It's so much fun seeing the creative thoughts behind things like commercials. It's not something you often think about as a viewer seeing a commercial, but seeing all the work everyone on the crew puts into it to making it makes you appreciate them a lot more. (And glad you're having a good time on ventures like this!)

[@VeryPiroPlayer]

Really nice to see a brand as big as Razer choosing you to create their commercial

[@_Not_Brian_]

the behind the scenes on such a short ad is so surprising when you realise how much effort goes into it, with storyboarding, framing, ideas, and creative solutions to challenges. it's pretty cool ngl

[@Evan-yz7sf]

I have little interest or ability to become a filmmaker, but if anyone could convince me to it would be Mumbo. Something about his enthusiasm and incredible writing makes these videos so damn interesting. Now I have to go buy a camera

[@VertexPlaysMC]

good cameras can be expensive, and new phones have good cameras with a lot of settings that are easy to use.

[@CoolScratcher]

I wish you luck :)

[@Vitamortis.]

if you're serious, if you want a camcorder I personally got the Vixia HF r800, its around like 400 bucks i got 1 for 300. nothing amazing but pretty good for casual filming. decent zoom bad with lighting.

[@txm1157]

happy to see you doing filmmaking and directing during your break mumbo! cant wait to see you recharged and back but take as much time as you need!

[@julianbaert]

THE MAN, THE MYTH, THE LEGEND HIMSELF, MUMMBOOOOOOO JUMBOO!!!

[@Kaybo_Real]

Mumbo, I’m so glad to see you back at it man. Pursue your dreams man, don’t feel obligated to make MC videos just for us. You only have one life, do what you want with it. Your ideas for advertisements are so abstract and different from any others like it’s kind. Keep it up man!

[@dan_936]

@@xrob_chapman391 SCAAAAAAAAM!

[@PainProjection]

Finally my 15year old monitor got 4:3 video to watch in true full screen without black stripes at the edges. Thanks Mumbo!

[@stormchazer3068]

Sorry, it might be personal, but everytime I see someone's houses interior and I like it, I have to mention it. And I love the way your house is decorated especially with all the plants, nice colours, open atmosphere and I can spot a nice bike. I also wanted to say that if you are ever cycling in the Netherlands (because we hsve very good bikelanes and we also have some areas with beautifull nature with nice cycle paths) I be happy to guide you in the area as I also love roadbiking.

[@lexiesheikh2393]

I don't personally understand the filming "mumbojumbo" but I love Razer's products. 😍

[@TheWizardsOfOz]

Mumboooo, this is so cool! Also those fixes are really funny. This is really behind the scenes, and really explain some of the things that has to be done for things such as movies and ads. Also I would buy that computer.

[@alysoffoxdale]

It's so lovely to see you being so thrilled about what you're doing! I love seeing behind the scenes like this, with the explanations of what's going on!

[@justissherwood9807]

Astounding camera work. I love listening to you describe how you set up the lights, because lighting really does make or break a shot, so it’s great listening to your creative solutions for creating the perfect shot. Excellent commercial, it’s always a pleasure to see the product of your love and labor!

[@KutsugeMindUrmoks]

It's so nice to hear your voice! Glad to see that you are still working on something

[@jumpingfrog2284]

It's so nice to hear such a familiar voice, it's been a while. Seeing you doing what you love doing makes me feel happy, I think we all need to see other hermits doing what they are passionate about to get through this dreadful week as the news about tfc is horrific 💓❤

[@catsandcrafts171]

I can't tell you how much I've missed the classic Mumbo 'which, I think we can all agree...' line. *sigh* Good to see you online, m'lovely.

[@keyboardmause]

he put an ad…. … *in an ad* … WHAT A GUY!

[@georgeterzterz902]

I love how the sponsored section doesn't sound sponsored and it sounds genuine

[@graysonofthewood3747]

This is cool. Thanks for sharing these behind the scenes kinds of things! I love your video style and it’s super cool to see the creative process

[@dukkiegamer1733]

I love that you shared that your first idea for the intro of the commercial was not a hit. Thank you so much

[@TheCocaineSamurai]

good to see Mumbo moving forward in life.

[@tayemdokany6931]

You really did a great job photographing the commercial.

[@ROBINWASHEREmag]

kinda seemed like an apple commercial but with a bit more pizazz which gave it the youthful razer feel

[@gravesmortuary]

This is awesome! I love that you're showing us behind the scenes stuff. The commercial looks great!

[@shallowphoenix]

I genuinely love seeing the process and progress from you. Your filming is amazing and it’s lovely to see what goes into making commercials like these.

[@shadowcattt]

I am very fascinated by the behind the camera information as always, but simultaneously I am in awe of your houseplant collection

[@kylejtam]

I had NO IDEA Mumbo was behind this commercial. Been seeing it everywhere on KZbin. I just want to say hats off to you Mumbo.

[@impockets]

even the shots of just you talking looked insanely good, this is so cool to ser

[@coastalbeaches7181]

You inspire me to do things that I'm genuinely passionate in, thank you mumbo

[@donnycosby3917]

Wow, love the behind the scenes look and the detailed info on the setups. Keep up all the wonderfulness Mumbo!

[@kire9891]

Completely unrelated to the *point* of the video, but your not-office room with all the plants and light looks like a peaceful and amazing place to hang out. And film, although I'm sure as someone who films professionally the light balancing would be outrageous for daily use. Loved the commercial and your way of going about imagining it!

[@kire9891]

Addendum - was the whip cut with the hidden cut inspired by Scar's Elven twirl? Because both of you execute it so well!

[@FlourishPorridge]

Awesome video mumbo, I love seeing your process. This is one of the best behind the scenes videos I've watched as an aspiring filmmaker.

[@RDBLOOMFIELDPHOTOGRAPHYLLC]

Love seeing the thought process behind the final product. As a fellow creative I appreciate when individuals do these types of videos!

[@EllieBonanza]

You did such an incredible job on the commercial!! Getting to see the process of creating the commercial and the thoughts behind each shot is always super cool!! This video has me really looking forward to my media production course at uni- it reminded me of how fun the filmmaking process is!

[@waffleprocrastinates]

Beautifully done! I learned a lot from this! I had a friend ages ago who was an actress, and she had told me a bit about the process she went through filming, but I never really considered the entire actual making of the commercial. It's so easy to be annoyed watching commercials because they interrupt whatever we had previously been watching, but we don't really consider all the effort that goes in to it. I also love how passionate you are about film making! it's very inspiring.

[@animalmango6499]

This is so cool dude. you get to make bigger comercials now.

[@theonebman7581]

Behind-the-scenes content is always awesome. Missed ya man, thanks for showing us this stuff - hope your break is going alright :D

[@MathiasLauber]

I love these behind the scenes videos. I just finished my very first holiday job setting up a studio and it's so cool being there in person. I appreciate your work

[@Chirpy-eo8jq]

Oh! It’s so cool to know you filmed that! I remember seeing the commercial for the first time being like, dang, that was cool. I only really noticed the logo at the end, which was also refreshing Impressive that it managed to stick in my head for so many months

[@Bluestonezee]

As always, it's a joy to watch your artistic videography, and twice the fun to hear your perspective on the creative process. Sharing setbacks and blunders may feel embarrassing on your end, but fellow artists NEED to see that successful projects don't always go smoothly. When we're tearing out our hair in frustration, it helps a bit to remember that the professionals we admire also have panic-inducing moments and ideas that flop. On a personal note, may I say how pleasant it is to see you looking a bit more relaxed and happy after a change of pace. I am looking forward to whatever project brings you joy!

[@ndngal143]

Thanks for sharing! Always enjoy watching the behind the scenes. Fascinating to witness the creative process and how people can overcome problems that occur :D

[@CageNightwind]

I have a bad history with my (one) Razer product and customer support... But I'm happy and excited for you for such an opportunity...and I love seeing the process. Good on ya, Mumbo.

[@Solarivm]

YOOOOOOO I loved that ad so much happy to hear about your creative process :D

[@Kimber88LP]

This was a fun video to watch. I love seeing all the behind the scenes stuff, and learning about the thought process behind productions. I've often said I could watch a two hour movie on the making of a movie. From finding set locations, to make up and customes, to lighting and camera placement, why this was that way and not another way, and whatever else there is to learn. It's fascinating. Thank you for showing us how you made the commercial. Oh and you really look happy explaining it, and that's awesome to see.

[@sgtskidz]

"Hold my beer babe!!! 🍺 Stop what you're doing! Mumbo released a new vid!!!!"

[@Ben-pd3ef]

WOW, INCREDIBLE

[@jeffbrown4382]

I have so enjoyed watching you become the person you are. Thank you for sharing with us, the struggle and the result. Peace be with you, sir.

[@dazzmead007]

Helloooooo Mumbo! Hope you are well dude. Hope your bike ride to Rome is a success and you have a great time but also stay safe 👍

[@joshrenall6681]

Best part of a show/movie is the behind the scenes work. Showing how it was pieced together and all the work that goes in to make it look how it is....Mumbo well done. I loved watching your filming talent grow over the years it very statisfying. Keep up your amazing work,cant wait to see what future projects are in stall for you.

[@user-me5ng2rv8p]

Love to see the creative flow and little things that happen during the production. Very nice video:]

[@steinrimbaut9736]

Awesome video, @Mumbo! It's always nice to see BTS stuff of how people create stuff. Stealing with my eyes and listening to the secrets of how to achieve certain things.

[@1foxtrotfan907]

When I've watched movies, TV, or commercials in the past I didn't put to much thought into how much goes into the making of a commercial so thanks for the behind the scenes view and keeping us posted in what your up too. It's sad to see you move away from what we love you most for but you can't stop greatness and I have a feeling that movie is out there waiting for your creative genius. Have a fantastic day Mumbo.

[@Cats.and.sadness]

Its honestly so cool hear about your hobbies!! We've missed you i hope you've been having a great break

[@sapphicselkie1361]

mumbo content my beloved ❤ this is such a cool behind-the-scenes vid. there's so much that goes into filmmaking that viewers don't even realize is a thing.

[@Mommaraikes]

This was really interesting. Thanks for sharing the commercial and the behind the scenes. You did an amazing job.

[@smoothiedeluxe7422]

This vid was my jam. Loved it. Would totally watch more things about this form you. It was really well presented and sequenced.

[@abkestudio]

Awesome commercial Mumbo!! I loved it!

[@neo5216]

So cool to see all the work that goes into things like these behind the scenes

[@bethanymcfarling]

I totally wasn't just going to watch someone else and then went "Drop everything I'm watching this"

[@forgottenmachine806]

The ad is gorgeous! I didn't realize that all this thought had to go into things like that and I'm so glad you shared it with us!

[@Asylia5911]

I love seeing all of Mumbo’s projects and seeing how much he’s been branching out

[@mystieflower]

hi mumbo!! this is so cool!! I’m so proud of everything you’ve done so far and I absolutely love behind the scenes stuff! I hope you’re enjoying your traveling trips and I hope you have a nice day :]

[@PooterOfficial]

Mumbo’s back!!!!! Love your cinematography Mumbo.

[@UpNorth3390]

Congratulations! I no nothing about filmmaking but thought the commercial was very good. It blows my mind how much work goes into just a single shot. Well done and the laptop looks pretty amazing. 💕

[@thebeckydodd]

I always enjoy getting to know some of your thoughts and processes behind your work, sir...thanks for sharing! Super interesting.

[@framedragged]

For passion for directing/cinematography really comes through in these videos. Wishing you the best pursuing it to your heart's content!

[@pdbrighteyes2024]

I have always enjoyed your content since day one whether it’s you being Mumbo or you being Oli and living life to the fullest in all your varieties of life! ❤

[@JosephSchmidtfan]

Excited to see that you’re finding lots of ways to express your creativity. Sending best wishes!

[@ferniferousfern]

I understood maybe 10% of this, but enough to understand you got the specific, artsy vibe you were going for, congrats!

[@Ringohulk777]

Mumbo I love this type of video. I really enjoy seeing your creative process

[@peteroetting3528]

So glad to see you're still being creative. Glad to have you back.

[@xenohiraeth]

Good to see a Mumbo video! I'm a game developer mostly focused on the graphics pipeline. My daily driver laptop is the Razer Blade 17. It's professional looking, powerful, and of high quality construction. I've recommended the laptop to others in creative professions, but your ad really hits the point home. It's a great product!

[@lucid_walking9619]

Glad to see you back and glad to see you doing filmmaking👍

[@qubik5181]

Seeing mumbo happy is a game changer for me

[@maithax6962]

Learning all the behind the scenes is so fascinating!

[@Skypost4ever]

I always love seeing your videography videos

[@acerniss]

Watching your creative process behind these commercials is really cool, especially when delivered this way. It’s really interesting!

[@anidfan2]

I don't often think of the work and creativeness that goes into commercials , this is a good insight 😁

[@marniejane11]

This was incredibly interesting... and, let's be honest, it was just so good to hear your voice again. 😊

[@rmccauley78]

I love your enthusiasm, it is contagious. Of course, what you said was of some unknown language to me. Love it just the same.

[@winebird8952]

I didn’t realize how badly I needed some Mumbo. Thanks for putting this together!

[@qocket]

Top 10 most epic come backs of all time.

[@unknownvariable2456]

They took a risk hiring a guy who used to be known for lacking any artistic talent and being helpless when it came to visuals, but I guess he's improved a lot over the years and they get lots of publicity from him uploading a video about it on his own channel. Good on him for massively improving himself.

[@illmamnim]

I love seeing the creative process of areas I'm not familiar with! Wonderful video and beautiful commercial

[@ronanelm2644]

Incredible work mumbo! Love to see it

[@rafe7678]

You've literally just filmed two commercials now lol. Loved watching the first one though, it was really well done

[@Sunnyreads8]

Loved the behind the scenes. So much effort that I'm only beginning to realize watching your videos. Thanks for the education.

[@sireoh]

with a film degree this video really inspired me as it took all the concepts i learnt and came together to make this video

[@deffthebarnowl8552]

You did an incredible work! I love colors and all of this so much!!!!

[@affetheman]

So interesting to see all the creative choices and changes that happen before and during the shooting of a professional video! I’ve never really thought that thoroughly for the planning of any film, but I guess it comes with the money.

[@thespudlord686]

Good to know you're okay, Mumbo Been missing your videos on the main channel, but if you're taking a break from it, take all the time you need I want you to feel like you're making quality content, which you are

[@nalapurple9928]

MUMBOOO we missed you sm and this looks amazing

[@musiciancharlie]

Just knowing that rn hes doing stuff he loves without feeling pressured to do it is enough for me:)

[@MissGVS]

Kind of fun to see the creative process of producing a commercial. And you are correct. More ports are a must!

[@iammicrowave]

Mumbo, you are truly a marvel superhero when it comes to editing and content as a whole

[@arslanhassan1533]

It's such a relief hearing his voice after a few months. I love your content. Waiting eagerly for your return.

[@vinnhansen]

I really love the wide angels. They had a very nice touch to it and gave the video the mumbo-video feeling

[@Respectable_Username]

Our Mumbo's a proper professional filmmaker now! Can't wait to see your projects get bigger and bigger until we find ourselves heading to the cinema to see your work on the big screen 😄

[@fidelianerina]

I am so proud of you! This is such a major step. When is the big film you get to direct coming? I'll happily risk going to a movie theater to watch something you made.
