Great video.👏 I was a matte painter on Shogun. Worked on Osaka, the Tenshu and the surrounding environment alongside some brilliant artists. It was an amazing project to work on and it's wonderful reading all the comments praising the work.
I think that the greatest testament to how much of a fantastic job you and your colleagues did was that I never got the sense that I was watching a VFX shot or a painted background. Not once. Only now, watching this feature, the rational part of my brain is going "oh right yeah they didn't have actual 17th-century Osaka to film".
This is honestly insane work, after watching 6 episode I knew that it couldn't possibly all be shot real, but I never expected this much to be CG, I genuinely couldn't tell
Tbf the "drone shots" of Osaka and the sea stuff was very clearly CGI, and maybe not the best. But I'm shocked how much of the other stuff is, most of it I really couldn't tell.
Thank you guys for giving your VFX team the credit they deserve. It's a mark of decency, in an environment where many of your peers in Hollywood prefer to lie and pretend their movies/shows don't use CG.
That's the thing about CGI, you don't notice it when it's good, but you notice it very well when it's flawed. With that said, things do seem to look the best when it's a good mix of both practical and CG.
@@TehIdiotOne This is the result you get with proper planning and sticking to one vision. As a VFX Compositor, directors will sometimes change things last minute and still want us to stick to the same deadline.
This level of craftsmanship for a show . The amount of hardwork and dedication required to achieve this scale is beyond me , I pour my heart and love to this show and it’s makers.❤
What's crazy is, I didn't once think about VFX while watching this show. It's so well-grounded that it didn't even occur to me to wonder which parts were green screened in.
I can see the fire on the arrows not being real, but the whole of all those arrows being shot from bows in relative close-ups being a complete visual effect is incredible. Never in a million years would i have thought that those bows werent just shooting real arrows safely to targets offscreen.
@@empireoflightzprobably so they can exactly control what final look will be for physical arrows, like not firing at same time, or in the right direction. With VFX they have exact control of what the arrows will look like
@@AeroGold1that seems a bit lazy considering the budget of this show, you could probably hire some archers and get some nice looking arrows, maybe just do the fire with VFX? Guess I'm always a supporter of doing things practical when possible like a Nolan or Villeneuve would do, but I suppose if the end result looks ok, which it *mostly* does on Shogun (but not always), then I'm ok with it.
@@empireoflightz Not lazy at all as VFX works is extremely expensive and time consuming. You can't shoot an arrow near a person, so a digital asset is going to be used either way, the reasons why one would replace it with digital assets is to have full control of the quantity and where they land, also for composition, maybe they shot a real arrow on a take but the lighting is incorrect.
@@empireoflightz I don't remember Nolan or Villeneuve movies ever having archers. When you launch an arrow, it has to go somewhere. If you can replace the arrows with digital effects, it makes more sense to do that then to have to close off part of your set so the arrows don't end up striking crew members. Digital effects are happening more and more for safety reasons. Chad Stahelski's John Wick movies pride themselves on practical stunts, but every single gun muzzle flash you see in any of the four Wick movies are digital effects added in post production because Chad doesn't allow old school blanks to be used on set. That's not lazy, that's just a former stunt guy using new technology to ensure greater safety for his crew and stunt teams.
"Game of Thrones" opened the door with regards to how grand and sweeping television could look. Previously only feature films had the ability to look this epic. Now with both the budget and technology at its disposal, tv productions today can look as amazing as their big screen counterparts.
Rachel Kondo: "I hope you all will be curious about this world which we are unfamiliar with". Well you guys definitely did a good job transporting me to 17th century feudal Japan. Amazing work by the team, I am speechless!
I wish there would be more shows like this, that feeling is just wow sometimes feels 1 may feel long or short I watch the first episode so fast but then it got into the show and to be honest it feel I was watching the tv for days.
Absolutely love the show. The effort and quality coming in from both Practical and VFX is astounding. Thank you for giving credit where it's due. This sets the stage for Tai-Pan, King Rat and so on. Good days ahead. b
I am an aspiring VFX artist and here because the arrow slow-motion shot inspired me incredibly. I will give everything for this wonderful art of filmmaking and 3D design in combination.
VFX has been amazing. Ever since Forrest Gump, I've tried to pay attention to VFX used on "ordinary" scenes, not space ships or monster, but ordinary scenes. It's amazing what these artists do. And also to keep these actors safe!
The team did a fantastic job with the VFX. At no time during my viewing of this from episode 1 to 10 did I pause to wonder if certain things were CGI or real. Everything seemed real to me. That’s how good it was.
Wow. Unbelievable! The blood and gore reminds me of Kill Bill. Mad respect to the VFX Team for the incredible CGIs they made for this very remarkable series. If only they could show this on big screen, it will definitely be huge! It is like LOTR all over again! ❤🙌
Much respect! Has made for an amazing movie series to watch. With only a few episodes left hoping there is a chance for a season 2. Its japanese history, there are perhaps possibilities.
@@penegakkeadilanpembasmikej5022 I'm more impatient than strong. It drives me nuts to get to the end of an episode then have to wait seven miserable days for the next one. I know I'm going to be watching the episodes until I keel over.
Thank you for this piece of work you did on this show and congratulations on your emmy and golden globe win (i already know based on the work you have given out 🙏🏻)
Man I love how we keep getting better and better as humans just looking at this makes me proud of humanity I told my father about CGI and he laughed at me not believing it he said "no they hired real people" 😂😂
4:40大阪の城下町が描かれているのが凄く嬉しいけど、映る時間短すぎて残念。戦国のゲルニカ「大阪夏の陣図屏風」再現を期待してます。 4:40You can guess who lives there just by looking at the buildings.I'm looking forward to seeing which called GUERNICA drawn during the Sengoku period turned into a movie.It is displayed inside Osaka Castle.
The novel has ended, but Japanese history is about to get more interesting. I want to see the fight with Ishido (Battle of Sekigahara) please make season 2 Also, Ochiha no Kata, who defected to Toranaga and led him to victory in the Battle of Sekigahara, and his son's battle between Toranaga's (winter camp) and (summer camp) to attack the impregnable Osaka Castle. I want to see General should be seasoned
Stories are told, Good Stories are told in Multitudes, Epics are sung and acted in Operas, Miniseries like SHÖGUN are raised to the level of Art.! ¡Las Historias se narran, las Buenas Historias se cuentan en Multitud, las Epopeyas Epicas se cantan y actúan en Operas, las Miniseries como SHÖGUN se elevan al nivel de Arte.!
I don't know what song it is exactly, but it reminds me a lot of Kojo No Tsuki and Sakura Sakura wich are two traditional popular Japanese songs, this little hummed tune is perhaps an original composition inspired by these songs.
The producers spared no expense on the lush costumes, sets and computer effects, BUT, I gotta ask, what were they thinking with the creepy blue coloured eye contact lenses used by the star of the show... you mean to say, there was not another handsome actor to be found, to play that part, who actually has blue eyes? (The strange blue contact lenses make the actor look like a vampire, and the soulless eyes are very distracting when trying to follow the story.)
What is going on with this show?? On TH-cam TV the show started in 4K then dropped to 1080p now dropped to 720p with no other options. Being in 720p is unacceptable and should not be used for any current TV show.

exactly!!

There's always a lot of cgi in film and TV these days but people only notice the bad.

Especially after watching a recent Corridor Crew Episode. I hope they cover Shogun.
oh plz. mononke 97 and koh 05 all pretended that it wasn't cg galore. who do you think u are referencing nolan.

Never before has a show been so good that I yearn for its podcast and behind the scenes footage.

One word to all the people involved in this project, RESPECT!
The best series on any TV or steaming service today. Simply outstanding!
0:39 I always dream about Toyotomi's old Osaka castle, seeing its precise footages just excite me crazily.
Rachel Kondo: "I hope you all will be curious about this world which we are unfamiliar with". Well you guys definitely did a good job transporting me to 17th century feudal Japan. Amazing work by the team, I am speechless!
Owww.... I am ecstatic about the Battle of Sekigahara sneak peek. But I wish they had held onto it till the episode itself.
I thought they were not going to do it because it was not in the OG show. But I am soooo hyped now!!
I bow to the craftmanship involved.
Such great vfx shots. So many are ones you didn’t even know were there…
how to tell it has stunning cgi while watching i couldnt even think of cgi i was just immersed completely in the shots and storyline. excellent job
I wish there would be more shows like this, that feeling is just wow sometimes feels 1 may feel long or short I watch the first episode so fast but then it got into the show and to be honest it feel I was watching the tv for days.
They may as well just cancel the Emmy voting for this year, because this show is already gonna win them all.
Thank you guys for making this Show. ❤
Absolutely love the show.
The effort and quality coming in from both Practical and VFX is astounding. Thank you for giving credit where it's due. This sets the stage for Tai-Pan, King Rat and so on.

One of the very few shows which you are counting the days before the next episode and re watching the previous,
I am an aspiring VFX artist and here because the arrow slow-motion shot inspired me incredibly. I will give everything for this wonderful art of filmmaking and 3D design in combination.
Phenomenal work as always. These behind the scenes looks really showcase just how skilled the cast & crew if Shōgun really is. Well done all around.
one of the best tv series i've ever seen... watched the first episode and went out and bought the book. What a masterpiece.
A fantastic making of! Thanks for shining a spotlight on the VFX teams' amazing work!
This show is an epic masterpiece!

I reckon the whole world have hear, or are watching this spectacular show,all well for all the people involved in this,and bringing us a gem in need
the brilliance of VFX on this show puts MCU to shame
Just finishing all the episodes of this epic series! Such a great show. I cannot wait for them to win all the Emmys & Golden Globes there is!
Amazing show! Masterpiece
No words. This is just 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Amazing that it blends so well
This show has been absolutely amazing! Hope they made a new one about nobunaga on this scale
A masterpiece
The best show to come out in years!They have to continue this story or at the very least adapt James Clavell’s other books.
The team did a fantastic job with the VFX. At no time during my viewing of this from episode 1 to 10 did I pause to wonder if certain things were CGI or real. Everything seemed real to me. That’s how good it was.

Mind-blowing CG animation would be an understatement.
One of the best show in decades, up there with True Detective Season 1
I can't wait to watch this, but I'm waiting until I can binge the whole thing.

Just watching clips from this show make anxious to watch the next episode

Very very cool
I really love this show very much. Waiting week by week to see.
Amazing show!
Truly spectacular
You guys nailed it🎉
1:27 does this mean were getting the battle of sekigahara!? I am hoping we get it!
Sure looks that way!!!
~~~ BRAVO !!! Well done.
Looks great.
Best tv series since GOT...
Imagine Netflix's Blue Eye Samurai has a Live Action version that would be blow-mind!
Shogun is 🔥🔥🔥
Lord Toranaga.. ☺️
Man I love how we keep getting better and better as humans just looking at this makes me proud of humanity I told my father about CGI and he laughed at me not believing it he said "no they hired real people" 😂😂
I'm a fan of the show, I'll say final render vfx it's amazing
Yarimazing!
This is crazy, I don't know what's CG and what's practical anymore.

turned into a movie.It is displayed inside Osaka Castle.
I was fooled all along, this was just feudal vancouver 😂. What a grand cgi, Daym this series is really a masterpiece.
The CG is ok you really can't tell unless you're paying attention
What a great show! Please, make a Musashi by eiji stream show too. With this same level of quality.
CGI used in an perfect way
Shogun Total War 😤
The novel has ended, but Japanese history is about to get more interesting.
I want to see the fight with Ishido (Battle of Sekigahara)

Informative
When is this comming on Blu-ray?
😎👍❕️
That's so cool... Disbelief officially suspended! #ShogunRocks
what's the soundtrack name from 0:40???
Did you find out?
@@HotdogSosage nope;/ sadlly. you found it maybe?
I don't know what song it is exactly, but it reminds me a lot of Kojo No Tsuki and Sakura Sakura wich are two traditional popular Japanese songs, this little hummed tune is perhaps an original composition inspired by these songs.
How many episode that this show have in total?
10
Mind boggling. Things I thought were positively real....weren't.
This has so many spoilers I can't watch ?!! Not until I finish watching the show.
Can we compare this attention to detail and the collective level of effort to Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy and the works of Weta Workshop?
👏👏👏👏👏👏
何故、字幕は無いんでしょ？何を話してるのか知りたい｡｡｡

1000 vfx artists
