hey everyone, just a heads up for the antimemetics purists: this is probably our worst episode because we had tons of issues filming it on set and I had to make a lot of compromises from the original story, especially towards the end. We know we left out a bunch of stuff (again) but we had to compromise a lot on this one. However, thank you for everyone constructive criticisms and feedback. I love how you guys are passionate about the story. I love this community so much! Thank you so much for watching what we do, with all his flaws. I hope you enjoy it regardless! And get ready for episodes 3 and 4 which are FIRE!
my only critisism is that the audio sounds slightly off since theres no ambient sounds and everything sounds like it was recorded in a studio. other than that this was a very good episode and i cant wait for the next episode.
Damn this acting is noticeably worse and the old man having awkward voice over certainly makes things worse, why's his accent constantly changing? Also don't put ASMR eating and slopping noises when a dude is eating a fricking nut
The greatest enemy of the antimemetics division: an infohazard. The department that can know the entire picture of a puzzle by only piecing together it's edges against an entity that desperately wants to be known.
Not really 3125 is memeplex of antimeme and meme that partial intersect with reality it attacks anything that knows about it it overload it victims with alien ideas that they can't even be considered human anymore it gets rid of the concept of humanity and civilization to the point it breaks down
3125 technically doesnt want to be known it source of memetic and antimemes it kills anything that knows about and wipes out civilization that find out about them making them unrecognizable
It’s so ironic. Because they’re constantly being made to forget things by their enemies they keep forgetting that there’s a whole category of things that they’re *supposed* to forget.
This is one of the scariest horror series I've ever seen/experienced. Forgetting, worse - remembering.. when living in the limbo of amnesia is better than the alternative ... wow. Very well done. I've read the stories and enjoy them just as much, you take the essence of it and let it blossom in imagination. Big Koodos on casting, acting, direction, everything is perfect in this old SCP lover's heart.
Honestly I think this was pretty well done, given the circumstances. Without the budget of a company like Netflix or Amazon, it makes sense that you'd have to make compromises and change things for budgetary reasons. Like, having it be set on a farm instead of a lake was a pretty good compromise so you wouldn't have to rent a boat. While I understand why people might be disappointed, I'm just happy to have it, and for free on RUclips nonetheless!
This, in my opinion is the worst one of the 4 exactly because we had to cut down so much and make so much compromises because of what happened on set that day logistically
A fun side effect is that the studio has to be CREATIVE with what they got, and that tends to shine the most when they get it right. Cant wait for future episodes!
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicarYou’re too close, an artist’s habitual flaw. If this is the worst that’s wonderful, because it clears such a high bar. People think you made something amazing with what you had. At some point, your art doesn’t belong to you, and the people who are receiving it get to decide. Just another artist’s opinion. :) I’m so excited for this series.
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar if there are only 4 episodes, that means you're only be covering the Marion arc of the story? I can see why some says that the second half loses a bit of steam, but it'd be a shame not to have a closure.
The original wasn't just any boat, it was a tiny *rowboat*. Think about what that would look like: Every shot is on a long boom or a drone. You probably have a second, larger boat with the crew. The two boats are bobbing relative to each other, so you have to stabilize the image somehow. Getting the audio is a nightmare unless you use lavaliers, which will probably sound worse. You have to remove a ton of reflections in post. The actors can't/shouldn't wear visible floatation devices, so you have to figure something out in case the small boat capsizes. There are probably half a dozen other problems I didn't even think of. It just goes on and on and on. Cutting the lake and moving it to dry land is by far the most practical way to actually get usable footage on a reasonable time and budget.
The big bad is introduced, and we are shown a fraction of its power. It's already killed off the original division, and the new division can't remember what they are fighting. The odds are nearly insurmountable, and that is a great setup for a monster.
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar those 10 mins were better than 85% of what I watched on Amazon. Not in the last weeks. Or months. I mean. Ever. Please realize this. Yes, it may be the source material and that I like it a lot but the acting, the framing, how you build up the tension. That is all your interpreration. You (and with this I mean everyone involved in this) seem to have a VERY clear vision and also seem to have a very deep understanding of the SCP mythos and how to integrate every aspect of a production to make this (finally) a reality. Please, do not sell yourself under value.
The fact that Antimemetics has even been adapted is impressive by itself but something of this caliber from an indie project is nothing short of.... supernatural.....
I think on average the memetics division is worst because half the stuff they need to contain turns out to be an info hazard and so you might have dozens of presumably empty containment units and someone comes to put away a new scp and unleashs an info hazard they couldn't know about
It's a shame you don't have a bigger budget, the antimemetics division stuff deserves full series adaptation, but you are doing awesome with what you have, hope to see more from you!
I loved it. That little nod that marion "saw" something. And for me, the only explanation on why she "survives" is because she realized she had to forget and applied herself with amnestics that would trigger after certain time. She knew that something was wrong, so she left herself a way out, knowing that she could use her notebook to remember . But the monster came too fast, she was not able to write (just like in memorial), she knocked herself out (out of mind/out of sight like in memorial) and bam, she survived when the amnestics took effect. Of course, it happened, we just forgot about it. did it?
In the book she also wonders why she went all alone to see Marness, and then she realizes she wasn't alone. She had brought a whole team of agents, who are now dead and erased from history. "So, assuming the division was fully staffed before the event, maybe those empty roles are the people who died this time around. Maybe one of them activated the beacon. A commendable act, by someone now only known to exist because of that single act." But that is difficult to convey in the adaptation without a narrator.
The introduction of those short repeating moments as a “tell” for the audience that something is off was an inspired choice. I don’t remember that being in the source material but it works really well visually!
@ectoplasm12345 when he throws the 2 rocks into the pond, he actually only throws 1, and the 2 shots are looped, but cut not to look like a loop at first glance.
Should have started on episode 2 and convinced us all that episode 1 used to exist but due to an anomaly it was scrubbed from existence and then refused to elaborate
Been greatly anticipating this. EDIT: how is it so believable? SCP adaptations are almost always cheesy and campy, but this just plays it straight and is somehow still super legit. The fact that it's _Antimemetics_ of all canons makes that even more astounding. I still can't believe you made this.
In my opinion, it’s because it’s anti-memetics that it works. The other departments would have to rely on heavy cgi, because they’re dealing with physical monsters, or with things that affect a large area. But this affects the mind, it affects memories. So it’s easier to reproduce if you are good at what you’re doing, which of course, the studio definitely is!
@@djmewtwo6981 I agree, the horror is best left in imagination because to each the horror is different. As under described as it is, the better! (I see some said that's why Lovecraft works cos he just, doesn't really tell you about the horror?
Its so interesting that no one anticipated a creature that grew stronger when more knowledge of it is dispersed. Tbh, I would have thought she'd be more careful, especially when acquiring memories as an antiemetic division member
@@lirehsa he did know about it, but look at the state he is in. The moment I heard about a memory bomb going off, there would be a lot more caution. But you're right, as many unassuring things as assuring things had occurred up till that point
Your presentation of an 05 is classic! I never imagined him as a pistachio chomping, Matrix-y Marlon Brando. I should've thought of that, but i didn't. You did. And that's exactly why the fans of our writings are the true stars.
Okay, all of the comments are praising the episode and it's clear that they're all long term fans. Although I appreciate such support, I am here to give my unbiased feedback. I loved how the first episode was set up. I understand that there's a book that this series is based on, so there were some well written punchy lines throughout. I was pretty hyped to see that it was a series and I patiently waited for this episode. Only to be... Left with a bitter aftertaste. The premise of this episode is FANTASTIC. There's a dangerous entity that is hunting the division, but its power is proportional to the knowledge you have of it. There's a beautiful irony in the problem where the solution is quite the opposite of what the Director set out to do in the beginning of the episode. It was a great set up. But. Unfortunately, both the dialogues and the delivery lacked in comparison to the first episode. The actors seem to be narrating the lines without any rhythm or emotion. It's a very common problem that novice actors have - everything is, for a lack of a better term, rigid. Now, I understand the budget constraints, but you really should find someone who can consult you on execution part. That being said, I wish you all the best. Can't wait for ep 3!
Oh wow there’s even more on the way! Something to look forward to, especially once 3125 makes a proper appearance. I think Marion having her “oh shit” moment reading the SCP file in the inverted containment chamber will be something special to see, especially with how well she’s been casted in these.
Andrea, I have no clue what constraints and issues there were filming and budgeting for this episode, but make no mistake, this was an INCREDIBLE episode. Short, sweet, amazingly captivating, and the ending was so good too! You know, if you ever want to make more SCP Films, I'm always looking to do more with Demasqed. Just hit me up if you feel so inclined, I bet we could make something incredible. 🥰
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar Demasqued is another Tales series on the wiki, but since Henzoid is a screenwriter, it's written in a script format. Pretty dope story from what I've read
Your division is dedicated to keep info-ish thingy contained but only to find the no.1 approach to do it is to erase your division. By doing so, it was contained but left a hole for those after you to look at... then the whole event repeat itself...
I've noticed that both episodes seem to have a thing of doing things over and over again without reaching a goal. Like Sisyphus rolling the bolder up the hill. Like sure, in episode one the guy did find a way to fight off the SCP, but he didn't kill it, it'll come back again. And with this episode as well, using the device to wipe everyone's memories and constantly restarting the Anti-memetics division. I've got a feeling that this series will end with getting said bolder to the top of the hill, only for it to roll back down the other side.
wooo..you're getting somewhere there..but also it's why the actual threat of SCP-3125 is so powerful. How can you conquer an adversary whose existence remains unknown to you?
@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar This the first time I've got a creator like one of my comments. Feel like I've accomplished something. Also, this gives me something to think about.
Yeah the problem is that Netflix or other big corporations will almost certainly never take on SCP stuff because it's under creative commons. They can't buy, sell or otherwise own the rights to make SCP stuff and anything that they themselves make has to also be under Creative Commons as well. So they don't even own the exclusive rights to any new ideas they come up with for the verse. This is a great thing for the community because it means that anyone is allowed to build off of anyone else's work, and it still doesn't stop you from profiting off of your own work if you want to. But it's practically poison to Corporations. If Netflix makes an SCP show and it's successful, then Disney could come along and make another SCP show with even more money, and even use some of the ideas from the Netflix show without even having to ask them. And then Amazon could build off of the Disney show, and so on. I would love to see that, but Netflix, Disney, and Amazon would hate it. It'd be like if after Stranger Things first came out on Netflix, Disney was allowed to make "Stranger Things Season 2!" a year later
Again, thank you for bringing the Antimemetics Division Hub alive! But lots of valuable details are missing, and I don’t mean the CGI, which definitely is limited by the budget. There are other story elements and dialogue which could have been included: - El remembering Marion as Marion Hutchinson, not Wheeler; - Explaining the classification of mnestics and which class was used; - Marion realising something is off: alone without support (originally stranded on a boat); - Marion saving herself with Class B amnestics to counter the mnestics in her body, so as to erase her memory of the SCP; - Marion experiencing the disastrous effects of mixing amnestics and mnestics.
yes! there are lots of details missing, we know. Sadly some stuff got thrown out of the window because we run out of time that day and some stuff I avoided entirely. But thank you for your feedback. I love having the community watching and give me very constructive criticisms.
Ahh I see, I didn’t realize that Marion saved herself. Thought maybe the monster kept her alive so that she could remember it and spread information about it.
Im someone who notices things and am a critic as much as i am an optimist, regardless of if i wanted to notice things or not. In that sense, i could tell that this episode wasnt what you wanted or hoped it to be, just from watching it, before i even saw your comment about it. With that in mind, i hope you are not being hard on yourselves about this. I understand the urge to sweep it along and downplay it and just push past. I have no doubt the other ones are up to your own standards. That doesnt make this not still of a commendable quality. Without the details i have no idea what setbacks you had or how you went about fixing them, but the love and the effort shines through despite the rough patches. I hope that you can see how much of your efforts we can see. It can be really tough to bake a cake and have it not come out right. All that time and effort you put in can feel wasted. But to frost it and decorate it and serve it anyways is a noble thing to do, and at the end of the day? Its still cake. And cake is damn tasty.
Keep going! Although this episode is indeed very different from the source, and I feel a bit sad because it's my favorite Antimemetics story, it was good. I would've liked the mention of Bart Hughes, the subtle remembering that Marion is married and the "humans have been through this problem since forever" line. I'm really glad someone is making an adaptation in the first place though.
Thank you so much! Because I knew I wasn't going to make 55555 I avoided any mention of things that would have no context with that part. Stuff like Hughes, Adam, and so on.
I've been rereading the Antimemetics stories since shortly after qntm wrote them. They are awesome material for horror-themed rpgs and larp games (Cthulhu live action and other). I love seeing this series being made!
YES! I totally agree, you nailed it! I think so as well. They land themselves to that kinda of horror. Doesn't help that HPL is my fac narrative author haha
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar, HPL wrote good stuff. As he got a hundred or more writers involved with the Mythos Circle, so, too, is the modern SCP Foundation collaborative wiki writing community getting lots of modern writers into the material. I am excited to see some live action adaptations of the good stuff! And I count the Antimemetics Division stories as being some of the best conceptual stuff! :)
holy shit... i know i said i was waiting for episode two, but i wasnt expecting it to drop in the next WEEK after the first! so excited for this, im sharing with everyone i know who has interest in SCP content...
Another great episode!! Loved the concept of the Division loop :D The subtle details too of the Alzheimer's symptoms dissapearing with each mnestics dose ^^ Great acting again, loved to see O5-8 again, he just radiates cool haha XD Always with the peanuts too :') He's forever my headcanon O5-8 now haha
Also I can understand why you'd want us to know it's not your best episode but honestly, despite the sound being kind of funky (guessing it had to be redone in post-prod) I've got nothing bad to say about it ^^ Not everything is gonna be perfect everytime but you still delivered a compelling story (even if you had to cut down some things) Looking forward to the next one :D ❤
4:00 fun thing about weapons that need two keys to activate (nukes), the keyholes are placed far enough apart to prevent one person from being able to turn both at the same time.
you have no fucking idea how happy i am to see something like this. i love SCP and seeing people recognize it beyond the (in)famous series I is just something i love. and then you got this beautiful project. it's on a complete other level. please continue making these.
If Episode 1 was the first two Tales combined, then it stands to reason that in this Marion Wheeler will be introduced to the BBEG of this storyline...
@@joeb8935 What happened is that we had to compromise a lot because we ran out of light and time and we had to rush through a bunch of stuff. So it's the worst of the series but IMO ep3 and 4 are FIRE!
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicarBeing in the shade is kinda canon though... Its just the memorial’s shadow which we can perceive because they’re both on mnestics ;)
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar Don't be so hard on yourself! Even if it's not the best of the series, it still does an amazing job setting up the world-ending threat that is SCP-3125!
Translating a story from one medium to another (in this case, prose text to film) can be a daunting task. All artistic media have their pros and cons when telling a story. The trick is to accept this, accept that whatever medium you choose will have its drawbacks, and find a workaround. I'd like to bring up Locke & Key as an example. It was first a comic series published by IDW, and eventually got translated into a Netflix show. In the comic, the Head Key is described as acting in a specific way, a way that one could not faithfully translate from comic to television without losing 'something' in the process. Sure, what the Netflix show did is DIFFERENT than what the comic did, but the end result is still quite spectacular, and serves to inform the audience of the Head Key's purpose. You're telling the same story, just in a different way, and that's okay. Major props to you for feeling that ache of "I didn't get it QUITE right," because that shows how dedicated you are to how the story was originally told. There is definitely merit in that; but, I hope you remember that there are things you can do in film that you cannot in prose text. We, the audience, look forward to seeing how you adapt the story.
Reminds me of Utopia. The cinematography in The first episode were awesome. Great story telling starting with this too, the rest of SCP to follow till be a trip that’s for sure.
"If you know it exist, it knows you exist. The more you know about it, the more it knows about you." I swear, I remember seeing a creepypasta or some sort on facebook that had this line when I was a kid. And I forgot about it. You made me remember.
I want to say I really appreciate the casting. It might just be a coincidence, but the actress playing Marion is pretty much exactly how I imagined her
Episode 1 was an amazing adaptation of the finest work of the wiki. I wouldn’t even be surprised if Episode 2 were to surpass the first one. Wonderful work as always! ^^ keep it up
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar Really how so? The production on this was amazing! If this is your ‘worst’ (which I seriously doubt) then your ‘most decent episode’ must be a masterpiece!
@@MarcusRedfield-d5v it was a nightmare during filming. we ran out of time because I stuffed up something on location and a bunch of things weren't working properly so we cut down..and we changed the story a bit because we couldn't really get a boat haha
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar Oh nonetheless despite all that. I would still like to say, this was an amazing adaptation! It really shows all the hard work, you and your team have done! ^^
Andrea, thank you for your work. nevermind the criticue, it'll always be there :) as a fanbase we think you've done more than anyone else (exept the OG storyteller, no offence Andrea) to bring this story to life. the actors being so committed is the best thing, that's making me really proud for everyone who had put their hand to making this series. Also Tanya Schneider is killing it. I bet she will be a canon look for Marion Wheeler for the SCP franchise thank you all gyus (and girls) for your work ;)
Honestly for all the episode’s flaws I adore the brief creature reveal. From the design to the framing everything about it is unsettling and unnerving in exactly the right ways
Oh... my... goodness.... This has to be one of the best SCP short series, I've ever watched. Can't wait for the third episode, well done to all the team. You've fufilled many peoples hopes and dreams for a good short series.
Even though it sucks stuff had to be cut down on, I think the fact this still turned out pretty decent despite lots of issues coming up says a lot. I'm really looking forward to the next episodes!!
While I felt this was okay, I think maybe longer pauses while El remembered things would've been better. It felt rushed the way things played out. The dubbing feels off quite a bit though too, like it's not within the same space as Marion. If you're able to, I'd suggest maybe editing it and reuploading, if possible, just so it sounds better? Otherwise, good work!
I understand what you say but I'd prefer to move on haha, it is what it is and I knew this episode was our worse. Still, thank you for watching and for your feedback!
With respect to the amount of work that went into the physical and/or digital effects, not showing it might have been a better option, after all if you can see it it can see you, so showing it is dangerous, like that one 096 short that blocked out his face to keep the immersion up
Even if you say it's your worst episode, it's still liked by everyone. Your hard work shows and that's what matters. Thanks for showing us this and We can't wait for more!
This is beautiful. I remember those days when there will only a couple hundred scp’s, now I get to watch them come to life. Thanks my dude, you’ve made my night.
The first episode of this was fantastic, I loved how y'all did the antimemes. An incredible adaptation of the first two stories from qntm's work. I'm looking forward to this episode in a few days!!
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar GASP you better have done this well. Btw, there were a little discussions about you in the scp discord. Mixed reviews. But personally, you all did very well, given your budget. TINAD is very difficult to adapt into film after all.
@@strangelaw6384 you might end up being disappointed. This is my least favourite episode, I know there are problems and I didn't handle it correctly but it's still part of the story! On another note, the comments on the first episode are extremely positive. But I'm trying to be de-attached where possible. People don't understand what it means to make stuff like this and I'm not expecting them to care about the effort. But you can't just compare what we do with a Netflix show. They're just on two different levels. And obviously, you can't please everyone.
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar It really is difficult to strike a balance between accepting comments as future problems to tackle, and establishing enough boundaries to avoid creative paralysis. Most comments seem to just be the dialogues (about 055) that were skipped, which I'm perfectly fine. Grey should be the antimeme of the film. And using him/it to replace Marion's exposition is smart. (I watched all the Filmento videos.) " you might end up being disappointed." I will definitely still watch it. And you don't know if I might end up liking it! An audience's reaction is more often unpredictable than not. Looking forward to part 2!
@@strangelaw6384 however I do agree with some of the criticisms that were made. We did cut out a lot to make them fit together. Originally, they were separate and there was more in each, "talk about 55" and "introductory", but when we merged them, they got cut. And TBH, I'm glad I did. I would have run out of money if I had kept the original idea of having them separate. To give you an example, adding another 3/4 min of screen time to episode 1 would have cost me $3000/$4000. The other thing is that, when you go and do this, you know the story so well that you take stuff for granted, while the audience does not. This is obviously not an excuse, there is always a way to make it work and make it better in a creative way. Don't get me wrong, I truly appreciate the criticism from the community and people giving constructive feedback because they want the product to be better! I absolutely love that! Me and Dr. Sherman will make a BTS, breakdown series and talk through all these problems!
Underated channel, i really hope this show sparks off your youtube because this is just so well made and i wanna see more in the future. i do not recognise the bodies in the water
Honestly, telling as large a story as the source material for this episode hints at would take a whole feature film, or even a series. So having only enough left in this episode to hint at it works really well. There's enough to be frightening, but also be tantalizing. Inciting the desire to dig deeper, learn more about the source, while instilling the thought that doing so is inherently dangerous, even deadly.
playing around with these kind of ideas is probably on the same tier of coolness as something like time travel not possible in the real world, but creating a reality in which it is possible allows you to explore it very cool!
hey everyone, just a heads up for the antimemetics purists: this is probably our worst episode because we had tons of issues filming it on set and I had to make a lot of compromises from the original story, especially towards the end.
We know we left out a bunch of stuff (again) but we had to compromise a lot on this one.

@@chrisprunty5759 I see what you did there.
Someone needs to give these guys a real budget.
Netflix, plz
Gods, working for SCP is already the worst job ever, but the Antimemetics division is just a league of its own.
hahahahah no one remembers long enough to quit
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar fr
I think on average the memetics division is worst because half the stuff they need to contain turns out to be an info hazard and so you might have dozens of presumably empty containment units and someone comes to put away a new scp and unleashs an info hazard they couldn't know about
Imagine being an MTF assigned to this division, that must be the most confusing thing ever
The only worse fate has to be working for the Ethics Committee.
Tanya Schneider has nailed the character of Marion down to a T.
she's been amazing
It's a shame you don't have a bigger budget, the antimemetics division stuff deserves full series adaptation, but you are doing awesome with what you have, hope to see more from you!
Thank you! Even if this is not our best episode, we put lots of love into it!
Episode TLDR: The oppenforgetter made the forgetting bomb to kill australian spider
hahahahahahahaha
Weakest Australian spider, only deals mental damage and is defeated by some old guy with bad memory.
It's disturbing how accurate this is 🤯
To kill an Australian starfish*

Pistachio guy eating pistachios instead of his memory pills - for once it's a good idea

referring to 3125 as the Escapee is fun. conceptually fitting name and it kinda sounds like SCP, the letters are right there
yes it does!
That's how the original 3125 file is called.

@@Mr_Spaghetti Are you sure it's wise to remember?
I love the fact that she tried to shoot it with the empty gun. It means she was fighting back all the time while talking with doctor

@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar bang bang I hit the ground
I loved it. That little nod that marion "saw" something. And for me, the only explanation on why she "survives" is because she realized she had to forget and applied herself with amnestics that would trigger after certain time. She knew that something was wrong, so she left herself a way out, knowing that she could use her notebook to remember . But the monster came too fast, she was not able to write (just like in memorial), she knocked herself out (out of mind/out of sight like in memorial) and bam, she survived when the amnestics took effect. Of course, it happened, we just forgot about it. did it?
That's exactly what happened in the original written version, "Unforgettable, that's what you are".
In the book she also wonders why she went all alone to see Marness, and then she realizes she wasn't alone. She had brought a whole team of agents, who are now dead and erased from history.
"So, assuming the division was fully staffed before the event, maybe those empty roles are the people who died this time around. Maybe one of them activated the beacon. A commendable act, by someone now only known to exist because of that single act."
But that is difficult to convey in the adaptation without a narrator.
@@yondaime500 What book are you referencing? I'd love to read it
@@cl0ud5urfer "There is no antimemetics division"
@@cl0ud5urferThe original book is linked in the description. You can also find the text in the SCP wiki (which is also linked in the description).
The introduction of those short repeating moments as a “tell” for the audience that something is off was an inspired choice. I don’t remember that being in the source material but it works really well visually!
that was one of the only thing we added to give the idea of antimeme being present! thank you for noticing
I didn't catch that in this episode. Or maybe I just forgot?
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar I love it. I'm guessing the cat from the Matrix was an inspiration.
Marion's glance to her left at 5:43 was perfect
@ectoplasm12345 when he throws the 2 rocks into the pond, he actually only throws 1, and the 2 shots are looped, but cut not to look like a loop at first glance.
Should have started on episode 2 and convinced us all that episode 1 used to exist but due to an anomaly it was scrubbed from existence and then refused to elaborate
That would have been really cool, _especially_ if it had plot relevance. Reverse dramatic irony.
Robert Reynolds was the Sentry.
Could still be very easily done with an Episode 0.

yessss. cant wait!
And dread hahaha 😘
Are you playing Undertale at work again, Sherman?
Do not hit save. Do not hit save. Do not hit save.

Been greatly anticipating this.
EDIT: how is it so believable? SCP adaptations are almost always cheesy and campy, but this just plays it straight and is somehow still super legit.
The fact that it's _Antimemetics_ of all canons makes that even more astounding.
I still can't believe you made this.
Thank you! This episode is not our best but we still put lots of love into it!
In my opinion, it’s because it’s anti-memetics that it works.
The other departments would have to rely on heavy cgi, because they’re dealing with physical monsters, or with things that affect a large area. But this affects the mind, it affects memories. So it’s easier to reproduce if you are good at what you’re doing, which of course, the studio definitely is!
@@djmewtwo6981 I agree, the horror is best left in imagination because to each the horror is different. As under described as it is, the better! (I see some said that's why Lovecraft works cos he just, doesn't really tell you about the horror?
@@djmewtwo6981(...antimemetics is going to require VERY heavy CGI later on)
Its so interesting that no one anticipated a creature that grew stronger when more knowledge of it is dispersed. Tbh, I would have thought she'd be more careful, especially when acquiring memories as an antiemetic division member
I mean, he knew about it, and he's alive, so it must be safe, right? Also, it WAS part of a contract
@@lirehsa he did know about it, but look at the state he is in. The moment I heard about a memory bomb going off, there would be a lot more caution. But you're right, as many unassuring things as assuring things had occurred up till that point
People do anticipate it. They are the ones who either die or have to wipe their memories.
Memory is humanity's greatest treasure, and turning into a threat is a fascinating concept
the book and the story is amazing!
Memory is also our greatest curse, if you think about it. 🤔
I think he couldn’t believe his eyes.
nope!

If ten million fireflies...
Your presentation of an 05 is classic! I never imagined him as a pistachio chomping, Matrix-y Marlon Brando. I should've thought of that, but i didn't. You did. And that's exactly why the fans of our writings are the true stars.
"An O5 never looks like you imagine."
he loves pistachio and that's what matters
Okay, all of the comments are praising the episode and it's clear that they're all long term fans. Although I appreciate such support, I am here to give my unbiased feedback. I loved how the first episode was set up. I understand that there's a book that this series is based on, so there were some well written punchy lines throughout. I was pretty hyped to see that it was a series and I patiently waited for this episode. Only to be... Left with a bitter aftertaste. The premise of this episode is FANTASTIC. There's a dangerous entity that is hunting the division, but its power is proportional to the knowledge you have of it. There's a beautiful irony in the problem where the solution is quite the opposite of what the Director set out to do in the beginning of the episode. It was a great set up.
But. Unfortunately, both the dialogues and the delivery lacked in comparison to the first episode. The actors seem to be narrating the lines without any rhythm or emotion. It's a very common problem that novice actors have - everything is, for a lack of a better term, rigid. Now, I understand the budget constraints, but you really should find someone who can consult you on execution part.
That being said, I wish you all the best. Can't wait for ep 3!
it was pretty intolerable. it felt as if the actors spoke in a voiceover after they recorded the video. the acting itself was pretty mediocre too
The worst part was, she probably now forgot that Dr. El Marness ever existed.
And to think, that is going to be the least of her problems
Oh wow there’s even more on the way! Something to look forward to, especially once 3125 makes a proper appearance. I think Marion having her “oh shit” moment reading the SCP file in the inverted containment chamber will be something special to see, especially with how well she’s been casted in these.
We like ep3, was a fun shoot that one!
Andrea, I have no clue what constraints and issues there were filming and budgeting for this episode, but make no mistake, this was an INCREDIBLE episode. Short, sweet, amazingly captivating, and the ending was so good too!
You know, if you ever want to make more SCP Films, I'm always looking to do more with Demasqed. Just hit me up if you feel so inclined, I bet we could make something incredible. 🥰
Thank you! This episode is not our best but we still put lots of love into it! And I'll check out your channel!

I’m loving these episodes. Definitely gonna continue watching and commenting for the algorithm.
Thank you!
Your division is dedicated to keep info-ish thingy contained but only to find the no.1 approach to do it is to erase your division. By doing so, it was contained but left a hole for those after you to look at... then the whole event repeat itself...
I have no recollection that this was in the works, but I really enjoyed it.
Thank you!
Dammit, you forgot to take your class-w antimemetics prescription! :D
No recollection...
Have you taken your mnestics?
Marion looks like a grown up Jesse Faden from the Control. Thats awesome.
hahahah THE DIRECTOR!
She honestly gives me some serious River Song vibes: Bold, brave, cheeky but compassionate. The actress even reminds me of Alex Kingston a tiny bit.
I've noticed that both episodes seem to have a thing of doing things over and over again without reaching a goal. Like Sisyphus rolling the bolder up the hill. Like sure, in episode one the guy did find a way to fight off the SCP, but he didn't kill it, it'll come back again. And with this episode as well, using the device to wipe everyone's memories and constantly restarting the Anti-memetics division. I've got a feeling that this series will end with getting said bolder to the top of the hill, only for it to roll back down the other side.
wooo..you're getting somewhere there..but also it's why the actual threat of SCP-3125 is so powerful. How can you conquer an adversary whose existence remains unknown to you?
@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar This the first time I've got a creator like one of my comments. Feel like I've accomplished something. Also, this gives me something to think about.
@@chrism.7763 if you can, buy the qntm's book of the same name. It's very beautifully written and it's just $5 kindle version.
Guys, you seriously deserve a Netflix show
We wish! But I prefer doing stuff for the SCP community!
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar as long as you enjoy it, we enjoy it
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicarI love you for this take. Keep up the great work do not stop man you and your team are artists!
Yeah the problem is that Netflix or other big corporations will almost certainly never take on SCP stuff because it's under creative commons. They can't buy, sell or otherwise own the rights to make SCP stuff and anything that they themselves make has to also be under Creative Commons as well. So they don't even own the exclusive rights to any new ideas they come up with for the verse.
This is a great thing for the community because it means that anyone is allowed to build off of anyone else's work, and it still doesn't stop you from profiting off of your own work if you want to. But it's practically poison to Corporations. If Netflix makes an SCP show and it's successful, then Disney could come along and make another SCP show with even more money, and even use some of the ideas from the Netflix show without even having to ask them. And then Amazon could build off of the Disney show, and so on. I would love to see that, but Netflix, Disney, and Amazon would hate it.
It'd be like if after Stranger Things first came out on Netflix, Disney was allowed to make "Stranger Things Season 2!" a year later
Netflix and Amazon should be arm wrestling to get this series. :)
Again, thank you for bringing the Antimemetics Division Hub alive! But lots of valuable details are missing, and I don’t mean the CGI, which definitely is limited by the budget. There are other story elements and dialogue which could have been included:
- El remembering Marion as Marion Hutchinson, not Wheeler;
- Explaining the classification of mnestics and which class was used;
- Marion realising something is off: alone without support (originally stranded on a boat);
- Marion saving herself with Class B amnestics to counter the mnestics in her body, so as to erase her memory of the SCP;
- Marion experiencing the disastrous effects of mixing amnestics and mnestics.
yes! there are lots of details missing, we know. Sadly some stuff got thrown out of the window because we run out of time that day and some stuff I avoided entirely. But thank you for your feedback. I love having the community watching and give me very constructive criticisms.
Ahh I see, I didn’t realize that Marion saved herself. Thought maybe the monster kept her alive so that she could remember it and spread information about it.
Oh so, she was barely alive not because she was attacked but because the mnestics mixed with amnestics?
They couldn't really adapt the x class directly bc the de aging would be super tough.
@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar Thank you for your work! I love it nonetheless! I hope I can see the whole series come into light!

HAHAHAHAHA I love this comments hahah
SCP 3125 is just on another level.
Fighting an enemy who win as soon as you known about it is a very original concept.
pretty cool concept
Im someone who notices things and am a critic as much as i am an optimist, regardless of if i wanted to notice things or not.
In that sense, i could tell that this episode wasnt what you wanted or hoped it to be, just from watching it, before i even saw your comment about it.
With that in mind, i hope you are not being hard on yourselves about this. I understand the urge to sweep it along and downplay it and just push past. I have no doubt the other ones are up to your own standards.
That doesnt make this not still of a commendable quality. Without the details i have no idea what setbacks you had or how you went about fixing them, but the love and the effort shines through despite the rough patches. I hope that you can see how much of your efforts we can see.
It can be really tough to bake a cake and have it not come out right. All that time and effort you put in can feel wasted. But to frost it and decorate it and serve it anyways is a noble thing to do, and at the end of the day?
Its still cake. And cake is damn tasty.
Dude, thank you! This means a lot
Keep going! Although this episode is indeed very different from the source, and I feel a bit sad because it's my favorite Antimemetics story, it was good. I would've liked the mention of Bart Hughes, the subtle remembering that Marion is married and the "humans have been through this problem since forever" line.
I'm really glad someone is making an adaptation in the first place though.
Thank you so much! Because I knew I wasn't going to make 55555 I avoided any mention of things that would have no context with that part. Stuff like Hughes, Adam, and so on.

Translating a story from one medium to another (in this case, prose text to film) can be a daunting task. All artistic media have their pros and cons when telling a story. The trick is to accept this, accept that whatever medium you choose will have its drawbacks, and find a workaround.
I'd like to bring up Locke & Key as an example. It was first a comic series published by IDW, and eventually got translated into a Netflix show. In the comic, the Head Key is described as acting in a specific way, a way that one could not faithfully translate from comic to television without losing 'something' in the process. Sure, what the Netflix show did is DIFFERENT than what the comic did, but the end result is still quite spectacular, and serves to inform the audience of the Head Key's purpose.
You're telling the same story, just in a different way, and that's okay. Major props to you for feeling that ache of "I didn't get it QUITE right," because that shows how dedicated you are to how the story was originally told. There is definitely merit in that; but, I hope you remember that there are things you can do in film that you cannot in prose text. We, the audience, look forward to seeing how you adapt the story.
Yeah! The most difficult thing is adapting the thinking process of the characters. That was hard.
Reminds me of Utopia. The cinematography in The first episode were awesome. Great story telling starting with this too, the rest of SCP to follow till be a trip that’s for sure.
Thank you so much! We put a lot of work and love into it!

While I felt this was okay, I think maybe longer pauses while El remembered things would've been better. It felt rushed the way things played out.

Otherwise, good work!

With respect to the amount of work that went into the physical and/or digital effects, not showing it might have been a better option, after all if you can see it it can see you, so showing it is dangerous, like that one 096 short that blocked out his face to keep the immersion up

@@AndreaJoshuaAsnicar It really is difficult to strike a balance between accepting comments as future problems to tackle, and establishing enough boundaries to avoid creative paralysis.
Most comments seem to just be the dialogues (about 055) that were skipped, which I'm perfectly fine. Grey should be the antimeme of the film. And using him/it to replace Marion's exposition is smart. (I watched all the Filmento videos.)
" you might end up being disappointed." I will definitely still watch it. And you don't know if I might end up liking it! An audience's reaction is more often unpredictable than not.

Originally, they were separate and there was more in each, "talk about 55" and "introductory", but when we merged them, they got cut.
And TBH, I'm glad I did. I would have run out of money if I had kept the original idea of having them separate. To give you an example, adding another 3/4 min of screen time to episode 1 would have cost me $3000/$4000.
The other thing is that, when you go and do this, you know the story so well that you take stuff for granted, while the audience does not.
This is obviously not an excuse, there is always a way to make it work and make it better in a creative way.
Don't get me wrong, I truly appreciate the criticism from the community and people giving constructive feedback because they want the product to be better! I absolutely love that!
Me and Dr. Sherman will make a BTS, breakdown series and talk through all these problems!
Labor of love! New form of entertainment is on the rise - this and Helldivers 2 are the important change of how we look at entertainment.
Thank you! Even if this wasn't our best episode we still put a lot of love into it!
Underated channel, i really hope this show sparks off your youtube because this is just so well made and i wanna see more in the future.
i do not recognise the bodies in the water
you know...you know..
Marion Wheeler really reminds me of Milner from the Utopia UK series. The actress really nailed the ruthless, smiling agent vibe
Tanya is great!
Can’t wait honestly
Me too! I hope people liked this one as well!
The first ep was spectacular and based off the one image we can see I think this one will be too
Honestly, telling as large a story as the source material for this episode hints at would take a whole feature film, or even a series. So having only enough left in this episode to hint at it works really well. There's enough to be frightening, but also be tantalizing. Inciting the desire to dig deeper, learn more about the source, while instilling the thought that doing so is inherently dangerous, even deadly.
Thank you! this episode was hard
I don't remember seeing a Part One, why start on Part Two?
Maybe you already watched part 3?
playing around with these kind of ideas is probably on the same tier of coolness as something like time travel
not possible in the real world, but creating a reality in which it is possible allows you to explore it
very cool!
yeah it's very cool!
