I heard "Master and Commander" and got so excited. That movie is fantastic. One of the most underrated movies of all time.
Its not underrated, its now actually celebrated. I'm sure people exist who dont like it, but I dont know an of them. And the fanbase grows with every decade that passes. Its one of those films I stop at and watch when it comes up on TV - again and again and again.
I'm angry Master and Commander didn't get a longer segment. Like I can't remember what is what from the making of the film, I would have loved a deeper dive covering it all so I could appreciate it more
@@GaniscolI agree that it's appreciated *NOW* but at the time it came out I don't know if it even managed to recoup its budget. I know it was supposed to be the first part of a series and the first one did poorly enough they cancelled the rest of them. I know it reviewed VERY well, but the audience didn't come out to see it. So maybe it's not underrated in the literal sense, as the ratings were great, but it's certainly underappreciated in its time.
Talking about Master and Commander. They shot a sequence at the Galápagos Islands, where the Doctor was looking for a rare bird. The landscape looked magnificent but such bird who indeed exists in the Galapagos it’s not found where they did the shot. And you can clearly see a wonky flightless cormorant just badly composed on a cliff. Which sounds funny and ironic considering all the trouble they through to make the movie look the way it did.
Lol I've suggested it so many times ♥️😂
The Loki spaghettification is such a simple effect at its core. It’s the crazy finesse they give it that makes it so wow
Haven't watched season 2 yet but Loki does not look like a Marvel project. I know it's a Marvel project but it does not look like it. It looks like something completely different
@AXCBER It's just like the way Doctor Strange is just another world of CGI, Marvel just has every element accross their movies and shows... kaleidoscope cg, hairy cg, mechanical cg, organism cg, human cg, alien cg, space cg, water cg, even literal magic cg... they do it all and they do it best imo
@Follow God:God loves you repent it will be worth it God bless you all💕💜♥️❤❤❤
I will disagree with them that it's all about so many of the teams coming together but honestly.. It was writing. Almost all of phase 4/5 has good effects it's just absolutely garbage writing I mean quantumania was his first goddamn screenplay that he wrote as they went, multiverse of madness was chucked together in a week, it's a joke haha
All the other teams may be on their A game but if it's in service of a terrible script none of it matters, but Loki actually had character, worldbuilding, room to breathe and not just boom boom flashy garbage
@@KaladinVegapunk Garbage take
that "old guy" is Udo Kier - veteran character actor - been in Andy Warhol's movies, almost always plays a really creepy guy. Plays "weird and unsettling" like nobody else.
Yeah! I know they meant no disrespect, but I was like, "Thats not just some old guy!"
Plus, he was in the cinematic classic, "Iron Sky" 😍👍
Americans
An Old guy then
He was amazing in Iron Sky The Coming Race playing… you know… a bad mustached prick 😅
Master and Commander is on of the most underrated movies of all time! It never even occurred to me that the shots weren’t just real. Amazing for 2003
VFX Artists React hits harder than Saturday morning cartoons
Not possible
It’s the new Saturday cartoons for us adults haha, I tune in every Saturday
Nah, maybe in the beginning, they are just boring and not that interesting, maybe there saving all the goof stuff behind the pay wall on there website witch is understandable
Facts
Sunday for us Aussies
One of my college professors was of the engineers who worked on the full scale ship for Master and Commander. He worked on the control systems for moving it around on the tank and told us a little about it in our controls class.
that "Old Guy" is the legendary Udo Kier! AKA YURI!!!!! Amongst other amazing roles!
He'll forever be Dragonetti to me. "You bore me!"
I was heavily confused by this comment, untill I realized you mean Yuri from C&C: Red Alert 2. Youth defining game for me, played the crap out of it.
I was the last target audience of Master and Commander when I first saw it in film class. A 16 year old girl who was big into anime, video games and cartoons.
And this film blew me away. I was so invested and so into it. I wanted a sequel immediately.
I can’t believe this series has lasted so long hope it continues for much longer too!!!
As long as there is CGI to react to, this series can thrive.
That 'random old guy' is actually legendary German actor Udo Kier ;) he starred in Ace Ventura and Michael Bays Armageddon.
And he is also in good films too!
(And a lot of real garbage)
I was just going to comment this! yes, c'mon Corridor, give respect to the name! over 220 movies, admittedly some are stinkers but he always _always_ brings a touch of class or gravitas no matter the movie
Blade
Dude, he is fkin Yuri from Red Alert.
@@TheAdatto Blade was what came to mind as well, the shot where they are burning up.
“Master and Commander” is a perfect example of great filmmaking and storytelling. This is also the best way to use visual effects to aid the storytelling, not guide it.
I wanna see those "wow" scenes tho.
You need to get the directors for Loki season 2 on the couch. Those guys are awesome.
“That old guy”
- Udo Kier has left the chat -
A colleague/mate of mine shot the plates shots for the storm scenes of master and commander.
They were filmed off the coast of Albany in southern Western Australia, an area known for wild winds and rough oceans. The harrowing conditions they shot in lead to some severe injuries and to this day my mate says this is one of the proudest moments of his career. There’s obviously much more to the story but it isn’t my story to tell and…I don’t remember much else…but it is always great revisiting this film and seeing the shots so well utilised!
It looks amazing. It's funny hearing them say a good director is whats needed for good effects and they show Loki where almost nothing is real and it looks good but also kind of meh, then they show a film from 2003 that looks wayyy better with some real direction.
Master and Commander is the greatest musket-and-cannon era movie and it is criminally underrated.
I'd say it's underseen, not underrated. Everyone who watches it thinks it's great (just about).
LOL it won - in 2004 Oscars, it won: Best Director, Best Picture, Best Sound Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, Best Production Design, Best Sound Mixing, Best Costume, Best Film Editing, Best Makeup and Costume. So it won 10 Oscars. It's not exactly forgotten or underrated.
@@ManchurianCounterweight It was nominated for 10, but only won Cinematography and Sound Editing. It opened #2 in the box office against 'Elf' and quickly dropped to #6 with 2 weeks. Given that Pirates of Caribbean came out the same year and has so many unnecessary sequels over the past 2 decades while Master and Commander had none, it is safe to say that it is underrated when it comes to general audiences.
@@ManchurianCounterweightit is very much a forgotten classic. When people talk about great movies and great VFX, I *never* hear mention of 'Master and Commander', but if you mention it, everyone goes "OMG, yes! That movie is amazing!" So it certainly isn't "underrated" in a literal sense, but it's certainly underappreciated/forgotten in the modern day.
I'm so glad it got the awards it did, because it deserved every one of them, and deserved the sequels that were planned. It's just a shame the audience didn't go out to see it. I actually think the timing was the biggest problem with that movie. If it came out today even as-is, it would be a HUGE hit. But in 2003 it's coming out at the wrong time, right alongside 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. Your audience gets to choose between 'Master and Commander' and 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. So of course M&C didn't draw the audience, they got their Swashbuckling in Pirates, and M&C is for a very different crowd. M&C is the better movie, but Pirates is the better family summer blockbuster.
Well I haven't seen it and this convinced me to make a note to see it soon, hope it's as good as everyone says it is. Thanks for the recommendation!
The brilliant thing about M&C is that the effects are amazing, but never draw attention to themselves. They just disappear into the film and become a part of it, and the viewer simply accepts what they're seeing as the real thing. It's a film first, story and characters, and the effects exist to support that, blending right into and supporting the story and the characters. One of my favorite movies of all time.
The old man's face in that CGI demo is Udo Kier, a German actor. He's been filming Frankenstein with Andy Warhol, he's the Mondführer Kortzfleisch in Iron Sky - and played many, many, MANY roles inbetween.
"Master and Commander" is incredible. If "LOTR: Return of the King" didn't exist back in 2003, I believe M&C would have swept at the 2004 Oscars instead. If you haven't seen the movie, please do yourself a favor, and check it out ASAP.
It won like 10 Oscars didn’t it?
@@AndrewDembouski 10 nominations, 2 oscar wins. It was the year when "Return of the King" won it all (it won what technical categories LOTR ROTK wasn't nominated for).
@@Se7nomIt also has a hobbit in it!
It looks amazing. It's funny hearing them say a good director is whats needed for good effects and they show Loki where almost nothing is real and it looks good but also kind of meh, then they show a film from 2003 that looks wayyy better with some real direction.
Master and Commander is one of the few films that really get close to actual cinematic perfection
Master and Commander is an awesome movie, I watched it not long after it came out and still love it now.
Also, it’s a story of two weevils.
Always choose the lesser of two weevils.
So rad! Love the shirt. Thanks for repping our stuff!
🦾🦾
The "old dude" is Udo Kier. He also played Yuri in the command and conquer game series.
Master & Commander: The Far Side of the World is my all time favorite film. It is so fantastic and the level of detail and accuracy in it is perplexing because you don't expect it from Hollyweird, especially today. The story, while fictional, is based on various historical events.
That's because its not from today. That was over 20 years ago when we still had some level of competence.
Labyrinth had the first ever attempt at a photo realistic CGI animal for its opening credits scene, they should react to that!
Master and Commander is such an underrated movie, and I can't share the feeling that we're not getting anything like it ever again. Such a beautiful movie.
@OldManYellsAtClouds Movies are not solely measured by the awards and nominations they get. How empty would my movie going experience be if I thought that was the bar.
@OldManYellsAtClouds That's, like, your opinion, man. Also, you don't get to tell me what movie I feel is underrated. And yes, it was your point that the movie was not underrated because it got nominated and won awards.
Love Master and Commander. I wish more film makers took Weir’s approach to history, authenticity, and story telling.
It's funny considering this is a very loose adaptation of historical novels, allegedly changing the American opponents to French to please American viewers and removing all female characters. It's still a very well-made movie, just thought that was interesting.
@@Teauma I know! It’s a complete work of fiction. He took real history into it. You really don’t have to embellish anything.
I remember seeing it in theaters in college and being bored to tears at the high drama and and almost comical seriousness.
Master and Commander is an amazing movie. So glad it got some late game recognition.
Master and Commander is one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time, there's just something about that movies thats just awe inspiring. a true masterpiece of a movie
Master and Commander is so good I'm convinced that's its a documentary and it was filmed during the story
Master and commander is a great movie, i never get tired of watching it.
6:16 Old guy??? thats Udo Kier, duuuuude!!!
Was about to say the same!
Thankfully someone else recognised him!
They don't know shit about movies.
Who?
@@kishimotodashoppee8632 ever seen blade? Johnny Mnemonic? Or countless others.
"The old Guy" is the german Actor Udo Kier
Loki season 2 was a triumph all around. mind blowing vfx and design, but all in service of the story. loved it.
That's the thing with "Marvel / Superhero Fatigue". The studios started to rely on the characters to get asses in seats and completely forgot to care about what those characters are going through. Winter Soldier is still a great, fun, super/spy flick. I'm not burned out on Marvel, I'm burned out their recent lazy/bad stories.
The story is kinda weak when you consider they build up Kang so much in late season 1, early season 2, only to then focus on a macguffin all season long. And the Kang threat kinda evaporates by the end. Some of it may be because Marvel was already giving themselves the chance to move away from Kang but it's pretty jarring.
Loki was a terrible, horrible show. They should've stopped after Endgame, seriously.
lol Loki looked great, sure, but the story was the weakest aspect BY FAR.
@@mrb2349You have terrible, horrible taste. Loki was excellent - both seasons.
Master and Commander is a perfect movie, never even thought of the VFX, was done so well you never notice it.
That "old Guy" is the actor Udo Kier ....
The person called "old guy" is Udo Kier.
Man I haven't had such a visceral reaction to VFX comparable to when watching that scene in Loki s2. The whole show was just so good and it really was topped off capturing that sort of existential doom.
When it first happened to one character I found it hilarious, but when everything in existence started turning into spaghetti in the last couple episodes it caught me off guard how uneasy I felt... Next level!
"This old guy" is actor Udo Kier.
"Master and Commander" is a great example of VFX being there to show a story and not the other way around, like in many movies where they write a story around a bunch of "cool VFX's shots". And it's impressive how despite being a historic movie, so it will be VFX's heavy, they still managed to make the VFX look subtle, as in they don't jump at you just because they could. They are made to serve the shots and not to impress the audience. Amazing movie.
Master and Commander has to be the best sounding moving i ever heard... its insane when the battles happen and all the sound effects on a surround system
“This old guy”? Show Udo some damn respect.
I'm also burnt out on comic book movies and shows but Loki Season 2 is definitely worth watching, and not just for the VFX. The VFX and visual design in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 is also really impressive.
The VFX of Loki 2 is amazing, but the season was very mediocre, IMHO.
@@yagelbar majors was really overdoing that character I found a lot of his stuff cringe inducing
No such thing as burnout. It's just an over saturated market so there's more misses out there, and there's the negativity bias as well as confirmation bias
Loki S2 is one of the first things from the MCU in a while that felt like it even had a script, and Loki season 1 was a complete trainwreck. I mean LS2 was making really subtle references to past lines and themes offhand, patched plotholes that honestly I wasn't even sure they noticed were plotholes, managed to nearly wrap up Kang given the circumstances, completed a pretty bloody solid arc with Loki by just straight pulling it out their ass, and got a full bloody creation myth to go along with it to boot.
Definitely did have it's weakpoints, but most of those were sort of inherited. (for instance Loki staying human/asguardian despite his illusiory magic supposedly being disabled) Of course it also had some weakpoints that definitely weren't inherited, like how they literally just replaced his powers with green glowly blasts. I mean that episode 2 chase *_finally_* let him be competent again and really played up that trickster and illusion magic, but then right afterwards they just completely forget about it again and go back to glowy hand waves.
Guardians 3 is the only Marvel movie to come out post-No Way Home that was actually well crafted. Kevin Feige could stand to take notes from Gunn.
Master and Commander is so good. After seeing the conversation about the weather and wave effects, I want to revisit the movie White Squall. By the way, we have one of the full size version of the HMS Surprise you can visit at our Maritime Museum in downtown San Diego.
That’s the preexisting replica (built in the 1970s) that the production company bought for the film and refitted to make it the HMS Surprise. They also had a full scale replica on gimbals for the interiors and top deck work which they set up on top of a cliff side in Baja California so they could get the ocean horizon view. The sailing version they kept at readiness so that when conditions were right they could sail it off into the ocean and get their shots. Unparalleled work.
They also recorded all new sound effects for the cannon hits and near misses, rather than using the old archive SFX everyone else uses.
I saw it when I visited San Diego! It was quite the surprise to find it at the museum!
Could do an entire episode on Master & Commander it’s insane how great it looks and holds up
I've been saying it in the comments of VFX artists react for years, but you could do an entire episode on Blade 2. There are beautiful shots, horrible PS2 game shots, and awesomely horrific shots. "The Good, Bad, and the Ugly VFX of Blade 2."
And so many techniques on display - early digi-doubles, prosthetics and puppets, projection mapping onto digital prostheses, digital makeup, full-cg shots. Just the whole bag of tricks - Guillermo del Toro having a ball with it and throwing everything at the wall.
@@LoveMakeShareTV 100%! Guillermo's commentary track offers alot of insights too! It's perfect.
@@tompollockjr144 Absolutely. The special features on that DVD are where about half my interest in VFX come from, it's so rich.
@@tompollockjr144The commentary for Blade 2 is one of my favorite commentaries. I love how Guillermo del Toro calls out things that are terrible.
@@TimJenningsVideo Definitely! He's a great director with a lot of fun information.
Master and Commander is such a great movie. It also has one of the most impressive examples of sound design that I've ever had the joy to experience. If only there was a great way to have sound designer be a "react" edition...
Oh man, I loved so much the final comments on dialing the visuals back and let the story sit on top.
That's exactly what destroyed "Dune" for me, and it was so hard to explain to people: like you think of visuals, of sound design, of how everything is greatfully composed,
but fully missing the story and involvement.
I enjoyed Dune, but I remember someone commenting that in a few quieter scenes here and there they should have let it be and pulled back the soundtrack entirely. The eerie, tense soundtrack almost never let up for one second.
"This Old Guy" is the famous actor Udo Kier...
Udo Kier has such a complex and expressive face. He really was a perfect choice for the OD teaser. Willem Dafoe would have worked, too.
"This old guy"..... is Udo Kier
It's amazing to see how different techniques, technologies and the blend of science and art, bring these cinematic experiences to life. Visual effects have indeed come a long way!
I can agree on being burnt out on MCU content these days (just because it has been time and time again with bad writing and everything feels disconnected sometimes) but for those who have watched Loki season 2, I'm sure we are all in agreement that you guys should watch it. It's really great, and wraps up Loki's storyline really well. It's far from perfect, but compared to most of the recent films and shows (I can't speak for Echo) it feels complete.
i'm starting to burn out on people claiming to be burnt out on MCU content
A big reason why this particular MCU project was so successful and relatively cheap is because they didn't go through any of the common yet extensive reshoots.
It was all directed perfectly from the story to the CGI. It took its time and was rewarded for it.
Thought season 1 sucked terribly, would you still recommend season 2?
I mean, no. If you thought s1 was terrible, why would s2 be any different. S2 is an immediate follow up to s1, so it could just be a drag for you. At best, I guess you can give episode 1 a shot and see where that takes you.
@@kingkarlito I feel you completely... until I actually got burnt out lmao
You should take a look at the Narnia movies. Especially the third one, for the morphing faces and the 'dry water' effects. Really cool.
There is a scene in “The Little Prince” (1974) where he walks around and back on a planet, Couldn’t figure out how they pulled it off! Would love to see you react
Sam is gonna need to start a public playlist if he's gonna keep wearing all of the dank metal T-shirt. The Zenith Passage rips
Please do react to "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.". Lots of robots, spaceships, time travel, gravitonium, Inhumans and of course more importantly Ghost Rider, Lola etc.
It's got quite some stuff to get its own episode.
That’s my favorite show
Imagine any modern Hollywood director saying "no, dial effects _down,_ story is more important"
Right, it's impossible!
And ironically games are all about story now, instead of gameplay 😢
So you think Martin Scorsese, Paul Thomas Anderson, David Fincher, Christopher Nolan, Denis Villeneuve and Quentin Tarantino, to mention a few, thinks that the effects are more important than the story? Really?
@@FabledGentleman Please explain how did you arrived at that fascinatingly random conclusion.
@@FabledGentlemanhave you seen The Irishman
@@DarthBiomech Your words man. impossible you said. I just proved you wrong. I can mention 50 more directors currently working in Hollywood if you like.
"this old guy" is Udo Kier
Hearts and prayers go out to all the roto artists out there. The real heroes.
My favorite Saturday morning TH-cam show :) I look forward to it every week!
I love ”Public Enemies” and have watched it multiple times and I have to say I never thought there were any vfx shots in the movie (other than the headshot at the end). The film was always very realistic and immersive to me.
Master and commander is simply amazing, top of the genre. And the books it’s based on are worth reading as Well.
So freaking fun, love these. Keep going!
Enjoyable show, you guys switch from banter to information very well. Fun to watch.
It'd be really awesome if you could take a look at the WoW "The War Within" Cinematic, it's looks so amazing.
The "CHARGE " Blender short would be awesome as well. As well as *Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia!* where you could do a comparison to the "live action" Lion King. Also at the end of second Chronicles of Narnia movie there's a big water creature, so it might be cool to see what you think about that.
The *last agni kai fight from ATLA* would be perfect for for the Animators React. It's so stunning!
And for stuntmen react It would be cool to see you react to the duel from "Potop", it's really good sword fight
I appreciate ya'll talking about Loki. Like you said, people are so jaded about Marvel stuff these days, but Marvel is still putting some gorgeous work out there, like with Loki, and I really want people to keep talking about it.
Love the Zenith Passage shirt! One of my favourite bands!
It is great to see you guys make it back. This channel is my "happy place" on the interwebs.
Peter weir was the best. He cared so much about the details that told the story. I loved that little bit when Ethan hawk mentions how he talked to him during Dead poets society.
The director of Master and Commander knows what he was doing, the effort they put into doing as much of the work as possible in practical and then dialing the special effects back so that the focus is on the story telling is how it should be done, shame that the movie wasn't a hit, it could have turned into a series like pirates of the Caribbean and the best part is that they already have multiple books to adapt. Hope someone else picks it back up some day
My favorite episode in a while. Love "Master and Commander"!! More movies should be made like it!!
It would be a pleasure to see you react to different storm effects (tornado/thunderstorm/snow storm) in movies where the weather is the main focus or a main plot device. Twister is obvious, but things like the tornado in The Wizard of Oz that are surprisingly good would be interesting to see your take on.
“This old guy”??!!! That’s Udo Kier! Show some respect!
Loki is so underrated. The VFX, but also the writing, acting, and score are the top-tier of what Marvel is still putting out.
Yes! Just started, and I'm pumped for Master and Commander
Digging Sam’s Zenith Passage shirt.
Thanks to Sam for rocking the Inferi shirt in one of these right before the Rags to Riffage Tour started last October.
Having hundreds of thousands of extra eyes see our tour headliner’s logo right before the tour started was rad. Respect.
Another movie with incredible CGI water and pretty good real world water comping is The Perfect Storm (2000), some outstanding opticals in that movie, especially how the Filmmakers pull off the massive storm visuals with the gigantic wave at the end of the film and storm clouds.
I believe they had that movie in one of the early episodes of VFX Artists React
@@damyr55 Oh really, cool I'll definitely watch that one, thank you, much appreciated.
I think Kojima might be using Ziva Tech. I love the Corridor Crew you guys are amazing. One day I hope to break into VFX and be as knowledgeable and cool as you guys!! I'm trying to learn Bryce and Hash animation master so I can work on the next avatar!
Even with Ziva you don't get the results they show on their videos. The reason it's not Ziva is kojima is using a specific actress and he scanned her. What Ziva does is give you scans essencially with all the mapping done properly. If you're already scanning yourself, why use ziva?
What corridor is missing here, and in their shots, is a lot of tweaking, they didn't even DNA tweak to make sure their face translates well to the model. TLOU2 also had this were the mocap looked kinda janky, and then they tweaked it and it's one of the best looking games animation wise. You can probably go further with machine learning as well, I'm kinda baffled noone did this yet and that's what I wonder if kojima actually did. Like a fast pipeline for metahumans and high end gear
11:36 "I make the buttons" absolutely, and anytime I make my own gizmo I pat myself on the back a little haha
Shout out to Master and Commander. Such a good film. It IS a great story and it IS exceptionally well-acted, but it doesn't lack for spectacular or memorable action scenes. Got the best broadsides on film, imo. Must watch if you have even a passing interest in naval warfare, pirates, action, good writing, or great movies.
I just watched Air Force One after however many years, would love for the gang to talk about the effects from that one.
the awful cgi plane crash in the ocean!
I believe they have gone over those effects before
@@12hoyebr oh have they? I guess I don’t remember that
I stand corrected. They did cover it.
I need to hear Sam’s feelings about movies made with digital cameras now 😂
I'm so glad y'all loved the Loki S2 spaghetification! I was really impressed with the season as a whole but especially the intensity the VFX brought to make the world ending effects was so immersive!
OMG.....When you guys started the Loki part , I totally was looking for the skip ad toggle... Hahaha For real , I paused the video ..love you guys.
Udo Kier!!
sick Zenith Passage shirt
Wētā strikes again! Honestly feels like every time there's cutting edge vfx for that time (Master and Commander), it turns out Wētā was involved. Those amazing Kiwis!
Always really proud as a fellow Kiwi when I see them continuing to slay on the international CGI & movie-prop stage!! 🥰 The studio name is still weird though... it's a little bit like naming a movie production company "Roach" or "Mealbug"...? 😅
6:57 INFO: it IS capture driven mesh, theres been a bin fascinating thing with lips and skin tension, that can now be calculated with the captured data to make the mesh react correctly to the driving data, look up "lip stickyness" its a specific tweak that varies but can really sell emotional expression.
"This old guy." This old guy? That's Udo Kier. Yeah, no. C'mon.
I was super impressed with the Loki CGI even though it's a Marvel show. I mean look at She-Hulk.
Yay, thankyou for finally talking about Master and Commander!
The best 3 guys to react to VFX. 👌🏼
Pls don't change this trio
Hope the whole crew is doing well, but can’t help but feel a little bummed that I didn’t get to see Clint open up garbage at the holiday party. Anyone else feel the same way?
Nope.
parasocial.
"I know we are all a bit burned out by Marvel these days"
shows one of the best show ever made for the genre
If you stripped all of the Marvel aspects out of it, 'Loki' would still be really solid science fiction
The only channel where I don't fast forward the ads.
OMG I noticed Sam's Zenith Passage shirt RIGHT AWAY! Seen them live twice now, great band! 🤘
The Hideo Kojima Game footage is clearly just the actors actual faces. That is not cgi, just actual footage of them doing the mocap.
Master and Commander is great. The HMS Surprise is now permanently docked in San Diego and you can go tour it.
'The Vast of Night' (2019) - I just re-rewatched this movie and was again blown away by the cinematography. There's not a huge amount of visual effects except for a 4min, 20sec faux one-shot (at the 30:45 mark). This shot starts inside one building focussed on one lead character, then goes around the entire town (even through a basketball game) to end up focussed on the phone of the other lead character somewhere else. This was accomplished with several CGI stitches between steadycam shots that are either handheld or in a go-cart. And that's directly after a 9.5min single shot where the only camera movement is a slight zoom on a lead character. Again, the camera direction in this film just blows me away! Well done Miguel Littin-Menz and Andrew Patterson.
I think the Stone Sour Through Glass music video would be an awesome clip for an upcoming react. There's a great set of effects part way through that really catch you off guard.
Yes! Please do this one, I’ve always wondered how these effects were done.
Absolutely! I have wondered that too. Do a whole episode on 2000’s music vids. I’d watch.
