RECREATING 2024 Oscar Nominees on a Budget Pt.2 | (Oppenheimer, Poor Things, etc…)

[@WilliamHBaker]

What should I recreate next?

[@DavidKastratovic]

It would be awesome to see you recreate some old Hollywood scenes. You could pick your Best Picture Favourites from the 30s to somewhere like end of 50s, maybe even 1920s. Love your work and I hope someday to meet and work with you. You are an inspiration to me!

[@BatSignalJammer]

There are some cool shots in the HBO show Euphoria. It'd be awesome to see you recreate them

[@soulsisterbribri]

You should recreate a sitcom

[@cineception1735]

If you want a huge challenge, try to recreate something from Dune or the Matrix for example.

Joker: Folie À Deux

[@danol5749]

You ever get spoiled with a KZbin video so good that afterwards you're just left with that "well now what do I watch" feeling?

[@UndinesOcean]

That's a video hangover. I get it all the time, with people getting more and more skilled in videography. Hope you'll find something to match up this experience.

[@WitchKing-Of-Angmar]

There's always high quality sims 4 build videos about witch houses... strangely. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZWmZqKhosyEj7csi=QPLC1-0ooRUNgq38

[@NkosiMthiyane]

I got so smiley for the genius of this video I was like "I don't care if this guy has only this video on his channel I'm subscribing" (I haven't opened the channel yet I don't wanna worry)

[@davidgonzalez-mn7sm]

bernadette banner has vids with this similar vibe

[@DSLRguide]

your skills are impressive when it comes to both behind-the-scenes and the scenes

[@PaulKoning]

BTS boys mentioned!! (Ethan Gough and myself)

[@WilliamHBaker]

Thank you!! I've been watching your channel for a while so that means a lot! I couldn't do it without my behind-the-scenes guys!

[@creativecarveciteclimb5684]

We need a behind the scenes for the behind the scenes guys

[@KhadijaAbdelhadi-v5f]

I'm really happy for you because you got married

[@Mr.Everyth1ng]

Yeees

[@AuDHD_Mom]

14 years into my marriage, and it's the best!! Married to a creative man who does post-production audio with two very spirited children. Every day is a crap shoot as to how exhausted or content we'll feel, but we wouldn't do it any different. May this content creator be so happy!

[@Hikaeme-od3zq]

Crazy that you make these videos free and available to anyone, recreating the dirt from the Oppenheimer explosion like that, definitely shows your love and dedication for this craft.

[@sofiel1732]

This is by far the most underrated channel on youtube. William’s videos are mesmerizing and the effort that goes into them is unmatched. Let’s help him get to 1M+ subs !!!

[@PotatoObliteratorGD]

I genuinely thought he had more than 1M until I checked

[@KhadijaAbdelhadi-v5f]

@@PotatoObliteratorGD yaah me too omg he rely deserves that and more because its content is very good

[@angelr5694]

Was literally think ing the same. feels productive even if you are just watching.

[@alexanderlintott4286]

unironically, there were a couple of shots that looked better than the originals. Additionally, your music choice is top notch especially when paired with your pacing.

[@chanceseverson]

I would strongly disagree that they looked better than the originals but no doubt they were impressively close, especially for the budget

[@zangasperic11]

You cannot be serious. It is indeed impressive and extremely interesting deep dive into the process, but there is still so so so much separating these shots from the references.

[@KaiserRomanIV]

This is a genius comment, Alexander Lintott.

[@alexanderlintott4286]

@@zangasperic11 I am serious. The problem with having a discussion such as this, is the subjectivity of the matter. We may never agree, it's just an opinion; perhaps my comment shows a certain level of naivety in regard to cinematography. However, I can't help but value what others think and judging by the ratio in the comments it is clear I'm not alone. The 'couple' shots I found particularly impressive were, the holdovers and Barbie shots. I love the Oppenheimer shot, I am just slightly bothered by the lack of splodges and texture on the fireball.

[@zangasperic11]

​@@alexanderlintott4286 Interesting. I haven’t seen the Barbie shot, and I agree that the individual Oppenheimer shot could be up for debate. Since your comment was under this video, I took it to mean that the shots from this video were better than the originals. However, aside from the Oppenheimer shot, I still very much disagree with that perspective.

[@filmoverfilm]

just a little tip: a good way to test if things are waterproof or not is to place a piece or a few pieces of toilet paper in them. its very absorbant so you'll know if its bad proofing if you pull out wet paper :) you are great btw.

[@holtm749]

The fact that at the end I couldn't tell wich one was the original just goes to show how amazing you have done all of this.

[@jpu_]

the fact you expertly recreated the shots is impressive enough. But the storytelling and production of the video itself makes this next level. subscribed after one watch.

[@m1l0u3]

Wow! The shot of "Killers of the Flower Moon" was impressive. How you made it with all the complications that came your way. Great work!

[@sufact]

I absolutely loved this video due to the incorporated audio, sound effects, and music. I mean, how those tense moments were amplified with that dramatic soundtrack just added so much in depth and intensity. Man, I was literally on the edge of my seat! Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing what you come up with next!

[@WilliamHBaker]

Thank you!! The storytelling of it all is definitely one of my favorite parts of the whole process!

[@nainsolent1088]

That killers of the flower moon scene is insane !! Now I need a camera and friends who share the same passion of cinema as me haha You guys are awesomely inspiring

[@aleclefeber2596]

Incredible job! I'm really impressed with the maestro shot in particular. With all these shots, you really don't realize how much work goes into what appears to be a "simple" shot. This has been awesome and so informative.

[@Ovaflo]

I can't believe this kind of content is available for free to watch. It contains so much useful information and is a very well-constructed video. New sub mate

[@benrart]

man, this is stunning work! This video is so fun to watch, but also really informative! I also love that you don't just buy expensive gear, but you try to do the things yourself

[@Teaminatorium]

To be honest, as someone who's learning and wants to do filmmaking, your videos are inspiring and teach me a lot in a special way. Most of the facts that your explaining like lenses, lightning etc... i'm familiar with that, but I just love to see the proces. The way you're thinking about how to make the shots happen, just helps me so much, because I can see how actually of the rails and crazy I can get, because no matter how an idea is silly, it might be your winning point. Thank you :)

[@DannyGevirtz]

This was super fun man!

[@WilliamHBaker]

Thank you!! Love your channel!

[@ArsonTheShroom]

This is just INSANELY detailed and talented. 10/10, I wish I had a fraction of your motivation. Not only are the shots of the actual pieces beautifully made, the actual video itself has a ton of really beautiful shots and angles that make the whole thing feel like a film and not just thr parts that recreate films.

[@WilliamHBaker]

🥰

[@aarushmullick]

Man to be real honest beautiful shots are what made me go into movies in the first place. It captivates me so much I often think how cinematographers make such shots. Seeing you do them in a budget friendly manner is amazing and motivating for many cinematographers and film makers. You deserve more recognition and followers my friend.

[@themightyflog]

I love how you put the price tag on it. I think that is what gets people to click more. It helps alot of us interested understand that Hollywood, though working on a different budget, is also throwing money away and that these things with our creativity and skill can in some ways compete without the huge crazy budget.

[@josephalbert2624]

I have been waiting for this series’ continuation! You did an incredible job at capturing and recreating each film’s tone! Can’t wait to see what you’re up to next!! Congrats on the wedding!

[@Lum1narae]

These videos are so satisfying to watch. The pasting, the visuals and the concepts are so well executed. I think there should be a major part of KZbin that’s shot like this

[@L-A-M-E-nergy]

I did a similar shot of smoke/fire outdoors and I used a long AC duct tube with holes punched along the tubing… worked like a charm.(obviously you need to take into count that as the smoke reaches the back of the tube there is less of it. So make the holes smaller closer to the fog machine and larger as you get to the end of the tube. Also this is a very good example of testing everything you need for the day, before the day! So that you do not waste yours or anyone else’s time.

[@ravaryv]

I’m so glad this video is finally out! I’ve been waiting for it!

[@patrickmartucci5205]

Unbelievable talent, not just in recreating the shots but also in explaining your process and the associated challenges you faced.

[@kangrobi07]

Wow.... going through your journey is so fun. Thank you for the hard work!

[@T5five]

This is one of the coolest videos I have ever seen on this platform. Even for free. Appreciate you men 🔥big respect from Ethiopia 🇪🇹

[@ZRoFun]

I had a moment of realization that I watched part 1 this summer and hadn’t seen anything from you since. So I tried to find the video and found your channel only to see you’ve uploaded plenty since! Subscribed immediately and started part two! Brilliant work

[@caseyh4682]

These 2 parts are maybe the best videos I’ve ever watched on KZbin. Absolutely unreal work, easiest subscribe I’ve ever done

[@Yavuziccy]

I laughed really hard when you say "well I am married now" HAHAHAHAHA. Very good video bravo.

[@bibs9531]

Not just how amazingly consistent and creative you are, the people who support you and stick with you throughout the whole process is priceless

[@szabaripeti98]

This was one of the most well done videos I’ve ever seen on youtube. I hope that you’re gonna be a film director soon, even this video was soo well put together, i cannot imagine a talent like you would do anything else. Hope to see a future film of yours. Many many tv shows would be jealous for a production quality like this.

[@RealFilmFlashbacks]

This video is so good it could be sold as a course

[@Blender_Nerd_1]

the efforts you are putting in these 5-10 sec clips is amazing. pure art

[@EnnuiOwO]

I think this is the first time I've been hooked by a sponsor segment. That app is seriously cool, and you showcased it beautifully.

[@Thisismymumsaccounthaha]

Congrats on getting married! When sinking underwater (like the actress had to in the first shoot) if you breath out all the air in your lungs you can wink as much as you need, that’s how people magically lay at the bottom of pools.

[@adoboarchives4738]

Let's give a big applause and shout out to his friends who helped him!

[@thatspritee]

The killers of the flower moon shot is actually insane. The dedication and technical factors that goes into it! I love how it turned out and amazed 😅

this is most entertaining documentary in weeks - keep up the good work!

[@tofo3531]

What did I just see? This is the first time in years KZbin really offers me something of super high quality value. Thanks a lot for making this videos. They are amazing

[@suzysheep149]

I thought your oppenheimer shot the first time was brilliant, but this time it was insanely perfect omg. And congrats on ur marriage!

[@Arsène038]

20:37 that beat is timed so well that it fits with the achievement of sizing up the still frame!

[@caleldonini]

Each shot looked amazing- although I feel that you should have comped some fire assets into the KOTFM shot. Great work as always man.

[@SilBaBum]

this is an absolute masterpiece, one of the best videos I've ever seen

[@xremming]

These were amazing! I kept thinking about "the dude that remade the Oppenheimer effects" and then *bam* that was you.

[@tylerw4496]

This is very entertaining, thank you. Can't wait for your eventual feature

[@AcooIhandIe]

Bravo!!! I can see a lot of effort went into this. Also, congrats on your wedding bro! (some of these are even better than the original!)

[@piyushrramchandani]

Wow, wow, wow... I just made a short film yesterday, and watching it now makes me even more excited! It reminded me why filmmaking is so much fun. I’m going to watch all the videos now.

[@WilliamHBaker]

Welcome to the comment section and thank you so much! I've already started on the next video and I'm hoping to have it up in less than a month, so you may not have to wait long!

[@AHSEN.]

Tip for sinking to the bottom: exhale completely. Removing the air from your lungs makes you denser and you should begin to sink... unless you're fat. The density of the camera should help with sinking too. No need for weights.

[@ForeignQueen4L]

This video is amazing insightful and educational. I learned so much watching it! Please keep making content like this, and thank you for such an incredible masterpiece. I loved both parts!

[@karinuradnikova1448]

You're insane brother, absolutely impressive. Keep it up

[@karanheer]

so much effort put into this! also congrats on getting married ❤

[@alvacmedia]

What a gift this KZbin recommendation was... I am speechless. 😳 I don't think I've ever felt so inspired to create after watching a KZbin video. I just discovered this channel through this video, and watching you explain & experiment through the process of creating so many different shots, discovering new techniques, seeing the good & the bad / what worked & what didn't, and finally getting such incredibly close to the original results was such a beautiful experience. It scratched a special spot in my brain. I learned and got so much inspiration from this. I want to thank you William for this amazing video, and I am now a gladly new subscriber who can't wait to marathon-through your other videos and the upcoming ones ! 😊

Great Video, and love how you take the time to explain the process of each shot! Your humor and charisma makes the video so interesting to watch. I myself is learning to shoot proper cinematic videos and greatly appreciate stumbling on this video :D Cheers from Mauritius Island ! Keep it up!

[@Arsène038]

15:01 the sound here matched the frustration of finding out the out of stock moment

[@LAHM-TUBE]

It been a while I have not seen stuff like these, Finally good quality content on youtube.

[@Skullking489]

18:55 really freaked me out

[@OrdnanceTV]

Dude. My first instant thought for a waterproof container is simply 3/8" thick plexi glass from a hardware store, cut on a table saw, use rubber gaskets on hinges, and add waterproof epoxy. Literally an afternoon worth the work and infinitely safer than a storage container.

[@noobysteamy]

Don't put weights on yourselves! The body density is less than water WITH air inside your lungs FULLY, so breath all of the oxygen out of your lungs and you will automatically sink no matter what. Hopes this helps in future shots!!!

[@mclama1139]

I was thinking the exact same. People automatically breath in when diving even tho it doesn't really change the ammount of time you can stay down there and makes you float

[@WilliamHBaker]

We tried that first, but I had a ton of trouble with it. Our actress was able to do that pretty well, but she wanted weights to be able to get to her spot faster. In the future though, if we do add weights we'll do something more proper, and probably go as little weight as we can get away with.

[@jlad5960]

Less air in lungs, less time underwater before you end up being permanently empty lunged

[@AlexEzorskyVFX]

Your high key lighting example was low key amazing

[@cineception1735]

I loved both Videos so much! They are so well done... the Editing, the shots... just amazing. Please continue with your work!

[@kevin-haggerty]

You have inspired me in sooooo. many ways. I have had a few movies in mind for this type of challenge. Great job!!

[@nicholasfuric]

For future projects with a duration of seconds, that are taking place under water - empty your lungs, rather than weighing the actress down. You can be without air for a reasonable amount of time and there's no buoyancy. Great video! Lovely channel! Congrats on getting married 🌻
