17:13 Can anyone make a screen life movie?
You know in editing, you use a screenshot, zoom in on detail and get low-resolution pixels. It sucks. Well, these filmmakers figured out how to get high res screenshots, then used that method to tell a story entirely through a computer screen with the movie Missing (2023) starring Story Reid, and they made $45 million with it. The editing process and behind the scenes for the movie is incredible, and we want to unpack what is going on in here.
SO we interviewed the editors of Missing Arielle Zakowski and Austin Keeling, and went behind the scenes on the process of telling the story through a computer screen with high resolution screen recordings, the technical details to HOW to make it look not pixellated, and their storytelling philosophies on how to guide the audience through mystery

Getting comments on where to watch the movie. You can rent "Missing" for $6 on CZcams: czcams.com/video/XCsTWyggFwE/video.html
You can also stream it free on Roku. 💯
It's not available for rent in Nigeria, 😩 I really want to see this Masterpiece 😣
Can one use song from lickd without getting any copyright
It seems to be regions locked. Really? Region locks in 2023? Well, if you don't give me a legal way to stream it then it's time to sail the deep dark sees /shrug
It’s not available on Apple TV.
Is track club mobile friendly
i wonder if they are scared about the movie feeling “outdated” as soon as Apple changes MACOS enough
like the movies about "hacking" from the 90s or 00s where ppl were hacking through microsoft excell interface lol
Idk about that, I've recently watched that modern family's episode where it never leaves the screen and still very much relatable. It's the S06E16.
think this are poor people problems if you worried about timeless things, go buy a Bugatti or rolex
Not watching cheesy movies
@@EndlessTravelslmao, okay TOP G
That’s what I was so amazed by. They based the macOS design of Monterey, which came out in 2022, just about a year before the film was released, and it was spot on. The little details usually overlooked on films are all there, including the tiny microphone indicator next to Control Center that was new on Monterey.
Modern Family had a similar concept in 2015, in S6E16 Connection Lost. Basically the mom was facetiming the entire family to figure out where her daughter was, and we only saw the mom's computer screen throughout. It's really interesting to see this concept being adapted into a full length film!
@@r3shb572 thanks for reminding me, i did have a faint memory of the trailer when it came out, i should probably go watch it already
There was a film called "Searching" in 2018 which basically has a very similar plot to what this film looks like. A girl goes missing and every scene is through the screen only. It's a really good film.
@@r3shb572 lool there have been numerous screen life films before unfriended.
The first film I ever saw do this kind of storytelling was the 2013 short film called "Noah." It was a 17-minute short about a breakup. "The Den" was the first feature I saw, and I think that was around the same time. Both were great. I think of all the ones I've seen using this technique, "Missing" was my favorite.
This is so amazing, especially to see the little transitions, like the heart turning into the calendar on the circle, to see that kind of stuff used in real movies is just amazing
Saw it at a movie theater in LA and that sequence was electric. The audience was pumped...by editing! They also were groaning at all the little twists. Such an editing-first movie that anyone can enjoy.
@@EditingPodcast yeah this definitely made me wanna see it rlly soon, I had to replay that sequence it was sooo good!! Especially since editing isn’t something people necessarily consider, so for people to notice it and love it is a huge compliment
It also reminded me of those Instagram edits, which to see that kinda stuff in a film is inspiring and hopeful to us who make edits but not like film level yet
Editor: there are no screenshots in this film
The Channel: this film was made entirely with screenshots!
not to mention the three whole promotions in the video on top of the default youtube ads D:
Hah, right on... definition of click bait
This isn't the first time this type of film was made! 'Searching' follows almost the same plot of looking for a loved one, and it is a very incredible and heart warming story. Please give it a watch! It's so worth it!
12:48 They mention Searching inside the video too
@@BlockMasterT shit mb, I didn't have time to watch through the full video. Nice to know it's mentioned!
@@Makerkiddo It’s fine! Even if were to watch the video it’s very easy to miss. The only reason I noticed it was because I read your comment, and then immediately after reading it they mentioned Searching!
it’s made by the same directors too!
@nours3312 oh shit! Niceeeee
imagine looking for similar font for every app and not to mention they animate this in premiere and not after effects 🙌
honestly for the kind of editing that they do, premiere is a way better tool for it.
they animate the final vector art in after effects but the rough edit and blocking is done in premiere
Made easy with fontsquirrel
That is one nice thing about macOS, most apps use San Francisco
I edited an entire 2 hour feature film in 2020 as the sole post-production person and I had to use cellphone footage from the actors and had to design and create an entire fake interface which resembled "skype" and edit the footage to sync in such a way that it maintains a "static zoom call" kind of screen for the entire film. Nobody cared about the editing 😂, but had a lot to say about the script (which I had nothing to do with). I unfortunately had no say over the script or story, the director overruled all my ideas, so it is what it is.
Also, what I did when they didn't sync, was to create a "loading bar" which buffers until they come by. I even added the little detail of the WIFI bar losing signal when things like that happened.
I edited everything on Premiere Pro and created all my graphics and assets with Photoshop (for anybody interested). It took me 3 months, editing 18 hours every day including weekends and my total pay was $550 (I know, I was promised exposure).
It was titled "The Ground Under (2020)" and is available to stream on Showmax. The trailer is still on my CZcams channel 🙃
I just watched awesome, great job!
@@yutupedia7351 oh wow, thanks!
Good work bro!
@@Henry-kb6me Thank you so much :D
i dont think u should work for exposure though-
The timeline is amazing! I can't believe it's possible. Weird how they didn't mention that they were doing raw editing while footages were filmed. And at the end of filming they had an entire rough cut. And then the work began with all the mouse moves and typing speed (can't believe this, so much precise work). They are filmmakers, not editors
these are probably some of the most talented, creative editors i have ever seen
the way the story uses its medium as a way to express ots characters is GENIUS
This is like… every editors dream
8:09 a better explanation for someone unfamiliar is to think of it in terms of a font. No matter how big you make your font in Microsoft Word, it never gets blurry, because it’s a vector - each letter is a shape, not a group of pixels.
Editing this would cripple and depress me. They did incredible work and should be proud.
im just totally amazed by the uiux work done here. i mean its not just to create the design but it needs to be pixel perfect and accurate to the real app
It is wild to me that they created this with no prior knowledge of after effects or illustrator. Even just making all the assets seems like it would take so long.
I'm thinking there's just no way it was all done by these two people with no prior experience. I think they're overselling their role a bit here. I believe they did the previz and the final sequences were done by professional VFX and Motion Graphics houses, sent back to these guys to adjust timings to fit the edit.
There are tools you can use to help. You can take a screenshot and then "vectorize" render it in post, creating vector assets out of elements in the screenshot. "Gtk vector screenshot taking module" comes to mind. I'm sure there are other tools. You definitely don't have to make every asset from scratch.
I do this pretty much everyday at work. It’s so fun to just crack on editing with some music on while building all the screens and animating them
you gotta cool tutorial on building assets in illustrator and then animating them like a sequence in this movie? would love to check it out
what do you do for work? sounds so cool
OMG that opening sequence is masterful. Now I must watch this film. Loved the insights and breakdown behind their choices. Also loved the graphical demo and pop-ups while they explained the timeline
This is so inspiring - such a cool concept. From the very impressive sequences you guys showed, the sound design was also deeply underrated. It brought it to life in a whole other way.
Watching this brings me back to how fired up I was after watching The Tinder Swindler, as much of the footage was digital. Looking forward to checking out the full film.
Wow, I could tell believe they did that know how to use Illustrator and After Effects before working on this project! That’s so inspiring as an amateur editor. They’re amazing!
I am surprised nobody mentioned the film Searching (2018) which was clearly a big inspiration for the guys working on the Missing. Those films look really alike, and the techniques you discuss in this video were definitely used on the project Searching before.
Missing is a "part 2" to Searching. That's why she mentioned it in the interview. So yes you are correct they both have a lot of similarities
the editors of Searching are the directors of Missing which is pretty cool. They build on everything they learnt and handed the editing over to these guys
Un friended
They didn't know Illustrator and After Effects prior to this?? Wow
Like W😯W, shouldn't it be like everybody norm knowledge 😐
Huge Respect to them for still generating the super high quality creative animations regardless 😍
that's crazy right?
This was absolute madness and I'm all about it! Well done to the team and editors 🔥
There's a malayalam movie called "C U Soon" which exactly does this..They made the film during the peak of the lockdown when normal film production was not possible
So enjoyable to watch the four of you talk. Creativity flows through out the conversation.
I was blown away when I saw Missing. It was such a breath of fresh air.
Both movies of this style are hands down my favourite it's a nother level of empathy because you fill that all that sh*t actually could happen to you!
big shoutout to the original concept given to us in 2018 in form of SEARCHING
thissss! loved that movie fr... i initially thought they're gonna talk about "Searching" instead of "Missing" lmao
There is an episode of Modern Family that uses this same concept, only in a short 20 minute episode, that was released in 2015
This is awesome! As a motion designer who has had to redesign websites for animations, watching this makes me really happy and inspired.
Thanks for sharing!
consider me inspired and extremely impressed! way to think outside the box! you deserve all the props and rewards for this!
I look forward to each episode! So much incredible information that's just fascinating to hear and see. ( and inspires me, and I'm sure many others lol). Thank you guys!
Them making this all in illustrator is soooo impressive
There’s also another one from 2014 called “unfriended” that’s entirely in the computer.
So essentially this this movie is a long version of Modern Family’s “Connection Lost” episode. For anyone who wants to check it out, it’s S6E16! And in the meantime I’ll be checking this movie. Should be a good watch! Cheers.
i love these kind of movies, kept me glued to the screen. very unique.
I'm a UX designer, and I can TELL this took a looooot of work, and to recreate ALL the UI elements, much less in Illustrator, just blew my mind!🤯🤯🤯Impresssive work, guys👏👏👏
Great Interview! Thank you so much!
This is such a refreshing concept! Great job with the breakdown as always 👏
It's a new filmmaking workflow that feels new, and fresh for a more modern quick moving mass information society. I couldn't be more excited for these concepts to catch on because it's the kind of filmmaking I have dreamt of making myself.
For those who don't get the time to search for it, the movie talked about in the podcast is called Missing (2023).
It's written at the last two paragraph of the description.
It's also mentioned at like the start of the video...
I just watched Missing and could barely focus on the plot because of how impressed I was on the way it was made. I spent the whole time looking at all the little details and by the end of the movie I realized they had no actual "camera" shots, every single scene was shown on the screen of a different device. It was incredibly impressive.
OMG i love how Hillier is so down to earth asking technical or simple questions like what is rasterization. I've worked with people in industry who would throw in technical terms to beginners expecting them to understand right away then making them feel stupid for not getting. I guess in an attempt to make themselves sound smarter? But I find that people who can take complex things and teach them in the simplest ways are the wisest. Props to you guys for producing such quality in your content 🔥🔥🔥 THANK YOU
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS!!!!!!
Just finished watching this movie yesterday and I have little editing knowledge but I will say the transitions are insane! And I love the little details in the computer background like all of June's files were high school documents like pictures, essays, and signature forms.
I hovered over the video on my homepage and watched the intro. Knew I had to watch after that!
watched this movie last week with my friends and i was admiring the editing throughout the entire movie!
Loved this episode! Really made me want to watch the film👀 Thanks for all the insight guys :)
As someone whose trying to specialize in video editing and motion design, this is literally the perfect film I'd love to work on.
Saw this in my recommendations, watched the video intro, then watched the movie, and now I finished watched this video. What an amazing movie, and the insights of this video are fascinating!
That's super fascinating! I can't wait to watch the movie.
Great choice for an episode of The Editing Podcast! Unleash the tutorials!
Good video -- this was such a cool concept!
Great episode guys! Cool insight on the process. Something we learnt is that you can change the display to magnify 350%, then screenshot fullscreen UI elements and scale them down in AE. It gets you 90% of the quality on close-ups way faster but obviously without the flexibility as full vector recreations. Anything closer, you can just redo individual text elements to keep them crispy. To do really fast mockups, you can also edit the HTML on websites to use all existing formatting but change most text/images. You can't save it easily though. They should sell a pack of their Illustrator files!
bro this movie is literally the best edited thing ever
Thanks for all the good work guys :)
It was so entertaining. Honestly my favorite movie of the year.
best editing podcast on the internet ,i am a newbie at this - always would be thinking while watching - how they have done specially pixel aspect of it - how comes it so sharp and just perfect for the eyes , Thank you so much -got my answer its all vector images afterall - Thank you
Super interesting, thanks for producing
We’ll I know what movie I’ll be watching later then!! Awesome episode guys
Really interesting! Definitely going to take a watch and try to guess the twists.
I've never seen 3 separate sponsorships on a single video
currently watching this movie, its really cool and my eyes were wide open being so interested XD
3 separate sponsor ads in 1 video kinda puts me off not gonna lie
this is so fucking out of the box, the detailing, it's just amazing, it really loks like they have watched a lot of movies not just for the plot story, but how it is told to the audience, how it unravels to the audience, we can see the details
I've seen SEARCHING. I re-watched it with parents. It was amazing. Now I should see this MISSING!
This is the beginning of a new genre of films, I like it
but it’s not a completely new idea. “Searching” came out years ago
Not the beginning, there’s been several movies like this in the past. Nevertheless the amount of work is impressive. At the same level of stop-motion animation.
8:20 THANK you Jordan for elaborating on such a non-answer 😭
Yeah, it’s like when you see someone else explain what you do to someone else and they get it wrong 😭
He tried guys…he tried 😅
bro i just watched the movie and oh my gosh the production value and the storyline is everything ive ever wanted. this was a good watch for sure, i now feel inspired to finally finish that one edit ive been putting off for weeks now! (nothing special, just a vlog lol)
A rom com with this format is awesome
The whole movie just looks like a plain rock 124 video
what a EPISODE! Holy shit, prolly my favorite from s2, maybe even s1!
best movie i've seen in years. and the editing...W0w
The Editing Podcast & This Guy Edits are my favourite channel right now!
Learned a lot from these two channel u mention
wow! all those screens individually created in illustrator, thats impressive!
the new take of its not a feature, its actually a bug LOL. This is brilliant!
can confirm that editing this type of content takes ages (especially creating all of the assets) i remember watching the movie searching which is very similar in concept as inspiration and trying to improve the visuals of my own work and even now im trying to get better behind the scenes and seeing this full breakdown of the finer details really helps with that
mind blown... thanks guys,
How did i not find this before now! Can you do a QNA?
i love this podcast so damn much.
"Movie Made With Only Screenshots" is such a ridiculous title compared to how hard they work to graphicly design all these screens and hand-animate them throughout nearly 2 hours... I can't imagine the amount of work and effort put into this, Austin and Arielle should be nominated for Best Editing Oscar, not just because what technically they achieved but also artistically. One of the best montages i've ever seen in my life, and the fact that they did it with Premiere and After Effects, softwares we have at home and it's not industry standart, it's pretty surprising.
1:57 "it's free, but use this code to get 20% off" xD
I can recreate this movie if I really wanted to, I love this style of editing! I bet they had so much fun editing it!
So how much time does it take to edit a sequence of lets say 10 minutes
8:40 vectors aren't created out of pixels, but lines and curves
That’s exactly what he said
I've watch this video few months ago and it was a masterpiece
i remember watching it in theaters, wonderful story
I watched this movie when it came out and it was done REALLY well!
Thank you guys! Raza :)
This film looks so satisfying to watch
this makes my head spin
You’re the only person I screenshot ads and discount codes for in CZcams videos
This is really cool!
great video
Epiiiic
i watched this move bcz of yall, love ya
It's a great movie!
Thank you for the timestamps!
2:51 wow immediately after an ad for a zoom competitor
That is amazing 😮❤
i watched this movie i'm soo satisfied, everything about it it's so nice!
Could you kindly share a link to the microphones utilized during your podcast recordings? The audio quality is truly exceptional.
The mics look like the shure sm7b
I watched 1 minute of this video and decided to watch the entire movie😂 it’s great
I legit have a master's degree studying screen life filmmaking 👀
