I love how he sighed when he mentioned rotoscoping. That's the only accurate attitude when it comes to rotoscoping.
Agreed
"Did you just say the client wants me to roto smoke?!"
+RC-1290 "You want me to add 1 frame??"
RC-1290 "So in this vfx-heavy shot I want the protagonist to wear both blue and green clothes. I know it messes with the computer, but you can fix that, right?"
+RC-1290 "Wait, just how much hair are we talking here?!"
Wait is that Clint from Corridor crew?!
that's what I was wondering. I think it is. looks like him.
It is
before working w/ the corridor crew , he was at Rocketjump
they hired him because they needed more staff
Yes it’s him
@Mushrif Ahmed plot twist: he is full CG character
I'm honoured that you guy's used one of my comps from the film 'Everest' as an example for keying! Been watching you for years, and you were one of my biggest inspiration to start doing visual effects! Keep it up!
I just clicked the video randomly and it made me really interested in learning VFX now. Thanks!
I've seen so much real smoke in movies thinking that its CG smoke that I now think real smoke looks fake.
k
true that fizz
EXACTLY!!!!
that's me but fire instead of smoke
I’m confused
3:57 - 5:09
This is why I always get mad when people say 3D is "cheap" or "lazy" compared to hand-drawn animation. Hand-drawn animation is tedious in its own right, but to say that 3D is "lazy" is ridiculous because there are SOOOO many things that go into making a good 3D movie/effect - far more so than what goes on into making a good 2D movie quite frankly.
It's as if people think 3D is just when people sit on the computer and just flail their arms on the keyboards and magically stuff happens. It takes a LOT of freaking work in creating a character even before you really get a chance to actually animate them.
EVERY 3D animator who had their chance to draw on a tablet for 2D digital will tell you how Freaking easy it is to animate a rigged character, mind my words, " Animating a rigged character"
Nobody says 3D is cheap or lazy. He didn't even say it in the video. Everyone agrees with you. Why are you ranting about this? This is an an unnecessary stupid comment.
agreed
I love to rotoscope, especially when you mess up one frame and you fix it and AE messes up all the other frames for you so you can keep the fun going
HAHHAHAHAHA
You love to rotoscope? You mad lad.
i laughed out loud a painful, gut-wrenching laugh.
Do things like this more! 101 so we have something to start learning from
Yeah. You're right
I clicked bc i saw Clint, stayed bc i love this channel :))
I am not a movie/media student, but watching movies is one of my passions. The first time I watch a movie, it's because of the story. The 2nd to the N-th time I watch a movie it's because of the time, hard work and software engineering that goes into making a movie. Thank you for teaching me how to appreciate it even more
I sighed at the same point as soon as Rotoscoping was mentioned. I had to rotoscope gloves onto a hand in a TV series once (a detective forgot to wear forensic gloves) the hands were holding evidence that was a bloody glass bulb full of water, the actors hands moved in front and behind the thing. it was a long long scene, too many late nights rotoscoping it. So the word sends a shiver down my spine.
That was a really comprehensible and elaborated discourse on VFX. Thanks a lot!
Wish you had posted this 10 years ago before I spent an ass ton of money going to school for it. Great video I'm glad you shined a light on this complicated little industry
Davinci Fusion can do particle effects and CGI, and it uses a full 3D space for compositing.
I think the piece he's missing is the enormous talent you need on top of just learning the tools to make good VFX.
So cool! Now I know slightly more!
Can't wait to learn so more stuff!
I'd love to see a video on how to start. Like the very basics of how you get into the world of filmmaking. Should you go to certain classes and how do you build up a career. What are the chances on getting a job, not just for the actors but for the whole team.
Clint from @corridorcrew ?? What a suprise
By far the most well explained tutorial on youtube regarding VFX and all different roles and responsibilities in it. Thanks!!!!
Technically rotoscoping isn't cutting someone out, the term is borrowed. It's the process of adding a layer on top of footage (originally, physically drawing over footage). Rotobrushing on the other hand, is using the rotobrush/masking tools to cut someone out so you can get the asset you'll put on top of footage, and VFX kinda just uses the two terms interchangeably.
Yes, rotoscoping involves frame-by-frame analyses, but it is not always a frame-by-frame task. In fact, one shouldn't have to adjust much if the fluidity of the rotoscope is adequate.
I really like this idea, and I wish more people would do something like this - just tell me all the main things that I might want to look into to figure out how to do some larger task. In this case, visual effects, and the many pieces of that. I loved your sigh for rotoscoping--probably my least favorite thing to do :P
Anyway, thanks for this!
I was wondering when the minds behind _Epic VFX Time_ would do a VFX video.
Well hello.
i know it is quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to stream new movies online?
@Augustus Gregory meh I watch on Flixportal. just search on google for it :P -noe
@Noe Soren thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it!!
@Augustus Gregory happy to help =)
Look who it is! My boy Clint!
About 4:30 in the video you talk about lighting using a 3D modeled face as example. I would be cool to see an 101 episode about practical scene lighting on faces, facial expressions, emotions, body, object lighting, reflections, shadow casting, etc.. how to play with light. Great job on the channel btw!
Awesome video! I keep explaining these things over and over ;) I'd be happy to elaborate the 3D part more, it felt too short. Great stuff!
lol I like how he sighed before saying rotoscoping
k
honestly I've clicked on this video because I was bored.. but this video was very interesting, subbed!
+Universall I have no plans to make any film or video. But this is one of my favorite channels anyway!
Universall Clicked because of Clint ;) Check our Corridor Crew and their adventures if you don’t know what I am talking ab
sweet thanks. I'm gonna go make a transformer movie now
Hold on there *Michael*
Copyright you get sued
Thank you for explaining all of this. I didn't know the difference between vfx and sfx! That's what hooked me!
One of most interesting and helpful videos!
This is really a good one about VFX in a nutshell
How come whenever you guys upload videos it always perfectly coincides with whatever class I'm in. I go to one of those old fashioned real life film schools...
Question @ Clinton Jones
Do you work on the animation at Rocket Jump or do you just know information about it from previous projects? Because as far as i know, I've only heard of you acting in the short films. Though it's cool if you do both, I just hadn't heard any mention of it.
i use 3Ds Max and CC4D
What you will use?

1st time I've found motion graphics really useful
YOOOO IT'S CLINT
Ahaha when he said 'rotoscoping' I literally went 'ugh' at the same time he sighed; it's a universal pain.
the people on this works so hard for every frame in the screen
Thanks to give an additional and detailed info
and hats off to reaction abt Rotoscoping
We just had Academy Award-Winning VFX Artist Rick Shick on our show, he had some great insight with over 3 decades of experience in the VFX industry. #gentscofflaw
This video was really helpful. I've recently started working in 3d fx and knowing this terminology will help me a lot, thank you.
How’s it treating you?
This was great!! Loving the 101 style videos keep em coming!
Overview given for VFX is awesome and useful. thanks a lot.
Hey. where is the I don't find any TH-cam channel in animation link .
Main question. Most important question.
What is the music playing in the background of this video? Percussionist here who's reeeeally curious because it sounds lovely.
I only knew who he was from corridor crew
Could you do a video just like this, but for special effects? It would be very cool to have a list of in camera effect techniques and tricks to practice. Also a video on how to shoot with miniatures (props and sets) with best ways to measure and match scale would be fantastic. I haven't seen many videos on those topics.
I like stuff explained. It sure helps when it's done with such suave.
I got you. No links for Matte Painting in the video description ;)
I learn more here than my media class 😂😭 such a good vid, you have my subscription 👍🏾
I love this guy. You spoke well. Thumbup
Rotoscoping! Hmmm, thas another world. Its cool watching your videos
I really loved the video! but just one question, to beacome a VFX artist is it necessary to study something concrete? Or you just can learn little by little with tutorials and stuff like that
Can't wait to see this class develop :D
Very well explained! Crystal clear. Loved the video, love to start some tutorials
So you're alive.
Such a nice simplified explanation. Nice one.
was cool to see a model I made appear in this video. :)
I'm a software developer, my passion is to become a vfx artist. .. Subscribed
That was great...thanks man...I was looking for simple definitions to get the idea and concept of what VFX artists do in visual effects...thank alot
Please release more videos like this (Y)
Make more of these PLEASE!
this should help a lot of people
This is an AWESOME video. great footage and explanations!
Thanks for creating this video, it's helped a lot.
Very cool! Thanks for taking the time to create this video.
So good and very clear description Thanks,,,,,
thank you for giving me a ground which is a best place to start
ILP and Fido, nice seeing the Swedish scene in these vids.
What do you call actual-binocular-3D, like, you're following Sam on his motorcycle leaning left and right weaving through traffic, but you don't want your 3D-camera tracking with his bike because that'd heave the landscape when viewed by the audience, but you also don't want to track with the level landscape because that'd knock the audience cockeyed in 3D-glasses as they 'instinctively' lean, so you want to track mid eyeball tilt-calculating live....
Just now I realized the difference of special fx and visual fx
Dayuummm Clint looks soo good with short hair.
really good video, surprised it hasn't been done before. Thanks!
wow actually finished this whole video
1:44 was that the actual footage from Ultra Violet??? I know the film was bad but I didn't know it was that bad
Yeah same when I watched it for the first time I thought it was really realistic lmao
So much of this i'm currently learning and have way more to go (untold given there is no true end to learning all new things!).
Excellent video
Just a quick question: How do you get all of those "behind the scenes" footage of the different films?
Love your tutorials! :D
probably from the special features and behind the scenes things you get when you buy some films , like theres sometimes a disc 2 when you buy a dvd with all that stuff on it
Great. Good teacher. Thanks.
I always get the question "so, your job is to make cartoons and movies?" This video will make it easier to explain.
This is probably a really dumb question, but why is there a green screen for example at 0:41? Why is green screen needed in that shot?Cant you add the castle in post without the green screen?
Just found out that you are the guy from bollywood vfx review
GOD of VFX :)
Great video! very concise and engaging
such a nice information you shared ... can you please tell me the softwares you discussed for special effects
Wow u teaches so well, thanks for helping me by ur video. Gudluck !
Awesome explanation.......Great
Great video,nice explained!
I hope after this people will know that special effects isn't visual effects..
Clint is my favourite person in this corridor crew chann..... Wait a sec🤣
Great insight guys .. your efforts are very much appreciated .. 😁
Awesome! This stuff is like gold to someone like me!
Blender is all you need, it is a bit daunting at first, but when you get used to the UI, blender is an awesome tool to use. It has come a long way in recent years, especially the latest build of 2.79.
Awesome stuff, thanks for sharing!
Because you mentioned it, now RocketJump has to make an animation. The challenge has been issued.
Extremely helpful
Lovely content bro!! cheers!!!
Very good, thanks for that mate
what a learing video..thank you so Much sir...Love from India..
I subscribed because of this video. :)
Keep up the good work!
Awesome video thanks!
wich sofware did i need to do what you are tallking about ?
So I'm slightly confused. Why would you rotoscope instead of just using green screen?
