to the Complex and stayed there for 8 years untouched. Wow!"
sorry, but the metal ball would have probably melted due to the heat generated from those lasers, then it would most likely burn the carpet and possibly start a fire, depending on where it was teleported to, before solidifying into a puddle of metal.
my personal theory is that this ball is the "heart" of the complex, and the reason that the complex looks like it does could be some sort of 'referral' to the location that is shown in this video. The only real evidence I have for this is the shine that you can see on those metal barrels, its a very bright yellow/orange, almost similar to the lights in the backrooms. Maybe this place is Kane's equivalent of the original backrooms image location.
This machine is called a GO-TSe. Each cylinder is focused onto the centre which is basically a beam of ionised air. They then simultaneously fire a high intensity laser at such a tiny piece of space that it starts to tear a hole in space time itself. The largest successful space time gape was measured at 14.9 centimetres for over 3 seconds.

@Moist Beans that makes sense.
@Moist Beans any new information helps, thanks
I legitimately can't tell if people in this thread are being ironic or if they genuinely didn't get the joke.
A lot of backrooms lore theory:
If you go to Kane Pixel's Ko-fi account (in the description of his videos), and view his gallery, the first photo he posted was a picture of the monster tripod in the found footage, and it's named "bacteria". So my theory is that the tripod monster is the same thing as the hay bacillus bacteria seen in "Autopsy report" video, because in the Wikipedia page for hay bacillus, it says they are able to become motile (capable of motion) by taking up DNA from the environment. So the tripod monster is probably made up of the bacteria with the DNA of some organism (most likely a human).
I knew it, Kane is genius of making actually creepy analog horror with awesome and interesting lore 👍 Keep it up, bro
My own theory is that, since we’ve seen the back rooms distort the further you go into it, why not apply that logic to the things within it? We’ve seen bacteria in the autopsy report, and what does a yellow wallpaper traditionally have in it? Mold. So it’s likely that due to the distortion increasing the further you go, the mild distorts further and becomes that creature.
That would make sense, in the GTLive filmtheory reaction they had found a dead guy with black mold type stuff around him & it had a screen that flashed that said "Blame him" backwards or something like that
The carpet is always wet (If it's following the lore of level 0) so not hard to figure out where the mold came from
I saw another theory theorizing the tri-pod monster was actually related to the video where they were setting up the tri-pod cameras. I think you can make the connection.
@@a-tech5452 Ye for sure, i think it was the video where they show the marble floor section, the tripod there felt like it was there for a reason
or when they setup the cameras to watch multiple angles
but wouldnt this theory prove to be very easy to kill it, Since its made up of human DNA and probably the same or similar substance in biomass jsut make it a walking human. And if its not easily killed it should be simple to damage or harm with a simple handgun
The fact that this has a backstory that's only being hinted at sets it apart from most backrooms videos which are just MONSTER EAT YOU... YOU DED. The amazing production is just gravy on top of a succulent meal.

Mystery flesh national park
yeah SCP has gotten away from its early roots a bit. too many hands on deck. but that's just how it is for SCP, since there has never been a single person in charge of its direction.
The issue with SCP is that the expectation for how articles should be written has led to a loss of simplicity. Sometimes less is more. Articles nowadays tend towards explaining so much about an entry that they no longer feel mysterious of strange. There are also so many anomalous objects now that it's not really anomalous in-universe. When anomalous is the norm, it's no longer anomalous. It's analagous to the saying, "if everyone is special, no one is." I think there's an over-reliance on incorporating third-parties like Marshall Carter & Dark at times too. Not *everything* has to fit together. It takes away from the X-Files-esque "monster of the week" fun. Stuff that ties into the larger story arch (if SCP can even be said to have one) should be written more sparingly.
@@LaylaVaughan I agree there was probably nothing to stop it once it grew to be as big as it is now. It's also not to say there aren't some fantastic entries now, but im nostalgic towards the mystery of the early universe, without years of detail and backstory that's been built up. It's not anyone's particular fault, it's just the nature of a fan generated universe that exploded in popularity.
I am continually impressed with your videos. I love this. I was born 8 days before this event would have taken place.

The effect is actually probably the opposite. As I've seen stated elsewhere, Backrooms lore has been washed out and overdetailed since its creation, and it no longer has the same feel to it. Videos like these bring that original style back, keeping just enough mystery to preserve the terror factor.
@@serraramayfield9230 look at the damn link and see the video was posted 6 days before this one by kane.
@@omerd602 when you say overdetailed, you mean all the levels that people come up with?
Theory:
The device looks to be an inertial confinement fusion device, which concentrates energy via lasers to a packet of fusionable material in the middle to start the fusion process.
Taking mass-energy-equivalence into account, we can assume that large amounts of energy concentrated in a small space-time-region can create a black hole.
Now how does this connect to the backrooms? Well, black holes are regions of space where wormhole-like structures known as Einstein-Rosen-Bridges can occur, which could connect different realities. The threshold might be a stable Einstein-Rosen-Bridge connecting our universe to that of the backrooms.
It could be that the initial goal was the development of a fusion reactor, but they stumbled upon a way to make wormholes into other universes.
Of course the theory sounds good, but these are magnetic resonators and simply this is a prototype of Kv31 because on the right you can see the spinning crap that is in other videos where the process of opening the gate is shown
im dumb to think that the backrooms is like another reality trying to copy ours, it began in 1982 because of the people trying to resonate an object into a black hole. so the reality took what we had in 1982 and made an infinite space of 1982 styled rooms. and the backrooms could be a consciousness, trying to make everything impossible more possible, like having your hand go through a table. so the entities in the backrooms are somewhat impossible to even exist but exist only because its a seperate reality, if you were to fall through the ground, where will you be? if there were enough molocules for you to fall straight through the earth it would just be considered a giant hole but maybe that giant hole could be the transportation machine to the seperate reality (the complex) and over time the more the backrooms feeds in people the stronger it gets to tug in more. maybe thats the reason the number of missing people are not staying at a certain flow, but its rising and rising. soon the backrooms would just go on forever, any being in there would be impossible to stay so it would just fall apart and the backrooms would just eat our own reality

This machine is named “LBTrn-82” and is set up to send something to a different reality, in which we see, is most likely true. It’s construction is composed of focusing multiple laser beams of ionized protonic material while using only 34% of electricity. It uses a 68-L49 UP Fan, a Hydromolecular Compressor, 2 GR-ION Power Cables, and a VNLKH Stabilizer. The reason for the stabilizer is because the force of the Hydromolecular Compressor overflows the rods without the stabilizer so that’s important. The rods they use are B960 Rods (that shoot out the ionized protonic material).

Guys I think this prototype teleported to the backrooms the little object that was between the lasers
I love this, the device looks like an inertial confinement fusion reactor, the central fuel pellet and the ring of LASERs leads me to believe it is such. I like to think that Oak Ridge are researching how well fusion and atomic physics works in the Backrooms, perhaps the end result is to build a particle accelerator to determine the properties of the Backrooms themselves..

I love the focus on the laboratories, the scientists, and their work and attempts to understand and our perception is limited to their perspective which adds a lot of value to the details of the world.

i really like the 1980/90s look feel and realism to the backrooms. being a 16 year old hobbyist cinematographer myself, i really enjoy these kind of videos! my FAVROTE realistic detail is how the camara sensor and rec tape reacted to the (im assuming) extreme gamma radiation from the "Prototype". you can see similarities to this in footage of the Chernobyl Nuclear disaster when the camaras were exposed to radiation when flying above the open reactor... anyway. i went down a rabbit hole again... but i like this eerie stile of videos!

bruh momento
They do need to make more
These videos are always a treat to watch. Love how unsettling these are, like something bad is going to happen at any moment. But it leaves you wondering when it'll happen.
This prototype seems to have been used so Async could test their technology to see if they could nail it down. You can see that there was a marble at the beginning, but after the test, there wasn’t, because this device sent it to the Backrooms. This theory does create an issue with another theory though…
The theory that the Backrooms was created by Async when Async opened the portal in 1989. If that theory were true, then where did this marble go when it was teleported? Since this video was from 1982, the Backrooms wouldn’t have been created yet.
Is it possible that the Backrooms was always there, and Async just accessed it using the Threshold, which caused the fabric between our dimensions to weaken, which is why people started falling in? Or is it something more simple, like this test was a failure and the marble just melted or something and didn’t really teleport?
Anyways, amazing work, as usual. Can’t wait to see where you take this series!
That theory was made by people not knowing the Backrooms beforehand and going of the first videos. The way cane goes, the Backrooms here are probably quiet close to the internet "cannon" only a little less wacky (but we haven't seen that much of them yet, so it might get wild). Cane actually has somewhat shown that they have been there longer that Async. Namely with the stuff like the wooden wheelbarrow thats from at least 150 years ago. In all likelihood, in canes videos, just like the widely accepted version online, they always have been there and just are.
@@theexchipmunk kane’s videos have nothing to do with any other canons
I personally like the idea that Async made it. Its a lot cooler than “scary yellow office from the beginning of time oooo so scarrrryyy.” The idea that humans made something that they can’t fathom and now need to fix.
I personally think they wanted to make a storage space for people (as stated in another video), so they went into it intending to make an infinite storage space, but something went wrong with the machine causing something similar to an storage space with oddities and countless anomalies, An office space.
@Jordan River Studios As others have said, if time flows weirdly in the Backrooms, then it's possible it was still created by Async, which would explain the late 80s/early 90s decor, but due to the way time operates in there it's been accessible throughout other periods in human history as a result.

So if Ivan Beck is the vice director of Async and if Phillip here was in charge of this prototype experiment. Does that mean Phillip is the main director of Async?

Even if I’m wrong, this series is phenomenal and I’m loving it! Keep up the great work, Kane!!
This theory could be correct, the biggest “issue” with it is that ASYNC is centered in northern California, while the Oak Ridge National Laboratory is in Tennessee. This doesn’t mean that he isn’t the main director of ASYNC, but it could also be a video of some random research facility doing work on portals.
It could be anything at this point. It could simply mean that Phillip was the head scientist overseeing the experiment...
I work in the science industry and it never says the director is connected with experiments lol.
@@Jbowyerjr could be that:
1. They had did it in Colorado while the company itself was in California, possibly to show it off to US Government scientists.
2. ASYNC was originally centered in Colorado, but had to move to California and this was the test in Colorado.
3. ASYNC is possibly a branch of a US Government Research division that moved to California and had tried to perfect the experiment in Colorado.
@@MatthewT394 As there is a soundtrack made by Pixels named “Government Funding”, it can be assumed that Async started as a standalone, independent project. If that is the case, I think that 1 or 3 were the most probable out of this list.
@@hammy6968 yeah, listened to it. it'a cool, about theories though. Yeah, 1 & 3 could be true. we just have to wait and see.
Every little detail about this is perfect. I though it would be just a brief filler or sneak peek of something that’ll be significant further on, but I was in awe of the music, the great taste in the pacing, the consistency in the design of all the tech shown… it’s just a one-minute, three-shots piece but I loved it so much. So many others have said it already, but to me you are a genius. Thank you for making this Backrooms series, fr.
I’ve never clicked on a video faster. This series is absolutely amazing. I truly hope you receive some kind of recognition for all the effort you’ve put in to these videos. You’re amazing.
considering that the videos were released once every 2-3 weeks, and now they are gone for a month, something grand is waiting for us
kane has said it will be 12 mins long. i am looking forward to what it might entail.

Hey Kane, know you probably won't read this but I just want to say: PLEASE don't feel the need to rush this series.
This is seriously amazing and I know you want to capitalize on the current success, but you have REAL talent. The last thing this series needs is for you to rush things out just to appease the audience. I know you are probably well aware of that but I feel like the temptation has to be there seeing how you're getting a big amount of exposure from this. You're killing it and we all want to see what you have in store but don't feel like you need to be destroying yourself to accomplish it. A slow trickle of great content is better than a steady diet of half finished content just or the sake of satiating the audience (not saying this or any other videos seem rushed - I just know how I would feel if I were getting this much attention on something I created). I am SO excited to see what you do. This series is so great!
This!!! Im honestly worried about him, like, theres gotta be a lot of pressure on him
So cool, I love the technology/science-like aspect that you are putting into the backrooms, gives it an awesome sci-fi feel. Can’t wait for more!
Well i did it first so....lol ua-cam.com/video/goNn0FPWXAg/v-deo.html my other channel. 5 days ago
I honestly find your videos and lore to be significantly more interesting than the fandom wiki lore. Thanks for this amazing content, Kane!
Fun fact - oak ridge Newtonian Laborite is an actual place with a UA-cam channel. Kane actually borrowed some clips from them to make this video!
I just realized that the videos are placed in chronological order of events in the playlist while the release of each video is shuffled it really feels like we're the ones that solves it's mystery piece by piece
These are so good! It doesn't feel like you're creating and uploading them. It feels more like you're secretly leaking actual footage from some secret lab. It's amazing!! Love seeing more of your work!
Promise us that one day when you make it big in Hollywood (and you will) that you will make a full blown movie. This is such top tier film making. Keep it up!
I love these kinds of videos. It feels….. atmospheric? Creepy? Awesome? Idk how to describe such amazing videos.
This was a very unexpected turn, but I wish you luck on the incredible series you're making, and what you have in store for us!
its also unexpected for theft ua-cam.com/video/goNn0FPWXAg/v-deo.html
@@philyjfry that's a fusion reactor. But I don't know.
@@vizkiz.4431 yeah does it matter? The video is the same in nature and has the exact same name
@@philyjfry I don't know, man...
@@vizkiz.4431 doesn't it seem a but sussy to you
Animation ON POINT as usual 🤌🤌
I think its awesome how this backroom stuff has taken shape over the last two years thanks to the free creativity of the internet and this channel is totally helping excel it. Great stuff and keep it coming!!!
Man I love these , the music is very under rated and design is so amazing, I don’t know how Kane pixels does it but he’s very inspiring and genius, I hope he gets interviewed by people soon it’d be really good for him to like answer peoples questions
Your prop work is ace. Haven’t seen many analog horror/thriller series with this level of prop department. You’re definitely going the extra mile. And it is very much appreciated. Nice work Kane.
Thats the thing, I think this is all CGI? That's what I'm getting from the comments on every video
Yooo 0:05 What is Rick Astley doing in the backrooms?!
he gonna rickroll the monsters
@@disqualify. Duller : AAAAAAAAHH
@A-Sync Research Institute Foundation 1983-Now KV31 I'm just doing a jokes
Wdym bro, how are you seeing rick astley
Your videos are beyond fantastic. Not only have you breathed fresh life into the Back Rooms, you've found a completely original way of doing it with previously unseen levels of fidelity and care.
Please, never stop what you're doing
You PERFECTLY captured the essence of video in the 80s, especially the room and lighting. That weird orange/yellow from high sodium lighting in big manufacturing/lab facilities is perfect.
I cant believe how you are getting these animations or short films done in such low amount of time and they are all so good and flawless with no errors
in kanes motion detected video, the guys walk cycle at 2:25 is kinda floting at the ground and sliding
I love how Kane turned this simple internet story into a full Blair Witch Project-Style series, love it
Caught up with the series, and gotta say, the lore is getting really interesting. Can't wait to see what comes next.
I don't know why the music of the 90s and 80s seems really strange and terrifying because it contains more nostalgia, nightmares, and a strange feeling as well. Thank you, Ken.

im just ken pixels
I live near the Oak Ridge area, and have always heard wild rumors about the place. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they come forward with info on multiple universes soon, from the experiments they’ve been doing there. These are by far the “coolest” backrooms videos so far, better than anything else created in this genre so far. East Tennessee has some weird and wacky mysteries to it, looks like the origins of The Backrooms is a new one to add to the list.
1:03 This flash looks the same as in the "The Third Test" or "First Contact" video. If it is, then that explains a bit what's going on in this video.
I think this is probably first one
It could be a prototype of project KV31.
@@Mikethewolf-h9m that was exactly what I was thinking also by the title
Remember the green light? Now look at the last moments of “Found footage 2”
We know time acts strange, so it’s possible the girl went back to the 70s.
Dude this is awesome you have such amazing talent. it kinda makes me want to try out animating and such but I’m not up to that. Keep up the great work
