Hahah someone was a PS2 fan, is what I thought when I saw that XD Jump down and you'll end up in a PS2 game of your choice. Which one would you think of..?
you capture something elusive about found footage that almost every backrooms artist misses: the camera is held by a real person, with a limited perspective, and we are limited even more by the camera itself. fine work.
Glad people notice the details. My main purpouse for this video was to show that the camera man and the camera are different entities. The character is still his own self without the camera and vice versa.
@@TheMrLeoniasty I wasn't expecting much, but you hooked me. I've always loved the weirdness of the Backrooms and you captured it perfectly. The final scene was the icing on the cake - thinking you've found a way out and nope.
@@TheDarthRoachoif you pay attention to most Backrooms videos, you’ll realise that the camera looks around like it’s the head of the protagonist instead of being HELD by them. They don’t have the ability to put down the camera usually as they are filming THEIR PERSPECTIVE. This video shows us that the camera and the person are different things, and interact differently. The person puts the camera down multiple times and we can SEE them. At the end the camera is taken by something, and approaches the person. Hope I cleared something up.
12:01 - 15:21 those little details that others backroom artist cant manage to put on their videos, the actual interaction, a foot, a hand, the shadow of the cameraman, something that shows that this is an actual person, not a flying camera walking in a rendered room outstanding work
These never get old. And I love seeing every backroom content creator adding their own unique ideas to it. That PS2 home screen inspired city was a really nice touch!
I love this one specifically because of the dialogue from the character throughout the entire video. You can sense the panic, frustration and anxiety in his voice. You can feel the disappointment in not getting to the end. It’s all so well done and it moves at a good pace for me so I wasn’t so spaced out. This is now my favorite backrooms video of all time. I would love to see more!
Thank you for the kind words! The dialogue was quite hard to make and took a long time to come up with. Glad to hear it sounds natural since I'm not english speaking, a writer nor an actor.
i like that the weird human thing doesn't even inherently seem hostile, it just moves in a weird way and quietly follows the protagonist, wouldn't even be surprised if it didnt even kill the guy at the end
It feels so much like an alternate dimension lol. Though I'd be fascinated by it and consider exploring it if I weren't continuously worrying about exiting back to reality

@TheMrLeoniasty That's such a cool Easter egg. Gotta say man, I'm really impressed. I hate to admit how much backrooms content I have consumed, yet your video stands on its own. I've seen all of Kanes stuff multiple times, and everyone seems to just be making exactly the same thing, refreshing you didn't. I really hope when the movie finally comes out it isn't a let down on all this internet lore and build up. Not sure if you game or not, but you really should play backrooms lost tape 1 and 2. I think it's some of the best playable experiences out there. And like you said, it's not all scary, some of it is pure beauty and nostalgia.

This is probably the best backrooms thing I have seen in a long while. I love how you put details like reflections, shadows, etc. I also love how you didn't really focus on scary entities like every other backrooms video, Nice work dude :D
Easily one of my favorite Backrooms videos! The voice acting is so well done, the animation so fluid and realistic, and the subtle story-telling, the tension... I gasped aloud when the camera was picked up at the end. Bravo!
I really loved what you did here! the ending was that the camera is focused on him running to the light and the camera siding after him only to be picked up. I never saw something like this, and I find it awesome! I can't wait to see more! no pressure.
Brilliant! 🎉 The camera drop reveal made me gasp. The slow walk into the dark made me scream at the screen. The motel was oddly terrifying. And that end sequence is an absolute instant classic. Bravo!
This video really captures the "what?! But... I mean... but... WHY?!?!" of the backrooms. Very realistic with a really good blend of creepy, hopelessness, and incredulous absurdity. A+ Thoroughly enjoyed.
It's those small details that take a bunch of time to make but not everyone will notice. BUT if you do notice them, that's just a very special feeling. Glad you liked it!
I'm really impressed, this was executed flawlessly. The only thing that took me out of it was noticing your reflection on the window at 6:25. I mean that as a compliment, since it only made me stop to say "oh wow, he really did that." I think I know how you pulled it off, but I'm still impressed, since it matched seamlessly with the 3D camera. I'm super grateful to see artists that actually care, it's a breath of fresh air with all of the slop going around. I hope to see more of this from you in the future!
@@TheMrLeoniasty Without spoiling too much, I'm assuming it was a combination of recorded video and gyro/velocity data used in tandem for the 3D camera and reflection. From there, you could have used the video of you approaching a large glass door as an image texture node for the window surface in blender, or you could have comped the source video in afterwards to save time. That's my best guess, but I could be wrong. Either way, it's an impressive shot, and your attention to detail does not go unnoticed!
So Immersive, downright Incredible work. The light around 14:30 or little after...chefs kiss to that masterpiece. I've never seen a found footage backrooms w such unique rooms. On edge the entire time... Amazing work hope to see more
There was another one recently that I saw on the same level, some very interesting backrooms videos coming out lately. We're definitely getting some new levels of concepts in the past few months. Oddly I just started this journey a few months ago and I am already an expert on the lore.
I would experiment with it, I would throw an object down the hall see if it gets closer and throw it again, repeat the process until you're out. That could be an actual xenos paradox though. Try pointing the camera at the rear and you walk forward and then try it with your eyes closed, maybe it's a puzzle you have to figure out. But then he finally figured it out and reaches the end only to find more backrooms. Maybe another level at least, but based on the concepts he's going for so far he's going for mind benders. Maybe he goes into the real world but he brought the backrooms with him and everybody and everything starts no clipping in and out randomly. Woah that would be a good one, maybe I should try my hand at it, there are tutorials on RUclips how they make this stuff and it's remarkably easy using the right software. I think a more expansive stakes narrative is the next logical step.
That was pretty cool. I sometimes have stipulations in backrooms content with pacing vs. foot movement, and how textures look, but any issues were made up for by brilliance. Actually putting human body parts attached to the cameraman into the video, and having it look more real than most can manage. Can't wait for Tape 2
Okay it seems like everyone has already said what I want to say but still I must comment. Dude this is amazing holy shit. The growing sense of dread as the environment carries on and on with no end or explanation in sight is what made the original backrooms concept so captivating and you've captured that perfectly here. I really appreciated that the figure in the doorway moves out of sight at 12:20 right before! the protag jumps down. I was already so on edge up to this point but from here the tension really ramped up perfectly. The camera zooming in on that curtain just barely held open, the lights flickering on and off to indicate that something is aware of the protag's presence. (and here i have to add the camera movement really does feel so realistic major kudos on that), the hidden city below the kitchen area. And the whole time no cheap scares or awful screaming or awkwardly timed chase scenes just for the hell of it. Genuinely genuinely so well done honest to god and I love the ambiguity of the ending
I want to take a moment to talk about the scene starting at 11:40 because it’s so well done: At first, there’s this eerie sense of mystery, you can’t quite tell if you’re looking at some strange object or an actual creature. The slow, deliberate way it reveals its humanoid form is seriously unsettling. It makes you wonder: Why is it in that weird pose? How long has it been standing there like that? Is the pose for a reason, or is it just some form of general stasis? When it starts to walk away, it looks like it’s trying to imitate how humans move, but it’s off; awkward and overly careful, like it’s forcing itself to get it right. The blurry, unclear visuals add so much to the creepiness, leaving you to imagine what this thing might really look like. And maybe the creepiest part? The person filming didn't even witness the disturbing occurrence that us, the audience, just witnessed. This whole moment is such a masterclass in building tension. Amazing work!
@@TheMrLeoniasty Awesome! You definitely have a ton of potential with this series. A lot of other backrooms videos are cool, but this one is significantly more creative than most others I've seen. Can't wait to see what other ideas you come up with.
This ending was a visual masterpiece, creative and misterious, sound too, the animations of the charcter filmed by the camera was sooo freaking well done and photoreal-organic, the small details like the perfectly moving refelction of his body in the window outstanding detail, if anyone would have told me that this was done by Kane I woulnt have doubt it for a second, great great short!!!
Honestly this is more REALISTIC than Kane pixels ones. Just seeing an ACTUAL person holding it makes it feel like a REAL POV, instead of a drone shot just floating around. Your have done something REALLY special here!
This is hands down one of the best Backrooms videos I’ve ever seen. You have a true filmmaker’s touch-masterfully telling a story, building suspense, and subverting expectations.
So glad I watched this with headphones. This is an AMAZING backrooms vid. A few times I was terrified but out of the blue that Playstation 2 bootup sequence hit me fucking hard and I was back home in my parents' house and had that feeling of safety you get when you still live at home and home really is home. The PS2 still to this day feels like a big new game system and my brother and I wore our first one out and before that wore out our original PS1 from constant playing. Then the loud noise jarred me back into the fearful backrooms environment and that ending gave me a suffocating fear of complete hopelessness. This is a backrooms vid like no other and I was completely immersed.
you got a very atmospheric footage! I really liked the locations you added, and the reference to the PlayStation) The idea with the corridor that keeps returning to the beginning is also very interesting and gives this place a hint of mockery, as if the Back Rooms are deliberately tormenting the traveler with false hope of an exit... I think the cameraman should have tried walking backwards to see the door at the beginning.
Wow.. I think this is top 5 best backrooms footage of all time. You captured it in a way that felt true to the original source. I could almost feel and smell the damp and dingy halls. The lighting was perfect and the lack of dialog was perfect. A real person filming wouldn’t be expressing their thoughts out loud the whole time and you did it in a way that didn’t insult our intelligence. We can tell exactly what he’s thinking. Even with walking in dark areas. People might think why would someone do that. But if you think about it, it always looks darker on film that in real life in person. You did a phenomenal job. Your name could definitely become synonymous and one of the mainstays for the backrooms if you keep this up. Bravo!
Thank you! I really like that you noticed my intentions. The character sees the environments in a different way than the camera. And also its somewhere in the 1990s, he is not a vloger, he doesnt speak to an audience, just to himself, and when you speak your thoughts out loud they are never full sentences, just small fragments of longer thoughts.
@ btw I love how the guy isn’t like calling out for someone also like he’s an urban explorer and tries to not draw attention its in character and works out so well
20:40 wait are you leaving the camera? oh- 20:45 YES HES GONNA MAKE IT!!! 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳 20:55 wait what ohhh so thats how he didnt progress during his first attempt 21:03 WAIT WHAT- WHOS THAT??? (talking about who or what is holding the camera) man, i love this backrooms video so much 👍
@@TheMrLeoniastyWell the government has technology that uses magnetic frequencies that can use thresholds and portals are a real thing too cause the one in New York City has one but it’s a screen but the idea of portals do exist underground tunnels
The entrance is stunning. Well done. Subscribed. You also created a realistic setup. This is how people would behave. The interaction with the environment is awesome.
Incredible job. The environments were very inventive and beautifully made. I was in fascinated dread throughout. The lighted "exhibit windows" were something I've never seen before and I would never have thought one could get so much mystery out of just flicking a lightswitch. The sequence with the dropped camera was absolutely eerie.
Thank you! My favorite sequence is the camera drop. The light switch sequence was one I wasn't sure about if it would work well but in the end it really did.
This depiction feels more like the original backrooms image than any other I've watched. The room at 13:23 feels like it was pulled directly out of a dream. I love it. I just wish the video had a more memorable name.
Thanks! I really wanted to evoke the feeling I had when I first saw that original image. What do you think a more memmorable title could be? I tried to keep it short and unique.
Oh that's very good! I really like the physicality of it, that's always something that's been jarring for me with backroom stuff is that a lot of these video despite presenting themselves as found footage look like a videogame in first person view. And you even make good use of the camera to create some cool moments.
That was ridiculously good. I especially like the grittier detail of the drop ceiling tiles and more realistic lighting effects. It was like someone attempting to recreate the Backrooms using an actual live set.
Really great work. I love that your interpretation of the backrooms is way closer to the roots of the backrooms. The mainstream backrooms have become SCP 2.0 - no mystery, to many monsters not enough liminal spaces. The use of the camera as it's own perspective is always a great touch.
Thank you! I do think that what people know as backrooms nowadays strayed a bit too far from the original. I only recently found out about different "levels" to it. All of that just doesnt feel right to se so with this video I decided to stick to the original and also purposefully didn't watch other content creators videos to not influence my ideas.
Great work. I put off watching it for two days because I had recently seen a number that were either game captures or cliché. This has a string of original settings and the mind f'k at the end was quite the cherry on top!
Brother, this was amazing. You made sure to remind people that it was a person behind the camera with the subtle reflections in the glass or the the way the camera was held, it looked natural. That genuinely looked good.
Jaw dropped at the PS2 refrence - instantly sent me back Besides that, I adore this, I love that it doesn't go for any cheap jumpscares and I like the touch that he explores more dark areas, it's something you don't really see in backrooms videos (without any Jumpscares)
Thanks! He goes into shadowy places with the camera on because it makes him feel safer. You don't really know how many fully lit places he has seen there since he surelly doesn't record everything.
peak polish cinematic experience the exit being just out of reach and that creepy 'human' acting like it was made by the backrooms having about as much idea of how people move, as it does of building layouts makes everything so uncanny and the quality of the noclipping arm effect like omg???????????
Thanks man! I put a lot of thought and effort into this glad you like that weird moving humanoid guy. I saw that pose in a drem actually when I was trying to figure out how can a person stand but do it in a very unnatural way. It just came to me one night.
We need more Videos like this. Not games, levels and cartoonish entities, but real horror set up in a place that looks either like the early war time architecture, an alternate dimension or my most surreal dreams or nightmares. And your Video captured that perfectly. Keep it up, this is my favourite backrooms video of all.
It's always nice to see someone step up to the plate and conquer the challenge of the next level in the art form. You've set the bar. Nicely done. BTW: I felt his despair after running in that hallway. 👍🏻
Incredible work as always, Leon! This almost feels like it's set in the USSR in the 1980s or something. The color palette is gorgeous too. Very faded and vanilla-y. 20:55 is a simply beautiful shot! My favorite moment in the whole video.
Thanks Terapop! I'm happy to hear that you liked it! Here where I live we do have some soviet architecture. The block where I live in even has some buildings that still have bullet holes from the second world war! So that whole block that you see in the beggining just looks like that. If you don't show modern cars in the scene it looks like straight from the 1980's!
Out of all the backrooms media I've watched, I have to say, there's a kind of quiet surreal beauty that I love most in yours. The wood paneling and lighting in the room with the lights flickering, the PlayStation Chamber™, really, just really a fan. :)
The first few seconds I couldn't believe how Kane Parsons it was, then at 0:24 👌😌👌 It's so good from the first 20 seconds. I'm watching this whole thing. Thank you for giving this to us 🙏
@@TheMrLeoniasty I very much am liking it. I'm also working on these types of videos and it's a struggle. You've done amazing 🤩, congratulations 👏🎉🥳👏🎉🥳
Found you through a Reaction and I have to say well done Sir 🫡 the Birds at the End... the PS2 Screen...the limited Focus...the Shadow in the Door slowly walking away...the claustrophobic Feeling... I loved every Minute ❤🥰 keep up the good Work 🫡🤗
As a blender amateur i am flabbergasted by the immaculate swork of art that you made just thank you for that because i know that people don't realise the amount of work you've put in
Found this through the Reddit post you made on r/liminalspaces. This is incredible! I haven’t seen a backrooms video that captures the liminal feeling of the backrooms so well like this in a while. You’re super underrated. 16:15 is definitely one of my favourite scenes.
This is genuinely one of the most creative unique backroom videos I've seen in quite awhile now, I love this video so so much and I hope to see the rest of the series and perhaps learn more about the weird tree display room, dark creature, and the odd room at the end. I have my few gripes with this video like the ps2 area which didn't feel like it fits with the backrooms but was cool to see. Great video man keep it up!!
What a banger, giving the man recording human expressions and making us feel more attached to him is a great story telling technique. I also like the lighting and the music, the entity was a little cartoonish but fit the scary feeling of this video 100%. 7/10 keep up the good work. Ps I came from the minecraft animation from like 6 years ago.
Very nice variation of the backfooms and the pov shadows. Also the fact the character is keeping quiet like I imagine someone really trapped there would be. You got yourself a new follower. Awesome work.
16:15 We need more of this in these videos. The backrooms can be creepy and unsettling and all that stuff, but sometimes I'm just as likely to ask "What in the world is that?" when looking at something beautiful or comforting as I am if it's creepy. Plus, it gives the vaguest sense of "Maybe there is a reason behind all this after all, and now I have to find out what it is."
I absolutely love this. Fantastic. The ending was the best part, which was a real treat because so many projects start strong and end poorly. I hope you make more horror!
Your version of the backrooms captures a diffirent setting that the others just simply cant achieve. the level of detail for realism like the feet, hand, and realistic movements make it look more authentic. Sets a diffirent vision of a liminal reality. Looking forward for more, props to you👍👍
The way certain lights turned on at just the right time, and the hallway the seemingly won’t let you leave, it’s like the Backrooms is alive or something
This was beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. Stunning. Breathtaking. Astonishing. Completely and utterly beautiful. I loved it. Very, very much. Thank you for creating this absolute masterpiece.
16:00 this is the point where I'd lose all hope. The entire time, you've been trying to reach that elusive "outside", as if you'll just walk out and find yourself on a normal street in the real world, with people everywhere. But then, you see the hopelessness of your situation. The surreal vastness stretches on everywhere, even to the stars. You are lost in another dimension. You are not walking out of this.
Never lose hope, you eventually will noclip back to reality if you survive for that long...Albert Einstein once said "If you can get in, you can always get out"
Dare I say, I think this is even better than Kane Pixels take on the Backrooms. Could have done more with the shadow entity, though. I can't wait for tape 2.
This is one of my favorite takes on the backrooms I've seen so far. There's a lot more character to it than I see in many others where it's just focused on looking around then some tension and usually a chase as the climax. Here I really felt like the person behind the camera was more a real person than just the POV, and the "chase" that we get is a really clever implementation. 10/10
I'm reading the last book of annihilation trilogy, what a reference. The area X have this sense of the comum being so uncanny and the feeling something around. Once there, for always there. This video give the sensation. Congrats.
Dude, that was an incredible experience. It's been a long time since any film from this universe has stirred up such an amount of emotions in me as your work. I've really seen many Backrooms productions, but your film is on par with KanePixels! You've taken care of all the details, so that the viewer can almost feel everything that our protagonist, trapped in Backrooms. The cherry on the cake was the start screen from PS2. It's familiar, but somehow disturbing, giving me goosebumps on my neck. I'm waiting for more! Thanks for your work!
21:03 ideas for intro tape 2; he still running and wall, celling, and floor goes getting extremely faster and until eventually instantly hallway broken apart and falling faster in white void that Contains of various pool architecture and broken into the area like pools, that actually called “Tape 2: The Poolrooms”.

I'm really impressed, this was executed flawlessly. The only thing that took me out of it was noticing your reflection on the window at 6:25. I mean that as a compliment, since it only made me stop to say "oh wow, he really did that." I think I know how you pulled it off, but I'm still impressed, since it matched seamlessly with the 3D camera. I'm super grateful to see artists that actually care, it's a breath of fresh air with all of the slop going around. I hope to see more of this from you in the future!
Thanks man! I'm interested, how do you think I pulled it off?
@@TheMrLeoniasty Without spoiling too much, I'm assuming it was a combination of recorded video and gyro/velocity data used in tandem for the 3D camera and reflection. From there, you could have used the video of you approaching a large glass door as an image texture node for the window surface in blender, or you could have comped the source video in afterwards to save time. That's my best guess, but I could be wrong. Either way, it's an impressive shot, and your attention to detail does not go unnoticed!
@ Good guess but there was an even easier way
@@TheMrLeoniasty In that case, you've got me beat! If you don't mind me asking, how on earth did you do it?
@ I'll be making a "making of" video one day. I'll show that there
So Immersive, downright Incredible work. The light around 14:30 or little after...chefs kiss to that masterpiece. I've never seen a found footage backrooms w such unique rooms. On edge the entire time... Amazing work hope to see more
That ending........counting down for tape 2
There was another one recently that I saw on the same level, some very interesting backrooms videos coming out lately. We're definitely getting some new levels of concepts in the past few months. Oddly I just started this journey a few months ago and I am already an expert on the lore.
I would experiment with it, I would throw an object down the hall see if it gets closer and throw it again, repeat the process until you're out. That could be an actual xenos paradox though. Try pointing the camera at the rear and you walk forward and then try it with your eyes closed, maybe it's a puzzle you have to figure out. But then he finally figured it out and reaches the end only to find more backrooms. Maybe another level at least, but based on the concepts he's going for so far he's going for mind benders. Maybe he goes into the real world but he brought the backrooms with him and everybody and everything starts no clipping in and out randomly. Woah that would be a good one, maybe I should try my hand at it, there are tutorials on RUclips how they make this stuff and it's remarkably easy using the right software. I think a more expansive stakes narrative is the next logical step.
Check out Kane Pixels, out of all the back rooms series his is the most realistic imo
@@project0point994everyone here knows about Kane pixels lol
That was pretty cool. I sometimes have stipulations in backrooms content with pacing vs. foot movement, and how textures look, but any issues were made up for by brilliance. Actually putting human body parts attached to the cameraman into the video, and having it look more real than most can manage. Can't wait for Tape 2
Thanks, Tape 2 is already in the works
You and Kane Pixels are my favourite Backrooms creators
Loved the way you chose to represent the Backrooms. Something about how cheap and worn down the tiles and walls look gets me.
Okay it seems like everyone has already said what I want to say but still I must comment. Dude this is amazing holy shit. The growing sense of dread as the environment carries on and on with no end or explanation in sight is what made the original backrooms concept so captivating and you've captured that perfectly here.
I really appreciated that the figure in the doorway moves out of sight at 12:20 right before! the protag jumps down. I was already so on edge up to this point but from here the tension really ramped up perfectly. The camera zooming in on that curtain just barely held open, the lights flickering on and off to indicate that something is aware of the protag's presence. (and here i have to add the camera movement really does feel so realistic major kudos on that), the hidden city below the kitchen area. And the whole time no cheap scares or awful screaming or awkwardly timed chase scenes just for the hell of it. Genuinely genuinely so well done honest to god and I love the ambiguity of the ending
Thanks man! It's always nice to read that someone really liked my video
I want to take a moment to talk about the scene starting at 11:40 because it’s so well done:
At first, there’s this eerie sense of mystery, you can’t quite tell if you’re looking at some strange object or an actual creature.
The slow, deliberate way it reveals its humanoid form is seriously unsettling.
It makes you wonder: Why is it in that weird pose? How long has it been standing there like that? Is the pose for a reason, or is it just some form of general stasis?
When it starts to walk away, it looks like it’s trying to imitate how humans move, but it’s off; awkward and overly careful, like it’s forcing itself to get it right.
The blurry, unclear visuals add so much to the creepiness, leaving you to imagine what this thing might really look like.
And maybe the creepiest part? The person filming didn't even witness the disturbing occurrence that us, the audience, just witnessed.
This whole moment is such a masterclass in building tension. Amazing work!
Thank you! Eveything you have written here is exactly how I planned this scene, happy to see you noticed all of the elements.
@@TheMrLeoniasty Awesome! You definitely have a ton of potential with this series. A lot of other backrooms videos are cool, but this one is significantly more creative than most others I've seen. Can't wait to see what other ideas you come up with.
@ Thanks! I have so many ideas that it's stupid hard to pick which ones to use
This ending was a visual masterpiece, creative and misterious, sound too, the animations of the charcter filmed by the camera was sooo freaking well done and photoreal-organic, the small details like the perfectly moving refelction of his body in the window outstanding detail, if anyone would have told me that this was done by Kane I woulnt have doubt it for a second, great great short!!!
Thank you very much! It really makes me happy to see people appreciate the details
That blue area at 16:16 made me think it was about to be the opening screen for the PS2. So nostalgic 😂😂
classic
Honestly this is more REALISTIC than Kane pixels ones. Just seeing an ACTUAL person holding it makes it feel like a REAL POV, instead of a drone shot just floating around. Your have done something REALLY special here!
Thank you! It was a big part of the project to make the camera feel like it is really handled by a human
ye
This is hands down one of the best Backrooms videos I’ve ever seen. You have a true filmmaker’s touch-masterfully telling a story, building suspense, and subverting expectations.
Thanks! I've been improving my craft for years and I believe that this videio is the culmination of it
Wow terrifying, made me feel anxious! Love how the first moments in the backrooms are the original 4chan photo, brilliant touch and expertly done 👏
Thanks! I had to make a nod to the original
So glad I watched this with headphones. This is an AMAZING backrooms vid. A few times I was terrified but out of the blue that Playstation 2 bootup sequence hit me fucking hard and I was back home in my parents' house and had that feeling of safety you get when you still live at home and home really is home. The PS2 still to this day feels like a big new game system and my brother and I wore our first one out and before that wore out our original PS1 from constant playing.
Then the loud noise jarred me back into the fearful backrooms environment and that ending gave me a suffocating fear of complete hopelessness. This is a backrooms vid like no other and I was completely immersed.
Thank you! I'm happy to hear that my video made you feel so many different things
you got a very atmospheric footage! I really liked the locations you added, and the reference to the PlayStation) The idea with the corridor that keeps returning to the beginning is also very interesting and gives this place a hint of mockery, as if the Back Rooms are deliberately tormenting the traveler with false hope of an exit... I think the cameraman should have tried walking backwards to see the door at the beginning.
Thanks! The cameraman did try that. You can hear him talk about it
Ok, that ending felt like smth I can't describe, it wasn't as scary but I felt CHILLS WHEN SOMEONE PICKED UP THE CAMERA LIKE WHATTT
Hearing that something I created made someone have chills is a great compliment actually, thank you!
@TheMrLeoniasty no problem man! Please keep up the good work!
Wow.. I think this is top 5 best backrooms footage of all time.
You captured it in a way that felt true to the original source. I could almost feel and smell the damp and dingy halls.
The lighting was perfect and the lack of dialog was perfect.
A real person filming wouldn’t be expressing their thoughts out loud the whole time and you did it in a way that didn’t insult our intelligence. We can tell exactly what he’s thinking.
Even with walking in dark areas. People might think why would someone do that. But if you think about it, it always looks darker on film that in real life in person.
You did a phenomenal job. Your name could definitely become synonymous and one of the mainstays for the backrooms if you keep this up.
Bravo!
Thank you! I really like that you noticed my intentions. The character sees the environments in a different way than the camera. And also its somewhere in the 1990s, he is not a vloger, he doesnt speak to an audience, just to himself, and when you speak your thoughts out loud they are never full sentences, just small fragments of longer thoughts.
Excellent attention to detail, especially on the audio! When you clipped into the first room, your vocal reflections were spot on. Awesome work.
Thanks! What's funny is, I just recorded the audio with a camera while standing in the middle of a room. So that sound and room "echo" was 100% real
This is one of the best found footage videos I’ve seen amazing work
It means a lot, thank you
@ btw I love how the guy isn’t like calling out for someone also like he’s an urban explorer and tries to not draw attention its in character and works out so well
20:40 wait are you leaving the camera? oh-
20:45 YES HES GONNA MAKE IT!!! 🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳
20:55 wait what ohhh so thats how he didnt progress during his first attempt
21:03 WAIT WHAT- WHOS THAT??? (talking about who or what is holding the camera)
man, i love this backrooms video so much 👍
Glad to hear that!
@@TheMrLeoniastyWell the government has technology that uses magnetic frequencies that can use thresholds and portals are a real thing too cause the one in New York City has one but it’s a screen but the idea of portals do exist underground tunnels
@@notnew-lq6xt Portal is a cool game
The entrance is stunning. Well done. Subscribed. You also created a realistic setup. This is how people would behave. The interaction with the environment is awesome.
Thank you!
i fucking love the PS2 part holy hell lmfao, didn't expect it actually.
Incredible job. The environments were very inventive and beautifully made. I was in fascinated dread throughout. The lighted "exhibit windows" were something I've never seen before and I would never have thought one could get so much mystery out of just flicking a lightswitch. The sequence with the dropped camera was absolutely eerie.
Thank you! My favorite sequence is the camera drop. The light switch sequence was one I wasn't sure about if it would work well but in the end it really did.
This is incredible...well done and scary AF 👍🏻... please make more Backrooms videos !
Thank you!
This depiction feels more like the original backrooms image than any other I've watched. The room at 13:23 feels like it was pulled directly out of a dream. I love it. I just wish the video had a more memorable name.
Thanks! I really wanted to evoke the feeling I had when I first saw that original image. What do you think a more memmorable title could be? I tried to keep it short and unique.
Oh that's very good!
I really like the physicality of it, that's always something that's been jarring for me with backroom stuff is that a lot of these video despite presenting themselves as found footage look like a videogame in first person view.
And you even make good use of the camera to create some cool moments.
@@Laezar1 Thank you! I wanted to make it feel and look like a real person recording
Hands-down, the best back room footage I have ever seen. I wish you could make this into a full movie. This was awesome!!!!!!
Thanks!
That was ridiculously good. I especially like the grittier detail of the drop ceiling tiles and more realistic lighting effects. It was like someone attempting to recreate the Backrooms using an actual live set.
Thank you! I did put quite some time into the small details
Really great work.
I love that your interpretation of the backrooms is way closer to the roots of the backrooms.
The mainstream backrooms have become SCP 2.0 - no mystery, to many monsters not enough liminal spaces.
The use of the camera as it's own perspective is always a great touch.
Thank you! I do think that what people know as backrooms nowadays strayed a bit too far from the original. I only recently found out about different "levels" to it. All of that just doesnt feel right to se so with this video I decided to stick to the original and also purposefully didn't watch other content creators videos to not influence my ideas.
@@TheMrLeoniasty🎉
i think this might be the best backrooms video ive ever watched. props to you bro, you dont understand how much i love this
Thank you very much!
barely 3 minutes into the video and I have to say it's incredible, the transition into the backrooms is superb.
Thanks!
Great work. I put off watching it for two days because I had recently seen a number that were either game captures or cliché. This has a string of original settings and the mind f'k at the end was quite the cherry on top!
Thanks!
Brother, this was amazing. You made sure to remind people that it was a person behind the camera with the subtle reflections in the glass or the the way the camera was held, it looked natural. That genuinely looked good.
Thank you! Didn't know I have a 3rd brother
Jaw dropped at the PS2 refrence - instantly sent me back
Besides that, I adore this, I love that it doesn't go for any cheap jumpscares and I like the touch that he explores more dark areas, it's something you don't really see in backrooms videos (without any Jumpscares)
Thanks! He goes into shadowy places with the camera on because it makes him feel safer. You don't really know how many fully lit places he has seen there since he surelly doesn't record everything.
peak polish cinematic experience
the exit being just out of reach and that creepy 'human' acting like it was made by the backrooms having about as much idea of how people move, as it does of building layouts makes everything so uncanny
and the quality of the noclipping arm effect like omg???????????
Thanks man! I put a lot of thought and effort into this glad you like that weird moving humanoid guy. I saw that pose in a drem actually when I was trying to figure out how can a person stand but do it in a very unnatural way. It just came to me one night.
We need more Videos like this. Not games, levels and cartoonish entities, but real horror set up in a place that looks either like the early war time architecture, an alternate dimension or my most surreal dreams or nightmares. And your Video captured that perfectly. Keep it up, this is my favourite backrooms video of all.
Thank you! Happy to hear you liked it
It's always nice to see someone step up to the plate and conquer the challenge of the next level in the art form. You've set the bar. Nicely done.
BTW: I felt his despair after running in that hallway. 👍🏻
Thank you for the kind words
Incredible work as always, Leon! This almost feels like it's set in the USSR in the 1980s or something. The color palette is gorgeous too. Very faded and vanilla-y. 20:55 is a simply beautiful shot! My favorite moment in the whole video.
Thanks Terapop! I'm happy to hear that you liked it! Here where I live we do have some soviet architecture. The block where I live in even has some buildings that still have bullet holes from the second world war! So that whole block that you see in the beggining just looks like that. If you don't show modern cars in the scene it looks like straight from the 1980's!
Out of all the backrooms media I've watched, I have to say, there's a kind of quiet surreal beauty that I love most in yours. The wood paneling and lighting in the room with the lights flickering, the PlayStation Chamber™, really, just really a fan. :)
Thanks!
The first few seconds I couldn't believe how Kane Parsons it was, then at 0:24 👌😌👌
It's so good from the first 20 seconds. I'm watching this whole thing. Thank you for giving this to us 🙏
Glad you liked it
@@TheMrLeoniasty I very much am liking it. I'm also working on these types of videos and it's a struggle. You've done amazing 🤩, congratulations 👏🎉🥳👏🎉🥳
@JestaSecondChannel thanks!
Found you through a Reaction and I have to say well done Sir 🫡 the Birds at the End... the PS2 Screen...the limited Focus...the Shadow in the Door slowly walking away...the claustrophobic Feeling... I loved every Minute ❤🥰 keep up the good Work 🫡🤗
Thank you!
Okay that last shot was amazing
Thanks Burrito
As a blender amateur i am flabbergasted by the immaculate swork of art that you made just thank you for that because i know that people don't realise the amount of work you've put in
Thanks
This entire video was absolutely spectacular! Amazingly well-made!
Thank you!
Finally someone understood what a hand-held camera means and that the person holding it actually have body xd great job!
Thanks!
Found this through the Reddit post you made on r/liminalspaces. This is incredible! I haven’t seen a backrooms video that captures the liminal feeling of the backrooms so well like this in a while. You’re super underrated. 16:15 is definitely one of my favourite scenes.
Thank you very much!
This is genuinely one of the most creative unique backroom videos I've seen in quite awhile now, I love this video so so much and I hope to see the rest of the series and perhaps learn more about the weird tree display room, dark creature, and the odd room at the end. I have my few gripes with this video like the ps2 area which didn't feel like it fits with the backrooms but was cool to see. Great video man keep it up!!
Thanks, happy to hear you liked it
Unusually good take! Very creative. Make more!
Thanks
Love that initial use of live action. Really helps to ground what comes after.
Enjoyed it a lot
My second ever super thanks! Thank you
What a banger, giving the man recording human expressions and making us feel more attached to him is a great story telling technique. I also like the lighting and the music, the entity was a little cartoonish but fit the scary feeling of this video 100%.
7/10 keep up the good work. Ps I came from the minecraft animation from like 6 years ago.
Thanks! Oh man that animation is old, I forgot that I even made it
Very nice variation of the backfooms and the pov shadows. Also the fact the character is keeping quiet like I imagine someone really trapped there would be. You got yourself a new follower. Awesome work.
Thank you
That's so good !!🫵✨✨✨✨✨✨
Thanks
16:15 We need more of this in these videos. The backrooms can be creepy and unsettling and all that stuff, but sometimes I'm just as likely to ask "What in the world is that?" when looking at something beautiful or comforting as I am if it's creepy. Plus, it gives the vaguest sense of "Maybe there is a reason behind all this after all, and now I have to find out what it is."
I totally agree
Love how random everything is the backrooms yet identifiable everyday objects its like your head almost can get its head around it but not quite
I absolutely love this. Fantastic. The ending was the best part, which was a real treat because so many projects start strong and end poorly. I hope you make more horror!
Thank you! It took me a good while to come up with a satisfying ending and I'm glad with how it turned out
The hand clipping through the wall was so well done that i immediately knew this was going to be one of the good ones 👏
16:13 fading PS2 sound is something
Your version of the backrooms captures a diffirent setting that the others just simply cant achieve. the level of detail for realism like the feet, hand, and realistic movements make it look more authentic. Sets a diffirent vision of a liminal reality. Looking forward for more, props to you👍👍
Thank you
This is peak cinema right here, fucking amazing, really unique and refreshing from the other backrooms content.
Thank you, very nice to hear that
You have gotten me excited for new tapes, friend. Great job.
The way certain lights turned on at just the right time, and the hallway the seemingly won’t let you leave, it’s like the Backrooms is alive or something
It knows you are there
This was beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. Stunning. Breathtaking. Astonishing. Completely and utterly beautiful. I loved it. Very, very much. Thank you for creating this absolute masterpiece.
and thank you for the nice comment
16:00 this is the point where I'd lose all hope. The entire time, you've been trying to reach that elusive "outside", as if you'll just walk out and find yourself on a normal street in the real world, with people everywhere. But then, you see the hopelessness of your situation. The surreal vastness stretches on everywhere, even to the stars. You are lost in another dimension. You are not walking out of this.
and you can't even run away
Never lose hope, you eventually will noclip back to reality if you survive for that long...Albert Einstein once said "If you can get in, you can always get out"
Ending was mind blowing. Like being held by a 4th dimensional creature.
Perfect. The ending was chilling, but the whole video was perfect.
Thanks!
the other side of view about playstation... didnt expect it at all to see it in the backrooms good video man
This is genuinely impressive, and beautiful on top of it.
Thank you
Dare I say, I think this is even better than Kane Pixels take on the Backrooms. Could have done more with the shadow entity, though. I can't wait for tape 2.
Thank you, Tape 2 is already in the works
The most realistic backrooms vids I've ever seen, great job!
Very nice to hear, thank you!
Awesome work!!! So much good , new and creative ideas. Loved every second of it. You nailed it.
Thanks!
16:11 this gave me proper PS2 startup vibes
This is probably one of the best backrooms found footage I’ve seen in a long time. Some of them you can tell it was fake but wow this is amazing
Thank you
This...this is what I've been looking for all my life bro
You're welcome
Is f4k3
This is one of my favorite takes on the backrooms I've seen so far. There's a lot more character to it than I see in many others where it's just focused on looking around then some tension and usually a chase as the climax. Here I really felt like the person behind the camera was more a real person than just the POV, and the "chase" that we get is a really clever implementation. 10/10
Thank you, glad to hear you liked it
The 16:17 part feels like a nod to PlayStation startup screen/music
In fact, it is the startup screen of PS2
I'm reading the last book of annihilation trilogy, what a reference. The area X have this sense of the comum being so uncanny and the feeling something around. Once there, for always there. This video give the sensation. Congrats.
Thank you! I only read part 1 and really liked it, still need to finish the rest
Nicely done, was a thrill ride an closer to the heart of the "backrooms" originality that made us fans.
Props.
Thanks! It was mostly based on that original photo and the feeling I got when I saw it
Dude, that was an incredible experience. It's been a long time since any film from this universe has stirred up such an amount of emotions in me as your work. I've really seen many Backrooms productions, but your film is on par with KanePixels! You've taken care of all the details, so that the viewer can almost feel everything that our protagonist, trapped in Backrooms. The cherry on the cake was the start screen from PS2. It's familiar, but somehow disturbing, giving me goosebumps on my neck. I'm waiting for more! Thanks for your work!
Thank you very much! Glad you liked it, and also, pozdrowiam serdecznie.
21:03 ideas for intro tape 2; he still running and wall, celling, and floor goes getting extremely faster and until eventually instantly hallway broken apart and falling faster in white void that Contains of various pool architecture and broken into the area like pools, that actually called “Tape 2: The Poolrooms”.
Interesting
best video if seen on the backrooms so far. i loved your take, and hope to see another video soon. you deserve more than 50k views.
Thank you! That's a creepy profile pic you've got there
16:15 PS2 menu music, so nostalgic😢 ironically you can get on PS5 right now for the anniversary thing🎉
I hope they leave those boot up options forever and not only for a limited time
Kane Pixel back with another banger!
It's not made by Kane Pixels
@TheMrLeoniasty Really? Then who made it?
@ Me
@TheMrLeoniasty Oooooooooh
@Isaacattack34 yeah haha
