just to let you know, there is a reason why vrchat put mirrors in the game, first was avatar customization, and second was learning face expressions, but mainly avatar customization.
Also, mirror dwellers are just using mirrors wrong.
@@Shijazin "Also, mirror dwellers are just using mirrors wrong." They just love their new look.
you know how malls are falling out of favor. maybe they just need a big mirror with seats. has anyone tried taking this irl?
Ads... what truly horrible idea. God, they might do it to cover costs at some point.
Instead if confronting the crippling social anxiety I'd probably just keep staring at a wall like nothing ever happened
the hell are you doing here lol
wall dwelling, now thats a fun thing to do
Ever consider just toughening up? People 100 years ago didn't have anxiety over dumb shit like this.
Honestly, same. I start up Vrchat sit in front of mirrors for about 2 minutes, get tired of the awkward feeling, then go play gmod only to probably do the same thing in construct.
Is your equipment still fine?
I mean they take alot of hits.
If mirrors were illegal everyone would probably mod cameras to make big cameras
portable mirror mod
-nervous chuckle-
@@6tee9vr there is a portable mirror mod that makes an object
Or ppl can create mirror avatars with foggy surface if you’re not friends with them. Also a plan for being in a center of crowd attention for “narcissistic” ppl
@@monsutanokage9639 sounds hard to make
I can tell you EXACTLY why mirrors are popular. You choose an avatar you like, so you want to look at it. It also helps with a sense of presence. When you move around in real life and interact with things in real life, there are so many things which help you know what you are doing and helps you contextualize your actions. You lack so much of that in VR, so looking at yourself in a mirror helps with that by offloading a lot of that onto sight.
Also, low fov means it's easier to see everyone in a mirror. And looking people in the eye in vr just leads to uncanny valley at best, nothing at worst
@@LilOleTinyMe I love looking people in the eye. It's the best way to have a conversation.
Exactly. I do go do other things, but chilling with friends at a mirror afterwards with that sense of presence is nice. People get toxic about mirrors, but why, its their choice.
@@LilOleTinyMe T-posing engage
To add, it's because it helps your brain adjust its sense of self to the avatar you're using, of which phantom sense is an expression of. It makes the avatar feel like YOU.
The main problem with eye contact in vr is that we are not seeing real eyes. The closest you can get just leads to uncanny valley since it's difficult to actually emote with eyes in vr. And due to the way eyes work in vrchat, others will always look at you regardless of whether or not they are paying attention to you. A good example of this is a giant eyeball I made. Since it's just an eye, it follows players around the room. I could be staring at a corner, your friends pixelated arse or even myself. As far as you can tell, I'm always sitting there, staring into your soul with an overly realistic eyeball the size of a beach ball
I thought eye trackers existed for VRC
@@dashua1735 Sure, but very few people actually have eye tracking.
Why was this so damn good oh my God this is better than most movies these days
Hold on there cowboy.
Agreed
@@rottensteak508 true
I read mirrors as minors
There’s something so mesmerizing about looking at a mirror and not seeing yourself but rather some anime girl or something. It’s kind of surreal
Exactly. It’s why everyone, including me is drawn to them
I need mirrors in VR for egg_irl reasons
vrchat short films are getting better ngl. this is astonishing.
I love how for the entire time, he treats them like creatures, like in a National Geographic.
Did you know staring into a mirror is a form of therapy
Mirrors are great because it makes you feel more immersed. Seeing the character move exactly like you.
Yeah, theyre great, but a lot of people just stare and them for hours and dont really do anything else. And I mean a LOT.
They fire up VRchat, put on their thousand-dollar headset and trackers, and then just sit in front of a goddamn mirror.
It's depressing to think about.
@@ChaotiX1 I understand both sides tbh. You spent all this money and you want to be able to see that you did. The main issue is that this game is all and chat and no real game but what do you expect from a game called VRChat.
@@AKuld I used to go to horror rooms and roller coaster maps. There's all kinds of stuff to do but you can't do it with random people anymore because 85% of VRChat players just want to sit in front of the mirror.
never thought VRChat MOVIES would be a thing, yet its so fucking good
This will eventually be a new way to make money.
ikr
Vibe plays VRChat? The more you know.
@@felibunn literally made like 3 videos on it fr
@@VibeRBLX Yba youtuber ERPs in vrchat EXPOSED. (not clickbait) 2022 colorized
Idk for me the mirrors are just so amusing to look at. Like looking at you but in a different body. The mirror kinda just helps me remember that I am in a "different world"
I didn't even realize people are still scared to make eye contact even when you can't even see the other person's real eyes
That was impressive, compelling, and comical. You even had a post credits scene. Truly a cinematic masterpiece.
I need more of these short films they are absolutely amazing! (also was that chris redfield's voice actor?)
The voice actor for the narrator is Respectable Adult. Check out his other works! czcams.com/users/RespectableAdult
@@MetacosmStudios I saw the credits and thought it was a joke. I'm sad to learn that's his actual name.
@@Masteroftheweb Exactly the same thing. Thought it sounded kinda toxic reply in the means that Chris Redfields actor isnt a respectable adult bruh
日本の動画かと思うほど詳細が自然で草
それと本当に、面白いほど皆巨大な鏡の前にいるだよな
I didn't even know you could make cinematics like this in VRChat, this is amazing. The camera work is amazing
Love the movie production quality! I'm brand new to VR, but I think it's because when you put on an avatar and it matches your movements, and you see yourself in the mirror, you trick your brain into thinking you are entirely a brand new person. I personally find it so cool to see an avatar I like matching my arm movements when I see myself in the mirror just with a Quest 2 and PCVR, it makes me want to get Full Body Tracking so my entire body matches the avatar movements as well.
if mirrors were gone I’d expect every underhanded trick, this whole video is a goddamn masterpeice
Fundamentally, mirrors make up for many of the deficiencies in VR technology such as limited FOV, lack of tactile sense, and imperfect control which could mean your avatar may not be doing quite what you expect or intend. Unfortunately, many people don't understand this and attribute mirror usage to extreme vanity and/or social anxiety. These aspects can _also_ be present for any particular person, but they are not actually the underlying cause of mirrors being so popular in VR.
This is incredible yes but we have to talk about the desperation bit and how natural the eye contact bit looked
The eye-contact part was just when you're in public and someone is staring at you or you're walking down a hall and someone else is there
They'd probably just expand on the "doppelganger" system some art worlds uses to create a copy of your avatar. Kinda looks like cutout mirrors.
"Backup dancers" are also an option, if everyone project a double of their avatar it would look just like a common mirror reflection, so, very-poor avatar shenanigans are very much a possibility.
The third, and most common option actually, is of course a camera and a screen being used as fake mirror.
Long story short, nothing would change... xD
The Quality of this is amazing! And I love the narrator's voice!
Thanks so much ❤
Why is the cameratography soo incredibly good wth
I came here looking for copper and I found gold. Like seriously, I didn't expect this kind of quality content. Good job
It’s scary how accurate this is
Bro i loved it! Really well done! ;)
master piece of comedy, drama, irony and reflexion (litteraly)
This was the most high quality VR video I have ever seen. And I watch too many VR videos.
Lmao “Worst of all, EYE CONTACT” 😂 Sad but true
mirrors are also helpful in large groups to fully see everybody, in a way that allows you to talk to everyone like they're right there in front of you
Narcissus, in Greek mythology, the son of the river god Cephissus and the nymph Liriope. He was distinguished for his beauty. Narcissus’s mother was told by a blind seer that he would have a long life, provided he never recognized himself. He ended up falling in love with his own reflection in the waters of a spring and pined away (or killed himself).
TBH I have self image issues and a bit of some dysphoria, so I tend to mirror dwell to help me feel a little better about myself. But also, I do it because the worlds with fun stuff to do are often laggy or broken, so it's hard to do those things.
The cute hand slam on the table as the coffee and donut jumps up "WHOSE YOUR SUPPLER!"
this was seriously ALL done in vr chat?? this production quality is insane, good job man.
Vrchat would be a very high class society if mirrors didn't exist
Literally everytime I'm at The Black Cat, everyone's at the mirror weirdly cuddling and blasting loud music. While my ass is underneath the stairs feeding the goose pancakes.
This short film is priceless. I'd pay to watch this in a movie theater. Loved the plot and the twist at the end. I even enjoyed watching the credits! I'm sticking around for more content like this. 😌
Edit: There was even an end scene after the credits like a Marvel movie. That was an amazing idea!
The syndicate sends its regards
I think it's that we enjoy the look of our avatars, so looking in the mirror and seeing that the handsome devil/beau/cutie pie is you makes the dopamine run
I didn't know you could make a object, a movie
THIS IS AWESOME- I FIND MIRRORS ADDICTIVE I DON'T KNOW WHY..
Mirrors are popular because its harder to tell what your face and body looks like than in real life. Also, FoV in VR is a consideration. Normally, you would just all stand in a circle or something. In VR, you wouldn't be able to see everyone at once, but standing in front of a mirror let's you do that. It also helps with phantom touch when cuddling. You can't see someone's full body if they are close to you, and you obviously can't feel them. With mirrors, you can see.
Bruh this is probably the best edited VRC video I’ve ever seen, I’m subbing!
Best comedy film, this should get a budget and become a full length film.
VRC: Mirriors are now illegal
Me: *pulls out phone camera*
VRC: YOU WERNT SUPPOSED TO DO THAT
wow. u are underrated as hell. I love the professionalism in your editing
Absolutely loved being a part of this, the end product came out brilliant! Great job!!
if mirror where illegal i would be making a clone function so i could still see basically a reflection of myself
多くの彼らにとって、鏡はスタートと同時に用意されているゴールです。
彼らの多くは自分が好きな性癖を盛り込んだ自分が好きなアバターを使用しているので、鏡の中の自分こそが理想の容姿をしているのかもしれません。
あぁ、あと。鏡で自分を観察していると、揺れものやテクスチャのミスを見つけられることもあります。
You guys did a great job on this. Really loved the camera work and the editing. Top notch quality
Now this is an absolute masterpiece. I've never seen that kind of performance in ANY of the VRChat films.
I think it might be because of the immersion that being in a mirror gives you? If you can’t feel yourself or what you’re doing you swap out the sense with another… Sight
the mirror can make up for the lack of senses such as touch and smell
Wow, this was actually really good! I'm super exited to see what you make next!
Leaving this comment for the algorithm gods because more people need to see this
bruh the cinematography is insane, would never have thought to do a production like this in VRC
AWESOME!
This is awesome! I don’t play vr chat because I’m a bit young to really wanna talk to people older then me, but when I’m a bit older I definitely am gonna try it out every now and then
I only use mirrors to check out new avatars to see how they look.
This video has pretty good production value, it's clear that you put effort in what you do and its nice to see that.
I just wanted to say that personally i look at mirrors because it helps me see what i'm doing and the ideas i could cast out, i have huge issues with that in real life because i never see my face, so mirrors in vrchat help me feel relaxed.
The guy right next to him is confused as hell right now XDXDXD
初めてVRChatやったときからこれが普通の光景だったから
こういうマナー、ルールがあるのかな？って感じで鏡越しに挨拶するものだと思ってたｗ
dude this was so good. Instantly subscribed man. What a way to take on the Mirror subject. bravo
I had been watching a lot of VR content like Twice's videos and so I was expecting this to be another one, a little casual video essay or something about mirrors
Absolutely blown away by what I got instead. Fantastic work, I had a blast!
I use a mirror while picking avatars, and as soon as I find one I like that day, I leave it. If I need a mirror after that, I reposition my camera to be a mirror and have it follow in the corner of my eye.
The reason I'm a mirror dweller sometimes is because I can see all my friends around me all at once.
started watching it thinking it was proper goofy but its actually well done.
Was hoping it was a bit longer, but it's so good. Love all these kinds of shortfilms and series done in VRChat. I hope I can be a part of something someday. Didn't expect it to be someone telling a about such a potential horror, but it works. The ads would be another nightmare in itself. The first time I saw myself in a mirror was amazing, magical, I have a recording of it on my channel. But I'm not a heavy user of it, unless I dance, then I almost always need a mirror. But I think I mix it up pretty well, even in front of a mirror. It would be a nightmare if they went away though. And I think I have a good idea of why it's so mesmerizing and important. Oh and I see you didn't pick a special name for the video as you were contemplating on Twitter. Would have been amazing if one of my suggestions were picked.
I absolutely love this video, it's so random and also somehow so well done.
Congrats on the team tbh
LMAO!!! You guys this is insane, well done Elim!! Can't believe you guys can manage to make films look this amazing through VRChat.
the production quality in this IS INSANE, i subscribed within the first minute! keep up this incredible work, i don't understand why you don't at least have a million subs xD
i love how this is shot like an anime 100/10
4:23
this guy's about to be CEO of the metaverse
i love how you still answer the question at the end, your avatar becomes an extention of yourself. one that can only be seen in a 3rd perspective within vr
As soon as he says “it’ll have to wait for tomorrow” my 9am alarm went off
This is a really nice production I am really impressed! I wish you luck on your future projects!
Easy sub. I've been thinking about how big VR films will be in the future, and it is so cool to see that it's already happening!
I stopped looking in the mirror to come say .. this was HILARIOUS
They'd come out with Mirror Avatars or avatars holding mirrors to circle around
This video is amazing! Congrats on the really good montage, I love it
Oh my god, this is such a high quality lil movie. I love it, you've got a new subscriber!
Something about looking into a mirror and not seeing 'you' you're seeing an avatar that doesn't resemble you but you are in control of
Honestly amazing! This is ART. The mirror operation was very cool!
why does his vrchat look so good. HOW DO I GET IT TO LOOK THIS GOOD AND SMOOTHE
Amazing video! Can't wait for more, especially narrated like this. Such a dramatic finish. Also, loved the iconic locations. Amused that Femboy Hooters ended up in there too, MAYBE TERRA WILL FINALLY OPTIMIZE IT FOR PC. >_>
What a great production for a vrchat film. 👏👏👏
Why was such a short film better then a real movie.
That was worth the watch. That one chick fetal rocking was hilarious.
This is too good to be real, goodjob everything on point there, now I wanna see the full movie lol
"And worst of all...........eye contact" XD
If mirrors were illegal then people would stop paying $1000+ for fbt just to sit in front of them with their legs crossed. What a nightmare! I can’t have it
this is, as well as being blessed by the editing gods, a masterpice of great proportionality.
yo this is actually really well made. I was expecting a voiceover spitting facts and showing images but this is an actual short film.
Superb job on cinematics here, and the scene transitions flowed so smoothly...
Bruh, this is f**king amazing, I am dying at my chair rn, this needs to happen, Also the new camera is really amazing, the fact you were able to make this proves it, not to mention it's just plain amazing film making for vrchat LOL
This is incredibly well made and extremely accurate too I laughed at the underground mirror business 🤣 incredible job I'm subbing for sure
I'm just thinking about how much time it took to find people and then try to set them up for this
I feel called out... hilarious show, but myself, my gf, and all of my VRC friends are ALL mirror dwellers... there is no escape, there is only mirror....
Incredible work !
I love the acting, the illussion of interaction with the environement is so well done...
Might get me back into roleplaying...I miss it, but I never tried rp in vr
why doesn't this have more views??? You clearly put a lot of work into it, it deserves way more.
