PRIVATE PROPERTY | THE FOUNDATION EP 1 | SCP Film 

Thank you everyone so much for all of the support you have given this production! We have just finished setting up our Patreon site if you would like to support us in that manner. www.patreon.com/modernknightproductions Again a huge thank you to all of you who are making Modern Knight Productions a possibility!

Fantastic start! If I may, I have some constructive criticisms: - night video is definitely a challenge; doing balance tests beforehand to make sure you can clearly capture what you need while still maintaining atmosphere is essential. - one thing you may want to draw from projects like Evan Royalty is his use of masks and dubbing. A primary reason for his mask use in both Dollhouse and Overlord was to allow for seamless dubbing of dialogue to make it clearer in the final sound design. Better yet, you can experiment with using wide shots where you can't clearly see their mouths (ex. from behind) and dubbing, while using close shots of their faces to make full use of your camera's microphone if your tech is limited. - this one is mostly me being a stickler as an infanteer myself - I'm not entirely sure if this is 'lore-appropriate' to this particular unit (I am a latecomer to SCP stuff), but the indoor room clearing of your operators needs quite a bit of work. There are a lot of uncovered angles, uncleared doors (ex. the door in the bedroom that was open but had a space behind it drove me nuts because they didn't clear it), a lot of 'lasing', and a lack of communication by radio or voice to clarify intent (ex. "small room", "step-out", "flow left/right", T-junction simo", or ESPECIALLY the entry at about 11:00 when your exterior operators didn't announce themselves to the interior operators on entry - that is a great way to have a blue-on-blue incident). A good rule of thumb for a team this size is to never break them apart; 2 is a fireteam in Canada, 4 is a fireteam in the US, and both are because by doctrine those are the smallest groups that can provide good mutual support. You wouldn't want two guys on SSE inside while another two are exterior in an unknown threat environment. Now to the resource: UFPro has a fantastic series called 'The Pro's Guide to CQB' that would clear a lot of this up. A lot of it is a question of, "If I were a defender, how many ways could I ruin their day during a room entry?", and then solving those problems preemptively while you are blocking out your action. Keep up the solid work! :)

"you have trespassed on private property please leave" "what do we do???" uh leave bro. 😂😂😂

The Negative • some of the lines were clunky (most were fine, though) • more could’ve been done with the entity’s voice & appearance The Positive • those transitions were great & there was some really good camerawork • the tension in that car search and house manifestation was done SO WELL with the music and sound

Honestly super impressive. I was surprised when this popped in my feed and I’m quite happy with it. It has a lot of potential to grow and become better and better. Hope you continue this awesome series

Tips: -Say your lines like you mean it -Have better reactions -At the combat scene where the entity tackled the soldier you should of made him have more emotion when he yelled 13:35 -Overall pretty decent but needs dubbing similar to Evan Royalty, keep up the good job!

I fucking love this. These dudes know their room clearing. I just love every aspect of how the carry themselves. They look like real operators.

Nice! Also this is the second SCP short film where none of the MTF operatives gets killed. Really excited for the next episode!

It's so cool to see more and more SCP short films coming out!! A bit of advice(from an audience stand point as I don't film anything ever): 1. My biggest thing during this was the voice lines. I really liked where they went and the exposition but they weren't really acted? It was slightly monotone and kinda took away from the suspense of the situation especially when they encountered the entity. 2. The combat. There felt like there was no impact within the fighting and felt too smooth and robotic. If there was more energy in it I believe there could've been a lot more done here(I still liked it tho) 3.CQB. I didntvreally mind it but the movement again felt kinda robotic and not human. This short film was really well done and I think you used your budgeting really well! Good job! Don't take my criticism seriously as I've never filmed anything in my life and don't know how hard it is but I'm just giving a little tid bit as an audience member. All in all, it's really well done and I can't wait to see where you take this 😊😊😊

Always love to see people make scp relatef films, really adds to the community.

A full length scp foundation film would probably rival, or do well above the likes of star wars, marvel, etc combined.

This is just wonderfull! I am so happy more SCP related videos are coming.

bro those transitions between some scenes were slick

First of all, this was truly amazing, great work!!!!! and this is supposed to become its own series? Even better!! I think that at least someone here has already summarised what improvements could be made in production quality to make this even better, while also keeping the costs pro episode down and manageable. So I would like to give some ideas for future storytelling instead, that might help make this into the great SCP series we all want to see. I'm sure that everyone here sees the similarities with Evan Royaltys SCP: Dollhouse and I guess Nathan Gagnon did that intentionally to catch the same vibe and hype train that current SCP movies have. Which I understand and support. But I'm hoping that this is merely the start to an actual set of unique mini-stories with recurring characters and plot, maybe even based on real on-site entries when possible. which brings me to my next point. The setting. The Foundation doesn't exist in a vacuum, there are outer organizations with different goals and ideas out there that occasionally interact with the foundation. These 'groups of interest' could really enrich a story, especially a series, based around an MTF while being moderately easy to depict on screen. An episode where UIU operatives are shown at the beginning being overwhelmed by an anomaly resulting in the Foundation being called for help. Our the MTF is forced to work together with GOC operatives which causes some conflict based around differing protocols, like the execution of a harmless anomaly. These kinds of ideas I find the most interesting regarding an actual SCP series. It could be something unique with actual in-universe lore being introduced and played with and not just another great horror story. Civilians getting involved and memory wiped or locked up for being anomalous now themselves could also depict the morally grey side of the foundation and deliver that personal horror aspect of 'that could have been me' to the viewers. Or a scene where a D-Class gets feed to an anomaly the MTF has interacted with. But at this point I'm just rambling, keep up the great work!! I'm excited to see what is to come.

This video is EXTREMELY underappreciated! This deserves more love! Keep up the amazing work!

Telling stories with darkness is the cheapest effect

Very good. Good set up. Good acting. Looking forward to the series.

Absolute Fire my guy.

Man this was great! Please don't give up and make more episodes!

This was great. Every effort to visualize the SCP experience is appreciates. I liked the atmosphere you created.

I love live action SCP stuff. Well done utilizing a super small budget.

awesome, can't wait to see this series grow if it continues

Stoked for the next episode. Really enjoyed this.

Great job Na it turned out really well better then I excepted. I can't wait until we can fund the next project.

This is phenomenal, would love to see more from you guys. Keep up the good work 💯

I really love how the search of the house was filmed in one go without any cut from 3:41 to 5:48. It's awesome.

Small amount of movie magic and it'll be perfect! Good job!

Dude this is amazing you earned a sub plus the effects when that scp showed up were really good can't wait for more well done guys

From what I read SCP 7302 is some kind of secret society

I'm glad there's more groups emerging for creating awesome SCP content

speechless...I can only say you're talented and imaginative

Thats an amazing short film! I love the costumes and the actors acting very good!

This was amazing! Though I think the MTF should've flipped their NODs up when entering the building.

Loved the deep rumble in the beginning. Really isolated your hearing and set a great mood.

seasons and episodes!!!!???? lets gooooooo

If this is just one out of many, sign me up, looked sick and can’t wait for more.

thanks Gagnon for all this work i will enjoy to see wath you reserve us for the future

This amazing, cant wait to see more!!

Nicely done! hope to see more!

great work guys, some critiques but others have already covered them, all in all this is a good idea executed well. :) cant wait to see what you're cooking up :D

Love the video and the effort man, cant wait for more!

Good start. Your crew will continue to improve the more you make! Keep it up!

Return of the SCP content, I like it

Talk about one hell of a home defense system that would be. Awesome work too all of you!

YOOO, this is sooo cool you guys deserve much more views

awesome short film/episode!

Totally rad dude. Great job!!!!!!!!

That was freaking awesome!?👍🏼💯

Great work guys! Looking forward to your next video.

Really enjoyed this. Once the 30 seconds were up, I was like: *No, team! GET OUT!* 😱

Really awesome! The uniforms reminded me of the second Alien movie, all the soldiers have there own spin and decorations, I mean its made up anyway but I was looking at all the uniforms and all I could think of was alien. Very impressive job!❤

That's a good security guard

This is awesome guys keep up the good work

This channel needs to grow.

oh my god. *it's finally happening.* **happiness noises** In all seriousness though, this is so cool, maybe some muzzle effects and added recoil would be a suggestion. With like the grabbing from the creature and the falling down be a bit more hands on too I guess. But other then that this is great and excited to see what episode 2 has to come.

Great film ngl the 2 with the nods still on was kinda funny but all in all great film, and amazing acting

I've been watching SCP vids for hours and this is the best one. THUMBS

I can't believe I just found this after a month after its release. However it seems everyone here has their opinion and I agree with some of their points like the acting, tactics and effects. But I wouldn't blame you. Here are the things I liked. 1. The gear is good. Love the modded M4s and the MP7. 2. I've watched a some of these SCP military short films. This is the first one where non of MTF died lol. 3. The anomaly seems terrifying ngl and the voice acting is good. 4. The dialogue of the operators to each other is fine. Especially the two masked dudes while searching the car. Good film here. Looking forward to see more!

Old man Golem wants to cuddle trespassers. Tonight at ten.

That was a nice, Twilight Zone, classic ghost story, episode. Love it!

How does this not have more views, this is amazing!

Keep it up boys! Making the O1 Council proud.

This is really well made and I'm surprised it doesn't have more views.

very well made hope you continue the series

The laser link-up procedure was a surprising but welcome detail

This is great stuff 🤙🏼

This is honestly a lot better than I thought it'd be. I'm a fan of the voice lines between the two guys when they were searching that car, it adds a little bit of funny to a serious situation without overdoing it. I also really like the one guy with the feather on his helmet, that little unique thing about one character adds a sense of favoritism. It bring major Ghost from Call of Duty vibes, he's just not as cool as Ghost. I'm also a fan of the editing here, other lower budget short films go for minimal to no editing whatsoever, this was a nice change.

Just me and the boys out in the woods hunting SLENDERMAN

Nice, while waiting for Evan to post another SCP film, I get this banger! Pretty good for a first.

Good job guys!!

Amazing production! keep it up!

Great short film but I would recommend proper use of night vision since they all had it on in the house which would be blinding if they saw light, and clearinghouses would also be a helpful tactic to learn because it was very iffy. Great film, cant wait for the next one!

Damn, this was amazing!

Well done lads!

Tbh I don't understand how this doesn't have more views.

This was really awesome. love seeing content about the MTF from SCP. Definitely clean up the audio design and get some VFX on those gun shots. I was confused because there was no visual to what i heard. Night time shooting is tough. Try to experiment with lighting so things dont look tooo dark. Overall super fun watch. Hope to see more!!

NVG Would be blinded in that light, but I guess the foundation has stuff that's different

not too bad of a movie. nice transitions :)

Just an editing tip - when they were breaching the house - if you wanted to create suspense for the viewer, having multiple cuts in rapid succession adds tension - rather than one long take.

The inspiration of works :)

love when the scp community and the tactical community collide

Dude, I know I’m 2 years late, but I really hope you see this comment. I have to say, I am extremely impressed. I see people commenting saying the acting wasn’t what they would like to see, but holy shit dude, having been in the military, specifically the Marine Corps infantry, the acting was ultra relatable and on par with the way we would interact with eachother. I felt like the acting was some of the best I’ve seen with this SCP stuff. Dare I say, better than overlord? I loved overlord to death, but the delivery of some of the lines in SOME parts were in my opinion cheesy/Corny/ what you’d expect civilians to think the military sounds like when they interact with eachother. Don’t get me wrong, not all the lines in overlord were cheesy, but you really delivered realistic lines here, especially the way they were kind of salty about Alpha 1, I loved it man. And I also loved some of the slightly light hearted funny/slightly comical aspects to some of the guys dialogues and movements. The tactics were some of the best I’ve seen in the SCP short films, weapons manipulations, all that was fantastic. With the realistic lines, and the tactics, and the way the characters felt, you must have had some Military dudes on set? Infantry guys? I feel like you nailed it. And was that a feather in the one dudes helmet? I’ve never seen that before but I thought that was a great, unique touch, I liked it lol. For the lighting, I don’t know if it was purposeful, or due to lack of camera equipment or whatever, but I actually liked the way the dark was SUPER dark, especially when they were first rolling up to the property line, it felt so real, that’s what the night looks like, I felt like it was great, I know some people probably didn’t like that and saw it just as part of low budget, but I thought it added more realism. I’m telling you man, I’m thoroughly impressed. I hope I get to see more from you. Thanks for that. Great job.

Great short. As anomalies go, this one's pretty mild.

Take it from a guy I know who has a friend of a friend that wears a uniform that’s hard to see and wears a flag that covers all lands that these conversations do not happen. You infill, assess collect and extract. Conversations and communication is looks in the eye and nods. The debrief once exfill is successful is where these open conversations happen in a room with air conditioning in another country Apparently so I hear

That was solid!! But i think it need a bit of work, but still was impressive ;) good job dude! Keep improving (I think you should play with more stereo sound, it gives a immersive enviroment)

Great short film I like it! 🔥

My only critique is the costume design, but everything else, especially the lighting is exceptionally well done

Good job guys.

now this is CONTENT!

Only issue was that some of the spoken dialogue was unclear. Other then that this deserves far more views then it has gotten so far. Must be the Foundation suppressing it :)

GREAT JOB!!! Now all we need is for someone to make an x-com like version of SPC.

Sweet. A rendition of what they see thru NV would be a nice touch.

Nice dude!

Oh this is like a remake of that way way better scp short film

Can't wait to see more

I really like this

13:02 its a lil creepy but still love it !

There's a series? Sweet!

Very nice one!

really nice!
