How do u do this cgi it’s sick

[@Cra-b]

No i wont click it i know you want to install bonzi buddy on my pc.

[@eoinh]

The text that appears for a few frames at 0:27 (when flipped) reads dNch/dy=8000. dNch/dy is the symbol for "particle multiplicity" in Particle Physics, i.e. when you collide two particles (e.g. atoms) together in a particle accelerator like the LHC, how many particles are created from those two. The higher the number, the more energy the particle accelerator needs to give the particles. Skimming real journal papers from the mid 1990's, it looks like even then 8000 was the maximum possible value. In this world, it looks like they were playing with these energies earlier in time, in 1989. And given the huge FAILURE signs that appear in the same frame, it didn't work. Whether it was the scientists' plan or not, they used a powerful particle accelerator to collide two massively energetic particles together, which caused a wormhole(?) to open, leading to what we see in this video

What I love about this scene is that the threshold distorts the panel by the back and it soon turns into this pitch black void suddenly get filled in by the yellow plasma(whatever it is) to punch through it and it expands and expands and rips this barrier until it opens a world, a door that cannot be closed. It's so bizarre and interesting.

[@rjsmmove5538]

@@brorianszk I disagree, the levels lore is so whacky that its impossible to touch with so many people wanting to get into the worldbuilding that the only real explanation is a connected multiverse. You would be a fool to trifle with the black hole known as the infinite levels lore. This lore and THAT MONSTER should be separate with ABSELOUTLEY ZERO overlap or reference. No almond water, no partygoers, no smilers, no M.E.G, and NO EXTRA LEVELS. One space with different areas with one species of entity, or just one entity that we know of, we also know that there are multiple entities of the same species. That's right, we don't have an entire animal kingdom, just one known entity other than humans. In my opinion (which is the only correct opinion), the levels lore is just some Walmart great value brand, released at discounted price version of the SCP multiverse, which is also somewhat whacky.

[@rjsmmove5538]

​@@Shrek_Almighty No, opinions like these cannot be right or wrong. I liked the Backrooms because it was a creative concept that held lots of potentials to tell a great story, and that's fine. If someone enjoys the backrooms because they got a chance to connect with new people, or because it gave them a chance to make something new, that's fine too. I don't like statements that try to tell people what the Backrooms "should be". The Backrooms is just an oooh so scary 4chan post. Art cant be objectively wrong, and you aren't being incorrect for enjoying something you like. That being said, my comment was obviously sarcastic, but even if I was correct and completely serious, it wouldn't matter. Why do you feel obligated to respond to me? Why are you putting words in my mouth?

This thing gives me fear, but the way the portal just looks so broken at the end yet it is still responding. That was actually beautiful. This is the best analog horror and backrooms series I have seen in many years. And I have seen A LOT of backrooms and analog horror.

Theory: The Minotaur's labyrinth referred to in ancient myth is a mistranslated rendition of the backrooms as they appeared in ancient Greece. The form they take is a reflection of our reality, and like with the Minotaur, the creature(s) they contain must be satiated with live prey now and again. I hope this gate is called "Project Daedalus" or something similar. A name that perfectly encapsulates the combination of brilliance and hubris.

The further back we go the more I realize that stories may not be just stories. Like how many religions have a virgin birth, a son (sun) reincarnation after the same amount of days and so on. It doesnt matter how many times it's rewritten, the premise of it could be more than real. Anyone who has practiced dreams knows if it can be imagined, it can be experienced. With anything being possible, the only thing hindering understanding, is ourselves. I'd like to try and imagine what it would be like to live through times that had completely supernatural experiences turned into a form of history.

The most amazing thing about your comment is that it actually happens. Its real. Think of it, what are the most absurd thing in this universe? Blackholes. Blackholes are the strongest and weirdest thing in the entire universe. Their origin is from a supernova. What do you think the most basic thing for something to exists? That's right, the existence of atoms, space and time from universe scale to quantum. But the thing is, blackhole absolutely destroy everything around it. Even the space and time itself. There's no atoms, no space and time, how does blackhole still manages to exists? That is remain unknown. It's like a supergiant star is exploding so strong that it creates a hole to a deeper reality, which we call blackhole. It exists without this reality rule, just proving that deeper reality does exists.

I know this comment is probably going to be ignored and forgotten but I just want you to realise how insane this is. The idea of The Backrooms as a whole is one thing that is amazing with its established communities, entities and levels. This however is something also great, science has come so far that they have found a way to the Backrooms and are treating it in a way Companies and Governments would with it. The thing is, the people who made the portal don't yet understand just WHAT they made a portal to. In their point of view, they wouldn't see it as we would but probably a space that exists between matter or some thing like that and them thinking this is all there is, just moist carpet and yellow walls. I dearly hope Kane Pixels leads this to the meeting of the pre-established communities known in the Backrooms and exchanging information. Not only this but the discovery of what we would call "Level 1" and the reaction it causes that would be "Maybe there is more to this place".

[@Im_Derivative]

As a CG artist, I gotta know how you're doing this. Are you scene building this entirety in 3d and then matching real cameras movement to it? It looks fucking phenomenal! You're choice of filter not only helps sell the effect, but god damn do you understand setting up lighting and color balance. You've really hit the atmospheric nail on the head! All I'd say is remember to overexpose when portraying direct light on VHS (and possibly use some sort of lens flare, swiping from one side to another during increasing brightness, so the light feels as if it's naturally refracting throughout the lens.), they have a terrible white balance and most of them are auto iso so adding some auto adjustment noises and contrast/brightness shifting (and possible AF blurring) may help sell the effect even more in some places. There's a lot of fun artifacts you can play with in VHS too, such as natural data moshing and stuff. It would be cool to see the camera at one point actually go through a wall, leaving the 3d geometry, and falling through a void like space polluted with a snow like ash, so you can truly have that video game like feel of a no clip. Whatever you choose to do thoug, it is obviously working, and those are just suggestions! Great work, and keep making films!

However, it’s also associated with 2001 A Space Odyssey, where the rogue AI sung it as he was being shut down. Its use here could symbolize the scientists being too confident in their control over their machines, just as the creators of the HAL 9000 were too confident in their control of their creation.

In the found footage video there's also a scene with an almost infinite amount of different exit ways. There's also a photo in the archive video that shows someone on a computer which looks like he's actively shaping or modelling the backrooms. But that's just my theory.

@@user-vk7wn9ii9t sure i will elaborate. I didnt really make my point very well, ill admit. Essentially what i mean is that the Backrooms is an excellent concept for horror. But it reminds me of what happened to the SCP Foundation, for example. In the sense that it started out very well crafted. But as time went on it was "hijacked" by kids on the internet and such, and now its just super embarassing, awful fan fiction that has no resemblence to the original idea. Thats what i feel has happened with the Backrooms. Its true value is that its simple and unexplainable horror.

This is Backrooms lore I can actually appreciate. I've had dreams like the Backrooms several times throughout my life and was surprised to find it is an actual thing online with lots of extended lore dozens of people have contributed. The dreams are actually legitimately terrifying with the presence of some entity sometimes being felt. So when stuff like Jerry and actual factions setting up bases in the place started being a thing, it felt silly barely having anything to do with the concept.

[@leolikestodraw969]

Tbh, i think things such as colonies and entities could work really well with the Backrooms if done the right way. Let's say colonies, for example, since the Backrooms are absolutely HUGE in size, colonies could be something rare, sometimes nearly impossible to find in some levels, kinda like a single oasis in a huge desert, and with the entities, they could give a feeling of paranoia to the Backrooms, where even tho you feel alone, you also *know* you're not alone. Anyways, that's just my opinion tho, just how i think it could be done.

[@DoofusManBoy]

Modifications to the accelerator by Test #6 include: Triple support beam on internal chamber 23A, 13+ additional Radiofrequency cavities at 372 MHz, REDACTED introduced into the *REDACTED*, particle detectors 41-90 replaced, high-precision beam now monitiors for vibration exceeding the Accelerometer Sensitivity of 90,000 mV/G (milivolts per the gravitational acceleration), and dNch/dy (number of charge particles per rapid speed) set to 8000. The camera itself would be moved back to prevent damage and visual cutoffs from the system. On October 17, 1989 at 5:03pm-5:04pm, the sixth test of the low-proximity magnetic distortion system was performed. Instead of testing at low proximity, the testers thought it ideal to increase the rate of charge particles (dNch/dy) to be higher than 8000, which was thought to have caused the failures in previous tests. This would result an increased magnetic distortion that was dangerous for the Earth's magnetic field. The first event was the spontaneous molecular distortion (Jahn-Teller effect) before the system had produced light that had been much brighter than any of the previous tests. The testroom has an installed cyrogenic cooling system with liquid helium that prevents anything from catching on fire. The small fires seen on tape lasted one second under these "outer-space" temperatures. Dirt started to crumble out from the ceiling as the system shook the entire undergrond facility. The doorway became brighter and brighter as hypothesized. After a minute had passed since the test started, computers began to generate a map of what was on the other side - a labyrinth of corridors emerging out of thin air by the phenomena. A conversation from the observation deck can be heard in the recording: "Jesus Christ. Turn it off! Shut if down, now!" "Wait." "What is that?" "There's something there. There's an obstruction." "It looks like *unintelligible*." "No, keep going." "Sir, this is not safe-" Moments later, all recordings had to be shut down due to the blinding brightness of the concentrated explosion within the system. Like the original Big Bang, space was suffocated in extreme light frequencies that humans could not see. This "big bang" explosion wrecked the system and people had to evacuate the facility. Cameras had fallen from their post but returned to fliming at 5:13pm after the evacuation. What was left, as seen by the still-working cameras, was the result of the system post-mordem. Cameras caught something never expected through the doorway - a hallway full of florescent lights on a grid ceiling, carpet floors, and yellow wallpaper such as seen in offices at the time. The organization had created a concentrated universe that seemed to be based on human aesthetics. It is unclear if there were any casualties at the facility. At 5:04pm, the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake occured at the Central Coast of California. The shock centered in The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park in Santa Cruz County on a section of the San Andreas Fault system. The seismic magnitude of the earthquake was 6.9 and the MMI was rated as IX (Violent). While the earthquake has been officially said to have been a result of the movement of tectonic plates, the test of Async's magnetic distortion system is most likely the culprit. Their system had generated a distortion with such a huge magnitude, the Earth's own magnetic field had been affected by their test. Async never released anything about their experiment to the public as it would become obvious that they created the severe damage to the Central Coast that cost billions of dollars.
