So crazy how they make it look like they are actually on the stage. Glad to find a video that explains it because I couldn't wrap my mind around how this was done.
Same ! I was confused lol but it makes sense now lol
As a cg artist, I was blown away by the compositing. The reflection (which is actually a cool cheat I have used) helped sell it. But the slight shadow and the light on the monsters was second to none and a few other little touches, I was incredibly impressed. The tracking was epic. And the scenes were they were sitting together, how the light was perfectly matched was absolutely stunning.
Would definitely like to know some more technical details. Was this done in UE5 or something else?
Mind expanding on the cheap cheat? I find the reflections one of the most baffling parts of this myself :)
@@wi2rd yea, they are relatively easy to do, but sell it very well. There are a lot of other fine details that are more challenging, but less noticeable
@@benjones5799 How would one do it? Could you explain the basic steps?
I find them quite convincing, but I fail to see an easy way to create them.
@@wi2rd reflections are basically just a mirror image of the object above with a slight opacity and a mask / texture on the floor to occlude the image (so the cracks and dirt and parts of the set get in the way in the right way.
That said, I don't think it was likely done that way. In UE5/4 you could set up a virtual set that is identical to the one they are dancing in, and set up a motion tracker of some sort on the camera (even a vr controller works, but from the video they have more purpose built stuff). Then you set up the characters in UE5 and stream the tracking data from the suits / facial tracking. Set up the lighting, everything, exact and then just composite them together with masks / colour correction to put them together with the live actors (oversimplifying extremely). No doubt a few layers of haze and some glows, etc, were used to, to help blend it. When you do that, if you set up reflectivity on the floor textures, it will automatically do it for you (short of masking out the real actors). I'm trying to work out if the audience reaction is just scripted, or if they just put a screen up the back that they took out in post. Either way, they did an awesome job. I've seen recent movies with far worse character integration.
I could be completely wrong, but the second way is how I would attempt it. A lot of moving parts though, so props to them for pulling it all together so well.
cringe
I like the show but when the best moment of the dance comes the director cuts to the audience and judges reactions. It's very frustrating since I keep missing the dance and it kills the mood. I want to see the whole dance, just put a square or something with the audience and judges reactions. 🤨
Really have to give props to the cgi animators and artists that worked on this show. The production quality was really well done, even better than some movies. It's just unfortunate that the live audience and judges weren't able to see the final rendering 'live', so their reactions and applause may sometimes come off scripted, but what isn't scripted nowadays. Overall, really entertaining and fun watch, and i'm not usually a fan of competition shows. Using the mocap and vfx tech really adds an interesting spin to the show. Really curious how much budget they had on this show. If they are doing another season, I think they can do away with a live audience.
A spin-off series with dance instructions for kids would be a lot of fun with those characters.
Now THAT is a great idea! Too expensive though for not enough financial return.
This should be the top comment
@@hellfirepictures Too expensive? They already have the motion capture equipment. It would be pretty cheap to film. Live motion capture and 3D rendering is done already in VRchat with no post production necessary.
I was mindblown by the technology and how well it captured the dancers' movements and their expressions
The graphics are 🔥
So everyone is just staring at nothing. I though they were using holograms so that the audience and judges would see the monsters in real time
That's what I was thinking
Holographic technology simply hasn't progressed since the 70s so we're a long way off from the Star Wars monster chess set :D
When I saw the trailer I a lot about that too!
That’s what I thought. So now I’m confused on how they judge their dancing?
@@henrybrown7466 As I understand it the judges did still have a live screen they could see the monster's dancing on to actually judge them.
This show was just unbelievable! Great concept, near flawless execution. Also, so happy my favorite won! 😁😁🎉
Who wins?
Grummy
@@jollycomper970 thanks
@@jollycomper970 nice
so the audiance is looking at an empty stage?
RIGHT !!🤣🤣
Yep
Very funny 😂
Yep, but they apparently had monitors high above out of shot with the real time renders to view. So they had something, but kinda tricky to see if they were meant to be looking at the stage for the continuity of shots.
Sounds like the Background Dancers are on stage irl
I just started to watch this and Im already in love with this show
I loved this show! Great music, great performances, loved the monster characters and my favourite won 😍😍
Ive been waitin all day to watch it
love this show
We need more!
Wow!! This is certainly the future here and now.. I was inspired and became so emotional immersed in the performances… omg God so inspiring!!
How do judges judge the dancers when they can't see the dancers on the stage?
Supposedly there are screens there the audience and hosts can see the performances. But it's still unclear.
season 1 episode 1 minute 25:35 what they see is a hologram on stage and what we see on netflix is the edited version with shadows it's impressive!
@@anOmarG2zi just watched that part and didn’t see any hologram, what
My 7 year old dtr showed me this show and it was good and kid friendly! I would love to see more
Mom and I started watching this 3 days ago and I was just talking with her about when will we see the behind the scenes. Now seeing this I'm even more intrigued. Can't wait to see more of the show as well as more behind the scenes soon ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Their decision on episode 6 was incredibly stupid. Not going to spoil but it made no sense. It's an amazing show but the judging got weird at times.
I like dance monsters
Basically "furries and another type of fandom completely mixed in a vr world where everyone dances" basically any other competition but with vr characters that's all
P.D: vrchat already did it before and was elaborated by the community
that looks so cool.
The CGi is so good that this show really pulled it off.
Love this show!
So cool how far virtual production and real time rendering have come.
Am watching the show 😁 and am actualy loving it 🥰 its like watching animation and reality mixed out together 🤗👏
Dude, bring this back!!!!!!
Needs Tupac hologram tech to put them onstage. Missed opportunity.
What's the point of CGI of the judges can't see it in real time though
Great video
PLease, season 2 of this!!
This clip is so disingenuous it's untrue. The reality of what's actually happening on stage and behind the scenes is totally different than what's being portrayed. It wouldn't surprise me if the audience members have been forced to sign a non disclaimer form to keep the lie intact.
It's 100% accurate. They're dancing and being captured in real-time and shown to the judges and audience.
@@kennycushing4024 They can't render models that good in realtime lol. The audience is staring at nothing but the backup dancers or the dancer themself is just dancing and the viewer is the one to see the monster. There is 0 way the judges and audience are seeing what we see on the show. CGI and mocap doesn't work that way.
@@SohiHien They were shown a low res version live through monitors high up in the studio I believe. Empty stage but a version with poor looking real time renders just out of shot above. All the captured information from the performances would then be used to recreate everything by a VFX house to get the lighting/textures/clipping perfect. This was then cut back in during the post process.
@@Mark_Griffin Which is why I don't see the point, like what benefits do you get using mocap compared to actual suits? Lol. Audience and judges get to see a low res version of a mocap dance that's not even retargeted properly onto a rig which has comical proportions, then after everything is done and the judges give their opinions and supposedly already make their verdicts and voice their opinions, a few weeks or months later a vfx house with tech artists and animators go in and clean up the raw data to make it look actually presentable to people watching at home.... like, it's so unnecessary just make real practical suits... and this is coming from someone who works in the industry and has had to retarget and clean up raw mocap data before - it's great technology just the context of using it for a "live" performance is questionable...
@@deez3053 i feel like using suits would be more restrictive for the dancers tho
Wow 😮
I love dance monsters I really
Like Marsha’s super power proformence
Yes, I love this show, Roberta is my favourite, can you do a roberta netflix original
I had to come here as this looked too real on stage that my brain started to question this technology
All very nice but what are the judges judging? From this description they are looking at backing dancers and the monster isn't there. What are the crowd cheering?
My daughter loved it
In the Philippines we also have a dancing monster and he doesn't even need a CGI, we call him JOLLIBEE 😂
Marsha should of went home not flame she did the same repeated dance over and over
The funniest thing about this was you could tell who was going to be eliminated in the first 3 episodes because their character model wasn't as well rendered as everyone else. Like the jellyfish and the rock guy. The dancing for most wasn't very good I won't be watching the rest of it, it was just too weird.
tbh the dancing gets a LOT better in the later episodes
@@darao.4907 yea. I’m not a dancer so the dancing was amazing to me lol
So cool can you please do roberta dance of I'm alive by sia and her introduction from episode 2
Netflix should we use Tupac and the Miku holographic technology ,
Netflix Nah .
Hammer is......
Harvey Bass! He didn’t get revealed yet but I know it’s him because of that dance video of him in a cafeteria.
I STILL DIDN'T GET TO SEE THE FINAL-
They never explained what the judges are judging if the dancers are never on stage.
Woww
Make seoson2!
No this is my dream
Please season 2 please please please 😣
How do the judges and audience see their dances?
The next generation of Animation
Roberta the robot was eliminated too soon....
Casi nadie vio este video esos eran en verdad? Los amo 😗😘🤗
Have you hear about costumes?!
I wanna know how the judges evaluate a performance out of context like that? This is so confusing.
Can someone please explain how they reveal ? Are they actually on stage at that point? I’m so confused
I watched and it was a very weird Metauniverse experience. I came here wondering what the judges could actually see. Did they just judge a video clip after the fact?
Yes. That's exactly what they judged.
So judges knew their real faces from the beginning?
Season 2 🎉
So let me get this straight: Netflix didn’t have enough room in their budget to continue inside job, even though it is a very popular show, but they did have the money for a needlessly expensive version of the masked singer?
y’all are so hung up on the technology stuff 😭 suspend your disbelief for like two seconds and actually enjoy the performances damn
They aren't that good though. After seeing shows like America's best dance crew and America's got talent these dancers aren't anywhere on that level. This is hobby level dancing made more awkward by watching a weird creature do it.
None of them are impressive though 😂
可愛いのぉ"(∩>ω
I still don't understand. I mean I understand how I'm seeing them through the screen, but I don't understand how the people that are there (the panel and audience) are seeing them. Could someone please explain? Because they clearly say they are not on stage (at least not the stage that everyone there can see). I am assuming it is not a prerecorded dance, which means they are somewhere else in the building dancing at the same time as their backup dancers (if they have them). How do the audience and panel see the monsters dancing????
From what I’ve been reading, there’s a giant lcd screen on stage and the judges are seeing a live low-poly rendering in real time of the mocap performances backstage. The high resolution rendering is done in post.
Netflix being unwilling to reveal what the audience see has convinced me the whole thing is a lie. All scripted, acted, fake. Including the “audience” reactions.
Pongan subtitulos en español
How were they flying?
❤❤😂😂😂😂😮😊😊😊😊😊
Tech we pay for with outrageous sub prices. It's not anymore you get what you payed for, it's how much we can squeeze out of you.
The tech has existed for years, so, no. All they've done is combine three areas of tech - they've not invented them.
BLABLABLABLABLA BIAS ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽🤪🤐🤐
Fursuit dance competition
I think it should have more cartoon based animation 🤔🤔🤔
"Making something that nobody else is." VTuber agencies may not have this budget, but they are producing some impressive 3D motion capture concerts regardless.
how can i be a contestant on Season 2
the high tech of high techs
Ohh that's nifty, innit?
I think Roberta was one the best dancer.a
im still confuse dthough, do the judges see them on the stage as well as the audience? idk...
Need Simon and Paula to actually judge. We're trying to figure out what these three were looking at?? Is this dancing for Broadway or dancing? Saw great talent get ripped apart and swirls with no rhythm get praised. Done after episode three....and that's too long
En tonses no eran ologramas
Where's the screen they all watch the dance on?
this is really impresive, but I still don't know are the cg monsters on stage because the are judges looking at them live and SO MANY AUDIENCE JUST ENJOYING THE PERFORMANCE SO MUCH and I really enjoying it too
Ÿtþ
0:02
Idk what’s more worse mask singer or dance monsters 🤣
Netflix can you add Tokyo revengers season 1 and 2 I really want to watch it
I wonder if they make a season 2….
Oh knowing that the show is popular yes
I thought it was just people making a costume that moves when the real person is moving but the real person is at the back...
This show is good but the judges are questionable tho
I like jellifer
I don’t if I prefer this show than masked singer
Comment il fon pour voir sur séne c'est sa que je voulait comprendre moi 😢
Good concept but a lot of poor models, and even worse, the best dancer of them all got eliminated. The judges were going based on looks and personality and not dancing skills. They even pushed Grumby (or whatever) through despite saying he didn't do as good. Flame dominated. Accept.
I was really curious. I thought they were using hologram technology so the audience could see. Japan's mastering it atm and putting on some pretty good virtual concerts
furries who dont know they furries haha thx for this i was completely baffled
Hello, I'm Russian and I would like to star, in any cartoon movie in any role, all my life I dreamed of shooting in Hollywood movies I'm 17 years old, and I dream of becoming an actor from the age of 6.
All film people hear this plea from everyone. If you want the truth …Start dreaming about being an electrician.
So does the studio audience see the monster or not?
Wait there is one that no one used in the show 🤔
Może Wy się jeszcze zajmiecie hodowlą jedwabników ?
I cannot see the litteral monster...
This is cooler and simpler than avatar
Nowhere near. If you watched the 'making of' for Avatar you'd understand why.
I can’t seem to get into the show. Dancing to me is a language that needs to be expressed with movement as much as facial expressions. I couldn’t interpret the emotions expressed in the dancing when the technology isn’t capturing the human aspects clearly.
