Yo guys, idk if it's just me but this whole backrooms thing and the company and even the videos the way that they are made seems oddly familiar to the game Control. Just saying.

CONGRATS ON GETTING A MOVIE DEAL WITH A24 STUDIOS AT JUST 17 YEARS OLD. I CANT BELIEVE YOU'RE ADAPTING THIS SERIES INTO A FULL THEATRICAL MOVIE. SO HAPPY FOR YOU!
Yo guys, idk if it's just me but this whole backrooms thing and the company and even the videos the way that they are made seems oddly familiar to the game Control. Just saying.
The amount of horror I felt hearing "That is done and there is nothing more to be extracted" when they were talking about Peters death and how the next image was of a syringe, that generally made my heart drop. Generally feels like he was killed off because he was too much of a risk.
Yes i think so because he know alot about them and could be a pottentail risk for them thats why they killed him and told everyone that it was and accident 🫡 thats how govenment hids trueth from people 💯🙌🙃 cause i know what am talking about and am not making any ilusion about anything 💯🙌🫡🙃
The fact that he announced that "The Backrooms" are finally going to get a film, shows how good this concept was, and how good he managed to develop it, in such a incredible manner. Congrats Kane!
@wocky soooo? It’s his I don’t get your point. You can still enjoy the og, his backrooms is just more popular through know fairly of his own, grow a brain
The professionalism of the dialogue is what really draws me in. The way the speaker phrases things is very businesslike, doesn't mix metaphors or misuse words, and has perfect sentence structure. Feels so real! (EDIT: Spelling, ironically)
@Jordy How can a person write something that aligns with your pop cultural understanding of how that thing would sound? Probably pretty easily, considering you both live in and consume the same culture.

I slowed the ending down, and there's CCTV footage of a man running by a building, another of the man running across a city street. Peter isn't dead...I'm not 100%, but it looks like he got away.

@NeonFroot how is the very real biological process of transitioning from a child to an adult "artificial"? Becoming an adult isn't flicking a light switch, adolescence and puberty are several years long and represent the biggest physical and mental changes humans go through. I'd avoid throwing around the idea that 13 year olds are the same as adults.
"People who understood this" Ah yes, like Rick and Morty understanders, kids who enjoy this modern day homage to Twilight Zone are misunderstood intellectuals.
The idea of being driven insane not by the Complex itself but by the self preservation efforts of Async after faking a man's death was beautifully written. I can't get enough of this series.
I can’t say I blame Async for having to take careful time to “undo” the situation as far as faking Tench’s death. They’re funded by the government and when working in classified programs, they would likely cover it up as well. You can’t really say “he just disappeared” without evidence of it. It’s sucks, but I’m not convinced they’re wholly evil. Just an unprecedented situation and trying to do the best they could. EDIT: I could also be totally wrong, though that’s my interpretation of it so far.
Shout out to the voice actor!! This whole episode was fantastic, and I just really love how authentic the VA delivers everything. Great job, huge props!
Now that I think about it, things really aren't looking up for Marvin. He's been participating in a project with some sort of "otherworldly" spaces, which in itself isn't that bad. But then, his friend disappeared in the completely unknown circumstances, so eventually he had to come to terms with Peter's potential death. Next, he ended up facing some hellish entity and barely got away with his life. Then, on top of that, he suddenly met his "undead" friend, only to be held at gunpoint by him, witness how he shoots his teammate, and hear the next day that now Peter *really* was dead. I'm afraid that, after all that, something similar might happen to Marv. Either he'll say hasta la vista to A-Sync or he'll go bonkers too, unless he's really got some nerves of steel, lmao
Marvin has balls of steel, he's gonna stay. I mean he's propably gonna go bonkers like Peter but im pretty sure he's gonna stay for a few more tapes, then he'll dip out.
I think Marvin will be alright. That guy managed to keep his composure while being stuck in a hole in the same room as an other-dimensional bacteria monster! He's not going anywhere.
@Thaddeus TV Well, that's what the camera recorded, but I think the way the scene played out strongly suggests that the being started chasing Marv once he entered its area. Besides, no matter what actually may have happened, that's how it looked like from his POV
This is what the backrooms are all about. Not surviving buggy wuggy, talking Tom and those children’s characters. These videos that generally give you a scare. Nice work Kane Pixels
I have to say, I'm more disturbed by the human insanity than the preternatural isolation of The Backrooms... I mean, imagine wandering away, and becoming lost, and when you come back... everyone had thought you were dead. The Backrooms is no place for humans to live in. Amazing work, Kane.
Yo guys, idk if it's just me but this whole backrooms thing and the company and even the videos the way that they are made seems oddly familiar to the game Control. Just saying.
It's clear that the person was talking to an audience since the beginning, so making them show some reaction is something crucial. An actual example of attention to detail can be found in the second found footage: in the multi store part, you can hear somebody crying/moaning far away in the background. Almost nobody seems to have noticed it, yet there it is.
@Usuario Extra that's not what I meant and you know it. I'm talking about sound design. Kane didn't NEED to put those little sounds in there, but he did anyway.
The imagery of the last minute is beautiful. The words, “There is nothing more to extract.” As the sun falls behind the horizon, plunging the world into darkness. Followed by flashing security camera images of a man running down city street. It could be expanded on for sure. But nothing compares to the psychological horror that this guy still thinks he’s in the back rooms, and on some level always will.
What I like about your Backrooms series is that the people at A-Sync are also trying to figure out what’s going on along with us, the viewers (even if we’re given all the events out of order). It’s not like FNAF where it’s all up to the fans to solve everything and find/piece together every detail all on their own. A-Sync is just as confused as us for how Peter somehow jumped through time. good job Kane! Thank you for creating a backrooms series that’s actually pretty nice to follow and well made without it being like “oooOOOOOO scary liminal space with a VHS filter and a monster that was poorly rendered in blender resulting in yet another chase sequence oh no!!1!11!”
As a blender user, I'm really shocked to see that the scene in kane pixel's video is becoming more and more realistic now. The character animation is really natural and smooth and I definitely know how hard it is to make it. That's one of the reasons why I admire you so much. Keep going and make more masterpiece!
Its a true miracle for both Kane's writing and the voice actor that I can witness to what would normally be a "here's what the author intended" scene, get a detailed breakdown of the chain of events, and think "I believe you, but I don't believe your message". Felt like the person giving the presentation in-universe was effectively reading from a curated script.
Unity ⸜⁄ that's where your wrong clearly don't put the effort he does to make the videos have quality and to tell a story in which keeps the user engaged
Considering how closely each clip correlated with the "cover story", it's interesting that those doors are shown at 10:18 along with the phrase "alternate threshold". This is also the first time that I'm seeing light that isn't a reflection, coming through those windows.
Kane made the chase scene so much better by making the slight delays in the security camera, really shows this kid understands more about artificial cinematography than most big budget companies
I love what kane has made so far but let's tone it down a smidge. All these people saying stuff like "kane is better than ever director that has ever existed!!" Is way too much. Calm it down.
Holy shit congrats Kane Pixels. Just saw ur making the Backrooms film with A24. I remember seeing the first backrooms video you uploaded and being blown away. So excited to see what you do with the movie and I'll be in theaters day 1
Like everyone else said, this was phenomenal. The way the speaker began his like, 15th paragraph and you could hair chairs creaking under people changing positions. The “shiiiit…” and the woman murmuring after learning of Peter’s death. How professional the speaker was, and how absolute sus peter’s “death” was. The phone at the end. The camera footages. All of it, perfection.
Came back to this channel after 6 months to watch the rest of the Backrooms footage and I just wanted to say congratulations for getting the opportunity to produce and direct a feature length film with A24. I just hope Roberto Patino doesn’t butcher the storyline
This kid destined for an Oscar. I’m 35 and have never accomplished anything so spectacular. I’m so convinced it’s real, that’s how good he has done. We are lucky to be able to be here to see such artistic ability. Thank you Kane
@Charlie9inesONYT by the true creator he means the person who came up with the idea (they took and i assume edited a photo to look out of this world) of the backrooms, this guy is just making the most talented series based upon it, i also doubt its juan de dios. you would be more likely to find the original owner on the wikidot or fandom
When this series is finally done, I really hope it gets released on some kind of Blu-ray. This is truly one of the greatest indie horror projects I've ever seen. If you told me this was made by a professional studio, I would believe it wholeheartedly, because everything from the acting to the visuals to the cinematography is absolutely fantastic. This is an amazing piece of work, and I'm so happy to see it develop.
Forget bluray! If skinamarink is able to be released in theaters off fan craze, this could and it would make for a neat little movie theater experience!
The only weak point, and hopefully this comes across as constructive, is the animation of people. I'm no expert so I can't explain myself well but sometimes the moving people look a bit jelly
I love how this narration binds all the previous episodes together in a comprehensible one, Kane you are not only a special fx god you are also a good story teller, keep it up!!
Man your work is fantastic - just found and binged every video you've got, including AoT. Congrats on the A24 deal! Your filmmaking, aesthetics and sound design are intensely reminiscent of Panos Cosmatos (and Beyond The Black Rainbow particularly). Can't wait to see what you'll create in the future.
I just wanted to say- I continue to be amazed at the narrative that you've put together based on a prompt that consisted of one photograph and a brief bit of text. It's become something pretty damn compelling- and in a time where the found-footage genre has been beaten half to death, your skills managed to not only revive it, but make us look at it as though we're seeing it for the first time. This tale has pretty strong legs, and I can't wait to see where you run with it.
Props to Kane for not taking the route of changing up the lore to throw off his audience. He's actually confirming our theories and even adding context in some areas. Great video as always!
@Pedro Gili was gonna fuckin say, i even remember scott cawthon tweeting shit after game theory episodes like “oh good job, but yOu MIsSeD soMEtHiNg” for the sake of twisting the lore into a damn pretzel. no wonder the fnaf fanbase did the lore justice better than _the creator of the games_ ever could
Tbh I thought Kane will be just another talented people who lost their way because of fame and fortune. Looking his series up until now, he still got the passion for the work and never strayed from his vision. I'm looking forward to this, congratulations for the project and more success to come.
Well, it's not far down to paradise At least it's not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away And find tranquility Oh, the canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see, believe me It's not far to never never land No reason to pretend And if the wind is right you can find the joy Of innocence again Oh, the canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see, believe me Sailing Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me Soon I will be free Fantasy It gets the best of me When I'm sailing All caught up in the reverie Every word is a symphony Won't you believe me? Sailing Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free Well, it's not far back to sanity At least it's not for me And if the wind is right you can sail away And find serenity Oh, the canvas can do miracles Just you wait and see, really, believe me Sailing Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be Just a dream and the wind to carry me And soon I will be free
@PurpleKittyKelly it’s “sailing” by Christopher cross I don’t know what the relevance is, but I just posted the lyrics for sleuths to decipher a meaning
I LOVE the fact that the wording, phrasing and the almost soothing voice had me believing everything, and started me down the path of thinking ASync was "legit"... Right up until being informed that Peter simply fell and hit his head on a rock - which just has a foul smell of coverup. And that final sentence is structured and also said in a way that ever so subtly feels almost threatening. That he is and was dead - hinting at a "and don't you dare challenge this statement or you too will find yourself falling onto a rock!". I am really looking forward to see what you will accomplish with a professional studio backing you!
It didn't solve anything; it was just a recap of what we already knew. plus it is beyond obvious the narrator is lying, since it is the company covering for their mistakes and lying to their team. For instance, it is obvious Peter didn't die from falling and hitting his head on a rock; either the security team outright killed him (as was ordered), or they captured him and are secretly using him for experiments I guess that is a cliffhanger, but it literally doesn't solve anything
This drew me in more knowing that it’s not just about monsters and that there’s more to be know of the unknown and what I just saw in this video was not what I was expecting and I loved it
This was perfect closure to Peter (yes, the detail about him dying from the stumble may be a cover-up). It shows that Async was methodical and cautious while studying the time-warp and trying to assimilate Peter, all while keeping the project running as smoothly as practical. Async isn't some exaggerated cartoon-villain shadow organization that 'only cares about the money, power and higher-ups'. Major props for writing a compelling monologue - as others have said, it felt like I was in a real meeting.
@PurpleKittyKelly No.. lol He made it out, and escaped their clutches all together. Enough so that he's in an other undisclosed location, calling home incessantly. They're lying, by saying they shot him up and about not seeing monsters in the construct. Everything is a lie. Small truths in-between.
Had another backroom type dream last night, and I don't even follow the backroom anthology, but had to come here to marvel how these shorts have really tapped into the human psyche
congrats on getting the feature with a24!!! seriously!! i love their horror films and your backrooms horror SO MUCH and cant wait to see what you do!! so deserved seriously
When I first heard about the backrooms I thought it was some lie. But I looked it up and saw how awesome Kane Pixels' first video was was instantly amazed by the idea of clipping through reality to the backrooms.
Kane was so smart here. Instead of animating the full movements of a human, which is something considerably hard to make convincing, he took advantage of the way old security cameras captured images, so he only had to animate certain poses without much transition between. Genius move.
@mothchu That also doesn't mean you need to realistically animate the entire model. You can simply pose it then move the entire model / root back & forth, which is more than enough to create motion blur. It literally takes 1 minute + render time to do it. Hell, you don't even need to move the model at all... You can simply just pose the model, render frame, add motion blur effects to the model with another software, since it's all frame by frame it also takes like 2-3 minutes to do it. You can even do it with a cheap ass free software like PhotoScape. This is one person doing / managing everything. What makes him great is that he is able to work his way around to beat the limitations and creates an immersive story by putting the pieces together. Plus he has a good taste in a lot of things.
I simply cannot wait for the movie! I hope A24 gives you complete creative control. Congrats on that opportunity! I cannot wait to see it. Hopefully it will be in theaters.
what i love about a good horror is being able to sort of put the pieces together before its revealed and really backrooms does it just right, riiiiiiight before the reveal, you can suddenly reflect on all the info given to you in previous videos and go, oh wait a lot of this was told or hinted at and its incredible!! good lukc and godspeed on future endeavours
''He hit his head...really!' Uh-huh.' I'm so impressed with the dialog (and delivery.) When I was writing, even in my early 20's, my dialog would either have been too rigid and technical, or too chummy. Your monologue hits the tone of professionalism, coworker familiarity (we're all family here) and regret perfectly. I felt like I was at that meeting. Well done, sir. Whether it was you or someone else who did the voice acting- nail on the head delivery.
Rewatching this, the presenter already gave the company or its rogue security team away. Sensory deprivation? Was he in solitary confinement? In a room lacking in features? Vsauce was already losing it when he tried it himself for 3 days. They were grossly negligent in holding Tench for 2 weeks in such a condition or they really were messing with him. Edit: nvm, photo of the holding room that looks bland as heck Edit2: Rewatching MatPat react to Reunion, he pointed out Peter would be dangerously lacking in sustenance (food, water) if he really was in the complex for 2 weeks. I've done a week and a half of no food, but gosh darn did I need a lot of water. So now I'm gonna give a +1 to the presenter's credibility that Peter really was kept in a holding room that was really lacking in features, which is basically mind torture (see Vsauce's Isolation from Mind Field). The end part of the presentation though, still incredi-sus.
Well done, it explains Peter's story very well especially the part when he goes 2 months in the future, (even tho his death was probably a cover), it was a sad story.
Now this is how it's done, this whole mini-series made by a 17 year old individual that created an experimental Portal and Attack on Titan sequences to this wonderful Backroom said series where we gone from Found Footage to a Documentary style. No Faze, Optic, Team 10 or other Million Sub 'Family Friendly' channel go overacting, editing, stunts or other dumb things shoving to our faces to rack up views. Hearing about you getting a feature length movie brings smile and joy to my face, you've earn this recognition and to inspire few good Clip-Sharers that done a horror-styled video besides bad ones. Kane Pixels, thank you for everything.
This is my all-time favorite youtube series. It's so good I struggle so much with only being able to watch 15 mins of it on average per upload, I've been so spoiled with full seasons LOL, incredible work
I can't believe he survived the backrooms, warped forward in time, and escaped a science complex only to die to a rock. I highly doubt he died to a rock
You don't see it? This is the cover story, initially they planned to reverse the deceased status, it didn't work. So they let him escape and then "die" to a rock. In reality he was let go and ran somewhere to live his life as another person . But as it stands Tench is officially going to remain dead. If they really wanted to stop him there were so many opportunities, they could've shut down the lift, apprehended him at the surface level. I'm pretty sure there's more security on the surface level, and more locked doors. And after what he did do you really think some random researcher would've managed to get the shotgun back from him? Not likely. He probably dropped it off to avoid suspicion once he came upto the surface.
Absolutely amazing. The tone and narrative of this one was fantastic. Absolutely heartbreaking. Or was it just another cover up? Also, the phone call at the end, I half expected (FNAF) 'He... Hello, Hello?'
I also really like how the characters turn around at the gunshot in the beginning. People don't turn or move realistically in most films now - but they really seem to here. Can't tell if it's because they're hand animated or what?
7:16 An underrated moment in the video. imagine being in this backrooms universe and being told that someone had practically time traveled into the future. for them that is now a reality that the employees have to live with, a horror that they cannot fully process
@Cat Poke The stuff you're saying is fascinating! I'd love to hang out with you and just listen to you talk about stuff (and discuss this amazing series.) I'm captivated by this whole idea, the creepiness of it.
@nikidino8 Considering it's the backrooms, I doubt it follows the same laws of physics. I doubt velocity or gravity were involved in the dilation we see.
The interesting thing is that time traveling into the future is actually possible in our universe. It happens to everyone every second that they live. Now, sounds like I'm making a cop-out, right? "Yeah, but that's not what we mean by time travel!" Well luckily for you, the same mechanism that brings us forward in day-to-day life can be sped up. Well, technically time SLOWS DOWN for certain objects, but that causes the less slowed down time for objects around them to seem to speed up. Thanks to relativity, people in certain places will progress through time faster or slower than others, and in certain extreme parts of the universe- such as near a black hole- time slows down for whatever's near it to such an extreme degree that the rest of the universe appears to speed up to ABSURD speeds. Spend a second near a supermassive black hole, and the whole universe will be different than it was before you got close. If you managed to leave the black hole, you would have leapt forward in time an unimaginable amount of years. This is not science fiction, mind you. This is real life and there are objects out there experiencing this very scenario. Maybe even some living creatures, but... well... as soon as they get that close to a black hole, they're not living anymore. And I'm not sure if it's possible for any organisms to travel far enough to reach a supermassive black hole. This is also not talking about how speed impacts time, either. Or the difference between being on Earth versus in space. It's crazy stuff. Forward time travel is real and you're doing it all the time to minor degrees. So, yeah. It would be pretty crazy to be told he time traveled, but not quite as crazy as you'd think.
You have attracted a huge audience after months in a world that is both fascinating and disturbing, just like the unpredictability of life and our witnessing certain things and not others. In short, it is a challenge that is as interesting as it is true. I hope Netflix brings such an original and successful idea to the big screen.
Kane, I saw the news release on Deadline today about you!! Couldn't be happier for you, man!!! Big names courting you, especially Wan's Atomic Monster - wow!! Well deserved congrats young man, well deserved. I wish you all the success in the world, your hard work has gotten proper notice - stay the course, keep your focus, ignore the haters, stay clean and all that good stuff!
I am pretty sure Peter actually managed to escape the facility and trying to reach its family. I like the way A-Sync is trying to obscure these events even to their employers
@Daniil Films I do believe Peter is likely dead but, he has similar symptoms to Paranoid Schizophrenia as explained in the video. A normal human will not just trust a random guy who sounds batshit insane talking about a alternate dimension.
@PurpleKittyKelly If Peter was alive Async would’ve been DONE, Or at the very least Async wouldn’t take time to make another cover story if he is still alive
@Daniil Films He's alive. That was him in the glitch. They showed video of him being found, escaping but then not him running over the hill?And they told the employees to pretty much hush about it. They believed he was dead before, just know that he's STILL gone. All lies. I mean, the title is DAMAGE CONTROL, for cryin out loud.
Excellently made!! I have a feeling that Peter is still alive somehow and that is who is calling at the end. It’s just something so uneasy about how the whole situation was handled. IMO I am more enticed by this series than anything currently on Tv lol
I am blown away. I can't wait for the movie! And oh I'm betting that was Tench on the phone. I don't believe the story of his death for a second! This story just keeps getting better and better! So many threads to follow! Kane, you are a genuine wunderkind, and I've been hooked with gleaming anticipation! This is so good. I haven't been this excited about the bleeding edge of a story since LOST!
I am blown away. I smashed this series out, I ignored messages and calls to keep watching. It was fucking incredible and visually insane. Don't let Netflix or Disney+ touch it. Please don't. This was a beast of a masterpiece.
The fact that these guys and Rackaracka are starting their careers on Clip-Share gives me hope for me and my friend. It's people like these guys that give me hope for my future as a writer and for that i thank them I hope they succeed in their future endeavors.
Is it bad that I keep repeating the video for the amazing soundtrack? There's a lot of things to say about this amazing master piece but I absolutely love the music. Just me?
There's a link in the description to a motion-capture suit, so Kane has made enough money from this series to really start using the same tech that the professional game and movie industry are using! It's so freaking cool! Granted, motion capture still usually requires some polishing, so this is by no means taking the easy route. I'm really happy that Kane has made enough money to focus so much on this series as what seems like a part time job/hobby/passion. While the overlayed effects of the low-quality camera and greyscale color palette (at times) makes slight imperfections in animation blend in, it's still no easy task to do what him and his team of creators are doing. Can't wait to see where this goes! Edit: Maybe he was sponsored by Rokoko? If so, that's freaking awesome.
@Yesica1993 While that is your choice, and a quite respectable one at that, ads never make anywhere near in revenue as sponsorship deals for the creator.
@Exil Desert If I start seeing commercials on this channel, I'm done. It's the same thing, every time. You find a great channel. It's under the radar. They keep putting out great stuff. They do it because they love it. But because they're so good, the channel gets big. Next thing you know, every episode is a freaking ad / commercial for something. I was patient for many, many years as I've watched channels on Clip-Share. I'm burned out.
I've heard him interviewed on a couple podcasts fairly recently and he hadn't mentioned any sponsorships, but the question may not have been asked, or the subject wasn't raised- it seemed to me at the time he was pretty much working solo. But I could be wrong.
I thought it looked more realistic when Peter skidded to a stop when running into the Threshold base, then later when the one Security officer did a 180 to go down the correct hallway.
I love this. That speech sounded super professional and Maaaaan if I worked at Async and was in the room during the meeting @12:05 I would've mentally called bullshit unless there was a body and adequate proof of said "knock head on rock dead" XD. That seemed too "lucky" in the case of Async. Who knows what kind of information would get out had he of succeeded in his escape from the premises. The phone on the wall at the end also gives the "or did he?" vibe as well. Again, love it. 👏
I watched this video first not realizing the backrooms, was a series of videos, and all I can say is it worked well, and didn't ruin anything for me starting with this one, and then realizing there was a playlist, and watching from the start. My experience ended up being more of starting with seeing their damage control efforts, and me being confused what's going on, and then being shown everything that leads up to this video. So hey even when watching outta order the series works great haha Is this the ending, or will there be more?
Bro, I’m so happy and proud to hear about your A24 deal. ‘Well deserved’ is putting it lightly, this shit was inevitable. Best of luck, although I doubt you’ll need it 🎉🎊🍾🥳
I identify with this horror genre because everything that was once familiar now seems strange and menacing. Half my brain is trying to reassure me with the sensory familiarity but the other half is also registering an unsettling dissonance. That fine line between that point when the air goes from pleasing cool to uncomfortably wet...
This is massive for the lore. Kane is confirming things, he's adding some new stuff, and I feel like everything can be extracted from this. Again, well done Kane, you're a genius
All this was already confirmed in the Presentation video, there's nothing massive here. I think Kane made this video just to keep us entertained while he works on more interesting stuff.
@pyropulse and? if you've ever listened to some of matpat's old fnaf theories, you can learn just how important it is for creators to confirm the suspicions of their consumers. That's what this video is doing and it's doing it in a tasteful way: confirming what we thought, while leaving the door open to more interpretations
It's crazy how good this is!I also think that tenchs "death" wasn't to believable like maybe there telling everyone that he died from falling but maybe they killed him but there covering it up to not seem like the bad guys bc personally I wouldn't want to work for killers too
Great work. Loving these 'Backrooms' series. There are moments that remind me of the movies, 'The Atrocity Exhibition' and 'THX 1138'. (and of course the series, 'Severence'). All have or use the feeling of The Uncanny/ Uncanny Valley & Liminality in the films/series.
I can't thank you enough for recommendations. I love recs from people who are into psychological craziness like I am, I just bought and read House of Leaves which was AMAZING, If you wanna share any more movies, books, anything in this "uncanny" genre, please do!
Look right at 13:18, there's a guy walking solitary down a desolate street; looks strikingly similar to the footage of Peter running through the emptier parts of the A-Sync campus. I think (hope) that's telling us that Peter is actually still out there and, ironically enough, they're telling the staff that Peter is dead to cover it up--just like Peter's family were informed of his "death".
Two things: One, ASync is lying through their teeth, they definitely did something that should’ve concerned Tench. Their story was far too convenient Two, the ending scene takes place within Autopsy Report, which is the first time the TV scene has been referenced ever since it’s first appearance. With the phone ringing and background sound effects theres some kinda sketch going on
If you compare the movement of the hazmat guys in the earlier videos to the staff walking and working and running now, Kane's movement animation has gotten so good and it was already amazing to begin with. Kane's work started off really great but it's awesome to see his growth as the series goes on aswell.
He has a link in the description to a motion-capture suit, so he's made enough money from this series to really start using the same tech that the professional game and movie industry is using! It's so freaking cool! Granted, motion capture still usually requires some polishing, so this is by no means taking the easy route.

While the overlayed effects of the low-quality camera and greyscale color palette (at times) makes slight imperfections in animation blend in, it's still no easy task to do what him and his team of creators are doing. Can't wait to see where this goes!

Yo guys, idk if it's just me but this whole backrooms thing and the company and even the videos the way that they are made seems oddly familiar to the game Control. Just saying.
バックルームズストーリー！
@Ares Aurelian backroom is fake
Will you be releasing physical media of every clip. It would be neat if it was done in VHS volume tapes with a very postmodernist aesthetic.
Kane's gonna be 40 years old making Oscar worthy feature films and people will still be calling him "a talented 17 yo kid"
Yo guys, idk if it's just me but this whole backrooms thing and the company and even the videos the way that they are made seems oddly familiar to the game Control. Just saying.
lol
I don't get this comment because it implies people are still saying it even though he's not 17 when he still is
CONGRATS ON GETTING A MOVIE DEAL WITH A24 STUDIOS AT JUST 17 YEARS OLD. I CANT BELIEVE YOU'RE ADAPTING THIS SERIES INTO A FULL THEATRICAL MOVIE. SO HAPPY FOR YOU!
He really deserves it, I cant wait for him to blossom into something with a higher purpose!
@stevetrzzI can’t explain it but I just know it’s gonna suck
Yo guys, idk if it's just me but this whole backrooms thing and the company and even the videos the way that they are made seems oddly familiar to the game Control. Just saying.
@uxtalzon you don't watch much A24 do you?
@Saul Goodman no he’s not lol don’t believe everything yah see
The amount of horror I felt hearing "That is done and there is nothing more to be extracted" when they were talking about Peters death and how the next image was of a syringe, that generally made my heart drop. Generally feels like he was killed off because he was too much of a risk.
Yes i think so because he know alot about them and could be a pottentail risk for them thats why they killed him and told everyone that it was and accident 🫡 thats how govenment hids trueth from people 💯🙌🙃 cause i know what am talking about and am not making any ilusion about anything 💯🙌🫡🙃
I didn't understand the syringe part, I hadn't noticed when I got to that part, could someone explain it to me?
Are you 5 years old ?
The fact that he announced that "The Backrooms" are finally going to get a film, shows how good this concept was, and how good he managed to develop it, in such a incredible manner. Congrats Kane!
@Friendlywhale99 there was literally other levels if u didnt watch backrooms found footage 1 & 2 and pitfalls
@The Void Boyz yeah ik, I just wanted to give an example for that guy. Thanks for a detailed and structured response
@wocky soooo? It’s his I don’t get your point. You can still enjoy the og, his backrooms is just more popular through know fairly of his own, grow a brain
@TheCoastinGamerkinda ruins the whole thing
The professionalism of the dialogue is what really draws me in. The way the speaker phrases things is very businesslike, doesn't mix metaphors or misuse words, and has perfect sentence structure. Feels so real!
(EDIT: Spelling, ironically)
@Jordy How can a person write something that aligns with your pop cultural understanding of how that thing would sound? Probably pretty easily, considering you both live in and consume the same culture.
Yo guys, idk if it's just me but this whole backrooms thing and the company and even the videos the way that they are made seems oddly familiar to the game Control. Just saying.
The euphemisms and excuses really sell it
@Jordy ChatGPT lol
lol wtf
Can't believe Peter tripped and fell on the same rock 10 times. What an accident! Good to see our beloved company wasn't involved.
@PurpleKittyKelly That plus the phone ringing makes me think its Peter calling someone, likely his family. Peter is alive, I'm sure of it.
I slowed the ending down, and there's CCTV footage of a man running by a building, another of the man running across a city street. Peter isn't dead...I'm not 100%, but it looks like he got away.
Masterpiece. You have kids that ruined backrooms, then you have people that understood this creepypasta, and then you have Kane Pixels.
Yo guys, idk if it's just me but this whole backrooms thing and the company and even the videos the way that they are made seems oddly familiar to the game Control. Just saying.
Technically 17 is considered a kid
@NeonFroot how is the very real biological process of transitioning from a child to an adult "artificial"? Becoming an adult isn't flicking a light switch, adolescence and puberty are several years long and represent the biggest physical and mental changes humans go through. I'd avoid throwing around the idea that 13 year olds are the same as adults.
"People who understood this"
Ah yes, like Rick and Morty understanders, kids who enjoy this modern day homage to Twilight Zone are misunderstood intellectuals.
@zarrowthenorse having an opinion that bad story tellers did a bad job at telling a story does not equate to "hate".
The idea of being driven insane not by the Complex itself but by the self preservation efforts of Async after faking a man's death was beautifully written. I can't get enough of this series.
I can’t say I blame Async for having to take careful time to “undo” the situation as far as faking Tench’s death. They’re funded by the government and when working in classified programs, they would likely cover it up as well. You can’t really say “he just disappeared” without evidence of it. It’s sucks, but I’m not convinced they’re wholly evil. Just an unprecedented situation and trying to do the best they could.
EDIT: I could also be totally wrong, though that’s my interpretation of it so far.
The fear of being forgotten is often discussed in Backrooms video essays.
Shout out to the voice actor!! This whole episode was fantastic, and I just really love how authentic the VA delivers everything. Great job, huge props!
@Serrara Mayfield Pretty sure Kane confirmed it in a interview, and in VC chat things where he was reacting to backrooms videos by other people.
@Slab Man
Maybe that was him. Could've been an employee.
@Triangle_Pants Because I hear Kane’s voice occasionally. Theres a QnA live stream of him just talking, maybe that will help you.
How do you know, Slab Man?
@Serrara Mayfield Do I really need a source? Like, that is straight up just him doing a deep voice.
Now that I think about it, things really aren't looking up for Marvin.
He's been participating in a project with some sort of "otherworldly" spaces, which in itself isn't that bad. But then, his friend disappeared in the completely unknown circumstances, so eventually he had to come to terms with Peter's potential death. Next, he ended up facing some hellish entity and barely got away with his life. Then, on top of that, he suddenly met his "undead" friend, only to be held at gunpoint by him, witness how he shoots his teammate, and hear the next day that now Peter *really* was dead.
I'm afraid that, after all that, something similar might happen to Marv. Either he'll say hasta la vista to A-Sync or he'll go bonkers too, unless he's really got some nerves of steel, lmao
Marvin has balls of steel, he's gonna stay. I mean he's propably gonna go bonkers like Peter but im pretty sure he's gonna stay for a few more tapes, then he'll dip out.
I think Marvin will be alright. That guy managed to keep his composure while being stuck in a hole in the same room as an other-dimensional bacteria monster!
He's not going anywhere.
@Johns k.J I rewatched the scene and looked closer and the creature actually does appear to start running after him
I agree but I hope not! I've been rooting for him
@Thaddeus TV Well, that's what the camera recorded, but I think the way the scene played out strongly suggests that the being started chasing Marv once he entered its area. Besides, no matter what actually may have happened, that's how it looked like from his POV
This is what the backrooms are all about. Not surviving buggy wuggy, talking Tom and those children’s characters. These videos that generally give you a scare. Nice work Kane Pixels
Yall Pepole In The Comments He's Talking About The Very FIRST Backrooms That Came From The 4chan Post
No they aren’t. Backrooms wiki doesn’t equal original backrooms
Well , the orginal backrooms are focused more about entites but ok
I have to say, I'm more disturbed by the human insanity than the preternatural isolation of The Backrooms...
I mean, imagine wandering away, and becoming lost, and when you come back... everyone had thought you were dead.
The Backrooms is no place for humans to live in.
Amazing work, Kane.
The sound design is incredible. I love that you can hear another voice whisper "shit" when Tench's fate is revealed. Such attention to detail. Bravo.
Yo guys, idk if it's just me but this whole backrooms thing and the company and even the videos the way that they are made seems oddly familiar to the game Control. Just saying.
It's clear that the person was talking to an audience since the beginning, so making them show some reaction is something crucial. An actual example of attention to detail can be found in the second found footage: in the multi store part, you can hear somebody crying/moaning far away in the background. Almost nobody seems to have noticed it, yet there it is.
I heard that too!
@NuclearRollton that could just be him before being killed
@Usuario Extra that's not what I meant and you know it. I'm talking about sound design. Kane didn't NEED to put those little sounds in there, but he did anyway.
The imagery of the last minute is beautiful. The words, “There is nothing more to extract.” As the sun falls behind the horizon, plunging the world into darkness.
Followed by flashing security camera images of a man running down city street.
It could be expanded on for sure. But nothing compares to the psychological horror that this guy still thinks he’s in the back rooms, and on some level always will.
@Hi-Jack the Rabbit ...actually, he kinda did? I mean, if he's gonna declare he's better, be prepared to be challenged on that.
Unity Nobody asked
Unity ⸜⁄ I saw ur stuff and it was dog water
Unity ⸜⁄ cap
What I like about your Backrooms series is that the people at A-Sync are also trying to figure out what’s going on along with us, the viewers (even if we’re given all the events out of order). It’s not like FNAF where it’s all up to the fans to solve everything and find/piece together every detail all on their own. A-Sync is just as confused as us for how Peter somehow jumped through time. good job Kane! Thank you for creating a backrooms series that’s actually pretty nice to follow and well made without it being like “oooOOOOOO scary liminal space with a VHS filter and a monster that was poorly rendered in blender resulting in yet another chase sequence oh no!!1!11!”
I hope you realize that most of those came out after his original video
As a blender user, I'm really shocked to see that the scene in kane pixel's video is becoming more and more realistic now. The character animation is really natural and smooth and I definitely know how hard it is to make it. That's one of the reasons why I admire you so much. Keep going and make more masterpiece!
It's motion capture, you can see the Rokoko sponsorship in desc
Personally I think it was always good since the start but it’s even better!
Its a true miracle for both Kane's writing and the voice actor that I can witness to what would normally be a "here's what the author intended" scene, get a detailed breakdown of the chain of events, and think "I believe you, but I don't believe your message". Felt like the person giving the presentation in-universe was effectively reading from a curated script.
Unity ⸜⁄ that's where your wrong clearly don't put the effort he does to make the videos have quality and to tell a story in which keeps the user engaged
ٴ 🧢
Considering how closely each clip correlated with the "cover story", it's interesting that those doors are shown at 10:18 along with the phrase "alternate threshold". This is also the first time that I'm seeing light that isn't a reflection, coming through those windows.
Your comment gave me chills.
Kane made the chase scene so much better by making the slight delays in the security camera, really shows this kid understands more about artificial cinematography than most big budget companies
@offical491can u stop bot
Don't Read My Profile Picture and i already did
Don't Read My Profile Picture no i will
@Tyrannosaurus Hexno it is always going to be a feat
I love what kane has made so far but let's tone it down a smidge. All these people saying stuff like "kane is better than ever director that has ever existed!!" Is way too much. Calm it down.
Holy shit congrats Kane Pixels. Just saw ur making the Backrooms film with A24. I remember seeing the first backrooms video you uploaded and being blown away. So excited to see what you do with the movie and I'll be in theaters day 1
yep I'll be there day 1 and I'll wear a Async shirt to support him ^^
How does he manage to make a phone ringing scene so terrifyingly ominous?! Chills
For those that aren't aware yet, Kan is getting his series adapted into a feature film published by a24! This is huge Kane!!!
Just saw the news! Congratulations to this incredible artist. Nearly jumped out of my chair with excitement! 😂
ikr congrats for him
SAME xD
Like everyone else said, this was phenomenal.
The way the speaker began his like, 15th paragraph and you could hair chairs creaking under people changing positions. The “shiiiit…” and the woman murmuring after learning of Peter’s death. How professional the speaker was, and how absolute sus peter’s “death” was. The phone at the end. The camera footages. All of it, perfection.
A nice thinly-veiled threat at the end to go along with their debriefing. Rough day at the office.
No monsters, just only incident report. Real masterpiece
@TraditionalArtist little baby
Boring
@Kkbleeblob Makes sense.
@Andranaa Archie a group of scientists
@Kkbleeblob then what is it?
I can't wait to see the box office movies you'll be producing within the next 10 years. Brilliant producer and director.
I hope you're right
Well I have something to tell you
This man single handedly created one of the best series on the Internet.
Hats off 👏
Came back to this channel after 6 months to watch the rest of the Backrooms footage and I just wanted to say congratulations for getting the opportunity to produce and direct a feature length film with A24. I just hope Roberto Patino doesn’t butcher the storyline
This continues to be one of the best horror series I've even seen, easily beating out many large-budget shows.
This kid destined for an Oscar. I’m 35 and have never accomplished anything so spectacular. I’m so convinced it’s real, that’s how good he has done. We are lucky to be able to be here to see such artistic ability. Thank you Kane
@Charlie9inesONYT by the true creator he means the person who came up with the idea (they took and i assume edited a photo to look out of this world) of the backrooms, this guy is just making the most talented series based upon it, i also doubt its juan de dios. you would be more likely to find the original owner on the wikidot or fandom
@Gordo lifter I can’t find that anywhere. Can you send me facts?
the true creator of the backrooms is JUAN DE DIOS GÓMEZ ÁNGELES bro
When this series is finally done, I really hope it gets released on some kind of Blu-ray. This is truly one of the greatest indie horror projects I've ever seen. If you told me this was made by a professional studio, I would believe it wholeheartedly, because everything from the acting to the visuals to the cinematography is absolutely fantastic. This is an amazing piece of work, and I'm so happy to see it develop.
@funwithforkz If you do and will sell, I'll buy. For sure.
Forget bluray! If skinamarink is able to be released in theaters off fan craze, this could and it would make for a neat little movie theater experience!
The only weak point, and hopefully this comes across as constructive, is the animation of people. I'm no expert so I can't explain myself well but sometimes the moving people look a bit jelly
@DinoBoi That would be AMAZING.
no the acting sucks
Kane “Pixels” Parsons. Getting a movie deal with A24 at just 17 years old. Truly the prodigy of our time.
I love how this narration binds all the previous episodes together in a comprehensible one, Kane you are not only a special fx god you are also a good story teller, keep it up!!
Man your work is fantastic - just found and binged every video you've got, including AoT. Congrats on the A24 deal! Your filmmaking, aesthetics and sound design are intensely reminiscent of Panos Cosmatos (and Beyond The Black Rainbow particularly). Can't wait to see what you'll create in the future.
I just wanted to say- I continue to be amazed at the narrative that you've put together based on a prompt that consisted of one photograph and a brief bit of text. It's become something pretty damn compelling- and in a time where the found-footage genre has been beaten half to death, your skills managed to not only revive it, but make us look at it as though we're seeing it for the first time. This tale has pretty strong legs, and I can't wait to see where you run with it.
Congrats on the movie offer, Kane! You really deserve it man, you're a very talented kid and I can't wait to see the full film!
Props to Kane for not taking the route of changing up the lore to throw off his audience. He's actually confirming our theories and even adding context in some areas. Great video as always!
@Pedro Gili was gonna fuckin say, i even remember scott cawthon tweeting shit after game theory episodes like “oh good job, but yOu MIsSeD soMEtHiNg” for the sake of twisting the lore into a damn pretzel. no wonder the fnaf fanbase did the lore justice better than _the creator of the games_ ever could
THIS JUST AGED LIKE A FINE WINE
FNAF take notes
@Omar < and > let you go frame by frame.. when you pause the video. It's not for the speed which the video plays at.
2:39 I’m chillin right neow
Tbh I thought Kane will be just another talented people who lost their way because of fame and fortune. Looking his series up until now, he still got the passion for the work and never strayed from his vision. I'm looking forward to this, congratulations for the project and more success to come.
Well, it's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, believe me
Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
Soon I will be free
Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me?
Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
Well, it's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
Oh, the canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see, really, believe me
Sailing
Takes me away to where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free
@PurpleKittyKelly it’s “sailing” by Christopher cross
I don’t know what the relevance is, but I just posted the lyrics for sleuths to decipher a meaning
I know "Just a dream and the wind to carry me" is from the video, but what's the song/poem and relevance? You have me obsessed in knowing!
Loved the cinematography, the editing, the music (very Steve Roach's "Structures from Silence" in spirit), the voice acting. Triple A content.
I LOVE the fact that the wording, phrasing and the almost soothing voice had me believing everything, and started me down the path of thinking ASync was "legit"... Right up until being informed that Peter simply fell and hit his head on a rock - which just has a foul smell of coverup. And that final sentence is structured and also said in a way that ever so subtly feels almost threatening. That he is and was dead - hinting at a "and don't you dare challenge this statement or you too will find yourself falling onto a rock!".
I am really looking forward to see what you will accomplish with a professional studio backing you!
it's pretty amazing, that because of you Kane there is now a huge community in the backrooms with lots of stories and alternate versions
I love how this episode solves and creates cliffhangers
@Singh Jack ah true! I wonder if Kane will continue this while doing the film
WE STILL DONT KNOW WHATS BEHIND THAT DOOR FROM PITFALLS
@pyropulse
I agree. But you cant say anything is absolutely true yet.
It didn't solve anything; it was just a recap of what we already knew.
plus it is beyond obvious the narrator is lying, since it is the company covering for their mistakes and lying to their team. For instance, it is obvious Peter didn't die from falling and hitting his head on a rock; either the security team outright killed him (as was ordered), or they captured him and are secretly using him for experiments
I guess that is a cliffhanger, but it literally doesn't solve anything
@Im_Diabetic21 for certain, either they killed him or he escaped
I really love The Back rooms its such a good concept that I can't get enough of and what Kane has done with it is absolutely fascinating
This drew me in more knowing that it’s not just about monsters and that there’s more to be know of the unknown and what I just saw in this video was not what I was expecting and I loved it
Just heard the news on your partnership with A24! Soo happy for you Kane, I can't wait to see your story brought to the big screen!
I absolutely adore how realistic it looks as if you filmed actual people.
High quality as usual.
I love that in their cover up to him showing up after saying “he accidentally died” is “no seriously, he accidentally died”
This was perfect closure to Peter (yes, the detail about him dying from the stumble may be a cover-up). It shows that Async was methodical and cautious while studying the time-warp and trying to assimilate Peter, all while keeping the project running as smoothly as practical. Async isn't some exaggerated cartoon-villain shadow organization that 'only cares about the money, power and higher-ups'. Major props for writing a compelling monologue - as others have said, it felt like I was in a real meeting.
@PurpleKittyKelly No.. lol
He made it out, and escaped their clutches all together. Enough so that he's in an other undisclosed location, calling home incessantly.
They're lying, by saying they shot him up and about not seeing monsters in the construct. Everything is a lie. Small truths in-between.
@ButtSauce666 Oh, he made it out. But they did something to him.
@Daniil Films KP does everything, every detail, deliberately.
That’s what I’m saying! Async isn’t a evil company as people assume
@TualaTrout They probably just used the 2/27 recording to add something in there (so you can more understand what’s going on)
Had another backroom type dream last night, and I don't even follow the backroom anthology, but had to come here to marvel how these shorts have really tapped into the human psyche
I knew one day you would be doing feature films. That’s so awesome congratulations on all your hard work and what you’ve accomplished so far!
Kane’s videos never disappoint me ever they are so cool and take a lot of time keep up the great work Kane! :D
congrats on getting the feature with a24!!! seriously!! i love their horror films and your backrooms horror SO MUCH and cant wait to see what you do!! so deserved seriously
When I first heard about the backrooms I thought it was some lie. But I looked it up and saw how awesome Kane Pixels' first video was was instantly amazed by the idea of clipping through reality to the backrooms.
Kane was so smart here. Instead of animating the full movements of a human, which is something considerably hard to make convincing, he took advantage of the way old security cameras captured images, so he only had to animate certain poses without much transition between.
Genius move.
@Kyuu Tomoyaki No they weren’t, Im not a blender renderer or anything but it’s pretty easy to make videos like these (compared to like 10 years ago)
@mothchu That also doesn't mean you need to realistically animate the entire model. You can simply pose it then move the entire model / root back & forth, which is more than enough to create motion blur. It literally takes 1 minute + render time to do it.
Hell, you don't even need to move the model at all... You can simply just pose the model, render frame, add motion blur effects to the model with another software, since it's all frame by frame it also takes like 2-3 minutes to do it. You can even do it with a cheap ass free software like PhotoScape.
This is one person doing / managing everything. What makes him great is that he is able to work his way around to beat the limitations and creates an immersive story by putting the pieces together.
Plus he has a good taste in a lot of things.
@Chi Chicana Kane ain’t lazy, he doesn’t do it the way the commenter were replying to said he did
Laziness!
Bravo vince
I simply cannot wait for the movie! I hope A24 gives you complete creative control. Congrats on that opportunity! I cannot wait to see it. Hopefully it will be in theaters.
what i love about a good horror is being able to sort of put the pieces together before its revealed and really backrooms does it just right, riiiiiiight before the reveal, you can suddenly reflect on all the info given to you in previous videos and go, oh wait a lot of this was told or hinted at and its incredible!! good lukc and godspeed on future endeavours
Just read the news report about A24. Absolutley amazing mate, I'm made up for you, all this hard work has paid off. Onward!
you know an analog horror series/ARG hits different when it makes you tear up and feel actual despair for an established human being
Congrats on the movie deal Kane! I cannot wait to see it! This cliffhanger was great and I cannot wait for the next episode
''He hit his head...really!'
Uh-huh.'
I'm so impressed with the dialog (and delivery.) When I was writing, even in my early 20's, my dialog would either have been too rigid and technical, or too chummy. Your monologue hits the tone of professionalism, coworker familiarity (we're all family here) and regret perfectly. I felt like I was at that meeting. Well done, sir.
Whether it was you or someone else who did the voice acting- nail on the head delivery.
@Alexolas Can we get this one trending?
Rewatching this, the presenter already gave the company or its rogue security team away. Sensory deprivation? Was he in solitary confinement? In a room lacking in features? Vsauce was already losing it when he tried it himself for 3 days. They were grossly negligent in holding Tench for 2 weeks in such a condition or they really were messing with him.
Edit: nvm, photo of the holding room that looks bland as heck
Edit2: Rewatching MatPat react to Reunion, he pointed out Peter would be dangerously lacking in sustenance (food, water) if he really was in the complex for 2 weeks. I've done a week and a half of no food, but gosh darn did I need a lot of water. So now I'm gonna give a +1 to the presenter's credibility that Peter really was kept in a holding room that was really lacking in features, which is basically mind torture (see Vsauce's Isolation from Mind Field). The end part of the presentation though, still incredi-sus.
Where is that dialog? I don't hear it
What's the timestamp for this?
Well done, it explains Peter's story very well especially the part when he goes 2 months in the future, (even tho his death was probably a cover), it was a sad story.
Now this is how it's done, this whole mini-series made by a 17 year old individual that created an experimental Portal and Attack on Titan sequences to this wonderful Backroom said series where we gone from Found Footage to a Documentary style. No Faze, Optic, Team 10 or other Million Sub 'Family Friendly' channel go overacting, editing, stunts or other dumb things shoving to our faces to rack up views. Hearing about you getting a feature length movie brings smile and joy to my face, you've earn this recognition and to inspire few good Clip-Sharers that done a horror-styled video besides bad ones. Kane Pixels, thank you for everything.
Dude, congrats on the feature film! A24, man! We'll deserved 👏 👏 👏
OH MY GOSH THANK YOU FOR FINALLY DOING THE STUTTER THING! I never hear people say words weird in movies and when i heard ably i celebrated so hard
This is my all-time favorite youtube series. It's so good I struggle so much with only being able to watch 15 mins of it on average per upload, I've been so spoiled with full seasons LOL, incredible work
I can't believe he survived the backrooms, warped forward in time, and escaped a science complex only to die to a rock. I highly doubt he died to a rock
@Felipe Dias True because it wouldn't make sense for peter to intentionally go back into the complex and then want to escape
Did you not see it?
In the glitches at the end, there was more security footage.
He was in a city.
They lied.
You don't see it? This is the cover story, initially they planned to reverse the deceased status, it didn't work. So they let him escape and then "die" to a rock. In reality he was let go and ran somewhere to live his life as another person . But as it stands Tench is officially going to remain dead.
If they really wanted to stop him there were so many opportunities, they could've shut down the lift, apprehended him at the surface level. I'm pretty sure there's more security on the surface level, and more locked doors. And after what he did do you really think some random researcher would've managed to get the shotgun back from him? Not likely. He probably dropped it off to avoid suspicion once he came upto the surface.
probably a cover story by async
He should have been carrying his papers.
Absolutely amazing. The tone and narrative of this one was fantastic. Absolutely heartbreaking. Or was it just another cover up?
Also, the phone call at the end, I half expected (FNAF) 'He... Hello, Hello?'
The exposition is a real change of pace and great way to break up the vignettes leading us to this point
I also really like how the characters turn around at the gunshot in the beginning. People don't turn or move realistically in most films now - but they really seem to here. Can't tell if it's because they're hand animated or what?
Congrats on the movie deal, man! James Wan and A24 are producing? Awesome!
Holy shit dude this backrooms series has so much lore and I am actually sucked into it
7:16 An underrated moment in the video. imagine being in this backrooms universe and being told that someone had practically time traveled into the future. for them that is now a reality that the employees have to live with, a horror that they cannot fully process
@Chase Studios dear chicken nugget
@YYHHTTCCC YYHHTTCCC Welp If Someone Makes A Backrooms Out Of Context Video This Will Be In It
@Cat Poke The stuff you're saying is fascinating! I'd love to hang out with you and just listen to you talk about stuff (and discuss this amazing series.) I'm captivated by this whole idea, the creepiness of it.
@nikidino8 Considering it's the backrooms, I doubt it follows the same laws of physics. I doubt velocity or gravity were involved in the dilation we see.
The interesting thing is that time traveling into the future is actually possible in our universe. It happens to everyone every second that they live. Now, sounds like I'm making a cop-out, right? "Yeah, but that's not what we mean by time travel!"
Well luckily for you, the same mechanism that brings us forward in day-to-day life can be sped up. Well, technically time SLOWS DOWN for certain objects, but that causes the less slowed down time for objects around them to seem to speed up. Thanks to relativity, people in certain places will progress through time faster or slower than others, and in certain extreme parts of the universe- such as near a black hole- time slows down for whatever's near it to such an extreme degree that the rest of the universe appears to speed up to ABSURD speeds. Spend a second near a supermassive black hole, and the whole universe will be different than it was before you got close. If you managed to leave the black hole, you would have leapt forward in time an unimaginable amount of years.
This is not science fiction, mind you. This is real life and there are objects out there experiencing this very scenario. Maybe even some living creatures, but... well... as soon as they get that close to a black hole, they're not living anymore. And I'm not sure if it's possible for any organisms to travel far enough to reach a supermassive black hole.
This is also not talking about how speed impacts time, either. Or the difference between being on Earth versus in space.
It's crazy stuff. Forward time travel is real and you're doing it all the time to minor degrees. So, yeah. It would be pretty crazy to be told he time traveled, but not quite as crazy as you'd think.
You have attracted a huge audience after months in a world that is both fascinating and disturbing, just like the unpredictability of life and our witnessing certain things and not others. In short, it is a challenge that is as interesting as it is true. I hope Netflix brings such an original and successful idea to the big screen.
Kane, I saw the news release on Deadline today about you!! Couldn't be happier for you, man!!! Big names courting you, especially Wan's Atomic Monster - wow!! Well deserved congrats young man, well deserved. I wish you all the success in the world, your hard work has gotten proper notice - stay the course, keep your focus, ignore the haters, stay clean and all that good stuff!
love this and how you tied the story together super intriguing and cant wait for the next one!
i love the story line this guy makes! it all adds up perfectly.
Congratulations on getting a feature film with A24! Proud of how far you've come!
I am pretty sure Peter actually managed to escape the facility and trying to reach its family. I like the way A-Sync is trying to obscure these events even to their employers
@Daniil Films I do believe Peter is likely dead but, he has similar symptoms to Paranoid Schizophrenia as explained in the video. A normal human will not just trust a random guy who sounds batshit insane talking about a alternate dimension.
@PurpleKittyKelly If Peter was alive Async would’ve been DONE, Or at the very least Async wouldn’t take time to make another cover story if he is still alive
@PurpleKittyKelly peter has gone crazy
@Daniil Films He's alive. That was him in the glitch. They showed video of him being found, escaping but then not him running over the hill?And they told the employees to pretty much hush about it. They believed he was dead before, just know that he's STILL gone. All lies. I mean, the title is DAMAGE CONTROL, for cryin out loud.
Excellently made!! I have a feeling that Peter is still alive somehow and that is who is calling at the end. It’s just something so uneasy about how the whole situation was handled.
IMO I am more enticed by this series than anything currently on Tv lol
I am blown away. I can't wait for the movie! And oh I'm betting that was Tench on the phone. I don't believe the story of his death for a second! This story just keeps getting better and better! So many threads to follow!
Kane, you are a genuine wunderkind, and I've been hooked with gleaming anticipation! This is so good. I haven't been this excited about the bleeding edge of a story since LOST!
I am blown away. I smashed this series out, I ignored messages and calls to keep watching. It was fucking incredible and visually insane. Don't let Netflix or Disney+ touch it. Please don't. This was a beast of a masterpiece.
The fact that these guys and Rackaracka are starting their careers on Clip-Share gives me hope for me and my friend. It's people like these guys that give me hope for my future as a writer and for that i thank them I hope they succeed in their future endeavors.
Is it bad that I keep repeating the video for the amazing soundtrack? There's a lot of things to say about this amazing master piece but I absolutely love the music. Just me?
There's a link in the description to a motion-capture suit, so Kane has made enough money from this series to really start using the same tech that the professional game and movie industry are using! It's so freaking cool! Granted, motion capture still usually requires some polishing, so this is by no means taking the easy route. I'm really happy that Kane has made enough money to focus so much on this series as what seems like a part time job/hobby/passion. While the overlayed effects of the low-quality camera and greyscale color palette (at times) makes slight imperfections in animation blend in, it's still no easy task to do what him and his team of creators are doing. Can't wait to see where this goes!
Edit: Maybe he was sponsored by Rokoko? If so, that's freaking awesome.
@Yesica1993 While that is your choice, and a quite respectable one at that, ads never make anywhere near in revenue as sponsorship deals for the creator.
@Yesica1993 examples of something like this happening?
@Exil Desert If I start seeing commercials on this channel, I'm done. It's the same thing, every time. You find a great channel. It's under the radar. They keep putting out great stuff. They do it because they love it. But because they're so good, the channel gets big. Next thing you know, every episode is a freaking ad / commercial for something. I was patient for many, many years as I've watched channels on Clip-Share. I'm burned out.
I've heard him interviewed on a couple podcasts fairly recently and he hadn't mentioned any sponsorships, but the question may not have been asked, or the subject wasn't raised- it seemed to me at the time he was pretty much working solo. But I could be wrong.
I thought it looked more realistic when Peter skidded to a stop when running into the Threshold base, then later when the one Security officer did a 180 to go down the correct hallway.
I love this. That speech sounded super professional and Maaaaan if I worked at Async and was in the room during the meeting @12:05 I would've mentally called bullshit unless there was a body and adequate proof of said "knock head on rock dead" XD. That seemed too "lucky" in the case of Async. Who knows what kind of information would get out had he of succeeded in his escape from the premises. The phone on the wall at the end also gives the "or did he?" vibe as well. Again, love it. 👏
I watched this video first not realizing the backrooms, was a series of videos, and all I can say is it worked well, and didn't ruin anything for me starting with this one, and then realizing there was a playlist, and watching from the start.
My experience ended up being more of starting with seeing their damage control efforts, and me being confused what's going on, and then being shown everything that leads up to this video. So hey even when watching outta order the series works great haha Is this the ending, or will there be more?

Bro, I’m so happy and proud to hear about your A24 deal. ‘Well deserved’ is putting it lightly, this shit was inevitable. Best of luck, although I doubt you’ll need it 🎉🎊🍾🥳
I love your BoneWorks vid!
Dang this is a full ambient experience. This must have been so well thought out. :D
I identify with this horror genre because everything that was once familiar now seems strange and menacing. Half my brain is trying to reassure me with the sensory familiarity but the other half is also registering an unsettling dissonance. That fine line between that point when the air goes from pleasing cool to uncomfortably wet...
This is massive for the lore. Kane is confirming things, he's adding some new stuff, and I feel like everything can be extracted from this. Again, well done Kane, you're a genius
All this was already confirmed in the Presentation video, there's nothing massive here. I think Kane made this video just to keep us entertained while he works on more interesting stuff.
@Pedro Gabriel Salvagni Sabbi who would, if it's all for a _better_ world in the end?
@AnUnknownPerson lol
@pyropulse and? if you've ever listened to some of matpat's old fnaf theories, you can learn just how important it is for creators to confirm the suspicions of their consumers. That's what this video is doing and it's doing it in a tasteful way: confirming what we thought, while leaving the door open to more interpretations
It's crazy how good this is!I also think that tenchs "death" wasn't to believable like maybe there telling everyone that he died from falling but maybe they killed him but there covering it up to not seem like the bad guys bc personally I wouldn't want to work for killers too
Great work. Loving these 'Backrooms' series.
There are moments that remind me of the movies, 'The Atrocity Exhibition' and 'THX 1138'. (and of course the series, 'Severence').
All have or use the feeling of The Uncanny/ Uncanny Valley & Liminality in the films/series.
I can't thank you enough for recommendations. I love recs from people who are into psychological craziness like I am, I just bought and read House of Leaves which was AMAZING, If you wanna share any more movies, books, anything in this "uncanny" genre, please do!
Look right at 13:18, there's a guy walking solitary down a desolate street; looks strikingly similar to the footage of Peter running through the emptier parts of the A-Sync campus. I think (hope) that's telling us that Peter is actually still out there and, ironically enough, they're telling the staff that Peter is dead to cover it up--just like Peter's family were informed of his "death".
Two things:
One, ASync is lying through their teeth, they definitely did something that should’ve concerned Tench. Their story was far too convenient
Two, the ending scene takes place within Autopsy Report, which is the first time the TV scene has been referenced ever since it’s first appearance. With the phone ringing and background sound effects theres some kinda sketch going on
First time watching with headphones. The sound design is epic. A truly immersive experience
If you compare the movement of the hazmat guys in the earlier videos to the staff walking and working and running now, Kane's movement animation has gotten so good and it was already amazing to begin with.
Kane's work started off really great but it's awesome to see his growth as the series goes on aswell.
@Bait Police ur not funny
@Cistaz of Mercy They surprisingly aren't. Shows how amazing kane is at this.
@AverageTexan You're correct 😆, I wrote that fast and later kept thinking about if I used the right term.

@Andrés Arce procedurally generated? I don’t think you know what that word means
I remember when this channel had a few thousand subs, and now you are making this wonderful series with 2 mil subs, keep up the great work!
This series has been amazing to watch. I just found it and watched all of it. Can’t wait for more.
