Hollow Man, boy that was a blast from the past!. I did the lighting of about half of those shots you showed for the smoke extinguisher sequence. It was my very first film and for the life of me I don't know why they would assigned those to me. I spent months thinking "I'm getting fired any minute now", but the VFX supervisor Craig Hayes really talked me through the whole thing day by day in dailies. The lighting comp was pretty close to the final comp and is one of the reasons these shots look so good to this day. And by they way, that was all old fashion lighting and comp tricks done in Renderman, no global illumination or PBR anything back then.

@ericcannon222 9 месяцев назад

>>I spent months thinking "I'm getting fired any minute now" Coming from the video game industry, you'd be amazed how often this mindset has produced absolutely insane performances from junior staff. I think only Scott-Cawthon-esque "I'll show YOU" spite is more powerful than "I can't let anyone know I've got no idea what I'm doing so I'm just going to go completely HAM" fear in terms of mountain-moving talent showcases. XD

@choronos 9 месяцев назад

Not to put a damper on what you guys are saying, but that "I'm being fired any second" mentality is ubiquitous among the working class in America, and is the result of insane wealth inequality. Sure, that type of pressure can help creatives achieve some great art, but don't lose sight of the fact that the people in charge of the money are paying you a fraction of the value you generate for the company. In a sane and civilized society, no one would fear being fired, because being fired wouldn't result in destitution and homelessness.

@@choronos agreed that it's an unhealthy state to be in, but they were commenting on the work results not the morality. Something can be extremely efficient but morally dubious at the same time.

@GeoffreyToday 10 месяцев назад

Here's a recommendation. The creators of The X-Files made a sci-fi series for fox that was one of the first tv series to use extensive photo realistic CG. It was called Space: Above and Beyond, and the work they did remains impressive even today. In addition to the things you'd expect (spaceships and dogfights) there's a ton of CG that flew under everyone's radar in the form of set extensions. The FX house that did much of the work was called Area 51, I believe they also worked on the movie Lord of illusion.

@MattMeier 10 месяцев назад

That was a solid show for its time

@jasonblalock4429 10 месяцев назад

It's also interesting comparing that to Babylon 5, which only started a couple years earlier, and just how much the CGI quality improved in such a short time. (Of course, Space AAB probably wasn't rendering on Amigas, haha.)

@benharkervfx 9 месяцев назад

I believe A51 also worked heavily on X-Files and also Dark Skies [remember that one??]. I was a HUGE fan of space above and beyond at the time! There's an article online somewhere about how A51 created thousands of CGI bees for X-Files because whilst they shot the sequences with live bees, the bees did not perform as intended and just like... flew off or something!

The extended trailer for Dinosaur that played before Toy Story 2 was one of the most mind blowing things I ever saw in theaters. Wish I could re-experience that feeling again. The extended trailer was just the egg travels scene.. Movie has not aged well at all unfortunately.

@RaiOkami 10 месяцев назад

You are right, it hasn't aged well as compared to Hollowman. But, Dinosaur was able to achieve what it was set out to do and many of our generation were blown away and were made to believe and learn more about dinos. This and Jurassic Park shaped how I imagined dinosaurs as a kid and that's what I think I will carry on as I age. Then again, I'm pretty sure even the mind blowing VFX and CGI work of today will likely get outdated too in a few years time as we closely get more powerful (yet cheaper) tech to get closer to actual photoreal.

If I wanted it to look seamless I'd maki my own HDRI on location or find one close enough & then just use free Megascans elements that are close enough in Unreal Engine.

"Dinosaur" holds a special place in my heart. I don't care that a lot of effects can look "dated" in hindsight. Glad you guys finally brought it on the show!

@joshoz7009 10 месяцев назад

You should totally compare the new prehistoric planet to walking with dinosaurs by the BBC in 1999.

The hollow man clip reminds me of a cgi version of the wonderful body horror that is Frank in Hellraiser. Some of the best practical horror effects ever in that movie!

Thanks for finally explaining ambient occlusion to me. I've wondered PRECISLEY what it is ever since I first played GTA V.

I think Hollow Man is a really underappreciated movie. It really dives into how there's really no ethical uses for invisibility.

@MrTomyCJ 9 месяцев назад

Does that movie try to make that point? I didn't get that impression when I saw it a long time ago. One thing it could be useful is simply being able to remain private in public. Maybe it doesn't have espectacular uses, but only ordinary, simple, or unimpressive ones.

That Dinosaur movie shaped my childhood. Not necessarily in a good way, but it shaped it, nonetheless

@lisgraa82 10 месяцев назад

I was at a special premiere of Dinosaur, where there was a presenter, telling us most of this, before we saw the movie. It's pretty funny to actually see it, with commentary now. I remember LOVING this movie, because I was SO impressed with it, and how it was made.

The First Scene of Durotan in Warcraft from 2017. The Movie is Uneven with low lows but the highs are extreme.

It's a shame they didn't discuss the cave scene with the carnotaurs out front. That scene was terrifying as a kid and looked so real.

Dinosaur's CGI is still far better than most CGI today.

I love your stuff. And again: Thank you for my "Media Not Found" shirt. Because of it I've met fellow fans in my town. Medford Oregon hype 😅

I’m super excited they did Hollow Man. What a great movie, and the respect it received was on point.

@covertcreator1174 10 месяцев назад

I got three suggestions: 1: Cloverfield: the giant monster stuff is obvious (but you could still check that stuff out) but the shot where the helicopter flies away from the evac zone particularly impressive. Same goes for the Brooklyn Bridge scene. 2: First Man: Everything with the rocket and the moon is just *chef's kiss* 3. Deep Impact: The asteroid crashing into the ocean and the tidal wave after that seriously impressive for 1998. And as for the unexpected stuff, Joel Coen's The Tragedy of Macbeth has some amazing invisible effects! Also, that brand integration transition was smooth as butter.

Really appreciate the timeline. Very useful. Whoever had that idea, well done. And if it’s one of those situations where you know it was your idea, but someone else is convinced it was their idea. Or when you have an idea, but you thought you said it out loud and never actually did, and later you think you did, so you believe that it originated as your idea, well done too.

I was blown away by the Balrog in Fellowship of the Ring. That was the first time I saw real-looking "fire". Throw in the heat distortion when it leans into its close-up and roars... I'm sold.

There's a scene in the Lost in Space movie from 1998 where Matt LeBlanc's character is gearing up for a fight. When he gets up, turns around and looks forward, a metallic helmet forms around his head. I was floored by that scene back then, and it still looks pretty good now.

@HeyHerdy 10 месяцев назад

I was SO stoked for this episode! I recommended Dinosaur on the subreddit months ago with a very detailed post. I rewatched it at the time and was very impressed to this day. There's so much more to say about Dinosaur. For being released in the 2000's I think it holds up so well, and it's because of the lighting and animation, it's not distracting at all, and I can't say that for films that even come out now.

@Styrophoamicus 9 месяцев назад

Unexpected great CGI: in Treasure Planet, the transition where Dr. Doppler says they're going to the spaceport, and the camera moves over his shoulder and moves toward the moon revealing that the moon is the spaceport. 20 years on and that's still one of my favorite shots.

@socks6930 10 месяцев назад

Hollowman was sooooo good as a kid, and still holds up today! We had it on VHS. One of my favorites for sure

@scarletspidernz 10 месяцев назад

Single Video Idea: Really love to see a comparison of all the invisible men over the decades, including the tv show The Invisible Man (2000-2002) and if the show were made today, how with a limited budget and time it would look like 20yrs later. (also compare the tv show cgi to T2 since it seems to take a bit from it) Could also make it a 2-3 videos by having Jake be the invisible man creating mischief around the office and then doing a BTS video of it.

I designed the showcase behind David Attenborough on the right of the frame of the intro of Prehistoric Planet 1! It’s cool seeing you talk about a show I’ve somehow got a connection to.

Dinosaur was my ducking childhood man, I still have that movie on VHS… the story and movie is just so good! You guys need to redo the effects for the whole movie, it’s be LIT

Yesss finally we get to see the hollow man I’ve been wanting to see y’all’s reaction to it for a long time now. I had commented about it last video I’m glad I finally get to see y’all’s reaction to it !!

@Mwstmrlnd 9 месяцев назад

The VFX scene that sticks out most in my mind as a "whoa...wait..." moment was in Bride of Frankenstein. There's a scene with a bunch of pygmies in jars, and the effect seems pretty straightforward at first but it keeps getting better and better the more you watch. It was so creative and way ahead of its time.

Hearing the people in the background laugh when Wren said "he likes when his foot is on her throat" had me cracking up as well! Seinfeld immediately came to mind..." Not that there's anything wrong with that!"😂😅

Some of the best CG at the moment is done in TV and where most people will never know on medical drama’s police dramas , layer shows etc. You could do a whole episode of “guess the CG” with some of these.

@SOPARA862k 9 месяцев назад

Wow. Hollowman! That takes me back, rented it from Blockbuster a couple of times. Will have to see if I can find it on streaming.

@jdrm3710 10 месяцев назад

Good to see Dinosaur being featured in VFX Artists React. It was the 1st movie my family watched on the movie theatre when I was a kid. I remembered that I cried over this movie over 2 different things being how terrifying the action scenes were and how happy I am when they reached the safe haven at the ending.

@D0S81 10 месяцев назад

best VFX shot iive seen where i didnt expect to see it was in the car chase in We Own The Night with Jaquan Pheonix where they are driving through the pouring rain.....except it was filmed on a bright sunny day with not a rain machine in sight.
