Hey Clint, your chance of failure is absolute zero!!!!!!
Speaking of the bridge scene, have you guys seen the bridge scene in, The Phantom staring Billy Zane
the swastika outside the west is the symbol of the sun, the nazis turned into a bent X, imagine god is quite angry with how they perverted his symbol.
The Temple of Doom bridge shot has so much more to it, and it got covered by one of the best VFX documentaries 'How To Film The Impossible'. When the crew are casually saying that the falling bodies are being rotoscoped, you have to remember this was done on film, that meant blowing up the frames, drawing lines around the objects onto transparent acetate, and then painting over the outlines to make the mask, rephotographing these onto 35mm film and then finally compositing the whole lot on an optical printer.
When hanging off the cliff there's a lot of optical elements that needed to be combined, and stuntmen falling off watch matched by puppeteers so they could transition from the real people to the models as they fell from one side of the frame to the other.
It's a fantastic documentary because it shows just how much work was needed before digital compositing became commonplace.
Good info, I'll check that out. FLY SAFE
Who'd have thought you'd be so into movies
I'm constantly blown away when learning how much work goes into the special effects, VFX, filmmaking in general.
So much ingenuity and creativity in problem solving.
Huge respect to anyone who's able to come up with this stuff and then pull it off convincingly.
A wild Scott Manley appears!!
Thank you for sharing! Absolute legend
I love how Clint regularly shows up to mess with the boys even after all this time because they have so much fun together
gotta love Clint
His hat game is strong
Wow, parasocial much?
Cause people love clint, he's honest an authentic unlike wren with his overreaction and oberly dramatic who craves for attention
Thank god the eye candy is back
Physics captain here: The ”2 shockwaves” of the nuke are not a mistake. The first one is electromagnetic radiation (i.e. light and infrared light etc) hitting the buildings and literally burning the surface, instantly vaporizing it. It travels at the speed of light.
*edit, thanks nathankoren for your awesome comment*
Then you get the shockwave that travels through the ground as the speed of sound is much faster in denser materials like the ground.
*edit ends*
Only after that does the actual traditional air shockwave hit, much later (relative term here, explosions are pretty fast). I recommend watching footage of the actual first nuke test Trinity here on youtube, where you can see that "light burning" happening. It’s amazing how destructive nukes are.
Second point: an explosion can cause objects to fly away faster than the speed of sound = faster than the shockwave. Otherwise bullets would be bound to the speed of sound, which they exceed often by several magnitudes. A bullet is literally an explosion launched object. The explosion itself, the expansion of the exploding gasses, can be much faster than the speed of sound. Only after it’s lost it’s initial momentum, you just start pushing air, which pushes more air, which pushes more air, and that is limited to the speed of sound. So the launch speed of the fridge is dependent on how close to the nuke it was.
Still the whole “Indy is in a led-lined fridge so he survives” is a bunch of physics herecy of course.
Thank you
That you took the time to write this is awesome. Deserves a like from the team
I'm afraid I've gotta do a fact-check here. You're absolutely correct that the thermal radiation and the atmospheric shockwave happen at different times, and that the movie shows this correctly. However the thermal radiation is not technically a "shockwave" -- and the movie does show two actual shockwaves. The first just looks like puffs of dust jumping up from the ground a few frames before the atmospheric shockwave arrives. Once again, it's correct to show this: that's the *seismic* shockwave, which propagates much faster than the atmospheric shockwave, since the ground is a denser medium. (I can't believe they bothered to add something this subtle in post, but they did. Hats off to whatever physics nerd decided it needed doing!)
I was scratching my head during this segment. The burning of paint on the homes looked like I’d see in nuke test footage and so did the two “shock wave” looking “shock waves”. Then middle-Seat McGee got flabbergasted by something he was wrong about and I just chalked both up to innocent ignorance.
I think Corridor Digital ran into the fake baby yoda thing where having it be more realistic actually pulls you out because film has taught you how big booms look like on camera
Fun thing for the Crystal Skull fridge - I was a fx artist on Cryptic Studios' "Champions Online" and was working on the desert map around the time that movie came out. I had to create a nuclear explosion event for the game, and I worked with the level designers to make a rare event that would drop a fridge on a random player and then have a fedora float down.
Nice fallout also had a fridge easter egg 👌
Ha that's awesome. Champions was an incredible game. Probably the MMO I miss the most.
I was a huge Champions Online player! Loved it so much. Thanks for your work on it!
As RLM/plinket famously broke down..the problem was Spielberg stopped refusing Lucas ridiculous suggestions haha, he did the first 3 films but by Crystal he was like ehh yeah whatever and we got monkey scene and all the other goofy nonsense.
Dr. Jones found the only refrigerator in the whole town, otherwise the sky would be full of them. “Our refrigerators will blot out the sun!”
The shelves were weak spirited so him removing them made the fridge indestructible. Duh!
Then we will fight in the shade.
There should have been dozens of fridges and one full of Harrison Ford salsa
The de-aging on Mads Mikkelsen was so good they didn’t even notice it!!
Honestly I think the Mads deaging is better than Harrison's. At no time did I even question the reality of it, it wasn't until they showed him in the "present" that I remembered "oh yeah, he's fairly older himself."
I think it's just that Mads Mikkelsen has aged very well, they don't need to change his face nearly as much as they do Harrison's.
@@bingo5387 To be fair, Mads Mikkelsen is 25 years younger than Harrison Ford.
Wow! I never noticed! That's crazy. I noticed Harrison Ford's right away lol
@@davidvanwagenen8623 well obviously because you know he's really 80
Really got to laugh so hard with Ren's anticlimatic "biggest hit all of all time" moment. That was a priceless laugh, thank you Ren! hahaha
@23:34 what I find amazing is when we see Mads Mikkelsen's character later, he just looks like he aged normally - not that his skull was completely smashed in by a metal spout. I was waiting for him to show up as Bond-type villain with a reconstructed face.
that makes it sound like the two character switched places lol
I was so annoyed that the entire movie, Mads character "somehow returned" after dying so many times. Haha
@@rabidkitten01 I imagine after he died at the end of Doctor Strange, and I guess Death Stranding too.
he got a big scar of his foreheard.
the melting faces made me squeeze my eyes shut as a kid but now I can't look away...it's such a cool effect
SAME!! The burning image of it scared and even was implanted in my head for a while as a kid. I was scared to death!!!
Like I’m not so squeamish to it anymore, and I do however even going back and watching the behind the scenes videos later on in life and seeing how they were able to do that, which was cool and interesting for its time without the cgi tech we have now.
When I first saw it, I was blown away. For the subject matter it's quite beautiful.
22:08 To me, the reason why Harrison Ford still feels CGI is because he still looks a little too smooth at times. There are some scenes where he looks like he has one of those beauty filters on at 20% opacity. Also, the transition between expressions is too smooth. Even for his age, he should be switching expressions a touch faster, where as what they do here feels like a slowed down interpolation.
This is still a breakthrough in deageing, but not 100% out of the uncanny valley :)
Yeah, that's what I was getting too. They're dead on when when they say that we're getting to a point now of having fewer notes and just "knowing" that it's not quite right. The face didn't move as much as you'd expect, especially when he lands on his back and only slightly winces. It's just smaller details now that still give somewhat LA Noire/uncanny valley vibes.
@@Hangman1313 To be fair, he is much more articulate than CG Tarkin.
In my opinion you're 100% correct, the main issue with the de aging is Harrison not looking detailed and sharp enough, and it's actually easy enough to prove, all anyone has to do is take a still frame of Harrison when he looks slightly off, put it into picture editing software, roughly cut around Harrisons face, and then increase the sharpness and you see exactly what John means. The lighting is on point, the facial movements aren't too bad, but it's just the detail isn't sharp enough compared to the real people, so we instantly know something's out of place. The main problem with CGI has always been and will always be the lack of true detail, the inability to make a render detailed and sharp enough due to lack of time. The day we get to a point where we can render CGI with the correct amount of detail and sharpness, this is the day that CGI will look real and will truly blow our minds :)
When I saw it in the theater, I (mostly) couldn't see the imperfections, even though I was looking for them. Watching it as a movie, with the dialogue, music, plot, etc, occupies enough of your brain power that the CGI melts away into reality. It's only when you examine the shots in isolation that you can see the flaws.
to me, it feels like they filmed it while Harrison Ford had done Botox fillers beforehand.
I think the bloom in Crystal Skull is just them trying to match the blown out lighting Janusz Kamiński and Spielberg were doing in every movie they did together in the 2000s.
The jungle stuff in Crystal Skull is crazy, because when you watch the behind-the-scenes stuff you can see they actually went out and filmed stuff on location for the jungle, and it actually looks good, and then they added all this digital underbrush and overgrowth all over the place and it just makes the whole thing look fake to the point it doesn’t even make sense they filmed in real places because the whole thing just looks like a cartoon and like they were on a stage for everything.
8:50 NO WAY!!! In the over 30 years I've seen Temple of Doom multiple times, this is my first time ever seeing that shot with the hand IN the chest. The UK release we had on VHS at home didn't have it nor have I seen it on TV over the years. My guess is the censorship board had the shot removed for release over here.
That whole scene was described at the time as 'magic' like voodoo, where the victim is being convinced they have had their heart taken, as in some fake surgery to remove a tumour that was covered quite well decades ago.
The 'hand in the chest' wasn't needed and merely stands out as contrary to the story.
Thats fascinating. So it's different on disney plus over there then right?
@@Guerrillablackdog I don't have Disney Plus, so can't tell you if that shot has been reinstated this side.
Same here too, I don't even remember seeing that shot; I didn't even know what Mola Ram was doing during the sequence.
@@tarideanJust checked and it's in the Australian version.
Around 20:40 when they show Shia swinging I finally got why the scene looked off to me. The sun was on the left, the whole scene was lit from the left yet Shias back (that was facing left) was hidden in shadow and his face (facing away from the biggest light source, the sun) was brightly lit...
The light sources in general in the movie are so glaringly atrocious it makes me sleepy and the costumes are also way too clean.
What's funny is if you watch the movie and just skip that entire scene completely and the fridge explosion, the movie is so solid. But yep, exactly why I think the scene looks so off.
Honestly it looked like Wren for a sec
regarding 18:50 , I think the "double shockwave" is fully intentional. A nuke explosion would have the heat wave arrive way before the shockwave (at the speed of light, compared to the speed of sound), and locally it has this billowing effect on the smoke and dust. Real test footage from nuke explosions shows this same phenomenon, something that appears like a lighter wave before the actual shockwave hits
But it wouldn't look like a wave because it's the speed of light, right? We wouldn't see it moving.
I think their artistic eye butts up against the physics of a nuclear explosion, you can make anything look shoddy going frame by frame anyway lol
Yup, I think that was the *intent*, however, we've already seen a visual flash before that in a previous shot. Probably the person doing *this* shot either didn't have knowledge of that (maybe it was even edited differently later), or was just laser focused on their own and forgot.
Yeah, the thermal radiation almost immediately sets materials on fire, before the big boom or even the fireball itself arrived. It's insane watching that trinity test footage and seeing the world around you just instantly become hell.
You are right, but the wave of light is to fast to be observed, as far as we can see the heat hits everything at once, the light wave front is unobservable to us
Not so fun fact: The Temple of Doom is banned in India, because it was very stereotypical, presenting them in the wrong way and Goddess Kali being an evil goddess. They didn't even let them shoot the movie in India, it was shot in Sri Lanka with Sri Lankan people acting in it. The villain played by Amrish Puri only worked in the movie because it was a Spielberg movie.
On the monkeys in Crystal Skull, one of the challenges was that they were using E-on Vue for forest rendering. At the time, it could do things well beyond any other package for atmosphere, terrain and plant simulation but it was also buggy as heck and integrated poorly. ILM had experience with Vue in Dead Man's Chest (the entire cannibal island was created in Vue) but there it was purely used for background mattes.
For the first 5 versions, Vue was just a pretty good step up from stuff like Terragen but version 6 was an absolute game changer. Out of the box, you could do volumetric clouds that looked better than anything outside of a studio's proprietary workflow, spectral atmospheres (automatically doing things like Rayleigh scattering) and put down millions of terrain items (plants, rocks) on a fractal landscape with individual variations. This could even be done on a home PC of the time, though the render times were punishing. Vue 7 polished this and improved the workflow but it was one of those products that did what it did well but was really limiting once you stepped out and tried to do more.
"So you know hot ones? Yeah it's like that but nothing like it whatsoever"
Even as a kid it was obvious that sped up photography was an ingredient in creating the melting face sequence.
And because it was so obvious I didn't care about the glasses basically disappearing, because I knew WHY they disappeared.
Still, the melting face itself works so well that it actually sells the shot and I'm really glad they kept it in the movie.
I believe the crew talks about shots like these being a "good enough" shots. They aren't necessarily there to establish realism (since, you know, how realistic can the power of capital G God melting a guy's face off can you get?) as much as a specific image and tone, and those two parts are absolutely nailed in the final product. You didn't see anybody in the 80's talking about this scene because the glasses falling was a little wonky. They talked about it because of how it meshed with the rest of the sequence and its certain shock value.
The opening of the Ark (thanks flexydex8754) scene is just incredible, a juxtaposition of spellbinding wonder and visceral hellishness. God this was terrifying as a young boy growing up... When you have writing and screenplay this effective it almost doesn't matter about how convincing the VFX are, your belief is suspended to an extent that you totally buy into what you're seeing and feeling. Let's not forget the musical score too. Damn... what a film Raiders is. Maybe the GOAT for me.
Same! Those scenes terrified me when a was little, but I loved the movie soo much I watched it every week, with Back to the Futur 3. I’m glad to had such a great childhood.
ark*
The de-aging effect in Dial of Destiny has a slight essence of Polar Express animation. That Polar Express effect is also noticable in Tron Legacy to a much greater extent.
That "blind step" scene from The Last Crusade blew my mind when I first watched it. It was amazing.
And then I thought... Sure it looks that way from my perspective, but wouldn't Indy have been able to see it from his perspective? And then I reminded my teenage self to suspend belief and enjoy the show.
The camera shows it from his perspective until the reveal. The opening of the wall is extremely narrow, and a sheer drop on either side, but we and Indy don't realize until after the leap that that's to keep someone from being able to look at the bridge from another angle
The illusion only works from one position. If a person with a different height to Indy was stood there, then they would see the bridge.
Definitely the best way to enjoy movies. They’re stories, and how would Indy recall that story? He’d say, “The bridge was invisible, I couldn’t see a thing. It was a leap of faith.” This is just the film version of that story. It doesn’t matter that the camera moved and therefore the illusion should’ve been broken; the point is that the bridge needed to look/feel invisible, so they made it that way.
@@ZakFierceExcept, the illusion lines up to the right of the hole. A person at the hole would be able to see it.
n1111 n1111 n1111 I'm not trying to be a dick, but are you really saying the ancient whatevers built the test to NOT work dead on? The perspective trick has to work from floor to ceiling of that narrow opening and a few degrees of 'lean' on either side, or there's no point
Clint with the keffiyeh made my day. What a king 👑
Exactlyyy 💯. Free Palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
I tear'd up.
king shit for real. Clint just got extra cool in my eyes
🍉🍉🍉
Not sure he knows what he's wearing. It looks like one of those "fashion" keffiyehs.
The whole opening sequence to DoD was pure nostalgia.
Seeing Indy on the big screen again, well, my inner child was Jonesing all over. The adventure, the scale, the Indy beats/isms, the theme, it was just the epitome of what an Indiana Jones should be.
Was it 100% perfect? No. But it was perfect enough that I didn't question it and was fully immersed in the movie.
I still think you guys should cover the cable car sequences from 'Where Eagles Dare'!!!!!
Clint rockin' that kaffiyeh. Good on you, man.
Was looking for this comment fs
In the UK, the hand in the chest stuff was cut to get a PG at the time. It’s restored for the various disc releases.
Thanks. I was wondering why this was the first time I'm seeing it.
It was censored in Australia too.
it was restored for TV release in the UK as well, I've never seen the old movies in theatres or on VHS/DVD etc but saw them on TV in he 90's, those scenes were there.
Temple Of Doom was the first Indy film I saw, way back in the 1980s. But I only discovered the hand through the chest footage about 4 years ago. I was flabbergasted! For a moment, I considered that I was a interdimensional being from another universe. Oh my crystal bones.
Wait, I was disappointed as a kid compared to what I’d heard and imagined, but some countries got even less?
Imagine a world without Spielberg films...
Boy, I hope someone got fired for that blunder…! 😁
I think we’d survive.
It would be a sad world for sure!
Luckily we have Spielberg instead
Steven Spellwrong 😂
Really refreshing to see professionals break down these iconic movies and discuss the visual effects. Love the mix of practical effects and CGI explanation.
I swear this would be my dream job. These guys are so creative and talented and have so much fun together. I could watch any movie with them providing commentary on the special effects
8:39 that is amrish puri , great indian actor known for his great villain's role in movies
I show one of his movie
His Role in SRK starer Movie “Karan-Arjun” is Lit 🥵
In the Crystal Skull nuke scene the initial wave before the explosion reaches the town is an outflow boundary, the local atmosphere being pushed away ahead of the shockwave. I think that's what they were trying to do. It probably looks off because it's a bit slow.
Is there actually an outflow of atmosphere being pushed away when the shockwave itself is moving at the speed of sound? I thought the point of the sound barrier is that the atmosphere ahead of it doesn't have time to move away.
@@KillahMatewithout looking it up I'd guess that it might be similar to a bow shock, where a shockwave detaches from a blunt supersonic object and is pushed ahead of it. The object in this case being the direct shock/mach wave from the detonation. But idk if one wave can create another
0:40 good ol' Spielburg👏👏
I miss Clint's input so much, he's got such great chemistry with everyone in the Corridor office. Always a banger episode!
Friendly note for the room, it's "Spielberg," and I'm only mentioning it because I fully expect the man himself could show up on one of these someday
I caught it too. Good on ya. Hate to be that guy, but worth correcting someone’s name. 👍👍👍
Great to see Clint. Love the scarf!!
My favourite scene is the mine-car chase, ILM's brilliance shows through there with its miniatures too.
Shame they didn't touch on it in the video with barely anything more then a quick footnote.😂
The funniest thing about the hardest hit Wren talks about at 23:33 is that that guy somehow survives that hit in the movie without a scratch or a permanent disability, and it never gets brought up how he managed that lol. I guess that is this movies version of Indy surviving the nuke in a fridge, just absolutely implausible lol
For all it's flaws, that mushroom cloud shot in Crystal Skull at least looks better than the bomb in Oppenheimer
In any other context that Oppenheimer bomb would look fantastic, but as a nuclear explosion geez does it fall short. It had me confused in theater because the scene building up to it had my heart beating, then I see the bomb, and I know it's a cool practical effect but I'm really disappointed at the same time and I couldn't quite figure out why.
@@billbill6094 I feel like Nolan's "no cgi" philosophy backfire when he values it over whats best for the movie
FOR REAL
I stood up and went for a piss halfway thru the oppenheimer bomb scene cos it was so lame
You guys snapped on that ball roll in the intro. It looked so good. Love your work, yall. Stay blessed
That cloud effect over the island at the end of Raiders was a cloud tank effect. They later used that giant cloud tank to put a puppet in for that "lion roar" monster in Poltergeist.
Seeing Clint again is so great
Need to do Chronicles of Narnia one of these times.
Yes, Aslan still looks really great all these years later!
@@JessAnderson1988far better than the lion king remake too
@@gmcubed oh man please don't remind me that thing exists lol. But yes I completely agree, because Aslan was able to emote.
Narnia compared to the old BBC version.
@@JessAnderson1988 Liam Neeson
There was an episode of Doctor Who from the 80s that did a face melt that rivals the ones from Raiders (Dragonfire from Season 24), far better than it has any business being.
Could probably do a whole episode of VFX reacts from Classic Who. They pioneered using Colour Separation Overlay in the 70s, for integrating VFX and for cutting costs on sets (the troll doll attack in Terror of the Autons is a good example of both). The opening of season 23, Trial of the Time lord, has a gorgeous model sequence with motion control.
I loved that you guys did this again! Indiana Jones is a huge part of my life and this was a great suprise. Cant wait for the great circle too
Just on the blast wave/shockwave effect - I can see two things to about this. The smoke/burning 'wave' they add is trying to show the intense heat wave that happens immediately - though this moves at roughly the speed of light so you wouldn't really see it roll across the ground. However I understand that with a large blast wave like this you'd have a leading edge to it due to irregular reflections of the shock wave et. Perhaps this is what they were going for (or could justify it as :P )
You should absolutely look at Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Adaptation. It was made by a bunch of kids in the 80s, it's a shot for shot remake that's actually incredible!
Is there a place to watch it online? I watched a documentary about it a few years ago and I remember it saying that the only time it was shown was at an in person screening.
The Dial of Destiny New York shots were filmed in Glasgow, Scotland, largely outside of my employer's HQ right in the centre of the city. I expect that's part of why the crowd scenes didn't just hire a ton of extras - they had to co-ordinate filming around letting people through the sets to get to and from their work!
A few films lately have used Glasgow to stand in for places (often London) after Fast and Furious 6 discovered that they could film a load of extra car flips because it's so much cheaper to do it in Glasgow than London. My colleagues that work from HQ hate it, the chance to spot Idris Elba or whoever doesn't make up for getting lunch being a nightmare!
Couldn't help but point out all the Glasgow shots when I watched the movie "Oh I worked round the corner from there" and stuff :)
Corridor Crew you are entertainment personified...With such a rich film history in the world it seems that you will never run outt of material to comment on. Your crew chemistry is spot on and your show is a gem! Trully, bravo!
You hit the key with the fact that the directors or writers are creating a script and filming without a clear idea if this shot will work with cg or how to film it with those limitations in mind…anything James Gunn comes to mind with a master of visual effects with live action.
It always makes me happy when Clint makes an appearance
Crystal Skull was the first one I saw in theaters. It holds a special place in my heart. idc what any one says, its one FUN movie.
It is fun and people that shit on it are often doing it because it's the cool thing to do. If you ask people to give it a second chance or you ask new fans what they think, they actually like it
You guys should do a challenge where you try to re-create the face melting shot from raiders digitally . . . or practically if you think you’re up to it.
Story time!
My grandpa used to be the director of operations at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico, which has been a popular filming location for decades. Right next to his house, on the outskirts of the Ghost Ranch property on the side of the highway, was a gated dirt road which dead-ended in a beautiful lake where my siblings and I would go to skip rocks whenever we’d visit. My dad even had a photograph he took of the lake view from the road as his desktop background for most of the 2000s. Sometime around 2007 the road was paved over and we heard rumblings it was being used for the new Indiana Jones film. Long story short, this is where they filmed the opening scene which is supposed to depict the highway leading to Las Vegas, and I always get a kick knowing that in reality that military vehicle would’ve had to stop before tumbling into a New Mexico lake.
We did go back to that road once or twice after filming wrapped, but it was never quite the same…..
Just wanted to note here though that the double shockwave from the nuke in the fridge scene is totally accurate. Nukes hit twice in quick succession - the first is the heat wave, and the second is the pressure wave.
Chris Walas (who built the melting/shrinking/exploding heads for Raiders) was very happy with the melting head. It was the shrinking head that didn't come out like they hoped. The original shot was longer, with a hand reaching up and clutching the throat before the head shrinks. But it looked too fake so the shot was cut very short and an extra plume of fire added to cover it a bit.
The exploding head was originally meant to be seen without the fire in front, but the ratings board threatened to give the movie an R rating if it wasn't changed. So they added the fire in front BUT if you watch carefully, the fire fades away for a moment right when the head explodes so you can see it almost uncovered for a split second, then the fire fades back in. So they basically fooled the ratings board.
I like _Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,_ and its aesthetic was obviously a deliberate artistic decision because it was consistent throughout the entire movie.
When I first watched Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, it was from a DVD my dad had purchased in a local marketplace in Iraq on his deployment. They would buy like 3-5 totally pirated DVD movies for like $20. The quality would vary from camcorders recording a movie theater screen to actual DVD rips. When he came back, he brought most of the DVDs with him, one of which was Crystal Skull. When I watched it for the first time I thought it was just a poor quality rip. Nope...come to find out that that move really does look like everything was just smudged in vaseline 😂
They really fixed that look of the film on the 4K release and the Disney+ version.
Love to see a longer episode like this, looking forward to more of those!
Yeah, they could easily do a full-length episode on each film and it would be riveting.
I love seeing the whole team. And its great to see clint again, even after his departure. Thank you
clint! you dont understand how happy i am to see that he’s back and making a new render compilation!
It's always a good day with Clint on the couch
In Crystal Skull, The refridgerator scene was supposed to have been used in "Back to the Future" as that was the Time Machine before the Delorean
they backed off the idea because they didnt want kids to get stuck in fridges in the 80s
Clint: It's like looking into Wren's soul
Wren: Yeeahh! 😊
It's good to see Clint back in the couch, and I'm happy I learned something about one of the best trilogies ever made. :)
Temple of Doom is still my favorite IJ after Raiders. I love the art direction of the underground so much.

Clint! I just want to say thank you for coming back and dropping insight as per usual. But I also appreciate you coming back and using your platforms to share things that mean something to you. Its what makes you a genuine artist/creative and it is to no surprise that I see you taking this opportunity to wear a keffiyeh and to show solidarity to humanity and the people of Palestine. Between hearing Animator Aaron Blaise talk about his experiences making Brother Bear and Corridor Crew graciously using that time to highlight Islamophobia was very responsible and also just a tactful way of communicating with your audience while not bogging your content down with politics. Thanks for keeping the content the content but never straying from your values. Yall making this brown animator tear up. Because we hurting right now as a community.
Tf are you talking about

Ke Huy Quan (short round) was a stunt coordinator/ fight coordinator in X-Men
bro a video with the trio and an indiana jones vfx breakdown?? christmas came early 😭
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS! The practical effects are just ridiculous, making Audrey 2 look more alive than ANY movie out there! It deserves to be shown! Love u guys♡♡♡
they already did one scene, the one where rick moranis is acting with Audrey 2 backwards
Really? How'd I miss THAT?!!?! Thank u!
@@jamieschettler8701 It was with Adam Savage
@@hallzy2379 Wow! I really wanted to see them go over the "Feed Me" song. That was incredible. Audrey 2 took like 100 puppeteers to operate!
I know I’m late and it’s probably been pointed out but at 4:14 you can see the lightbulb on one of the soldier’s back right before it lights up and the vfx are added. I thought that was super cool
That was a great intro, I loved the boulder bit!
“Smeary” is the perfect word for describing the effects in Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
It's the destructive modern tendency to rush everything as if taking a second to show the work is not to be permitted under any circumstances.
Someone's going to realise ( again ) that effects do not have to be sophisticated to work.
'The Grand Budapest Hotel' had effects that were essentially the same as silent movies made in 1919, and it works well.
LOL I actually had a minor revelation when Nick said: "There's only two ways to make a picture - you either take a photograph of it, or you paint it."
Face Off was the best face replacement, amazing how they make Travolta look like Cage!
I love that bridges hat Clint is wearing
As someone who identifies as someone who has seen CGI in movies, I can honestly say that this is great.
What
good to see Clint again
Loaded questions is such a great concept!!!
The Ark opening scene in Indiana Jones forever changed how my mother defined movies. Any movie that had any kind of action or fantasy or scifi elements to them that she might be watching also, the first question, without fail, is "does it have any face melting in it?" Steven Spielberg scarred my mother for life with that scene.
Clint coming back is ALWAYS a treat
Corridor crew never disappointeds us
The leap of faith in Last Crusade always had a vibe I never quite have seen again. It´s such a weird border case of just about straddling the line between supernatural and belivability that you cannot quite nail down if it is actual "magic" or a really smart optical illusion in universe.
It was great to see Clint again. Great
I could watch this series forever.
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
The Temple of Doom bridge shot is so much better than the one in The Man Who Would Be King.
About the two shockwaves: ackckhyally🤓, the first one is the radiation wave, heating everything up and smoking. It IS physically accurate, except there’s a stylistic choice to make the wave slow (a few times faster than the shockwave), when it should hit everything at the same time (light speed).
At the same time, watching a live with Pwnisher for another 3D community challenge!
16:45-16:46 - Technically _Kingdom of the Crystal Skull_ was not well-received by the Die-hard _Indiana Jones_ fans who liked the first three films, but oddly some critics enjoyed it.
For _Dial of Destiny_ reception was divided, some say it was Improvement over _Crystal Skull_ others say it’s not as good as _Crystal Skull,_ and others say the film ran it’s course and pretend the first three films are the actual films and the fourth and fifth never existed.
The Nuke scene was AMAZING. I saw it on cimenas when i was a kid. my first indiana jones movie
Always love seeing Clint on the show
I think it's perfect time to take a look on ted movies and the new series
Boulder:🗿
Wren: come at me!
So it’s true. Wren’s an earthbender!
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS ALL MY LIFE!!!!
Woo hoo! Clint Jones has returned! Good to see ya! 👍🏼💪🏼
One of the main things that pulled me out of the de-aged Indiana Jones is that the character is still voiced by old man Harrison Ford
yeah
And also moved like an old man. I completely believed the look but it was exactly the rest that pulled me out.
was at Star wars celebration and saw a preview of the cart scene from Indy and the dial.
was fun to be in a room of people pretending they enjoyed it
Picard: There are three Indiana Jones movies!
The Raiders cloud trick was probably done in a cloud tank. An aquarium filled with water, than in/paint is pumped in to create clouds.
