Wow man. I remember seeing you at the cool kids table getting stabbed with forks! I was in the losers club so yeah didn't actually get to see you or talk to you muchbut yeh ur cool.
It genuinely is a shame that stunt performers don't have a category at the Oscars. I genuinely appreciate their stories in this channel, and the channel for having them. I hope they get industry recognition someday soon.
If they are relatives to someone rich in hollywood, if they have business together, etc., they can get something, thats how it works. And yes there is no such thing as being "fair" in real life. Pitifully.
As nice as it would be to reward stunt actors' accomplishments, there is a pretty sound reasoning behind it. Having an award for stunt performances encourages one-upmanship on stunts that are already highly dangerous without the incentive of award. Having a stunt Oscar could POTENTIALLY further push directors and stunt coordinators to further lax safety standards for "The Shot", and potentially get more stunt actors killed. Not to say I 100% agree it would be as bad as theorized, I can't justifiably argue with the reasoning.
@@trilliongold They could judge said stunt category based on safety too. If it was done safely but looks stunning and dangerous, it should get the award.
@@trilliongold doesn't have to be a competition of who does the most outrageous. A huge part of it is clearly keeping people safe, the choreography, working with the camera crew to get the shots that sell it. Doing something unique, and well executed, doesn't mean it's more dangerous, actually the opposite.
Okay but, despite this being comedy The saying "Maybe CGI isn't ruining movies, maybe the way movies are filmed is ruining CGI" is actually so true tho
And if you think about it, the fact that he is purposefully such a low quality "digi-double" pushes the point even further that you can empathize with anything. I mean yeah its a comedy video but at the end of the day the character comes off as relatable, and the video is good. So maybe CGI really doesn't need to be perfect, just executed well. And CGI artists definitely need more thanks, movies these days especially rely on them for upwards of 10% of the entire movie after all.
I think the most important thing is his flat almost apathetic demeanor and deliver. its that whole beaten down by the system apathy, like depression psychosis where he's just so worn down he has no emotion left to convey. It just conveys a very real sadness
I love living in the timeline where Joel Haver is making it in the world and cross-collabing with my other faves because that man is just a delight and deserves all the good things. This also made me die laughing but that was just a nice cherry on top. Loved this.
This does such a good job at being disarmingly funny then hitting with a random piece of harsh reality, like how stunt men don’t have any Oscar recognition despite putting in so much work.
I heard they don’t have awards for stunts because that could be dangerous. Everyone one upping each other every year for clout. If that’s true, that sucks, but it makes sense for the safety of that industry
It's literally impossible to not like Joel. He's only been recently resurrected after dying from a Soviet era mine and he's doing collabs with the kings of youtube SFX.
That part of Gui not being invited to the premiere.. man.. that actually got real there. If that is indeed what happened it really sucks and it does feel very unfair.
Yeah that was a real bummer. Between that and the academy not rewarding stunt performers, they’re getting shafted. These are people who put their bodies on the line to make the “talent” look good, they deserve recognition.
@@TheIndependentLiberal No; in academia, listing contributors as co-authors and citing all the references for background information and methodology is extremely important. The leader of a larger research group or laboratory often is the *last* author. A lower-ranking team member who did most of the work for a particular project comes first.
I gotta say, stroke of genius getting Joel Haver. The guy who made "Lanky Kong listens to DK Rap for the first time" is absolutely perfect for a video about a janky motion-tracked animated man who's left disillusioned and degraded by the Hollywood machine.
Be careful. Had a Nature Valley bar while watching the video with my son, wasn't paying enough attention, now I can't find him under the crumbs. Hang in there, Charles! Daddy's coming to get you!
the part where they go to hug and they just clip around each other is so funny, and I love that you picked gui to go over the top of CGI joel instead of just pasting CGI joel over gui which would have been the easy way, you actually rotoscoped gui out to do that
I know they could have had Gui's hand not phase through Joel at the hug (9:58) but its so much funnier that it does. haha Thanks for all the hard work and great stuff you all do!
You guys should make this thing with cameramen. Especially in anime, like how when goku and jiren were fighting, the cameraman is also there in the middle of it.
@@romank90 Doesn't have to be animé really... It could just be general cartoons or CGI (like in the League of Legends show Arcane)... Just a thought. :)
This is an awesome sketch, but also an amazing critique on the undercut that the CGI artists in Hollywood end up with. Thanks for putting this out there Corridor! And of course, Joel is a legend for collaborating.
I like how it just ends on "I'll outlive you all, I literally do not die, suck it" like okay idk if you took the right message out of this exchange Joel, ye darn psycho
Damn, the white studio part... started off as a joke, ended up as a really emotional story. That just shows, how story always wins. Beatuful editing and story direction - congrats!
Although it's an entirely fictional character created just for comic purposes I felt I could see where all of that came from. Like it is something with roots in a deep appreciation for all the guys involved in producing shorts/movies out there, just like doubles and especial effects. Always a wholesome guy. Loved the colab.
Man, I didn't see this collab coming in a thousand years, caught me with my pants down, but this is unironically the greatest collaboration you'll see on RU-vid. Two legends. Best guest, best host, and completely funny. I don't know why but I feel like this was Sam's idea LOL
Brilliant. Pulled laughs out my soul i didn't know i was holding back. A lovely message lives in this work to remember all of the TEAMS of INDIVIDUALS working hard together. COLLABORATION is the beauty of our society. Thank you, everyone.
Joel, your sense of humor is the real uncanny valley. So poignant and slap-sticky at the same time. I hope that, in 1000 years, you are still around, just doing your thing.
As to be expected with anything involving Joel, this is one of the most original ideas I've ever seen executed on RU-vid. Well done. Loved this. Glad digital stunt doubles are getting their recognition!
I was getting pretty emotional during the interview... Joel felt to me in that like an avatar for every CGI artist who's suffered under the weight of the Disney crunch of late. Then the laugh... our guy Joel is a genius... nobody does the closing twist like Joel!
You gotta love Joel's room mate! She has such intersting character! I love the interaction Joel and she had. She really seem to be a really cool person. I want to hang out with her sometime.
As we get closer to the holidays, it's important we remember all the good things in our lives, and the people who make those good things come true. It's digi-doubles like Joel and Barry who make our dreams come true. If you find yourself looking out the window into the cgi-rain that's being shot onto a green screen, light a candle for all the doubles. They deserve it.
One of my favorite shorts you guys have ever done! Setting aside the technicalities - this is one of the most genuine and grounded stories you guys have told. And then the concept, execution, and tech on this are next level. Also, having Gui play himself was genius. Really, really good stuff!!
This was really beautiful. Not only is Joel funny and incredibly talented, but you can just tell he's a good person. Someone who would do anything to help a person in need, just because it's the right thing to do. Through all the jokes and silliness, I always feel that that shines through in Joel's videos, and that's why they always make me smile.
I only watch two channels pretty religiously, and it's Joels and Corridor Crew, so this is awesome to see them collab. Also, I suppose this what actually happened when Joel stepped on that Soviet-issued WWII era landmine.
this is a great video. tells a story whilst being funny and self-aware without taking itself too seriously. the comments on cgi and lack of 'official' recognition of stunt actors is well-integrated but still makes its' point. moments like the clipping through during the hug are brilliant as a hilarious contrast to the 'deep' documentary style of the video. amazing work!
I knew there was eventually going to be a Corridor/Joel Haver collaboration, but I didn't expect it to be this awesome. This was a really fun story. Joel, Corridor Crew, thank you for this.
Was cool seeing Gui acknowledge that he was replaced with a CGI double as Black Panther cos in previous videos he always talked like it was him on screen
