One other thing about Apollo 13....I read that when they screened it for the still surviving Apollo astronauts, a few of them asked where they got the archival footage from. The guys there on the day - the guys who knew everything there was to know about the Apollo rockets - believed that they were seeing real, existing footage of the launch. For the FX team, it doesn't get better praise than that.
Film Riot has been running for so long that I was a literal child when I stared watching. All throughout I went to highschool, film school, then grad school, worked as a re-recording mixer, and then ultimately switched industries 😅
I'm so glad you did 'A Matter of Life and Death' (1946) in one of your videos. It's one of my favorite films of all time. Another is Jean Cocteau's 'La Belle et la Bete', also from 1946. Considering it was made in post-war France, the special effects may not be too impressive by today's standards, but that they happened at all is practically a miracle. Fred Astaire's 'dance on the ceiling/ from 'Royal Wedding' is worth a look, too.
I got one for your next "How'd they do this?" How did they make Kermit the Frog ride a bike in The Muppet Movie? Obviously it's a puppet with it's feet glued to the pedals, but was it pulled by fishing line? At one point it's got a very visible lean to it, so it would have fallen over, surely. And I don't see a track in the ground...
Fascinating! Loved the behind-the-scenes look at how classic films achieved those iconic visual effects. Really makes you appreciate the genius of the special effects teams of the past. Can't wait to see more!
I thought for sure on that last one you were going to say "No fancy green screens, no spinning of the set, they just built an actual elevator and used it between two specific floors built for the shot." 😀
It goes a very long way back in film history. One common version was to have a forced perspective set of, say, a street. The actors in the foreground are adults on a normal scale set which diminishes in scale until the actors in the b.g. are children. On a period film they might be riding ponies or riding in pony-drawn carriages.
Yay! I got them all correct. Was particularly happy with getting the Star Trek one correct. Not sure if it's because I watched it on my phone and that's a smaller screen but the first 'scene' screamed fake to me. Maybe these things show up easier on a small screen?
Uh, at 7:23 our parent company's post production division hires actual musicians, composers, and they have a Music Supervisor and Foley Artists and ADR Department. We don't use stock music but if the Story or Script calls for it we would have the Post Division create on synthesizers by musicians.
They managed to make a giant finger for one sec shot, such dedication. I would have ignored that shot and take shot from another close or medium close!
Ryan, maybe you know the answer to this: when did movie credits move from the beginning to the end? I’ve been watching some older films and noticed that some have their credits in the beginning and end the movie with a simple “the end “.
I think you get paid too little for the advertising you have in your videos. They are masterpieces, super entertaining and enjoyable, brilliantly written and executed. If not yet, you should charge a lot more for these ads. They really stand out from the masses. And of course the rest of the video is super informative too!
Pls do a vid on how to do 1 takes but with multiple shots, like 1917 and extraction. But go into detail. How do you line them up in post if it does not match?
Awesome effect info for the 300 shots, BUT what has baffled me forever and its probably just my misunderstanding of editing slow mo. BUT knowing that you cant have two different frame rates on a single timeline in an edit, such as 24fps and 60fps both coexisting in a 24fps timeline, because as i was told the 60fps would just play in 24fps anyways. I know speed ramping is a thing, but im still confused on this.
Please explain the shot under the stream at the very beginning of the shower scene in Psycho. I just can't figure it out how they manage to have absolutely no drop on the image. And THANKS for all the serie, I love it!
Apollo 13 launch is good but the engines igniting does not look anything like how the F1 engines light up. A fire extinguisher through a rocket nozzle, in no way!!, resembles the F1 Saturn 5 rocket engines lighting. Go and look at the 16mm slow mo launch footage. But it is still well done. Just not accurate.
Looking at that boat being towed uphill, thinking: gosh this sounds like one of Kinskis deeds... and of course there he stands, annoyed by the cries of pain of those with cut up/off limbs slowing down production, again. What apiece of shit who thought he was god. Like a Pharaoh dictating his slaves, still not being pleased while blaming them for diying. I mean even, look at the face he made constantly before exploding randomly on other people. Glad he's gone Good video tho 👍
"They" didn't name it "The Vomit Comet", all aircraft have been nicknamed that when used to train our astronauts to experience near-zero gravity since the 1950s.
I know and understand that you are a film channel and yes, films have music in them. But, when you are talking to us about how things are being done, please, pretty please with sugar on top, do not play any music (or more to the point, do not add any music to your dialogue track). For me (and as I have been told, not everyone) 'background music' during a host's talking is a very distracting thing. I am focusing on the information you are giving me and yet my brain also wants to pay attention to the music it is hearing. Very frustrating.
Ryans Corner was the best ad I've seen for quite some time.
Agreed. SO good
IMO it's their best ad since the Ford Fiesta one, that I still keep finding myself singing every so often "one two three four five six siete!"
He truly is better than all of us!

Wow !
Came for the special effects, stayed to Ryan's Elegance.
We definitely need more of Ryan's Elegance. There's not enough in the world lol
You guys perfectly match filmography enthusiasm with technical know-how, no fuss no muss, it's always a joy to watch.
Oh how I missed the film riot ad sketches
Can we talk about that perfect Musicbed ad? Okay lets talk about it. It was perfect.
Star Trek's mirror gag is absolutely ridiculously underrated.
I love Apollo 13 too, Ryan!! I love watching behind the scenes documentaries on this film, it still blows my mind how they filmed in weightlessness.
Film Riot has been running for so long that I was a literal child when I stared watching. All throughout I went to highschool, film school, then grad school, worked as a re-recording mixer, and then ultimately switched industries 😅
that's quite a career already, young Man ^_^ *salutes*

Probably one of the most amazing ad breaks ever made
Best sponsored advert ever.❤
5:49 was NOT expecting that "hello" with that voice lol! AT ALL
I've been waiting soooo long for yall to feed us some riot..😢
The ad was hilarious. Love learning about the hacks for these effects.
I thought for sure on that last one you were going to say "No fancy green screens, no spinning of the set, they just built an actual elevator and used it between two specific floors built for the shot." 😀
The movie Alien also did the same trick with the kids.

Love this SFX series. Y'all are hitting home runs every time here. Bravo sirs!
I was there for the Star Trek shots. B tank at paramount.
Yay! I got them all correct. Was particularly happy with getting the Star Trek one correct. Not sure if it's because I watched it on my phone and that's a smaller screen but the first 'scene' screamed fake to me. Maybe these things show up easier on a small screen?
Still my favorite TH-cam channel of all time. Love you guys!
Practical camera shake is still one of the best things to do in your work IMHO

Learntainment at its finest!
Awesome! 😎
Awesome! Thanks.
Crazy that im only now seeing #6, excited to catch up!
I look forward to this. Please keep them coming and keep up the good work.👍
*Can you show us how they did the scene where Buzz Lightyear falls from the window in Toy Story 1.*
Fantastic episode!!
1:55 - 2:00 I have this film in 3D on Bluray and have seen it in 3D. The 3D is very good there.
I am too old for this stuff 😅🥰😍, Thank you 🙏
Ryan's Corner is the new Turbulent Displacement!
They managed to make a giant finger for one sec shot, such dedication. I would have ignored that shot and take shot from another close or medium close!
I dig this series.
Corridor Crew talked to Robert Legato, who worked on the launch sequence of Apollo 13 and you should watch the extended version.
Great video!
Hey Film Riot, Could you let me know when you will have your next Sales on the Triune Store ?
Ryan, maybe you know the answer to this: when did movie credits move from the beginning to the end? I’ve been watching some older films and noticed that some have their credits in the beginning and end the movie with a simple “the end “.
Thanks!
I only knew the Telephone one and my only correct guess was the Ship miniature and I got all others wrong.
Good to know now!
Is The Film Riot Podcast over? I liked hearing people in the film industry give their experiences and advice.
Love this one!

Hey Ryan, you should should the bridge crossing scene for the 1977 film Sorcerer and show it to the others to see if they can guess how it was done.
Awesome effect info for the 300 shots, BUT what has baffled me forever and its probably just my misunderstanding of editing slow mo.

I would not have guessed that 300 one.
It would be epic if you guys did a corridor collab
2:01 - Manaus, my sister in law lives there!!!
Please explain the shot under the stream at the very beginning of the shower scene in Psycho. I just can't figure it out how they manage to have absolutely no drop on the image.
And THANKS for all the serie, I love it!
Film Riot still exists? Oh good for you
You guys have to tell us how you got that film grain in the ad to show up so clearly on TH-cam
After all those practical effects, using the green screen for that turbolift scene seems almost... disappointing 🙂
Love this series! How did it start?
Can you make a tutorial on how to create a rocket launch vfx effect like Apollo or space x
I would love to see Steven King’s 1408 in one of these episodes.
Yes!
For sure we'll now never be able to unsee that. Thanks Ryan for ruining the film for us 😂
could you do the effect from Spaceballs Where looking at now
Neat!
My problem is that, not only do I not understand how the scenes are done…… I don’t even understand the explanations 😎
I love these videos, but I'm gonna have to have beef with calling 300 a classic 😄
If you tell me that's real, YOU ARE WRONG..🤣🤣🤣🤣
Klaus Kinski butting heads with you, to be perfectly fair, is not a sign of bad leadership, either
❤
Here is suggestion , why not do an episode that promotes other film makers that are influenced and have used your tutorials,.
every german knows klaus kinski and made fun of this movie and the leader offering to kill him to the director :D
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Good video tho 👍
"They" didn't name it "The Vomit Comet", all aircraft have been nicknamed that when used to train our astronauts to experience near-zero gravity since the 1950s.
still the ry guy can't match his Monday to Thursday consistentency
Herzog has said that directors who use storyboards are "cowards". Having seen some of his "masterpieces", I'll stick with the cowards.
I hate Jar Jar Abrams.
First
300 is not a classic film. It's a passable movie by a hack wannabe Ridley Scott without the talent, vision, narrative ability or originality.
Gotta get some better dudes to interview. Boring the whole time.
Tik Tok kid?
