Some people criticizing him about vfx . Look at him alone he is doing every thing. In minimum budget
Yep. Doubling or even tripling the people and budget on board with this would be insane. Good job man!
I think he didnt mention how long he was working on it. Thats where the cost comes from. If he worked more than 5hours on it. The actual budget is nowhere near 350,-
That what i about to comments, really well done single-handedly....
What difference does it make? You either set your goal and go for it or - if you can't achieve it - you set out for something you can. You either deliver or you don't. In this case he didn't.
plus limited by the abilities of studiobinder
at that budget and working alone this was insane. only an artist understands the value of work.
one video you made seems intersting
I also found it a masterpiece.
Hurray! I am an artist.
@@sandeepmates I Make it's Music Btw thanks
Thanks
Thanks...you are right . I know the hard work 👏
That medium close on her with the effects was spectacular.
I was thinking exactly same - beautiful look
Exactly

Ironically, the paper is what looks fake the most.
not that car? lolol. the close up shot of her with the vfx behind and infront of her looked great though.
@@BrandonPrive1432 I thought the car would be awful, but in the shot, I can't see past the paper.
because they are all straight
integration...
If a real thing happened in an environment where full of fake objects, the real thing would be the only thing looks fake.
no. Keith is what looks fake the most.
I kept thinking “this is going to look so bad, he has no idea what he’s doing” and then it looked INCREDIBLE!!!!! Imagine what he could have done with a real budget haha!
Impressive, this was great work. The Oscar winning TH-cam comment section VFX experts are judging you based on Hollywood level visuals, this is great work man. I can only imagine what you would be able to achieve with a longer timeline and bigger budget.
This channel is so underrated
Who is underrating it? 🤔
@@suicidalpickle lol
This Channel is amazing!
Quality over quantity buddy.
Over 300K is pretty good. Not underrated at all.
great CGI, i think your inception scene lacked mostly confincing Sound Effects, with that i would be closer to the real movie ;)
budget matters
One of the best channels on filmmaking!

The only thing that didn’t sell the vfx for me was the lighting, just didn’t seem to blend in with the scene. Other then that it was very well done
@MP4 Actually, both. But only for VFX layers
I use Element3D too and as he was doing the scene, I was thinking he needs to take pictures to create an environment/global illumination map. Otherwise, very well done.
please more VFX Breakdown .....just loving this episode....
Up
Not only was the actual scene well done, but the whole presentation was a production on it's own. Like, throwing the 3D objects into the courtyard as he was describing it. Thanks for making this!
how can anyone criticise this? A couple of hundreds of dollars compared to hundred of thousands of dollars in a real movie?
A lot of effort has been put to making this video and I really admire it.
Thanks, StudioBinder. You're the best!
Thanks for your support! Our team here has definitely put in their maximum effort on these videos. 😊✌🏻
@@StudioBinder Yeah, seriously. The stuff you guys post on Instagram is the best across the board. No one even comes close. Thank you for all the time and hard work you put into making these.
I now realise what a great director you have to be to match Nolan . and how good acting makes a difference
@Bobo Boyyet he still sucks
Which scene from Inception would you like us to recreate next? 🎥🎬
The explosion scene from Children of Men could be cool!
Dunkirk if possible
The scene where Cobb and Ariadne are walking through the streets of London and then they walk onto a perpendicular wall. The story behind how they achieved that effect is quite interesting!
And if there's time do Ariadne warping all the buildings with her mind; only if there's time of course. ;)
The mirror and bridge scene...🤙🤙🤙
The Hallway Dream Fight
I had very little expectation at the beginning, that's actually really good knowing it was done with after effects and such a small budget. Bravo!
Being a student of studying films and post production and simply LOVING this movie along with all the actors and Nolan! This is by far the simplest and most creative, minimum budgetted post production I've ever seen and learnt from! Kudos to you buddy! Keep helping us guys more! Truly appreciate it! And to the haters and criticizers... do keep hating and criticizing, just allows the hated to excell more :)
Great job ! Very effective in execution and concise in presentation. I wish more tutorials on this platform would be as professional as this one ! (Also, covering my favorite film doesn’t hurt either haha)
One of the best movies with Dicaprio! It is insane how complicated each scene is with so many effects!
*sees **5:38*
*checks subscription button*
Me : How come I have found this channel just now?!!!
park jh just found this channel. Was thinking the same thing
Absolutely stunning dude. After watching your tutorial I really feel the urge to do some insane low budget effects.
Also I like the effort you obviously put into the tutorial itself. Looks really professional!
The quality of the video is so good that people forget that the whole video is just an advertisement xD
I used to think trying this kinda VFX, editing isn't for us and only for professionals, You changed my mind !
EVERYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH PASSION.
Brilliant video! Recreating scenes series is the best. Make more videos like this.
Never thought a channel like this would ever exist on youtube, Awesome job!
Really nice job on costumes and makeup.
The actors did a great job on re enacting!
Hands down the BEST film making tutorial and insights channel on TH-cam.
Great Job.
That looks amazing
The lengths they went to just to use their silly, unproductive busyware was the most amusing part of this video. Also this dude looks like a human after a thousand years of evolving to stoop over a computer screen in complete darkness! 10/10 would watch again.
By the end of 2020, this channel will have 1 million subscribers. Mark my words
Oops
@@jishnuvijay5597 In my defence, the pandemic happened and they're pretty close anyway, it'll almost certainly be reached by the end of 2021
That's good work !
Many people might complain about the bad CG but its just something that can easily be fixed within a few more hours in lighting and texturing.
Don't ignore the effect guys! He has still managed to breakdown the effect for us to try its in our hands to bring the best looking results !
Inception was all time favorite movie and you make me proud how the way you recreate my friend thank you
This channel’s updates have been landing in my spam inbox for weeks. I never even signed up. But after finally watching this, I don’t mind being put on their mailing list. This is awesome 👏
The auto-notification emails from YT has been landing in your Promotions section, or spam?
StudioBinder It’s not from TH-cam, it’s your newsletter. This was the first time I actually opened it when checking that inbox, only coz I saw the word Inception.
Holy sh*t!!! With only $350, that's so clever & effective, I really love this episode... A very great & creative video, thanks Studiobinder
What I loved about this guy is
He did what he loves to do
He didn't have gave up
And I want ppl to appreciate how wonderfully created this by him with what he had to make it happen instead of judging him wake up asses
Love him for giving and sharing such wonderful knowledge and giving time as well
Keep going brother we love you ❤️
"How much do you need to recreate this scene?"
Uhhh about *tree fiddy*
made me laugh ha ha
Well it was about that time I realized this wasn’t a producer at all but a giant creature from the Paleolithic era
😂😂😂
Uncle Phil ain't no fool
The scene of the debris flying around the woman was so clean!
only thing that bothers me is tha 3d part, i mean its nice to see it in after effects, but it doesnt outweigh the MUCH better results you would get with traditional 3d software (even free ones like blender) if you load in the sequence there and export the composit to your NLE. i mean there is no bounced lighting no hdr lightsource to integrate the models into the scene, it just looks strange.
otherwise great video, and i guess it is a bit intimidating to get your hands on 3d software if you just want to make a short movie so it is kinda ok
It's amazing to see the possibilities but you're right it kinda falls down for me with the 3d objects. They look like clipart drawings. With what you call a traditional 3d software, would you get better looking 3d objects? Or could you still use AE but just make it look realistic by spending more money on the 3D objects? That might be easier than learning real 3d software. Thanks. Good job on your videos, Studio Binder.
@@apexmedia2089 with 3d software there is not necessarily a difference in the models, you can use the same ones they bought online(they were made wirh traditional 3d packages in the first place). what makes a difference is the way it is rendered. they mentioned it is all realtime, which means it is rendered like a Computer game with a process called rasterization which usually means you dont have indirect lighting and all calculations regarding material and lightinf are just approximated for the sake of speed. Most 3d softwares use monte carlo raytracers nowadays that simulate individual lightrays and stuff in a fashion that simulates how real light works, but takes minutes-hours to calculate each individual frame(if you get crazy with the complexity of your scene there is really no limit upwards), because each light ray is bounced of surfaces multiple times and creates new scattered lightrays etc. also 3d packages have a LOT more settings to finetune your virtual image(which of course makes them look cluttered and complicated). but i guess if they would add an option for non-realtime rendering into the addon perhaps by utilizing a standalone 3rd party raytracer behind the scenes you could enhance the results without complicating the process for the user too much.
@@Mundm28 Thanks for your reply Martin. I love the storytelling possibilities of 3D. I'll look into what you described.
@@apexmedia2089 you should look at Ian Huberts channel. Hes a guy wo does cg stuff for netflix movies, ed sheeran music videos and a lot of other things you may have seen here and there. He made a really impressive Webseries like back in 2012 with lots of cg and dystopian stuff that he makes follow ups now and then till today. Also his talk at Blendercon this year about how he uses a kinda "quick and dirty" way to do stuff with 3D, is hilarious and he does "lazy tutorials" that maybe are not for absolute beginners but when you grasped the basics of where wich button should be, they are much more entertaining than the usual boring 1h tutorial
@@Mundm28 Hey Martin, thanks for the heads up on Ian Huberts. I will definitely check him out!
I love the edit of this video more than the actual video which was a mighty impressive recreation for that budget. Incredible work, and instantly subscribed.

This video just blew my mind, I never thought I could do Inception level effects in After Effects bwaha
You got much information on how this is done inside After Effects? I don't think so. Prove me wrong
@@octap79 I think he meant as far as AE capability of achieving it. Personally I think It's possible, AE is essentially a compositing software.
@@DanielGreen0 You are right Daniel
Effects are mostly just time invested. Thats where the budget comes from. Some scenes take weeks to make. And multiple people working on it.
This video and every single thing about it is just pure brilliance!
That's impressive.
One of the best recreation tutorials out there.... Studio Binder should continue with such great tutorials! Thanks a ton to you!
This is one of my favorite movies
Some people think that production is not professional but they're wrong because with 350 $ budget that's a very satisfying work.
👏👏👏👏
Thank you for watching and appreciate your support! 😊✌🏻🎬
This scene was actually recreated in inception
While watching the actual scene, i was never ever aware the complexity of the thought process that went into shooting A SINGLE SCENE?!!! Thanks to your video of recreating the same scene, it is mind blogging to the imagination of the folks who wear creative hats! Not just Nolan and his team, but you and your team too. Amazing stuff! Thanks a bunch!
Biggest criticism is the budget thing. Didn’t factor in crew expenditure
This was literally so good! The main thing that pulled it together though was Element 3D. The VFX people would have coloured the objects flying around, or at least re-lit them so that they blended in with the background lighting, particularly the white cups and saucers. That is literally my only criticism. This was done so well, though... very impressed. I was literally watching Inception the other day and wondered how they shot this scene at the cafe!
You only get to appreciate actors after seeing some really terrible acting.
The actors do make a lot of difference in making the scene real. Good replication though.
We should only write those things over the internet that we can say face to face to a person.
The actors weren't that terrible. The pacing of the edit is what ruined their performance.
Comparing a couple $100 million film with a $350 afternoon shoot and editing. Ok.
@@logoslive You mean, if I throw a million bucks at the actors in this video they'd suddenly turn pros?
that closeup scene was the best
as an artist i know hardwork behind this
this is great result
you deserve to work in big budget movies
Just marvellous guys👏👏👏👏
What the hell man. This makes me to think into another level in everything i do right now. When u love and focus on something in deep nothing is impossible and also love the process of pre-production i am stunned. Great job
Exactly! Don't let money be the issue that prevents you from creating your passion project. Be resourceful and creative! ❤️🔥🎬😊
Loving this channel. Have you watched HBO's "Catherine the great"? The color grade is so insanely vivid. They take teal and orange to a new cornea burning level but it gives the show a really cool look. Can you show us how to recreate it???? Keep up the awesome work
That was really amazing work.
Did not expect that good of a result.
Given the budget, and the number of people working on it.
Good job.
in that budget ? OKAY!
I love working alone, learning alone, improving myself on my commands. Respect for you bro....
That was mind blowing ngl, excellent work

Great Job everyone!!! Damn fine work, severely underrated channel!
I literally live 5 minutes away from the restaurant where the scene from Inception was shot, really getting the vibe.
Hey there, thanks so much for the support!
You are lucky to live in Paris, such a beautiful place to live! 👌🏻
hats off😍
Amazingly handle the layout and set with fx very neatly done, Superb !
Respect you for doing this, however, effects are little basic.
People really don't understand the effort behind these 8mins. You're Ben stokes of this channel
hahahahaa!!!!!!!! I love that you realized how hard it really is. Pulling it off with element 3d and $350 wow...
Dude, I can't wrap my head around how hard it must be, but definitely it's not a piece of cake, props man
4:43 Holy sh*t. You even were able to contract Guy Pearce.
😂😂😂
I was equally blown away ,no less than the particles.holy shit😐
I didn't see the actors in your budget.
They did it for free McDonalds
@@mbsta14 bruh this made me spit my food
This is insane! Great work and it really kinda inspires you!
This is like Moneyball for Hollywood.
Such a great breakdown man. Inception was the film which made me realized that how boring stuff I was writing. Thank you for this video. As an aspiring Filmmaker, I've been following Studio Binder since a long ago.
That was cool🔥🔥
You are just motivating... great work on what you did alone.
Why does his face look like it's deepfaked on
😂😂😂😂😂i never laughed soo hard bruh
It's face shaming if you think about it
@@seya_2 what if you don't think about it?
Deepfake of Ken Jeon
White Guy Vember he’s cute though. Aha
This is pretty legit with that budget! Man. I love that scene and I really want to recreate this.
Dude GOD bless you
This was so much fun! I love seeing how much a filmmaker can achieve with these tools.
Both the actors also performed well.
Wow thats totally awsome guys ! I instantly subbed you after this ! Awsome work
The male actor is doing great
losupotap sarcasm I see. 😂😂😂
The best thing about this is that you were able to pull this off. Nice!
I'm imagining what you can do with conventional movie budget.
This channel needs more subs. I feel this is the next indie mugal ( when it was fun )
Christopher Nolan is like a God of movie Directors...
We are from Indonesia! 🇲🇨 We really really appreciated this video. We never seen this video on any channel. So, good and very good. Good job!

Very good work for such a small budget! Excellent tutorial. Great job on pre-production. Blocking was dead on. Keep up the good work 🎥
This channel is pure gold. A great and inspiring recreation indeed.
Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia.
That was seriously amazing freaking awesome great work
Amazing video as always, StudioBinder! Keep being great!
That was my most favourite scene from Inception..
This just shows how much work goes in a scene.
That is great considering the low budget and the fact that it is a one man effort. I have just subscribed to the channel.
Keep the great work up!
