I remember when Blair Witch Project was released. After I watched with friends, I couldn't sleep that night in their house out in the woods. And when we woke up, we found dusty old decrepit decaying leather baby shoes sitting in the driveway behind the car. I never went back to my friend's house after that.
I left my work uniform on the clothesline outside before I went to the movie and was too scared to go out and get it. Next day I had to go to work in damp clothes, not as spooky as your story....OR IS IT?
@@ladyowl8732the demons pissed on your clothes
This hit before Amnesia made me realize that stuff on a screen can't hurt you :). Solid film. Cannibal holocaust is still the goat and certain scenes still make me feel ill to watch despite having seen way worse stuff since then.
My best friend was OBSESSED with Blair With Project, we even made our own shitty version in windows movie maker xD Funny thing is, she was so inspired by that and other horror movies that she ended up going to school for SFX makeup. Now she works on TV shows and movies, she actually just worked on her big movie! She did the practical SFX for the new Candyman movie!
I've been a Blaire Witch fan for so long and I've delved into every facet a billion times... But never did I realize what was going on with the audio between cameras.. Absolutely incredible.
Can't express enough how happy I am to see someone else who actually really likes it
I remember convincing my little brother it was all real, and that this was the final moments of these 3 people.
This was really common to do at the time. I graduated in 1997 and I think everyone I knew in college thought it was real
The paint program open on the screen with the gaps in the scribbles being filled in was INSANELY too hyper specifically accurate
I was 7 when this movie came out. A lot of people actually thought it was real. It was SOOOOO hyped. People were so mad when they found out it was all fake 🤣
I like found footage, because of the lack of a spoon fed linear story. You have to piece together what is going on, and you are usually left to use our own imagination to create the scenarios and the end is up to you to ponder the implications. Sometimes that's more horrific
It's the most effective ending to any horror movie ever, imo. All these years later and it still sends chills up my spine.
I never pay attention to views, likes, or subs when I first go into a video, so I was absolutely SHOCKED to see that with this quality of a video, and someone who is genuinely entertaining, isn't at over 800k already ?? Gonna be so cool watching you grow
Yeah, I thought he had like 600k or something. Glad to find this channel!
Dang, that's really kind! Thanks a lot, hope you stick around!
the fact that you got me so interested in 1998 internet that i forgot i was watching a video about the blair witch project... man you are good, wish you the best.
Thank you so much, that really means a lot.
You have more personality than most of the video essay channels that I have watched. RUclips recommendations fucking worked for the first time.
that is extremely kind, thank you. but there are so many good video essay channels, so keep digging!
Amazing video, man. I have to rewatch The Blair Witch Project now, that sound design is genius. I love how they not only realistically used the materials the characters had at their disposal instead of taking shortcuts, but they even used it to their advantage to create such a powerful effect. Wonderful filmmaking.
great analysis, the ending always stuck with me after all these years but this articulates really well why it had such impact
The nostalgia spiral you took me through in the beginning😩...
This was very entertaining with an amazing analysis of the movie. I loved the way you described the feeling of being lost and "robbed of half of our senses" to illustrate why the ending scene was so impactful. Thank you for the video!
I really appreciate that! Thank you so much for watching!
Man, I literally stumbled upon this video this morning, and here I am at 11 pm, at least 75 episodes deep into the ten tapes, watching livestreams and all 🤯🤯 freaking genius, please I need to see the livestream with J and it's not on the archive!! 😭🙏
Hey!
I'm uploading as many videos as I can almost daily, but youtube has a limit at 15 videos a day, sometimes 30. I recommend staying patient and not continuing until its up on the archive!
Thank you so much for watching both this and also seeking out 10 tapes!
Hey, holy shit were talking materiality and unfiction. Hell yeah. This is one of the best video essays I've seen in our sphere. I'll be recommending this to friends.
That is so kind. Thank you
unsure how this video stumbled into my recommended but im so glad it did :D as someone who also loves the found footage subcategory of horror, i've always admired blair witch for popularising the genre. yet somehow my horror nerd self never thought about how the sound design affected this movie so this was super insightful :0 hope you analyse other movies in the future bc this was great content
I have no idea either as this is my first video and I didn't expect much traction, but I'm stoked to hear its getting recommended to people so thank you for letting me know! And thank you for watching!
I'm a film student and I had to make a final essay for sound design class comparing two movies, I chose The Blair witch project and The shinning as I truly love both of them. My essay had the exact train of thought as your video and I loved your work here. Specially the music from Hit and run lol
Hey, cool! Never heard anyone else talk about that. Also good catch on the music :)
Yes! Thank you! I've been saying this for the past 20 years, and you did much better job articulating it than I would have. Thanks for this video and the other great content. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next.
glad to hear it! thanks so much for watching!
About your outro: I have been binging your videos for the last couple days and I absolutely LOVE your humor and style! Please don't stop, you're takes are well thought out and beautifully crafted, and your quick humor is so terribly dumb in the most hilarious way possible! It warms my heart to see you here, starting a whole new thing, and to see how far you've come in the past year! Definitely subscribed, I should probably get on your patreon..
Came backwards through all your videos and now im here awaiting whatever is next. Great job man, you are doing fantastic, and its nice to finally learn your cats name!
Man, coming here after discovering you through 10 Tapes was a trip. Amazing.
Really enjoyed you calling crickets "hippy hoppers", way better name for them in my opinion. I even think I will steal it, if anyone asks ill let them know where I got it from as compensation.
I saw your video about final destination and now i'm going through your backlog. that 45 seconds of blair witch has never left my mind since it came out when i was a kid. nothing else in that movie got me quite like the screams so far away and getting closer and closer. seing it as a kid, you dont really understand why the sound is suddenly so far away, but it really scared me and left an imprint. good to know it stuck to another persons brain. thank you for the video.
You are hands down the funniest Swede I've ever seen. And I've seen over 10 of them!
thanks but I don't know man, that bergman guy has been killing it lately
Excellent analysis, nailed why found footage is an amazing format/genre/category. Explained succinctly why the genre is my all time favorite. I still come back to The Blair Witch Project when I can. It makes me want to learn how to make something like that.
Thank you so much!
I've always appreciated BWP a lot.
And I also believe that one of the best aspects of it is its simplicity, meaning that anyone _could_ make something similar! Do it!
Absolutely love your point about the audio and what happens in the final couple of minutes- I have always been obsessed with that!! And yes, I bet most people don’t realize what’s going on with the audio- but when you do, it hits just at a visceral level! Awesome video!! 🎉
Saw this in the theater when it was released. The sound was indeed creepy as hell. Especially the rock cracking sounds. It didn’t sound like rocks, and it sounded like it came from behind you, and felt like it was actually in the theater with you, I even looked behind me.
The fact I remember that moment in the theater this many years later is testament to how well the sound was done.
this popped up on my recommended page and I feel like i struck gold! looking forward to future uploads
What a great start! Can't wait to see what else comes out of this channel!
this was awesome man, great stuff. i really dig how you picked apart the tech side of it and think you nailed it. such a crazy simple but emotionally complex way to cut that scene.
I just found your channel and while I'm slowly making my way through videos, seeing the joy with which you talk about a film that I truly love makes me so happy.
Loved your explanation of this audio mechanic. I'll be checking out your other videos next!
Certified banger and a perspective I didn't think about when I first saw this movie ages ago.
Saw this in the theater when it first came out. I was right on the cusp of when the false claims of it being a real documentary were found out. I had a suspicion that it might be fictional going into the theatre, but wasn't sure.
Even though I was 20, it scared me so badly that I couldn't sleep that night. Like...not at all. That's the only time a film ever truly scared me like that.
I gotta say my habit of watching videos about horror movies I can never watch really backfired when the screaming audio repeating freaked me out lmao
Love how you always have your tea
Loved this video, so glad i found your channel and can't wait to see more!
That's very kind, thank you so much! More to come :)
It took me so long to watch this movie. Honestly, even if you know the gist of the movie, actually watching it is the only way you can "get it," and yeah, the sound is a huge part of that experience.
wonderful video, I still remember how scared I was the first time I saw the movie, i had never seen an analysis of this movie the way you did, i love the format and editing, keep it up, I will recommend the video to my friends, greetings from Mx!
For my Mom and Dad's honeymoon, they went to a cottage up in the woods. And they rented Blair Witch Project to watch that night. My Mom was so terrified she begged my Dad to keep checking the doors and windows to make sure they were locked.
I just watched the entirety of the 10 tapes archive as well as night minds videos on it in which he shared this youtube channel. Loving the content so far! I never noticed the audio or how their cameras worked that way. Was super interesting.
Really enjoying your videos! I love the passion you have for things. There's a video I've been wanting to make about a scene that hits me like this one hit you. This has really inspired me to maybe get around to making that video someday.
This movie was a formative experience for me as a little kid who lived maybe thirty minutes from where it was filmed… especially not having the wherewithal to know it was fake at my age!
Here for 10 Tapes (I came from the Tik Tok, I never used it untill I saw your series in Night Mind) staying for your humor and interesting topics!! (But mostly the moustache)
I miss 1998. Although I've been using the internet since 1988.
Just stumbled across this channel. Good content man, and a solid, respectable mustache as well. That's a sub, 100%
Thanks amigo, really appreciate it!
I really like this video because this part of the movie was one of the first things I ever heard about Blair Witch. My uncle was telling me about it when I was a kid, and he told me he didn’t remember much about the movie, but that part really stuck with him. Using the audio from the camera in the basement, knowing shes getting closer and closer to a fate you as the audience aren’t even really aware of, just knowing it would be bad but you couldn’t stop her, her screams getting louder and louder until it's too late. So you're definitely not the only one who appreciated that!
Honestly Blair Witch is one of my faves as well as the found footage genre, which I feel you should do more videos on, and this video pointed out a detail that I never thought of. It just shows the dedication that went into the film and the creativity behind it.
Yo! I just came from NM's part 3 about you! I love your work and this video was really fun! I can't wait to see what else you'll talk about!
thank you so much! please feel free to stick around on the channel, I'm hoping to create youtube content more actively going forward :)
Great movie.
Those screams still creeps me out to this day.
I’m feeling watched as you play that sound back during ur monologue.
Love this video! Can't wait to see what else your channel brings, new sub!
Tack, Christian! Appreciate it.
Ahh, Windows 98.... Zoo Tycoon, After Dark Games, Marble Drop, Doodlemation. My child self spent so much time on these
"Never trust a man with a mustache." Preach brother.
great video, i can't wait to see the next one! you're so entertaining. you've earned my sub, good sire
Thank you so much! Working hard on the next one as we speak :)
This was an awesome video!!!
This is a fair representation of the culture of 1998. Thank you, that is all.
Well this was fun! I look forward to more!!
Whoa, this is amazing.
I did not expect to laugh or learn this much while searching for a Blair Witch audio essay.
The first 5 minutes were more entertaining than 85% of RUclips content. Thanks my guy
Alright but having to put together what crickets were in my head there for a second was goddamn hilarious.
Actually, most of the humour in this video immediately made me laugh. I'm looking forward to binging out the rest of these videos for my shift. Very glad NM directed us here.
Second language problems has a tendency to bring out unintended humour for me! Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
Horse! ❤ I loved this film when it came out (even though it terrified me also!), and it was one of the reasons I studied film at college. You getting into the detail of the sound design was fascinating, thank you.
i absolutely adore found footage films, and the blair witch project is what started that for me. absolutely fantastic video
also i love horse. i would die for horse
What a Cool video 😋😋😋😎
Hey, thanks!
oh hey radal
I’ve really been worried about Michael lately. I honestly don’t know what to do. He spends all night staring at the wall, not moving or saying anything. I got him a Tomagachi last week but I haven’t seen it around in a few days. You don’t think..? He wouldn’t.. I mean, right? I dunno, great video though.
thank you for telling me this,,, i will speak to him,,, maybe it just a phase ( hopefully . . . )
//jeff
blair witch is one of those movies that affected me more than i ever expected, thanks for sharing another explanation to how it did that
Oh god. The ghosts of my lost neopets still haunt me.
new fave creator, great work!
True story: before this was announced as a movie or released theatrically, the producers circulated some VHS copies around college campuses purporting it to be a true story. THIS is how i saw it, i believe in the fall of ‘97. I’ve never been so scared of a movie or maybe of anything. The whole walk back across campus, my friend and i were trying to pick logical holes in it because we were both so shaken up.
The commentary track for Fight Club was lit.
your cat has the same name as my wifi thats so cute of us
Awesome video! :3
I love your channel
Adding this video to my dating profile as a perfect representation of my niche obsessions
Here before your channel and video blows up 🤘🏼
New to your channel and just now got around to watching the first video on it. Didn't realize you've been sipping THAT SAME FUCKING DRINK FOR A YEAR WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO FINISH IT??
we were paralyzed with fear as 12 year old girls. we loved the earth elements used for the sound or "music"
The Blair Witch Which Blart Paul Mall Cart Cop paradox as they call it
As someone known as Michael, thanks for the Neopets guilt trip. At least someone noticed me.
Just a few months after seeing Blair Witch in a theater, as a 29 year old, I was at an event on a big scout camp site and had to walk through about 100 yards of unlighted forest, well after sundown, to get to my car. As I made that walk, my brain suddenly informed me that I was indeed about to be grabbed and murdered, like in the movie. Fun times. And of course it was right, dagnabbit, and I am now a ghost.
10:33 you're not alone there.
2:09 cool touch showing the vineyard first then the green hill
Great eye for details :)
Underrated bru
Obsessed with the dance break 2:00 😍
Great video!
"tama-gooch-ee" was unexpected lmao
Alright, the fact that I'm simultaneously watching this video and playing Neopets in 2024 just made me pause this video and laugh really hard and it's only 2:20 in. 🤣🤣
My pets are fine and dandy btw.
As a 32 year old who was way ahead of the curve and used the internet as a 7 year old in 1998, I can assure you, almost no one knew about The Blaire Witch because of the internet 😂
Interestingly, the majority of the movie's budget, or at least almost all of the post-production budget, went into the sound. If you watch the Sundance cut, which is essentially the raw footage with only the barest of editing, the dialog is MUCH harder to hear, and almost all of the ambiance "depth" is gone. The filming was done on a budget camcorder, but serious money went into post-processing. It seems that that was a wise investment
The hippy hoppers. I vote to rename crickets to hippy hoppers
Wonderful and interesting video! So happy to have stumbled across this channel! 😊
Would anyone know the name of the song that starts around 4:22? It’s so pleasant!
a kitty!!!! :0 oh a very cute kitty
In terms of found footage movies, I personally prefer Cannibal Holocaust and Exhibit A. If you want to see realistic horror, they are incredibly realistic. They aren't even supernatural horror movies, they are realistic depictions of people's mental states deteriorating although Cannibal Holocaust is also the first found footage movie all the way back in the 70's and to this day is still one of the most disturbing and brutal movies ever made. Exhibit A takes place in a British housing estate, the most relatable setting to me as I live in one, and it's about a family falling apart and it gets unbelievably dark and brutal with psychological torture and family members ultimately resorting to plotting to kill each other, it is downright distressing and anxiety inducing, at least for me, I've never seen a more anxiety inducing movie in my entire life and it upset me to my core because of how realistic it is. Admittedly, those two movies are excruciatingly brutal and dark in very realistic, disturbing, troubling, and deeply emotionally upsetting ways, dealing with themes like how ordinary people can do depraved things under the right circumstances, mental health degradation, to the point of nihilistic and Cannibal Holocaust has cannibalism, r***, s**** t****, both male and female g*** m**ilation in it, so I guess I wouldn't consider them to be remotely as widely appealing as The Blair Witch Project, not remotely anywhere close, in fact I'd go as far to say I wouldn't even recommend them to anybody... but I certainly prefer them, because of my preference for harsh, bleak, challenging cinema, but I think that my tastes are just unusual. I still think Exhibit A and Cannibal Holocaust are objectively well acted and well made movies, though, and about something, about showing how normal people can turn bad in the right situation, not just pointless shock content like some disturbing movies...
First 10 tapes, now great RUclips videos, what else can you do?
I cook a pretty mean lasagna
@@jeffiot hell yeah
