One of the big things on YouTube in recent months (early 2022, for those of you in the future) has been “The Backrooms.” These are short film clips taking place in an odd, yellowish series of corridors. They are, of course, inhabited by a series of strange monsters.
They follow the tradition of “found footage” movies, a genre I find mostly annoying, but they’re interesting.
I decided I wanted to do something similar, with a single static scene of a corridor. And by “similar” I mean something that generates the same sense of vague unease. My corridor is toothpaste-green, rather than custard yellow, and the camera stays put.
It was a fun thing to try and figure out.
Enjoy, and thanks for stopping by.
