You totally nailed talking about working blind when making sequence back in the early days. I did a CGI MA in 1992 and the work the students did using CGAL which was a pascal based programming language, with almost no GUI was amazing. It took hours to produce a 320x240 px wire frame preview and 20+ mins for a frame render. Most of the work was done in our heads. Any ex Bournemouth Uni 1992/93 alumni out there?
A point of note on the "fast giants" in the first clip, is that something often overlooked when people talk about giant things moving slow is perception. Giant things *appear* slow to us because, though they move incredibly fast, they are also covering incredible distances, and so our perception of their movement changes, especially when viewed from distance. A perfect example of this is the Earth itself, because though it rotates at about 1000mph at the equator, to view it from space it appears to be barely moving at all, because of just how big it is. A more comprehensible example would be footage of building demolitions. They almost appear "slow motion" because of how far the building has to fall, but the pieces are obviously moving at incredible speeds. If you consider a tiny Jenga tower falling over, it begins and ends its freefall in a matter of a few seconds, whereas a demolition of a high-rise will take many times that time to completely fall to the ground. Yet the high-rise will be falling *faster*. So in the case of the Godzilla clip inserted when saying "Giant monsters don't have to be slow", Godzilla *isn't* moving slowly there, it's covering a very large distance in a very short space of time, its just also very large, and viewed from quite some distance, so the effect is it appears slower. If you were riding on Godzilla's foot, you'd feel like you were moving very fast. This is a pet peeve I have in a lot of video games with very large enemies. In order to make said enemies attack very quickly so the player has to react fast, they make giant monsters move at comically fast speeds, far faster than is remotely realistic.
You gotta look at the storm effects in Twisters, particularly the shot where the white Ram truck is reversing down the road as the tornado wipes out a small building. It looks goooooood.
01:57 The issue with fast giants though is that when running, their center of gravity falls at the same amount as ours and not at the same percentage of their body, so when they are off the ground, they won't be able to make contact as quickly for the next step. They will have to look as if running in slow motion, unless they have completely different running mechanics.
I intuitively knew that giants shouldn’t run the same as humans, just bigger, and watching them move just feels wrong but it wasn’t immediately obvious what the issue was and I didn’t put any thought in to it, so I’m glad you pointed this out. Now I’m thinking about how you would even go about making it accurately, the only thing I could think of is lots of tedious trial and error until it looks right enough, or just run some ai simulations to see how it decides is how a giant biped would run
I’m surprised you guys didn’t notice! In the jumanji clip when the lion is walking towards Robin Williams you can see a transition to the puppet lion head. You can see it in the front tuft of hair that all of a sudden appears out of nowhere! Go back and check it out!
I noticed that too, and the audio. I'm kind of curious what exactly changed for this episode. Edit: They said in a reply to a different comment that they had a new editor helping for this one.
Am I the only one that felt like the editing was slightly off in this video? Like parts where it’s just silent or weird cuts from when talking to him not talking anymore
What, KUNG FURY is nearly 10 years old? Damn, still waiting for the announced kinda-sequel with Michael Fassbender (!?), probably called "Kung Fury vs Kung Führer" or something like that.
2:10 akshually, yeah they do. Gravity is always the same acceleration no matter the mass/size. how fast you can run depends on how fast your legs can connect to the ground to push against it.
Maybe in realism but not in fiction. They were talking about giants and then showed a scene from a show about humans turning into huge creatures. We don't have to have realistic thinking in all aspects of fiction....that isn't fun.
ya know, I am French so the "th" sound is not native to us, but that exact sentence and the closeup on Jim Carrey's mouth is what unlocked that pronunciation ability for me :D
Great episode as always! Definitely recommend checking out opening scene of season four of the original X-Files TV series. Awesome shot where they’ve got five children that look exactly the same same, with moving camera. Pretty sure they did it with one set of twins, but the comping is fantastic. The show was shot on film, but their VFX shots were rendered out in SD, the shots still has all of its resolution so it was either redone when the episode was released in HD, or they found a way to do it in Camera. Either way, it’s a great shot.
There's an old Indian movie called "Maya Bazaar" which was made in the 60s. But the special effects they used in it are amazing, and sometimes keep me guessing how they've achieved them. Would love to see you guys take a crack at it ✨✨
Agreed! Revisiting the process of how original CGI techniques were developed always really blows my mind too, in terms of the level of programming & physics knowledge the artists and their tool-developers had to have! These days so much of the process can be computer-automated, but not back in the early days... 😅
@@SegginsProductions I think the first three movies had games based on them. I’m not sure about the newer movies. I remember it vividly. You play as the different characters. They grow and gain abilities and items. Large scale battles. The Minotaur design still really gets to me every time I think about it. They looked great, (for the time), and were chunky enemies to take on. By the last few fights they’re absolutely EVERYWHERE😂👌
Thanks for all these years of details we might have missed ! And here's to the next videos, no doubt there are plenty of games out there that deserve you to have a look. And as a fan of BG3 too, I know I'll answer the call !
My favorite visual effect is the T-Rex against Bus scene in Jurassic Park 2 where the T-Rex is running through the city and bangs against the bus with his head. I want know so bad how they did this.
My guess is that the bus was rigged from the inside to collapse. You pull it inwards with wires attached to the wall of the bus, and then it looks like it collapses from something hitting it from the outside. Then just composite the t-rex in.
@@AWSVidsThat's exactly right, in the behind the scenes they rigged a bunch of wires and hydraulics to collapse the bus from the inside, and the T-Rex was composited into the shot.
I believe they might have done that scene on a previous vfx artists react because I'm pretty sure I remember them talking about it. edit: sorry, replied to the wrong person lmao
It's helpful for people like me who want to write for film and television to listen to gents such as yourselves because it helps us visualize how our impossible scenes can become real. It also gives me specific ideas on how to produce / direct a film on a tight budget while ensuring that it looks badass. Thanks for the encouragement.
THE VINE CRUSHING THE CAR SCENE! It took me so long to find a BTS of the Vine scene in Jumanji and it's so cool how they married practical with CGI. I really wish you showed that.
10:35 there's another great example of this technique with a godzilla shaped ram used to smash through a miniature house and hillside in Shin Gojira (2016) the finished comp is just beautiful
Also, the "bad CGI that ruins a shot" Hobbit example they used is not that bad imo. I really dislike the Hobbit trilogy and its overuse of CGI and overall digital look, but here in this example, what is bad is not really the CGI, it's how the scene is written, the overall idea of it. The CGI by itself is not perfect but it's not that bad either. The shot and the moves of the characters are stupid and what is ruining the scene.
Unironcially that lion shot blew my mind. Ive seen this movie countless times and never realized this was cgi because it just so good compared to some of the more clearly rough early cgi the film has. Crazy that this is in the film.
@@cable7152 he was talking about how fast moving monsters are more intimidating than slow moving ones like giants and those I Am Legend zombies(i know they're not really zombies)
SOooooo glad you covered Jack the Giant Slayer. That movie changed me the first time I saw a mountainous giant sprint. And I'm really glad you guys enjoyed it, because I've never met another soul who appreciated it like me.
I saw a clip of Jack the Giant Slayer and immediately thought it looked amazing. I googled the director and it's directed by Bryan Singer who directed other great movies like The Usual Suspects, X-men, Superman Returns, Bohemian Rhapsody. I think Jack the Giant Slayer bombed pretty bad at the box office and is basically waiting to be found on streaming services.
Who's editing these..? Usually the react episodes are super dynamic with a bunch of sfx and music but lately there are some (like this one) where something's off... Either way, still a fan and always will be, love u guys!
"A tiny bite can make you itch; make you sneeze, make you twitch." --- any time there are mosquitos or bugs, I recite this.😛 One of my all time favorite films.☺
The Alien squid attack on the engeniers from Prometheus is a really well done VFX shot, look so real and well implemented, would love to see you react to that
Huh... Did you re-edit this after the upload? The timing is very different now. I hope the new editor doesn't feel too bad because of all the comments.
Recently watched extraction 2 and I think you guys would love the one shot sequence with hidden cuts, it’s a LONG sequence but it does really well with keeping it intense
I remember watching Jack the giant slayer in the movies when it first came out and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THAT MOVIE so seeing you guys giving it props makes me wanna go back and watch it again 🥴🥴
To recommend you some animated movies/series, try the movie Mars Express (2023). It’s a French Sci-Fi and polar movie and it is refreshing and has an interesting style. They combined hand animation for humans and 3D animation for robots. By the way the budget is only 6/7 million euros. It is very refreshing especially in France where animated movies are generally made for kids. Really good pick. From the same director, there is the series Lastman. Super cool series with low budget.
I feel like sam brought jack the giant slayer in to talk about why its cool but not good or something lol. Like he had this mild dislike for it while wren and jordan were just loving it!
I don't know if it should be Stunt Performers React or VFX Artists React but you should look at the subway scene from Die Hard with a Vengeance. I could not believe how it was done when I found out and the BTS footage is insane
Was honestly surprised you guys never looked at Jumanji before. I saw it in theaters as a kid, it scared me but i LOVED it. Seeing the stampeded sequence in theaters was incredible, the entire movie theater felt like it was rumbling. I remember later seeing that behind the scenes of the blue painted Rhino and thinking that was the coolest thing ever with how they were able to pull that off as a kid. I am really glad you showed Kung Fury also, I loved watching that when it first came out.
Omg yes, everything felt so "Off" I was falling asleep. Weird sound mix. Weird cuts in the same scene, no transitions, no music, voices being cut off. Quite odd indeed.
Please do react to "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.". Lots of robots, spaceships, time travel, gravitonium, Inhumans and of course more importantly Ghost Rider, Lola etc. It's got quite some stuff to get its own episode.
@@LaurieCheers I mean, there are 136 episodes and most of them do feature a lot of CGI except for like a few. So kinda difficult to name Episodes individually so I mentioned some topics off the top of my mind. I will try to include some more.
Wren and Jordan's reactions always crack me up! Quick question, have the guys ever reacted to any VFX from the show "Fringe"? There are so many cool effects even just in the first few episodes!🤩
I don’t know where else to drop this suggestion on you guys, I hope you see it! I was just watching “Only Murders in the Building” on Hulu. Near the end of episode 2 season 4 (about 31 minutes in) there is a scene where Steve Martin goes by himself into his bedroom, sits on a chest at the foot of his bed alone, and when the camera moves slightly suddenly Jane Lynch is sitting next to him SEAMLESSLY. It was the kind of trick shot and or effect that I would have never noticed if I wasn’t primed for it by watching years of your “visual effects artists react” series. The only thing I noticed was a slight shadow fade in where Lynch suddenly appears. I’d love to get your guys’ take on it!
You should do an episode where you compare how older and newer movies handled similar visual effects, and talk about how some older movies possi ly did it more convincingly, och how modern technology just makes it so much better in some situations.
@@Dornvud nah man, a slow angry mob is just a crowd. They aren't bothered by you or your presence. A horde of zombies will never stop coming, slowly but surely creeping towards you and whilst you can outrun them in the short term, they'll never stop. They will always find you. A creeping death, ever looming. Fast zombies is just some chav in London who calls himself a roadman because he thinks he's hard.
"Giant creatures don't have to live in slow motion" It's funny, because while I agree to that for stylistic and artistic reasons, in reality, larger creatures do, in fact, experience the world slower than smaller creatures. So a giant would actually live life in slow motion, it just wouldn't recognize it as such because it wouldn't know any other way of experiencing the world.

15:18 Wren creating parallax with his hands was actually the most impressive part in this. I tried it myself and realized how hard that is to do.

I too agree that practical elements, even though sometimes so difficult, almost always look ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! (With rare exceptions)
7:30 I thought i was on a trip when i first heard sam say that lol
Came to the comments to say it was the perfect time to be hitting the pipe lol
I swear listening to sam at this point gave me an aneurysm
"A tiny bite can make you itch;
make you sneeze, make you twitch."
--- any time there are mosquitos or bugs, I recite this.😛 One of my all time favorite films.☺
"A game for those who seek to find, a way to leave their world behind" - Cemented in my brain since 1995.
Watching these react videos make me appreciate older movies more and makes me want to rewatch them 😅
The Witches of Eastwick would make for a great video. Crazy effects and great cast.
The Alien squid attack on the engeniers from Prometheus is a really well done VFX shot, look so real and well implemented, would love to see you react to that
Holy cow they actually finally did Kung Fury
Agreed 😊
Please, please, please "remaster" the Jumanji "monkeys in the kitchen" clip! It would be so interesting to see it done with modern tools!
Original Jumanji is such a classic. Still holds up because the story and characters are great as well as the vfx being serviceable.
1:35 i was literally looking up how to get those high detail parts today and didn't know the name, so thank you
Would love to see you bring David Sandberg onto the couch!
Huh... Did you re-edit this after the upload? The timing is very different now. I hope the new editor doesn't feel too bad because of all the comments.
Nice to see Sam referring to a Cinefex magazine during the Jumanji sequence. RIP Cinefex.
Flexing his collection if he has these all to hand!
Recently watched extraction 2 and I think you guys would love the one shot sequence with hidden cuts, it’s a LONG sequence but it does really well with keeping it intense
20 minutes after post and Temu doesn't have a Live Like a Horse, Play Like a Monkey shirt yet. They slippin.
I remember watching Jack the giant slayer in the movies when it first came out and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THAT MOVIE so seeing you guys giving it props makes me wanna go back and watch it again 🥴🥴
I'm so happy you've finally looked at Kung Fury
The avalanche scene from xXx (2002) is honestly super impressive for its time. You guys should look at that.
To recommend you some animated movies/series, try the movie Mars Express (2023). It’s a French Sci-Fi and polar movie and it is refreshing and has an interesting style. They combined hand animation for humans and 3D animation for robots. By the way the budget is only 6/7 million euros. It is very refreshing especially in France where animated movies are generally made for kids. Really good pick. From the same director, there is the series Lastman. Super cool series with low budget.
Love the series but I would much prefer it if you didn't use AI generated images
yeah those shitty ai images were a huge bummer.
That's pretty weird to see this moment of silence in episodes, no music on background.
That's awesome I recommended come Fury a couple months ago and you guys actually did it and feel validated in life now😂
I feel like sam brought jack the giant slayer in to talk about why its cool but not good or something lol. Like he had this mild dislike for it while wren and jordan were just loving it!
I don't know if it should be Stunt Performers React or VFX Artists React but you should look at the subway scene from Die Hard with a Vengeance. I could not believe how it was done when I found out and the BTS footage is insane
I couldn’t click fast enough when I saw Corridor Crew and OG Jumanji.
You guys should do a breakdown of those old NFL fantasy league videos! they were really well done with very simple tricks anyone can replicate!
Kung Fury has the most badass depiction of Thor I've ever seen in a film.
Mortia and Gomez dance in the Addams family. The scene where he spins her on the floor. Wild stuff going on here
13:42 Caually citing Dune as a negative example lol
Was honestly surprised you guys never looked at Jumanji before. I saw it in theaters as a kid, it scared me but i LOVED it.
Seeing the stampeded sequence in theaters was incredible, the entire movie theater felt like it was rumbling. I remember later seeing that behind the scenes of the blue painted Rhino and thinking that was the coolest thing ever with how they were able to pull that off as a kid.
I am really glad you showed Kung Fury also, I loved watching that when it first came out.
Some weird editing in this one.
I prefer it, it’s less cutty
Haha noticed it too.
I think is because it's lacking background music?
Seee, raro debe ser por la lógica que manejan de rotar equipos de gente
Omg yes, everything felt so "Off" I was falling asleep. Weird sound mix.
Weird cuts in the same scene, no transitions, no music, voices being cut off.
Quite odd indeed.
YESSSS. We've waited years for a Kung Fury breakdown. Did not disappoint!
No sponsor ad, that was very nice. Thank you
Nobody cares.
@@cenciende9401er...but you just commented?
This video features the most fun movies yet! I WANT TO SEE THEM ALL NOW. haha
Please do react to "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.". Lots of robots, spaceships, time travel, gravitonium, Inhumans and of course more importantly Ghost Rider, Lola etc.
It's got quite some stuff to get its own episode.
There's a lot of it, maybe call out some specific episodes for them?
@@LaurieCheers I mean, there are 136 episodes and most of them do feature a lot of CGI except for like a few. So kinda difficult to name Episodes individually so I mentioned some topics off the top of my mind. I will try to include some more.
Very good show. Kudos for suggesting it. 👍
Wren's earnest, wholesome amazement was just absolutely joyful to witness
Its just a matter of time before Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman are on here.
We can hope!
Why? They are not VFX artists
Wren and Jordan's reactions always crack me up!
Quick question, have the guys ever reacted to any VFX from the show "Fringe"? There are so many cool effects even just in the first few episodes!🤩
What's going on to edit? It feels stumble to me.
They could be using a new editor who is still unfamiliar with the editing style of this series idk but, I know what you mean.
I always thought that one shot of the lion in Jumanji was just animatronic with roto. Amazing.
11:45 just casually reading a magazine lol
lmao yeah, he seemed kinda checked out this episode.
Heh it's actually the Jumanji issue of Cinefex magazine from 1995, probably looking up details.
When I see things like this, it always makes me wonder if it's an easter egg clip they'll use in a different video.
I don’t know where else to drop this suggestion on you guys, I hope you see it!
I was just watching “Only Murders in the Building” on Hulu. Near the end of episode 2 season 4 (about 31 minutes in) there is a scene where Steve Martin goes by himself into his bedroom, sits on a chest at the foot of his bed alone, and when the camera moves slightly suddenly Jane Lynch is sitting next to him SEAMLESSLY. It was the kind of trick shot and or effect that I would have never noticed if I wasn’t primed for it by watching years of your “visual effects artists react” series. The only thing I noticed was a slight shadow fade in where Lynch suddenly appears. I’d love to get your guys’ take on it!
"Tank you!" for doing Kung Fury!
You should do an episode where you compare how older and newer movies handled similar visual effects, and talk about how some older movies possi ly did it more convincingly, och how modern technology just makes it so much better in some situations.
Lots of implied "don't mention Bryan Singer!" in the Jack The Giant Slayer bit.
Why is that?
How's that tin foil hat fitting?
I just rewatched the 2003 "The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi". There are some CGI moments in that are probably worthy of your attention.
Editing kinda off in this video, but u know what? Still funny. Kkkkk
Ha! I told you (like two years ago in the comments)! Jumanji invented hair animation. Thanks for finally revisiting this movie!
0:32 there’s actually 4: the fourth one being cgi that’s so bad it’s funny
3:18
Hell no. Slow zombies are by far the scariest. It makes them special. Fast zombies might as well just be any old angry mob.
100%
And slow zombies can be just a slightly angry slow mob :/
@@Dornvud nah man, a slow angry mob is just a crowd. They aren't bothered by you or your presence. A horde of zombies will never stop coming, slowly but surely creeping towards you and whilst you can outrun them in the short term, they'll never stop.
They will always find you. A creeping death, ever looming.
Fast zombies is just some chav in London who calls himself a roadman because he thinks he's hard.
"Giant creatures don't have to live in slow motion"
It's funny, because while I agree to that for stylistic and artistic reasons, in reality, larger creatures do, in fact, experience the world slower than smaller creatures. So a giant would actually live life in slow motion, it just wouldn't recognize it as such because it wouldn't know any other way of experiencing the world.
Wouldn't this be an interesting project? Make videos as reality is experienced by smaller to bigger animals?
