He did the same thing on a spaceship bridge scene years ago. I kinda riffed on it in my LLC film reunion, I had two fighters move around my pan and tilting camera on green screen, but then put an orbiting camera 3d background behind, looked like they were staying roughly in place, and camera was moving around them. It still hurts my brain after doing it.
It is moments like this that I think I learn the most from VFX -- it's as much as the work of CGI artists as the actors themselves that makes a convincing scene.
@@samh659 its close, but stadion doesn't just translate to Endstadium in German. Endstadium would be better translated with final(End) stage(Stadium). Though Stadium could be used as an really old timey way to say stadion and it can also mean stage or phase. Krebs does mean cancer AND crab in German trough (i mean cancer is the star sign that should by all means be called crabs even in english).
I love that it took me all this time to realize the elevator was a cheat to get around the lack of shooting space. This thing looks so crazy good, Ian.
Haha yeah! That's my favorite part! We got to use the same greenscreen for 3 different places. You could do the same thing for getting in a car and driving somewhere, or conveyor belts, or anything where a person's in a vehicle, really.
Have watched this teaser so many times and I STILL cannot believe it's eevee, it looks wonderful, and the green screen elements are seamless. Brilliant all around.
I'll tried patrion, but I'm from india, it's take too much cost from here but I can't have that much enough money to spend on that It's shows 3$ from starting, but in india it's 250 rupees.
The fact you made this using blender and a simple setup is both beautiful and so inspiring to me. I rarely leave comments on videos but on yours I just had too! A+
As a guy with a theater degree, I'm going to make the same comment that I did on the no-behind-the-scenes version of this video: the acting is awesome. IIRC, the actress is Ian Hubert's wife. She makes this look easy, but it's not. Everything she does in this scene, she convinces us that she's not acting, she's just going about her real life. She's just putting on her boots, she gets onto the elevator because she wants to grab some food before she goes wherever she's going. When she watches the robots on the screen she pays precisely the right amount of attention (even though, in reality she's looking at a green screen). She looks like she's not acting because she's such a talented actress. Believe me, getting this kind of performance out of most actors is like pulling teeth. Everything in this scene would look like a bunch of fake sci-fi BS without her at the center grounding it all. It looks real because she makes it seem real. Others have noted how she makes one of her turns seem like it's a camera rotation -- truly awesome -- such a lovely performance.
Do you have any idea how inspirational your videos are Ian? One thing I love about TH-cam is it has democratized filmmaking. Not just having the ability to upload your art directly to the fans, but people like you who show us how to create Hollywood quality films without giant Hollywood budgets. Just know you're appreciated.
that's nuts. It means games could look this good in realtime (which I guess would be Cyberpunk2077). I can't help wondering how this would look in cycles or octane though.
every time i see this i'm blown away that it's all in eevee, from the realistic look to how polished it is. this is a huge testament to ian and eevee that cannot be expressed enough. the lighting, the textures, the particles.. it just feels so lived in and amazing. i swear this is better then some big budget movies
@@lcmiracle provided that they have hi res video, automatic 3d camera tracking can be easily done through software (3d camera tracking from after effects, for example) and purge the camera data in relation to 3d space to blender. Easy to say honestly but hard to execute
Absolutely mind blown. This looks, feels and sounds EXACTLY as the settings of some of my dreams, it feels weirdly "at home", not only the looks but the sounds and everything. Too god damn good.
there's only one thing that stood out for me, and that's the artificial "hand held" camera movement, dont know if it's just me but if feels very off for the fact that it moves through space in a way a person handling the camera couldn't possibly do unless they were flying around.
@@IamWibbly While the shake is a little too much, I do feel that sometimes people "handle" the camera in films too much like an actual camera or person standing there. For instance, in a scene where there are only two characters in a room, there isn't some third person with a camera in the actual world/story of the scene. This is why lens flares are kinda weird to me. They can look cool. It can be something stylistic, and that's okay, but sometimes people just make it look like someone is literally there filming everything, and it can really take me out of a scene...
Brilliant. Very well planned out to suit the illusion of ground covered. As others have already pointed out in the comments, brilliant how a simple body turn can help simulate a camera move. Thanks for posting.
I've watched this many times now. I am both blown away and frustrated! Frustrated as this is the sort of thing I wanted to get into when I was young, but the technology was not even close. So excited for the people today that can put their immense imagination on the screen for very little money. Congrats!
I used to work in the art dept in the film industry involved in set design. This, along with the Unreal Engine virtual Sets used in the Mandalorian, are going to change everything. It looks phenomenal and it will be made for a fraction of the cost of real sets. My mind is blown!
@@firo729 It was rendered in Eevee so bright HDRI skyboxes are a fast way to get a really bad looking scene :). There's no shadows from hdri light sources. It's more just good manual lighting.
Ian, you probably hear that every day, but this is simply amazing work. Since I'm working on SciFi short/teaser myself, this is really inspiring. Thanks for sharing this.
Ah, it's for a TH-cam series! I've got a bunch of it filmed, but I ended up going nuts with the CG in the first episode, so post has been taking forever, haha! And thanks! :D

PS: I am no one to nitpick this amazing work and all praises to you and your work. Just a little feedback. That's all. Thank you
In this particular scene they are just made with planes with greenscreened people on them. It's Ian and his friends dressed up with old clothes. In the new shots he's working on, he's using photoscanned people animated with motion capture. You can see this on his patreon.
So awesome! Love the turn effect at the end haha. I'd love to learn your tips and techniques for realsitic Eevee work in terms of shaders, and lighting.
Ian I love your videos. I really like the behind the scenes stuff. It's so well done, I wish I knew a lot more to try it. Also fantastic job by everyone envolved. Can't wait to see this finished.
Even though I know CGI has progressed this far, maybe its because I am 40 and growing up this kind of green screen magic was pretty much sci-fi-fantasy... but I keep being amazed how much CGI can do and (most probably) is used. In my mind, elaborate sets are still being built. I love watching videos like this. Its like watching a magician explain his illusions.
Just dropping in to give a salute after watching Dynamo Dream a few days ago. Outstanding. By Hollowwood's output lately, some might fear there remains no more creative skill left on the planet. Nice to be about as wrong as wrong can get.
I had seen your green screen setups in previous videos and immediately thought "He didn't shoot that there, how could he have tracked the camera around the talent like that?" lo and behold.... Ian the magnificent, simple asks her to twist! Love what you are all about! More power to you!!!
I love long single shots! This is really well implemented and executed. Great job! I love your work and set direction, I can't wait to see more work, and more breakdowns.
Did anyone else notice how the tripod appears in front of the actress in the final product when she rotates at 2:05 ? I didn't until I saw this breakdown. There is so much going on in the scene I might never have noticed it without the breakdown. I must say, I never guessed that that camera move was faked by her just rotating her body. Really clever!
wait, it wasn’t the camera orbiting around her in the end while she is in an elevator, but her pretending to turn? dude, so much planning, such a cool work
When she rotated her body for the camera move- mind blown
I'm glad you pointed that out because I would have never noticed

I was looking at the final scene and was like "HOW did the camera rotate around her" but then realized that she was turning ahaha
