Behind The Scenes Paradox - A Rusty Lake Film [Making Of Video]

It's been one month since the release of both the Paradox movie & game and the reactions have been truly overwhelming. Our producers, The LAB (thelabstudios.net), created this awesome Behind the Scenes / Making of video to not only give you an insight how amazing and fun it was to be on the Rusty Lake Paradox movie set but also to show how much effort everyone from the movie crew put into this special project.
We are very honored that have had the chance to work with such a talented and dedicated group of people. We can't thank the crew enough for translating our universe to the big screen! And secretly we can’t wait to do this again!

Yes

[@0Fyrebrand0]

It's funny how sometimes it's the mundane things that end up being CGI. But if you think about it, there's no ceiling, so there can be no ceiling fan.

[@theresisty7122]

I liked her speech in chapter 2. The voice actress in the game delivered the lines so well. Laura just seemed exhausted, like she didn't even care whether she would be the one to be enlightened or to die, she just wanted it to be over. Like one way or the other she just wants to be at peace.

Ik speelde de eerste spellen van Rusty Lake toen ze nog op Kongregate stonden. Dit is één van die zeldzame series die je helemaal meetrekken in een mysterieuze wereld vol waanzinnige personages en puzzels die even logisch als onlogisch zijn. Een verhaal waarbij hoe langer dat je speelt, je tegelijkertijd steeds meer en steeds minder begrijpt. Als ervaren schrijver van fantasy en mysterieverhalen blijven jullie mij verbazen. Driewerf chapeau!

I remember I was giggling like an idiot when I found out Paradox had dropped while I was looking for games to play on the app store. I felt that becuase I discovered this amazing series between Paradox and the one before it, I jumped on the bandwagon too late but I am so happy that there is still a story to be told! This series has wonderful puzzles, a captivating story, and surprisingly the replay value is up there becuase of little bits and pieces that eventually make sense. Thank you so much Rusty Lake

Bro even the Makin off is perfect! I love this game and play since I was like 5 or 6 years old! I was so surprised that u guys still make games! I just love everything about this game series! After played this both me and my mom (we always play scape together) we just played your scape games! It ia just so nice! Actually not going to lie :p me and my mom was scared in one of the games that we had time to do something because a thing was going to kill us, I was kinda little so was kinda scared even know that both mom and dad make me watch horror movies since 4 .-. but after some years we were looking for a good scape game to play and we both remember the "black thing game" so we started to search for it ;u; and we found that it wans't just one game but a hole serie! So we started to play it ;u; we are still playing it and is the best game (not just escape) that we ever played! And I'm freaking out now because u guys lanced a game yesterday;u; I love your job and the game history! I hope that people start to recognize more this game! (My English is not the best sorry)

You all put so incredibly much work in it, the 'begind the scenes' made that clear. To be honest, I thought the room and Mr. Crows head were Greenscreen but NO, YOU ALL ACTUALLY MADE THEM!! Incredibly. I'm looking forward to purchasing the other games, thank you for all this, really, thank you, it always makes my day when I manage to solve another riddle. Good luck with whatever your planning to do next, Rusty Lake!! 😁👍

[@Metooyeah]

I feel like this series dont get the hype it deserves. At one point i love how i know the game but not many people do to ruin it but then also this game is just TOO good to not be known i might be adoring it. I kinda grew up with it like i played paradox not knowing that its a series, years ago. Im now a teenager but back then you can say i was smaller and the game woke this strange sense of fear in me that i didnt know the source of. I knew the game freaks me out but i didnt know why. Still i was as fascinated as i was afraid so i kept trying to complete all the puzzles, the confusing back story it could have pulled me in like crazy i was obsessed trying to understand something but it was just one game i knew and played back then so i couldnt. Then years passed and i played the game for a couple times just for the vibe it had, from the art style to the sounds and colours it was just perfect all together. Once i learned there was more than one game i was so happy and i finished almost every game, recommended it to my cousin and we played together even before "the past within" we would just sit together not look at eachother s screen and try to finish the game together, talking thru it. Im so glad i found this game I just wanted to thank the creators and everyone that added to it for giving me such good memories, lovely times and this game❤ (I found my comment under another video and im so confused i wrote this comment for this video im so sorry if im sending this twice here)

[@adelinedigiusto2815]
