CHAPTER 1: WELCOME TO ARCADIA - Arcadia Analog Horror Series

Re-uploaded due to an error with one of the dates.

[@azathoth8929]

the work you did with this series is incredible, I am in the foundations of my own story but I have never done anything like this and I would like to know if you could give me some advice or tell me what programs you have used to do it yourself.

[@ChillingAbyss]

@@azathoth8929 My advice is make something that you would enjoy watching yourself. Sometimes things might not work out the way you envision and that’s ok. It gives you a chance to try again and you may even get a better idea along the way. For programs I used Vegas Pro for all of my videos except for the newest video. The newest video was made with DaVinci Resolve. For 3D animation I use Blender. For art & graphics I use Affinity photo. For sound & music I use FL Studio.

[@azathoth8929]

@@ChillingAbyss thanks for guiding me, sincerely I always wanted to start something like this but I never had the courage. Now I feel more convinced :)

[@XE-ml8ei]

Dude this is so good, keep at it man

[@thishandleistacken]

@@ChillingAbyss was the choice to switch from Vegas to Davinci one of circumstance for specific reasons or are you switching over in general? oh btw I left you something in another comment :) thanks so much for your work

26:18 It reminded me of the Black Forest theory, in which civilizations do not send or respond to any type of extra-solar communication signal (from outside their home system - extraterrestrial) because there may be "predators" or there is always a "bigger fish" in the game, and in order to continue to maintain themselves, they remain quiet.

[@Heating56]

“This is not a warning. This is your death sentence.” Probably the coldest line I’ve ever seen in analogue horror

[@BoredomIncorperated]

27:25 The Forest is a story of a hunter in a dark, dense forest. He has a horn that he can blow into to call out to others, to end his solidarity, but he doesn't use it. He knows that if he blows into the horn, everything in the forest will be alerted to his presence, and not all of them will see him as a friend. So, he hunts alone, unknowing if he himself is being hunted

[@originalterrterrbear]

The Signal and Interference work so well together, and the Alaskan EBS was just the cherry on top 🍒 100/10

[@thishandleistacken]

This series is one of the most creative uses of the genre I've yet found (plus it delves into multiple genres and uses an incredible amount of different techniques). Thank you so much for putting in the passion and effort that sadly is lacking in many other projects. The quality of the story and the quality of the visuals/audio make this stand up there with the greats. Very excited to see this continue and for it to get the attention it deserves. Seeing how much (what was already quite good) your style(s) have improved from the beginning to the most recent upload (at time of writing, The Farm) is truly inspiring). I'm hoping that leaving a superthanks on this video rather than the most recent release pushes it into the newsfeed of other fans of analog horror. Hope you're well. Cheers! Side Message to commenters: Consider giving a few bucks to your favourite creators! Don't' if you can't but if you can I highly encourage it. Donations aren't just for livestreamers :)

[@ChillingAbyss]

Wow! Thank you so much, I am always trying to improve and any contributions I earn will go right back into making my videos even better. 🌚👍

I am BEYOND thrilled to see a new ongoing analog horror series that keeps me watching for more than a few minutes. You have the perfect level of mystery and eeriness, not relying on jump scares or similar tactics, not spelling out everything exactly. Definitely have me subscribed for future updates! Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

[@keithjacobson1640]

I somehow only recently (very recently) discovered analog horror and I just love it.

[@OrificeHorus]

Ooo care to share more about it? Did you ever run it?

[@--baphomet]

Creepy I like it! My favorite part was the signal interference, as this seemed to be the downfall of them all.

[@nomam9085]

i honestly expected the signal to finish loading in time but the normal looking people would actually turn out to be the dangerous ones

The three signals part is a mastery on psychological horror. Well done!

[@thesayerofthelaw]

I love the music for Mythical Creatures. So unnerving but wimsical.

[@walkerw4863]

I found it humorous that the project of the company called "ADAM" Laboratories to connect to new world, as sort of a new start to everything known, is called "EVE." Great use of parallelism/symbolism (i think that's what it means)

[@cantsayimsurprised]

The presentation is top notch.

Amazing, The Signal part was really scary.

An amazing start to a fascinating series. One question. Is the implication that the dimensional travel in The Signal is the cause of all the other supernatural happenings, or is it just one more wierd thing in a world overflowing with them?

It is infuriating that this has so few views in comparison to videos reacting to it. Ones that play your entire video in it. This is a huge problem in analog horror communities that needs to be addressed. 😡

[@l00nzie_toonz]

Cool detail of the dude falling in the sky at the end of the crying caves. Was it the dude from the camera in the cave?

[@spacepimpkevin1184]

This would make sense with the body found near REDACTED and the camera it had. The cave teleported him above the field where he fell and died.

Ngl, I'm gonna hold on to the belief that the third universe decided to bust in because they were pissed they weren't going to be invited to the sick dual-dimension party between universes 1 and 2. So now EVERYONE'S invited! :-D

[@DCvsDJ]

I think PW-1 has evil intentions and PW-2 is sorta saying to the main universe “this could be you”. Notice how they said “are you human” in their second message. And that when 2 intercepted and main was trying to have the connection stopped, 1 said that they can’t stop it. Maybe 2 had a connection with 1 before and that’s what left them the way they are. Barren and dead

[@OuroborosChoked]

Some good ideas, but like a lot of "analog horror," I feel like the point is being missed. My issues with the name of the genre aside, it's supposed to be believable - an artifact the viewer shouldn't be watching. There should be a verisimilitude to it. Analog horror with a lot of animation or using CG environments will strike the viewer as obviously fictional and thus, not real. The verisimilitude also gets broken when the "recording" aspect breaks with how actual recordings function or when there are sounds where there wouldn't be. For example, there is a massive overuse of ambient noise to amp up tension in these... only it's not used diegetically. In The Signal, where's the rumbling chant coming from? If you were just recording a monitor showing the progress of the signals, how would that sound be there, especially with 1980s computer technology? As a viewer, I shouldn't be asking that question... yet, here I am. I'm taken out of the experience. Local 58 got these aspects right. They're presented as recordings of odd, disparate events that happened to get caught on video tape and the viewer is given no reason to question that. The artifacting of the video can be chalked up to either tape degradation or signal interference, never because "wouldn't it be creepy if...". It's also consistent with the _kinds_ of artifacting you find on either analog signals or digital signals. There isn't static on CRT computer monitors, for example. The only music you hear is either the station's muzak or something in the background of the hijacking signal. Again, it's never there because "wouldn't it be creepy if...". Less _is_ sometimes more. There's definitely potential in this format - Local 58 obviously proved that - but the potential isn't in "here's a creepy thing, but with video distortions." It's the verisimilitude that makes it work... and everyone who came after Local 58 seems to ignore that.
