Is it? Average movie is 90 minutes. So $780 on average. $120 fee. $900 to have your film officially rated and signed off for official release in theaters doesn't seem even remotely like an exorbitant fee. At all. Like, if you are planning to release a theatrical film in actual theaters and you struggle to pay $1000 imagine how cheap the movie must be. And probably not very good.

There's an equivalent on bilibili, the Chinese version where people would submit a 24 hour video of a spinning chicken nugget with a timer on the side. All submitted videos need the unrepeated sections manually reviewed and forces the reviewers to watch the whole thing
My fav part was when it was almost dried then the layer started peeling off and more paint was splashed on because it was almost tworn off, also stop with spoilers! What if someone who didn’t watch it yet saw this!
I would have done a Tyler from Fight Club by adding split second images of terrible things. So fast and spaced so randomly that they will have to question what they saw. Naturally dicks, but I would also add in horrific pictures of people skinned and burnt too just to mess with them and make them question themselves. Anyways 1,500$ doesn't sound too bad. Not all films need to be released in theatres. Especially when places like YT exist.
Yeah seriously, like why do you think they mark the price that high? That's literally just how much they're comfortable with doing their job. What's even dumber is thinking they'd HAVE to watch the whole thing in one sitting and in a single position.
@@EnclosedPoolArea except they do, movies bleed other movies of money with timeslots in theaters, consumers choice (not everyone can buy every movie or watch em), and even fuck up marketing if another movie is more popular than theirs at release date.

I would watch that in theaters!! Someone ask this guy to release it (I think it would be hella funny for people to expect an actual storyline, get tickets, and just stare at paint drying for 10 hours)
A 2 hour movie would only cost a little over $1000. Even on a very low budget movie they cost like 50k. At that point what’s another 1000 to get it in theaters
It’s actually extraordinarily reasonable, kind of surprising that it isn’t significantly higher. Even if your film is exorbitantly long at 4 hours, that’s only a total of $2,225. If you can’t afford that (and most movies are half this length or less) to put your movie in theaters, then you can’t afford to make a movie at all.
@@saint7626you know indie films could have 0 budget. You can easily make a film under 400€-4000€, this rating would double the cost. If the rating is mandatory, it shouldn't cost that much, and not be based on lenght as it is creative choice.
If you calculate 8.75 per minute = £5,311.25 (10 hours, 7 minutes) + £125 fee (£5,436.25) + other costs (release, streaming, etc.), which can be calculated from subtracting the total cost that we have (£5,436.25) from the total budget, so £5,936 - £5,436.25 = £499.75. The total budget of the film would be £5,936, and maybe costs that weren't released may total it to over £6,100.
@@kunalgub you can’t forget the 75 cents because it adds up quickly. An average film of 90 minutes would be $912.50, and that 2 hour one would be $1175. This is all outdated though, they started charging by the number of theaters you’re screening at rather than the length of the film last year
I challenge you to watch paint dry for 10 hours, paying close attention to make sure nothing was slipped in that would cost you your job if you missed it, and call that 2 days off. The problem with stuff like this is it punishes the people that aren't involved in the decision making. That's like yelling at the kid running the register because prices went up. Not their job, not their problem

@@josiahbaumgartner7643 It's not though. It does prevent those who can't afford it a mainstream audience, of course with places like Vimeo or RUclips, that's less of an issue, but still.
@boratsRequiring rating is obviously necessary. Requiring payment for it is practical. The payment could be smaller, but without such a requirement the board would be flooded with requests and largely unpaid reviewers.
@borats imagine you are running the agency that gives ratings to all films in your entire country. What costs would you have? You have to pay dozens of people to watch the films, of course, but you also need to organize and train them so you need to hire managers and there will be disputes with that many people so you need to pay for HR and there’s enough money in and out that you need an accounting department and you need offices for all these people and furniture like desks and chairs, and they all need computers and some TVs and and you need to pay for the electricity for the building and the internet and they need printers and papers and envelopes and ink and labels and folders and pens and occasionally the carpet wears out in your office so you need to replace that from time to time and on and on and on. How do you expect them to rate these movies for cheaper? Bear in mind that the less expensive you get exponentially more movies being submitted for review. The average indie film has a budget of 2.5 million. The average blockbuster has a budget of $56 million. At their rates, it will cost you a little over a thousand dollars for a 2 hour movie. If you don’t have a thousand dollars to pay to get your film rated, your film does not have enough budget to be worth releasing in theaters anyways.
Yep. They took it like champs. Like seriously. It is easier to make a film of paint drying than it is to actually WATCH the entire thing. Gotta give them respect for that.
Hats off to the guys who watched it over 2 days and still did the jobs they were required to do. In other news a customer in a supermarket paid a checkout worker 100 pounds in 1p coins because the customer was protesting about cost of groceries. Despite the fact that the checkout worker is not involved in setting prices....
This is the best way to pay for a niche government department. Better than your taxes going to some random bureaucrat paid by the hour to watch paint dry.
How is this a protest? He literally just got a bunch of people to pay 2 people to sit and do nothing. I’m sure those 2 people were like “darn he got us so good!” while wiping their tears with the cash 🤣

To be honest what sucks is that he literally just paid a shitty system. He made two people who likely had nothing to do with the pricing of the board, watch 10 hours of nothing, and still gave money to the people he disliked. He literally lost in every way.
Its not about the money, its about sending a message
What message? That the people who rate films shouldn’t be paid?
@@AyjayAlleywayI guess he wants the taxpayer to cover it rather than the movie companies who make millions off it
This is the real world equivalent to those old RUclips comments that would report 24 hour videos
There's an equivalent on bilibili, the Chinese version where people would submit a 24 hour video of a spinning chicken nugget with a timer on the side. All submitted videos need the unrepeated sections manually reviewed and forces the reviewers to watch the whole thing
I WANT PAINT DRYING 2: THE RETURN TO THE WALL
My favorite part about that film was when the paint dried
Bruh Spoiler
Stop spoiling the movie dumbass
Idk, the part with the drying paint was pretty good too
My fav part was when it was almost dried then the layer started peeling off and more paint was splashed on because it was almost tworn off, also stop with spoilers! What if someone who didn’t watch it yet saw this!
@@RoboRoverPlayzI didn’t, and now im disappointed because i didn’t experience this miracle of a film.
I need a 56 hour director's cut
We need a Billionaire to fund a year long version of this
and release it
The whole British film industry is being held hostage by a pissed off film maker backed up by a billionaire with a sense of humor
I hope the creator makes a sequel I really enjoyed it hopefully the next color is going to be red or black
fool played himself, he really was like "let me protest the organization by giving them money"
Yeah. Seem like bbfc would review any kind of film, whatever the length is as long as you can pay for the fee.
I would have done a Tyler from Fight Club by adding split second images of terrible things. So fast and spaced so randomly that they will have to question what they saw.
Naturally dicks, but I would also add in horrific pictures of people skinned and burnt too just to mess with them and make them question themselves.
Anyways 1,500$ doesn't sound too bad. Not all films need to be released in theatres. Especially when places like YT exist.
Yeah, you can just speed it up by 50% if you wanted to cheat, which knowing humans, will.
Yeah seriously, like why do you think they mark the price that high? That's literally just how much they're comfortable with doing their job.
What's even dumber is thinking they'd HAVE to watch the whole thing in one sitting and in a single position.
@@dianapennepacker68541500 dollars PLUS 8 dollars PER MINUTE. A 3 hour movie, 180 minutes long, would be 3000 dollars on rating alone.
At least Paint Drying film is way more interesting than most Netflix shows you can find nowadays.
bro why are you everywhere and why tf are you so early to this video
I don't understand why their movies suck. They get the most expensive actors but it's like they spend 0 on the script
@@mahadismail9569some of their recent movies have been pretty good.
@@Kyrrinxbro, They are everywhere, because they are either bots or paid shills, that get notification of when things go live.
@@mahadismail9569 you'd think the actors would feel bad or something and improv better shit than is on the script but nah
100% those fees were lobbied by the bigger companies in the film industry
What do they gain from that exactly? Not like they need to stave off competition from zero budget homemade movies.
@@EnclosedPoolArea except they do, movies bleed other movies of money with timeslots in theaters, consumers choice (not everyone can buy every movie or watch em), and even fuck up marketing if another movie is more popular than theirs at release date.
And by having a fee it keeps others away from wanting to waste money on a film. Stopping them from ever getting a chance at catching the eye of other investors and actually becoming a future competitor
@@EnclosedPoolAreathey are literally competing with people on their phone since 2006 are you joking? Your watching RUclips not tv rn
my favorite part was when it was white i loved that part
Imagine if it got released to theaters and it became the #1 rated movie in the world. 😂
There was a streamer on twitch who did that as a gag and it was their most popular stream by an enormous margin
He should release it and charge £10.
It'll make a novelty gift.
Like a CD of greatest hits by William Hung.
Still a better love story than Twilight.
The prices seem actually reasonable.
“You didn’t have a good childhood if you didn’t watch ‘Paint Drying.’”
Out of all the movies I have seen, this o e has to be the best one. The white color really emphasizes the filmmaker's feelings.
This needs a theater release
Bro, I LOVE much you changed your “ Fun Fact “ expression . Went from abrasive and hella odd, to super chill but still engaging. GREAT FUCKIN WORK!!!
I would skip the video (after watching several of them) solely because your “fun fact” into was so jarring
That last line disappoints
To be honest what sucks is that he literally just paid a shitty system. He made two people who likely had nothing to do with the pricing of the board, watch 10 hours of nothing, and still gave money to the people he disliked. He literally lost in every way.
He should release it in theaters. As a 1 day showing on April fools.
I cried when the paint dried. Truely a masterpiece of a film
World's best prank! Props to that guy forever 🤣
“10/10 will watch again, id love to see it on the big screen though”
but respect to the both staffwho actually watch the movie of paint dry for 2 days long as thier job required...honest work
Yeah honestly repect. I'd be like 3x speed please.
@@Acircleethey probably did exactly that
They just wiped through it and took two 7.5 hour lunches those days.
@@Dubteeyou have to check the audio too, they are crazy strict about that shit.
0% non family friendly
0% stress
0% quality
50% paint
25% drying
25% waiting
I would watch that in theaters!! Someone ask this guy to release it
(I think it would be hella funny for people to expect an actual storyline, get tickets, and just stare at paint drying for 10 hours)
it would’ve been funny if it was in theaters and at random times the front row just starts laughing and abruptly stops
A 2 hour movie would only cost a little over $1000. Even on a very low budget movie they cost like 50k. At that point what’s another 1000 to get it in theaters
Ya it's not unreasonable at all.
It’s actually extraordinarily reasonable, kind of surprising that it isn’t significantly higher. Even if your film is exorbitantly long at 4 hours, that’s only a total of $2,225. If you can’t afford that (and most movies are half this length or less) to put your movie in theaters, then you can’t afford to make a movie at all.
@saint7626 I wasn't being sarcastic btw lol
@@saint7626you know indie films could have 0 budget. You can easily make a film under 400€-4000€, this rating would double the cost. If the rating is mandatory, it shouldn't cost that much, and not be based on lenght as it is creative choice.
I would pay real money to go see this in theaters.
sure you would
@@265aryan You underestimate my commitment to the bit.
Absolutely amazing!
Thinks it’s too expensive to pay $130 so he raises up $7k
you forgot about the 8$ per minute
Math too hard? 8$ per minute which means a 2 hour long movie could be 960$, which for independent and often cash strapped movie makers, is a lot
If you calculate 8.75 per minute = £5,311.25 (10 hours, 7 minutes) + £125 fee (£5,436.25) + other costs (release, streaming, etc.), which can be calculated from subtracting the total cost that we have (£5,436.25) from the total budget, so £5,936 - £5,436.25 = £499.75.
The total budget of the film would be £5,936, and maybe costs that weren't released may total it to over £6,100.
@@kunalgub you can’t forget the 75 cents because it adds up quickly. An average film of 90 minutes would be $912.50, and that 2 hour one would be $1175.
This is all outdated though, they started charging by the number of theaters you’re screening at rather than the length of the film last year
@@kunalgubif you can't afford a thousand pounds to be rated, you're not getting distributed anyway
So two people got two days off and the organisation got more money, funny way to protest
I challenge you to watch paint dry for 10 hours, paying close attention to make sure nothing was slipped in that would cost you your job if you missed it, and call that 2 days off.
The problem with stuff like this is it punishes the people that aren't involved in the decision making. That's like yelling at the kid running the register because prices went up. Not their job, not their problem
@stopthecrazyguy9948 BBFC has less than 50 employees compared to Verizon with more than 115,000 employees. Also why is movie ratings get handled by a nongovernmental organization anyway, all of this could be paid using taxes.
@@imdonewithyallthese guys get ~$70-80k a year.
challenging me to stare at a screen for $30/hr? if you pass that up you’re… flat out stupid. or too lazy to be lazy. or just straight up have no brain.
that isn’t a challenge. that’s the best job in the world.
Wow, he really showed those guys by paying them and getting nothing in return.
@boratsit’s a good policy, wtf are you on about??
@@josiahbaumgartner7643 It's not though. It does prevent those who can't afford it a mainstream audience, of course with places like Vimeo or RUclips, that's less of an issue, but still.
@boratsRequiring rating is obviously necessary. Requiring payment for it is practical. The payment could be smaller, but without such a requirement the board would be flooded with requests and largely unpaid reviewers.
@borats about a thousand bucks to have your film rated really seems pretty reasonable.
@borats imagine you are running the agency that gives ratings to all films in your entire country. What costs would you have? You have to pay dozens of people to watch the films, of course, but you also need to organize and train them so you need to hire managers and there will be disputes with that many people so you need to pay for HR and there’s enough money in and out that you need an accounting department and you need offices for all these people and furniture like desks and chairs, and they all need computers and some TVs and and you need to pay for the electricity for the building and the internet and they need printers and papers and envelopes and ink and labels and folders and pens and occasionally the carpet wears out in your office so you need to replace that from time to time and on and on and on. How do you expect them to rate these movies for cheaper? Bear in mind that the less expensive you get exponentially more movies being submitted for review.
The average indie film has a budget of 2.5 million. The average blockbuster has a budget of $56 million. At their rates, it will cost you a little over a thousand dollars for a 2 hour movie. If you don’t have a thousand dollars to pay to get your film rated, your film does not have enough budget to be worth releasing in theaters anyways.
So to protest their rules, he gave them $5,250… wow such a riveting protest approach
Bro should play this on valentines day so you have 4 different love movies or a 10 hour long movie of paint drying
The movie is amazing, i love the part when the paint says "hey, I'm dryin here!"
Those two guys are absolute troopers ngl
Or they just skim the video for ez 7k
Yo I watched it, and the start of second act was definitely my favorite part, it me on the edge of my seat. totally recommend
The fact that the film raters watched THE ENTIRE FILM is the craziest part
Yep. They took it like champs. Like seriously. It is easier to make a film of paint drying than it is to actually WATCH the entire thing.
Gotta give them respect for that.
Clearly we need a paint-drying cinematic universe.
The most respectful form of protest this planet has seen
Wasting someone’s time is disrespectful. \joking
What a masterpiece. I should watch this myself.
Don't be shy, let the masses have their fun!
They should’ve added a random jumpscare halfway through
This brings a whole new meaning to "I'd rather watch Paint Drying."
it doesn't
It’s a 9 outta 10, it’s deserved
He should release it in theaters and use the proceeds to make an even longer movie next time.
*Going to Karaoke Rick Roll and loop it for 30 hours next.*
Yo cia ding dong, one of your guys left a glock in my closet during a sting. How should I send it back?
The fact that im so petty I’d actually go watch it ☠️✋
Hats off to the guys who watched it over 2 days and still did the jobs they were required to do. In other news a customer in a supermarket paid a checkout worker 100 pounds in 1p coins because the customer was protesting about cost of groceries. Despite the fact that the checkout worker is not involved in setting prices....
He has a point but the bbfc workers need to be compensated some how
It's called a salary
Im pretty sure its a government organization, so I imagine that taxes would work
@@RhombusOfTheJ ah yes even more taxes wonderful idea
This is the best way to pay for a niche government department. Better than your taxes going to some random bureaucrat paid by the hour to watch paint dry.
@@iexist.imnotjoking5700 Nah just foot Charlie the bill. He got too much already
How is this a protest? He literally just got a bunch of people to pay 2 people to sit and do nothing. I’m sure those 2 people were like “darn he got us so good!” while wiping their tears with the cash 🤣
Yer and the BBFC added additional charges they can add at there discretion for films over 240 minutes, so even more of a wow what a epic protest
I think it was more of a prank.
nobody had likely ever even heard of BBFC before and from now on for a lot of people they're forever known as the "necessary service" of watching paint drying all day. it's a rare campaign that manages to successfully define a brand let alone doing it for so little money (marketing is expensive)
@yapflipthegrunt4687 I hope the people donating to the go fund me knew it was a “prank” lol I could think of a thousand other things to spend money on than funding 2 random people to watch paint dry. To each their own I guess 🥴
Well Charlie truly has a flair for the theatrics
In the credits there is bonus footage. Its hilarious.
