I would actually love to have Mark as a director. The fact that he’s got the mindset to just trust his crew and to familiarize himself with the roles that each department play so that he won’t ask for something unreasonable or unrealistic is by far one of the best qualities a director can have. I’m sure everyone on the production team loved working with him and it was a really fun and productive shoot

It's hard no to get emotional, when you work on 'passion' projects - which is everything Mark does, lol. I'd be terrified to work under him, for fear of disappointing him lol.

[@KarnBlueEarring]

13:29 That was one of the most inspiring things I have heard in a long time. "In a lot of ways, it is a journey of trial and error, right? So you have your first project and it's garbage. It's garbage! It's so bad! Realize that making videos is a start of a neverending journey, of looking inward at yourself and measuring of what you're capable of doing, against an arena of people that have been doing it for years. It's like any creative medium, there are people in that field that are better than you are at that moment and that can be crippling. That can be devastating. *Understand that creation is not a comparative against those people; it's comparative against yourself. What you make next is only comparable to what you made before. Even if you haven't made anything, it's only comparable to what you made before, which is nothing. Therefore you have literally nothing to lose, by starting.* You can not fail just by making your first one."

[@dr4gonstear]

Mark is, even when talking normally to a friend, deeply inspirational and insightful. If anyone was ever going to motivate me to get into visual storytelling, it would be him. I'm not, but in an alternate universe out there somewhere, I just picked up a camera.

12:34 The way you both talk about becoming a director, sounds so similar to becoming a father. "Is this the way everyone else does it, or just the way I've chosen to do it?" "Am I doing this right, or just dancing the part?" If as a parent, if you're not occasionally asking yourself these questions; you should be.

[@TheTechAdmin]

@@kjj26k I'm right there with you buddy. My grandfather, my father and I, all got physically beat every day by our father. I have PTSD to the sound of keys jingling against a doorknob because my father beat me when he'd get home from work for no reason other than I still existed. I was 4 when I first had my ribs broken, and God only knows how many improperly healed bones I have now, since I never went to the hospital. I figured all of the men in my family said the same thing, "I'll be different than my dad". So I'm going to guarantee to break the cycle by just not having kids.

[@Sollace]

The ragdoll switches in In Space are so cheesy obvious, but that just makes me love it even more. 😂 It's those little details that really gives the production character.

[@lordomacron3719]

There is an art to Movie cheese. When done well it only enhances. It makes me think of those old Command and Conquer game with FMV cut scenes so full of cheese and tongue firmly in cheek. Now that I think about it they did get some relatively big name actors in those games and if you want bad acting to look good you need good actors.

[@lordomacron3719]

@Markipler if you mean me? I have no money only I have available to invest is time. By the way I am British and if you have not seen the classic British sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf, then I feel I must say watch it. Based on In Space I think you will love it.

Mark's monologue at the end really got me emotional. I've tried so many times to start drawing, learning after effects, or 3D art with Blender; and it's such a painful process for me. I have literally cried trying to put pencil to sketch book and I just give up because I think I'll never be as good as other people, but like Mark said; art is only self comparative. I should take that lesson to heart going forward. "What you make next is only comparable to what you've made before, Even if you haven't made anything; is only comparable to what you made before which is nothing, therefor you have nothing to lose by starting." - Markiplier

[@fabularis]

Three years ago I felt the exact same way about my art. I'm not saying I'm incredible now, but I've at least improved to the point where I feel decent about the work I've completed. Like, I can see plenty of room for improvement, but I don't feel embarrassed about someone seeing it. So keep going! You are going to be so, so happy you did. And, hey, in some ways having a critical eye can be a benefit -- you may not be where you want to be right now, but you know what you need to work on in order to get there. Just try not to beat yourself up while you're working on it. :)

[@computerfairy]

ive been learning after effects and blender as well, and honestly the most helpful thing has just been following tutorials on youtube. once you get enough under your belt you start to gain some muscle memory, and it’s the same thing with drawing. it’s an old saying of course but practice really does make perfect! good luck, and dont give up!

The story about the doors is hilarious to me because Star Trek TOS also had to scrap the motor plan and manually open them. 60 plus years and space ship doors are still just being yanked open by crew off screen. Sometimes the cheapest solution is the best solution.

[@DaniCal1forn1a]

Yeah... motors aren't the ideal solution for the doors tbh, if they really wanted a mechanical/pre-programmed method for it my first instinct would be using compressed air pistons... but then they introduce other issues like sound and potential reset time 😅. I can think of loads of potential ways to do it mechanically, but honestly just opening them by hand is the cheapest and simplest solution so I don't think it's worth it for a short term set anyway 😅

I've been watching Mark for longer than I can remember, and I never even looked into what his name meant. After hearing the meaning behind it, all I can say is that it's beautiful. As I think back to all his videos, projects, and everything else, I can see some of the effect that this vision of "Markiplier" had. While I'm not pursuing film making to bring my idea to life like Mark is, coincidentally I have my own dream or idea that I want to bring to life. It's been a struggle to believe in myself and that I'll be able to bring my idea to life, especially when I'm so incapable right now, but it's comforting and encouraging to know that I'm not alone, that it's possible to bring ideas to life, and also that it's okay to rely on other people. I don't know if I'll be able ever bring my dream to life, or if it will change, but I'm going to keep working towards it, one microscopic step at a time. Thank you for being you Mark.

13:31 "Realize that making videos is the start of a never-ending journey of looking inward at yourself and measuring of what you're capable of doing against an arena of people that have been doing it for years. it's like any creative medium there are people in that field that are better than you are at that moment and that can be crippling, that can be devastating. Understand that creation is not a comparative against those people, it's comparative against yourself. What you make next is only comparable to what you made before. Even if you haven't made anything, it is only comparable to what you made before which is nothing. Therefore, you have literally nothing to lose by starting. You can not fail just by making."

[@jiselletorres452]

i love this man. hearing him talk about his passion for creating is one of my favorite things. his words have so much inspiration and knowledge behind them. i just love how much he cares about the stuff that’s important to him.

[@Bomberlux]

I've never really watched Markiplier's content, I knew he was out there, I knew who he was and all, but man that speech at the end gave me chills. Mad respect, I'm sure that speech alone will inspire many people to start their journey, i loved every word of it!

[@commentarycrab9204]

I didn’t even think about all the hidden cuts that he and the editors had to do for space, it makes it even more impressive knowing that I didn’t notice a single hidden cut, which in vfx is truly the goal.

[@conormurphy4328]

No offence, but most of the cuts are very obvious

[@LizzardGirl713]

@@conormurphy4328 the cuts are in obvious places, which are easy to pick apart if you're looking for them. However, if you watch ISWM casually, the fact that the cuts never break the narrative inertia mean that they can easily be ignored.

[@aryamannsaini]

12:57 Onwards.... Literally Mark spitting facts *Very Inspired*

[@chromeatic788]

Those final words from mark about starting out were amazing. I’ve heard that message plenty of times, but the way he put it was just so much more impactful.

[@Jamanator9]

You can't deny that Mark is a really smart and motivated guy, like god dayum. Mad respect to the lad and all he has achieved. 😎👍🏾

[@glacity]

"Inspiration is the most valuable currency. If you can inspire someone to do something, they can move mountains." I'd never touched a camera, scripted, storyboarded, directed, produced, or planned and had little experience editing but after I watched In Space With Markiplier, I felt so inspired that I created my own short film with the resources my school lent me, (a DSLR and a laptop with Premiere Pro.) It's the thing that I am most proud of as of now. ISWM + working on my own short film has sparked a passion I didn't know I had for storytelling and it showed me just how much a person can do even with so little to work with if they're inspired enough to just go for it. I think I'm gonna be viewing inspiration very differently from now on thanks to Mark. I'm also glad that Ive been introduced to this channel through Mark. I'm loving the videos so far even if I am super late 👀

[@w0rm65]

The sliding door is exactly how they did it when making the older Star Trek series

[@boxandshades412]

The last 5 mins of this genuinely made me cry. It's just wholesome.

[@damiantasse8647]

You have to love when two massive inspirations that have entertained and kept you going for so many years come together and you see they appreciate each other as much as you appreciate each of them.

[@moloves3d]

I'm actually thrilled and happy that this video exist. As a creative in VFX and 3d animation, I feel so much related to what Mark went through on his journey in making this project. Much love to Corridor Crew!

[@mynamesajeff48]

this man deserve his own movie

[@Jokin_Jake]

That's actually insane! I had no idea that he knew vfx AND he learned it from Corridor Crew. Amazing

[@dropmixchamp2257]

We Need “VFX Artist React To Good and Bad CGI for Markiplier Projects”

[@ChilledBacon]

"understand that creation is not a comparative against others, its a comparative against yourself" damn

[@muigogitoultrasonic3947]

I remember the days that I would just rewatch Corridor's videos over and over again, they are so awesome at the time, i loved them so much. Even tho now, i didn't study the path of these subjects, i still enjoy them. This channel was my first on viewing after effects stuff and vfx stuff, slowing learning how it made, you never know when they will be useful in life, so just keep stocking them in. Keep your channel strong, Team Corridor😎

[@sladesledgesheep2490]

This is one of the most informative, interesting and inspiring collabs I have seen here on KZbin. Everything from the first person rig setup to the cost cutting techniques made me appreciate how much effort Mark and his team put into In Space With Markiplier, and the practical advice he picked up from Corridor crew. Love the work that has been put in with the master to the student dynamic, and I hope it really inspires me to do more creatively. Thanks so much guys!

[@Game_Erica]

I did not expect this in the slightest! I loved In Space With Markiplier a lot so I'm glad to hear Mark talk about it :D

[@jamminjosh13]

Inspiration from you guys is real. I've just landed my first job in the Industry at MPC all because I grew up watching both Corridor and Freddiew. Truly means the world that you guys do what you do and give so much inspiration. Can't thank you enough.

[@Alternateuniverse7157]

This makes me so happy to learn that mark learned everything from you guys Your work is so detailed and inspirational its only fair that the greatest web series on youtube learned its VFX from you all.

[@hicalebih8902]

13:19 - 14:42 is so inspirational… Thank you Mark

[@tk_the_onion]

this was pretty cool to hear about his improvement, his takeaways, and the learning experience as whole, that was just awesome

[@bryan.w.t]

I love the enthusiasm he shows, it’s definitely a big step into the directors seat and he’s proud of it

[@King_H]

That final speech at the end 13:19 was glorious. "It's a journey of trial and error right? So you have your FIRST project and it's... garbage. It's garbage, it's so bad. Realise that making videos is the start of a never-ending journey of looking inward at yourself and measuring of what you're capable of doing against an arena of people that have been doing it for years. It's like any creative medium, there are people in that field that are better than you are at that moment and that can be crippling. That can be devastating. Understand that creation is not a comparative against those people, it's a comparative against yourself. What you make next is only comparable to what you made before, even if you haven't made anything... it's only comparable to what you made before which is nothing. Therefore, you have literally nothing to lose by starting. You can not fail just by making your first one." Thank you Mark for your inspiration. You've helped me and many others grow.

[@runescaper1333]

I'm happy to see niko wearing a mega64 cap, they also taught the dudes to make vfx on their twitch driving streams

[@notabot5878]

Mark is such a wholesome dude

[@Desimor]

Chill Mark. That speech at the end almost made me explode with inspiration. I can only be filled with so much inspiration.

[@MageisHero]

I... cried a bit when Mark said how to get started and how you should only compare to yourself. Then he went on about how Corridor inspired him and I just got full of so much emotions because I haven't been able to start my projects due to comparing myself to existing works. That being said, I'm a lot more inspired and my doubts have been lowered.

[@RicoDerks]

One of the best episodes lately. Really inspiring and true words from Mark.

[@micahwest3566]

So happy that Mark gets to live his dreams. Looking forward to living mine too. Thanks for inspiring all of us, both of you.

[@tellot5458]

Seeing 2 of my favourite KZbinrs in the same video was SO EXCITING Also that was the best sponsored ad first line ever “another type of space, the square one”

[@Jimmy_Thump]

This video was amazing. I could listen to Mark talk about the creative process all day. He is so poetic haha it's calming and inspiring.

[@DesolateLavender]

I was waiting to have some behind the scenes for ISWM. This scratches that itch. Also, Mark has always been good at motivating people. What he said Corridor did for him, he's 100% doing for many other people. Video by video.

[@EricLefebvrePhotography]

Mark did a huge stream with tons of BTS. Look on his channel for his 10th anniversary video. It's ALL about ISWM.

[@DesolateLavender]

@@EricLefebvrePhotography Yeah, I watched the whole thing yesterday. It was nice.

[@CharlesJFilmsProductions]

that was so beautiful, and made me cry because marks sentiment is exactly where I am, and where I stand in my film career. I would not be here if Niko and Sam didn’t do it first. Thank you guys for being such amazing inspirations for the little guys ♥️

[@Blake-gh8xl]

His speech at the end about trying and not comparing with others but ur last project. Is really inspiring

[@camrynhamme]

Marks speech at the end is a lovely thread to pull on, it’s beautifully said and from the perspective of someone who is a veteran on the platform is all still seems so new to him. It’s awesome to see someone as passionate as him

[@powderphysics]

I really enjoyed this, almost a Directors React episode

[@namelessking1125]

Man, two of my favorite channels. Made my heart warm at the end there :)

[@laurarowland7294]

I love this so much, it means so much. I love that Mark was inspired by Corridor, and didn't know that before. It's great to see creators talk about how they've been inspired. I love both the channels, and aghghgh it's just so cool to see them chat about ISWM!!

[@neilvanilla]

Mark talking about talking to the other departments about the feasibility of certain aspects of making a film is something that's so underappreciated. I worked as a sound guy for years working on short films and commercials and I can't even count the amount of times certain mishaps could have been avoided if the director just ASKED if the thing they wanted was possible within the day. Looking forward to more of Markiplier's productions!
