I remember being nervous in real time as a 9-year old :) What I most remember is Aldrin saying "Got the shadow out there" - meaning they were damn close to landing. The final seconds after the "30 seconds!" call were extremely tense. Walter and Wally on the TV didn't notice the computer alarms but I did.
Listening to the radio dialogue between Earth and the lander is one thing, but seeing the interactions inside the lander, the physical locations of control switches and read-outs, the glances at the views outside the windows, it all truly adds a lot to the experience. Thank you for such a wonderful video.
I was so disappointed at having to go to bed that night. But my dad came and got me up so I could watch it live. Amazing sight to watch on a crappy TV. You’ve brought back to life the whole thing again for me. The animation and the sounds are absolutely exactly as I remember it. Having met Neil years later here in the UK, in fact I was. His driver for his lecture at my RAF base. Had him to myself for 20 minutes and he was such an awesome guy. No airs and graces. Just a normal guy who did an extraordinary thing. His words. Thank you for this.
With much respect- he was far far from ordinary. He was HUMBLE and appreciative of the selection and responsibility that came with it. But a real special person with the right combination of passion, skill and never say quit approach.
Thank you so much for this! In 1969, I was a Catholic school second grader. In May, we all had First Communion. Relatives gave me cards with five and ten dollar bills inside. And the first thing I ever bought with the first money I ever had was a cheap, plastic, handheld, 10x magnification telescope. In June and July I was able to stand in my front yard and stare at the moon with an even more disturbing sense of wonder than I had with my seven year old naked eyes. On clear summer nights I still do. The idea that our Moon is so tangibly real yet so ethereally other worldly still disturbs my sixty year old mind. This video rather literally re-animates my seven year old sense of awe. It feels so real. As if I am right there. Yeah. We actually went… there! What you have created is like… magic.
@@Bibiisachildkiller I think your scepticism is very healthy thing to have, so i wont shame you for your opinion on wither the moon landing where faked or not, instead its more useful to actually present evidence contrary to this idea. To the above comment, "Be easier to do it than fake it.." means basically given the immense technical challenge it would be to fake lunar gravity on earth in conditions where filming a fake lunar landing would be convincing to all history would be immensely difficult and expensive.. almost as expensive as actually just going there. And if we did film a fake lunar landing simply for propagandistic purposes, then whey stop at the moon? Why not continue the deception by faking a martian landing.. Venusian landing.. etc etc You can actually see the sites the Apollo missions landed with Earth based telescopes and publicly owned citizen scientist organizations. Certain rock samples taken from the lunar surface and brought back to Earth are Billions of years older than any rocks on Earth, and are physically impossible to obtain, unless you go there and obtain them. The faking of the moon landings would have needed the co-operation of literally hundreds of thousands of employees to remain silent for over fifty years now, and if you know human behaviour its almost impossible to keep any kind of secret for long, let alone over 50 years! There is a physical phenomenon called cockrolling, its basically refers to the shape dust lifts up and falls behind the wheel of a moving vehicle, if you observe the dust being cockrolled by the wheels of the lunar rover you can observe the lunar dust rise and fall in a way consistent with LUNAR gravity, not Earth gravity.. It would be absolutely impossible to convincingly create this phenomenon on Earth as seen in the apollo mission photography. You would need to suspend every single grain of dust on a string to artificially recreate the same gravitational conditions here on Earth, which is just absurd. And here's the golden bullet... The undefeatable argument.. If the Moon landings where faked, and you could prove this for a fact using scientific observation. Then you would be the most famous person in history, you proved the greatest moment in history was a ruse and you would also win a nobel prize, because science rewards the discovery of knowledge, welcomes it infact. And if science did somehow find that the lunar landings where faked, without any doubt i,e we went there and found no lunar decent stages.. no footprints, flags etc. I would completely accept this new knowledge.
@@BibiisachildkillerYeah, try simulating a multi-hour long live broadcast with massive studio lighting with 12 minute film reels simulating moon gravity 30 years before CGI. What a fvcking m0r0n. Not even the biggest movie studios could achieve that kind of images and NOT EVEN THE SOVIETS, who lost the moon race, accuse the US of faking it. Like, for real, what a stvpid fvcking m0r0n.
I’m currently teaching a class of young children about the Apollo missions in primary school. They’ve loved this and it’s given them a more realistic perspective and feeling of the landing than clips from the recent films. Thank you!
AMAZING work! Absolutely AMAZING! You even have the guys looking around in the right places for displays and controls...well done by the research team! Best depiction EVER of the rocky landing zone Neil described and avoided...the movie didn't do it justice. You did.
@@anthonylowder6687 No one was ever ever going to land IN a crater, mate...Ever. Maybe never will. Always on "flat smooth" surfaces. Of course nothing there is completely flat or smooth but you do the best you can. For one thing the ascent stage can't safely take off if the tilt angle is too much. For another thing you never want to risk masking the antennas with something like a crater rim.
look into the details, they narrowly overflew a crater causing a slightly higher fuel consumption, and they landed on the far side of the crater. He is right.
My god, this animation is outstanding. I’ve never felt so *there* before. This really puts you right into the crews perspective of landing on the moon. Great job!
I’ve listened and watched ti the Apollo 11 touchdown sequence many times over the years. This is an amazing fresh take that makes you feel that you’re in the LEM. Thank you!
I was 12 when this took place and I only got to see scraps of the landing, living in Malaysia, pictures of the astronauts and the recording of some voices including Neil’s ‘That’s one small step….’. This animation really took me into the moment about everything that took place, the tension and the courageous decisions to land safely. Great work and thank you for making an old fan, mid 60s, happy!
I was 12 as well, spending the summer in Menorca. Spent all summer reading Time, Newsweek, etc. When the big day came the TV receiver on the island was down. Disappointed doesn't describe it :(
I was 12 as well, with the whole family glued to the old black and white TV set in Sweden at four o clock in the morning. I´m very happy to have watched it live.
I was 13 at the time, living actually about a mile from where I live now. I missed the first five minutes or so of the PDI burn, as I was out running an errand with my Dad, but I came back home at right about the time that the 1202 and 1201 alarms started to pop up. I can still recall every feeling, even somatic senses, from that day.
I was born as Apollo 15 was taking back off from Hadley plain. Still one of my favourite places to view through my telescopes. Obviously I wasn't aware of the buzz it created in Ireland at the time, but the older I got, anything about space just soaked into me.
That was just magnificent! Even though I knew what was going to happen, my heart was in my throat the entire time watching this! I was just five weeks short of my 9th birthday when this happened. Australian schools didn't have any audio-visual gear back then, so my teacher took her entire class back to her place, to watch live on her TV as Armstrong & Aldrin set foot on the moon. No permission slips needed back then.. we just went. And I still remember it as if it were yesterday. One of the defining moments of my life!
Really good animation of powered descent. Love how it shows how they were actually orientated looking down looking at what they’re passing before the computer switched programs and let Neil roll the lander up and over. Impressive stuff
Marcus House sent me here. This was fantastic! Great job. I love that you showed them shaking hands, which is what they actually did after touching down.
Remember it well at 14 years old. Fervently followed all the Gemini and Apollo missions as a teen and remember coloring Freedom 7 with Al Shepard 1961 in Kindergarten class. Little did I know I would golf caddy as a teen and have a blast with Al Shepard after his moon landing Apollo 14 mission, and end up, because of these astronauts, as an Airline Pilot in Commercial Aviation in jets right up to the 747. Really different way of looking at history in this animation with the actual recordings and simulated animation with actors, well done, it was great!
I was 14, as well, and Gemini / Apollo were definitely a "rite of passage" in my life...made all the plastic models, from Mercury to the LEM! Glad you could meet Shepard, and follow the inspiration of these people and events!
Wow! Feels like I was there and got to ride in the jump seat. Thanks for creating this awesome simulation. (Those astronauts were exceptional in every way possible. One chance to get everything right or they're dead. Landing long and setting her down perfectly was some off the charts piloting skills on display.)
BEAUTIFUL WORK. I noticed that you delayed the audio from Houston so it sounded just the way Armstrong and Aldrin heard it, which was why Armstrong paused between, "Houston, uh," and "Tranquillity Base here..." Well done!
@@CbassProductions I too noticed that. Since we were in the LM's perspective the audio from Houston is delayed but their responses (since we are there with them) are not delayed. Many say the delay should be about 2.5 seconds. For round trip sure, but almost always you hear from Houston or from the LM perspective so the delay is really half that or one way delay.
I noticed that although I did not understand what I was hearing. Very nice detail! Just one thing.....that idiot CAPCOM intentionally stole Neil's thunder by calling out "We copy ya down Eagle" before Neil had a chance to speak. He should have given Neil the honor of speaking the first words from the moon without interference.
And you included Capcom Charlie Duke’s famous unintended Elmer Fudd impression (“Roger Twan -Tranquility…”) spelled out. Charlie has joked about it in recent days interviews.
I was 15 at the time. I watched the whole mission but especially the descent and landing. Of course I saw the entire first steps by Armstrong. My grandma finally made me come to bed at about 2 in the morning. I will never forget these events. Thank you so much for a fantastic film!
Bloody hell that was outstanding and completely blown away! Came to you through Marcus House and very glad to have taken his advice to subscribe to your channel. I mean, WHAT an introduction!! Absolutely top notch, congratulations on this piece of work and I'm looking forward to trawling through the rest of the channel. Wow! (OK...breeeathe lol)
Wow. Incredible. Phenomenal job on the facial expressions, the views through the window and that zoom out at the end is jaw dropping. Thank you for making this!
Brilliant work guys (animation, acting, atmosphere, sound, the whole works), congratulations! It´s not every day you find yourself on the edge of your seat and holding your breath for the last minute when you already know the end of the story and watched/heard it a thousand times. Keep the good stuff coming!
As a 10yo in 1969, I practiced landing the LEM in my front yard. The Gulf Gas station gave away free paper die cut lunar modules. I attached a string to the LEM, over a Dogwood branch, lowered it slowly to the surface. Wish I still had that paper toy.
Really well done. Like others, I found this was both more compelling than most Hollywood versions (including "First Man") and more comprehensible. Like I actually understood most of those call outs and why they were being made. You really get a sense of how busy and yet methodical the landing procedure was.
Holy Fricken Ship... that was awesome! I actually got anxious as they got closer and closer to landing. The recreation of Armstrong and Aldrin mixed with the real audio was surreal! Amazing... I'm now a huge fan!
I haven't watched anything this well made in a long time. Thank you for this, i just finished "For All Mankind" S3 today so this was perfect. Amazing work!
I'm glad I'm not the only one! Same thing when I watch the Apollo launch videos. So much pride in what mankind can accomplish. Always makes me tear up a little!
Those guys were just incredible. This had to be done - great kudos to you Corey. And to everyone - seeing as you're here, if you've still not listened to the '13 minutes to the Moon' podcast from the BBC then don't miss it, unforgettable backstories, and counting down every second, and every glitch, to this epic mission. Fun facts: to save weight the lander had no seats. And the legs couldn't even hold it up against Earth gravity. The landing was more gentle than expected (the softest of all landings if I remember correctly) so Armstrong had a larger gap to jump down from the bottom of the ladder, without so much of the planned leg honeycomb shortening.
I was scrolling through the comments section to see if anyone recommended '13 minutes to the moon' . This animation is a wonderful accompaniment to that brilliant BBC podcast.
Hoorah! Wonderful docudrama of arguably the greatest 10 minute sequence in human history. I was nine and grew up very close to Johnson Space Center where many friends parents worked in the Apollo program. I ended up having a 30 year career at JSC in manned space flight in the Shuttle, Station and the Orion programs. Not sure why this video doesn’t have at least a million views already.
I watched the landing live and rewatched many times the original footage as well as many recreations. Every time it never failed to evoke an emotional response. This one is the best yet, got a bit choked up and almost had tears in my eyes. Excellent work, you know when create something that pulls out the emotions in your audience, you’ve done your job very well.
I was 19 years old in USMC boot camp Parris Island, SC. We weren’t told of the landing until 3 days later…greatest achievement of the 20th century and we missed it….been pissed for 53 years now
This is incredible. At first glance I though 11 minutes would include a boring stretch. No way! I was engrossed the whole time by the realism of "being there."
All completely brilliant, but for me the most important part was that end shot which showed just how massive the Moon is, and just how tiny and vulnerable the lander was - and we are. Exquisite work.
omg. this is incredible! never has this event been depicted in this way. so personal and gripping. the facial expressions, gestures, body language, camera angles and communication all come together to give it emotion like never before. and in the end with everything to process, just two guys getting it done. this is a masterpiece! Cheers!! Extremely well done
I, of course, was glued to the television as this happened. As nervous and excited as I was, I'm glad I didn't know what the computer overload calls were, and I'm glad that at the time, I believed the call outs of 60 seconds and 30 seconds were simply how long it was until they landed. If I had known that they were call outs for how long until their fuel ran out, then I would really have been puckered up.
Great attention to detail! For example, beginning ~7:31 you can see why they chose to land at lunar sunrise: The shadows provided more detail & depth perception than if the sun had been overhead!
Wow! absolutely beautiful. I watched this landing on my Fathers black and white tv and now have a better appreciation for their cool nerves of steel professionalism. Thank you!!
Armstrong, "I'm gonna..." /*Realizes he doesn't have time to explain how much danger they're in and silently commits to dash to the far side of the landing zone*/ Aldrin "and you're ... Pegged on the horizontal velocity" Shivers down my spine, I knew the story but this shows Armstrong's dash to save the Eagle so vividly. Thank you for this astounding visualization of one of the greatest acts of pilotage in history.
I watched this live on CBS at the time, and this version was even more captivating. I vaguely understood that the astronauts were controlling the capsule's descent, but this left me limp with tension, knowing it all depended on human judgment and reflexes with fuel rapidly running out. Excellent work!
Not even finished with the entire video yet. This is really well done. With the actual comm and the way the actors are shot it feels very realistic. Like we’re right there in the lunar module with them. Excellent execution
I was camping with my family in Indiana, Dad had a portable black and white TV by the campfire late at night. It was almost 11pm est when Niel Armstrong stepped out onto the moon. So, it was a 6-hour 40 min wait till he came out of the spacecraft.
Nice to see the DSKY in action with the 1201 and 1202 alarms. There's a channel here called CuriousMarc where they restore a real AGC and also the communications equipment.
The video where they hook the AGC up to a flight simulator and use it to fly the Apollo 11 landing was SUPER helpful with understanding how the computer was used during the landing, especially with how Program alarms were handled.
Oh, my. Well done, very well done. Thanks for showing how close they landed, JUST beyond the Boulder field. Neil and Buzz had ice water in their veins.
Wow Corey, this was beautifully done! I also was 12 when watching the landing on the tiny black & white television 📺 Now watching as if there were cameras in that cabin looking over the shoulder is just be brilliant. Great video!
This is an outstanding piece of work. This gave you the feeling of being right there for the ride. I cannot describe how big the smile is on my face right now after watching this. Absolutely amazing work guys. Thank you.
Blimey, even I was holding my breath towards the end! Only started breathing again when that famous line of "... a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We're breathing again ... " popped up! Amazing memories!
Now I understand why many people in the Houston control room were holding their breath! this was really tense. You can see that Armstrong and Aldrin were the best of the best, completely focused and following procedures to the letter. They were masters at their craft! They have made many movies about the Apollo 11 landing but IMO none of those movies have captured the reality and tension of this moment. Great work from the people that produced and directed this animation!
So good! Absolutely stunning. Anyone else get nervous despite knowing the outcome? :D
Yep.. had my heart in my throat the entire way down!
Yeah, I was thinking to myself I know what happened, but I was still on the edge of my seat the whole time.
The level of input and correction is almost unbelievable. Different era, but that level of work, with such thin margin for error, is almost unreal.
I remember being nervous in real time as a 9-year old :) What I most remember is Aldrin saying "Got the shadow out there" - meaning they were damn close to landing. The final seconds after the "30 seconds!" call were extremely tense. Walter and Wally on the TV didn't notice the computer alarms but I did.
I felt the same.
Listening to the radio dialogue between Earth and the lander is one thing, but seeing the interactions inside the lander, the physical locations of control switches and read-outs, the glances at the views outside the windows, it all truly adds a lot to the experience.

What a CROCK, this animated film is just an animated film paired with animated voice recordings made by NASA/ Hollywood. Can you prove wrong ???????
No one has!😂
This video should be shown in the Smithsonian. Very well done. The most immersive take on the landing to date.
Yep. I can also see this playing at the NASA visitors center. What a great peace of work!

I haven't watched anything this well made in a long time. Thank you for this, i just finished "For All Mankind" S3 today so this was perfect. Amazing work!
Congratulations on an Exceptional video!! Just fantastic !!
Amazing work!
Well done to everyone involved.
I have to go now, I seem to have something in my eye.
I'm glad I'm not the only one! Same thing when I watch the Apollo launch videos. So much pride in what mankind can accomplish. Always makes me tear up a little!
Excuse me but I'm a bit choked up. Must be Darth Vader nearby.
This is exceptionally well done. Awesome to watch. That final zoom-out is so cool! Thanks for sharing!
Gave me chills, awesome job once again
Having people in the vid takes all the info, like the 1202 error out of the abstract and makes it more a human experience. Nice vid.
Those guys were just incredible. This had to be done - great kudos to you Corey.
And to everyone - seeing as you're here, if you've still not listened to the '13 minutes to the Moon' podcast from the BBC then don't miss it, unforgettable backstories, and counting down every second, and every glitch, to this epic mission.
Fun facts: to save weight the lander had no seats. And the legs couldn't even hold it up against Earth gravity. The landing was more gentle than expected (the softest of all landings if I remember correctly) so Armstrong had a larger gap to jump down from the bottom of the ladder, without so much of the planned leg honeycomb shortening.
I was scrolling through the comments section to see if anyone recommended '13 minutes to the moon' .
This animation is a wonderful accompaniment to that brilliant BBC podcast.
Inspiring! Using the actual audio from 1969 was great move.
Great show. I sat right front of the TV watching the moon landing at that time. Very exciting time that was!
Never gets old. I never tire of watching this.
Just simply an incredible work and tribute to the Apollo 11 astronauts...thankfully Charlie Duke and Col. Aldrin are still with us...
Hoorah! Wonderful docudrama of arguably the greatest 10 minute sequence in human history. I was nine and grew up very close to Johnson Space Center where many friends parents worked in the Apollo program. I ended up having a 30 year career at JSC in manned space flight in the Shuttle, Station and the Orion programs.
Not sure why this video doesn’t have at least a million views already.
OMG that was AMAZING. You put us in the capsule for the moon landing! Speechless. Thanks to Marcus for sending us over.
I Can't Believe How Far This Channel Has Come. I Mean The Quality Of The Astronauts Is Unbelievable, And You Guys Deserves A Million Subs
Wow, that was surprisingly compelling. Really touching. I remember watching it on live TV. Thank you for this. 🙏
WOW!!!!! Absolutely and utterly amazing.
I watched the landing live and rewatched many times the original footage as well as many recreations. Every time it never failed to evoke an emotional response. This one is the best yet, got a bit choked up and almost had tears in my eyes. Excellent work, you know when create something that pulls out the emotions in your audience, you’ve done your job very well.
I’ve always thought the 1201 alarm came before the 1202 alarm. Interesting.
Fantastic recreation!!! Thank you for the outstanding work. 😊
I love that the film is 11 minutes long exactly.
I thought that was a nice touch, too.
So cool in every way.
I was 19 years old in USMC boot camp Parris Island, SC. We weren’t told of the landing until 3 days later…greatest achievement of the 20th century and we missed it….been pissed for 53 years now
Wow, words don't do this justice. Amazing animation keep it up!
The zoom out at the end... stunning.
This is incredible. At first glance I though 11 minutes would include a boring stretch. No way! I was engrossed the whole time by the realism of "being there."
All completely brilliant, but for me the most important part was that end shot which showed just how massive the Moon is, and just how tiny and vulnerable the lander was - and we are.
Exquisite work.
Fantastic job! The sideways glances at each other and the spacecraft instruments really added to the immersion. Nicely done! 👍
This actually brought a tear to my eye. I remember it well.
I was totally blown away, this is this exceptional 😍 Thanks Corey and to everyone involved 👍
Perfect way to end with that fade away..
omg. this is incredible! never has this event been depicted in this way. so personal and gripping. the facial expressions, gestures, body language, camera angles and communication all come together to give it emotion like never before. and in the end with everything to process, just two guys getting it done. this is a masterpiece! Cheers!! Extremely well done
I, of course, was glued to the television as this happened. As nervous and excited as I was, I'm glad I didn't know what the computer overload calls were, and I'm glad that at the time, I believed the call outs of 60 seconds and 30 seconds were simply how long it was until they landed. If I had known that they were call outs for how long until their fuel ran out, then I would really have been puckered up.
This is by far your best work yet! It really felt like I was crammed into the LEM with Armstrong and Aldrin. You have done this so well.
Great attention to detail! For example, beginning ~7:31 you can see why they chose to land at lunar sunrise: The shadows provided more detail & depth perception than if the sun had been overhead!
What a labor of love, and such a great re-enactment!
Wow! absolutely beautiful. I watched this landing on my Fathers black and white tv and now have a better appreciation for their cool nerves of steel professionalism. Thank you!!
I thought the ending had a nice touch with the zooming out from the lander. Great Job you two.
This just made me smile so much and had teary eyes at the end.
Wow, just WOW! Amazing video!
You did an amazing job capturing the angles that complete the historical footage. Excellent work!
You’ve done one of the most badass moments in human history justice. Beautiful work!
Armstrong, "I'm gonna..." /*Realizes he doesn't have time to explain how much danger they're in and silently commits to dash to the far side of the landing zone*/
Aldrin "and you're ... Pegged on the horizontal velocity"
Shivers down my spine, I knew the story but this shows Armstrong's dash to save the Eagle so vividly. Thank you for this astounding visualization of one of the greatest acts of pilotage in history.
I watched this live on CBS at the time, and this version was even more captivating. I vaguely understood that the astronauts were controlling the capsule's descent, but this left me limp with tension, knowing it all depended on human judgment and reflexes with fuel rapidly running out. Excellent work!
This is just stunning! Absolutely mesmerising! What a fantastic piece of work you've made!
I loved this all the way through. The pan-out at the end was a magnificent surprise.
We need more content like this. Absolutely amazing 👏
This is highly underrated
Astonishing Corey. The attention to detail and emotional build is perfect!!!!!
Not even finished with the entire video yet. This is really well done. With the actual comm and the way the actors are shot it feels very realistic. Like we’re right there in the lunar module with them. Excellent execution
Brings back memories as I witnessed it as it happened. Is great job guys!
This is my first memory at a national level!
I was camping with my family in Indiana, Dad had a portable black and white TV by the campfire late at night. It was almost 11pm est when Niel Armstrong stepped out onto the moon. So, it was a 6-hour 40 min wait till he came out of the spacecraft.
Great work. That's the first decent visual representation of the boulder field which clearly shows why they switched to manual. Well done!
Nice to see the DSKY in action with the 1201 and 1202 alarms. There's a channel here called CuriousMarc where they restore a real AGC and also the communications equipment.
The video where they hook the AGC up to a flight simulator and use it to fly the Apollo 11 landing was SUPER helpful with understanding how the computer was used during the landing, especially with how Program alarms were handled.
Oh, my. Well done, very well done. Thanks for showing how close they landed, JUST beyond the Boulder field. Neil and Buzz had ice water in their veins.
Wow Corey, this was beautifully done! I also was 12 when watching the landing on the tiny black & white television 📺 Now watching as if there were cameras in that cabin looking over the shoulder is just be brilliant. Great video!
The only visualization of this landing I know of which doesn't leave out a single bit of dialogue. (As far as I know.)
There are a few sections removed. The real landing took about 2 minutes longer than what is depicted here.
This is an outstanding piece of work. This gave you the feeling of being right there for the ride. I cannot describe how big the smile is on my face right now after watching this. Absolutely amazing work guys. Thank you.
One of the best videos I've ever seen, truly amazing work!
Amazing work Corey. Really brings it to life.
Blimey, even I was holding my breath towards the end! Only started breathing again when that famous line of "... a bunch of guys about to turn blue. We're breathing again ... " popped up! Amazing memories!
Recommended to see this by a real astronaut, Tim Dodd. Best representation I have seen Neil and Buzz were so busy. Great tension.
A++ just wish this was 4 hours longer!!!! Excellent job!!! Nice work!!!!
Now I understand why many people in the Houston control room were holding their breath! this was really tense. You can see that Armstrong and Aldrin were the best of the best, completely focused and following procedures to the letter. They were masters at their craft!
They have made many movies about the Apollo 11 landing but IMO none of those movies have captured the reality and tension of this moment.
Great work from the people that produced and directed this animation!
Tremendous Work, I seen this live, I was 10 yrs old. But to see Apollo 11 touch down I can See what I only imagined all the years, Thank You !!
This video is a piece of art. Literally a piece of art 😍🥹
That was my thought also
DAMN, the delay between capcom and Eagle is well done. Highly detailed, whats not to love???
