It would be a good segment for a stuntman reacts, if they didn't have one of them when they covered it before. Most of the big scenes in that movie was practically done, with real explosions and people doing those stunts.
it's also really easy to overdo. this type of lighting only really happens in real life when you have a light source extremely close to your skin (otherwise it becomes a silhouette).
@@ArthurNunes29 Pores and subsurface scattering are like the fundamental things that accidentally turn CG humans into uncanny valley nightmares. They're such such subtle things that nobody thinks of them, but they're so important.
Tig Notaro might be funny, but she delivered the dialog like a brick watching paint dry. I could tell the lines were supposed to be funny, but goodness it was awful. I really think Chris Delia would have delivered those lines much better. Absolutely hilarious guy.
The guests are incredible, but episodes with just niko/wren/clint/sam are just so much more technical and fun. Either way, thanks for the awesome breakdowns!
We still need a VFX Artists react to Tucker & Dale Vs. Evil. That movie has some of the best FX to date, and i think a lot of them are practical, not so much CGI.
Ultimate special effects film, Bram Stoker's Dracula. The whole thing is a love letter to classic film making techniques and anything the could do in camera they did. That miniature of the train with the shadow falling across the journal entry in the foreground blew me away as a kid and still ranks as one of my top 10 miniature shots. They used a combination of miniatures and bigatures to get that. Also Slice of Life, a Blade Runner fan film that looks super legit deserves a look. They used a lot of miniatures and projection for that.
Maybe I am remembering another channel but I think they’ve gone into all of that on a previous episode. Agreed though, that movie is incredible in terms of visual effects. Never seen slice of life, that sounds cool.
One thing to note: the reason that trailers for Final Fantasy games look so good is because Square Enix kept the studio that made Spirits Within open and they kept improving. So, the reason that those trailers look like they could be from movies is because they literally could.
Not completely accurate. Square Pictures, the studio that made Spirits Within, only ever made one other thing and that was the short "Final Flight of The Osiris" for The Animatrix. After that Square Pictures pretty much closed shop. Contrary to popular belief, the studio was not based in Japan, it was based in Hawaii and some of the people there may have moved on to work on (then) Square and thus on some of the Final Fantasy cutscenes of that era (post 2003). But Square Pictures as a studio very much ended probably not long after The Matrix project was done.
@@santishorts I raise your not quite with another not quite! Square Pictures was folded into consolidated subsidiary of Square called Visual Works. While it is almost certainly the case that the majority of original staff were fired, the technology investment was more what I was concerned with.
@@Toberumono Sure, they definitely kept the tech developments achieved in Hawaii and likely applied those even on other subsequent movie projects like Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children.
That’s my mother (more specifically my mother’s’ stunt double) getting dragged across the courtroom. Being there that day as a little kid was one of the ultimate highlights of my life
One of the coolest things about working background in Army of The Dead was being scanned to be used in the wide/panning shots! And Snyder was really nice to everyone too.
Terminator 2 has some amazing practical effects as well. Including hiring Linda Hamilton's twin sister to do a mirror shot with arnold while hamilton did some surgery with dummy arnold's skull. Also very interesting use of background projection throughout the film especially in the opening future scenes. I don't know if you covered it already on this channel but might be worth looking at.
Haha, reminds me of Tom Hanks in the godawful "Ladykillers" remake; A-lister: "I was thinking of playing the character like this." Director: "I... I don't think that's..." A-lister: "Sorry, I meant, I AM playing the character like this." Director: "yes sir."
Niko’s wrap up on structured effects shots delivering a more “theatrical” experience is so true. When do don’t have to commit, and the vfx aren’t as hard, the story and the effects aren’t as connected. (M Bay)

@@JustKrin ABC isn't cable, it's a major broadcast network. They have a bit more money than the average cable network, but even then, for a 'monster of the week' style TV show, you are absolutely correct how impressive it ended up being.
The real-time lighting in UE 5 is insanely good. I really want to see a Gears of war game made with this tech Snyder did a fantastic breakdown of how accurately he had to move the camera around to match the actor's replacement. That's some seriously great work
The real time lighting is great but the shadows are what blew me away. They just don't bother re-rendering shadows that don't change in any given frame and that's brilliance in efficiency. Shadows are essentially just the edge and a whatever changes beyond that. Leads to some super jank falloff especially on thinner shadows but I'm sure folks'll figure out ways to address that.
There's actually a number of teams working on improving shadows by combining raytracing and shadow mapping to form a hybrid solution, where only the edges are raytraced (to provide high detail and the potential for multiple layers of shadow casting objects) and the insides are shadow mapped.
not joking. Corridor should try to make a video with the 80s vfx technology at least once. we all know that they know many techniques. I hope corridor reads my comment.

Zack Snyder is a bad director. Somehow he has made Watchmen which is a great movie, but that was a fluke. In that movie he simply took the comic and made a shot for shot copy paste movie version of it. Everything else Snyder has done is crap.
Anyone else love how Niko says “Draygun” as much as I do? Haha “Draaaygon! That’s a good looking Draygun.” lol I don’t know what accent he has but I like it.
You should look at Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole on Animators react! It's directed by Zack Snyder and has amazing visuals which scream Zack. An amazing insite to when I director does an animated film.
I so want Zack to come and speak about that movie particularly because it wasn't included in Vanity Fair's "Zack Snyder Breaks Down His Career" while he talked about every other single one of his movies.
"the one" with Jet Lee has some great special effects for its time! Also two great Russian films that I thought you guys would appreciate are night watch and day watch also so pretty interesting special effects!
Ive always had an interest in special effects, but its always seemed like something out of reach and something I couldnt do without some fancy degree etc. But watching this channel has not only taught me a lot, but its made me feel as though its totally within reach and something I could totally do. Thank you Corridor Crew.
Corridor should react to UFO footage, so they can talk about if it could VFX or not. I think that could be a cool video, kinda caption dissolution style
I rewatch final fantasy spirits within every 2 or 3 years it was amazing as a child.. I would love to see you guys work your magic and see how you could bring it into the modern day..!
If you're looking for some great examples of practical meets CG married together to improve the storytelling experience, I'd totally recommend checking out the behind the scenes of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and The Mandalorian. Their work with puppets and giving them more life with computer enhancement is so SO inspiring!
That's what the Jurassic movies have done. They never went full CGI. They never Peter Jackson-ed their way into a Hobbitty mess. However, people are so polarized about the new movies' stories that the technology behind the scenes is kind of overlooked.
Talk about how weak wind is when characters are riding flying dragons or on an open cockpit, please! Like the nazgul dragon riders, for example. Even when riding a bicycle on a nice day you get blasted with air fairly strong. In Hollywood it seems you can be flying in the sky at mad speed and your hair and clothes will only catch a subtle breeze -_-
That shot in Two Towers where they reveal the Nazgul always felt super fake for that exact reason. You can so obviously tell that the actor is just like sitting on some stationary chair/prop lol.
Worst offender is the car chase in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. There's NO breeze at all. Everyone's hair is just still or straight down, haha. Looks weird as hell.
I think it's something of a joke trope at this point. (I remember watching an anime a while again with a group of characters literally standing on the wing of a flying aircraft (cuz anime) and one guy was just puffing away at a cigarette, with the smoke casually drifting away) That and, in a live-action film, fast moving air will distort the mic pickup as well as making acting difficult. It would end up being more of a stunt, but one the actor HAD to play in.
You should react to the CGI in the Robin Williams movie "What Dreams May Come". It used special effects in a really creative way that we haven't seen since then. I would love some insight into how they might have created those images.
I feel like if Zack Snyder saw this vid, he's the type of guy who would actually make the effort to make a vid with them. He's been on plenty of other TH-camrs vids, who have a much smaller subscriber base.
Hey Wren, what about checking out some of the practical effects of the silent era of film. My favourite is from The General a Buster Keaton film, where he sits on the front of a moving steam train and throws a railway sleeper at another sleeper that would de rail the train. Blows my mind everytime
I was always wondering what is wrong with king kong (2005) running from dinosaurs scene (somewhere between 1:20-1:26), its great but theres something wrong with compositing live action footage to rendered scene, looks like live action has wrong movement and scaling when they appear to run 'inside' rendered scene 3d render looks like flat screen around actors. At some point I even thought it was intentional as a kind of homage to old cinema effects (back projection).
@@johnsensebe3153 Especially considering they had just the one and had to put it back together overnight for a retake of the airlock shot. Any reasonable shoot would have had a stunt model but they just didn't have the time and money and had to use the hero which fell through the "starfield" blanket underneath & busted on the concrete below.
The seamless swaps during the sequence between full size and miniature is really tremendous, and not only speaks to the skill in fabrication and direction, but editing and sound effects..
Union of Salvation has the best cannon scene in the world. Its a Russian film and the scene has a great mix of cgi, practical, and amazing sound design. If you have 5 minutes look up grapeshot scene on TH-cam you will not be disappointed.
I gave up after a year of asking, but decided to come back. Someday someone will notice me! I believe a single voice has a chance: SPIDERMAN 3: The Birth of Sandman Scene
Or Advent Children! Although their character models where anime designed (based off the original characters of course) as aposed to the photo realism of Spirits Within and Kingsglave.
Try looking at the original gojira. The “suitmation” process was really genius of Eiji Tsuburaya to think of, and it was accomplished best in that original film.
Please do a Pirates of the Caribbean special!!! There are so many interesting shots and character design you could make an entire video on Pirates of the Caribbean!!!
@@Niall487 Not sure if it's the Mandela Effect talking, but an update on the photorealistic assets, particle effects and a general scene breakdown for those episodes would work really well, especially since they were commissioned recent as compared to H2A.
It’s fun to see them venture into real-time graphics and actually struggle at first. It’s a totally different “ballgame” than offline rendering so to speak. No matter how talented you are, like them, everyone starts learning at one point
Nobody I know had ever heard of her before that movie, and they would have had to do the work regardless of who the replacement was, the point was that they wanted so bad to get rid of the previous actor!
You gotta react to the *last agni kai fight from ATLA.* It's so stunning! It also would be cool to see you react to the duel from "Potop", it's really good sword fight (tho technically it's sabers i think)
The film broke Netflix viewing records, and is about to be in the top 10 most viewed Netflix films. I'd say for Netflix atleast the money was well worth it.
Could you react to the INCREDIBLE practical effects in Peter Jackson's first film, Bad Taste? It was done on a shoe string budget and he was fully building scale models and prosthetics and doing explosions and crazy gore effects, just with a tiny team of his work friends
For SFX Artists react, I'd like to see either Chris Corbould (Inception, The Force Awakens, The Dark Knight, Casino Royale, Christopher Robin 2018) or Daniel Sudick (Iron Man 1 & 2, Infinity War, Endgame, A Quiet Place Part II, Furious 7, Crystal Skull, Mission: Impossible III, War of the Worlds) appear as guests on the show. :)
Hey, you should take a look at the visual effects of the "scary movie"s. The filmmakers reproduct a lot of famous scenes withe a much lower butget. It would be interesting if you talked about the different ways to aprouch effects in this context.
Their point was that it's so efficient that even computers on the more potatoish side of things will be capable of much more with it than with previous graphics engines.
The White Witches Ice palace as Edmund enters for the first time in Lion the witch and the wardrobe, they did it as more of a special effect thing than visual but the scattering of the light and the clarity is really neat.

Now if only the studios that can take advantage of it would also make games that aren't generic jank, that'd be great.

“Great Muppet Caper” - Ms. Piggy and Kermit biking in the park
“Darby O’Gili and the Little People” - big dance scene
They should do a whole puppets extra episode, including the Muppets with some puppet expert.
Anyone else love how Niko says “Draygun” as much as I do? Haha
“Draaaygon! That’s a good looking Draygun.” lol
I don’t know what accent he has but I like it.
You should look at Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole on Animators react! It's directed by Zack Snyder and has amazing visuals which scream Zack. An amazing insite to when I director does an animated film.
Zack Snyder is overhated.
That ocean/storm scene is one of my favourites of all time
I so want Zack to come and speak about that movie particularly because it wasn't included in Vanity Fair's
"Zack Snyder Breaks Down His Career" while he talked about every other single one of his movies.
If you look at Zack's movie and every other animated movie from that same year, it's embarrassing how good Zack is lol
Have they done "Love, Death+Robots?"
It's all CGI. Some of them are pretty photorealistic
also live action and mocap.
The Werewolf one was my favorite.
boosting
"And now... Back to the episode."
"And make sure to leave a comment below, bye!"
"the one" with Jet Lee has some great special effects for its time! Also two great Russian films that I thought you guys would appreciate are night watch and day watch also so pretty interesting special effects!
Ive always had an interest in special effects, but its always seemed like something out of reach and something I couldnt do without some fancy degree etc. But watching this channel has not only taught me a lot, but its made me feel as though its totally within reach and something I could totally do.
Thank you Corridor Crew.
"3 minutes ago..."
Fresh like always
Corridor should react to UFO footage, so they can talk about if it could VFX or not. I think that could be a cool video, kinda caption dissolution style
I’d love to see you guys review the Special Effects in “Dark City”. It’s an incredible movie with some crazy building warping effects.
Absolutely nobody:
Niko: Dreygan 🐉
5:56
Joss and WB: can't deal with this moustache
Snyder and Netflix: *O B S E R V E*
It’s Snyder and WB still.
Everyone else: Comments on special effects.
Niko: "Drayyyged"
I rewatch final fantasy spirits within every 2 or 3 years it was amazing as a child.. I would love to see you guys work your magic and see how you could bring it into the modern day..!
The love child of practical and CG effects in the 80’s and 90’s was perfection. I’d love to see new movies use this technology
If you're looking for some great examples of practical meets CG married together to improve the storytelling experience, I'd totally recommend checking out the behind the scenes of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and The Mandalorian. Their work with puppets and giving them more life with computer enhancement is so SO inspiring!
That's what the Jurassic movies have done. They never went full CGI. They never Peter Jackson-ed their way into a Hobbitty mess. However, people are so polarized about the new movies' stories that the technology behind the scenes is kind of overlooked.
Talk about how weak wind is when characters are riding flying dragons or on an open cockpit, please! Like the nazgul dragon riders, for example. Even when riding a bicycle on a nice day you get blasted with air fairly strong. In Hollywood it seems you can be flying in the sky at mad speed and your hair and clothes will only catch a subtle breeze -_-
That shot in Two Towers where they reveal the Nazgul always felt super fake for that exact reason. You can so obviously tell that the actor is just like sitting on some stationary chair/prop lol.
Worst offender is the car chase in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. There's NO breeze at all. Everyone's hair is just still or straight down, haha. Looks weird as hell.
@@samahsaadi839 Aren't most of them wearing hats or are behind the front window?
The ol' "Fighting on top of a train" from Archer.
I think it's something of a joke trope at this point. (I remember watching an anime a while again with a group of characters literally standing on the wing of a flying aircraft (cuz anime) and one guy was just puffing away at a cigarette, with the smoke casually drifting away)
That and, in a live-action film, fast moving air will distort the mic pickup as well as making acting difficult. It would end up being more of a stunt, but one the actor HAD to play in.
You should react to the CGI in the Robin Williams movie "What Dreams May Come". It used special effects in a really creative way that we haven't seen since then. I would love some insight into how they might have created those images.
great suggestion! i hope they do this!
Go corridor
Yeah, especially the sequence that looks like an impressionist painting come to life.
You should React to Loki interacting with Miss Minutes
They did! Unsure which episode...
I feel like if Zack Snyder saw this vid, he's the type of guy who would actually make the effort to make a vid with them. He's been on plenty of other TH-camrs vids, who have a much smaller subscriber base.
Yes! Please get him. I think he would have fun with you guys.
VFX artisits reacts ft. Zach Snyder..
How dope is that.
He seems like a cool dude. Shame he sucks ass at making movies.
@@whyequalswhat what was the point of making this comment?
For real. He’s done so many podcasts with small time youtubers
Have any one of you guys seen CWs super man and Lois? The VFX there actually look good for a tv show
Only for a TV show, nothing extra ordinary, watered down version from MOS.
@@anurag809088 Up
yeah the show that copies most of its shots😂😂
@@adiipurush1922 yeah almost as if MoS and Superman and Lois are both about superman.....
@@adiipurush1922 Yeah They are kinda copying. But that is so far better than CW other shows.
You guys should look at “terrified” cgi , it’s a Argentinian horror movie
that's a great scary movie
Hey Wren, what about checking out some of the practical effects of the silent era of film. My favourite is from The General a Buster Keaton film, where he sits on the front of a moving steam train and throws a railway sleeper at another sleeper that would de rail the train. Blows my mind everytime
They reacted to that shot in a Stuntmen React episode
@@andreaszollos6772 must have missed it!
Finally Corridor Crew reacts to Army Of The Dead! I literally requested for it. Thanks! You guys are awesome :)
"No computers"
A few minutes later
"The computer controlled the balloon"
well any hardware that can perform mathematical actions is often called a computer just in case you don't already know
I think they meant no computer animation. Things might be spliced together, but everything was actually recorded through a lens onto film.
Oh I know they meant CGI haha I'm just messing around
Some of the weirdest effects are in bill and Ted’s bogus journey. I’d love for you guys to check it out.
I was always wondering what is wrong with king kong (2005) running from dinosaurs scene (somewhere between 1:20-1:26), its great but theres something wrong with compositing live action footage to rendered scene, looks like live action has wrong movement and scaling when they appear to run 'inside' rendered scene 3d render looks like flat screen around actors. At some point I even thought it was intentional as a kind of homage to old cinema effects (back projection).
Special Effects: The fight between RIPLEY and the ALIEN QUEEN at the end of ALIENS. It's a master class in SFX.
That puppet is so convincing!
Most of the franchise has impressive SFX, would love if they broke it down
@@johnsensebe3153 Especially considering they had just the one and had to put it back together overnight for a retake of the airlock shot. Any reasonable shoot would have had a stunt model but they just didn't have the time and money and had to use the hero which fell through the "starfield" blanket underneath & busted on the concrete below.
The seamless swaps during the sequence between full size and miniature is really tremendous, and not only speaks to the skill in fabrication and direction, but editing and sound effects..
Day 6 of asking for: The scene in Mortal Engines where MEDUSA fires.
Or just all of mortal engines
You know, I'd love to see them re-release _FF: Spirits Within_ re-built with modern rendering.
@Frank Rauen Spirits Within was not a good movie.
@@fbi9490 *is a good movie
The insertion of Tig Notaro into Army of the Dead was SO COOL to see now that I’m learning more about VFX!
Union of Salvation has the best cannon scene in the world. Its a Russian film and the scene has a great mix of cgi, practical, and amazing sound design. If you have 5 minutes look up grapeshot scene on TH-cam you will not be disappointed.
I gave up after a year of asking, but decided to come back. Someday someone will notice me! I believe a single voice has a chance: SPIDERMAN 3: The Birth of Sandman Scene
Yes please!
this
That was great
As you mentioned "FF: Spirits Within", you might want to check "Kingsglaive: FF 15" too ;)
The animation just isn't the same
Indeed, it might be interesting to see how the approach and the techniques have changed, like hand animated vs mocap
Square Pictures got neutered by Sony. Had they not been shut down, the CGI realm today would be much different.
Or Advent Children! Although their character models where anime designed (based off the original characters of course) as aposed to the photo realism of Spirits Within and Kingsglave.
@@CitizenKen01 Agree!
I know absolutely nothing about creating visual effects and am not an artist but I'm obsessed with this channel lol
when you can you should look at "a Quiet Place Part 2" meteor scene, its nuts
Zack Snyder is the next step in Wren's evolution chain.
haha...true
Look at Brazil for practical effects. The dream scenes are incredible.
This whole episode was mind blowing from ghost busters to Tig in army of the Dead. I recently watched that movie and had no idea. Just wow!
Try looking at the original gojira. The “suitmation” process was really genius of Eiji Tsuburaya to think of, and it was accomplished best in that original film.
I second that
And considering that was done in postwar Japan with their resource problems and embargo.
@@lipstickzombie4981 yep. It’s just an impressive film overall.
Please do a Pirates of the Caribbean special!!! There are so many interesting shots and character design you could make an entire video on Pirates of the Caribbean!!!
Love Death and Robots VFX breakdown, especially episodes done by Blur Studios. They specialise in creating assets that look very life-like.
Was just about to suggest that lol
Didnt they do the halo 2 anniversary cut scenes?
@@Niall487 Not sure if it's the Mandela Effect talking, but an update on the photorealistic assets, particle effects and a general scene breakdown for those episodes would work really well, especially since they were commissioned recent as compared to H2A.
@@Niall487 Yes. They also did tons of trailer cinematic over the years, like for the Batman arkham franchise for instance.
I love this channel because I am completely uneducated in anything you guys are pros at. Learn something new in every video.
The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, Mad Max: Fury Road, and The Happytime Murders all had an interesting mix of Special and Visual effects.
It’s fun to see them venture into real-time graphics and actually struggle at first. It’s a totally different “ballgame” than offline rendering so to speak. No matter how talented you are, like them, everyone starts learning at one point
This is Tig's power they wanted her SO bad they were willing to do all that work to have her and you know what? very fair
Nobody I know had ever heard of her before that movie, and they would have had to do the work regardless of who the replacement was, the point was that they wanted so bad to get rid of the previous actor!
@@cenciende9401 I’m joking haha. I love Tig tho you should check out her comedy it’s hilarious
Would definitely like to see your takes on Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV
If you want special effects to pick apart, look no further than any Jim Henson movie.
The original TMNT trilogy!
@@WurvMan YESSSSSS
I love those movies
Backdraft has some great special effects, plus stunts.
You gotta react to the *last agni kai fight from ATLA.* It's so stunning!
It also would be cool to see you react to the duel from "Potop", it's really good sword fight (tho technically it's sabers i think)
Would love to see your reactions to the live action "Where the Wild Things Are" from 2009! It had some pretty amazing visuals.
Woke up, thinking. "Is there a new corridor video?"... Yes, yes there is 😎🙌
Same here
is this is gonna blow up?
Same
I’m literally about to go to bed, it’s 12:07 am lol
Its 9:46 pm here bruh
So stoked to see Spirit’s Within called out.
That Army of Dead is like next level of throwing money out of the window. Like Its cool, but seriously.
The constant digital depth of field makes the movie horrible to watch.
The film broke Netflix viewing records, and is about to be in the top 10 most viewed Netflix films.
I'd say for Netflix atleast the money was well worth it.
About Army of Dead, have not seen it yet, but why the actor replacement happened?
@@destru1235 the actor chris d'elia got multiple cases of sexual harassment and stuff so snyder fired his ass off
@@justiceleague-wo1zs Oh damn o.o I see.
Thanks for the reply!
The vfx in Oblivion are mad, especially the Bear scene! :0
Could you react to the INCREDIBLE practical effects in Peter Jackson's first film, Bad Taste? It was done on a shoe string budget and he was fully building scale models and prosthetics and doing explosions and crazy gore effects, just with a tiny team of his work friends
Or Dead Alive, that would rule.
For SFX Artists react, I'd like to see either Chris Corbould (Inception, The Force Awakens, The Dark Knight, Casino Royale, Christopher Robin 2018) or Daniel Sudick (Iron Man 1 & 2, Infinity War, Endgame, A Quiet Place Part II, Furious 7, Crystal Skull, Mission: Impossible III, War of the Worlds) appear as guests on the show. :)
Would be AMAZING!
Hey, you should take a look at the visual effects of the "scary movie"s. The filmmakers reproduct a lot of famous scenes withe a much lower butget. It would be interesting if you talked about the different ways to aprouch effects in this context.
Truly mind blowing what workflows were taken to complete the original Ghost Busters... Magical.
These were good, but it's about time you did Kylie Minogue's Come in to my World music video now.
You should react to Waterworld from 1995! Insane real effects used and how they have such a huge physical set on water!
"unreal engine 5 is the next step to the future of video games."
My potato PC : *I'm sorry what?*
FYI, Unreal 5 will run on anything, it just depends on what is actually being rendered.
Their point was that it's so efficient that even computers on the more potatoish side of things will be capable of much more with it than with previous graphics engines.
@@itsaUSBline Yea I know. I'm honestly a tiny bit skeptical because it feels too good to be true, if you know what I mean
The White Witches Ice palace as Edmund enters for the first time in Lion the witch and the wardrobe, they did it as more of a special effect thing than visual but the scattering of the light and the clarity is really neat.
