Help identifying this QS video ?

For some reason, I really like this video more than others that look almost exactly like it.

It doesn't stray from the classic formula. Maybe it's the simplicity, the breathless recitations of old familiar mantras, or the elongated timeline of the vignette. Although I have to say the cuffs didn't work for me. Arms are meant to be flailing around doing hopelessly stupid things in the attempt to escape.

I'm sure it was one the producers here, but I can't find an attribution other than "Orchid Studios". The pit looks like it should belong to either Dave or Fred.

Any information is gratefully appreciated.

Orchard Studios? Don't know who they are but can see this being taken down as I'm sure, even though I don't know the video itself, that has got to be by one of the producers here, probably MPV as Chimerix says! So effectively online pirating?

Yup. Ransom it is by MPV. There are dozens floating around that I tried giving producers a heads up every now and then but I am sure as soon as they are taken down, another takes its place. In the end, it really must be an endless battle for the producers here.

Yea, back when I was having (limited) interaction with the owner of Orchid Studios, he was clearly on drugs. I don't know if he is dead or alive or in jail.

In the early days of C4S, he was literally selling my scenes in his 'studio' without permission. This clip is a leftover from those days.

Just a couple of mouse clicks takes you to another YouTuber who has lots of copyrighted material posted. But it's OK... in the description, he says "Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)"

Even though he didn't bother to take down the credits off the videos, many of which clearly carry copyright notices.

See, I don't understand how YouTube can be bothered to strip the music out of student videos, but not catch egregious violations like that!

YouTube since Google has taken the reins has been a steaming cesspool of clickbait, spam videos and pirated material that often gets overlooked hence why I am surprised when I see a producer of any form post content on there. It really is that bad.

I think the gent you speak of is the same guy I told Dave about months ago. He was taken down and launched a new YouTube account and reposted all the deleted content.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to this thread. I never thought of myself as a big Video kind of person, so it would have taken me forever to try and figure out the sources by myself without any attribution given on the products.

But, having seen them, I really would like to (honestly) own a bunch of them.

So due to all that piratical renaming and bogus production company titles, it took almost the better part of today to track down all the real titles and producers of the original works. On the bad side, nobody likes a crook, especially the web variety. On the good side, it took seeing a lot of these to draw out my wallet for the ones I wanted to see again.

Squeaks and Solidarity.
