Board James Documentary (2015) 

Here's a thought, the Nerd and Board James are parallel to eachother (as stated in the video), however the reason the Nerd isn't homicidal is because he releases his anger, while Board James bottles it up until its breaks loose and results in a cinematic massacre... Or a... Cinemassacre, perhaps?

*Watched an ad with someone saying "I didn't graduate medical school"* Skip Ad *cuts to Mike screaming during operation*

Damn. James is so inspirational that every time I watch one of these videos, I want to go out, buy a camera, and just film something. Anything.

I always really liked this series so this behind the scenes video was a big fan service, that's guys!

"I'm a really bad actor but a really good screamer" What the hell does he even mean? *cut to a scene with a eerily convincing scream* oke i get it

You have to admirer James and his love and passion that he's had since a child. In every video he makes you can see this. James much respect man keep it up.

We need more people like James and his friends making content for RU-vid. Really.

It's simple: Cinemassacre uploads. You watch. Period.

James is amazingly well organized, when he made his mind, he could get things done. These commentaries really show how passionate he is about his projects.

Board James got so weird. But in a good way, I enjoyed it

Loved seeing the behind the scenes from this and how you created that small mock bridge really cool.

Feels like this is being uploaded to remind us about Board James, hopefully because there's new episodes coming in 2018. Fingers crossed!

When this season came out, I was showing it to all my friends and family. Amazing acting, amazing everything, you could see the excitement and love in Jame's every scene. Best thing he has done on the web bar none. "Nightmare and beyond" has barely over a million views. Screw you guys.

why donesn't cinemassacre have like 2 billion subs

“I’m Board James, and when I’m bored I play board games “

Board James was an amazing series.

All that just to play Candyland? That's dedication.

Board James was just as fun to produce as it was to view, I'm sure.

Bring back board james!!!

I like them all. But the AVGN will always and forever be the original classic. I want to meet james one day since he was pretty much the reason I began youtube

Board James was RU-vid at its absolute finest. Truly.

I really liked the dark turn the board james series took. You really are talented man. I wish the hacks in Hollywood were more like you guys.

I just miss those simpler cinemassacre days.

That full house ending was legendary. It was like getting the fight club twist after 6 years instead of just movie length.

I really appreciate the explanation behind the videography here. It sometimes is easy to forget just how much work goes into stuff like this. Film really is a work of art. Especially when this much effort and talent is involved.

I binge watch the episodes all the time

I just received my Blu-ray of Board James in the mail. I have to say its one of my favorite things you've done (and thats a big call).

i just started board james, and finished it today and i loved every minute.. I really hope for more.. and do not be scared to get creative you made it this far.

I love James and crew. They have a unique style of making small youtube videos turn into small indie productions. Ill love James and crew till the day I die. When I have a gf and/or kids in the future Im gonna make sure they watch all of his content. I can't let something this amazing get lost in history. With so many videos on youtube history should remember the real gems.

I want to see Board James and the Nerd do an episode of video games based on board games.

I saw the episode I was floored by how much he worked out in terms of storytelling you can see and understand what is happening but ts like this meta storytelling that impressed me. To this day this is the best thing James has written.

These doccumentrries are the only things that tie the avgn, board james, and VHS movie reviews together

This was a real treat to watch. I always love seeing the behind the scenes stuff and learning about your creative process. That bridge scene was fantastic. All the hard work really pays off.

I always imagined that Board James was an alternate version of the Nerd, who came from like, fuck I don't know, the Goldstein Bears universe, where everything is so different that the same people may not even seem the same.

Every single time I watch a video explaining what goes into a Cinemassacre video, it just blows my mind clear into space.

I truly loved Board James

You know what? I would want to buy and own those storyboard drawings. I don't care how the drawings are.

Absolutely loving binge watching cinemassacre documentaries.

I've been a huge fan for many years. It's awesome to see how much work you guys do to entertain us. Thank you!

Board James is my favourite cinemassacre series by far

I love seeing how passionate they are about their work. It’s so tangible the amount of love and dedication they put into every episode. You guys are true filmmakers and truly inspiring such a treasure.

The editing here is perfect; this is a really well put-together documentary. + 17:33 that American movie reference about Mike's screams lol

Man I so want more board James, i liked the quirky boardgame reviews and the more spooky elements, but I like how subdued they are in the majority, like how dream phone was, where it started off simple and went into the spooky bits later on, gave the best of both worlds

This series is amazing! It's been about three years!! This series has gotten SOOO good!!! I wish a new season would emerge! Let's bring back Board James!!

This is for sure a favorite episode and series for me. The work you’ve all done is absolutely amazing. It shows how much effort you put into it.

Great work and always enjoyable to watch. Lots of fans here in Massachusetts that watch your videos and are always hungry for more. Please, keep up the good work it's amazing.

Such a great series. I bought the DVD, if AVGN can hit 200 episodes hopefully Board James will hit 50 one day. I dont want it to be dead Jim.

James is one of the people who cares more about quality than quanity

The progression of this series has been great. The build up and pushing things further every episode. Very solid work Cinemassacre. The passion really came through on these.

I have seen the board James series 3 times and loved it each time and everything said in this behind the scenes video sums up why I love it so much! Thank you guys so much!

"I was hoping we were going to play Candyland". Hilarious! The delivery couldn't have been more perfect.

I see board James - I click! But seriously, I think it's your best work on RU-vid, I love Board James.

I'd have to say that at the time this was his best work on the web, but his Polybius video is probably his best today.

WE NEED SEASON 4 TO END IT ALL.

So much more effort went into this than I imagined

Wow. If ever you wondered how much imagination, skill and just pure , raw talent goes into videos like AVGN or Board James, look no further. This video proves these guys are the real deal.

Board James season 2 just may be my favorite Cinemassacre thing ever. Really cool to see how much thought and effort was put into it, and it really shows.

So much respect for the work that goes into these.

Please bring back board James..it would make me so happy

i love how he plan's all his videos

This man js a genius. Give him a movie deal now.

Board James is amazing. And love for Kyle behind the scenes!

This documentary was just as entertaining as the series.

I love these behind-the-scenes videos just as much as the actual videos because of how dedicated James is to his projects.

Watching this again years later, and it's still interesting. Congrats guys. One of the most interesting web-series I've seen still to this date!

I really hope board james comes back even if just a couple times a year it is definitely some of james best work and if he does another feature film I personally would want it to be board james

I like these behind the scenes movies. They really show much effort and attention to details James and his companions put into just a 10 minute videos.

Great series! I BOUGHT a few of these games because of Board James.

This is one RU-vidr that makes videos because he absolutely loves making videos, unlike most of them that make videos only for the money or getting famous to inflated their egos.

James is a true treasure.

Still watching this in 2021

popularized online game reviews and then invented the online game review (horror) genre...

I didn't realize the enormous production behind those board james episodes before this documentary. Spectacular! a truely devoted team doing what they like.

Finally! Something related to Board James!

A movie based on Board James would be awesome!! Or at least a movie using some of the ideas!

I gotta say, he was passionate about this series and I think it's amazing how much dedication went into board james. Even though we're never gonna get anymore board james episodes, I think it ended off strong. Hope to see what other projects they'll have in the future

I'm blown away by the amount of creativity and hard work that you guys put into making these kind of videos. Even when it all seems complicated u guys always manage to pull it off in the best way possible and with lots of laughs along the way. So I guess this is my way of saying thank you for all those hours of entertainment and here's hoping for more Board James/AVGN in the future!

This is absolutely bonkers!!

It's staggering how much work James puts into these videos. He will be one hell of a film director someday.

I actually did just watch this series beginning to end a few months ago. I foolishly never delved into board james because I wasn't into board games, but man was I missing out. I found the earlier episodes interesting, james was always good at making the games come alive, but it was only by Dream Phone that I was totally hooked. It was the Mr Bucket episode on steroids, an interesting game with a well shot montage, that suddenly devolves into indie horror. You somehow made a fucking phone holding a knife scary, and that is incredible. Season 3 was a perfect mix of horror and board games, I was never once bored watching it. That final episode is also a work of art, surreal, over the top and utterly enthralling. I only discovered this series a few months ago, but ive watched both dream phone and nightmare a total of four times and every time i'm totally hooked. From my very fresh perspective, Board James was amazing and I'd love to see more. The Nerd renaissance is great, but having a board james episode here and there would work great to mix things up. Whatever you end up doing, I can't wait to see more of james' work in the future, cinemassacre now to the end of time!

This behind-the-scenes stuff is fantastic. Thanks for all the hard work, guys!

I've watched the Board James series since it started and I loved the whole thing. The growth of the story and the tools you have to work with is amazing. Always excited to see what's next. :)

I need more board James in my life. I think with the way things are around the world, every one could use more board James.

I love these behind the scenes videos because they make me appreciate the originals so much more. People just don't understand how much work goes into the quality of cinema James' crew produces. Go watch the AVGN Crazy Castle BTS if you haven't already.

I hope mike see’s this comment, but I binged watched every episode over a couple of days (having never seen them before) and thought exactly what you were saying. I was like ‘ooo mouse trap this is cool’ then it went to some cool old games.....then mr bucket came around and I assumed it was Halloween....then dream phone and I was like ‘what the fuck is going here’ amazing series, well done!

The direction you guys took Board James was beautiful, glad you did what you did, every episode was a masterpiece

Since I watched it from the beginning: I LOVED the more sinister tone and the mystery of this as it went along.

James you gonna have a Oscar for this series

Legit board James was my favorite series you should bring it back!

I love your series, any and all of them. My day becomes so much better after watching a episode, especially when im at work and happen to watch one while in the bathroom. Keep up the good work! You guys are a real inspiration to me and my life, its really not as bad as it seems sometimes.

I definitely need more Board James, it's my favourite Webseries ever! I actually saw the whole series in one going and I couldn't been happier how it turned out!!!

I really dig this, watching James’ documentaries always motivate me to create. I love it

I like these videos as much as the productions themselves, in part because I'm interested in film production but because I see a lot of useless comment online, people saying, yeah, I could do that, all you need is a video editing suite and a camera, I always think, nope, there's A LOT of work involved in these and its just that the Cinemassacre guys are talented that they make it seem easy, these kind of accompany videos explain it all. Great stuff.

We've had board James, video James, and now mobile James

I really like Board James. The ideas and creativity that flows into the episodes and of course the whole story arc is simply loveable. Although personally i watch every episode with quite a grain of salt. Since it's been o so many years i've been able to play board games. None is really interested. Which is so shameful, there are so many fantastic board games... Anyway, i especially like the collaboration with Mr. Castner and Mr. Matei as themselves. Thank you very much for so many hours of enjoyment. For me, i feel way more conected to Board James as to the Nerd. (Of course i love him, platonicly) But i did not have any sort of console growing up. But i played a lot of board games. Very few of the shown but in general, lots and lots of them. Oh the memories. Again, thank you Cinemassacre for Board James, for the Nerd, for all your hard work, your vigor, your endurance and your heartblood. It is very appreciated and appreciated.

The lengths you guys go to entertain us. Thanks for this feature. Sometimes one doesn't quite know the kind of work there is behind.

This.... Is the best fucking birthday present I could've gotten. I have so much love and respect for this series and the work that goes into it, and this documentary was so much fun to watch.

I'm honestly just amazed by all of this. The storytelling, plot twists, work, organization, talent... just everything. Shows so much dedication to your art! And the result is entertaining as fuck.

I think that Board James 2015 is one of the greatest thing on RU-vid of all time.

You guys are such a unique team of amazing unique artists, we all love your vids and movies(and documentaries) please never stop!
