Welcome to Nightvale: A Story About You (Film Adaptation)

[@alexc119]

I wold have only shown Cecil from the neck down, to preserve the fact that no one knows what he looks like, at all. But apart from that...THIS IS PURE AWESOMENESS.

[@TrenchantEdges]

Seconded.

[@FireEmblemForceman81]

This isn't completely true. In the first or second episode, if you look at the image you see Cecil's head, though that might not be canon. However, if you only listened to the podcast, unlike me who watched it on KZbin, you will not have been able to notice that.

[@fiveprimecap5749]

I kept this comment in mind when creating the sequel, "A Story About Them"

[@LeafShade]

+Forceman Link? I think you will find it is unofficial fan-art, the official videos contain only the logo.

[@pelicanine]

+Culture Vulture I just picture him as Stanley Tucci. Don't ask why...

[@LoneSousuke]

I agree that not showing the full face would have preserved that artistic mystery as to the fact cecil the characters never been fully detailed. And while i think this was very well made considering a low budget the cecil in this one's eyes kept doing weird eye and expression wandering that felt to take away from the experience. Hope to see more! Keep it up :)

[@willnvictus7947]

This was really brilliant guys. The only slight suggestion I would have is that some of the (very appropriate) music tends to overwhelm Cecil's dialogue in parts. Disparition in the broadcast is very subtle. Other than that, I hope your are considering or currently in film school.

[@Tandtr0ll]

The intro is absolutely stunning!

[@SamSam-qj6iq]

Incredible film making skills

[@savannahwise7058]

I've always associated Hawaii Part II with Welcome to Nightvale so this was such a nice surprise to see them together! Lovely job

[@leepinnell6853]

This is really, really cool. Art has inspired art. We all win.

[@RainbowRagdoll]

I actually quite thuroughly enjoyed this. This episode was the hardest for me to put an imagined world to, so this visual film made that so, SOOOO much better, and I want to say thank you for that :)

[@AnvilPro100]

If they ever make a new Twilight Zone show, they should hire these writers

[@ameliaantique5345]

I love that you used songs from Hawaii Part 2! One of my favorite albums. Also, your film adaptations of Night Vale are definitely the best. So awesome!

[@fiveprimecap5749]

+Amelia Antique Thank you! I'm glad that you recognized the music. Thanks for your kind words :)

[@SamuxRadioactivity]

I've listened to this episode so many times I almost know it by heart. But watching this, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. This is a terrific piece.

[@DoctorWhoFan93]

This is great! The cinematography, setting, and acting really captured Night Vale well.

[@AYSrockz]

The sound design on this is pure genius. The lighting could use a ton of work though. Overall, pretty solid adaptation.

[@gachafriendsbffs1548]

[@reyavispa1472]

can't believe this has just shy of 3K likes, i come to this video at least once a year like my own personal pilgrimage

[@GMajorFilms]

Really outstanding for what you had to work with.

[@perfidiousprophet]

OH MY GOD!! THE SONG HUMMING FROM THE CRATE IS INTRODUCTION TO THE SNOW FROM HAWAII: PART II There's also the demo for The Mind Electric? and Murders?? Oho- You, my friend, have EXCELLENT taste.

[@natedaviz9178]

this is so neat

[@Asher1347]

I love the Hawaii Part II album use. Interesting I heard this album on a separate account.

[@Nic123400]

I feel like they don't know the difference between a crate and a pallet. This was really good though, great content!

[@addianimatics1784]

They may not have been able to get ahold of a bunch of crates? idk

[@jaemochiboi]

That. Was. Fucking. AWESOME. Please make more episodes!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!

[@nelliebachesneg6655]

Dream Sweet in Sea Major? The Mind Electric? Murders? You have excellent music choice.

[@uwuaxolotluwu3626]

I've had this video in my watch later for months, and I just now finally watched it. God. This is amazing! I can always imagine a perfect visual for episodes like this, but sometimes I mix up visuals with otherr media. Like, I couldn't get Pop's from Riverdale out of my head when listening to the Moonlight All-Nite part, but now this has been fixed :) Also how has no one mentioned the miracle musical coming from the crate? I recognized the humming immediately lol

[@waltmanasse-latham1585]

This is pretty great! When I listened to the episode for the first time I had this incredible image of the planet in my mind and this came pretty close to it.

[@coolskelet0n]

this was so well done and added so well to the ambiance of the episode, fantastic job

[@deggas3665]

where is mah weather

[@fiveprimecap5749]

+Deon Boys the credits

[@deggas3665]

Sorry, missed that

[@rhysp.2920]

OH MY GOD THIS IS WONDERFUL

[@KellyBufkin]

This is really impressive. /It's funny to imagine that the stranger was not a stranger, but the same person wearing a different mask every time. /What does the Apache Tracker say? I've never looked it up. /I like most of the noises and music you added in. The hawk noise was a bit startling though. /So the guy reaches up and inadvertently cuts his own throat against the knife. I wonder if he dies right there, reaching for the dark planet of awesome size.

[@DarkestMirrored]

May I suggest listening to the Night Vale episode "A Story About Them"? The same story, told from a slightly different perspective.

[@KellyBufkin]

DarkestMirrored I am in the process of listening to all of welcome to nightvale. I am on not there yet, but I'll get there eventually. Sounds like a fun episode. :-)

[@fiveprimecap5749]

DarkestMirrored Worth making a sequel?

[@melonreaver1047]

"You are in danger" "They’re coming" "They will come from below" "Pies won’t help."

[@epictoastman3]

I personally think the idea of the same person in a different mask is something that totally fits Night Vale.

[@gwynethh9524]

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude, that was awesome!!

[@elvenfriendgaming5423]

nice inverted color use

[@micaela7255]

I don’t even know what to say this is so amazing

[@Jean-vd1fs]

Oh my god! Just the other day I was thinking of how amazing it would be if someone did this!

[@corirobinson5064]

I love the clips from Odd Thomas!!! That made me soooo happy!

[@maxduffee1360]

This is incredible. Very nice film making skills ya got there.

[@girlvsgames6404]

I’m late but love the music additions like Dream Sweet in Sea Major really matches the surreal vibe of it all

[@jedediaholsen]

This is great! Extremely well done. I love it.

[@NorseRabbit]

I especially love the opening! It fits so well!

[@halikha]

This is really amazing! More power to your team bro!

[@Starlight-Tale]

This is pretty good.

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa790]

One of the hard things about making an adaption to Nightvale is that if you import the medium, the value of it changes. Kind of like how some books strongly rely on the narration more than the description, and thus when you put it on a TV so much os lost unless you completely change it. If there really ever is one, I'm curious to see how they will change the constant calm surprise that you feel as you listen. This seems promising.

[@gachafriendsbffs1548]

I 💗 the 💡 of a live action version of nightvale Soo 😎

[@kaylie_o6318]

This was brilliantly done.

[@PyramidXSlender]

Thank you guys, you are amazing!

[@thefoxskit]

I love this

[@ecamville2928]

This is really really lovely, but at several points the music is too loud to hear Cecil at all. Other than that, it's amazing!!

[@HikaruHikariKage]

So a few things bothered me (the moonlight diner not being a diner, the apache track not being played by an apache guy - I'm pretty sure, at least?, having an actor for Cecil) -- but it was filmed well, and that title sequence was genius. A pretty fair adaptation of my favourite episode

[@Jammythewerewolf]

Alice C the Apache tracker is not supposed to be Apache. He's a jerk. XD

[@AtomicTangerineX]

+Jammythewerewolf But by this episode, he appears to be an actual Native American who only speaks Russian.

[@nadiadrumm4828]

This is so well done!!

[@hannahweibel2631]

Truly creative and amazing!

[@tistis1362]

I died when I saw this, to think someone can be so talented. Thank you for sharing and working hard on this! Good Job!

[@fiveprimecap5749]

Glad you enjoyed!!

[@thefairybug40]

I feel as though the actual episode shouldn't have been played over this. They should have just acted it out, with Cecil's broadcast coming in only when the story mentioned it coming in. If we're watching this, we likely already know the story. Also, it would have fixed the many sound problems. Furthermore, the lack of being spoon-fed what was happening would have created the immersive weirdness that the original show does so well.

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa790]

Suggestion:mute it.

[@darkyagami6038]

@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa790 but then they could've put sfx too

[@sleeplessindefatigable6385]

that titles sequence is amazing, reminds me a little of the titles for kingdom hospital.

[@yarden513]

Kudos! This was great, keep up the good work!

[@JasonSpiritmender]

The music is excellent, one thing I always hate in videos, even tv shows and movies is how dark everything is. I like being able to see in films buy I'm sure it was necessary to do it this way.

[@ander.7597]

I feel like this has so much unintentional meaning... anyway, I love it! Hope you make more movie adaptations of the episodes.

[@fiveprimecap5749]

+Ande R. What meaning did you find?

[@cerulean22b69]

other than the music being a bit too loud (although extremely fitting and epic) this was great! this is possibly my favorite WTNV episode and you did it wonderfully! in real life I don't think I'd ever want to live in Night Vale but when listening to it I like to imagine I do :) if I did live in Night Vale I'd be a bit of a rebel and no one would ever find out :D

[@qwertydeluxe]

...is that "Inside the Mind of Simon"/"Mind Control"/"The Mind Electric" I hear (or rather, only the waitress hears) around 12:19?

[@qwertydeluxe]

Ahhh it IS! Along with other tracks from Hawaii: Part II! This is so fitting! You guys are dedicated! Great job with one of my favorite episodes of WTNV.

[@fiveprimecap5749]

qwertydeluxe OH MY GOD IM SO GLAD YOU RECOGNIZED IT!!! All of the tracks I used came off of their demo album: "Hawaii Part II part ii" which has all of their demos and instrumentals. This includes the Piano Version of "Murders." I would seriously recommend buying it, especially since they hinted at making new music!

[@qwertydeluxe]

Ahhh I knew it!!!

[@thesnakeinurboot]

@@fiveprimecap5749 omg i was literally listening to mind electric before this!

[@Roadent1241]

This was greatly enjoyed, I'm gonna watch the other one. I wonder how you guys would do a Kevin episode, if you still make these films? I loved how the characters are portrayed here, even if it's just lip-synced. I agree with some of the other comments that the music near the end was a little overpowering but aside from that, it was good.

[@cheezit1x1]

Pies won't help.

[@the-percival-ink]

i love this so much

[@noneofyourbusiness4133]

Imagine showing Cicil’s face in the first scene after the credits. :3

[@TroublingZeal]

HELLO?! WHY DID KZbin TAKE TEN YEARS TO SHOW ME THIS???????!!!! Edit to add my thoughts: This is really lovely, I do wish Cecil’s face would’ve been hidden and I also think some of the shots are extremely shakey and that makes some of them a little hard to watch. Other than that I think everyone did such an excellent job and I so envy everyone who had the opportunity to be involved!

[@fiveprimecap5749]

So glad that people are still enjoying this 10 years after it was made! We had zero budget and zero experience so it's really cool looking back that it is getting such a warm reception :)

[@interjectrobot]

It's really a shame what happened to night vale... Ah well. All good things must come to an end I guess, just a shame politics is what ended up doing them in

[@mariic2]

Have you ever considered doing the rest of the series?

[@fiveprimecap5749]

Glad you enjoyed it! Unfortunately I no longer have the time as I am at university. Also, I do not have the consent of Joseph Fink & Jeffrey Cranor, so I would not be comfortable raising money.

[@fiveprimecap5749]

I fully encourage other student filmmakers to pick up the torch and continue what I started! :)

[@professormohawk1]

only thing bad i can say about this is that the intro bit, using addams family and such things, didnt really make me think it was night vale, like, maybe it would have been better with out that bit, idk but the rest is great, good style and such good job
