I'm grateful for having been invited to see this for a private showing before release. I thoroughly enjoyed this well produced film. Congrats to Khang and the team!

[@MetacosmStudios]

Thanks for coming out and showing support. Thank you.

[@StudioPenrose]

Thank you ACME!

[@RachelMckenzie345]

Same here!

[@AlteredEvil]

After seeing this again- I am even more impressed. The bar for VR filmmaking is here and rising! Awesome performances from Stark and Scar-J as well

[@scarthesuspiciousloli730]

Cheers! ❤

[@Shoto-Rias]

BRO WTH, THAT COMBAT WAS BETTER THAN MOST MOVIES IVE EVER WATCHED AND THAT IS SAYING SOMETHING COMING FROM SOMEBDOY WHO ONLY WATCHES MOVIES FRO COMBAT AND PLAYS FIGHTING GAMES.

[@MetacosmStudios]

Awesome, glad you enjoyed it!

[@rosiaevans6747]

That fight scene was amazing! I physically gasped at the end of it!!

[@ItsMallyce]

that's crazy what can be done in VrChat, that's inspiring! can't wait to see more from your studios!

[@rainbleed8049]

Jaw dropping 😮When I say “I play VRChat” this is the VRChat I want people to think of.

[@MetacosmStudios]

You can always share it with your friends and be like "Look see how cool it is!" just saying lol. But thank you for the support.

[@Chrixskie]

It’s less likely we’ll get this reality of vrc, everyone wants it to remain a social game not something else better

[@user-zk3dj3su9s]

This is too cool, I don’t know how to shoot so many details, it’s amazing

[@MetacosmStudios]

A Lot of time and pre-planning go a long way but it pays off! Glad you enjoyed it.

[@CodeBread]

We all love it!

[@MetacosmStudios]

Yes we do!

[@michaelzhang4439]

Amazing job Khang and everyone involved! I experienced emotions that I never imagined being able to feel from a VRChat film. Your team's execution of new, innovative filming methods combined with high quality audio and film production made this film especially impressive. Well done!

[@RekunBox]

Thanks Michael we love you ❤️

[@StudioPenrose]

THANKS MICHAEL

[@dawne2780]

Another amazing film. Metacosm is just a really cool idea and I completely admire all your hard work.

[@sinoneo]

wow. everything about this was amazing. especially with the limitations of filming in vrchat, you guys did fucking amazing. never even thought that a long walking shot like that, at the beginning, was even possible in vrchat. nice work

[@MetacosmStudios]

Yeah we have some tricks up our sleeves, but glad you enjoyed it.

[@swavvy2187]

They most likely used a treadmill for vr

[@YamiKamiYuki]

looking great, love the camera work!

[@MetacosmStudios]

Thanks fallen glad you enjoyed it!

[@Kondre-the-Dark-Souls-fan]

not joking, this is better than most films made today. i think the story could go much further if it had more time, but i know that this is really hard to make, so i really think this is incredible

[@StudioPenrose]

You have no idea how much I want to dive deep into the lore of this film... There's a lot more to know if you read in between the lines of this. Give me infinite time and resources, and I'd be happy

[@sixxiom1142]

Wow! So hard to sync up a fight scene in VRChat. Must have been a lot of work. Great stuff!!

[@MetacosmStudios]

Thank you it was alot of work for sure, we are happy how it turned, out glad you enjoyed it!

[@Monkeyonstrike]

Great camerawork, world building, and wonderful acting! That poor rusk just needed a dollar...

[@jame_z]

Ikr, I can't believe she just shooed him away T-T

[@Pedro2figueiredo]

This was insanely well put together. Simply Amazing.

[@MetacosmStudios]

Thank you the team worked hard on this for awhile!

[@so1idw0lf]

Shout out the the sound editing. That was impressive work. This is an amazing project and you all should be proud.

[@MotusBlackStudio]

Absolutely blown away, cant believe I am only now finding you guys! Amazing work from everyone

[@fwostyfilms]

Wow! Amazing production! For something created in six months out of passion, every part of this team did a fabulous job! The amazing cinematography of the shots and coordination with choreography is jaw-dropping, the slower and emotional moments were heart-wrenching that I shed a couple of tears, and overall editing quality was superior. The sound design was also on-point, creating a beautiful immersive atmosphere for the film. Keep up the amazing work folks! 💙

[@MetacosmStudios]

Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it!

[@DragonflyFox]

SO WELL DONE IM PROUD OF YALL

[@Kuugaloo1555]

💕

[@SounaVR]

amazing work, keep going!

[@DudeRandom]

Was wondering where Khang went. Great movie!

[@gamercubeyt]

We’ll see him again in 2 years. 🤣

[@StudioPenrose]

I exist!

[@gbreezey3412]

Great video makes me even more excited to see into the metaverse. But you guys should speed up the hand to hand fight scenes and then voice over it to fit, just for future refenrence. For instance if you speed up 15:55 to 1.25 everyting flows niceley and looks way better. Viewers , thank me later lol.

[@FeliceDeVroze]

Took me way too long to get to watching this but damn! I'm impressed the whole *everything* of this. Being able to feel immersed in a film made inside of VRChat is wild and I love it ♥

[@Lucesan_]

That was pretty cool !

[@MetacosmStudios]

Thanks, we worked hard

[@L33T_Taco]

Damn, I didn't even know this was a thing. Looks great!

[@LipnoxVR]

Another amazing upload, always excited to see a new one come up in my feed.

[@DiamondDepthYT]

This is so amazing!

[@metalsplinter2]

Love the video. You all have amazing talent! Keep it up ❤

[@nicolelts6668]

I love it and please keep making more and I am very excited for the VRchat movie and I hope one day I can make great videos just like you guys

[@curtloadblower]

great camerawork, I especially like the sound design. I wonder if you guys will do a behind the scenes, for this movie.

[@StudioPenrose]

There are so many cool techniques that we used to film this, and I wouldn't mind doing that! ^^

[@scarthesuspiciousloli730]

I'm about to show myself swatting the air with a grill spatula for swiping SFX 😂

[@StudioPenrose]

@@scarthesuspiciousloli730 That would be a hilarious video lol

[@madaragog2689]

I really enjoyed it

[@brianaval2325]

[@bryanparks6958]

Damn! What a wonderful production. Each and everyone involved is to be commended for their hard work and dedication. Thank you for sharing with the community and showing what is possible.

[@MetacosmStudios]

Glad you enjoyed it, be sure to check out our other projects as well!

[@theomegadiamond399]

I’m sure what she was saying wasn’t important anyway. 😂

[@MetacosmStudios]

​@@gamercubeyt I mean if you really try to figure out what shes saying, might be a surprise! Thanks for watching!

[@gamercubeyt]

@@MetacosmStudios I just took the easy road and peeked at the script instead. 🤣

[@metaverse_degen]

after hearing all about this film, there is so much i recognize from what was shared with us! very well done and i cant wait to see the film you are working on come out!

[@shadowslayer9988]

What is the update on the VRchat movie when will we get another trailer?

[@InviaWaffles]

Lets gooooooooooo

[@Jay_akihabara]

Looks good cant wait to watch

[@topsychoforyou1203]

What the hell?! This is actually so good! I would love to take part in a project like that. This was better made than I could have imagined a movie made in vrchat. Subbed!

[@Samurosauro]

loved it 🥰

[@gamercubeyt]

You look at any single one of these scenes and you’ll instantly think: “Wow. That must’ve taken countless hours and numerous takes to get right. 🤣”

[@Tinkerer_Red]

Voice acting could use a bit of work, but enjoying the camera work its really in the right direction. looking forward to more

[@Mountain_Man_]

Great now i need to rush work so i can watch it when it comes out

[@cyber92943]

You did really good 👍

[@Nibad.]

The worlds are all listed in the credits in the film!

[@DudeRandom]

The most impressive part is how she managed to walk all that distance. How large is her room

[@StudioPenrose]

That was done using a treadmill!

[@DudeRandom]

@@StudioPenrose I see

[@AndroidNoir-L06k]

​@@StudioPenrosetredmil? like the bowl one or the linear one?

[@StudioPenrose]

@@AndroidNoir-L06k It was a normal linear treadmill!

[@StudioPenrose]

I forgot to mention, we also had the Lilith character in the background walking infinitely. That was done using KatVR!

Hey where is VR chat the movie

[@Wow4.0]

Where’s the vr chat movie

[@gamercubeyt]

It’s coming. There were a lot of setbacks that delayed the release. (But mostly it’s because Constantine has strict standards for each scene and keeps reshooting them. 🤣)

[@shadowslayer9988]

​​@@gamercubeytDo you know how long the VRchat movie run time will be?

[@gamercubeyt]

@@shadowslayer9988 We’re targeting a full-length feature film’s runtime of 1 hour and 30 minutes. May be a little more or less depending on how much gets cut.

[@shadowslayer9988]

@@gamercubeyt Thanks for the information how much has already been filmed in terms of minutes in the film if you know?

[@gamercubeyt]

@@shadowslayer9988 Unfortunately, I do not know exactly how many minutes of footage has made it in the final edit so far. All I know is that we've shot at an incredible number of hours worth of footage since 2021, and only the more technically-complex scenes are left to be shot (such as fighting scenes or anything that requires additional avatar model programming in the Unity engine). ⚙🖥🎥

Good
