How to make a wildlife documentary...with no wildlife

[@TommoCarroll]

Honestly, I say honestly A LOT. Taking better names for the fake documentary here, best one wins a cookie 👇

[@Corporis]

My Impressive Elephant Noises

[@chilledcarrot796]

Your name should be called… KZbin Wildlife, (since it’s on KZbin.)

[@puce_4280]

The Tale of the elephants and the insects.

[@NieriOne]

That title's already perfect though?

“I’m pretty impressed by my ability to make elephant noises” - Tom

Put it on my grave stone

[@guiorgy]

Wow, that's... uhhh... certainly a skill to... be proud of...

Aspect Nature?

[@generationzee13]

I bet you didn’t actually call David Attenborough. You’d have to pay more than a little call to get it. Amazing trailer, but one question. Did you actually pay David Attenborough for the trailer.

[@TommoCarroll]

Haha no, I hired a voice actor for it!

[@StefanMilo]

That elephant through the bog roll was legit fantastic

[@TommoCarroll]

Thank you my friend, my career as an elephant will soon begin Also, I need to know your supplier of 1 metre wide bog roll please

[@zacharyt.4348]

I used entirely just stock footage for this 5 minute film on a project for school a couple years ago; got an A+

[@TristanSharman]

Tom if you don't have a future in nature documentaries you've at least got a future in ASMR, the sound design was sweeeet

[@Quango1226]

This is a fantastic video Tom!!! Glad to have taken part in it - For anyone who hasn't, join the discord!

[@TommoCarroll]

I agree with this message 👆

[@vinedarbunit6733]

Could not have agreed more !

[@johnlime1469]

God damnit I missed a lot of his videos after he changed the channel name. I mistook his name for Tom Scott, making me think that I've already watched the suggested videos of his coming up on my feed lol. He's come a very long way since the Austin McConnell thing. I thought for a second that he was going to use vfx or something. Walking with Dinosaurs, WW Beasts, and WW Monsters has a really good narrator as well. And some cool and sometimes iconic handheld shots of extinct creatures.

[@silvertheelf]

That’s an illegal title.

[@TommoCarroll]

I live life on the edge

[@silvertheelf]

@@TommoCarroll lol

[@CorneliusQuiring]

I'm gonna say at least a 6 / 5 on the final result for the mere fact you used just stock footage. I think you should post the just the trailer with no context and see what the result is.

[@Squishydew]

I think the lead up to the trailer had a massive impact on my reaction to it. I feel like i would've felt more emotional if i wasn't in a mode where i was "Ready to judge this thing" Awesome work though :D fun video too.

[@TommoCarroll]

Haha that’s fair! Join the discord and you can join in with things like this, the tribe over there got to experience the trailer with no lead up!

[@slyfox0086]

Wait was that a David Attenborough deepfake or impersonator?

[@DJDavid98]

So either whoever did the narration was an impersonator from some place like Fiverr or there was shockingly little respect and credit given to the actual David Attenborough who you seem to have on speed dial

[@TommoCarroll]

I guess we shall never know

[@raulrus9026]

He just collected voice samples of David Attenborough from the internet

[@TommoCarroll]

@@raulrus9026 nope! Hired a voice actor 👍

[@raulrus9026]

@@TommoCarroll that voice actor is impressive

[@harryithink5336]

It breaks my heart that these videos aren’t getting the exposure they deserve… Your videos are just the highlight of my day! Keep it up

[@TommoCarroll]

I appreciate that! I’m going through a few changes in style of content, including this one, so I can expect views to be very low for at least a little bit!

[@bananeboum]

KZbin didn't show me that until today, even tough I'm on here everyday and subscribed

[@TravisGilbert]

6:49 - 7:01 is out of context ASMR

[@huonghayley]

Did u really talk to Sir Attenborough? 🥺

[@wariare12world95]

bruh...only 17 hundred views??? you should have got atleast 50k in the first day...you are so underrated!

[@TommoCarroll]

Haha thanks, this video is verrrrrry different though so I expected a flop. Lots more videos soon though

[@skebu2565]

Man I love your videos, always brightening up my day ;)

[@ghaamidabdulbasat3747]

Haha, this is amazing. You just made my indoor Climate Video series that i founded in 2018 become a reality. Im getting back to business!!

[@legoworks-cg5hk]

Did i just watch… a 10 minute ad for stock footage?

[@Master_Therion]

Wow, that Foley was really good. We should call you Tom Foley, although that sounds a bit like "tomfoolery." Although making noises with random objects can be considered tomfoolery, so maybe it fits ;)

[@fenokineza6259]

I thought you gonna just record empty field and say something like: "cheetas are one of the most common predators here, their population is...." so on and so on. That would be funny 😳.

[@rowan-paul]

Okay so I didn't even notice anything weird except the title when participating in the survey😂GG, great vid

[@vinedarbunit6733]

You're from the discord aren't you ?

[@rowan-paul]

@@vinedarbunit6733 yeah!

[@najrenchelf2751]

Yeah, Foley is basically ASMR in a „professional“ context sometimes...

[@arieleliasov]

Why does the elephant make a roaring noise? 8:50

[@TommoCarroll]

BECAUSE I'M AMAZING AT MAKING ELEPHANT NOISES (also, check out some elephant noise videos, they don't just make the trunk trumpetting noise!)

[@austinfull8941]

Is that Charlie Hopkinson doing the narration?

[@davidianhowe]

Tom , this was awesome man! Super impressed with the sounds.

[@aashitAgrawal]

I am going to make a video, without a camera

[@Predator-watch-yzw]

How make a wildlife documentary video from KZbin channel 😢😮

[@Systox25]

Only 3.2? 4 minimum Check you calculation or if the video in discord is the same we just saw!

[@AnyZee]

We need a full behind-the-scenes video of your foley process 🥺

[@TommoCarroll]

Haha! It was basically me just slapping random objects for half an hour

[@johnthefool8462]

I didnt know you made that i really thought that was real

[@TheHillDragon]

did your phone die before you finished that last bit?

[@shrinivaspatil299]

OMG!!! You are so happening 😂😂

[@gheromesilvestre7803]

You must now realize the foley of your ways

[@Meikulish]

Elephant tube was a big success wow

[@41-Haiku]

Heckin Bamboozled!

[@likebot.]

I see why so many videos have the Gaspé Peninsula in mirror image. Those are the ones looking for stock footage of Earth from space and TIFO StoryBlocks owns this unique one.

[@vinedarbunit6733]

The editing of the video is so cool !

[@slvsoph]

Crazy how this only has 12k views! Love the video, and it was certainly emotional and well made

[@goose8580]

I loved the trailer and I genuinely felt like I was about to watch a real full budget documentary

[@1.4142]

Sound effects are cool

[@bjarnes.4423]

I think the Sound Design is shit, the rest is quite well made

[@Yeldineyintun]

Was that really DA???

[@arieleliasov]

Just told I need to isolate. great that you uploaded!!!!

[@TommoCarroll]

Ah perfect timing! (Sorry to hear that)

Bro, why do you have velcro stripes all over your laptop...

To stick hard drives to the back of it!
