Walking With Modern Beasts

[@Charlie-Charlot]

This just shows how we tend to forget how incredible and fascinating modern animals are

[@GamingClipStudios]

True because we are so used to our own modern Day animals we want to know about the ones who lived before us or when we were still evolving

[@Charlie-Charlot]

@@GamingClipStudios absolutely! We live in the same period as the largest animal ever ! Juste to think about that is incredible

[@Theonetrueerenyeager]

Exactly! All animals are incredible and fascinating, extinct or extant.

[@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434]

@@Charlie-Charlot yup, there's nothing that can rivalling blue whale. Even certain sauropod dinosaur that can rivalling its length possibly are much lighter thanks for the air sacks inside their skeleton

[@beastinfection638]

I love that you included elephant seals, some of the most underrated modern megafauna imo

[@PaleoEdits]

They're absolute units

The hippos standing in for entelodonts is so genius given that they're the entelodonts' closest living relatives, amazing attention to detail!

[@user-cc9kx8tw6t]

Your edits are always so good! And till this today, the WWB opening is still one of the most badass openings for any documentary. The composer didn't have to go this hard lol

[@Sean_Last1995]

Oh I love this, I never thought Modern Animals with this music could hit so hard.

[@DJT544]

Glad someone's still loving that documentary. Great editing skills!

[@nicholasbrandon8463]

Just the motivation I needed to play Planet Zoo lol. But jokes aside this is a good way to bridge the gap between extinct and extant. We often picture prehistoric creatures as monsters and forget that they are animals just like the ones that roam the Earth today. Excellent work!

[@davycrock0441]

0:18 goes so hard

[@beastinfection638]

dang you did an amazing job replicating the original opening

[@whoknowswhatevillurksinthe1682]

You should do with Walking with Modern Dinosaurs (Birds and reptiles)

[@TheAnimalzz]

If you wanted to do *just* modern dinosaurs, it'd have to be just birds, because the other reptiles aren't dinosaurs. There is a lot of variety within birds, but I don't think enough to recreate the Dinosaurs intro to the same effect that you can while recreating the Beasts intro.

[@takenname8053]

The use of the swimming sloth was perfect!

[@nanotyrannusisnotvalid4820]

when I watch the Walking with Beasts intro, it shows an exciting alien world, but at the same time so close to our own. and this shows the same thing, showing the majesty of our modern day

[@thesenate5956]

DUDE, this is amazing!

[@Hi-re8mt]

It is insane how well you’ve been able to recreate the WWB intro with modern animals. And it’s not just with good footage, you even managed to get the background filter and audio down to a tee as well. How the hell did you manage to do that!?

[@nationaljurassic]

This is amazing, happy holidays

[@gianmarcozampella5138]

loved it! I'd pay to see a legit new doc with this opening! You can never go wrong with WWB main theme!

[@Charlie-Charlot]

I’d be really cool to watch a new doc with the more theatrical aspects of the Walking with series

[@KennySpace]

Nice one

[@SeriousAnglerfish]

This is super realistic which i applause on this man of how u made it 👏👏

[@jurassicswine]

Wow this is really cool! I’ve always loved modern animals just as much as the prehistoric ones.

[@CoralReaper707]

I've always liked animals in general

[@anthonyt1t5]

This makes me appreciate our natural world today with so many intersting creatures living today that we take for granted. The blue whale is indeed the biggest living being in our natural history including the dinosaurs.

[@jonathanbrewer3240]

This should be turned into an actual documentary

[@Gui_Pré-histórico]

What a magnificent quality🎉

[@DinoBoy26]

This looks amazing!

[@CrowRynn]

IMO This is a better intro than the actual show!

[@PaleoFrontier]

I would love to see this remake with footage of prehistoric animals from 'Life on Our Planet'! Would be so cool imo!

[@PaleoEdits]

I feel like there is too little if it should stick to the Cenozoic. But if there is not time-period restriction it might work.

[@PaleoFrontier]

@@PaleoEdits you’ve never failed ;)

[@christosdoesthings]

@@PaleoEdits it will be a little cramped on scenes, but the general idea could work, the meteorite scenes, then some clips could be replaced roughly with the multiple terror bird scenes, the smilodon, the mammooths and cave lions as well as the andrewsarchus.

[@remuslazar2033]

This intro will be used when all the modern animals will become extinct

[@manospondylus]

This is great!

[@rynplayz]

I'd watch it. Life from all periods of the history of our planet is incredible!

[@hsdinoman2267]

holly shit this looks sooooooooo goooooddddd

[@thegreatgoldfilms6311]

From what's in this intro I assume there's 1 episode about the arctic 1 episode about the ocean (possibly) 2 episodes about Africa 1 episode about either North America or Europe and 1 episode about South America

[@PrehistoricAustralia]

"Welcome to the Holocene" made me laugh 😂Great edit mate!

[@planetag12]

very creative

[@MelodyVOA]

This was so smooth bro. Oml

[@velochieraptor2215]

You should do an edit in the style of the life of mammals intro, imagine that with like prehistoric planet dinosaurs in it

[@megistotherium1]

Very cool!

A HINT of sentience + a primate emoji? I think you might have a human superiority complex.

[@MrDodo19]

Eh, I tried finding a good title for it. That's all I had, I also didn't want it to sound boring, but do you have other good titles for episode 4? 😅

[@MrDodo19]

Btw great video, this is why I am subscribed.

[@MrDodo19]

Also no, I don't, I was trying to think of a good title for the episode.

Pretty much all of these were around for the last two episodes of WWB, even.

[@beastinfection638]

You're right. Most extant animals were around during the Pleistocene. Some were even around during the Pliocene or Miocene such as Nile crocodiles or black bears

[@drewluczynski9609]

The WWB theme works for basically any animal documentary

Excelente video fan, una serie así toda cruda sería genial, new sub

[@The-Ink-Dragon97]

Holocene? Is that the scientific name for our current age?

[@PaleoEdits]

yes

[@qwellen7521]

Amazing work . Have you considered making a walking w/monsters using some of of the LOOP footage?

[@PaleoEdits]

I'd give it a try some day :) But it is probably the toughest visual effect to pull off out of all the trilogy of life openings.

[@dakotagonet3311]

I’m guessing the asteroid in this video is the one that killed the dinosaurs?

[@lifencyclopedia]

So I gotta know, what software do you edit these with

[@PaleoEdits]

Premiere Pro & After Effects.

[@izael7000]

Come to think of it, it doesn't make much sense because all "modern animals", including us humans, already existed in the Pleistocene, so there is no logic in separating ""Prehistoric animals" and "modern animals" because all current living beings, not just animals, are species that already existed in the Pleistocene and before the Pleistocene, at the end of the previous era. Lu zsja But anyway, this separation is colloquial, and it is not scientifically correct, and it is also not very didactic because it can, in the minds of lay people, imply that all animals living today did not exist before the Holocene, except for humans, because of primitive humans, and this generates a distorted view of the world. But ultimately it depends on how it will be taught.

[@AdrianMarinMarinoES]

What program did you use for the logo

[@PaleoEdits]

Used "After Effects" for the entire video

[@Don-dp1xc]

What is that big bang 🤔🤔🤔 always I love modern animals because there are very important to this generation so we should protect them.🤗🤗🤗

[@PaleoEdits]

That's the asteroid impact at the end of the Cretaceous period - which set the stage for many of our modern animals to evolve. We should indeed protect them! Not just for our generation but for the next 🐘

[@1996pola]

I ❤️ it

[@AdrianMarinMarinoES]

What template did you used for the Walking with Beasts logo?

[@PaleoEdits]

No template, made from scratch.

[@horrorknight3096]

What program/s do you use?

[@PaleoEdits]

Premiere Pro + After Effects.

[@horrorknight3096]

@@PaleoEditsRight on!

[@PaleoEdits]

@@horrorknight3096 If you're looking for a good editing software then Davinci resolve is just as good as Premiere Pro and cheaper. I use Premiere because of the intergration with other Adobe softwares like After Effects; which is a visual effects sofware. In this case used for the whole rock filter thing inbetween the animals and the background.

[@lightningsaiyajin]

Wheres that shot of 0:17 from? I recognize almost of all of this from somewhere but this shot interests me+

[@PaleoEdits]

It's from The Mating Game :) It's a little funny that one of the most graphic shots of recent BBC documentaries is in the one about courtship (assuming you mean the hyena shot?)

Intro brought back memories

[@Ektor-yj4pu]

If it ended with the skyline of a modern city and a bomber dropping a nuke it would be perfect, reminding that in the Cenozoic mammals have evolved in the most successful, powerful and terrifying animals that ever existed.

[@PaleoEdits]

Let's see how long we last before proclaiming ourselves as the "most successful" ...

[@Ektor-yj4pu]

@PaleoEdits "The flame that burns twice as bright burns half as long". Lao Tzu

[@PaleoEdits]

@@Ektor-yj4pu I suppose you refer to technological or cultural success then. Because we cerainly arn't the most biologically successful species in any sense what so ever.

[@Ektor-yj4pu]

@PaleoEdits Over 8 billions individuals saturating and changing almost any environment on Earth and living on top of the food chain is clearly a sign of biological success even if it will be short lived.

[@PaleoEdits]

​@@Ektor-yj4pu Organisms are gene vehicles, they exist soley to replicate DNA, from a scientific perspective anyway. Insects, bacteria and many, many other lifeforms are doing so far more succesfully than any old primate, even hairless ones. There are single species of ants who outnumber us by the trillion. Changing the environment may affect biological success, but it isn't measure of success itself. And even so, there are single species of cyanobacteria have had a far larger impact than humanity in that regard. Point in case, you'd be stone cold dead without them. They wouldn't bat an eye without you.

[@MemesWithTheLizard-ec8uy]

modern animals are nothing compared to the past

[@WingedFish66]

If I had one criticism, it needed a ratite (ostrich, emu, cassowary, ect.). The terror birds may be gone, but giant flightless birds still yet roam this Earth

[@PaleoEdits]

I thought terror birds were more closely related to seriemas? But if the point is just flightless bird than sure, could work. Although I usually don't intend to make my videos a perfect replica of the original assembly if I think something else looks cooler ;)

[@WingedFish66]

@@PaleoEdits They are not related yes. Though an even cheekier choice could've been to use ducks or geese, since Gastornis (which wasn't a "true" terror bird but was the one used for the WWB intro footage) is related to waterfowl

[@bowiedoctor9156]

Just a suggestion, seeing as nobody else has done one, but how about putting together a dinosaur video edit of the BBC Tanis extinction documentary 'last day of the dinosaurs' - that'd be good on KZbin.

[@NotesFromTheVoid]

Funnily enough I've never actually watched WWB. The Cenozoic doesn't interest me that much

[@PaleoEdits]

Well if you do intend on watching it then it's probably best to put on your "entertainment glasses", as some of the information may be a bit outdated. But some of the episodic stories are really good.

[@pallinojoe3214]

In my opinion, WWB is the best out of the Trilogy of Life. It's not just a sequel to WWD, it's a great paleodoc in its own right. I strongly suggest giving it a try 🤘

Anthropocene ahahahah

[@PaleoEdits]

The Anthropocene is still not a recognized epoch by the International Commission on Stratigraphy ;)

Ok. But could you make all intro of walking with beasts with dinosaurs of prehistoric planet and the mammals of ice age giants or 10000 bc and modern animals? Could be awesome 😍@@PaleoEdits
