I just found this channel through the Ryan Trahan video, and OH MY GOD, THIS CHANNEL IS SO FREAKING UNDERRATED!! I'm so glad you guys are finally blowing up, because these short films are absolutely amazing.

[@Blizar760]

Same

[@GelBlasterMayhem]

Yeah same lol, they r so good

[@DemonPig666]

Same and I agree. I'm so glad the algorithm brought me here.

[@shihtzusandtoys]

I kinda wish that people didn't only become famous because of connections/certain generas, because these original films are so good. Not saying the Ryan and airrack ones are bad- they're good too- I guess I just wish the RUclips algorithm could recommend the whole journey. Not just key words in titles or descriptions. (such as names of celebrities.)

[@superduperjoi6800]

Saame😂

[@shenzixirgs8152]

Idea: RUclipsr pretends to start a cult, but during a bonfire ceremony the fire goes out of control and burns down houses, killing 2 people. The RUclipsr then goes on the run and changes his name multiple times, each time making more horrible videos till he loses everything. Then he gets into a gunfight with the police he somehow believes to be staged for content, but ends up critically wounded.

[@Hugs_is_where_its_at]

That’s a.. lot. I love it

[@teahale]

I love the way you two edit. There’s so much detail. The sound, the visuals…everything.

[@kilobiten]

not only is the actual movie insanely good, the process and way they narrate the editing process is so nice to watch. editing the editing kinda breaks my brain. i usually find myself skipping in videos, but ive never skipped in one of your videos. its like mark rober if ykwim. its the cure for short attention span

[@Smiththeinspiringanimator]

That actually sounds like a very interesting idea for a series and I feel like we really need to talk about this issue here on RUclips.

[@malandarn]
