My brother and I have been watching film riot for 7 years now and I want to tell you how much we have learned. We both are professionals now and I can't go on without thanking you guys.
A really simple horror effect I love is having a character drawn by a mysterious sound to something else and then finding it's either silent or an inanimate object still sounding off. 'The Innocents' is a great example of that in particular.
That "staring contest" one is jarring as HELL because I legit got full-body chills and it's just the right amount of WTF is that? She doesn't LOOK like anything specific you recognize, which gives you this really unsettling feeling because you don't know WHAT the hell you're seeing. It's like at the end of LIGHTS OUT, the short... that flippin MONSTER thing and the second you see of it is scarier than MOST horror films from the last couple decades!
DUDE Ryan, you gotta update the Projector ghost effect with Unreal engine and a camera tracker. You could have fully handheld moving shots with a ghost tracked to whatever area in the house you hang the fabric. It would eliminate the need for a large scale expensive projector or LED wall, and it would give the effect so much more depth, as you'd be able to build mask objects for furniture to occlude the ghost and interact with items around the room. This would truly be a virtual production that is accessible to indie creators in a way it's never been seen before. I have such a good idea on how this could be pulled off, reach out and I'd be happy to explain the idea further!
speaking as someone who also has very long hair, it's just worth me reiterating - emily is am absolute trooper. fake blood and hair is a true test of character & patience.
I use one of your tricks, from another episode, in a short film that won a category award at a Canadian festival, this year...I had forgotten to thank you, guys. You're all great, all the team 😁👍
Love these more classic episodes❤!! Ever since u guys did so many videos about AI, I was kinda disappointed and lost interest in ur channel… I mean u were always known for making filmmaking accessible to everyone with the talent and interest, not replace them. If I pretend like I didn’t see ur ad, this episode was really good tho!
"Content Aware" AI tool saves the day again. I cant say how much thankful I am for it The hose technique is called Squibs or something. I love it, its safer than explosives.
These are cool but I don't think that much blood would actually shoot out forward from the skin around the windpipe. It looks pretty gruesome in the shot but not realistic at all. It would basically split open and ooze down from the now open capillaries in a slower fashion with much less blood but.... movies are rarely realistic. That stare contest, though.... hehehe I would have won because I would NOT blink at that point!
Hey Film riot, could you make a video explaining the workflow of adding visual effecten in AE on log footage while color grading in Davinci Resolve? Thanks! Great video btw this is the kind of stuff I followed you for!
I am a beginner in film and I love what you guys do. Is there a tutorial playlist where I can start slowly and learn with you guys with a slower tutorial?
@@filmriot thank you!! I am sure more people will love a full tutorial playlist and it would help massively because you guys are Really good at what you do and I want to be as good as you!! Looking forward to the tutorials!!!
Hey Ryan Been a long time since I’ve watched film riot so thought I’d come by see what’s up. Seems you guys are doing well which is awesome but dude, what the hell is that shit on your ear 😅. Did you lose a bet or something? Also are you considering moving over to resolve ?
Look. I don't wanna downplay how amazing it is they did all this in after effects with masks. This is truly an idiot asking a question do he can learn... But why not just separate all those layers in Photoshop and import the Photoshop layers, then do all the extra after effects stuff? Seems like wayyyy to much work to make 30+ masks rather than just paint it out in Photoshop.
