How Kane Parsons directed BACKROOMS

#movies #backrooms #filmmaking I sat down with Kane Parsons in the BACKROOMS to talk about the making of BACKROOMS and how he transformed his YouTube horror series into a full scale feature film. We discuss the visual language of the film, blending Blender environments with practical sets, VHS degradation, office lighting, liminal spaces, and why Kane never wanted the movie to feel traditionally “cinematic.” We also get into THE OLDEST VIEW series. 00:00 Intro 01:07 Kane Parsons on Liminal Spaces 01:29 Early Filmmaking & Blender Origins 01:57 Recreating the Camcorder Look 03:08 Digital, VHS, & Visual Effects 04:54 Expanding OLDEST VIEW Into a Movie 06:40 Building the World of BACKROOMS 08:52 Lighting the Film & Office Aesthetics 09:35 Cinematography Breakdown 09:54 Production Design & Real Locations 12:56 Why BACKROOMS Doesn’t Feel Cinematic 15:22 Filming 360° Practical Sequences 16:47 The Creatures & Horror Elements 19:12 Blender vs Live Action Sequences 20:12 Creating the Giant Clerk Scene 21:15 Final Thoughts & Closing
