Marques and Andrew sit down with Sam and Micah of SoKrispyMedia to discuss the visual effects from the viral 'Squid Game' video with MrBeast.

If only youtube had a feature like Spotify wrapped, I could have tagged the studio about my favourite podcast being the waveform podcast! 😁

[@broketostoke]

Wait, this podcast is YT only? THEY ARE MISSING AN OPPORTUNITY! INFINITE MONETIZATION LOOP ENGAGE!

[@petern1575]

Its Wrapped, not unwrapped. Wrapped as in a annual wrap up of what you're listening to.

[@imperial-gamer]

@@broketostoke no its not

[@joshentertainment2]

Waveform is in my top 5 podcasts

[@yousefhawi]

@@broketostoke no. It is not only KZbin

[@Skirata]

Awesome to hear both guests share the stage here. The Colin and Samir episode was almost frustrating in the one-sidedness.

[@MylesKillis]

It’s always gonna be a good one when there is a collaboration

[@JasonEllins]

Its always gonna be a good one. :)

[@jaforewit]

Marques: "I haven't seen Squid GameS" me: "yep, i know 🤦"

[@bloomfilms]

I hate to be 'that guy' but when people say it with an S I'm just so thrown off also. > Same for Communication majors. It's not CommunicationS - so you don't make the same mistake I did lol

[@AzimsLives]

me: wtf is wrong with u Marques

[@bruceburner5554]

looool fr

[@korona277]

This is by far my favorite interview and video guys have done . Great guests and conversation!! #teamcrispy

[@TohirT]

Fascinating to see how more creators adopt this technology! We live in such an exciting time!

[@drewlipps]

Happy Birthday MKBHD! Awesome WVFRM Episode! Great conversation!

[@pl9845]

Spatial audio bit was cool ;)

[@nlksh]

I usually always spot VFX but this I didn't even know had VFX

[@broketostoke]

IVE HAD THE IDEA OF VR/AR MOVIES FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS! ITS GOING TO BE HUGE! Imagine going to Laser Tag, but instead, it's James Bond, and you can pick a role and play as a character in a movie with an entire universe that's ongoing and developing... It's like open world game servers, when you log in, you aren't playing from a start, you are adding to the ongoing story.

[@Kevon420]

That’s just a VR game.

[@CallMeVidd]

VR games have existed for years now

[@carminello92]

The realization at 35:00

[@jake809]

My favorite episode!

[@imperial-gamer]

TGIF! Happy Birthday Marques!

[@naveen77able]

i dont listen to WVFRM but every episode i tune to looks amazing

[@gumerzambrano]

How does this only have 20k views? Their insight was phenomenal

[@REVIEWSONTHERUN]

Interesting! Thank you for sharing it. ✌️

[@hamza-chaudhry]

42:23 The foundations are already being put in place by Netflix who are creating their own video games which goes alongside their content

[@BrendansReasons]

The guy on the left did the first try looking, so that gave him an advantage on the following tries as well. The guy on the right was trying his best to touch type every time

[@connorlackey8439]

Andrew, love the Teddy Fresh sweatshirt, big fan of h3!

[@ryanduggan7632]

Happy birthday Marques!!

[@BrendansReasons]

15:15 that's what performers feel

[@samirsuleiman2949]

These guys are reallyyy dope.

[@omix]

You guys should have seen the series first! The magic of Mr. Beast video happens after seeing the real Squid Games series, because you can realize how accurate all the sets are comparing them with the real ones.

[@BrodeyH]

Yep 100% the best thing is HOW accurate the sets are

[@MrsJustKarii]

I really thought it was all real, knowing how crazy mr. beast is... So they did an amazing job!!!! Wow!

[@Flor-ian]

4.894 is my best time! Good job guys

[@framesfc]

Happy bday Marques

[@gowdham]

Happy Birthday Marques

[@AmineKouki]

I know I am being a whiny KZbin commenter. And you guys are creating great content. But can you please separate the numbered podcast episodes from the interview episodes? I would rather listen to the podcasts with the tech updates. Lew later tried the same and recognized that it wasn't the best approach and went back to the original format.

[@CNoel]

Happy birthday, Marques!

[@derekmedeiros]

So excited so this video…

[@hamza-chaudhry]

49:45 The guy on the left was practicing. That's not allowed isn't it?

[@Neuri]

My girl was absolute lightning at the alphabet as she types out A to Z at work for tattoo fonts ha

[@heyheyhey520]

This video should just be called pre-vis

[@armaanghosh3573]

Happy Birthday 🥳

[@spencerh.5830]

Andrew rocking that Teddy Fresh 🔥

[@hemanthkumarkamma6121]

I was hoping there would be a segment related to Spotify wrapped, guess you might have filmed this in advance, and also would be inappropriate to talk about it with the guests

[@malsesto]

But why should they talk about spotify wrapped? I mean it's nothing new in tech...

[@heyarnold21]

Happy Birthday MKBHD 🎉🎉🎉

[@petern1575]

Am I the only one bothered by how many times they call it Squid Games instead of Squid Game?

[@udayshnkr420]

Yes. Just you.

[@chillu420]

Where's eric

[@BrendansReasons]

spatial audio

[@MA-fh7ui]

i didn't even watch the Mr beast video, i only watched the making off, and I learned a few things

[@smritimondal1057]

[@photosbyant]

The BTS video on SoKrispyMedia channel is insane. It really puts into perspective the Scale and Man/Woman power behind those videos. They did an outstanding job and I hope they are involved in more things of the sorts.

[@ultraracer]

Epic

[@osamakhatri]

Wanna see a episode with peoples from corridor crew

[@Sir.Craze-]

By looking through cracked binoculars. ...You know. _Bad optics._ Du Dum Tish. I'll be here all week

[@broketostoke]

One day I will be on Waveform. That's a Goal. I'm practicing my ABC's everyday now lol...

[@broketostoke]

*currently top 5 if I get on Waveform.

[@BrendansReasons]

It's so weird to hear my name exactly as it's pronounced. I never mind someone saying Brandon, but that means I rarely hear it pronounced how it is in the home and it's kinda nice.

[@ashutosh4081]

Hey I'm watch and 31 million my system

[@prasadt772]

I bet you guys haven't seen Squirt Game. There's no vfx there for sure 😂

[@ryanduggan7632]

First comment

[@ashutosh4081]

at starting of mr beast video i thought they are on real set in korea which made me think the real set can be in america with korean actors but i never thought that it was vfx

[@phanuellaurent]

Damn I didn't even know that video existed 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️ still not watching it🤣🤣

[@jimmyjimmy-jim4500]

Not first comment more like 10th

[@darcytaylor8168]

I can do better than 11 with one finger /:

[@jigneshgc]

Sorry I can't watch Mr Beast videos.

[@dinocupdc7160]

Don't wanna hear about Mr beast here, I come for tech not Mr beast

[@laupao2595]

Haters gonna hate. 🤡
