Someone please give this man a budget and distribution for his next film. He’s essentially giving out a free MasterClass. Great work… wow

[@RockWILK]

Amen. ;)

[@zain670]

Exactly

[@rne1223]

Why doesn't the community raise the money? I am willing to put some money down.

[@zain670]

@@rne1223 People are afraid to loose

[@Landunofficial]

@@zain670are you sure… I think they’re afraid to tight

[@GawxArt]

This is amazing

[@D4Darious]

Thank you Bruh-bruh.

[@FuzzzyTV]

Amazing breakdown, I loved Unsound, the documentary, and now this masterpiece. You always inspire me and remind me why I love filmmaking.

[@samuelhodges6471]

This is such detailed of a break down. I am just amazed at how much coverage was captured and the whole project comes together flawless. The commentary is so good. This video alone should win an award for Best Docu Break Down. (If I may coin an award).

[@D4Darious]

Thank you Samuel

[@TAROLEANDO]

Man you out did yourself this is worth a ton. This is easily 2 semesters worth of film school and I’m only like 10 minutes in. Thanks 🙏🏼

[@D4Darious]

Thank you for the feedback Bruh-bruh. I was afraid this might be too dense but it seems that's not the case.

[@TAROLEANDO]

@@D4Darious no problem. And your delivery man, that’s what makes it so refreshing. You give solid insightful information in such a fresh new way that it makes it fun to watch and learn at the same time.

D4: whispers "darkness" Me: Flips laptop laughing.

[@jonathannewman4899]

Awesome awesome. Very inspiring...ive learned so much about filmmaking from your videos. 👏

[@D4Darious]

Thank you JP.

[@samrees337]

Dude this was amazing! Super insightful and inspirational as always.

[@tbarton00]

Won't get a chance to watch it until tomorrow night but just wanted to say congrats on just getting it done. Putting in the werk.

[@lacaraja]

Man, this is epic. Gracias!

[@NeekoFreeman]

I'm only 10 minutes in and I'm already blown away.

[@DavidBubarYT]

This gets me excited about filmmaking!

[@AustinJSmith2002]

Amazing. Can't wait to see 'How I made "How we shot an Award-Winning Film - Start to Finish" - Start to Finish'

This is INSANE!

[@danielatthemovies7554]

[@D4Darious]

Swoop-Swoop! Thank you, Doll! I'm taking a week off after all this lol. 🍻

[@LycanVisuals]

The amount of effort put into this just a minute in....sheesh.

[@BeccaLudlum]

Crazy effort!

[@njugunawainaina]

Couldn't agree more

[@pravthekumar]

This is a masterclass on efficient filmmaking, not a single wasted shot or element. The tone of the film works with the limitations of the camera and lighting, the ISO noise and not great color reproduction of kit lenses adds a grittyness and expression of mundane despair that compliments the story, although a part of me wishes you had tried some cheap fast primes to just bump the visual polish and dynamicism up a bit on certain scenes. You prove again and again that anyone can make an effective film at any budget level. Much respect, and you can bet ill be back here when Im planning my first microbudget feature.

[@stephanalliance7857]

I would pay to watch breakdowns of this quality on other movies.

[@njuenjagi4983]

how I wish BTS would be like this

[@BrandonBicasso]

30 minutes in and I’m just blown away at every detail that went into not only Unsound, but creating this breakdown. Whew! 🥵

[@D4Darious]

It's alot. I know lol. Thanks for sticking with it BB.

[@BrandonBicasso]

@@FutureG1190 True, I was as well 😂😂😂

[@itsmattshoup]

Darious this is hands down the greatest breakdown/behind the scenes I've ever seen!! Couldn't stop watching it was so engaging all the way through, and there's so much awesome information in it. This whole trilogy of Unsound has been some of the greatest content on KZbin!

[@BenThatcherMusic]

The editing alone most have taken a lifetime for this vid, dude, serious congrats!! 😁

[@D4Darious]

It did lol.

[@andrewhfilms]

@@D4Darious Where’d you learn to create those motion graphics in the video? Is there a tutorial you can send us to please?

[@akamrezaee]

@@andrewhfilms I think he hired someone to make that, this is not a skill you can learn easily.

[@ArdemisIII]

When you first said you were gonna do this I thought it was a dumb idea. You really put people on game on how to shoot a movie start to finish. This is now the starters blueprint.

[@D4Darious]

I agree. I thought it was a dumb crazy idea but I couldn't get it out of my head lol. Thank you for checking it out Malik.

[@clemenceWONDER]

wow those graphics and sound design is really good. Love the story telling.

[@D4Darious]

Thank you C wonder.

[@LeoGoodspeed]

Mate I just realised: your character is a filmmaker-why wouldn’t he have a clapper board in the passenger seat anyways? 😄 Thanks for this video, learned a lot ☺️☺️

[@damonmosier3651]

All these years and I never once thought of that explanation.

[@ILLATIT]

This breakdown deserves an award!

[@CryptoKartels]

Ikr

[@GabrielKnott]

I’m only 3 minutes into it and I’m in love with it. Great job, everyone working on the Unsound Trilogy! Especially you, Darious.

[@zagolaj]

I just paused to write the same thing.

[@demarcusfagan4569]

Bro I’ve been following you for a few years now. I’ve learned so much, I’m not ready yet but I hope to produce a film of my own in the next couple years. Thanks for your content.

[@D4Darious]

You can do it DeMarcus. 1 step at a time. That's all it takes.

[@proshooters1]

I have just finished watching this, and i have no words this is truly a masterpiece it explains everything thing so well, i will be taking notes the next time i will watch it. Im shocked. Well done man, All that hard work paid off for sure.

[@D4Darious]

I'm relieved you found it useful. I was beginning to think it might be too technical and specific. Thank you for commenting.

[@WaterhouseFilms]

It’s funny to think that I’m watching something for the first time that Darius has probably been watching everyday for over a year

[@chrissyd9995]

I was so hype to watch this when you announced it

[@Ari-xr2ye]

What an amazing resource! I'm only about halfway through, but I've already learned so much. This video really allows for audiences to learn almost as if they were shadowing you on set.

[@D4Darious]

That was the idea Bruh-bruh. Glad this is translating.

[@YoungBlaze]

This def was a flex to show off these amazing transitions and effects! and im HERE FOR IT

[@elimoranodicio4163]

I have waited for this ever since you announced it, and it came out at the perfect time for me (right after i finished the biggest filmmakin project of my life). When you posted the video about having to much on your plate, I related to that. You are a huge inspiration for thousands of young filmmakers like me. Thank you for that.

[@mohanacharifilms]

Holy shit bruhhhhh, first 3 minutes in and i realised why you took so long, ufff those animations are freaking gold

[@matthewhudobenko5985]

I marked this on my calendar and it finally here... looking forward to watching this. Thanks for all your hard work on this project.

[@D4Darious]

Thank you for tuning in Matthew. I hope the wait was worth it.

[@overcomersgroupllc.4198]

CONGRATULATIONS! THAT'S A LOT OF DETAILS AND WORK!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💯

Can we also get a breakdown of the breakdown? These graphics are killer

[@claudiaperez1025]

Right!!!!

I always love these breakdowns, and this is the best so far.

[@omkarkulkarni8918]

JUST WOW! You inspire me D4... Every fucking day!

This was really good quality, that you for doing this too, I'm trying to learn filmmaking at 15, just know that all your work was not for nothing! this was really helpful for me!

[@Abokistreetshow]

Woaw 2hrs video! This is going to be valuable! I love how good your audio is, do you have a video essay for audio editing and settings?

[@shorttalesproduction274]

commenting for engagement, thank you so much for this darious, i hardly ever comment on youtube videos but this one blew away my mind, i learnt a lot from this and it fueled a lot of inspiration in me. Thank you so much!

[@ctrice]

I clicked on this so fast! Can't wait to watch, bruh bruh!

[@ccoxcambodia]

Wow. I am 31 minutes in. It is cut together perfectly. Darious is brilliant at editing and story telling. All of the quiet moments and the long pauses fit the mood of the video. I am learning so much already. This is like an abbreviated Hollywood filmschool class. I am busy right now and must break myself away, but I will be coming back to this later. I have been sucked in!

[@D4Darious]

Thank you for chiming in Big Chris 🙏

[@lewisanderton8062]

2:44, I can't stop laughing. I just got the mental image of this thumbnail walking up to Darious, going "BOO!" and then Darious SCREAMS and craps a bunch of pickles.

[@D4Darious]

Lol

[@caleb_n]

I’ve watched 45 minutes so far and I’m holding strong! Gotta give my man dat watch time!

[@luccasangpur6527]

It's really interesting to see how much you improved between the short and the feature. Brilliant Film, now go and enjoy life man!

[@damonmosier3651]

To this day I hate that I used a 1k in the living room for the last scene. Total overkill compared to everything else we shot later

[@eduhernandez_Video]

Awesome!! the best Doc/breakdown/making of ever I have seen. Especially with the nightmare of Adobe driving you crazy. Dude, Congratulations

[@ignatzbenjamin7110]

This was clearly a massive project for you! I'm sure it was draining physically and probably more emotionally. I imagine that after completing this trilogy you feel very proud and I hope much lighter! Congrats and great work as always!

[@flint242]

Darius is giving away filmmaking techniques that people would charge money for, for FREE. God bless you bro 🙏🏾 KZbin should really push his videos up, straight to the top

[@joshdiditt]

It's only right. Now we need a BTS breakdown on how you edited this, lol. (You did it to yourself my boy). Great quality. Can't stop watching.

[@REMINACTV]

The wait is over. Appreciating the goodness

[@JasmineJ-SuDirector]

Thank you so much, Mr. Darious for this Start to Finish. I've been a subscriber of yours for a very long time. You have provided me with so many resources and tools throughout my process . I'm currently working on my first short. I'm in pre-production as I type. Thank you so much Bruh Bruh lol.

[@JoshuaMangrum]

Now we need a behind the scenes of this behind the scenes video 😂 Seriously the amount of work put into this is incredible, the transitions, sound design, graphics, etc… are all stunning If you ever did a 10-15min video doing an overview of how to do some of these graphics/titles/transitions it would be much appreciated!

[@willdebause5418]

Other films only give you 5-10 mins of a mediocre break down. But the whole film?!? In detail!?! ❤️❤️

[@anamikabarua3537]

You made the unsound trilogy i guess 1. Is about a mental family member 2.child abuse and toxic parents and 3. is going to be about a lost of a family member Or of a child big fan of you content you need more subscribers bro

[@JayRosalesFilms]

this is great. Job well Done

[@451asians]

5 minutes in and I KNOW i see some Jon Bois influence in this!!!

Man bro, I've been following you for a few years now. I'm really glad you're back man. I've gotten sooooo much better at making films now because of you.

[@Lonezewolflonewolf]

For a long time I wondered why it took producers so long to come back into society. But now having worked on a script myself, and completed one, I tottally understand.

[@dattvsmine2613]

Bro, just the editing on this breakdown video should win some sort of award

[@altvideo]

This is probably the best KZbin video I watched in several years. So much insight matchlessly presented. Lots of hard work in making it, great graphics. Have to be grateful for all you shared with us. Made me want to watch the movie now,

[@divinesoul7]

This was a whole Master Class fam. Excellent movie, amazing message and outstanding execution. Definitely one of my favorite movies.

[@netherlinefilms]

Thank you for everything you do man. This is legendary. I’ve learned so damn much from you it’s unreal. Hope you’re well after this monster.

[@HollyHargreaves]

Amazing breakdown. As a fellow filmmaker I can relate to making descions like character's color of clothing; stuff that the audience doesn't notice but adds detail to the film. 🌟🎥

[@D4Darious]

They sure do. Impact is all about the details.

[@joey.steely00]

The editing and overall visuals apart from the subject, are absolutely outstanding Darious. Please keep it up, you’re really a huge inspiration to me as an aspiring filmmaker also living in Arizona. Love everything you’ve done from the early stuff and it’s clear to see how much you’ve grown as an artist. Destined for great things man!

[@saunterfilms]
