    As a fan of this channel, I've waited 2 years for you to analyze these scenes from The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. I was one of Nicolas Cage's photo double in this movie - you can see my dotted face in the BTS clips. I was doubling for Cage's current self, and Nick Wittman doubled for his younger self. But in the end, when you see Young Nick Cage's face, it's the real Cage, just de-aged. Thank you, for mentioning this movie in your show!

    I might be wrong, but I think the left one was a shot of Jake, because I remember Jake also doing it (pulling the leather straps) with the fish-bird thingy when he first learns to ride it, and the one on the right is the one with Lo'ak when he first learns to ride the other fishy-thing, because the hands are more than enough to show it, because Jake has a much more vibrant pigment than Lo'ak, and the one on the right might be Lo'ak and the one of the left might be Jake and that is why both the shots looks a lot more different. 😅😅 and I think the shot on the left might've been real with Jake and used it as a reference for the second one with Lo'ak. And also the colors of the saddle are different in both the shots, which further pushes me to believe that they might be two different shots.

      I would wholeheartedly agree, if it wasn't for the questionable choice to go between 24/48 FPS during the hybrid action/visual set pieces in premium formats.

      I think this movie is exactly what it's predecessor was--the very best photoreal CG we can do at the time. I can already tell it's gonna age. It's not perfect there just moments that don't quite hold onto that "holy shit that looks real" grip that as the technology improves and we can do better this film will age and look just as fake as the first one does in comparison to it.

Like they wanted to zoom out instead of in so they just reverse the footage thinking no one would notice. Well my hyper vigilance sees it every time.

    According to Eric Saindon (VFX Supervisor for TWOW): The shot in question was both live action and CG. The props department built a llu saddle and strap for Kevin Dorman to sit on in a small pool on stage. Kevin's hand and forearm were painted by Sarah Rubano using reference of Jake's arm from the CG model. Jim Cameron was then able to get the performance he wanted for the wrapping of the strap around Jake's hand and interacting with the water. Once we got the plates at Wëtä FX, we match moved the motion and used CG from the straps above Jake's wrists. We used real water over the saddle and around the hands and fingers. CG water was used to extend the plate and to get the interaction of Jake's body in the water.

    As someone who works with leather, my opinion, looking at the way the leather interacts with the water is that the leather at least is done practically. There are nuances with the way water affects leather that I don't think VFX artists would take into account. There is tension in the strap and there is a cause and effect of how that tension disperses when he is pulling the strap tight. There are too many elements interacting in such a realistic fashion for it to be completely VFX.

      i think it's still important to consider that the shots these guys are showing are two different ones. One is of Lo'ak and one is of jake. So they didn't just make a real shot for the trailer, these are both part of the film. As the person b4 me said, expertise matters both ways.

      Yeah, basically they’d do some CG water extension for where the Na’Vi body interacts in the background of the shot, and maybe the arms are CG, but everything that’s the harness and the hands, and the water directly around them is real take.
      There are also many shots of “live action” Na’Vis that haven’t been picked up yet, although they can be quite more obvious to spot
      So in short, the main thing we see in this shot is live action that is enhanced with CG “to the sides”

      @cruzlewis4445 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just for some contexts, it's the first Japanese made Godzilla film to primarily use CG. But they still mix in some practical effects as well which blends nicely. The production blew their budget on a huge animatronic for the movie, but ended up scrapping the idea and that's why for the first part of the movie the CGi looks quite lacking and in comparison you can tell they put all of their effort into Godzilla's final form in this movie because it looks fantastic.
