The scary thing about the backrooms is how lawless and abandoned it is, kinda like England
Lmao
You got a loicense for that?
@@DEFxRECON yew got o loicense fo tha?
One is an endless hell and the other is The backrooms
Do you have a loicense for that criticism?
His name has a double meaning
Kane is a different way to write Cain, the first murderer according to the bible
and Pixels as in the Adam Sandler movie
Yes, double meanings of cosmic significance
Pixels was the best movie ever it made over 1pixillion dollas
BIG FACTS
FACTS THAT ARE BOTH LARGE AND TRUE
Based
It's hard to believe Kane is only 4 days old and is this talented.
Crazy how he went from aot videos to backrooms videos
Lol right, when this dude gets all big and famous, let's make sure he never forgets....Attack on Titan
Don’t forget his Human Sadness The Voidz video :)
Actually he started with a paper that said “Real Sandwich”
I remember watching his rumbling videos before the backrooms video came out. His interpretations of the rumbling were really good, and showed that aot is way more terrifying than the fandom thinks it is.
To be fair, making back rooms videos isn’t a big deal compared to making attack on titan videos. When it you put it that way it doesn’t sound impressive. In fact, the back rooms was ruined by 7 year olds before Kane pixels got there.
It’s his execution. The back rooms is just the prompt. He is just extremely talented.
Homie’s a bona fide genius. At 17 he sounds like a grown ass man and animates like he has 30 years experience on a LAPTOP. He’s a legit prodigy
Wait he does this on a pc laptop? Dang, I thought that he made it on a desktop, but I guess I was wrong
i like how even though he kickstarted the whole 2022 backrooms trend which eventually devolved into youtube kids content (its become bad enough to the point where my art teacher talked about her kid's interest in the backrooms), he still hasnt lost sight of his original vision. keep up the good work, both of you
Depends on the kids. I taught an 8 year old girl who knew what Sirenhead is, it just made me think "this kid is cool"
yeah man exactly it got so oversaturated and click-baity but Kane stayed true to his vision.
Any of those kids could be the next Kane Pixels one day, seems like a lame thing to harp on. Literally gatekeeping a 4chan creepypasta lol. Even says it himself, just avoid if you don't want to because ultimately he'd do the same as a kid
Its always annoyed me slightly how cool ideas like the Backrooms or Siren head get milked to death so quickly and hard, but that’s just how it is.
Why is it bad that your art teacher talked about it? Agist much?
i knew kane was insanely talented making his backrooms series at 17, but my god after this interview i realize he's got even more talent right now than i could possibly imagine having by the time i die. sometimes the stars align and exceptional creators are born, kane is definitely one of them
dont put yourself down while complimenting someone else; everyone's got equal potential, u just gotta put some work into it
Comparison is the biggest thief of joy. Put some effort into something you love and you could become one of the greatest at what you do.
@@qmulus_yt The stars do still align, though. Somebody on another video said we were watching the early career of another Spielberg or Coppola, and I, for one, can beleive it.
@@worldcomicsreview354 the myth of natural talent does nothing but discourage people from being as skilled as who they look up to
exactly what they all said - talent just means you cared enough to put a lot of time into something. Kane talks like someone who's done a TON of work and learned things from it, but believe me, everybody starts out bad. We just don't usually see that stage of their work!
Weird that they spoke of Portal, because when I first watched those backrooms videos, the first thing that came to mind was Half-Life. Like, this company discovered and opened up a portal to the Backrooms and started sending researchers to it, kinda like how Black Mesa stumbled upon Xen while studying teleportation in the Lambda Labs and started sending HEV researches to it.
I believe Kane also made a Portal animation way back in 2021
Yeah it reminds me more of Half-Life, Black Mesa was "Curiosity killed the cat"
The liminal/empty feeling that the Source Engine creates is what the Backrooms reminded me of.
he’s made portal videos in the past you should check them out they’re great

@@celticfrost86 Yes?
I'm forty freaking years old, and I'm constantly amazed by how well Kane Pixels absolutely nails the visual look and feel of media from the late eighties and early to mid nineties like he was there. Obviously he wasn't, but it's amazing to see someone who didn't even exist back then perfectly recreate what things looked liked back then with the video quality, the graphics, etc. It shows an incredible amount of work and research.
This kid is nuts. I'm 31 and he sounds smarter and more articulate than me and he's 17 lol
Yeah I've seen some other stuff that's supposed to be from projectors in the 50's, or filmed on a camcorder in 2004, and there's not a hint of tape hiss, I think some of it was even 16:9!
Agreed. He makes me believe in natural artistic genius. I keep thinking of a young Stanley Kubrick...except he's on UA-cam.
How embarrassing.
All the other clone channels dont even come close
I genuinely believe Kane is going to change the horror landscape in general, not just on UA-cam or the "UA-cam/Analog" horror scene.
This kid is destined for greatness.
As long as he doesn’t change by going to a school or corporate situation, he should do well. He has a sense of humility, and a ton of talent. I really hope he stays where he is at, and keeps plugging. As soon as he starts involving adults, they will try to change him.
@@lfrankow it's more so to not do something just because it's mainstream. Do it because you want to do it, and try to stay away from depending solely on money from Big Hollywood. They honestly have lost their footing, where they won't take any risks. It's why we see more remakes funded than newer or different stuff. Sometimes going indie as a creator is better
If he keeps on this path, he's going to be the next Clive Barker or Stephen King or George Romero, etc etc.
And I mean that. This is how people like David Lynch start out. By just passion projects.
definitely not this is only staying in the youtube zone lmao
@@fartdoodoostinkfart6864 he's speaking of the creator's trajectory, not the backrooms. To already have this level of talent and focus at only 17 is pretty amazing. He's got a hell of a future ahead of him.
The fact this teenager took a 4chan meme and turned it into his career is simply fantastic.
its not an meme its an creepypasta
@@Emptin3s anything that has a cultural impact and repetition is technically a meme. It is a creepypasta that is a meme. There are plenty of creepypasta's that havent become a meme.
THE BACKROOMS ISNT A MEME ITS FAMILIAR PLACE AND NOT SOMETHING TO BE LAUGHED AT LIKE A MEME
It's Not A Choo Choo, It's A Locomotive
@@TheeRyanisn't that basically the dream valley stuff
I'm incredibly impressed by how articulate he is. I've seen plenty of professionals "um" and "uh" their way through interviews, but Kane doesn't miss a beat here. He has a very good grasp on the ideas that he wants to get across.
This kid is so articulate and creative- you’ve gotta respect the grind.
Massive respect to the dude
The kid's literally rambling the whole time. Articulate sure, but that doesn't mean it's interesting.
@@austinsparklebarf7048 not really its a interview he kinda has to talk
@@austinsparklebarf7048 I mean he is 17, it’s just remarkable that he was able to create something like this.
@@austinsparklebarf7048 if you aren't familiar with or invested in the subjects/points or have the attention span of a gnat, maybe it would appear to be rambling or uninteresting. This kid knows his references and hardly stumbled or rambled in his explanations and future plans. It was an entire uncut conversation and interview that covered a variety of things not only in-depth, but thoughtful as well. It's extremely impressive; and for those like myself who enjoy the behind the scenes of directors and other creators, it's also extremely interesting.
As a 16 year old who's had tons of ideas floating around in my head but hardly done anything with them, this interview was incredibly inspiring. Big props to Kane
100.
The fact that kane scared himself a few times while making the found footage video is hilarious 😂
19:45
It sounds like something that would happen to me while working with blender
If often wondered if the special effects team working on horror movies got scared while checking their own edits. This answers it 🤣🤣🤣
as a fellow 17 year old, this guy's a huge inspiration to me for the quality of work and the incredible success he's had. this interview was epic, thanks so much for doing it mate!
Kane is a savant, I truly mean that. For a 17-year-old, the way he speaks and thinks and is able to put his thoughts into words, he is insanely mature and intelligent for his age, I cannot wait to see what he produces in the future. He could easily have his own studio.
“Waterslides, and waterslides, and they really like waterslides for some reason”. Lol
If I didn't know he was 17, I would think Kane was in his mid 20s. He has a lot of maturity to him. Sounds like he has a really good head on his shoulders, I can tell he's going places for sure.
No, age isn't a metric of his maturity or ability. I'm sorry, but people should stop treating child/teen artists as exceptional just because of their age.
Adults aren't the ethereal polymaths they impose themselves to be.
@@neonfroot niggr xddddd
"kids nowadays are lazy, they don't want to waste their life in an office like their parents did!"
a literal teenager creating one of the best horror series on the internet while being self taught: hold my non-alcoholic beer
Yep
No this guy is just the exception that proves the rule
He literally sits in front of a computer for hours upon hours of day working.
Kinda like said parents. You Zoomers really need to slow down your goldfish brains and think about what you're saying before trying to be profound.
Not trying to disagree but saying “wasting your life in a cubicle” doesn’t really sell the idea to be honest.
not trying to be judgy but non alchohlic ewwww. to each their own, Cheers
1:56:02 There's actually more subtle third: In the episode Pitfalls, we can hear on the radio a music ("Kids" from MGMT) that will be released 18 years after the events taking place in said episode.
what time stamp in pitfalls
@@scp-armedresearchfacility1730 11:30 It's very subbtle but I know I'm not the only one who noticed it.
EDIT: If you want to compare with the "MGMT - Kids (Official HD Video)" video on you tube, it's at 1:10 on their music.
As a 17 year old, I find Kane’s work to be super inspiring and it’s just so cool that he was able to create something to the caliber of this
Really appreciate the use of the Backrooms footage throughout this interview, makes it much more engaging. Especially for someone unfamiliar with Kane's videos, definitely made this a good watch
In the early to mid 90's my father managed a tobacco shop in the city's biggest mall. This was back when malls were way more popular. The mall itself was built in the late 70's I think. My dad would babysit me on Saturdays and I'd wonder around until the mall closed. Some times he would take me through these backrooms and hallways that connected to the stores. It was very reminiscent of this. I remember the air was stale, the smell was kinda almost moldy, but also like it was old and a lot of people had passed through. Kinda like a old Disney world ride. The walls were cement but painted the same off yellow.
Old 70’s malls have that same aesthetic, it’s the nostalgia that makes this so fun.
What blows my mind is how intelligent and creative this guy is. When I was 17, yeah I was working on my craft and building myself and portfolio, but now I'm almost 20 years into my career and I still don't feel as creative and articulate as he comes off. Congrats to Kane. His attitude, his drive and his work is all amazing and inspirational. Perfect interview.
he is doing it for himself rather than for a company goes a long way.
whe. u do things for u... passion n creativity is not stiffled.
This dude is AWESOME, 17 and this masterful at his art. I feel what Wendigoon said about having cool ideas but them staying ideas. I definitely don’t want my ideas to stay in my head, so it makes me happy to see Kanes work be appreciated at such an early point in his journey. He’s an inspiration and I’m excited to see where his series takes me
I'm excited we get to see Kane's journey into cinematography at such an early point. I look forward to seeing his name in the big screen!
For me its frustrating. Because it shows me, whats possible. But I neigher have the knowledge nor the creativity, to create something from my mind. I have ideas, but those are always loose notes that doesn't fit together. My study doesn't make it better. I study photography and media and there are many cool things we can do. But I don't get it to a point, where I am happy with it. And we are not really supported. They want classical art, no experiments and theres always the pressure of being perfect, to become famous and get enough money to make a living from your work. And then there turn up kids halfas old as me and throw out a complete world together with state of the art-footage. Maybe I should crawl back into the factory and stemp car-parts for the rich...
@@ToteDichter1984 or try something else instead of beating yourself down
I studied fashion design, and my designs were always rejected and criticized negatively. But I graduated, worked on factories for some time to get some experience and have slithered my way around more and more creative companies.
I'm not a famous millionaire fashion designer, but I am at a job where I do what I love and pays well enough. I didn't get here by giving up or comparing myself to more skilled designers
@@5Demona5 I know, I should not compare myself. But its so damn hard. And our german culture isn't very helpful. Eat or die, thats the mentality here. If you do art, they hate you and ask you permanently, why you don't study business. They only accept you, if you get it right and start something. And my professors seem to have their beloved geniuses, they support. Those students get their pictures in magazines and galeries. It feels like getting thrown out all the time and no matter you do, they hate it. Or do they hate you? That's the question that comes in mind. I fear, that I wasted time and effort for something, that will not be able to pay my rent and food. And Germany is in a crisis. Its hard for those, who have money. For those without like me, its a death sentence right now. And I studied art. 🤦♂️ The only thing I ever wanted to do is moviemaking. I invested hard on it, but different than in the US, you have to attrant filmschool to call yourself a moviemaker. They don't accept people who had different carreers. I try to slip in via photography, but this awful european mentality of "if you didn't studied it, you aren't worthy" freaks me out. I don't know, if you get what I mean. But you are right. I should not compare..... 😬
Kane is amazing. He’s created such an amazing story at such a young age. He truly is talented. Can’t wait for ff2!
AYOOO
So did you watch FF2 yet???
@@Tortman18
I watched it within the hour of its release!
This child. The talent.
@@nothinghere1698 Seriously!! He’s an absolute genius. I went to bed last night hoping for a new upload and got woken up by the alert.
@@Tortman18 YESSS I AM SO AMAZED! It was 100% worth every second of the wait. It was so suspenseful and scary. Probably one of my top favorites of the series yet so far besides pitfalls!
Perfect timing for the release of Found Footage two tomorrow, great interview!
I’m just curious, when did he say it would be released tomorrow? I listened to the whole thing but maybe not well enough and this comment has been on my brain since reading it. I’m just so excited for the next one
@@JordynnAlexis He announced it in the General chat of his discord server
@@a-indefinite6804 that’s how I missed it, kept checking kane updates and saw nothing. Thank you!
@@JordynnAlexis No problem 👍
Hope you enjoyed it haha. I certainly did.
If there is a Backrooms movie one day, I don't think anyone would argue to have Kane heavily HEAVILY involved, if not part of directing or executive producing. With all the media he's created for the series, he understands creating tension and DEEP existential unease.
Have Kane Pixels do one Backrooms movie and Matt Studios make another, if they don't somehow collab in this scenario. They tackle different things about the Backrooms, but where Kane is making his own lore wholesale, Matt focuses solely on environment and liminal spaces. Besides, it's been a while since we had twin movies.
oh boy did this comment age very well, kane got a deal with A24 and he will be directing the movie
Of all people to make "THE Backrooms series," I'm glad it was Kane! He has so much talent and is all around a genuine guy, props to him, and thanks for interviewing him :)
Kane’s backrooms content is the definitive lore on it, in my opinion. Everything else is second class.
100%
There is no definitive lore
@@slabman6262he phrase “in my opinion” is important here. they’re not saying this is the correct lore, they’re just saying it’s their favorite.
As someone who started a hobby in my teens, and later was lucky enough to turn it into a business, I gotta say, its friggin hard! Props to Kane for sticking it out and making an absolute internet masterpiece!
1:13:00 shout-out to Sobog for creating his own backrooms series of shorts around the same time that Kane's first short took off. Sobog quit because of how Async took over UA-cam but his take of what was going on in that space was pretty cool too.
i actually love how he explained the progress of learning how to use the right techniques and tools especially from a young age and expiriementing with different stuff until you can make your visions come to life just the way you imagined it. i feel like so many young people with so many creative ideas out there online could use these tips. programs (especially like after effects and other creative softwares) have so many tools and features for so many different uses. taking inspiration and looking up specific techniques that you'd like to explore before learning every single feature in one program you're experimenting with is nothing to be ashamed of! it is VERY frustrating and unnecessary, you don't have to master every single tool and start from beginner guides, you might also find other softwares with specific tools that could also help you out in the way and find the most comfortable tools to make stuff you like, and maybe even find people who could help you out in other tools you're having a hard time with. it's all about creativity and experimenting! :) as someone who started with windows movie maker in elementary school, i can confirm.
This. Without any knowledge whatsoever, I learned the ins and outs of adobe animate and basically mastered it within a year. I now collaborate with several people, one guy covers the sound and editing, and it really helps to fully realize these projects and takes the stress of that work off my shoulders. It's cool to learn all the tools necessary, but if it feels over your head don't be afraid to reach out for additional help in the areas you don't have expertise in.
Let’s just appreciate how awesome Kane is, he’s like the kid at school who’s nerdy, but still really cool
This guy will, as long as that is something he actually Want, have an insane career in film. He's a pioneer in indie filmaking and I imagine he'd be incredible at a large Hollywood studio as well, as long as he's allowed to work with What he wants and How he wants. So Kane, when Hollywood comes knocking, make sure you get to keep your artistic freedom and make Your vision, not the studio's.
Incredible work and I can't wait to see more.
Return we ie
I’m gunna put this here in case I’m right: I think the complex is the mind of a sick child. I think that the more random parts of the map (the cabin, the house, etc) are memories the child has, maybe even relating to the sickness or accident that has hospitalized them. I believe this is why “The Yellow Wallpaper” book is relevant. I believe the life forms are manifestations of either the sickness or the child’s subconscious. I believe the reason Kane said “7” and “Pennsylvania” at the very end of the video was in reference to the age and location of the child. I believe this may be the daughter or granddaughter of Beck, or someone else, and the only chance they have at saving the child is opening this new reality, “inside the mind” of the kid. I do not know how the time travel aspect would play into it, but that’s what I’ve got.
Also, big props to Wendi for truly being an interviewer beyond his years
2 legendary content creators just chatting 🤩
To Wendigoon, thank you so much for always putting out your marvellous content!!
To Kane Pixels, not only is your Backrooms content extraordinary, but your AOT animations ('Declaration of War' in particular) actually hooked and intrigued me into continuing the manga/ anime series again, after dropping it for a few years.
I hope one day Isayama sensei himself would take notice of your masterpieces😊
The stars have aligned to have 2 UA-cam legends collab in one video
It’s actually really cool hearing that Kane pixels has some connections to little big planet as that series was instrumental in shaping the things I’ve made/make to this day.
heyyyy geo
Love that Kane's videos show and don't tell, relying on the intelligence of the viewers to put the pieces together, speculate and actually use their imagination to fill in the blanks by themselves.
This dude sounds so mature and apparently has a crazy work ethic. I'm sure he's going places and soon.
crazy how kane and I have an identical learning path in VFX. From Element 3D to Industry standard tools to create literally anything. He deserves all the success and I look forward to his continued rise. Shaping up to be great young man too. Cheers Wendigoon for getting the man on 🍻
as someone who works in a research institute, i appreciate that, in this case, it's just people studying something, the "they've never touched a gun" really got me because i can't imagine me or any of my coworkers ever touching ANY guns, we're just a bunch of nerds
ok take it easy nancy guns arent gonna just up and shoot you. That statement to me sounded like they are the most evil, vile things to ever exist. its people who kill. guns are not alive. K
oh real quick you can be a nerd and touch lots of things. just saying
Kane's already an incredible talent; but I just can't wait to see how really prolific he becomes within his established platform and even further if he decides to continue onwards with it through the rest if his adult life.
Kane is extremely eloquent and insightful, good job Wendigoon on the interview
"7" + "Pennsylvania" are actually really helpful, thx
hmu if you find anything!
Loved this interview and your recap of the backrooms series. Kane seems like a really down-to-earth and humble guy. Everybody freaks that he’s just 17, but that just means he’s destined for an amazing future.
Thanks for just letting him just talk, your love of sci-fi and casual approach to interviewing really let him open up.
People like Kane are so inspiring, just hearing the genuine passion in his voice and engagement in his own material is so heartwarming. Stuff like this makes the internet the awesome creative place it is.
So psyched to see this! I’d love to have some ASYNC merch to go with my Aperture science gear. 😁
Kane sells official merch. You can check it out on his channel. I'm not posting the link here, since when someone posts a link in a UA-cam comment, it's usually a scam.
Gotta love subtle merch... keeps the normies unsure if it's a nerd thing or just a company they haven't heard of.
Totally agree about how general courses don't help me learn things and instead having a specific goal and learning how to do things for that goal. Kane you a cool cat
I actually subscribed to him way back when those "playing music over the tornado sirens" videos came out, I thought they were pretty funny, and stayed for the cool VFX.
It's mindboggling. Your 17 years old the same age as me and you've made a masterpiece that millions of people enjoy. Good job man don't give up
Kane is incredibly talented and the fact the dude's only 17 makes it even more incredible. I'd love to see him do some things in the SCP universe. Not just in terms of 3D modeling, but in writing entries as well because he's also a great writer. Godspeed, young man.
It’s crazy you posted this here but it got RECOMMENDED! This channel gonna blow up like the main hopefully
I'm impressed as hell at how sharp this kid sounds. Hope he's applying to the best schools. I'll be sad if he doesn't have a long career in the effects industry.
Kane is so good at not giving anything away
Wendigo: Who is the protagonist and antagonist?
Kane: yes.
I am a Brit in my fifties but love the backrooms series (although coming from it from an Urbex perspective)
I love the eighties/nineties feel, and yes the original soundtracks are great too.
Great interview with a modern artist.
What does being a brit have to do with this? Just asking?
@@micah3331 - I don't think 'backrooms' is much of a thing in the UK - I stumbled across this stuff because of Urbex and liminal / abandoned spaces which I find fascinating.
@@andyfield7397 ohhh gotcha
@@micah3331 I didn't mind you asking - I really like the spin off backrooms, like the pool rooms
@@andyfield7397 I like the pool rooms too! They're my favorite spin off of the backrooms!
Kane is the greatest creator of the Backrooms content by far. The effort he puts into his videos in incomparable, and he is able to make almost every scene feel real, it feels like you are there and that the footage is plausible.
It's crazy how young and driven he is
Some of the most original filmmaking I've seen in a long long long time.
Man, hearing Kane talk about this series just makes me appreciate all of the content that he's put out so far, and even more excited for where this series is going.
I adore how both of you are absolutely fanboying each other at the beginning. It's so wholesome
I didn’t think Portal or even Half-Life as mentioned elsewhere in the comments. I thought about the movie series “Cube”. Not about the mechanics but more about infinite rooms that have the potential to be deadly. This is great and genius.
That moment of mutual admiration in the beginning was so sweet
1:57:15 probably the best part of the whole thing.
I need a word for the feeling of disappointment and admiration that happens when you see someone create something that you thought of, but you never got around to creating it for whatever reason.
Every story has been told and re-told a million times through the centuries. There are just variations on existing stories and themes. Find your own variation - something that means something to you - and dig in and do it. ;-) The "backrooms" wasn't even Kane Pixels' idea - it was someone on 4chan and a single image, really. He just took that idea and made a series out of it.
.."Bittersweet" maybe? idk lol
Thats what I have, still have is still not on the youtube market, but Its not for me to do
Reasons
Money
Time
Work
Fatgigue
And the biggest reason Lack of wisdom for these things since I dont have that entrepreneur mindset I just lack that
I knew about the backrooms in around 2020 but wasn't really that interested in it. To me it just seemed like a boring set of repeating rooms with some strange things happening. But then when this series came out it changed my whole view on it. Now I am kinda a backrooms nerd 🤓
Absolutely, I'm in the same boat
literally exactly the same for me
Same.
"Seven"
- Kane Pixels
Holy cow the air sirens thing was you!!! Yeah I remember that, I bought it as legit when I first saw it, and it was only after a while and several different iterations I realized it was, with the help of UA-cam comments, in fact fake.
Kane makes better films than most Hollywood producers have made in 20 years. I am so done with Hollywood, I would rather watch independent creators make great narratives with intuitive and innovative methods any day of the week. If Kane intimidates us because of his age, intellect and creativity - than you probably should be, and that's normal.
1:26:55 "There's a lot to this series that hasn't... been shown"
Dude I'm so hyped for this, also I wonder if he will continue making these videos or if he'll just transition to moving everything to the film he's going to create. Will be interesting to see how that plays out.
That isn’t what he’s gonna do, the movie isn’t the end of the series
"i remember, as a kid, seeing thess apeture mugs" oh boy, now i feel old. i was 22 when portal came out. this interview really shows me difference in generation. kids nowadays have basically free access to all creative platforms and all the tools to make something. when i was 11, there was just so little around and everything was kinda highly complex and little on online tutorials. best thing you could learn in the mid 90s was html because everything else was a book big enough to kill horse with. its a big difference if you were born in 85 or in 2005. and the phrase with "kids on the internet, we were all there" very much depends on how old you are. when youre born in 1979 and got your first contact with the web in 1997.. well then. same goes for me, i was 14 in 1999 when i got access to the web, although it depends on what you consider a kid. if 18, then even kane is still a kid today
oh my god, i actually remember that “hacking the air sirens” video, in middle school?? that’s insane
I love how articulate and clearly passionate Kane is. His series is so creative and impressive, I can't wait to see what else he makes.
Also, first time I found out he has merch, so I'm excited to help fund this lad.
*Omg so happy, so happy, so happy!!!*
To hear from BOTH of you. Kane I LOVE yopur work, and Wendigoon; I love EVERYTHING about you!
I live how kane doesn’t do the stupid entities like smilers or skin givers, and doesn’t explain anything directly
Really need a Alex Kister interview
The way he talks about fl studio tutorials is so similar to my workflow what a absolute chad
Kane! really loving your backroom videos and that you want to dwelve more into the lovecraftian / cosmic horror sounds like an amzing time... there is not a lot of good content out there but yours is top notch! I write roleplaying adventures using the call of cthulhu system and your videos inspired me to adapt it someday!
I remember coming across his page when he was uploading AOT videos, what an amazing progression.
Great interview! I'm glad I discovered that Kane, apart from being a great artist, it's also a nice guy (at least he seems to be) Pretty interiesting questions and pretty good answers. I can't wait to know how this ends!
self teaching for yourself is always the best way.
passion n drive vs learning it in school is so different
"When I was 7" that's like 10 years ago! This dude is really something
This man said “7, Pennsylvania” then dipped.
Can’t wait to come back to this comment when that makes sense
1:26:16
is when the questions about the lore begin
Thank yoou
51:18 That's an interesting topic to go over since, it feels that with every new analog horror series being created, there's always that one crazy theory that shouldn't work, but has enough evidence to be backed up. Not only that, but if that theory gains traction, the creator themself will have to shut it down since it wasn't their original intention.
I was thinking that his videos kinda have the same feeling as the portal games and no wonder it is an inspiration to him. Perfectly captured the best parts of the games into his videos like a fine cherry on top.
What a smart kid. And very inspirational too.
I'm trying to get blender working on my computer. He is inspirational.
Great interview. I can't wait to see more of Kane's work!
19:45 lmfao the fact that he jumpscared himself multiple times by accident is absolutely incredible
I can't believe how much positivity and inspiration you two shared with us throught this interview !
I hope you'll be able to keep doing what you love and are good at, we need more people like you !
so essentially: IVAN BECK IS THE PROBLEM
I can see with some monetary support Kane making an immersive, competent and horror filled backrooms game. Or whichever platform is in the works should definitely take Kane on as an advisor/director for the game.
Or movie
One of my favorite by products of Kane’s success has been the re-emergence of the Trendwatch channel. Both are so good!
I love Kane Pixels love for the ARG art form. Keep doing what you're doing! You're a god of the art!
