I was thinking more Roadrunner Wile E Coyote dust cloud haha But I too think there needed to be a matching vector of dust especially since debris enveloped the star destroyer on all surfaces and angles.
It would, however, transfer a shitton of momentum to the debris, pretty much vaporizing it. It's a cool shot, but it kind of looks silly when you think about it. I'd prefer seeing some of the debris flying off, while some staying still.
I would love to know how they did the limb-less man in Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Meal Ticket. There's a scene where Liam Neeson is carrying the limb-less Harry Melling (who has all his limbs in real life) on his back up a staircase, which I can NOT figure out.
I love how you go into detail about how different visual effects are made. Have you heard of Warrior Nun? There is a scene in the beginning of S2E7 that would be awesome for you to analyze. The VFX was done by The Embassy. Thanks!
16:09 lol literally watching this video while i wait for a re-render to finish from a new render farm because the last farm i was using kept having this problem
Awesome review and analysis of these clips. Ya, funny with the verizon 5g commercial. Also, thats not what happens with lag. Thats more about bugs and glitches...or poor coding.
Theres a scene near the end of the Polar Express where the kids are in Santa's bag and the elves go to pull them out. One of the shots clearly shows an elf lifting an invisible child out of the bag
I'd be curious for you guys to check out the robot from the climax scene in Replicas with Keanu Reeves. Oh, and if you do, you might as well look at the helicopter in the opening scene.
I always get to the end of Reacts episodes thinking, "wait it's over..?", and then realise nearly 20 mins has elapsed. An absolute classic YT series, lads
@@davidstorrs Actually I think the reason they feel so short is because they're in that golden length of about 20 minutes. If it was 2 hours it would feel 2 hours I think.
You guys should look at Melies "A Trip to the Moon" (1902). It was the first movie to tell a story, use storyboards, as well as the first to use various visual and practical effects. This guy single-handedly created a generational leap in filmmaking
I like how Niko struggles to see the error while the others laugh at it, just like how the kid in the movie can’t hear the sleigh bells like everyone else until he b e l i e v e s.
It isn't based on the X-wing game, but more based on the X-wing novels by Michael A. Stackpole and Aaron Allston. It follows the adventures of Rogue Squadron post-Return of the Jedi, where Wedge is having to rebuild the squadron from scratch in order for the Alliance to have its hero squadron again. It is, honestly, a really great book series, and the adventures that they go on are pretty nuts. They even figure out a way for the Rebel Alliance to bust through Coruscant's defenses (primarily taking down the planetary shield generators). The super star destroyer that rose out of the cityscape was actually a high-security prison ship, which was designed to be able to bug out like that if the planet was ever taken. Unfortunately, the buildings above it were... very much inhabited, and basically, everyone in the area just got completely wrecked. Really goes to show how much the Empire cares about its citizens, right?!?
i think its so important that you guys point out that the star wars film isn't just 'one guy in his bedroom' the feeling of 'we'll they're doing that, so what's the point of me starting now?' can be overwhelming and im glad you guys can vouch for the little one man projects while still appreciating the work that studios (or even small teams of friends) can put in to make something truly incredible
Yee, anyone can learn to do it. Their mention of the Rebelway stuff for the Star Destroyer rising up out of the ice thing is just an example of how to learn. It takes dedication and a yearning to learn and apply it to your own artistic vision is how you start.
The sliding elf def feels like an old bug I ran into during my thesis project in 07, and that's related to old school Maya 7 and below. I had something around 100 soldiers instanced i,n using at the time, the wonky instance import tool, and every so often during render, one soldier didn't take the animation that was imported, but all 99 or so others, just fine, despite on the dope sheet, and graph, showing that there was indeed data animation. Probably something related to Maya's way of handling memory and maths.
The Star Wars fan film made me so insanely happy, just because it was so good. Also, the Super-Class SSD is the Lusankya, from the Michael Stackpole X-wing series.
"I think they probably saw that and were like, 'We gotta do that.'" Probably not, actually. X-Wing is a series of Star Wars books in addition to the game, and a plot point in one of them is a Super Star Destroyer, Lusankya, buried beneath the surface of Coruscant and used as a prison. In the climax, an X-wing pilot escapes from the prison, so the villain breaks through the city with Lusankya to get away before he can lead New Republic forces back to it.
That's probably the in-universe reason for using Coruscant, but them choosing to recreate that in a 3d film wouldn't have been possible if they didn't see the sim that showed how it would work. You're misunderstanding what they mean by inspiration. If they hadn't seen the sim, the whole film might've been about some other place in the SW universe.
2:03 Just as a bit of trivia, flying through the logo is almost certainly a reference to the original X-Wing flight sim from the early 90s, which did roughly the same thing with its logo.
I think Ami Yamato would make a good guest for this show; she seems to know a lot about VFX, you know, with the way she edits herself into movie scenes and stuff. You guys should invite her; she said she'd be down for it!
For the next Animators React, you could talk about TIE fighter, another huge Star Wars fan project : 7 minutes of intense spaceship battle, animated in the style of 80's animes, done by one guy over 4 years of work in his free time. And there's a lot to talk about regarding the way he sometimes made his life simpler by using 3D to animate ships and helmets, but did it in a clever enough way to make it blend perfectly with the 2d footage.
@@LordJagd idk anything about gundam, or really even vintage japanese animation techniques and workflows. Well actually on that channel of the guy who made that tie fighter fan short OP is mentioning, he has a video about achieving that style and an actual animator from that period commented on some things about that. But even without computers they could have still used actual reference footage, whether turntable&posing, stop motion, and/or rotoscoping for complex mechanical objects like a gundam.
I'm so glad you guys covered Polar Express again😊 Ive been studying this movie for ages cos I find it so fascinating. There are actually quite a few glitches in Polar Express. Sometimes the characters "twitch" slightly as a result of noisy data being applied to the rigs/blending between performance capture beats. In the ice scene during the first closeup of the ice breaking, some of the ice particles remain static while the large chunks underneath move- most likely misjudged timing when that particular sim was baked. There's also a scene where the lonely boy finds his present. In the shot where the camera pans over to the label on it, the boy has no performance capture data applied to him, so he just sits still like a statue. Hope that helps🤟
Hey Corridor Crew! It really is just one guy who made all of the X-Wing film!! And he spent YEARS on it, working just from his own computer at home! (Though his friends did help with the acting. 😁)
And again.. awesome video!!! Have you guys ever reacted to 'Loving Vincent'? An hand painted movie with oil paint in Van Gogh's style, absolutely beautiful movie!
My moment to shine has finally come, I actually found a glitch in Polar Express before this video came out! Okay so near the end of the movie when the elves are helping the kids out of Santa's sack, the shot pans back and they didn't render the kids in that shot so you just see elves miming the actions of helping someone out of the sack.
you guys should also take a look at the expanse scene where the guys tries entering the ring at high speed for the first time. It goes along with what you were saying about what would happen to the human body experiencing rapid changes in speed.
It would be AMAZING if you could comment the Teleportation fight scene from Warrior Nun 2x01 (starts at the 38:00 mark in the episode). Another cool VFX scene from Warrior Nun is in 2x08, starts at around 41:40.
Hey I have some suggestions! You guys should explore the special effects of movies that combine puppetry with computer-generated effects. Movies like Isle of the dogs by Wes Anderson, or The neverending story, or the labyrinth with David Bowie, maybe even short circuit with the robot puppets!
I'm like 90% sure they've covered Laika's work in the past, like Kubo & The Two Strings. Although I couldn't begin to tell you what episode. Has anyone ever made an episode guide?
Last VFX artist React, I suggested that you look at JUNG_E, the very recent Korean movie. I was very impressed by their effects. It wasn't the action pack movie I thought of from the trailer, more of a psychological thriller. Good movie and good effects from studios we never hear about.
The X-Wing clip adapts something from the old X-Wing Books from the pre Disney Era. The thing with the Super Star Destroyer is from the Book "Krytos Trap."
I have a couple of suggestions for things you can look at and they're quite different. Futureworld (1976) has a shot containing some very early CG shown on a computer. The other thing is music videos; there's a lot going on in Falling in Reverse's "Watch the World Burn", and maybe you have some takes on some of the new Rammstein videos, Zeit, Adieu, etc. They've come a long way from Benzin.
I'd love for you guys to check out the Japanese animated music video "Maho No Uta" by PEOPLE 1 in a future episode of Animators React! It has some incredible satisfying realistic human motion in it and I have no clue how they did it.
That battle is also lifted straight out of the old Rogue Squadron book series, with the Super Star Destroyer rising out of the city, so it’s based on what used to be canon.
If you think the polar express part is good then you'll like a scene from Star Wars the Clone Wars, Season 4 episode 7 at 16:30 where they just forgot to animate one of the troopers lol.
There’s an AMAZING teleportation scene at the end of S2 E1 of Warrior Nun that was done on a very small budget! It’d be so cool if you guys could react to it!!
Please react to the show Fleishman is in Trouble on Hulu. They use de-aging technology on multiple characters, and it’s interesting how good it looks on Jesse Eisenburg (because of how much footage they have of him) vs other characters.
I'm glad you guys got a chance to review the Star Wars fan film. I was blown away the first time I watched it, and wished Disney would do something similar with the Rogue Squadron IP.
I’d love to see vfx and/or stuntmen react to old Akira Kurosawa stuff. Throne of Blood’s ending, the arrow gags and sword fights in so many of his movies, the castle burning (and battles) in Ran. Some of the best pre-cg stuff ever is in old samurai films and it flys under the radar (plus it would be a good excuse to talk about how it influenced Star Wars, lol)
The X-Wing short is based, in part on the X-Wing novels by Michael Stackpole, in particular, when the New Republic captures Coruscant, and the SSD Luskanya launches and escapes.
I really liked the inclusion of the X wings fan film, the big budget Marvel, Disney stuff is known by mostly everyone, but I find interesting videos from small relatively unknown creators to be far more interesting, like the Astartes videos that Corridor introduced me to, which I liked despite never being a warhammer 40K fan. I also remember a old Corridor video where they watched a bunch of youtube videos that they liked at the end of the year. I hope you guys turn this into it's own series, where you bring videos that those of us not in the industry might not even know of.
Hey when you get the chance, maybe for your 100 you can react to Warrior Nun!! Not even a tenth of a Marvel movie budget but still has a quality that sometimes surpasses it.
Have you guys ever watched Mario Warfare and/or Kung Fury? They are 2015 fan made TH-cam movies. Even David Hasselhoff did a music video called 'True Survivor' for Kung Fury. It would be awesome to see your thoughts about them. Thank you.
With all the people ragging on Polar Express, while it was my childhood, I’m curious as to what you guys think about it. It was really huge that it was motion capture, and it was probably a landmark movie for that kinda technology. But I’ll let the experts talk!
I seem to remember seeing them talk about it before. It may just have been mentioned in a different reaction so maybe it's not showing up in search. Or maybe I'm wrong.
What is the game they are showing at 3:52 ? That does not look like any of the old X-Wing computer games, even X-Wing: Alliance that I can tell... being third person, it looks more like one of the Rogue Squadron games, but I do not think it is one of those either. Is it like an arcade version of an X-Wing game?
RECOMMENDATION: There's a plane crash in the new 'The Last Of Us' which you need to watch! I had a replay it. It was that good! I think it's the sound design that made it stand out. *chefs kiss* (Episode 1, about 28 mins in)
dropping a suggestion for a movie to talk about. there is this a little bit older (then polar express) movie. from 2001: "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within". Its a box office bomb, but was praised for its characters realism :)
Its always fun to see the OG boys, and share new stuff that comes out looking so photo-real! Of course as well looking at some classics. I don't know if anyone covered or went over of how the VFX in the GOTG: Christmas special with the space-dog cosmo. Seriously, it looks so real I don't know if it is or isn't. it would be awesome to see how simple or complex of how it was done!
Star Wars book Spoilers I'm pretty sure that scene of the SSD rising out of the cityscape was inspired by a scene in one of the Rogue Squadron novels where the SSD Lusankya did the exact same thing after the Rogue Squadron pilot Corran Horn escaped from it.
The polar express is one of my favorite movies of all time and I personally think the animation holds up really well. I’m glad you’re finally taking a look at it
Definitely one of my fav Christmas movies as well, yeah the animation is wonky at times but doesn't take away from the wholesome and emotion of the movie
Now I'm not a 'real gamer' by any means, but question: Would poor internet bandwidth actually cause glitches like seen in that Verizon ad? To me, they seem to be actual in-game build glitches as opposed to a game chugging on slow speeds? Feels like a weird angle for an internet provider...
CHECK OUT “Valerian city of a thousand planets” THIS MOVIE GOT A BUG BUDGET BUT JUST FLOPPED, ITS A 2nd STARWARS (I think that’s what they were going for) but the VFX are something I’d like to hear you guys talk about , movie just kinda sucks.
Return to Oz would be so interesting to look at. It has so many things going on. Like emotive heads with no bodies, stop motion, puppets and so many other things
If we are talking about fan animation or "Fan Film" then they need to absolutely check out the absolutely gorgeous animations done by Densle. He is amazing! His animal crossing animations straight up should belong in a movie. Like no joke!
I was watching the Burbs with Tom Hanks a couple weeks ago. In the title sequence they show the Universal logo with the Earth spinning and then the camera zooms in slowly all the way to the Cul de sac, it seems seamless. How did they do this back in 89'?
You guys should go over Call of Duty MW2’s cgi scenes. Specifically the one with Graves betraying everyone. The subtle movements of his face and mouth are insane
VFX Artist React Suggestion Scene: The one-wheeled Motorcycle chase sequence from the 2012 movie titled "Lockout" starring Guy Pearce. I think it's a case of where one special effects scene can take the quality of the overall film down a notch.
You guys are the gods of muzzle flash. I would love for you guys to look at World War Z's scene where the lady is firing her pistol while in the plane. Look at the muzzle flash on that gun. Like a lot of the movie's rifle muzzle flash are fine but this one.
While the people who designed the glitches in that Verizon ad may understand the types of glitches that appear in games, its pretty clear that Verizon doesn't understand WHY glitches actually occur.
Warp speed would NOT break anyone’s neck. Warp drives work (in theory) by warping space time. That means you are actually NOT accelerating through space, but you are creating a bubble of spacetime around you that is accelerating.
The reason the debris doesn't go with the ship is because hyperspace is not super speed. It is an entirely separate dimension that functions like the nether for travel.
And at 5:24 Wren is saying replace those blocks. But what it looks like is really happening is some kind of plugin is being used to place greebles along the simple surface geometry to add alot of detail. It makes the system sound a bit over complicated. But the reality is normally modelling a basic aesthetically pleasing surface. Hitting a button until the generation gives the desired look. (Unless you are making your own generation tools of course) Which unfortunately... Hits alot closer to "Hit render and boom"
X-Wing is perplexing. It's like the animator heard about this iconic scene from the X-Wing series from their friend but didn't read it themselves. There were only two star destroyers to defend the planet because they had unleashed a virus on the non-humans and planned on abandon it to the New Republic. The books makes it clear that you CANNOT jump to hyperspace from a gravity well, something that was ignored here and in recent Star Wars movies. Still an impressive work and I'd hope to see more like it.
You missed the second glitch in that scene. 17:20 take a closer look at the boy in yellow shirt on the right in the train. There's really something wrong there.
Thanks for watching my fan film! Glad you guys enjoyed it. I've been a fan of this series so it's quite a pleasure to show up on it.
Is NobleEngine a 1 guy team or multiple guys team?
@@PitchforkStudios lol. "Multiple guys".
It's just me guys. 🫡
You did some fantastic work, I actually found your film through this video! Wish I'd caught it before!
@@nobleengine Is this based on X-Wing Book 3: The Krytos Trap?
Maybe that Star Destroyer debris was kind of like the tablecloth trick, where the ship went so fast it left the debris perfectly still haha.
That's what I thought, but the issue with that is there needs to be a layer of air or something between the layers there.
I was thinking more Roadrunner Wile E Coyote dust cloud haha
But I too think there needed to be a matching vector of dust especially since debris enveloped the star destroyer on all surfaces and angles.
It would, however, transfer a shitton of momentum to the debris, pretty much vaporizing it. It's a cool shot, but it kind of looks silly when you think about it. I'd prefer seeing some of the debris flying off, while some staying still.
that works because the table is completely flat
I was on the creative team for the Verizon ad, so cool that you guys gave it love!! I had a lot of fun on that project.
15:19 Thank you for using my video. Also it's awesome that you prefer to show blender tutorials for reference in all videos.
I would love to know how they did the limb-less man in Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Meal Ticket. There's a scene where Liam Neeson is carrying the limb-less Harry Melling (who has all his limbs in real life) on his back up a staircase, which I can NOT figure out.
The Lusankya coming out from the "ground" is from the X-Wing books.
I love how you go into detail about how different visual effects are made. Have you heard of Warrior Nun? There is a scene in the beginning of S2E7 that would be awesome for you to analyze. The VFX was done by The Embassy. Thanks!
Yes! Warrior Nun has fantastic VFX on a budget!
Doesn't even look like it's ON a budget!
16:50 - 😂 “The movie itself feels like one big glitch!” 😅
The X-wing novel series.
The Battle for Coruscant, and the Lusankya taking off from Imperial City.
watch the elves closest to the sleigh when they all sort of back flip away from the reindeer

I would have never caught the elf in The Polar Express
I was on the team that worked on the Verizon ad. It was so cool to hear you guys talk about it. I’m a huge fan!
T5
So does that mean you WERE inspired by Corridor's glitch videos? Just curious. Like they said, they don't own the concept.
I always get to the end of Reacts episodes thinking, "wait it's over..?", and then realise nearly 20 mins has elapsed. An absolute classic YT series, lads
Same here. I could happily watch a feature-film length version.

Hey, for a star destroyer to go that fast to leave the debris behind.. they had to hit ludicrous speed.
I have a couple of suggestions for things you can look at and they're quite different. Futureworld (1976) has a shot containing some very early CG shown on a computer. The other thing is music videos; there's a lot going on in Falling in Reverse's "Watch the World Burn", and maybe you have some takes on some of the new Rammstein videos, Zeit, Adieu, etc. They've come a long way from Benzin.

That battle is also lifted straight out of the old Rogue Squadron book series, with the Super Star Destroyer rising out of the city, so it’s based on what used to be canon.
@@TheUnmade that's crazy thanks for sharing
If you think the polar express part is good then you'll like a scene from Star Wars the Clone Wars, Season 4 episode 7 at 16:30 where they just forgot to animate one of the troopers lol.
There’s an AMAZING teleportation scene at the end of S2 E1 of Warrior Nun that was done on a very small budget! It’d be so cool if you guys could react to it!!
Yeah, that one is pretty awesome! So is the one at the beginning of S2E7.
Ooh I need to watch season 2. I expected that series to just be goofy nonsense. It surpassed my expectations.
Oh yes, please do this scene, it's really awesome !
@@zlobzor Right! If you were surprised by S1, then S2 will blow your mind.
@@zlobzor S2 is amazing!
Please take a look at the fountain by Darren aronofsky. They filmed microbes to looks like a supernova and it’s incredible.
Please react to the show Fleishman is in Trouble on Hulu. They use de-aging technology on multiple characters, and it’s interesting how good it looks on Jesse Eisenburg (because of how much footage they have of him) vs other characters.
I'm glad you guys got a chance to review the Star Wars fan film. I was blown away the first time I watched it, and wished Disney would do something similar with the Rogue Squadron IP.
Development Hell.
I’d love to see vfx and/or stuntmen react to old Akira Kurosawa stuff. Throne of Blood’s ending, the arrow gags and sword fights in so many of his movies, the castle burning (and battles) in Ran. Some of the best pre-cg stuff ever is in old samurai films and it flys under the radar (plus it would be a good excuse to talk about how it influenced Star Wars, lol)
3:12 Makes perfect sense, same phenomenon as pulling a tablecloth out from underneath a fully set table
As someone who works in retail sales at Verizon, seeing this 5G home ad was amazing. Showed all my co-workers it and had a good laugh at the analysis!
Oh arent you special.
Too bad the only thing good about Verizon 5G is the commercial.
TMO is dominating 5G coverage, bandwidth and speeds.
@@corydinsmore1117 yes he is
The X-Wing short is based, in part on the X-Wing novels by Michael Stackpole, in particular, when the New Republic captures Coruscant, and the SSD Luskanya launches and escapes.
Seeing the Lusankya rising out of the city was one of the things I had always needed in life, and holy shit did it not disappoint.
My name IS James! And I’ve been subscribed for years!
I really liked the inclusion of the X wings fan film, the big budget Marvel, Disney stuff is known by mostly everyone, but I find interesting videos from small relatively unknown creators to be far more interesting, like the Astartes videos that Corridor introduced me to, which I liked despite never being a warhammer 40K fan. I also remember a old Corridor video where they watched a bunch of youtube videos that they liked at the end of the year. I hope you guys turn this into it's own series, where you bring videos that those of us not in the industry might not even know of.
The elves were in a zero-indexed array. The animations were in a one-indexed array
Hey when you get the chance, maybe for your 100 you can react to Warrior Nun!! Not even a tenth of a Marvel movie budget but still has a quality that sometimes surpasses it.
YES!! I would love to see this too!!
This would cool to see!!
Have you guys ever watched Mario Warfare and/or Kung Fury? They are 2015 fan made TH-cam movies. Even David Hasselhoff did a music video called 'True Survivor' for Kung Fury.
It would be awesome to see your thoughts about them. Thank you.
With all the people ragging on Polar Express, while it was my childhood, I’m curious as to what you guys think about it. It was really huge that it was motion capture, and it was probably a landmark movie for that kinda technology. But I’ll let the experts talk!
I grew up watching it and I know people say the faces are uncanny but I don't get that feeling at all
I seem to remember seeing them talk about it before. It may just have been mentioned in a different reaction so maybe it's not showing up in search. Or maybe I'm wrong.
@@petergerdes1094 yeah they talked a little bit about it a few times
What is the game they are showing at 3:52 ? That does not look like any of the old X-Wing computer games, even X-Wing: Alliance that I can tell... being third person, it looks more like one of the Rogue Squadron games, but I do not think it is one of those either. Is it like an arcade version of an X-Wing game?
That fan based X-Wing short reminds me of something Disney would use on one of their rides at a Disney Park.
RECOMMENDATION: There's a plane crash in the new 'The Last Of Us' which you need to watch! I had a replay it. It was that good! I think it's the sound design that made it stand out. *chefs kiss* (Episode 1, about 28 mins in)
I can believe there almost reaching 100 Episodes VFX Artists React
Do the Netflix movie “You people” apparently the kiss at the end of the movie is CGI
yesss!
The longer time goes on, the more Sam and Niko look like brothers. I don’t know why that’s to wholesome to me.
dropping a suggestion for a movie to talk about. there is this a little bit older (then polar express) movie. from 2001: "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within". Its a box office bomb, but was praised for its characters realism :)
Its always fun to see the OG boys, and share new stuff that comes out looking so photo-real! Of course as well looking at some classics. I don't know if anyone covered or went over of how the VFX in the GOTG: Christmas special with the space-dog cosmo. Seriously, it looks so real I don't know if it is or isn't. it would be awesome to see how simple or complex of how it was done!
Star Wars book Spoilers
I'm pretty sure that scene of the SSD rising out of the cityscape was inspired by a scene in one of the Rogue Squadron novels where the SSD Lusankya did the exact same thing after the Rogue Squadron pilot Corran Horn escaped from it.
The polar express is one of my favorite movies of all time and I personally think the animation holds up really well. I’m glad you’re finally taking a look at it
Definitely one of my fav Christmas movies as well, yeah the animation is wonky at times but doesn't take away from the wholesome and emotion of the movie
They already took several looks at it!
Now I'm not a 'real gamer' by any means, but question: Would poor internet bandwidth actually cause glitches like seen in that Verizon ad? To me, they seem to be actual in-game build glitches as opposed to a game chugging on slow speeds? Feels like a weird angle for an internet provider...
0:25 yay Jordan!
CHECK OUT “Valerian city of a thousand planets” THIS MOVIE GOT A BUG BUDGET BUT JUST FLOPPED, ITS A 2nd STARWARS (I think that’s what they were going for) but the VFX are something I’d like to hear you guys talk about , movie just kinda sucks.
13:01 holy shit they got me
Return to Oz would be so interesting to look at. It has so many things going on. Like emotive heads with no bodies, stop motion, puppets and so many other things
If we are talking about fan animation or "Fan Film" then they need to absolutely check out the absolutely gorgeous animations done by Densle.
He is amazing! His animal crossing animations straight up should belong in a movie. Like no joke!
Nee
@@reno_reno_reno Bruh
I was watching the Burbs with Tom Hanks a couple weeks ago. In the title sequence they show the Universal logo with the Earth spinning and then the camera zooms in slowly all the way to the Cul de sac, it seems seamless. How did they do this back in 89'?
Love seeing these three on the couch again. ☺️ warms the heart
PLEASE can you watch THE DARK TIMES - Star Wars Short Film by Cinematic Captures!
You guys should go over Call of Duty MW2’s cgi scenes. Specifically the one with Graves betraying everyone. The subtle movements of his face and mouth are insane
Hey, here's something that would be really nice to have a loo, footage of the ABBA Voyage show, which is completely CGI.
VFX Artist React Suggestion Scene: The one-wheeled Motorcycle chase sequence from the 2012 movie titled "Lockout" starring Guy Pearce. I think it's a case of where one special effects scene can take the quality of the overall film down a notch.
You guys are the gods of muzzle flash. I would love for you guys to look at World War Z's scene where the lady is firing her pistol while in the plane. Look at the muzzle flash on that gun. Like a lot of the movie's rifle muzzle flash are fine but this one.
While the people who designed the glitches in that Verizon ad may understand the types of glitches that appear in games, its pretty clear that Verizon doesn't understand WHY glitches actually occur.
Warp speed would NOT break anyone’s neck. Warp drives work (in theory) by warping space time. That means you are actually NOT accelerating through space, but you are creating a bubble of spacetime around you that is accelerating.
With Dragonheart 4k and Dragonslayer 4k coming out. A ranking of film dragons would be cool.
Can you guys react to the netflix show Dance monsters? I'd like to know how the show was produced.
Please do a react to the Star Wars Tie Fighter fan made short film. Would be a great animators react as it’s very impressive looking.
Please do VFX react bollywood
Movies:
1) Pathaan
2) Tiger Zinda hai
I'm about 99% sure the second video they watch is just an early trailer for Sims 5.
9:49 anyone who plays 3rd person video games understands this camera movement. Wren sucks
The reason the debris doesn't go with the ship is because hyperspace is not super speed. It is an entirely separate dimension that functions like the nether for travel.
In tropic Thunder at the end there is a really weird bird eye view vfx shot of matthew mcconaughew running
And at 5:24 Wren is saying replace those blocks. But what it looks like is really happening is some kind of plugin is being used to place greebles along the simple surface geometry to add alot of detail. It makes the system sound a bit over complicated. But the reality is normally modelling a basic aesthetically pleasing surface. Hitting a button until the generation gives the desired look. (Unless you are making your own generation tools of course) Which unfortunately... Hits alot closer to "Hit render and boom"
X-Wing is perplexing. It's like the animator heard about this iconic scene from the X-Wing series from their friend but didn't read it themselves. There were only two star destroyers to defend the planet because they had unleashed a virus on the non-humans and planned on abandon it to the New Republic.
The books makes it clear that you CANNOT jump to hyperspace from a gravity well, something that was ignored here and in recent Star Wars movies. Still an impressive work and I'd hope to see more like it.
You missed the second glitch in that scene. 17:20 take a closer look at the boy in yellow shirt on the right in the train. There's really something wrong there.
Have they checked out any vfx for the Expanse yet? If not it'd be cool if they did.
