I wish you guys all the best... the current system really does need to be challenged and I believe you've got what it takes to do so.
I see you like corridor as well
yikes
The problem is the that most of their stuff lacks substance, plot, storylines. It seems they only focus on flashy visual effects and end up with forgettable content.
@@JCMaldonado13 I disagree. Of course, for 4 million subs they are making easy content. blablabal reacts to.... But to they are doing it in a unique, recognizable fashion. I believe they have enough interestes followers to support their goals beyond that.
Lennart Herrmann yes I agree with all of that, their content works great for TH-cam. But I’m not sure it will work for a subscription service.
corridor: inspires me to work in the film industry
also corridor: "we're giving up on the film industry"
me: :o
They are not in the film industry, they are an independent agency that subcontracts for the film industry.

@@UnsaltedCashew38 no, they're just in a different part of the industry
@@Daemonworks Yeah, the part that has no actual involvement in making Hollywood movies. They're TH-camrs. And now, even with 4 million subscribers, they're moaning because they don't have thousands of dollars of disposable income. Poor chaps. 😭

They really just tried to make you guys feel excited about the deal, get you in a hand-shaking kinda mood right before they pulled the rug out from under you. Emphasis on tried since you guys were smart enough to realize what they were doing.

I've been working in Hollywood for 20 years. Everything they said is 100%. My only gripe with them is Y'ALL JUST NOW REALIZING THIS?!!!
@@rayzrsharp we don’t work in hollywood buddy....
@@ohio The big picture is charts and graphs that say what people like. If you think that doesn't get in the way of art, then I think you're probably just a business major.
@@ohio Prioritizing money over artistic and personal values is not the flex you think it is. It's just greed.
I'd say this conversation's done, but I'm sure you won't feel satisfied unless you get the last word, so go ahead. Just know I won't be listening.
Good luck guys, film industry must be tough.
Tough is writing a script.
Ruthless is the industry itself.
I’ve had an awful experience as an extremely small filmmaker, the fact that people like Corridor have had just as much trouble is telling how ruthless it is.
Honestly the industry is tough but do you want to work in it anymore. Hollywood does not know how to make good films anymore. Everything good now is happening outside the US. Its so disappointing. There is only a hand full of director’s out there that make good original films. Everything else is just copy paste its so easy to predict every ending without watching the trailers. Case and point making another Halloween movie. For fuck sake the first one was a good movie everything else is shit just let him fucking die already, the new star wars movies after all the waiting and anticipation they Disneyfied it and made them shit.
This is just 2% of what producers do to a movie...
@@filipmanevski9872 Totally agree with you i can keep going on and on about today's movies too
IBlameNargles sounds like something to avoid for everyone other than those making massive $100,000,000+ films.

Hey corridor- I think it’s also a good idea to allow other creators on the platform if they ask. I can see this project attracting a lot of upcoming directors, and the competition for the best ideas will drive better content.
And more content!
There’s gonna be more traction if more people are promoting it and there’s more things on the site. They could possibly turn this into something really good but it’s gonna def need work
UPDOOT THIS
Yeah I think this is a missed opportunity to not allow other creators to submit on the platform.
Maybe it's a pilot. Also the subscription would have to be way pricier if you could "fund" multiple creators.
Brilliant. Evil S.O.B.
Seeing stuff like this, everything George Lucas did in the 70s makes perfect sense
Lucas had a subscription platform on youtube?
@@purefoldnz3070 he legit made both his own studio and sfx company. Lucasfilm and Industrial Light and Magic(later Pixar was created by Ilm) so he had very few strings attached to the industry.
@@javierpowell4705 He still made movies in the studio system to become independent. You cant just skip a step.
@@purefoldnz3070 Yeah but, he was independent by vision and funding, all he really needed was distributors, studios trusted he was a good movie creator, and lessened their corporate oversight into anything they were collaborating on. Arguably not truly independent, but still highly seperated from the corporate culture and free do as he pleased.
@@javierpowell4705 now Disney bought the company. Shame.
"Welcome to Hollywood where if you have an original movie script, we'll scrap it and make a copy of another one. Why does everyone hate us?"
Hmm I wonder why anyone would hate such a noble act

The best way to do something you want, is to build it yourself from the ground up.

@@miksuko Is "every other industry" as in your face, as alluring, as attractive, as fame-&-money as is the film industry?

Why are you all the way down the comments ?
I agree! This is so cool!

About ten years ago, I had a college class called "Conceptual Storytelling". The teacher raised our expectations by telling us that if we could come up with a good pitch, he could get us a meeting with studio execs who might buy it for a massive amount of cash. He then shattered our expectations by explaining how that idea would probably end up sitting in a vault somewhere, never to be made. Or, if it ever did get made, it would be practically unrecognizable.
The system isn't designed for creators. It's designed to make money. Unless your name is Quentin Tarantino, John Waters, Clint Eastwood, etc., your idea is going to be molded into something that a studio feels will make them the most profit.
I hope your idea succeeds. I think it's the best way forward, letting creators make what they want to make, and letting the people decide what they want to watch.
That sounds terrifying. I think one of the few ways to put your idea out into the world while still preserving the vision would be through novels or comics. Alhough, who knows, maybe even those indusries are similar?
And this is why most if not all movies made today completely suck. Let the creators create their vision.
@@enforcerridley158 A lot of movies in the past also sucked, we have just already forgotten about them because we wanted to, and never reveal their existence to new generations born at least one decade after they came out. But yes, the creators should be allowed to create their own vision because - would having more variety in mainstream films really be the end of Hollywood? I doubt it, because sometimes movies that people think will not make lots of money, actually do. That sort of turnout is not exclusive to original film properties, either. Because in 2023 alone, I saw how Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken and The Creator were original film properties with loads of potential that did not make bank, while Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and Wonka were a sequel and a prequel to established film properties that were surprisingly creative, and became very successful despite having a less than stellar opening weekend. I could tell that for once, Disney and WB let James Gunn and Paul King create their vision for those films and it probably paid off for them in spite of most of their other 2023 movies bombing.
You got my vote in: I admire when people take matters in their own hands. Good works guys.
Ayyy I used to try out igg for btd battles lmaoo
I love how the internet has allowed people to bypass the old systems in place for you to be able to release content. Musicians have been using it now to not have to commit to a record label so it would be great to see this be successful and give another option for people passionate about their art.
There are downsides to it, though. It's a lot easier to get into creating and publishing art nowadays thanks to how the internet has democratized content creation and distribution. But it's also much harder to stand out in that space. There is such a flood of content available to users that it's almost impossible to develop a following and get noticed unless you already have a brand.
Filmmaker Lulu Wang talked about that in a roundtable discussion with five other directors hosted by the Hollywood Reporter. Her film, The Farewell, had received an offer to be distributed on a streaming service, an offer she turned down. She knew that as a young director who was just starting her career, her film would get completely swamped out and barely seen by anybody. When talking about the experience, she drew a comparison to iTunes, saying that anybody can post music to iTunes but if you don't have a brand, no one will notice you.
The other problem is that the internet has also created market pressure to offer some content as cheaply as possible thanks to the proliferation of free websites like Spotify and TH-cam as well as the ease of piracy. This is especially true in the music industry. Talk to any musician and they'll tell you that it's actually harder to earn a living making music today than it was 20-30 years ago. Compared to the incomes artists could make from album sales back in the day, the payouts musicians make from streaming services is pennies.
Christopher G I see nothing negative about what you just said. Music is now in the hands of the consumer, not the hands of the creator. Which means we as consumers vote with our wallet. It also means that we won’t settle for low rate drivel. If content creators want more money, they will have to produce more quality content. Standing out in a crowd is THEIR problem, not ours.
@@mosesking2923 Except consumers are left with fewer and fewer options as musicians increasingly drop out of what is no longer a very promising profession. That leaves only musicians who are willing to create generic pop songs that appeal to as wide a net as possible.
Christopher G it’s the exact opposite. There are more options than ever before. Musicians can find niches in the market that they never even knew existed. If some artists make generic content, then that is their choice to pander to the masses. It’s always been that way. But the small niches will now be catered to. That’s the beauty of capitalism. Same thing is happening to online gaming and film.
Sub based systems are really tough when they are limited to single teams of creators. You make great content and I really wish you the best of luck with it.
Kinda like patreon ?
if I could subscribe to the website/ through/ patreon, I'd be more into it. Or if the site had content from more creators than just corridor, and they made a whole new kinda content ecosystem
@@treschlet The whole industry might evolve to that.
@@treschlet You can subscribe to the website through Patreon at the $5 tier or above.
I feel like they’ll need to bring in more people, or other channels to make enough content to support that price. Feel a little nervous for them.
Hollywood in a nutshell: You present an idea for a monster movie. Studio executives: "Cool, but does it have to be about a monster?"
“Ok, this is the greatest Monster movie that’s ever been presented to us, it’s incredible, we love it..........how do you feel about no monster & complete re-write?”
@@MichaelMusson-en7be King Kong 2005
And does it have to be a movie? How bout a webseries on a platform no one knows exists?
I’ve now seen several TH-cam creators now explore this path. As the consumer I’d prefer a collaboration (co-op) effort so much of my viewing and fees stays consolidated. Industry risks splintering the audiences.
Yeah, this is like College Humor's Dropout and they have quite a number of series that were on it.
Like what Acura Addicted said, FloatPlane is the thing they are looking for.
I feel like this type of site would have potential to be added to the CuriousityStream group once it gains a following. It would be cool to see Corridor join up and form part of the group, you could eventually build something to rival TH-cam.
"we love the script and ideas but lets rewrite the whole script and make it a horror movie" wtf is wrong with people? these greedy people make me so angry
It is a business as any other and the purpose of the business is to eliminate the financial risk and ensure the gain :) If you had 2 millions of dollars and wanted to spend them you would make hella sure that it all least break even...
Sad but true and if you are an artist the sooner you understand it the better.
Look at Chris Nolan or Soderbergh...you can make a popcorn movie to be an artistic experience at the same time. It is fokin difficult but anything is possible.
Fuck the domestic market, we do a production for the international market. And with that, i mean China. So, you make a horror movie, but you can't do ghosts and some other supernatural stuff, because the CCP don't like that. Also that guy that you want as the main character? Can't have him because he wrote some Pro HK tweet, can't have that now. Oh and we need some more product placement, like all of it. Chinese love american products.
@@ThePandoraGuy and since we still film it in US, don't forget your cast should meet diversity quotas, regardless of historical or geographical setting.
PRODUCER: But it won’t be just a *horror* movie, but it’ll be a *conventional* horror movie. 🤔
@@naverich4603 that is what I find most disappointing. While I understand the need to manage risk for a successful business model, it seems too rare that any risks are taken. The result is absolute butchery.
Reference to "The Dark Tower" and "Doom." great stories but after they went through the system were major disappointments.
I still can't believe someone thought resident eviling literal hellspawn was a good idea.
Question though:
How will you focus your time, energy, and money if you have multiple projects happening simultaneously? Will the project with the most money/subscriptions be the main focus? If so, will the quality of the other subscriptions diminish?
JohnGaal excellent question. I’m ok to support these guys but I don’t want to pay for two 5 minutevideos a month that are worth watching
I think the logical thing would be something like Kickstarter where only once an episode is funded past some threshold it starts being worked on.
sounds like they're gearin up to expand
which, I mean, makes sense since they're literally taking over more of the building they work out of
Their typical work flow revolves around doing multiple projects at one time. That's why they have multiple people on the team who can fit multiple roles (camera, director, writer, etc.). They already can divide and conquer, and from the sounds of it, they plan on being as flexible as they've already been with their TH-cam projects. I think this is a great opportunity for them, and they're probably set up the best to accomplish this.
ALSO, it very much sounds like the point of the website is to fund additional content that will then show up on TH-cam, rather than be exclusive to their website
You should’ve gone to blumhouse, he’ll throw money at anything
Yeah, but only $5 million
@@valentemartinez8935 with this Kickstarter like project, how many people need to subscribe and designate a preferred project to get more than 5 mil tho?
@@psd993 It's 125031 yearly subscriptions to get to 5 millions. Not impossible but hard to reach. I hope they can make it work though. It's important to have independent creators.
@@psd993 5 mil on an industry shoot means a lot goes to pleasing union requirements. They can run leaner on TH-cam
Corridor: We're starting our own monthly subscription site with exclusive content.
College Humour: You fools!
LOL I have been thinking about taking a look at Dropout, but then I think of all the other things I already have via Netflix, Viaplay etc. that I still haven't watched and just give up
@@flemmingpedersen567 Dropout is worth it for the Dimension 20 stuff, but that's truly unique content that's worth it for me. I don't know if Corridor is gonna have content that is truly worth it for me. Especially when I watch the reaction vids which definitely aren't worth a subscription fee to me.
College Humor: Decides to put all their eggs in the Facebook basket and died because of it. Their monthly subscription was doing fine but their major investment into facebook cause them to lose a LOT.
Let me take you to SwearNet and a little Canadian show called the Trailer Park Boys. This was launched back in early 2013. They were the first that I know of to do something like this.
@@HotRetroFire I hear ya - all the things I have seen from CC is "TH-cam good", but I still haven't watched anything that I want to pay for. But then, apart from 'Ashens and the Quest for the Gamechild' I have not seen a larger production from a TH-camr that I liked enough to see it twice.
You are right that Dimension 20 is interesting, but Brennan just rubs me the wrong way somehow - I don't know why, I just dislike him on the screen. I do kind of want to see all of 'Kingpin Katie' though.

now give us money lol
Purefoldnz Wait till you find out how film makers make money
I feel this personally and I'm really happy for you guys! This somewhat happened with me but not on the scale of your channel of course. We gave out a few ideas and got approached by a corporation that stated they liked our stuff but were trying to change the core roots of everything we stood for. Essentially we had zero say in the product and we would've spent two years making something and would have zero rights to it. I hope the website works out for you guys, you did what very few channels on TH-cam were able to do: you actually created a successful business based solely around TH-cam filmmaking (not gaming, streams, etc).
Let Clinton and Nick L know I miss them! Was an honor meeting some of your crew.
-Collin
I love the idea of you guys being able to do some really cool projects, but does this mean everything is going to be behind a paywall in the future? Or is it just specific shows?
I think it will be somewhat like patreon, you will be able to see the show episodes early if you want by giving money to that specific show; it would really suck if all their videos would be behind a paywall, I dont think everyone who watches the videos has spare cash to spend for those videos
From what I understand, you're using money to vote for the shows you want to see. That money goes into funding for the show
From my understanding, it works like this:
You sub for whatever a month.
You choose something that they are pitching on that site that you wanna see made.
- In turn, they get funding and get to keep their idea the way they want.
Whatever gets funded to a full extent gets made and released on youtube (Probably with Subs/Patreon getting early access to that content)
they're basically avoiding the major industry "Best and safe practices" so they can still make big-budget films without their vision shattered.
What he means is he is going to continue making things that you can pay for that you want but what majority wants will be on TH-cam
That wasn't what they meant, maybe you didn't watch the video carefully.
The people who subscribe will be able to decide which shows the corridor crew should work on. They'll have a say in it, and they will be the ones financing it. At the end, everyone can watch that content (There's obviously gonna be some privileges for the ones paying like earky access to content or stuff but im okay with that)
EA full on backstabbed tf outta Corridor Crew...Absolute scum of the Earth(EA).
TH-cam Red Backstabbed tf outta Corridor Crew...
Random Producers backstabbed tf outta Corridor Crew...
On their biggest projects it's been corporate backstabs....like jesus christ how do you guys keep going out of that feeling so positive?
Keep going your own route guys, can't wait to see the website! Hopefully the youtube channel isn't affected by it.
Its Nikos positive vibes, they're infectious
Turtle really? That is so harsh, I imagine that they have a reputation in the film industry for being backstabbed all the time.
Welcome to the corporate world. Remember that executives and accountants very rarely, if ever, have hands on experience with regards to the process for people who actually have to execute the plan as well as the finer details. They do not understand that doing those things is easier said than done and much harder and slower than they would like. As shitty as it is, this is pretty much why there is always this "conflict" between execs/accountants in upper level management who don't actually understand the process and the filmmakers/writes/etc that do. Isn't just limited to film either, this happens across most other sectors as well.
Yeah... Is this really U.S cooperation culture?... where rather to help nurturing small company that can be benefit to everyone, they will suck them dry and leaving nothing but dust...
Because when they come threw and the projects done they probably feel great
The BIG question: Is there possibility and room for OTHER creators to strike a deal and have their longer narrative content seen on this site?
Absolutely. Hard agree this is the big one.
I think this would open up new possibilities for tons of creative people that just can't have their voices heard in this industry.
If that’s the case, this site could grow like crazy and be a big new thing. I hope that’s what happens.
I think if they eventually let other creators create for this new platform it would really bring it to the next level, truly competing with the traditional Hollywood system.
TheMajorNerd this would be the best possible thing to do with the site, imo
Dang man.... That's pretty freeakin cool!
no its not
Will it be a success? Maybe, maybe not. I hope it will.
There is a sea change coming in the entertainment industry (all of it - TV, movies, live music, etc.) and people are going to have to take chances on new systems like this one.
Go get 'em!
change yes, but its a subscription service which we honestly seen them come and go by the dozen, hell the website they mentioned called go90 was freaking free and it failed bad.
Our Founders would be a good documentary.

The most baffling thing is Corridor crew not complying with the TH-cam 10 minutes video quota.
@@ashtalkes6745 yet they still dont comply

@@ashtalkes6745 I see you get your tech news from the right place...
@@sruxro Yup, it was confirmed that 8 is the new 10 minutes. And quality of videos will be put ahead (prioritised over) length of them

"cool we love your movie, I'd love to make it, here's a timeline. Only catch you've gotta completely change it" corporate gaslighting at its finest
Not what gaslighting is, that would be a bait-and-switch but good point.
@@garfellow5038 I swear "gaslighting" has changed it's meaning over the past few years
Love the idea and the motives behind it, but I've never seen a youtube channel pull this off. The youtube lifecycle used to last longer when companies could make a living off this platform, but we r nearing the bubbles bursting point. Corridor has grown, theyve invested in themselves and now they are doubling down again on an off platform idea... the success rate is low and I see the divide/confusion in the comments already. Hopefully corridor has some good feature films because idk who's gonna pay for a vlog, and hopefully those films land in the right hands and they can become something legit within hollywood.
nah corridor can do it, they're not like other TH-cam channels imo
@Joey, my thoughts exactly; Hope it works; Suspect it wont.
LouderWithCrowder has successfully done it for years now. He calls it MugClub
@@rorymcgregor625 The main difference with Crowder's Mug Club is that you also get access to BlazeTV's entire library - which means being able to watch more than just Crowder. I think if Corridor would do the same and team up with a few other similar creators in a bundled subscription deal, that would increase their chances of subscriptions like Crowder.
RoosterTeeth has done pretty well with their off youtube subscription stuff (albeit with some kerfuffles & hurdles). I wish them the best but I probably won't be subscribing to pay for particular shows. Maybe an existing service like FloatPlane would have been a good fit & they wouldn't have needed to build any technology for that to work.
All that said, if they were to crowdfund a feature length project or make one & it was available for stand-alone purchase I'd be down for that.
Either way I wish them success. I think they have the right idea in going around the system & playing by their own rules rather then trying to get into it & making less engaging content.
I'm genuinely chuffed for you guys.
"The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking."
I'm just happy that you're keeping the price low. 4€ is a pretty generous price. I love your content but i also don't want to pay a fortune to watch it. I'm also very much okay with paying money to see your content. I know that you're a big studio and in order to sustain your selves you need money. Not only will this increase the quality of your lives but also your content. Either way, i support this 100%
Was the website made wi-
*"TODAY'S SPONSOR IS SQUARE SPACE"*
Wix
actually yes, it is
With everyone and their great-grandmother having some sort of "streaming service" or pay-for-website, it's getting awfully crowded.
Your assuming I have streaming services.
streaming is the new cable tv with attached packages and subscription fees all included baby!
Kind of nice having more direct choice in who my money is going to though tbh.
@@skywrecker the big difference being with cable tv if you just want a specific channel, you have to pay for 200 other channels you don't want just to get access to the one you do. With subscriptions you can choose on a month to month basis which content you want to put your money towards.
It’s content created direct to consumer. It’s really going to be about quality of the product (which we know CC can do) and the price point (and how it will fluctuate over time). I like to support content creators and would much rather spend 30-40 bucks a year per creator in that community than hand it off to the CEO of a conglomerate that can offer a slightly lower price. It’s like eating locally-produced food: it may cost more but there’s a big upside to supporting your community. The concern, as ever, is what happens when it is successful? Do they go pyramid or wide?

@@FilmFire96 They're investors. They only care about going the safe route for a maximum return for their money. They don't care about making an actually good or meaningful movie.
@@Axolotl_Mischief That's completely true but that doesn't change the fact that there has been a high concentration of remakes and unwanted sequels over the past decade that have not done very well because of being driven by strict limitations of the industry and pursuit of money instead of a drive from passion and creativity about the project. It makes sense that if a product reaches the largest amount of people that should make the most money, but that is a very short term perspective for a franchise and doesn't allow for full creative expression of a vision. Just because there are good remakes doesn't change the fact that there are still significant players who are making movies for the wrong reasons, and when the whole point of a movie is to entertain, and the intent of the movie shifts from being entertaining to appeasing the masses, that's a problem.
I really hope this doesn't mean less content on TH-cam, having it all locked behind a paywall.
Looking forward to seeing how this all works. Always paving the way! thanks guys!
I'm sure you hear this a lot, I cannot fully express my appreciation for the effort, drive and passion you guys put into everything you give to us. It takes a lot of mental encouragement and courage to keep up with what your now calling your own type of system. And thank you for that.
What is your comment supposed to mean
You’re not supposed to show the monster until the second half at least!
best director winner Bong Joon Ho begs to differ
That's what she said
Tell that to Guillermo Del Toro.
I suggest talking to the LTT crew and what they did with floatplane. On the technical side they have really done well with their video encoding/streaming capabilities. They seem to have the same mindset that y'all have in regards to having a sustainable way to have creators find their audience and get direct support from them. At least for a technical conversation, I bet they would be more than willing to help in some capacity.
But rush was so cool and even your previous series and movies were great
Not the point. They didn't enjoy it.
I don’t think that really matters. As someone who is aspiring a career in film and music, I’ve made a few things people thoroughly enjoy and I did not enjoy making it or enjoy the project itself. It’s really about what you want to make.
Problem is nobody saw it and being strung along the whole process
Hey thanks! It means a lot to me that you enjoyed them! -Niko
@@CorridorCrew I'm currently trying to perfect my blender skills for images and animations (but limited to low spec laptops as I'm in school) and some unity. But it is inspiring seeing your shows and movies. It's not just enjoyment but also admiration of the amount of work and skill that you guys use. Thank you guys for everything, the fun moments and all the great content.
I've been a fan for years now, genuinely love the majority of what you guys do, and totally support you wanting to grow and pursue more ambitious creative projects, but I have a few questions:
1. Is this new service supposed to be in addition to the 1,952 people that already support you on Patreon or are you planning to migrate away from that platform?
2. What about your new site is going to allow you to overcome the problems that tanked every other subscription service associate with TH-cam, including Red?
Yes, imo they should've ditch patreon in favor of their own website soon, adjust the pricing as well. As for your 2nd question, it allows them to raise money to get the budget for that film they already made the script of. If this new subscription failed, they just simply won't make feature film and just create short vfx yt videos as usual.
Yeah exactly. What is the real difference to a Kickstarter financed movie, except that the viewers can vote on it?
they could make it so people on patreon get portion , up to full sub perks for the website, maybe, idk
I had the same exact question about Patreon. I've been hoping to support them one day when I'm in a better financial situation, and if it's a choice between Patreon and this, I'm not sure which I would choose.

This is the perfect time to go against the "old boys club" too; with all the theaters being closed and all.
You'd think they'd be desperate to help out the next generation and getting their feet wet with new media...
Screw them.. You're better off by yourself. Or even, as some already commented, making a platform to solve the issue for all the small media creators like yourself... Keep on creating. If you make original sci-fi/horror videos, people will pay...
@Stellvia Hoenheim a lot of people will, and a lot of people do. There are dozens of creators on Twitch who make tens of millions a year off of good-will donations while they stream videos games.
Corridor are onto something here, and I'm stoked to see where it goes :)
As a backstage tech (sound engineer, specifically) in the live events industry, this is actually exciting to hear. Innovation and evolutions on HOW to produce creative content is so important, and I'm glad that Corridor is ditching the film industry's traditional system. I'm sure Brandon at StressLevelZero is all about this.
It's so sad seeing the system being so demoralizing for actual creativity.
CGI artists have always gotten the shaft in hollywood and personally hollywood might be going broke soon so i'd distance myself too if I were them.
Idea: Once a month have a poll deciding on which outside director/creator the audience wants to see on the corridor platform make something. Gives variety and incentive for people outside our bubble to look into it.
While I applaud the ingenuity, I feel like this is basically creating another streaming service to subscribe to in a landscape that's already getting saturated. Granted, this sounds more like What Rooster Teeth has been doing for a while now which is fair and different enough from Hulu and netflix, but now it means asking people to leave a site they're already spending all hours of the day on to go over to another. The fans get split between those who can and will undoubtedly spend the money, and those who won't or can't for whatever reason. (on a side note: I watched Rush through my PC on Go90, I didn't see any phone requirement. I just went there to support you guys, but had no interest in anything else they had to offer.)
I think you hit the nail on the head. While it might sound like a good idea on paper, at the end of the day the whole monthly subscription for video content market is extremely saturated at this point. As much as I love these guys and their content really the last thing I care for is adding onto how much money I spend every month for video content. Not to mention asking people to change platforms to see content doesn't usually go very well. It creates this big rift between the small amount of hardcore fans who will support anything and everything versus the massive majority that aren't all gung ho about throwing their money at something.
I agree 100%. It's segregating the market too much. Why pay $3.99 per month for only their content when $10-15 with Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, or anyone else gives you a TON of diverse content? It just doesn't make any sense.
I think the best way to think about this is like a Patreon for a youtuber that does reaction videos. The use Patreon as a source of additional income to allow them to commit more to the channel and those who pay money are going to be the people who are big fans of the channel already and now have a way to interact and influence in a meaningful way with a channel they really enjoy.
I totally agree
@@bestieswithtesties You also hit the nail :D
The problem i see is that these guys are on TH-cam. They are not the only ones doing this kind of Content. The only thing that makes this Channel worth watching is the Crew itself. The actuall information in the Videos is worthless many times. But cool people are everywhere on TH-cam. And i would bet major money some Channels are already working on a replacement for the Content Corridor cant make after this.
What i see happening is that this Channel sort of dies because the viewers go to differen Channels and the crew being left with a small community that progressfly get smaller and a dead Channel.
As you said, most people already pay for 3 On Demand Sites, and are not willing to pay for yet another one. I mean, Disney + for example at least had the argument that Disney makes 50% of all Movies, so you actually get something for your Money. Same with Netflix. But i dont think many people will see the Corridor content worht the payment considering all of the above.
This is the logical next step for you guys, and I'm definitely subscribing. I already considered from listening to your podcasts when you mentioned it back in january. I remember you guys mentioning that 1 month of subscription ($3) is worth about as much as a thousand views on YT, which is crazy. For a company which has grown to sustain nearly a dozen families, I can only support this.
Thanks! Having a direct relationship with you guys, without a big corporate middleman, will be huge. I can’t wait to see what kind of new shows it will enable us to make for you!
@@CorridorCrew i dont think you should've dedicated an entire video to your website, im broke and it feels like im gonna miss out on all of the amazing content you put on youtube. I hope you guys upload your projects on youtube after a while
@@ashmitbajpai390 Considering that their TH-cam channel probably earns them more than most of their viewers earn the whole thing seems a bit ungrateful and self-absorbed. They get to do pretty much what they want, and what they love to do, TH-cam provides them with a far-reaching platform and they still find ways to feel hard done by. Meanwhile 1 billion people don't get to eat every day. If I could afford to I know who I'd rather donate a few dollars to.
Basically, they're not professional script writers but they're hoping to get a script turned into a movie, and hopefully that will serve as a springboard towards mega success. And they're annoyed because it ain't happening! 😆
First off I just want to say I'm a huge fan, I've been subbed since 2011 (this isn't my original account) and I have loved almost everything y'all have done over these 9 years. Now i'll say good luck to y'all and I'm not going to wish y'all ill will but I'm not willing or able to pay for this new website. I'm on a fairly tight budget and the one subscription service I pay for is youtube premium, I do this because I don't watch cable, I only watch youtube and finally bit the bullet a few months ago when I decided I could finally afford it. Now while I love yalls stuff I cant warrant spending $4 a month which we all know wont stay at that price forever just to see a few extra videos here and there.
TLDR: I love yalls work and I'll hate to start missing videos that y'all make especially after I've watched almost everything y'all have put out in the last 9 years. But I guess it was nice while it lasted.
P.S. it was dubstep guns that made me subscribe and its still a favorite of mine
Hey, thanks for your support over all these years. Our TH-cam videos aren’t going anywhere. We’ll still be making the same videos we always do on our channels, and the website will be a way for us to explore making additional new content directly with all of you. But we still love the TH-cam side of Corridor and always will! Thanks for watching. -Niko
@@CorridorCrew Well that's great to hear and as I said in my first comment I do wish y'all luck with anything that y'all do. I also just want to truly say thank you for the countless hours I have spent watching and enjoying the content y'all create for viewers like me.
@@CorridorCrew can you explain the real rift of NODE. Your video response that has D from months before I think left a lot of people dissatisfied.
@@Cthulhu013 I dont pay for it but i have access to an amazon prime account, but i hardly use it. I just enjoy watching content on here far more than any tv show or movie, hell the only thing ive followed as long as i have channels on here has been the mcu. Also i do use the youtube music app and primum gives me the ability to turn off my screen while the audio still plays.
Everyone saying to check out Floatplane, it's not like Corridor came up with this Website and made it yesterday or even last month. Websites take some time to create, and websites featuring certain services take even longer to fully flesh out with ideas and functionality. Odds are Corridor was deep in the process of creating this website before they found out Floatplane which released just this year.
LTT has been publicly vocal about Floatplane for three years now. It's the beta version that was released recently. Nico and Linus know each other, so if corridor was knee deep in building a video platform, they'd probably have talked tech no?
@@jakobvanklinken I'm really just giving them the benefit of the doubt. I can also see why Corridor would want their own platform either way.
Corridor: keep making things that will make you proud in 5-10 years! That is how you find true success.

*Sam:* Because now..

Prob less pedophiles and rapists in porn then Hollywood 🤣
@@jimmy12347654 I know what you're trying to say but there are definitely way more in the porn industry.

There are also a lot of rape videos out there too.
Hellya you got me lol
@@kingkea3451 Yeah you are right of course, just a dark joke at Hollywood's expense
I'd watch the hell out of Corridor-produced porn. It'd probably be crap-ton better than current industry-produced porn.
As a college student majoring in Film, it’s a little bit worrying to see a bunch of these studios not respecting the creativity and the original ideas of filmmaking entrepreneurs. I have quite a few ideas and stories I want to see be made into films, but I’m worried if I let those ideas fall into the hands of these giant businesses they’ll just ruin it and take away from the pure artistic side of it all.
Glad to see you guys are sticking to your guns and not letting anyone change your artistic vision. Hopefully we’ll see the best version of your film here one of these days. 👍
As a film graduate being inspired by Corridor Digital.....I'm pretty bummed that even these guys cant get taken seriously....Id kill to have a channel like there's...Something is really wrong with the industry my friend.
Awesome! Congrats on figuring this out so we, the audience, can enjoy your amazing work! I can’t wait to be a part of helping you make your dreams a reality.
Here's why I probably wouldn't watch something you release: I love you guys, and your content, a whole lot. However, I think you guys are hitting the film-making industry with the wrong approach. You are all VFX specialists and are capable of creating and shooting incredibly cool and interesting movies. However, it seems to me that you guys are making the movie centered around some really cool shot or scene. However, in order to have me hooked in whatever it is you will release, you must create a story that's focused on the narrative, create a cool script and concept, and then figure out the best way to bring that concept to life on the screen. I understand that VFX are cool, but I can watch a 5 minute clip of your movie and I'll have the same gain. In order for me to watch a feature length film you release, it has to be good narratively first.
TLDR: The only way I think I'd watch the film is if it has a strong narrative, regardless of how it looks.
This is the most important comment on this thread. Reflects my views.
agreed. films are stories. they live and die on narrative (...the script). FX embellish a narrative, not the other away around. that said, these guys are totally capable of pulling off every single other element in practice. Let’s see what they do
Well only time will tell man. Maybe they do have some great original story ideas brewing that works best using their skills in VFX. I would be excited if they where genuinely able to wow me with something cool I’ve never seen before. I’d think, “wow what is this? I gotta find this!” Would be reason enough for me.
I do give you the benefit though in that your right, if they wanna show off something cool then great, they can make a short and put it on TH-cam which they’ve been doing :P
But 90+ min needs a narrative back bone otherwise I’ll just be thinking “This isn’t going anywhere, I feel the need to do something else.”
I mostly watch their content for inside industry perspectives and vfx breakdowns. It's kinda rare I actually watch their vfx /story projects cause they're mostly mid tier vfx demo reels. The stories usually aren't that interesting cause the writing is just a vehicle for a vfx comp (which don't look bad but they're not mind blowing) and they don't usually have the budget to pull off impressive visual spectacle style vfx. I like their work, and love their commentary but outside of giving them a sub and the occasional like I don't think I'd pay them $5 a month to watch JUST their content( I might buy a t shirt to support them). Considering when their output is like 6 to 10 videos a month across all their channels, there are already alot of streaming services out there and now they're competing with these companies with less variety and less quality content.
I hope things go well for them cause I would hate for them to disappear, I'd imagine covid probably affected their bottom line which is why they're probably trying to be their own middle man to lower their overhead, but i feel like they need to grow in other areas first if they really want to take off more and succeed.
Onbuisuly most people know that you didn’t have to write a long paragraph to make people think you know about film🙄
I've been watching Corridor for years, so hearing this is actually pretty big. Studying film and trying to get into the industry is tough, and hearing the issues people who I've come to respect have had, really helps highlight a lot that just isn't touched on in the conventional education system. So I'll be watching and waiting for the site I think.
It also entirely does not surprise me that EA were back and forth on 'Rush', they are a nightmare of a company in so many ways.
when they said "We’re Giving up on the Film Industry," I felt that.
I Love You considering their track record and how they keep getting shafted when it comes to film opportunities I’d say they deserve it tbh
@I Love You I did get rather turned off when they mentioned ANOTHER subscription service. All while 40% of businesses shut down during a lock down, while we reach 52 days of none stop rioting in some citys.
@@floodrunner_2042 They don't keep "getting shafted", they're consistently turned down because nobody wants to buy what they're selling. Big difference. And being turned down doesn't mean they deserve to receive funding from elsewhere.
@@SoullessAIMusic Well said. They don't seem to realize how lucky they are!
Been here for a long time guys, love your stuff, keep it chill, don’t stress it, love you guys.
For a moment i thought they where gonna jump to the game industry 😂
Honestly, I almost feel like that would be better when you see how well Brandon pivoted after splitting off from FreddieW
It would legitimately be a better idea than what they’re proposing here.
They would certainly make more money in that industry than in the film industry
I would buy so many games from them!
They’d be better off trying to improve VR to more of an AR kinda deal.
I feel that, years from now, when Corredor Crew is a household name and someone creates a TH-cam documentary regarding them, this will be listed as one of those moments that set them up for success. Excited for all of the upcoming series!! Love you guys!
Don't mean to sound pessimistic but this will either be a success or complete destruction.
@@jacobhoekman6865 I hear you and thank you for sharing your opinion. There's definitely potential for either way. That's always a risk of trying something new or innovating. In the end, my trust and faith in them gives me hope they'll create something great. Time will tell.
I've watched 100 seconds and are immediately heartbroken when the mention tether
Edit:The mention making ten Tethers BY NOW NOOOOOO 😢
I always watch your videos love your videos even though I have seen all of your videos 2 or three times before
But I just wanna support you guys so I leave my phone on Playlist with auto play so you can make more revenue from utubeee
Damn man that's really cool of you, I wish they could see this🔥🔥
Wait does this mean that we won't have the "wonderful" compression that TH-cam uses it's hosted Videos!?!? Cause that sounds amazing!
Ye theres a lot less compresion on the website
not sure about that. Internet traffic costs a lot
My two cents: It makes sense to me. Having more control over how your content is distributed and how you make money off it makes sense. Rooster Teeth and Linus did it and I can't believe more people don't do that already. However, I see some risks.
Take just the amount of people that aren't subscribed to the TH-cam channel every weekend on "artists react" and I imagine even less people will subscribe to the website. I'm sure you've done the math and one person subscribing probably will get you way more value out of its equivalent on TH-cam. What I would be worried about is the actual amount of people who will subscribe in the short term for this to generate the content like the movies and that. I personally think it won't get to that for a really long time if even.
I personally can't subscribe but I wish you luck.
Knew i had heard this idea before from Linus that man is so smart :)
This move by Corridor reminds me of a quote that Freddie Wong said, I am paraphrasing but here it goes. "I would rather have the commitment of 4,000 subscribers that support what we are doing, than 40,000."
They already have a Patreon, Perhaps since that decision, they have discovered how to include their audience and the direction of their productions and must have created results that made them confident enough to make this website.
*your content
Rooster Teeth had to sell.
Linus did well, Rooster Teeth screwed people over
I’m going to call it now.
They’re going to be like Rooster Teeth.
While the website is probably similar to how Rooster Teeth uses their site, I doubt Corridor will try an buy/incorporate other channels in order to diversify. This just seems like Corridor is going to use their site for exploring their own ideas with direct fan support.
This is exactly what I thought! I don't think it'll be exactly the same, but I think their website will be its own community outside of youtube. I love this direction
Hopefully they don't turn into roosterteeth.
@@dragnipur4746 I agree, whilst I love RoosterTeeth and have for years. What they've become over say the last 5 years isn't the RoosterTeeth I grew up with and doesn't really resemble it anymore!
I hope they don’t because rooster teeth is kind of dead already
I love watching y’all’s videos because I really want to learn the filmmaker way I’ve made a couple little movies with my pals but, I love learning new ways of filming and it’s really what I want to do with my life, and I’m gonna try to get there one day, but anyway if you read this thank you for everything you do
Super exciting! Good luck guys!
KUDOS to you for exploring unique methods to make your passion a reality. I'll be thrilled to join you for the ride and wish nothing but the best for you all. Good luck. Can't wait.
One of the funniest jokes for me is that on The Verge's podcast, they have a rating system of a streaming service's likelihood of failing, from zero to Go90.
I worked for a verizon call center and we kept hearing about shit on go90 but no one knew what it was. I'm pretty sure at the time there were promos related to downloading it or something.
Corridor Crew - neat idea for a video. There is a video on TH-cam called "NEW: Mars in 4K" would be cool to see some CGI on these 4K plates that show what a terraformed Mars might look like.
I mean, I loved what this channel is right now. I hope this doesnt go the College Humour path. I used to love their content. But now they have " a website " with a subscription model... and now they dont release any videos on theirr youtube. And I cant watch them, just because I cant afford to subscribe. You guys do whatever you wanna do... but ill be sad to lose another gold channel that i learnt so much from. Thats why i watch all the ads on this channel
The way I understand it is that they get the subscription to afford to shoot the videos and then they'll all get released on the youtube channel. That way the people who want to support them financially have a say in what we get, but no one gets shafted to watch it with a subscription. I could be wrong tho.
They still release the videos on their youtube. Some of them are just shorter or come out a little later. Of course they have exclusives, they need money. They literally went bankrupt, they need funding.
...they stopped uploading to the youtube cause Collegehumor was not making money. Later they lost funding and a veteran executive basically bought majority ownership to try and keep it afloat and save his employees. TH-cam ad revenue does not mean shit for a company, dude. There are plenty of reasons to dislike they're newer content, but disliking a paywall for something that costs money to make because they literally could not afford to feed themselves otherwise is just depressing.
I think it will be structured just like their patreon. Only that hey have more control over the website and I see it more like a second platform, incase should something happen to their TH-cam channel. I think a good example would probably be Nebula which is a collab between most education TH-cam channels or Floatplane by Linus Tech Tips.
Also they still upload frequently to TH-cam, just not as much.
It’s so weird thinking about how young I was when I first say corridor, I vividly remember 10 years ago discovering videos like last Minecart and art of insta kill when it was like only niko and Sam and now they are all a big studio about to make and launch their own film site, just awesome
Except the site is probably going to be a disaster. But eh, all good things come to an end.
oh man. remember when Freddie stopped making content on TH-cam in pursuit of the higher echelon of the film industry?
..yeaah..
thank you for staying here and realizing that not every goal has to be on the top,Corridor.
Man I miss freddiew so bad
Website seems like a great idea but I think this would be a missed opportunity to not allow other creators to submit on the platform. I know that seems like a whole other world you would have to monitor and create but if you think about it. This website is just another hurdle to seeing your content. Since coming to youtube is just so smooth and optimal.
maybe this could be a rival to youtube finally?
That's sort of like another Floatplane
@@halosam2963 Also seems like a fiction-based CuriosityStream
You are almost describing Floatplane, you should check that out.
They'll be going to Floatplane after they realize that reinventing the wheel is harder than they thought. Floatplane is ready for Corridor Digital. Give Luke a call.
@@Diabolos1 And what happens down the line if those in charge decide to change their tune?
I think it's better for Corridor to have control of their own thing; at least for the time being.
Nico did appear in an LTT video a while back, I'm sure they gave it a thought, maybe it seems too close to going for another corporation for them? Idk. Funding movies is usually bigger money than a floatplane or patreon subscription, so that's the reason? Who knows. I agree however with the other comments, that building your own Netflix service is is a lot of extra work and costs, I don't see it paying off for a long time
Floatplane is a dead project. It always was.
I hope this goes well for y’all! Just curious how many uploads will still make it to TH-cam? I’ve been watching for years and undoubtedly would subscribe to yalls service but I fear it’s going to be harder to build up more viewership if there’s not as much new viewable content
I think there idea is like Patreon, but Patreon won't take a cut, and every movie has its own Patreon. Movies would still be free
We won’t be changing anything about our TH-cam uploads. The site will be for new shows directly funded by you guys, in addition to an ad-free watching experience for any of the content we put on TH-cam, plus a bunch of other features. More details to come when we launch out of beta in a few weeks!
Corridor Crew will we be getting vlogs and stuff like corridor every other day, because a wren one wheeling show would be great
I’m poor as fuck so can’t afford much more than my internet and phone and I would have been gutted to lose the react videos. Love you guys.
Big announcement the entire video in my head: tether coming back, tether coming back, oogah boogah they mentioned *Tether*
Actual big announcement: website... Because we could have done so many Tethers
So you're telling me there's a chance.
Gosh I hope so
same
I read that last part in the voice of Lloyd Christmas.
Super exciting, with you all the way guys!!
I like what the Yes Theory guys did with their "The Lost Pyramid" documentary. They went out and filmed it with their own money and then released it under a "pay what you think is fair" model.
Basically, before watching the documentary, the viewer got to decide how much they should pay for it. Now, I don't know how much money they actually made from it, but from what I remember, they were really satisfied with the model. And after a couple of months, they released their documentary on their youtube channel so everyone can see it. That way, they made money from their most loyal followers and the people that could afford to pay, but the people who couldn't pay or decided not to also got to see the movie.
I believe something like this can work for Corridor as well. I'm not saying that your idea is bad, I just think that it's much more likely someone to pay a one time fee to get access to a show they like to see, as opposed to paying a monthly subscription.
Yesss
I really appreciate how much you consider the fans when you’re making decisions like this.
As someone who almost was a host on a national cable show, I feel y'all on the system fuckery.
Wishing you guys the best of luck we will be following you!

Hey man, if anyone deserves it, it's them.
I feel that this is an attempt to keep their efforts featured close to heart, with those who care most. Rather than sharing content on youtube, Patreon etc. and the various other social media streams which constantly prove that they don't respect the value of protecting contextual and creative content from being constantly plagiarized and used for negative use. Corridor is calling an audible. Just like major film corporations, they're simply protecting their investment by removing these angles and by asking those who believe to essentially become part of both the process and team.
In theory, they have a sound hypothesis here for brand development. Although I see major needs for continued content and support for such a request, I see potential here and hope they succeed post 4 million subs and years of great, free content see to this and hope that their team that is in place and budgeting needs will be sufficient for such an effort.
Basically, corporate greed and free lancers don't go well together.
@@Mitaka-Asa Corporate greed works perfectly fine with free lancers. The issue is that a lot of the people running the show are fucking dumb as hell and wouldn't see a profitable venture even if took a giant shit in front of them.
You realize their main channel has over 7 million subs right?
@@ajayaplays I was confused about that too
@@ajayaplays I know. Even more of a reason to focus on their direct follower base. Imagine if all funding could actually reach the artists involved. I can appreciate this over a third party company that doesn't protect their user's content and can change the monetary response generated with an algorithm designed to make the company money rather than support those whos produce 100% of the product the third party is selling. That being said I'm sure they won't abandon the multimillion fan base build on such platforms but may suggest they lean in an alternate direction for extended and perhaps higher quality and in-depth approach and "Join in the family" for a low cost and #producerpoints I might add Lol.
Anyways, this is just my input as someone in the industry and as a fan, I wish success and have signed up myself.
I'm sure you've thought about it really hard. I love the idea of your own website were people can finance these projects but a monthly subscription doesn't appeal to me. Wouldn't it be better if you pitch the projects and tell us what budget you need and people can donate to that project specifically until the goal is reached?
That brings into play all sorts of other legalities. And if paying for another month is too much, cancel.
You could jump in and out like everyone did for Disney + when the mandalorian premiered. Wait until something big is coming and jump in and check out all the exclusive content for an month then leave. It's more or less the same as a single lump sum
you guys are incredible, been watching for over a decade , learning, you help me shape my own career
I'm getting a Roosterteeth First membership vibe. Would love to see breakdowns and educational videos like film and editing
