my therapist said once "we get good at what we practice, so be careful what you practice" and tbh she was so right for that but also How Dare You??? open my eyes like that???

You know what I find fascinating about the Backrooms movie? How having a budget forced them to do things practically.

Think about it. On his own Kane Pixels was making backrooms YouTube videos using the free software Blender. Because he was just a 16 year old kid doing this for fun in his spare time.

But now he’s got to direct a feature length movie. And if he wants actors running through those same blender environments, that’s going to be super expensive hiring visual effects companies to rotoscope and green screen composite and motion track all those shots. A handful of visual effect shots can cost thousands of dollars a day.

So what’s the solution? JUST FUCKING BUILD IT.

It’s cheaper to just build 30,000 square feet of walls and wallpaper than it is to composite 500 effects shots.

What about the monster? JUST BUILD A PUPPET. It’s cheaper to build a puppet and hire a really tall thin guy to operate it than it is to 3D model, animate, and composite it into the film. And look! Bonus! Anytime the puppet interacts with the real world it looks REAL. Because it’s a real physical object in the set!

You need your character to run through a room of couches? Just buy (or rent) a bunch of couches and put them in a room!

And even when you do use visual effects for set extensions, you still film as much practically as possible. Like my favorite example, when Mary runs out into this alleyway… JUST FILM A REAL ALLEYWAY OUTSIDE and add the walls in post!

And this is all because the movie even HAD a budget that it necessitated them doing things practically and cheaply. What a weird paradoxical situation, huh?

There should be an equivalent to asking "how's the wife and kids?" that's like "so how's that fictional man of yours doing?"
