It would be awesome to see you recreate some old Hollywood scenes. You could pick your Best Picture Favourites from the 30s to somewhere like end of 50s, maybe even 1920s. Love your work and I hope someday to meet and work with you. You are an inspiration to me!
That's a video hangover. I get it all the time, with people getting more and more skilled in videography. Hope you'll find something to match up this experience.
I got so smiley for the genius of this video I was like "I don't care if this guy has only this video on his channel I'm subscribing" (I haven't opened the channel yet I don't wanna worry)
14 years into my marriage, and it's the best!! Married to a creative man who does post-production audio with two very spirited children. Every day is a crap shoot as to how exhausted or content we'll feel, but we wouldn't do it any different. May this content creator be so happy!
This is by far the most underrated channel on youtube. William’s videos are mesmerizing and the effort that goes into them is unmatched. Let’s help him get to 1M+ subs !!!
Crazy that you make these videos free and available to anyone, recreating the dirt from the Oppenheimer explosion like that, definitely shows your love and dedication for this craft.
unironically, there were a couple of shots that looked better than the originals. Additionally, your music choice is top notch especially when paired with your pacing.
You cannot be serious. It is indeed impressive and extremely interesting deep dive into the process, but there is still so so so much separating these shots from the references.
@@zangasperic11 I am serious. The problem with having a discussion such as this, is the subjectivity of the matter. We may never agree, it's just an opinion; perhaps my comment shows a certain level of naivety in regard to cinematography. However, I can't help but value what others think and judging by the ratio in the comments it is clear I'm not alone. The 'couple' shots I found particularly impressive were, the holdovers and Barbie shots. I love the Oppenheimer shot, I am just slightly bothered by the lack of splodges and texture on the fireball.
@@alexanderlintott4286 Interesting. I haven’t seen the Barbie shot, and I agree that the individual Oppenheimer shot could be up for debate. Since your comment was under this video, I took it to mean that the shots from this video were better than the originals. However, aside from the Oppenheimer shot, I still very much disagree with that perspective.
just a little tip: a good way to test if things are waterproof or not is to place a piece or a few pieces of toilet paper in them. its very absorbant so you'll know if its bad proofing if you pull out wet paper :) you are great btw.
I absolutely loved this video due to the incorporated audio, sound effects, and music. I mean, how those tense moments were amplified with that dramatic soundtrack just added so much in depth and intensity. Man, I was literally on the edge of my seat! Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with next!
the fact you expertly recreated the shots is impressive enough. But the storytelling and production of the video itself makes this next level. subscribed after one watch.
Incredible job! I'm really impressed with the maestro shot in particular. With all these shots, you really don't realize how much work goes into what appears to be a "simple" shot. This has been awesome and so informative.
That killers of the flower moon scene is insane !! Now I need a camera and friends who share the same passion of cinema as me haha You guys are awesomely inspiring
I can't believe this kind of content is available for free to watch. It contains so much useful information and is a very well-constructed video. New sub mate
man, this is stunning work! This video is so fun to watch, but also really informative! I also love that you don't just buy expensive gear, but you try to do the things yourself
To be honest, as someone who's learning and wants to do filmmaking, your videos are inspiring and teach me a lot in a special way. Most of the facts that your explaining like lenses, lightning etc... i'm familiar with that, but I just love to see the proces. The way you're thinking about how to make the shots happen, just helps me so much, because I can see how actually of the rails and crazy I can get, because no matter how an idea is silly, it might be your winning point. Thank you :)
This is just INSANELY detailed and talented. 10/10, I wish I had a fraction of your motivation. Not only are the shots of the actual pieces beautifully made, the actual video itself has a ton of really beautiful shots and angles that make the whole thing feel like a film and not just thr parts that recreate films.
I love how you put the price tag on it. I think that is what gets people to click more. It helps alot of us interested understand that Hollywood, though working on a different budget, is also throwing money away and that these things with our creativity and skill can in some ways compete without the huge crazy budget.
Man to be real honest beautiful shots are what made me go into movies in the first place. It captivates me so much I often think how cinematographers make such shots. Seeing you do them in a budget friendly manner is amazing and motivating for many cinematographers and film makers. You deserve more recognition and followers my friend.
I have been waiting for this series’ continuation! You did an incredible job at capturing and recreating each film’s tone! Can’t wait to see what you’re up to next!! Congrats on the wedding!
I did a similar shot of smoke/fire outdoors and I used a long AC duct tube with holes punched along the tubing… worked like a charm.(obviously you need to take into count that as the smoke reaches the back of the tube there is less of it. So make the holes smaller closer to the fog machine and larger as you get to the end of the tube. Also this is a very good example of testing everything you need for the day, before the day! So that you do not waste yours or anyone else’s time.
Your work is as brilliant as it is outstanding! I am in love with every single recreation you made, your attention to detail and the immense effort you’ve put into all of these continuously leave me gobsmacked!! Keep up your amazing work! You’re going places! ❤
These videos are so satisfying to watch. The pasting, the visuals and the concepts are so well executed. I think there should be a major part of UA-cam that’s shot like this
I don't think there are enough words to express how impressive all of this is!!! The quality of your videos, your ideas, doing things on a small budget and putting it into a bigger narrative, not to mention the patience that is required to make videos that take a looong time to make - it's all e x t r e m e l y impressive. And such a young person, too! I hope some time in the future other people will be recreating shots from YOUR Oscar nominated movies :)
All of the segments are at 24:45 Individual Segments: Maestro 8:21 Killers of the Flower Moon 14:03 Poor Things 17:55 American Fiction 20:43 Oppenheimer 24:44
Wow, wow, wow... I just made a short film yesterday, and watching it now makes me even more excited! It reminded me why filmmaking is so much fun. I’m going to watch all the videos now.
Welcome to the comment section and thank you so much! I've already started on the next video and I'm hoping to have it up in less than a month, so you may not have to wait long!
What a gift this UA-cam recommendation was... I am speechless. 😳 I don't think I've ever felt so inspired to create after watching a UA-cam video. I just discovered this channel through this video, and watching you explain & experiment through the process of creating so many different shots, discovering new techniques, seeing the good & the bad / what worked & what didn't, and finally getting such incredibly close to the original results was such a beautiful experience. It scratched a special spot in my brain. I learned and got so much inspiration from this. I want to thank you William for this amazing video, and I am now a gladly new subscriber who can't wait to marathon-through your other videos and the upcoming ones ! 😊
This was one of the most well done videos I’ve ever seen on youtube. I hope that you’re gonna be a film director soon, even this video was soo well put together, i cannot imagine a talent like you would do anything else. Hope to see a future film of yours. Many many tv shows would be jealous for a production quality like this.
This video is amazing insightful and educational. I learned so much watching it! Please keep making content like this, and thank you for such an incredible masterpiece. I loved both parts!
I had a moment of realization that I watched part 1 this summer and hadn’t seen anything from you since. So I tried to find the video and found your channel only to see you’ve uploaded plenty since! Subscribed immediately and started part two! Brilliant work
What did I just see? This is the first time in years UA-cam really offers me something of super high quality value. Thanks a lot for making this videos. They are amazing
@ 7:20 you do realize that if you exhale the air from your lungs when in water, you sink at the bottom. And can probably still hold your breath for 30 seconds. Don't need to attach weights to yourself LMAO
Congrats on getting married! When sinking underwater (like the actress had to in the first shoot) if you breath out all the air in your lungs you can wink as much as you need, that’s how people magically lay at the bottom of pools.
Great Video, and love how you take the time to explain the process of each shot! Your humor and charisma makes the video so interesting to watch. I myself is learning to shoot proper cinematic videos and greatly appreciate stumbling on this video :D Cheers from Mauritius Island ! Keep it up!
ughh this was perefect!!! your videos fill my with so much joy and remind me why i love filmmaiking so much. these are soo impressive and clearly made with a lot of talent and appreciation to art, cant wait to see what youll do next and of course, congrats on getting married!!
Man, what a great video! I really like how tell it like a story not just a simple bts. I love that you include the things that went wrong and how you managed to find a solution.
discovered your channel when i stumbled upon your previous recreation video and i was so thoroughly impressed and immersed in everything. been waiting for this video since then and this is beyond amazing??? i kid you not i had no idea which one of the oppenheimer shots was the real one.
I did a similar shot of smoke/fire outdoors and I used a long AC duct tube with holes punched along the tubing… worked like a charm.(obviously you need to take into count that as the smoke reaches the back of the tube there is less of it.

Dude. My first instant thought for a waterproof container is simply 3/8" thick plexi glass from a hardware store, cut on a table saw, use rubber gaskets on hinges, and add waterproof epoxy. Literally an afternoon worth the work and infinitely safer than a storage container.
For future projects with a duration of seconds, that are taking place under water - empty your lungs, rather than weighing the actress down. You can be without air for a reasonable amount of time and there's no buoyancy. Great video! Lovely channel! Congrats on getting married 🌻
Tip for sinking to the bottom: exhale completely. Removing the air from your lungs makes you denser and you should begin to sink... unless you're fat. The density of the camera should help with sinking too. No need for weights.
Hi ! I love that kind of video. And for people who love the swirly bokeh effect but are really on a budget (because the Petzval lenses are 500$ minimum), the Helios lenses can be found for 60-100$. They're old, from the 50's and 60's, but they are for sure worth trying. It's really a lot of fun.
Honestly due to the fact I don't know most of the movies I had a really hard time finding the actual movie shot in the last comparisons, thats impressive work
What should I recreate next?
It would be awesome to see you recreate some old Hollywood scenes. You could pick your Best Picture Favourites from the 30s to somewhere like end of 50s, maybe even 1920s. Love your work and I hope someday to meet and work with you. You are an inspiration to me!
There are some cool shots in the HBO show Euphoria. It'd be awesome to see you recreate them
You should recreate a sitcom
If you want a huge challenge, try to recreate something from Dune or the Matrix for example.
Joker: Folie À Deux
You ever get spoiled with a UA-cam video so good that afterwards you're just left with that "well now what do I watch" feeling?
That's a video hangover. I get it all the time, with people getting more and more skilled in videography. Hope you'll find something to match up this experience.
There's always high quality sims 4 build videos about witch houses... strangely.

Thank you!! I've been watching your channel for a while so that means a lot! I couldn't do it without my behind-the-scenes guys!
We need a behind the scenes for the behind the scenes guys
I'm really happy for you because you got married
Yeees
14 years into my marriage, and it's the best!! Married to a creative man who does post-production audio with two very spirited children. Every day is a crap shoot as to how exhausted or content we'll feel, but we wouldn't do it any different. May this content creator be so happy!
And wld you be very sad if not married? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂Lol

I would strongly disagree that they looked better than the originals but no doubt they were impressively close, especially for the budget
You cannot be serious. It is indeed impressive and extremely interesting deep dive into the process, but there is still so so so much separating these shots from the references.

Each shot looked amazing- although I feel that you should have comped some fire assets into the KOTFM shot. Great work as always man.
a film masterpiece my friend, good job!
the efforts you are putting in these 5-10 sec clips is amazing. pure art
This is one of the coolest videos I have ever seen on this platform. Even for free. Appreciate you men 🔥big respect from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
Unbelievable talent, not just in recreating the shots but also in explaining your process and the associated challenges you faced.
Let's give a big applause and shout out to his friends who helped him!
I have absolutly no idea how i got here but damn i just watched the entire Video without looking away one minute. Ur insane!!! SUBSCRIBED!!
20:37 that beat is timed so well that it fits with the achievement of sizing up the still frame!
These 2 parts are maybe the best videos I’ve ever watched on UA-cam. Absolutely unreal work, easiest subscribe I’ve ever done

Bro. This makes me respect Movie scenes even more. The work you need to put in for one shot is crazy.
just finished maestro and i couldnt even tell which one was the original.. never seen it but they look SO identical. great work.
Man, what a great video! I really like how tell it like a story not just a simple bts. I love that you include the things that went wrong and how you managed to find a solution.
For anyone who's had the song from the maestro part bothering them for days , I found it , it's called inevitable by spearfisher ft Brianna tam
Hate the artificial pressure you add to every situation but the rest of the video was VERY entertaining :)

Love how these turned out!! ❤❤
absolute masterpiece, these two might be the best videos on youtube
Man,,, this is world class content and editing.. awesome channel
15:01 the sound here matched the frustration of finding out the out of stock moment
This is a damn good video 👏👏👏
It always cracks me up when he acts like they’re running out of time. Like, it’s for UA-cam video… you’re able to set your own deadlines 🤣
Your high key lighting example was low key amazing
4:33 "Our actress was having trouble sinking..." Bruh 😂
Dude. My first instant thought for a waterproof container is simply 3/8" thick plexi glass from a hardware store, cut on a table saw, use rubber gaskets on hinges, and add waterproof epoxy. Literally an afternoon worth the work and infinitely safer than a storage container.
This was a spectacular video. So incredibly interesting and your video script with detailed explanations made it as engaging as a good movie.
Incredible. Btw you could use trioplan lens or Soviet union Helios 40 lens too instead of petzval lens.
Fr
So crazy how interesting the actual story behind how you mad the shots is so interesting! I can’t wait to see other videos like this
For future projects with a duration of seconds, that are taking place under water - empty your lungs, rather than weighing the actress down. You can be without air for a reasonable amount of time and there's no buoyancy. Great video! Lovely channel! Congrats on getting married 🌻
This is utterly incredible. You have so many practical skills
Tip for sinking to the bottom: exhale completely. Removing the air from your lungs makes you denser and you should begin to sink... unless you're fat.
The density of the camera should help with sinking too. No need for weights.
Hi !
I love that kind of video. And for people who love the swirly bokeh effect but are really on a budget (because the Petzval lenses are 500$ minimum), the Helios lenses can be found for 60-100$. They're old, from the 50's and 60's, but they are for sure worth trying. It's really a lot of fun.
This series was so amazing, and congratulations on getting married!!!!!
Fantastic work! The final results speak for themselves, but I also love the work you put into the presentation.
Congrats on getting married man 👍
Honestly due to the fact I don't know most of the movies I had a really hard time finding the actual movie shot in the last comparisons, thats impressive work
This is so good! But your story telling and understanding of story telling is phenomenal
what a video!..... love it!! .... keep it coming please. this is super inspiring!
