Making Of Gravity 

Debasish Patro I've just watched it today but it's already one of my favorite movies ever.

*cries in multicore

I think he said 13,000.... but still, jeez

+contmike What are nodes. I mean I know what they are in general computing terms, but what are they and what kind of rendering time do they relate to in VFX?

+VibeCentral | Amazing Deep and Tropical House! Generally, they are likely talking about 13,000 processor cores, in server rack type machiens using Xeon processors, they are probably blade-type machines using dual Xeons in each blade. Figure around 400 machines (generally, figure 12 cores per cpu on average, with a portion of them having only 8, and another portion of them having 16, so average it) As for the actual render times, in 3D an hour to several hours per frame is still common in feature films. Scene complexity keeps increasing on a par with computer speed increases, so that never really goes down. Compositing render times, people never really discuss but it is usually considerable lower than the 3d render times.

+VibeCentral | Amazing Deep and Tropical House! Nodes in this case refer to the composition nodes used in Nuke for compositing, like Blend, Blur, HSL, Levels etc... The more complex the composition graph is, the higher the render times are. Search for 'Nuke compositing tutorial' on youtube to see what I mean.

Is that our lord and saviors name you are taking in vain???? How dare you?! Nodes schmodes! I choose not to associate with those sorts of people I won't have the displeasure of associating with in the hereafter. TURN OR BURN, sinner! HAIL JESUS!

They are the cinematic equivalent to the cilia which are in your colon. We need them for proper digestion of food, but given the wrong stimuli they can cause problems. Most notably, when you combine greasy foods with a night out drinking. In my case, and presumably in the case of all people with chronic IBS, it causes explosive/projectile diarrhea early the next morning. And that is a great inconvenience. Similarly, nodes within the world of film post-production are temperamental, and must be treated with respect, never exceeding the amount of computational power they are designed for. Or.....your get cinematic diarrhea. And that is a great inconvenience. Once, despite knowing better, I had a cheese quesadilla (with guac) from Taco Heaven on 124th street and Broadway after drinking excessively at The Regal Beagle, with my dear friends Janet and Chrissy. After soiling my bed linens in the most horrific fashion imaginable (considering I had a bed-guest that evening), I vowed never to make that mistake again. 11 months later I did. We truly are our worst enemy. I sincerely hope this helps with your understanding of nodes, and the important role they play.

You can use every color you want as a "green" screen. Green and blue are just the most common because it usually is not used in the things being filmed.

@@heaventje But their suits were white tho

@@huzzzer6083 It's a different shade. They select the backdrop color/shade to be altered. Just look up some informational videos about green screens if you want. I'm not an expert about it. :p

+Rads Per Second Im a one of them, and I love both, wondering myself if Hans Zimmer would have made the OST of this one...I bet the whole experience would be x100, no bad the original OST tho

dont be ashole , both are difference and unique creation, no comparison

Rads Per Second yes you deserve it..

Shhhhhhhh! They don't wanna hear that! Don't upset them! It won't go well.

Nothing "awful" about Interstellar. Gravity is certainly made for an easier-to-please audience, that's for sure.

Unemotional? If you didn't feel anything, you're not human

oR3Io hmm... maybe that the case :p, but seriously- I've seen better, for me Gravity was unemotional because the characters were blend and shallow- you don't get attach to them because of their humanity, all sorts of stuff happened and that's all. If you want see what I meen, then watch Full Metal Jacket or Hamlet with Mel Gigson- those movies take you from one spectrum of emotion to the other. And the characters are way better established.

this is an disaster movie, and they both are alone in space, after the worste thing with clooney, she is alone to do herself saved back to the earth, without an idea of all this tech-things!!! and all with very long 360° camways!!! and all this with fantastic soundtracks!!! and you say this movie isn't emotional????? are you a dumbass!?!? just 1 question i have: why is sunshine not in 3d too!!!??? :'( XD they 2 are the best real scifi movies ever!!

nobody asked you.

@@Supernov4 He's right tho. This film is closer to a Michael Bay production, than it isn't. It's a mass-appeal film. Sure, it's not as cheesy as Transformers, but it's pretty far from a film like Interstellar. Don't be mad that you get easily played by films, emotionally. Most people do. But to find fault with this guys comment because he's spewing truth? "you're not human? LOLOL What does that say? The characters ARE shallow. It's a film our grandmothers and soccer-moms in Alabama would adore, and all that such a thing says about it. Easy-to-digest, simplistic, typical big-budget film for the masses. What it does have going for it however, makes up for at least some of it's writing and character simplicity. The effects were interesting and entertaining to watch. But had they combined that with a far better story, and free of silly/implausible nonsense and corny comic relief, it might have elevated it to something both the film nerds, kids, dads with pudding stains on their shirts, and the easily entertained masses.... all declaring as a masterpiece. On a side note, it's difficult to un-hear Sandra Buttock screeching "WHAT DO I DO? WHAT DO I DO?" over and over again. Wish they'd cast someone else in that role.
