David Sandberg explains some VFX techniques used to make Kung Fury's actual real animal and action-packed sequences. www.kungfury.com/ www.fido.se/ greenscreenanim...
Great stuff. I especially liked what you said about "combining the best of both worlds". Many movies rely far too much on CGI, and the scenes end up lacking in atmosphere.
PropaneWP The lord of the rings movies are the perfect example of this.while it had cgi most of the monsters like the orks and uruk hai were practical FX
BoomCarrot i know ,right? I still don't get why it was more expensive to make the hobbit trilogy than the lotr trilogy. The lotr trilogy was filmed in the new zealand countryside and it was heavy on the practical FX side. How the hell does it cost less to make that than 3 movies who were pretty much filmed with nothing more than a green screen i will never know.
The more videos like this I see, the more Im shocked by the resourcefulness and ingenuity of Sandberg and the rest of the staff. Just fucking incredible.
It would be more expensive to make, and there would be only CGI in the time travel scene, some stop motion, prop guns firing blank, analog sound effects, and authentic 80s synth.
Holy crap - I thought your digital work was impressive but those practical effects are an inspiration. Beautiful, smart, and mind-blowingly effective. More on the practical effects, please! More than 2 minutes, ha!
Kung Fury is now a modern legend! How one guy can make a better film than most of all the Hollywood output in the past 5 years. Thank you for showing everyone how it should be done. Creativity and ideas FIRST.
So refreshing (well, refreshingly old school!) to see special effects used to their full effect - to actually enhance a scene instead of the lazy reliance nowadays of everything being CGI.
love all the behind the scenes stuff! can't say I blame barbarianna for cracking up during that scene, haha. fantasic work from the whole team and I can't wait to see more of behind the scenes stuff as well as any future projects (director's cut, a sequel) that may come in the future!!
What I find fascinating is that they use these effects combining the best of both worlds and it still looks more sophisticated than most Hollywood action movies. Opinion only
Proud to be one of the subscribers of this chanel. And i wish u are the director of all fighting movies like Tekken, Street fighter .. Better than the crap that we saw .
Th3uNn3rV3d Yes, Kung Fury movie by KatzSmith Productions with Sandberg again as director went into pre-production. They're having a hard time with story/plot, because they need to cater both to people who have seen the Internet short and to people who will be hearing about Kung Fury for the first time.
Your shadows were captured at green screen stage or did you add them at post? I am learning virtual production in Unity engine, and one can have real time everything. Some things are nice. Your green screen studio is amazing! such a talent you guys got.
1:52 blew my mind! I never realized that the Nazi-robo-legs from the kung fu research montage actually belong to the arcade machine! Look at those feet! I don't know if that's some seriously subtle foreshadowing or just the production crew re-purposing a 3D model, but that moment of realization made me laugh.
Irondrone4 It's intentionally connected. It took me 3 or 4 times watching the short before i caught it, but it was rather explicit in the montage at the end of the movie, so i blame myself for not noticing it earlier. When he kills the arcade machine, a side sticker peels off, revealing a Swastika. Fury contemplates "Where have i seen this before". Enter the montage which immediately shows the robot legs again. Chances are, the idea with nazis training robot legs came from the arcade machine idea initially. Perhaps they could have made it more explicit by forcing the viewer to focus on the legs of the arcade machine, i.e. by having a few frames where legs wiggle a bit but nothing else moves, or by having the arcade do the very same movement that the robot legs make when Nazis develop them.
I hope you'll partner with McFarlane Toys, Revoltech, or other toy company to make 'Kung Fury' action figures. Barbariana and her giant wolf definitely deserve to be immortalized on our toy shelves.
Did you use any 3d software to create explosions and fire or is it all pyrotechnics and stock footage? If you used 3d software for explosions, what did you use?
Green suit guy must be glad he entered his line of work.
Its a female
ha ha ha

NIELS MICHIELS And the hobbit is a great example of too much cgi :/ It isn't as breathtaking as the old trilogy, because of its lack of realism.
BoomCarrot i know ,right?

NIELS MICHIELS And the story... Don't even get me started on the story...
PropaneWP and I especially like your profile picture.
Did you have to pay the guy in the green suit or did he pay you to be in that position?
Leadfarmer153 i would have payed too
"Her", it's not a guy.
Good question XD
😂😂😂
@@Stormwern Guy, girl, same difference
It's been 8 years since Kung Fury, I think about this so fondly still.
The more videos like this I see, the more Im shocked by the resourcefulness and ingenuity of Sandberg and the rest of the staff. Just fucking incredible.
Just beautiful. Thanks for inspiring me to become a green screen guy.
I wish Barbariana would ride me like that..
same here
DrLeatherface pick-up master proof
DrLeatherface fuck yea i would of layed on my back barbariana is soo damn hot
0:39 and 0:42 - we need a gif for science
hahaha
loving this insight
KhailAnonymous khaiiiiiiiilllllllllllll
KhailAnonymous Hello Khail
The movie was amazing, and watching how the effects were done was also very entertaining. Hoping for a full length video of the behind the scenes.
Imagine what Kung Fury would be like if it was actually made in the 80's.
Allie-RX We should hack time and make it happen!
Would have been made by Cannon films and started Chuck Norris or Charles Bronson lol
It would be more expensive to make, and there would be only CGI in the time travel scene, some stop motion, prop guns firing blank, analog sound effects, and authentic 80s synth.
David Hollywood needs you.
You guys did an amazing job on the visual effects for this movie.
Holy crap - I thought your digital work was impressive but those practical effects are an inspiration. Beautiful, smart, and mind-blowingly effective. More on the practical effects, please! More than 2 minutes, ha!
love this 80's feel cyber punk!
Love it. Wanna see much, much more. A full, feature length "how it was done" would be great.
Awesome stuff. Looking forward to more behind the scenes videos
you are a GIFT to Hollywood David. Looking forward to the sequel! and to still work with you in the future! :)
Kung Fury is now a modern legend! How one guy can make a better film than most of all the Hollywood output in the past 5 years. Thank you for showing everyone how it should be done. Creativity and ideas FIRST.
If you ever need a guy to go under Barbariana you can call me :D
You've done a legendary job on this.
I can't get enough of it
This is incredible. I had no idea so much work went into this
The production was so awesome, that 4 people liked it, turned the screen upside down, and liked it again
Great video! I always love seeing behind the scenes stuff.
I'm curious to see how he did triceracop.
ZombieMurdock667 the awnser to everything is: green screen xD
sodapopinsky87 dont ruin my dreams of a triceratops/cop hybrid damnit.
haha!... check out the other videos of lazer unicorns.... the whole triceracops fx is in there
This is why Triceracop won't be on SDCC. ;)
ZombieMurdock667
Motion capture of the head with a 3D tricertapos head with animations to match the speech, breathing, and expressions.
So refreshing (well, refreshingly old school!) to see special effects used to their full effect - to actually enhance a scene instead of the lazy reliance nowadays of everything being CGI.
I really wish you guys come back to create more of this magic!
Excellent stuff.
Can't wait for the full length version of the film.
This is so cool to see the magic behind it all
Tank you David.
Tack för att du väckt hopp hos mig för coolt VFX i Sverige!
Some really awesome practical effects! Excellent production workflow!
Thank you Mr. SANDBERG! You have made the world a better place.
love all the behind the scenes stuff! can't say I blame barbarianna for cracking up during that scene, haha. fantasic work from the whole team and I can't wait to see more of behind the scenes stuff as well as any future projects (director's cut, a sequel) that may come in the future!!
I'm most impressed the stunt guy actually did the splits like that, even if assisted by wires.
Awesome of you to share how it was done!
You are Genius David !!! Love it !!! ,)
You really created a masterpiece. I look forward to more content here and your future work.
Really good Job, OSOM!
Some really well done visuals here.
Great visuals, David. Can't wait to see more.

David, you have some incredible skills there man! I hope you Kung Fury helps open a few doors in Hollywood. You're going to go far!
David I just love your work! Thank you for sharing these techniques with us.
Proud to be one of the subscribers of this chanel. And i wish u are the director of all fighting movies like Tekken, Street fighter ..
Better than the crap that we saw .
I halfway hoped David would do the narration in the Kung Fury voice lol. Really cool stuff!
Yessss practical + CG used to enhance practical effects is the way to go!
Great video. This kind of stuff is really helpful for someone like myself trying to become an up and comer. Congrats on the success of Kung Fury guys!
Thanks so much for sharing your insights. I agree that the use of both practical and cgi yield the best results. Its just knowing how to use them.
These are so awesome to watch! I wish there was a full movie scene by scene breakdown D:
I would totally watch that
Can't wait for another VFX breakdown :)
Excellent video! Keep them coming! Congratulations on the completed project. Kung Fury looks fantastic!
What a good job. Practical effects are the best!
Beautiful work man, I am so amazed by the whole thing.
You inspire me to make my own film David! You're amazing!
watched Kong Fury last week. Best movie ever
Amazing work!!
Very kind to share the VFX breakdown with us !!! some more ? ;-)
You guys did very very well on the production
Waiting for the 2 hours movie.
Combining oldschool and new techniques, love that attitude!:)
Any chance for a feature version?
Hey David, what an awesome production! I wanna ask you; are all the voices in the movie overdubbed, especially your one?
This movie was epic. I would have paid to see it in a theater. Any plans for a feature length film? Possible the sequel?
Th3uNn3rV3d Yes, Kung Fury movie by KatzSmith Productions with Sandberg again as director went into pre-production. They're having a hard time with story/plot, because they need to cater both to people who have seen the Internet short and to people who will be hearing about Kung Fury for the first time.
I love all that hard work you make, to do de wonderful kung fury *-*
Great job guys greetings from Argentina.

This Is Some Next Level 80s Action
Great stuff. What I want to know is: how did they make the asphalt spray up like that in the miniature shot?
Most triumphant brotha brotha!
Kung Fury is the best movie I've ever watched. Seriously THE BEST ;)
David Sandberg you are awesome!!
"I could tell he was dead straight off". Well no shit! I loved this part of the film.

Great job! A lot of pleasure,
thanks!
Why don't you told me,you want a green screen guy riding by the Viking girl.I sign in for free.

I learned more from this video than from my whole semesters learning CGI in college

This is insane! Love it guys! You guys did an amazing job.

I would love to be in one of these movies...
