I love Tim's attitude towards everything. Cringing at old work, roasting TH-cam critiques, lifting up artists, focussing on storytelling, deflecting compliments. The man seems so genuine. Great interview.
I appreciate Tim supporting the original authors of the stories that inspired him. I agree with him that there are some stories that are hard to translate into film without monologuing for an hour, but likewise "a picture is worth a thousand words" and there are some visual stories that just have no words to describe them. The two story mediums compliment each other for that reason, in my opinion, and I love both of them.
It's something I think some are too ignorant of or too arrogant to recognize. Like I've seen people complain about some small feature in a video game and say it would have been easy to fix or do. But it probably isn't. It might be easy in isolation, but incorporating it into the rest of the code could mean weeks of debugging and tweaking to make it stable again. And I knew an indie film maker that was huge on "show, don't tell". He was the epitome of stereotypical film student. That guy that waxes poetic about how he doesn't partake in popular stuff because it's all so trite and boring. But as an amateur author, I know there are times when you just have to infodump. A thirty second narration can save you thirty minutes of action. Like introductions in a heist movie. Hey show you why the character is the best at what they do, but the voiceover ties in years of backstory. That guy is the kind of person I dislike. You have to prove yourself to him to be an equal in the field, but he'd probably try to ride your coat tails if you surpassed him without his help.
Fantastic episode. I run Cohesion Press, where five of the original stories for the seasons of LDR were found, and we also published the two books containing ALL the LDR stories, as shown on this video. Tim is an amazing guy. One of the most humble yet at the same time talented guys I know. A real human being who hasn't got a big head about his well-deserved success.
Yeah. He's one of those self actualized people you see in Maslow's Hierarchy. Good to see they actually exist because most people at the top reek of selfishness and arrogance.
I had no idea most of the stories on LD&R were already existing stories. I just assumed they were all original. I hope one day I see a Brandon Sanderson short story on LD&R, or maybe a d&d/fantasy themed season. Love, Death, & Magic please. Thankyou😁
There's tons of wild short stories out there! One of my favorite things to do is picking up a sci-fi/fantasy short story anthology, people do a bunch of compilations of them. You get a bunch of really interesting stuff! I think China Mieville's stuff would be great for the show.
Tim is so freaking chill. I can't imagine a better boss or role model. When are you going to getThe Daniels in? EEAAO is a masterclass in what you guys do. You could do a whole month of reacts specials on that movie; VFX, Animators, Stuntmen and the Directors themselves. Happy New Year, yall. Keep up the good work!
I think this just the sort of caliber of person you become being at the 5% of your field. No ego, no blustering…just professionalism, kindness and a love of what you do. You can’t be among the best in an industry with a bad attitude.
Out of the entire corridor crew Niko is the last one I would've guessed would say "Mmm hurt me more daddy," to Tim Miller but then again I'm glad he did.
That little bit during the Drowned Giant really encapsulated the difference between a perfectly capable, albeit industry-adjacent artist and an industry-innovating one who's seen it all over decades. Tim sees zero challenges as a sad thing while Wren didn't at all. Even other industry professionals and heads might welcome one less challenge to deal with, but that just speaks to the mindset that Tim Miller has had as someone at the helm of a smaller, driven studio.
i watched a bunch of the announcement cinematics for the three sc2 campaigns, and i had to keep reminding myself that these games came out SO long ago. they truly are just incredible. that LotV one, where the zealots fioght to defend the probe warping in the pylon? goddamn that one is incredible
As a VFX artist, whenever I get lost by what I am doing with my career, I watch Love, death and robots and I remember why I love to do what I do! Thank you Tim and the team at blur for showing us all how good it can be!
Tim Miller is such a boss. He's that extremely rare type of person that can appear both friendly/inviting and threatening/imposing at the same time. Born to be a leader. I've only know one person like him in my life thus far.
I’m a paramedic who’s recently working in a hospital. When I’m on lunch break I absolutely love watching y’all’s show. U guys have a wonderful channel. 😊

I saw the transformation scene from the 1991 movie "The Guyver" last night and I actually said out "woah" out loud at how good it was. Check it out. Neat blend of what I think is stop motion, slow motion and live action.
Tim's been my favourite guest so far!! You can tell he really lovs his work and takes pride in it, and stays humble about his process. Would love for him to make a comeback!! Great episode :)
I think Ami Yamato would make a good guest for this show; she seems to know a little about VFX, you know, with the way she edits herself into movie scenes and stuff.
I watched this movie called looper recently and there's a scene where a guy's limbs are disappearing as he's walking and I thought that it would be cool to get a look at that.
I was watching Micky's Christmas Carol the other day, and because of these breakdowns I appreciated it so much more. The door knocker morph, the candle moving from the room into the fireplace and the light in the room changing. They drew some cool stuff. Thank you for giving me a new application of the little details.
Same here. For me, it has a certain charm to it. Wether you love it or hate it, it’s nice to go back and see how it looked. They walked so Modern VFX could run.
I think it's more of a nostalgia thing. They look cheap, but they probably take us to that time of innocence and awe. I mean, I got blown away at Mario 64 when it came out and my friend let me play it on his N64. Now I'm playing Astro's Playroom on my PS5 and feeling exactly that same sense of wonder and overwhelming joy at the graphics and details. Yet, I keep thinking about Mario 64 as I play it even though in comparison, the old game is just a bunch of blurry polygons. Still, what they made me feel was so special, and I'm getting to relieve it in the PS5.
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Tim Miller's view on being comfortable with the size and scope of Blur Studios. So many companies and corporations fall into the trap of pointless growth. I feel like so many ventures keep wanting to expand,without truly considering if there really is any point to that growth. So many times, it feels like that growth comes at the cost of the quality of their product as well as the intimacy and efficiency of their work environment.
Tim Miller is by far my favorite react to CGI guest. Scott Adkins was amazing as well, but I have a soft spot for Giu's contributions to the React series.
I loved Tim Miller, would love to see him come back for some more great react episodes. Also I would love to see more L,D+R episodes with other great animators. Personally I would love to see Love, Death + Robots have more episodes per season, like Season 1, but I don't know how much work goes into that.
This guy looks like the happiest man in the industry. And it shows in works by his team. I, for one, know one person who used to be my classmate who in 00s got so inspired by Blur's CGI videogame trailers that decided to become a 3D artist.
This was a great interview, and Tim is a great guest. I do take one issue with something he said, when discussing the story behind "The Swarm". He said that people don't want to hear monologuing, but I think that depends on what the story is. "My Dinner with Andre" is a movie that is just two guys having a conversation over dinner. It's 100% dialogue, and it's fascinating. I think what matters most is what the story actually IS, and how it's presented to the audience.
I'd be interested to hear your takes on some early works by Monte Oum, like Haloid or Dead Fantasy. The dedication and time that one guy put into those has always been mind-blowing to me.
Sunny's Revenge is still my favorite short from LDR. My 2nd favorite would probably be Mason's Rats, idk why but I found that one funny & entertaining. Poor Susan (Mason's Cat) 😿
Me and my Wife watched the 3rd season yesterday, waiting for the New Year, and I come on TH-cam the next day to find out Corridor did a VFX Artists React with Tim Miller hours prior to watching the season. The timing is insane, I love it. Also, Swarm was my absolute favorite, I loved the ending. It was a great way to 'uno reverse' the whole subplot, and I would pay good money to have it expanded into a full series.
So glad you guys showed a second of Rockfish by Blur. It’s one of the first animated shorts I watched and it’s one of the few I always think about and have a hard time finding online. Another one is a claymation-style animation called Gray (Grey) and it’s about purgatory. Unsure if it’s by Blur though, I def knew Rockfish was by Blur.
@@Zenzuke Legend! Looks like I was a little off on the title, "Fifty Percent Grey". I appreciate this so muchg, it's been years since I've watched this and to watch it again is incredible. Happy to hear it was nominated for an Oscar!
@@Zenzuke I had forgotten so much of this short. It wasn't about Purgatory, but rather going through Heaven, Purgatory, Hell. It's amazing what the mind forgets, or rather, chooses to remember. I also totally forgot that the character was a soldier.
HELLGATE: LONDON WAS THE ISH BACK IN THE DAY!!! The cinematic breaks and intro was epic level!!! Love, Death + Robots will ALWAYS be a favorite. Wish there was merchandise though. Thanks CC for this and all you do. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
3DSMAX was probably the first "real" 3D software I tried to learn. I did pretty well, took a short course on it and even showed the teacher a new thing he didn't realize. But development on 3D moves so fast. One computer failure and that program went bye-bye. By the time I got a new version of it I didn't even recognize the thing. I can't even begin to fathom Blender and the other tiny 3D program I use, I'm constantly afraid the developer is going to add something I don't understand and wreck it for me. So every 3D artist that can keep up gets mad respect from me.
True, but on the other hand, think how many things are basically automated compared to what you were used to. Like the challenges Corridor members do in a week or even less for their videos, a decade ago you would need months if not more to accomplish.
-Talk about anything in the movies Now You See Me and Now You See Me Too. Talk about the first movie where they reveal the Paris-To-New York Teleporting Machine and how they did the effects, I have always been stumped by this for a long time. Talk about at the end of the first film where Dylan Rhodes is seen teleporting/mysterioiusly vanishing off screen when they do a slight camera pan at a certain angle. Also talk about the building that was having those wack asf visual effects happen to it while they were doing their last trick against the FBI. Talk about the beginning of the second film where they introduce Lula (Lizzy Caplan) and her entire trick on Daniel Atlas (Jessie Eisenberg) while breaking into his apartment. Also talk about the scene where they are introducing the horsemen at their first trick of the film and they run through the screens. Then talk about the CGI generated face when they are being framed before getting "transported to China". Talk about the massive visual effect from the second film, where they are breaking into the tech center and they have that massive card trick with all the security agents. Talk about the second movie where Tahddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman) disappears into a sarcophogus. Talk about all their tricks at the end of film where they start doing their best tricks theyve ever performed; pausing rain and rewinding it, jacks trick with the woman and two men, and etc. Talk about the flashback scene with the McKinney brothers and Woody Harrelson plays two people at the same time in the same scene, I bet it could be the same as the way that Seth Rogan filmed his dual parts in his movie These films are masterpieces with theyr CGI and VFX and I would love a video explaining them in depth, thatd be 100% amazing, unless I missed a video lol -Talk about the show Reacher, phenomal show and great FX. Talk aout the "zoom" forensics scene and maybe bring in an acutal forensics investigator to tell you how accurate it is The scene where the mother comforts her children in Reacher seems CG. Look at her hand, the childre seem like they are on a clean plate than the mother - Talk about all the FX in "Psych" during the flashbacks during shawns childhood or his "psychic" episodes, everything, who a whole analysis
Guys. Happy New Year to you! I congratulate you from the whole family and wish you to live and prosper and develop for many more years. I'm waiting for your videos every day. I ask you to release videos more often. Thank you from the bottom of my heart that you are.
LOVE Love Death & Robots!! Didn't know it was Miller. I was sure they were all different artists directing each tale. Beyond the Aquilla Rift is my all time favourite. Twist had my jaw hit the floor!
I remember back when David Fincher wanted to take on Heavy Metal, but for whatever reason, couldn't get it off the ground. Love Death and Robots reminds me a lot of Heavy Metal with its anthology and experimenting with different styles of animation.
I mean he didn't do all of them, he mentions in the interview that he gets talent from various studios but he oversees everything along with the woman who created KungFu Panda. I forget her name but they did an interview together about a year ago.
*Suggestion for a future "VFX Artists React to Bad & Great Video Game Cinematics!"* React to the cinematic intros of the Onimusha Trilogy. Onimusha Warlords, Onimusha 2, and Onimusha 3 had interesting cinematic openings for the early 2000s.
It’s so dope that they publish the original stories from the writers of the stories on love death and robot and all the money goes towards them. We love to see those stories on the screen but we MUST make sure the original creators are compensated if we want to keep getting these great stories. They deserve it.
Love seeing Tim again. Always a good time. You should check out the "life of a bullet" sequence from "Lord of War". The visuals aren't the best, so you have some things to talk about, but I really enjoy good story telling, and I think this has it.
The Corridor Digital version of this is 40 minutes long. If you haven't paid up for a subscription on their site, you guys are missing out on a TON of content.
Also shout out to my "Corridor Crew" you guys deserve the world of love.... Keep pushing, keep making and your loving fans would continue to always appreciated your hard work and dedication... Once again thank you. ♠️💯🔥🙌🏼♠️
I loved season 2...I think the reason why everyone hates it is because there's not much nudity, somewhat bloody but what I liked was the animation styles...even now the whole Universe of Love, Death & Robots is stunning & beautiful mixed with tragic story telling
Most people don't like season 2 because the stories are weak and forgettable, it has nothing to do with nudity. All seasons have incredible art style but the most memorable episodes are from season 1 and 3.
Season 2 felt like (and probably was) the cutting room floor of Season 1. There was maybe 2 good eps in season 2. It has nothing to do with a lack of skin showing.
@blackt109 it was a joke lol but they were probably throw away episodes, 1 & 3 have powerful stories but everytime I try telling people to check it out they always say "that weird sex show?" 😂
@KesSharann probably were old episodes for season 1 but they were like ehh...plus I think a real reason why they weren't so impacting was the pandemic.
My boy saying "is that sad" and the response to that is two different places and was beautiful. Really shows the respect for the work and respect for advancement.
You know what bothers me about the Drowned Giant? The smell would be absolutely atrocious! If your cats have ever left a dead thing somewhere out of a view for a few days, you know that punch in the face. Scale that up a couple million times? Dude that girl wouldn't be chilling in his ear rocking out to her pirated Sublime MP3s, she'd be f--king dead. Also had no idea about the book sales going completely to the original authors, that's sick.
well a few things. When the body did start to decay ppl did leave. It does take a bit for decomposition to set in. Secondly we have no idea whether the anatomy of this being is identical to humans in how it reacts to elements in our world that causes decomposition in the first place.
I love Tim and would love to see him and Blur take on "I have no mouth and I must scream" since his inspiration for Swarm was also a sci-fi mini-story.
Keep in mind this is the same guy who made the infamous behind the scenes of his latest movie where he describes EVERY CGI shot and states stunts are dangerous. He is a great VFX artist though
He breaksdown his Terminator movie where he grabs a marker and starts marking circles in areas where he kept saying the words CG, and says that stunts are dangerous. Filmento made fun of this video
Tim and his flipflops lmfao I love it. Hey Tim, it depends on the monologue. Like for example, the one from Anthony Hopkins in Westworld is just chef's kiss. But he's presenting a very deep interesting existential topic, he's presenting arguments, he's moving around within the discussion, asking questions... and he's Anthony Hopkins. I think great monologues are always the cherry on top if you make things around it for it to have a specific place and meaning to it. And personally for me, the giant one was one of the best and my favorite episodes of LDR because it "had nothing to tell" and yet so much. It's like on the surface, much like the giant, there's nothing, nothing good, interesting, or whatever is there will decompose and decay. But underneath you can see so much.
@@cuckoonut1208 that's not for me to tell. It fits itself in a lot of genres, one might like some aspects of it and might not like some. But they'll definitely have a different experience with this one. The VFX, cinematography and music is the best part of the movie. The action sequences are also great. The amazing BGMs add a lot to the experience.
@@shivaa__M The trailer looks like an Indian cg quality progress reel with popular actors cashing in. I must admit, the training has paid off compared to 10 years ago.
Great interview guys! Tim fucking rocks. I grew up on the early Blur short films made in 3d Studio Max. Thanks for having him. A little personal story about Tim and LDR: When S01 was out, I was inspired to create my own sci-fi anthology using all my self-produced short films. At the time I had 3 of those done and 4 in post-production (yeah, I know. dumb) I had enough footage to cut a trailer in the same style as the first LDR teaser. Then I guessed Tim's email at Blur and sent it to him so he can have a laugh. Usually when you do these things, you don't get any replies. But Tim did and he was super kind. He also told me I would get seriously f-ed by Netflix if I kept the title Love, Death + Robots: Indie Edition. Which, at the time, I fully expected to get in trouble for. My reasoning was to piggy back the popularity of the multi-million dollar show to get a couple of extra views. It's hard out there on TH-cam, kids. Corridor-level views aren't easy to get! Anyway, long story short, my anthology was eventually picked up by CBC here in Canada. It's called AUTOMATIC and it's only available on CBC Gem! No one watched it but it's still a happy ending. So yes, there's weirdass looking no-budget version of LDR that exists only in Canada made one guy. Tim's kind words really helped to keep pushing and finish this thing. Never give up, kids.
So what you're saying is I have Tim to thank for making one of my childhood favorite short stories into a show. Seriously, Sonnie's Edge was THE story I wanted made into a video going back to '99, I watched LDR blind with my mother and when I realized what the episode was from I squealed like a giddy schoolgirl.
Tim is such seems like such a grounded man who loves is craft. Thats the passion that I aspire to be. Also Corridor Crew should check out Stupendium's work, its primarily music videos which employee some great visual effects.
Please don’t let Tim think he’s boring! He’s been such a fun guest to watch
Well yeah, because they cut and edit him. The 40 minute website episode is also probably cut from the original footage
Ah, he was just messing
Maybe if he start wearking shoes and stop ruining franchises...
so true
not boring but a terrible terrible writer.

I love you guys and your reviews...😭😭😭 And also the people you bring as guests😭😔
Great episode, and Tim is one of the all time best guests you've ever had
Happy New Year to the series thats taught us all so much
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Tim Miller's view on being comfortable with the size and scope of Blur Studios. So many companies and corporations fall into the trap of pointless growth. I feel like so many ventures keep wanting to expand,without truly considering if there really is any point to that growth. So many times, it feels like that growth comes at the cost of the quality of their product as well as the intimacy and efficiency of their work environment.
Seeing the giant & hearing from Tim in this episode is what has guaranteed that I will go watch Love Death + Robots
Tim is such a dope ass human and definitely one of my favorite guests of yours …The amount of experience he has is insane ❤️✌️
I was today years old when I learned Blur made a Bionicle cinematic. My life is complete
Caught me by complete surprise too, now I need to comb the internet to watch the rest!
Rango has always blown me away every time I watch it. It'd be great to see you guys take a look at it.
Tim Miller is by far my favorite react to CGI guest.
Scott Adkins was amazing as well, but I have a soft spot for Giu's contributions to the React series.
Tim is an incredible guest. So much expertise and friendly insight.
Season 2 of LDR had some of the most incredible animation I've ever seen I didn't know there was a se 3 :0
S3 is amazing, jibaro being my all time favorite, on par with the witness ❤️
You know what would be really cool to see? Episode of Love, Death and Robots made by Corridor
I loved Tim Miller, would love to see him come back for some more great react episodes.
Also I would love to see more L,D+R episodes with other great animators.
Personally I would love to see Love, Death + Robots have more episodes per season, like Season 1, but I don't know how much work goes into that.
Listening to a industry professional talk about what they love doing will NEVER be boring
Niko rocking the Carpenter Brut shirt let's goo
This guy looks like the happiest man in the industry. And it shows in works by his team. I, for one, know one person who used to be my classmate who in 00s got so inspired by Blur's CGI videogame trailers that decided to become a 3D artist.
I remember playing FF7 as a kid thinking I can't wait until game play looks as good as game cinematic shots. They have blown pass that goal post.
Tim is honestly one of the coolest guests I’ve seen on this show. Always fun to see him featured
What a great way to end the year. Tim is a great guest
This was a great interview, and Tim is a great guest. I do take one issue with something he said, when discussing the story behind "The Swarm". He said that people don't want to hear monologuing, but I think that depends on what the story is. "My Dinner with Andre" is a movie that is just two guys having a conversation over dinner. It's 100% dialogue, and it's fascinating. I think what matters most is what the story actually IS, and how it's presented to the audience.
I'd be interested to hear your takes on some early works by Monte Oum, like Haloid or Dead Fantasy. The dedication and time that one guy put into those has always been mind-blowing to me.
Man I feel like I gotta sign up to the website just because I love LDR so much and want to hear Tims perspective on all of it. What a cool guy.
So much passion I am glad I watch your stuff. The reaction videos especially. Happy new Year corridor crew!
Tim is the absolutely GOAT guest…. And you guys always have fantastic guests, so that’s really saying something. Absolutely amazing series ❤❤
Sunny's Revenge is still my favorite short from LDR. My 2nd favorite would probably be Mason's Rats, idk why but I found that one funny & entertaining. Poor Susan (Mason's Cat) 😿
Tim and the Blur team are absolute legends. I had no idea they were the masterminds behind the beautiful CG in so many IPs I love.
*Y'all should do **_"The best way to cross the river. It's never been this easy"_** from "Cherry 2000" (1987), for great stunts.*
Me and my Wife watched the 3rd season yesterday, waiting for the New Year, and I come on TH-cam the next day to find out Corridor did a VFX Artists React with Tim Miller hours prior to watching the season. The timing is insane, I love it. Also, Swarm was my absolute favorite, I loved the ending. It was a great way to 'uno reverse' the whole subplot, and I would pay good money to have it expanded into a full series.
So glad you guys showed a second of Rockfish by Blur. It’s one of the first animated shorts I watched and it’s one of the few I always think about and have a hard time finding online. Another one is a claymation-style animation called Gray (Grey) and it’s about purgatory. Unsure if it’s by Blur though, I def knew Rockfish was by Blur.
Grey is by Ruairi Robinson, and it was nominated for the Oscars.
@@Zenzuke Legend! Looks like I was a little off on the title, "Fifty Percent Grey". I appreciate this so muchg, it's been years since I've watched this and to watch it again is incredible. Happy to hear it was nominated for an Oscar!
@@Zenzuke I had forgotten so much of this short. It wasn't about Purgatory, but rather going through Heaven, Purgatory, Hell. It's amazing what the mind forgets, or rather, chooses to remember. I also totally forgot that the character was a soldier.
HELLGATE: LONDON WAS THE ISH BACK IN THE DAY!!! The cinematic breaks and intro was epic level!!! Love, Death + Robots will ALWAYS be a favorite. Wish there was merchandise though. Thanks CC for this and all you do.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
3DSMAX was probably the first "real" 3D software I tried to learn. I did pretty well, took a short course on it and even showed the teacher a new thing he didn't realize. But development on 3D moves so fast. One computer failure and that program went bye-bye. By the time I got a new version of it I didn't even recognize the thing. I can't even begin to fathom Blender and the other tiny 3D program I use, I'm constantly afraid the developer is going to add something I don't understand and wreck it for me. So every 3D artist that can keep up gets mad respect from me.
Blender changes quickly too. Even their own documentation doesn't keep up.
@@chaos.corner Blender changes quickly, just remember that a ton of it is moved by the typical driver of said changes: Rule 34.
True, but on the other hand, think how many things are basically automated compared to what you were used to. Like the challenges Corridor members do in a week or even less for their videos, a decade ago you would need months if not more to accomplish.
Just binge watched season 3 of Love Death and Robots. Excellent stuff! Thanks for pointing it at me!
Would love to have you guys take a look at Helblade: Senua's Sacrifice . . . and the gameplay trailer for Senua's Sacrifice 2.
-Talk about anything in the movies Now You See Me and Now You See Me Too.
Talk about the first movie where they reveal the Paris-To-New York Teleporting Machine and how they did the effects, I have always been stumped by this for a long time.
Talk about at the end of the first film where Dylan Rhodes is seen teleporting/mysterioiusly vanishing off screen when they do a slight camera pan at a certain angle. Also talk about the building that was having those wack asf visual effects happen to it while they were doing their last trick against the FBI.
Talk about the beginning of the second film where they introduce Lula (Lizzy Caplan) and her entire trick on Daniel Atlas (Jessie Eisenberg) while breaking into his apartment. Also talk about the scene where they are introducing the horsemen at their first trick of the film and they run through the screens. Then talk about the CGI generated face when they are being framed before getting "transported to China".
Talk about the massive visual effect from the second film, where they are breaking into the tech center and they have that massive card trick with all the security agents.
Talk about the second movie where Tahddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman) disappears into a sarcophogus.
Talk about all their tricks at the end of film where they start doing their best tricks theyve ever performed; pausing rain and rewinding it, jacks trick with the woman and two men, and etc.
Talk about the flashback scene with the McKinney brothers and Woody Harrelson plays two people at the same time in the same scene, I bet it could be the same as the way that Seth Rogan filmed his dual parts in his movie
These films are masterpieces with theyr CGI and VFX and I would love a video explaining them in depth, thatd be 100% amazing, unless I missed a video lol
-Talk about the show Reacher, phenomal show and great FX. Talk aout the "zoom" forensics scene and maybe bring in an acutal forensics investigator to tell you how accurate it is
The scene where the mother comforts her children in Reacher seems CG. Look at her hand, the childre seem like they are on a clean plate than the mother
- Talk about all the FX in "Psych" during the flashbacks during shawns childhood or his "psychic" episodes, everything, who a whole analysis
I can't stop looking at his flipflop and how close it is to our hosts
Not everybody will understand but I understand
Too close for comfort.
I didn’t notice it until I read this comment
every dad wear flipflop, its a must
Guys. Happy New Year to you! I congratulate you from the whole family and wish you to live and prosper and develop for many more years. I'm waiting for your videos every day. I ask you to release videos more often. Thank you from the bottom of my heart that you are.
LOVE Love Death & Robots!!
Didn't know it was Miller. I was sure they were all different artists directing each tale.
Beyond the Aquilla Rift is my all time favourite. Twist had my jaw hit the floor!
I remember back when David Fincher wanted to take on Heavy Metal, but for whatever reason, couldn't get it off the ground.
Love Death and Robots reminds me a lot of Heavy Metal with its anthology and experimenting with different styles of animation.
I mean he didn't do all of them, he mentions in the interview that he gets talent from various studios but he oversees everything along with the woman who created KungFu Panda. I forget her name but they did an interview together about a year ago.
Yall gotta make more long form versions of this. People will watch. Especially with a guest like this.
*Suggestion for a future "VFX Artists React to Bad & Great Video Game Cinematics!"*
React to the cinematic intros of the Onimusha Trilogy. Onimusha Warlords, Onimusha 2, and Onimusha 3 had interesting cinematic openings for the early 2000s.
So much of the dialogue from the (damn unskippable) Onimusha 2 cutscenes is seared into my memory.
It’s so dope that they publish the original stories from the writers of the stories on love death and robot and all the money goes towards them. We love to see those stories on the screen but we MUST make sure the original creators are compensated if we want to keep getting these great stories. They deserve it.
So great! You guys need to look at the Star Wars old republic cinematic
Love seeing Tim again. Always a good time. You should check out the "life of a bullet" sequence from "Lord of War". The visuals aren't the best, so you have some things to talk about, but I really enjoy good story telling, and I think this has it.
The Corridor Digital version of this is 40 minutes long. If you haven't paid up for a subscription on their site, you guys are missing out on a TON of content.
Also shout out to my "Corridor Crew" you guys deserve the world of love.... Keep pushing, keep making and your loving fans would continue to always appreciated your hard work and dedication... Once again thank you. ♠️💯🔥🙌🏼♠️
I loved season 2...I think the reason why everyone hates it is because there's not much nudity, somewhat bloody but what I liked was the animation styles...even now the whole Universe of Love, Death & Robots is stunning & beautiful mixed with tragic story telling
Most people don't like season 2 because the stories are weak and forgettable, it has nothing to do with nudity. All seasons have incredible art style but the most memorable episodes are from season 1 and 3.
Season 2 felt like (and probably was) the cutting room floor of Season 1. There was maybe 2 good eps in season 2. It has nothing to do with a lack of skin showing.
@blackt109 it was a joke lol but they were probably throw away episodes, 1 & 3 have powerful stories but everytime I try telling people to check it out they always say "that weird sex show?" 😂
@KesSharann probably were old episodes for season 1 but they were like ehh...plus I think a real reason why they weren't so impacting was the pandemic.
Plenty people like season 2. I try to not take trolls who are just concerned with nudity too seriously.
My boy saying "is that sad" and the response to that is two different places and was beautiful. Really shows the respect for the work and respect for advancement.
You know what bothers me about the Drowned Giant?
The smell would be absolutely atrocious! If your cats have ever left a dead thing somewhere out of a view for a few days, you know that punch in the face. Scale that up a couple million times?
Dude that girl wouldn't be chilling in his ear rocking out to her pirated Sublime MP3s, she'd be f--king dead.
Also had no idea about the book sales going completely to the original authors, that's sick.
First thing that came to mind was a big dead whale washing up. Thankfully they didn't show the corpse inflating with gas and exploding.
well a few things. When the body did start to decay ppl did leave. It does take a bit for decomposition to set in. Secondly we have no idea whether the anatomy of this being is identical to humans in how it reacts to elements in our world that causes decomposition in the first place.
I love Tim and would love to see him and Blur take on "I have no mouth and I must scream" since his inspiration for Swarm was also a sci-fi mini-story.
Always loved videogame cinematics. What are y'all's favorites?
Gears of war 3 cinematics
The intro to halo 4. Just when it came out it seemed so damn real.
Remastered halo 2
Onimusha 3 intro
the overwatch trailers. maybe visually its a bit too much like the game but overall theyre the most cinematic and have the best writing
These are always so wonderful to sit down and watch. Keep up the great work and keep them amazing guests coming!!
Keep in mind this is the same guy who made the infamous behind the scenes of his latest movie where he describes EVERY CGI shot and states stunts are dangerous.
He is a great VFX artist though
?
?
What are you referencing?
He breaksdown his Terminator movie where he grabs a marker and starts marking circles in areas where he kept saying the words CG, and says that stunts are dangerous. Filmento made fun of this video
@@DippingNoodlesWashHere stunts aren't dangerous? I don't get it
Tim and his flipflops lmfao I love it.
Hey Tim, it depends on the monologue. Like for example, the one from Anthony Hopkins in Westworld is just chef's kiss. But he's presenting a very deep interesting existential topic, he's presenting arguments, he's moving around within the discussion, asking questions... and he's Anthony Hopkins.
I think great monologues are always the cherry on top if you make things around it for it to have a specific place and meaning to it.
And personally for me, the giant one was one of the best and my favorite episodes of LDR because it "had nothing to tell" and yet so much. It's like on the surface, much like the giant, there's nothing, nothing good, interesting, or whatever is there will decompose and decay. But underneath you can see so much.
How you guys have still not reacted to Brahmastra's VFX and it's BTS is beyond me!
It's like the best VFX ever done in an Indian movie!
Is the movie good?
@@cuckoonut1208 that's not for me to tell. It fits itself in a lot of genres, one might like some aspects of it and might not like some. But they'll definitely have a different experience with this one.
The VFX, cinematography and music is the best part of the movie. The action sequences are also great.
The amazing BGMs add a lot to the experience.
@@cuckoonut1208 lemme know how you like it if and when you check it out!
@@shivaa__M The trailer looks like an Indian cg quality progress reel with popular actors cashing in. I must admit, the training has paid off compared to 10 years ago.
@@cuckoonut1208 yeah, the VFX in the trailer was kinda unfinished and looked a bit weird.
Please release the full 4 hours. I could listen to Tim talk all day.
Great interview guys! Tim fucking rocks. I grew up on the early Blur short films made in 3d Studio Max. Thanks for having him. A little personal story about Tim and LDR: When S01 was out, I was inspired to create my own sci-fi anthology using all my self-produced short films. At the time I had 3 of those done and 4 in post-production (yeah, I know. dumb) I had enough footage to cut a trailer in the same style as the first LDR teaser. Then I guessed Tim's email at Blur and sent it to him so he can have a laugh. Usually when you do these things, you don't get any replies. But Tim did and he was super kind. He also told me I would get seriously f-ed by Netflix if I kept the title Love, Death + Robots: Indie Edition. Which, at the time, I fully expected to get in trouble for. My reasoning was to piggy back the popularity of the multi-million dollar show to get a couple of extra views. It's hard out there on TH-cam, kids. Corridor-level views aren't easy to get! Anyway, long story short, my anthology was eventually picked up by CBC here in Canada. It's called AUTOMATIC and it's only available on CBC Gem! No one watched it but it's still a happy ending. So yes, there's weirdass looking no-budget version of LDR that exists only in Canada made one guy. Tim's kind words really helped to keep pushing and finish this thing. Never give up, kids.
So what you're saying is I have Tim to thank for making one of my childhood favorite short stories into a show. Seriously, Sonnie's Edge was THE story I wanted made into a video going back to '99, I watched LDR blind with my mother and when I realized what the episode was from I squealed like a giddy schoolgirl.
Happy new year my favorite VFX-Artists and the rest of this wonderful community! 🎉
Let me rewatch the last few years of videos before I make a suggestion. So many great episodes!
Tim Miller has such an amazing energy around him. The way he interacts with Wren and Niko... so cool!
tim seems so chill... he made like all my fav episodes of LD+R
Tim is such seems like such a grounded man who loves is craft. Thats the passion that I aspire to be. Also Corridor Crew should check out Stupendium's work, its primarily music videos which employee some great visual effects.
Tim is a great guest, and has worked on a lot of awesome stuff.
