Thanks for all the lovely comments :))
I wanna do a Q&A in between this video and the next so if you’ve got any questions you wanna ask, reply to this comment and I’ll try to answer as many as I can in my next video
How do you write your videos? What’s the structure like? (Specially for the Netflix one) I struggle with getting my ideas across well when I’m trying to tell a story through video. Love your channel
How do you manage to find all the footages used in your videos?
I am sure people love to see your creative process the story board or what ever you do to bring out these videos. not interested in gear talk.
How long did it take to create the video? (From the drawing board to posting it on RUclips)
For christ sake, what happened to the toast!?
You forgot the random expert in the field saying “I..i mean we see these crimes happen everyday, it’s nothing ground breaking.. but when it’s taken to this extent it’s.. it’s truly horrifying”
Bruh that is true as fuck
Yup
And it has to be like the last sentence
🤩
This was good.
This is terrifyingly accurate… *ESPECIALLY THE VIOLIN INSTRUMENTAL*
How do you have 2,2k likes and no comments ?

I'm 110% invested into this story. We can't leave this mystery unresolved!
It’s the mom …
@@daneberhardt8658Wrong. A mother would never do such thing. Here is the list of suspects:
1. Max - He sounds suspicious "Why would I?"
2. Bird - If the toast plate was kept near a window it might have been eaten by a bird.
3. Insect - These are everywhere but I can't imagine an insect eating 2 slices of toast in 3 minutes.
4. Among Us - um.... this doesn't exist... but I'll keep it in here just in case...
5. Combined/Something Else - I don't know what is this...
@@LambdaCreates I see you've done your due diligence in assembling a comprehensive list of suspects....
@@nate_d376I can't believe it's been 2 years and this case is still cold😔

I found a deep meaning behind this video. It is basically saying " Get off the couch and make anything happen". Masterpiece.
.....or eat ur toast before/while going toilet.
There's another...Your mind is being tricked into paying attention to useless stuff just because it's shiny and immersive. You're wasting your short life in this meaningless trance so they can make big bucks out of your steady subscription.

This is so good, the amount of skill you out to make it look so easy. Damn. As an editor, I can see it.
I'm trying to do this too king
I'm about 98% sure that guy ate his own toast.
The victim said it himself, he doesn't like the crust. If he ate his own toast, he would certainly leave the crust, just as the culprit did.
Additionally, I know from experience that toast can be eaten remarkably quickly. There would be no problem for the guy to eat one piece of toast on the way to the bathroom, and then another on the way back to the kitchen. This could all be done within 2 minutes, ESPECIALLY if he did the unsanitary act of eating the toast IN the restroom.
Early onset dementia? Or multiple personalities disorder? Pick your poison
@@user-wl5yq9oq3q that’s exactly what the director wants: to confuse you
I love this!
There were crumbs left on the plate tho, doesn’t this indicate that at least one piece was eaten above the plate. The only logical explanation is that he fell asleep on the toilet for 1h and 2 minutes as a daylight savings time was coming into effect making him think only 2 mins had past. This is would be when he sleep walked back to the kitchen, ate the toast and walked back to the bathroom.
@@Kellestial Plates are portable. He probably took the plate to the restroom with him, otherwise he'd be walking back with a handful of crusts.
Can’t believe you just showed us a real Netflix documentary and think we wouldn’t notice it

You literally can't have a Netflix documentary without an unnecessarily loud and intense violin solo. It'll be like "and that's when it clicked-" *cue violinist absolutely shredding their violin*

I wouldn't call it unnecessary, i personally like it. It has some kind of professional feel to it. But that's just me, people have different taste.
@@adarsh.education Facts. It’s a classy instrument, so when we hear it, we know we’re in for something that had a relatively big budget.
@@The-Middleman you can just literally get stock violin sounds off the internet though
You are a genius. I watched it 3 months ago. I watch it now and even feel more amazing
This was so great! Probably one of the most entertaining videos I've seen on RUclips so far, and the editing on this was incredible. Thanks for sharing this!
The single piano key is apparently a must in EVERY TRAILER
@Apple INC. tu mum
Like that odd sound that sounds like a book dropping on the floor when the main character in a comedy trailer finally delivers that EPIC and WITTY punchline
Yeah I've been noticing it everywhere, it's starting to get on my nerves
the fun thing is.. after this video i got an advertisement showing me a movie-trailer on joyn having this exact piano key 🤯
It Marks a beginning of something
“I’m not gonna sit here and lie to you...” - every detective in every docu series ever.
Literally I've never seen anyone ever do that
THEY ALWAYS SAY THAT
Yeah and also "things like this don't happen around here.. it's the place you come to raise your children"
With a little “We’re rolling? Okay, great-“ thrown in for good measure
Insane editing, sound design, scripting, grading, the whole works! I was invested for all of it 😭😭
The editing was 90% of the talent here, really nice job with it
Bro all netflix documentaries feel like they’re getting ready to start but it never starts
YESS OH MY GOODNESS YES
Lol I hate this too
it feels like a song that builds up to the chorus but the chorus never comes
@@redcr33perproductions oh my goodness why is this so accurate
@@EpicBub they try to keep the momentum of the anticipation up but never deliver the actual resolve. Its like if a song had long risers and build up to a drop and then just kept going and it ends. But yeah so accurate and why i dont like netflix documentaries
everything was amazingly accurate but the “we’re dealing with a truly sick individual” line was what really convinced me
💀💀💀💀
Dude, you are my hero. Forever. First time on this channel, but I will watch all the videos and hope you can share more of your videography techniques. Best of luck!
nah bro that intro title sequence was insane
I know this is a parody, but it’s actually a great way to teach filmmaking lmao
and meme or not, everyone in the comments is like "this was actually good documentary etc", it just shows you that just because something is "overused" doesnt mean, it isnt still one of the best ways to tell a story.
@@DaFifaKid Wouldn’t say “one of the best”, it’s just common. The fact that it looks professional for cheap is probably why it’s common
cheap and manipulative filmmaking
Agreed!
Or a conscious way to avoid clichés lol
I was actually so captivated by this. It made me realize it literally doesn’t matter what it’s about or how interesting as long as it looks “reveling”and professional
Yeah, it's like how this parody video on Family Guy puts it: It has the rhythm of comedy, but with no punchline ruclips.net/video/dEsiYI_W9CE/видео.html
Yeah, part of this I think comes with the genre of modern documentaries. But formulas are used because they work. I don't mind formulas. Because formula can still be creative, unique, and personalized.
It's like walking. Everyone puts one foot in front of the other, that's the formula. But every single person walks differently. That's personalization.
@@cheydinal5401 love this video. I have rewatched it several times.
@@danitho very wisely said
Editing is story telling. A show/movie/documentary is can live or die by the edit! OG starwars was saved by a good edit!

This is the most impressive one I've come across this whole year! Great job 🎉
There is one crucial thing that you've missed. Every thought needs to be repeated at least twice
"What people out there don't understand is that... every thought has to be repeated at least once.
Every thought has to be repeated at least once..."
(tears up)
*Repetition. Is. Key.*
@@alexbombbird353 Repetition. Is. Key.
Yeah they repeated like 3 times that there was only 3 people in the house
That's what's called "padding" or "filler". Turning 10 minutes of meaningful content, into a three-part box set. Other techniques often used are 1. Long meaningless aerial shots over a landscape, shots of a dripping tap, paint drying, that kind of stuff. 2. A lead-in sequence containing all the best bits, that lasts about 4 minutes.
The toast title transitions are way better than they needed to be and I respect that.
I felt the same!
And me beautifully done
Same! Toast title was awesome
Omg this video editing is so smooth haha Editing is out of this world. I mean creativity, style, editing, sound, music. 10/10
My eyes were glued to this story it's very suspenseful. Great editing by the way. Keep it up.
It's amazing how Netflix managed to stretch the missing toast story out to nine 1-hour episodes and yet at the end we still don't know who ate it.
In the end, the friends were the toast we ate along the way.
@@gordon1545 Wait, you ate your friends?
@@davec8153 wait you don't ?
That's the most annoying parts of these. At least in The Jinx there was an incredibly satisfying conclusion.

Every netflix documentary just feels like one long trailer for a better documentary
all in preparation for THE documentary
@@genericuser984 which is a preview of the mega documentary

mate you crushed this. I'm dying laughing. I was just talking with my producer today about how Netflix has gone down hill
What do you mean by gone down hill? It sounds like I’m asking that confrontationally but I really am just curious.
@@kimm.8718 their stuff is a tad bit less interesting recently i guess? But like every soo often that happens, not really news
Down hill? Bit exaggerated but I the underlying sentiment
Only your ignorance has gone uphill i guess
@@kimm.8718 Quality, downhill. They have more subscribers because of how they make business, not because of how they make their things.
this right here proves that good editing is more important then the story sometimes
It's still a story with the fundamentals. The main character, the conflict and the quest to find a solution.
Good editing makes the story work. See, for example, how some smart editing completely changed the ending of the very first Star Wars movie, helping it become the smash-hit phenomenon we know and love today. Compare that to the prequels and sequels, which were badly written and badly edited. I've seen how better editing can dramatically improve Attack Of The Clones (terrible title BTW).
good editing=entertainment
Editing is the fundamental art-form of film, everything else is an extra - even the photography is subservient to the editing.
An editor can make a film with a few newspaper cuttings... or a shaky phone video, anything.
Watch a film by someone who thinks acting is the fundamental and hasn't learned anything about editing and it'll be terrible... The inverse can work fine because a good editor can make bad actors look passable.
The editing however is too complex for most viewers to understand so it goes generally unnoticed. ...As in music the songwriter goes unnoticed... everyone applauds the singer.
@@JesseP.Watson true...good editing is supposed to go unnoticed though however, it does get applauded, best film editing is an oscar category. I'm actually in the process of editing a feature film documentary right now and I'm so overwhelmed it's not even funny lol So many options, so easy to overthink everything. You know what they say give the same film to 1000 editors and you will get 1000 different films back 🥵
This was awesome! THANK YOU very much for sharing.
My frikin word that was well done! Never leave us Paul, you're frikin brilliant!
this makes me so mad because with the editing and the dramatic music this genuinely got me about as engaged and on the edge of my seat as an actual netflix documentary would have. It just goes to show that no matter the subject matter, editing and pacing really does all the heavy lifting when it comes to making a captivating piece of film. Really had me over here morbidly fascinated about a piece of toast.

You forgot one necessary part: the setting up the interview part in the beginning: "Should I look there? Here? Alright" EVERY single damn documentary does it these days.
and when the producer asks "are you ready to start?"
@@oguza2763 "**sigh** yeah..."
"and then I, sorry 'pause'" starts to cry and look up
When they show the slate. Clearly they do not know the purpose of the slate.
Ah yeah, the professionally unprofessional touch, because you're an original artist of talent so humble and close to the viewer.

Wow, I didn't expect to see you here :D
I'm looking forward to your next video, maybe it's about something toast related ;)
Greetings from your neighboring city!
I love this!! Way better than I thought it was going to be.
Greatest video on youtube of all time. Loved it so much
You forgot a couple of things:
1 - have a bunch of silent moments in the interviews where no one's saying anything and they're just staring, which is supposed to make you feel like the moment's heavy and emotional.
2 - have people repeat the same thing with different wording, to make the documentary seem like it has more content.
3 - include ocasional personal day to day experiences, like one of the interviewees playing with their kids or something, to increase the emotional impact of whatever they're talking about, or just going to the store to fetch some bread, to humanize them, even though none of these things is remotely relevant for what they're talking about.
4 - (Optional Bonus) have all interviewees with shared opinions, to provide what can potentially be misconceived by the viewer as an objective truth.
5 - (credits to: UngusBungus) The interviewee saying "excuse me" or "sorry" and then taking a deep breath and talking while crying some.
😂
The silence always just feels like forced awkward silence to me. Never hit the mark on making it feel emotional or heavy for me lol
😂😂
Bread is highly relevant
Underrated
should've added the classic "is this thing rolling?" after he said "I'm a.. retired police detective.."
A wide shot with the chair, lighting equipment and boom mic visible in frame while saying "is this thing rolling?", then a quick cut to the correct shot...
Hey, thanks for this amazing video Pablo.
Brilliant idea mate, and great inspiration. Thank you
Paul - I have been a trailer editor for 20 years and you just killed this - Bravo my friend
So... you're one of those misanthropic criminals, that show the entire plot before we can watch the film? Or I suppose "my boss made me do it" is your excuse...
He's hired.
Were editing software there 20 years ago??
@@manishholla yes Avid has been around that long
@@manishholla I'm sure they've been editing things every since things went digital (70's or 80's). Before that they'd even just directly make changes to the film.
I can't believe a well-edited musical, verbal, and visual formula in a video can make me want to sit here, not doing my homework, and watch half-hour long documentary about who ate the toast.
It's crazy honestly. The importance or cinematics not going off track, crisp clear audio and multiple angle changes. Kinda what I've tried to do with my first video, even though it is more video essay based business storytelling rather than showing my face.
I mean it's not very hard to make _me_ stop doing my homework...

We had a large excess of dinner rolls from a certain holiday dinner and I took to eating them, with boter of course. every time I would make some I would gently cut them in half, pull the boter out of the cooler, and shave off a bit to put on the rolls, then insert in the micronda shortly. but every time I made them ( & this was alot of times b.t.w. when I said excess I was talking about hundreds, we literally took an offer for another cooler for free just to put the rolls in it we had so damned many [but we're not wasteful!]

The other thing you need is him talking about his mom of some other character And the screen cuts to the mom sitting down, and the crew kinda getting her ready, like a mic check or something. I swear this happens in like every Netflix documentary.

Don’t forget to turn the short story into at least 6 hour long episodes.
E.g. "dont f with cats"
Netflix: why wouldn't you tell a 2 hour story in 8 hours?
@@Jacob0481 What? Watch TikTok? 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, because, even if they upload all episodes at once, 2nd to 6th start with what happened in previous episodes, getting you confused on why they have repeated three times that the jam was bought by the mother twenty hours before the crime.
They could just make a two hours story, but nah!
Can't imagine myself ever sitting through multiple 6 hour episodes. :D
NAILED it. It’s like an editing + music formula. I actually found myself entertained by this and wanting to binge 8 episodes about it.
fr I can’t even be mad at Netflix docs for always using those tricks bc I love it
True, I would love to find out who the culprit was. Eating this poor individual's jam on toast on a work morning like that one, that too whilst he had taken a short detour just to go to loo, totally ridiculous.
Definitely, I was wondering about a full episode on his mom possible atraction to strawberry jam origin would be 😂😂😂
THIS IS A MASTERPIECE! Should be shown at every film school!
It is all in the editing, and your editing skills are great
