The Making of IMMORTALITY - Noclip Documentary

[@gustavohmalvares6964]

knowing that Charlotta has seen Jacob Geller's video really makes me happy, what a tremendously talented artist she is, she deserves all the recognition in the world!

[@TANG3RINE95]

Could I get a timestamp for that please?

[@banjolasse6169]

@@TANG3RINE95 It's around 1:15:12. She doesn't state it outright, but she mentions "that youtube channel" and Noclip added Geller's footage, so I think it's fair to assume they were talking about that one in particular.

[@doasitellyouu]

@@banjolasse6169 Not to mention I remember seeing her in the comment section of that video.

[@MasDouc]

It's adorable she says she can go there when she's feeling insecure

[@LeoVader]

the most wonderful thing about patreon is that it lets fans fund magnificent coverage like this that is a work of art in itself, and then after 90 minutes the credits start rolling and the first words you see are A Funky Potato

[@kides6537]

quickly followed by 'a potato'

[@MasDouc]

1:15:00 was so sweet, its crazy she thought people werent going to find her. She was pivotal to the game and absolutely crushed her role. I hope she's a part of everything Sam Barlow makes going forward, Charlotta deserves all of the success.

[@BodeFuceta]

charlotta is a force of nature, what an incredible actress. It's hard to even believe that she made The One, such and brutal is the difference between the character and her in this documentary

[@gschoenhoff]

This game has occupied so much of my headspace over the last year. This felt like a really good piece of closure for me.

[@lukethemaster93]

Came here to write exactly this. Thanks to the Noclip crew for this project as it gives us a view on the game from its creators.

[@MasDouc]

Complete masterpiece. I just finished it myself and got every single clip and platinumed it... I won't forget it anytime soon.

[@kaosnite]

You guys chose a great shooting location for the interviews. Your description from the noclip podcast was spot on.

[@YaBoiBigNutz]

Legit though, been so hyped for this because of the podcast and from the first few seconds I was like wow this is exactly what I was picturing.

[@BonsaiBeard]

I thought that was just the O'dwyer residence 😅

[@Lupinvej]

If they ever do a physical release, this Noclip documentary should come bundle with it. Like Second Sight does for blu rays.

[@TheCommandoSnail]

Making this game must have been so cumbersome, just hearing about the fact that there are 3 full scripts to each of the fake movies, holy fucking shit.

[@nanatake2go]

that transition @6:10 🤯 Immortality was my GOTY last year, can't wait to learn more about it!

[@taffy55]

Seriously, that transition was so well done. Bravo to the noclip team for pulling that off. I 100%'d Immortality and I still wasn't expecting it.

[@mega17]

The directing, scheduling, and acting that went into all this is phenomenal and deserves rewards in and of themselves.

[@bross92]

WOW you guys really hit it out of the park with this one. It’s such a vast game with so many new elements to cover (acting, costuming, sets, etc) for the NoClip team, yet it feels so freaking tight and well put together like you’ve been making these kinds of documentaries all along. Amazing work! Other notes, 1) I was actually expecting a jumpscare with switching to The One during the credits; that’s how much this game has me in its clutches 2) I really appreciated the stress / worry that Charlotta went through during this process; almost all of her scenes are more intense / emotional and it seems she’s an actress that really experiences the role, so absolutely props to her for putting so incredibly much into one of the most uniquely standout characters of any media I’ve seen 3) Danny killed it with the interview location; freaking gorgeous backdrops 4) I swear I could just listen to Sam talk about film for hours, his depth of knowledge and expression of that knowledge is just *chefs kiss*

[@raputha1148]

Jacob Gellers Video made me play this game and i absoluteley loved it. Charlotta Mohlin especially was so mezmerizing. I think about this game every so often. It feels important.

[@MasDouc]

It's truely unique

[@TehPwnographer]

I’m not in a place right now where I can financially support the channel, but I am so grateful to all the Patreon backers that help make this amazing content and preservation possible!

[@anymorexx]

The game is such an immersive and thrilling experience. Sam Barlow did a great job. So psyched to see the documentary! Thank you guys a lot for doing this.

[@fireballs7346]

Its poo

[@peterring2714]

Manon was superb in every role. I wish her luck for the future.

[@AdrianWoodUK]

Watching a documentary with behind the scenes footage from the development of a game about watching the behind the scenes footage of the development of several films. This is an Immortality expansion pack, and no-one can tell me otherwise.

[@owdoogames]

Spot on. The other DLC is Jacob Geller's analysis video... almost as mesmerising as The One.

[@dersechstetyp]

oh god, how many more times is immortality gonna make me cry, just from the overwhelming emotions of it all. amazing documentary.

[@wesleydunkerton]

Just need to shout out you guys going the extra mile in editing to make an incredible documentary even better with the little touches of the rewind and match cut transitions from the game. Keep up the incredible work!

[@YTWanderer]

When you occasionally get goosebumps and shivers sent down your spine by watching a documentary about a game you`ve played, it`s safe to say that said title has left an impression on one`s mind...

[@nighttrain1319]

Gaming moment of the year for me was playing through this and first encountering The One. Only time I can remember playing something that actually *shocked* me

[@therupoe]

yeah it gave me intense goosebumps when i first figured it out

[@owdoogames]

I had watched Jacob Geller's video about this game last year, but only just got round to playing it myself. Even though I knew what to expect, it still gave me spinetingles uncovering each of the hidden clips that I did. And seeing that pivotal scene of The One singing/miming... totally devastating.

[@cerrobueno]

I was already blown away by the actors whilst playing the game, particularly because most of the scenes are so long and one mistake could mean going all the way back to the beginning, but having now watched this I have even more respect for everyone involved seeing just how complex the behind-the-scenes work was. Especially Manon Gage, considering how versatile her performance was - she deserves all the accolades.

[@111Malefic]

This is the best video on this entire website. Everyone and everything is SO on point. They all get it like we did. They're all excited like we are. It's just pure joy coming through my screen and I'm screaming of happiness right now

[@GregPivo87]

Playing Immortality was an *experience*, I really loved it. Great doc, especially enjoyed the Acting (Part Two) chapter that gets into prop guns on set & of course how the intimacy scenes were handled. Super interesting look at the more intense parts of the game / filmmaking process here.

[@flameflyer42]

And if anyone's interested, Manon Gage is also on Twitch!

[@SullyWar]

Her Story is probably one of the best game experience I've ever had and to hear the creator's process is really fascinating. Thank you NoClip!

[@Nyissan]

Never heard of this game, did what you suggested and went and played it, amazing experience. Now this doc is the cherry on top. Thanks for introducing me to an amazing game!

[@mistressfannypack9184]

I love everyone involved with this game, especially Charlotta and Ty. Manon Gage is amazing too. Can't get enough of this genre 😩

I would not be surprised if the actors will use this documentary in their portfolios. Outstanding work, as per usual, NoClip!

[@lawendt]

It's amazing. The documentary just went by. I could watch hours more. Tks no clip and tks sam barlow and crew for immortality, one of the top games ever

[@tayovy]

I adored Immortality. I couldn't get it out of my head for days, even after I finished. One of the best, most captivating games I've played. I hope to get the opportunity to see both Charlotta and Manon in more projects, they both possess such talent.

[@coughingparsnip]

Even though you warned about spoilers I think you've done incredibly well at minimising them - although I haven't played the game yet it hasn't discouraged me from giving it a go.

[@PersonWMA]

Very cool you got to do this. As you say, it's not typical to interview a film crew about a video game. Three whole movies, written, just for one game. I hope one day we'll get those scripts. I bet they'd be great to defictionalise.

Charlotta is such a talent and a lovely person. I mainly remember everything from her in the whole game, every scene stood out

[@Super.Whimsy]

“If [the game] could be summarized in a brief sentence, then it wouldn’t need to exist” - Barlow What a brilliant fellow. This framing helps me see what he was aiming for, and what they achieved. Also, the fact the two leads still have tea together just warmed my heart! All of the actors were mesmerizing.

[@kolo5141]

Played it day one at 2am. First scene with Charlotta I discovered scared me to the bone. Briliant!

[@dkaloger5720]

Oh i loved the game , so glad to see the behind the scenes .

[@discosludge]

One of the most immersive games I've ever played. Completely consumed me for the week I made my way through it. Thanks for the doc, Noclip!

[@mroutcast8515]

Immersive my ass - you then obviously didn't play anything immersive, nor you played GAMES I guess.

[@taloketo]

Fantastic doc. I think my fav part has been seeing the "scary" actress for The One is such a sweetheart in real life.

[@AtomicAus]

Its incredible that they managed to make the situation in the game the situation in the real world. I wish that the three films were made and that I could see them, but they aren't. Like the in universe situation, they are essentially lost media. This game cemented my love for FMV games, and shows that they can work, can be compelling for storytelling, and are absolute proof that games can, and are, art.

[@thegreatzinetar]

Just finished, NoClip consistently blows it out of the park with their docs wtf

[@paularampinelli6330]

The best FMV I've ever played, hands down. A masterpiece.

[@ViniciusFigueiredo19]

The interview was already pretty cool, but at 6:10 i literally screamed. Nice one

[@CaptainFram]

I've raved about every aspect of this game but goddamn the costume and production designers are absolute STARS. Completely sold the the reality of each era.

Immortality is such a weird, beautiful, complex, ambitious project that even after watching this documentary and seeing how it all came together, it still blows my mind that this game exists and works as beautifully as it does.

[@martins6846]

The best Behind the scenes peak into the making of Immortality that anyone could hope for. Was lovely to get these interviews and insight into one of my favorite gaming/immersive experiences from last year. Kudos to the team behind Immortality and to Noclip. Thank you.

[@MrTizzay]

So happy to see a NoClip doc about this game! It's an insane, magnificent experience that is so rich and layered, it's awesome to learn about the incredible cast and crew behind it.

[@Jigsawn2]

Another great documentary by NoClip and I appreciate how it focuses on the filmmaking and acting as we already know the story behind the game design. The production of Immortality is just mindblowing in its complexity and scale, the planning involved and logistics along with the tight timeline are just a testament to the talent and dedication of the crew. I'm really glad they all got the awards and acknowledgements, there's nothing else like this Immortality in all of gaming.

[@LeoDpt]

Watching this just made me so much more appreciative of the game. Also it makes me happy to see that everyone involved loved this experienced and pretty much only had positive things to say about it. Again an amazing documentary !

[@TheseHotIdiots]

I remember when I played this game for the first time. I only played it for one day, but like; I played it that ENTIRE day because I was absolutely captivated the entire time.

[@chrisl8292]

I went and found this game on gamepass and played it because of this noclip documentary. Thanks NoClip, what a game experience! I felt like I was part of the film crew, and got so invested in all their offscreen relationships.

[@fostena]

Still can't believe that Immortality *wasn't even nominated* Best Independent Game at the Game Awards 2022.

[@andykww]

Loved the game. The production quality on it was amazing.

[@thishandleistacken]

This is one of the most jaw dropping works of art I have ever seen put together. Absolutely incredible. Thank you so very much

[@donkarlotv679]

Your documentaries are phenomenal. Immortality is phenomenal. You inspire me & I will support you as soon as i can.

[@grahamwalker2168]

I have just hammered through this game this week knowing this was coming out. Can't wait to watch this. Im quite the 'gameplay first' type of gamer but this was such a fantastic experience of a game start to end ❤❤❤

[@SirScythe]

I decided to give this a try after y'all talked about it on the podcast and just couldn't stop until i was through. Great game and great doc as always! Also it's really funny to see the interview with Charlotta after only knowing her as her character :D

[@Guancous]

This game is a masterpiece. Excited to see it is still getting attention. Time will be very, very kind to it.

[@Oz07]

This video dropping made my whole month. Thank you for making this

[@Snarkysean]

This was excellent, I’m thrilled that the cast and crew enjoyed making the game as much as I enjoyed playing it - if not more!

[@bigevil1987]

Obligatory joke about watching the doc in reverse to see what's REALLY going on

[@TheIndieGamer]

This was a fascinating watch! Everyone involved in making Immortality clearly poured so much into the project, which really comes through in the game! It really is a masterpiece of a game, and it was fantastic to get to see these additional insights! Awesome work everyone who worked on the game, and awesome work NoClip on another stellar documentary! 👌😍

[@glenharris9366]

I skipped over this on game pass a few times, then saw you guys made a video on it and immediately downloaded it and played it with my partner through before watching. Safe to say, we're glad we did 😁

[@atwistedwarmembrace]

Wonderful documentary. It was such a bizarre month when this game consumed every late night gaming session. I've never played anything like this before. As both a gamer and a film lover, it was great to peek behind the curtain of this audacious masterwork.

[@metropolis10]

Fantastic doc! It's not my type of game but I'm so glad it exists and it's fascinating to learn about it!

[@RealM722]

I've played Telling Lies and damn man... Sam Barlow talking during the "Film Theory" portion of the video, what a smart dude.

[@aiden_3c]

It's really really cool seeing how actors play as actors, /everything/ else amazing about Immortality aside it's something I always noticed and appreciated when playing the game.

I just discovered Jacob Geller yesterday and his video on this game (even featured here at 1:15:00) blew me away. There's so much depth in this game. I'm glad video essays and documentaries on games exist because I would never be able to piece up all this details.

[@PharaohofAtlantis]

This is super exciting, I think the game needs more recognition.

[@Gmododo]

This is the first time I read what The One actually is, a Protean. Before I just called her the Vampire for lack of better description.

[@wukerplank]

I played this game recently and now learning about the hows and whys gives me a lot of joy!

[@BauldyBoys]

The film theory bit was really interesting, it made me appreciate the game a lot more. Me and my partner played it together and had a great time with it. Our only critique was we finished the game without realizing. I don't want to spoil it for the rest but I'm sure some of you know what I'm talking about.

[@a.k.alfadel9642]

This game really caught my off-guard. Sam Barlow and Co. are really pushing the envelope with these unorthodox narrative-focused games. Are they visual novels? Whatever they are, it's working. Immortality was fantasic.
