Oh heck yes! “Bedknobs and Broomsticks” is one of my favorite movies from childhood. Animation with real life Puppeteering with real life Explosions Transformations
I haven’t seen it in ages, so I can’t point to any specific scene, but the film “Bedknobs and Broomsticks” is full of old pre-computer VFX. Would love to see some of those tricks broken down!
Ant-Man is so underrated when it comes to the MCU. The train track fight sequence is one of the most inventive, entertaining, and unique things Marvel has ever done.
Ant-Man was such a better movie than i was expecting, i finally went back and watched every MCU movie since 2008 just over the past few weeks and Ant-Man was one I had missed. I liked the sequel a lot as well! Really creative and felt different than all of the other Marvel characters.
There is a really solid scene in Star Trek: First Contact where they have to walk on the outside of the enterprise and it has barely aged 25 years later.
@Gareth Fairclough The saucer crash was largely practical too. The saucer entering the atmosphere was multipass model shots, shot with motion control cameras, and the actual crash was a model crashing into a giant 100x40 foot miniature terrain set. Destroyed the camera to get the shot, if memory serves.
Yeah that was a good looking scene. Shame the writing for it wasnt that great.... "Dont shoot, you might hit the dish, its charged with anti protons, it could blow up half the ship......." .........procedes to intentionally shoot the dish. 🤔
There’s this scene is Kira knightly’s pride and prejudice where she stares at a mirror and the day goes on behind her that I still question how it’s done. It’s probably pretty simple, but still blows my mind. Also, anything from crimson peak. Those ghost effects are insane.
That’s just in a set and they just change the lighting. It’s really simple. If you have the DVD or Blu-Ray just listen to the commentary on that scene.
Flight of the Navigator did some amazing tricks back in 1986. Captain Disillusion did a really good break down. Would be fun to see how much the Corridor Crew can figure out. I'm expecting your minds to be blown too.
I think like a mini series called "HOW"D THEY DO THAT?!" where you ask the guests how they think a shot was done and you breakdown what they actually did. I love the little info dumps mid react videos but a series would be awesome because old VFX are super creative.
as a vfx artist myself i'm in absolute awe of that wizard of oz - the whole scene with all the wind is full of so much atmos - the tornado trick is just so well done and obviously could be done better today but in that wider shot its just the icing on the cake.
I gave up after a year of asking, but decided to come back. Someday someone will notice me! I believe a single voice has a chance: SPIDERMAN 3: The Birth of Sandman Scene
I don’t recall this being a notable scene, but now I’m curious. I would also love to see an episode that breaks down all of the best and worst cgi from all the Spider-Man movies.
I LOVE when you go back to old school VFX and guess how they did it, Special effects were such an amazing artform and give gravitas to the effect as you know it was done before computers, so the creativity involved to pull it off is what is extremely captivating about what you see on screen.
The movie that sold me on the idea of finding out how movies are made was the old CLASH OF THE TITANS. The scale of the Kraken and the actors was mind blowing to see together.
There is an old egyptian movie called "سر طاقية الإخفاء" or "The secret of the invisibility cap (hat)" which has the actor upper half hidden while his legs are shown.. you should try to check it out.
I know it’s all practical, but I would love a breakdown of Jeff Goldblum becoming The Fly. Also, I think video game production is just as fascinating as film production. I’ve seen Wren, Peter and Sam all do video game stuff. Do you think you guys could do a couple episodes reacting to mechanics and graphics in games? I would love to know how old games like Mario and Pac-Man were made compared to Halo or Shadow of War, and especially highlighting some of the groundbreaking games like Doom or the transition to 3D. Looking forward to more content!
They do gaming stuff for fun mostly and just to see if its doable. From what Ive seen they dont have much general knowledge of gamedev (Only Sam is diving into Unreal and its mostly for moviemaking, animating and rendering from what Ive understand). Its much more complicated than just effects and not that interesting, seriously xd It would be a really shallow dive in such format also. There is too much complicity in gamedev. Its basically all the media smashed together + programming, design and mechanics. Its far too much for a youtube video. Maybe they could invite Brandon to say something more, but its still would have been a longer episode and I bet those guys dont have much time if they are doing gamedev in the first place xd
Love to see your guys thoughts on the Directors cut ending of Little shop of horrors (Or just little shop of horrors in general). Genuinely some of the most incredible and impressive practical effects I've seen in a film, especially for the time.
I love this channel and this series in particular, it’s a joy to keep on discovering just how much ingenuity and effort goes into creating effects so good that most audiences don’t even notice, because the effects contribute so much to the story. They are a means of telling the filmmakers’ stories. It’s cool that you guys break down the artists’ stories too. As for old effects, I’d love to see you break down some of the scenes in The Invisible Man from 1933!
As a Kevin, I thought the calls to action were cool. A little weird to be singled out, but cool. I’d also like to nominate Ian as the next name to be used.
The circle cut out, when the actress fell underground during the explosion, reminded me of the cut out scene from Underworld, when Kate's character did the same thing when she was being pursued by werewolves, but she had a double gun system, and the cut out kind of looked more 'accurate' with uneven edges of the circle. It was pretty cool imo. Love the movie too, Underworld, not the Resident Evil one. I haven't seen it but recognized the characters costume, aside from the umbrella logo.
“Speaking of older movies, there’s this one called ‘Honey, I Shrunk The Kids’ which came out the year I was born.” WREN IS 32?? HE LOOKS 10 YEARS YOUNGER.
I feel like a whole episode could be dedicated to Jim Henson’s The Labyrinth. The costumes, the CGI Owl (first CG Animal, apparently), the crystal balls, the stair scene, and so much more!
I felt proud of myself for figuring out the Wizard of Oz trick about 20 seconds before he explained it. Honestly it reminded me of old physical ride Tech for stuff like at Disneyland. Specifically the soul tornado or whatever it is in the Indiana Jones ride. It's pretty much the exact same concept
For an interesting evolution of FX take a look at Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds. Original was miniatures and puppets, then there was a live action movie, and the latest is miniatures and CGI.
This was a fantastic blast from the past, with some great views of some very well made effects for old movies! Oh, and then there is that shoddy bit that you delightfully tore apart. Great video!
I agree with the previous suggestion about that old parting of the Red Sea scene from 1923. I remember being at my grandmothers house with only 3 channels and that being the only thing on. As a kid that scene would baffle me. There are some other special effects in the movie as well, but that scene in particular was pretty amazing for the time.
For Animators React: Sony's "Wish Dragon," on Netflix. There's a scene early on where two kids are holding onto a kite string, and getting dragged across rooftops. At one point, they get dragged under a clothes line. Their faces catch the clothing and pull it off the line. Near as I can tell, however, the clothes line remains up, and they don't let go of the kite string. The kite string and the clothes line just kinda clip through each other. Pretty jank for a moneyed company like Sony. It also has some interesting fight choreography, too, so you can maybe do a compliment sandwich of the film.
You should react to the CGI in the Robin Williams movie "What Dreams May Come". It used special effects in a really creative way that we haven't seen since then. I would love some insight into how they might have created those images.
There's a scene in another Fred Astaire movie called "Easter Parade", and it's during the dance sequence for the song "Steppin' Out With My Baby" where the dancers in the back are moving at normal speed, but Fred Astaire is dancing in slow motion in front of them. I'd love to see you guys react to that scene, as well as all sorts of movies from the 1920's, 30's and so on, it's always fun to see a breakdown of how they made those movies back then. Also, fun fact: the movie Easter Parade also stars Judy Garland from The Wizard of Oz.
There are some incredible effects in the original Invisible man. I watched the other night and whilst there are some that stand out some are so seamless
One movie I always found fascinating was the valley of gwangi. Stop-motion effects were done by the late, great Ray Harryhausen, and there is a scene in that movie where the Allosaurus is inside a church/cathedral and there is a guy trying to escape it. You guys should watch that scene, and figure out how it was done without looking it up online how Harryhausen did it. And one of my other favorites is the scene where the Cowboys are lassoing the Allosaurus. It's insane how you can see the lassos going from the Cowboys on to the stop-motion Allosaurus and holding on.
I love breakdowns of old films, they are simply more inventive and ingenious than modern vfx techniques. Keep em coming! How about a breakdown of The Terminator, Legend, He-Man, Bill and Ted, Poltergeist...heck any number of 80s movies!
Hey guys! One of my all-time favorite movies is the classic 'the Invisible Man', 1933 version, starring Claude Rains. The effects always blow me away when I watch it.
When I was a kid there was a scene in "james and the giant peach" that scarred me and left me with multiple nightmares as a child (the cloud rhino scene). I haven't watched the movie in a while but it freaked me out as a kid and I can't remember if it was great vfx or not but that scene is engrained in my mind so vividly. And I would love to see y'all talk about it one day! Also love everything you guys do! And most importantly, y'all people watching need to subscribe!
I've loved learning about the science, problem solving skills and creativity used in making a good film. It's given me a next level respect for the craft.
Thanks for the freak out! hahaha I really appreciate that you guys have respect for the pre-computer FX work in films. I'd be curious to see you guys step outside of your comfort zones. Do something using mainly the old techniques and in-camera effects, then do the same shots over using your computer wizardry. Then compare the results based on the quality of the final products, time invested in each, and budget costs. Is everything faster, less expensive, and better with computer FX?
Bedknobs and Broomsticks would be a great movie to look at for this series. It brings together lots of different effects! Specifically the animated clothing and armor, and the cartoon world shots.
Absolutely. I was always so intrigued by the inhuman transformations when they get consumed by the shell, and also Ward when he's infected by the parasite and all the crazy things he does
I still remember just absolutely losing it in the theaters when the little train just knocks over in that scene, it caught me so perfectly that I was laughing so hard I was wheezing and squeaking because I couldn't breathe.
Speaking of older movie effects like Wizard of Oz, Cecil B. DeMille's epic The Ten Commandments from 1923 had some ground breaking special effects for the time. Specifically the parting of the sea. I heard that every drop of water in that scene was practically shot and composited together. 3 parts always fascinated me…1) the parting, 2) walking through and then 3) the water closing back. I think there is/was a replica of this effect at universal studios (?). Just curious how that was done in 1923.
Ya'll gotta react to AI: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. It had a brilliant mix of practical and CG effects. You gotta talk about Teddy (the first animatronic character to have such a huge amount of screen time and has way more points of motion than the T-rex from Jurassic park), the robots during the garbage dump and Flesh Fair scenes (which was very challenging to film because there were so many of them that had to be hand operated) and the technology they used that allowed them to see the digital environment on a monitor in real time as they're filming. Check out this channel (th-cam.com/users/thesingerofthebandsearch?query=a.i.) for DVD featurettes of the VFX breakdowns. The Stan Winston School channel also has a bunch of videos on demoing the animatronic characters.
The Oz tornado used glass panels with cotton balls up high moving in opposite directions to look like clouds and hide the gantry. Its a great effect but actually a big mistake, as tornadic supercells and their wall-clouds rotate entirely in one direction so the opposite-moving cloud wall should be behind the twister
at the time though, it could be passed off as being accurate though as I doubt most people recorded survivor accounts of tornadoes for knowledge later on.
It's pretty good for the time though. And honestly every movie fucks up tornadoes. I live in tornado alley and have seen them in person, and nobody can resist the temptation to make them move faster than they acutally do IRL. They either spin at the equivalent of 500mph or they move across the ground at 200mph. Real tornadoes are plodding and ominous, but I get why that doesn't really translate to the 'energy' of a film scene.
Given today's analysis of "Honey I Shrunk the Kids", maybe an entire episode on miniaturization in movies. One that particularly stands out is "The Indian in the Cupboard". Cheers!
For old effects: "The Ten Commandments", both the 1956 and 1923 versions. In particular, the parting of the Red Sea (the '56 version also has matte paintings and a fiery pillar).
The entirety of Pete’s dragon always blew my mind as a kid since I knew that the dragon wasn’t actually there, but Pete interacts with Elliot a lot. Not to mention the scenes where Elliot is invisible and causes havoc around town

I'd love to see you guys react to that scene, as well as all sorts of movies from the 1920's, 30's and so on, it's always fun to see a breakdown of how they made those movies back then.
Also, fun fact: the movie Easter Parade also stars Judy Garland from The Wizard of Oz.
Another old one: the 1933 invisible man. One of the only movies where the effects made my jaw actually drop
Any scene in particular?
@@MinorKey135 the one where he first unravels his bandages, and then a shirt dances around the room, then he rides away on a bicycle
There are some incredible effects in the original Invisible man. I watched the other night and whilst there are some that stand out some are so seamless
One movie I always found fascinating was the valley of gwangi. Stop-motion effects were done by the late, great Ray Harryhausen, and there is a scene in that movie where the Allosaurus is inside a church/cathedral and there is a guy trying to escape it. You guys should watch that scene, and figure out how it was done without looking it up online how Harryhausen did it. And one of my other favorites is the scene where the Cowboys are lassoing the Allosaurus. It's insane how you can see the lassos going from the Cowboys on to the stop-motion Allosaurus and holding on.
I love breakdowns of old films, they are simply more inventive and ingenious than modern vfx techniques. Keep em coming! How about a breakdown of The Terminator, Legend, He-Man, Bill and Ted, Poltergeist...heck any number of 80s movies!
The show “the expanse” has some cool special effects that you guys should review.
That Ant-Man fight with the toy train had me laughing so hard. The gag with the train is just brilliant.
Hey guys! One of my all-time favorite movies is the classic 'the Invisible Man', 1933 version, starring Claude Rains. The effects always blow me away when I watch it.
I am curious how in the movie "Pete's Dragon," the original one, how did they film Pete riding on Elliot while Elliot was invisible?
My guess would be wires and stuff like that... but I can’t remember what that scene looks like
When I was a kid there was a scene in "james and the giant peach" that scarred me and left me with multiple nightmares as a child (the cloud rhino scene). I haven't watched the movie in a while but it freaked me out as a kid and I can't remember if it was great vfx or not but that scene is engrained in my mind so vividly. And I would love to see y'all talk about it one day! Also love everything you guys do! And most importantly, y'all people watching need to subscribe!
I maintain that rhino is TERRIFYING. Pretty sure it's why I'm scared of like any obscenely large creature in movies
Old VFX: Bed-knobs and Broomstick.
The suits of armor fighting the Nazis.

Was just about to say hahaha. I second this!
Oh my.... yes that movie was excellent, and a lot of "howwwww?!" when watching it as a kid.
Oh my god YES!!!
Pleeeeeeaase do more old vfx!! Guessing black tights and being right was so satisfying, feel like a digital detective 📽🔍
I've loved learning about the science, problem solving skills and creativity used in making a good film. It's given me a next level respect for the craft.
“Darby O'Gill and the Little People” do the banshee. It’s kinda obvious now but that effect terrified me as a kid
Do the leprechauns from ‘Darby’! Amazing forced perspective work.
The nostalgia train hit me hard on “honey i shrunk the kid”
I had such a crush on Amy as a prepubescent boy back in the early 90's
Thanks for the freak out! hahaha I really appreciate that you guys have respect for the pre-computer FX work in films. I'd be curious to see you guys step outside of your comfort zones. Do something using mainly the old techniques and in-camera effects, then do the same shots over using your computer wizardry. Then compare the results based on the quality of the final products, time invested in each, and budget costs. Is everything faster, less expensive, and better with computer FX?

I remember seeing Ant-Man leaked footage waaaaay back when. It completely blew my mind.
We came to expect extraordinary VFX since then.
“I run into my own furniture at that speed like... quite frequently”
This made every Kevin’s day, including mine 😆
Bedknobs and Broomsticks would be a great movie to look at for this series. It brings together lots of different effects! Specifically the animated clothing and armor, and the cartoon world shots.
Really hope "Kevin" is a fan and you get him on the show.
We need an Rated R version of Fred Astair shooting the dancing shoes.

You should look at Agents of Shield. There’s some pretty good stuff in there
Second this
That’s my favorite show
Yes! It’s so underrated. They should talk about the ghost rider stuff in S4
Absolutely. I was always so intrigued by the inhuman transformations when they get consumed by the shell, and also Ward when he's infected by the parasite and all the crazy things he does
@@BigFatSammich Along with the stunts
I still remember just absolutely losing it in the theaters when the little train just knocks over in that scene, it caught me so perfectly that I was laughing so hard I was wheezing and squeaking because I couldn't breathe.
1993 “Fire In The Sky”. The Alien Abduction flash back is so real and terrifying. Just watched last night and still holds up today.
I agree! The effects in the abduction were surprisingly good!
Speaking of older movie effects like Wizard of Oz, Cecil B. DeMille's epic The Ten Commandments from 1923 had some ground breaking special effects for the time. Specifically the parting of the sea. I heard that every drop of water in that scene was practically shot and composited together. 3 parts always fascinated me…1) the parting, 2) walking through and then 3) the water closing back. I think there is/was a replica of this effect at universal studios (?). Just curious how that was done in 1923.
Yes!! That scene is fantastic for 1923

Ya'll gotta react to AI: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. It had a brilliant mix of practical and CG effects. You gotta talk about Teddy (the first animatronic character to have such a huge amount of screen time and has way more points of motion than the T-rex from Jurassic park), the robots during the garbage dump and Flesh Fair scenes (which was very challenging to film because there were so many of them that had to be hand operated) and the technology they used that allowed them to see the digital environment on a monitor in real time as they're filming. Check out this channel (th-cam.com/users/thesingerofthebandsearch?query=a.i.) for DVD featurettes of the VFX breakdowns. The Stan Winston School channel also has a bunch of videos on demoing the animatronic characters.
This is my like I don’t wanna change it from 69
I love how this video implies that Jake sleeps at the office.
The Oz tornado used glass panels with cotton balls up high moving in opposite directions to look like clouds and hide the gantry. Its a great effect but actually a big mistake, as tornadic supercells and their wall-clouds rotate entirely in one direction so the opposite-moving cloud wall should be behind the twister
at the time though, it could be passed off as being accurate though as I doubt most people recorded survivor accounts of tornadoes for knowledge later on.
It's pretty good for the time though. And honestly every movie fucks up tornadoes. I live in tornado alley and have seen them in person, and nobody can resist the temptation to make them move faster than they acutally do IRL. They either spin at the equivalent of 500mph or they move across the ground at 200mph. Real tornadoes are plodding and ominous, but I get why that doesn't really translate to the 'energy' of a film scene.
Given today's analysis of "Honey I Shrunk the Kids", maybe an entire episode on miniaturization in movies. One that particularly stands out is "The Indian in the Cupboard". Cheers!
Would be a good episode
Suggestion: Old vs new Doctor Who. Some of the old stuff was really laughable. Also The different opening sequences are like a history of VFX.
For old effects: "The Ten Commandments", both the 1956 and 1923 versions. In particular, the parting of the Red Sea (the '56 version also has matte paintings and a fiery pillar).
Nico is so damn good at breaking things down for amateurs.
Spiderwick chronicles has some of the best CG characters I have ever scene.
Yes!!
I would love a spiderwick chronicles episode. I adored the books and enjoyed the movie.
You guys should look at “What Happened To Monday” the twin effect is so good. 7 of them and they all interact
That movie was excellent!! The scene towards the beginning when they’re all hanging out at home is great VFX
Also some scenes in Orphan Black when they're all together and interacting, like the season 2 finale episode I think.
I was Comp Sup for that Ant-Man sequence at DNEG. Hands down my favourite show ever. Amazing team. Super proud of it.
The entirety of Pete’s dragon always blew my mind as a kid since I knew that the dragon wasn’t actually there, but Pete interacts with Elliot a lot. Not to mention the scenes where Elliot is invisible and causes havoc around town
When I was a kid, this movie convinced me Elliot was real and I was so Sade when he never showed up
,,Look at the walls around you, they are probably made out of lumber"

This is just a thanks for the “fan technology” jokes got me every time.
