VFX Artists React to Bad & Great CGi 50 

Why did you comment on this old video?

@@Tanjapanda7 uno reverse card

old effects are dope

Smoke and mirrors is how you produce industrial light and magic. I wonder how many SFX folk have a Magician background.

Sam, Wren and Niko: [wringing their brains on how the forced perspective was done] Old VFX Artist: "I'm gonna do what's called a PRO GAMER MOVE." Sam, Wren, and Niko: crewPOG

That was great. I actually grew up watching Darby O'Gill and the Little People it just happened to be one many movies we got from a box full of vhs tapes at a yardsale as a kid. If you ever want to see a handsome young Sean Connery before he was James Bond sing in a Walt Disney Movie I recommend, I was surprised it was him really singing and that he had a decent voice as a lot of old movies would dub a singer in. But the effects are cool honestly for how old the movie is I don't' think they got to see the end part of that scene where the cave splits open. And the banshee use to scare the crap out of me lol. You've got the King of Leprechauns, treasure, a game of wits, the pooka, a banshee, and the death coach. Don't watch on Disney Plus though they dubbed over all the voice of Darby O'gill's actor and King Brian's actor completely, kinda disrespectful to the actors work as it's been the same for 60 years even on the dvd releases. It's about Irish people living in a small village but they Americanized the voices because "it might be hard for people to understand what is being said". I never had an issue and live in the middle of nowhere USA. Maybe less Americans would "have issues understanding" if they heard different accents more often, granted I don't think they made the decision because of any overwhelming complaints why fix something that isn't broken.

Facts

Lol, It isn't the first time i watch a random video and find a comment of you michael (I'm subscribed for about a year)

What is mirror ?

Go back to your channel mj

@@CulpamlandExtra hush james

@@OmerHanehmad just remind me of “what‘s durgs meme” lol

That would be amazing

up!

Yoooo

Totally agree

I think covering new movies is also a service because we give production companies billions setting them and their families up for life. That's how I always looked at this show like a public service announcement regarding shitty FX and maybe helping influence movie goers to be a little more demanding for their ticket prices.

Agreed

I wonder if there is a video that they could do where they deliberately are not allowed to use CGI and have to resort to classic in camera effects. - Perhaps the only use of computers would be to print matte paintings etc but the final result has to be entirely in camera.

Yup.

Came here for this! Thank you! Mirrors and Dolls, Doll and Mirrors!

"the reason it doesn't look real is skin stretches"

Looks like it never will

right

Honestly, when I got to that part I scrolled to the comments to check he hadn't replied already.

Id say he's a free guy isn't he

Quick, someone message Hugh Jackman to get Ryan Reynolds's attention.

Hell, he’d probably invite them onto a set to see what going on or even play a cameo or something for a goof!

@@hunter5822 that would be cool.

Hahaha I'm gonna be honest I don't miss being frustrated with Clint's refusal to ever watch anything popular 🤣

LMAO

@@ActiumFilms but his reactions to things were so entertaining because of it

@@ActiumFilms I miss it...

@@jgriffin9084 BUT HE WOULD STILL NEVER WATCH LITERALLY ANYTHING How can someone work in VFX and not watch popular movies to, at the very least, be up to date with what blockbusters are doing with CGI. It's so weird.

mans forgot about mirrors

@@davidb4935 Now, we're Done With Mirrors.

Dolls and mirrors may be good for practical effects, but how well will they do in a microwave?

@@super8ben not well, if I recall correctly. We did both at least once or twice.

@@Jogwheel I would imagine they wouldn't fare any better than glass at stopping microwave/airbag shrapnel either, even with a layer of tinfoil.

They did them already

@@dogwatergamer6339 They did Davy Jones, but not the skeletons.

U forgot that THAT SCENE WAS 18 YEARS AGO Wow

YES! YES! YES!

Up

I loved noticing the little cameos

It's a shame it turned into a bit of a mess yea, but from a story and spectacle perspective I enjoyed there being a crowd of characters like that! that mirror moment was intense for me too :o

I was fine until they pointed it out, now I can’t focus on any of the foreground

I really don’t see the point of 3D Looney Tunes characters. I guess the target audience kids don’t know the classic 2D animations, but they just don’t come across as the same characters in 3D.

@@scaredyfish the plot of the movie kinda shits on the 3d versions. Even the characters don't like being 3d. So it's pretty self aware

Ryan said "reaction faction " as everyone who makes reaction videos on Yt for example . It 'll be awesome it he agrees on the offer

Oh hey guys!

Who are you

@@wizard838kk who who

Hii, the thumbnails are a bit hard to read(for me) Improving the readability might help you communicate your content better to the internet I hope this helps -change font -make size bigger/smaller -add spacing -add border to text(make it pop up from bg) -chop 30 min videos to atleast 10mins each

Facts

Replace Wren with Clint and then you have my fave 3.

Kinda sus

@@FramesPerSecond keep wren

I miss Clint. Thankfully I joined in the age of Wren and I greatly value his commentary.

@Stellvia Hoenheim Yeah, which is why they bring in guests to talk about things they have little knowledge or expertise in. Don't be an ass.

They could bring on a Producer to help break down scenes and how much the various elements of those scenes cost

They already did a video like that

@Stellvia Hoenheim Everything alright at home, Stellvia?

Budgeters react. lol

some of them don't lmao I remember watching super bouncy boulders and a super plastic looking snake in The Silver Chair (1990)

@@Arrisay dude the op is obviously talking about the movies from 2005 and after

@@Arrisay Op probably talking about Disney's adaption 😂😂😂

Little did you know we're all from alternate universe's and we're watching a corridor crew version matched by RU-vids preferences

Only the effects tho

true I miss that dude

And then after they tell him he admits he hasn't seen it

I'm glad, it's less annoying

Clint: Oh wait, the boat is sinking? What movie is this? It's Titanic, dude. Clint: Never seen it.

It sorta stymies me that a VFX guy hasn't watched so many movies. It's the industry he's working in. Just seems odd...

And at the end they got it wrong

They work incredible with VFX software... just don't let them handle anything more primitive, like a calculator :D

i would 10000% buy a shirt from them that said that lol

Yeah, but you’re gonna have people thinking you’re into dolls and mirrors. If you know what I mean. 😅

for me it's evening

When things were at their very worst: 2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid - repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy. Scientists will say it was a global illusion. Beaware - Jesus will never walk in flesh again. After WW3 - rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist - the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way. Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet - will seem to rise from the dead - will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one. One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist. Benedict XVI is the last true pope - will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.

@@michagabo8819 Uhh mate the whole "2012" thing has been used so much that they made a movie about it lol

They covered that one I forget which episode tho😅

@Stellvia Hoenheim how would Disney telling them how it’s made make them sellouts? Selling out to who?

To be fair, I believe he person on the couch "brings" one or two clips to show the other two guys. So, Niko already did some research on his material, and learned the names so he could share them.

Same

That is a very apt way to describe it. :-)

For this, Ryan Reynolds, pasted on The Dude, I didn't mind the way Ryan's face was just there and didn't fit really well to Dude's head because it felt like they were lampshading how slapping a new skin on an existing character is sometimes off, Not as off as GoldenEye64 slapped Brosnan, Oddjob, etc.. onto clunky polygons but still in certain angles it looked right and others it didn't. I think it was a deliberate choice.

@@franklinflowers8106 You need to watch the freeguy movie to have some context. It was done weirdly like this ON PURPOSE. Don't want to spoil anything but this character they are portraying LOOKS WEIRD ON PURPOSE. Watch the movie and you will understand. You're right that it's a deliberate choice.

first comment nub

also I take this as an opportunity to shameless advertize myself, hi im a loser and yes

Why do you comment every were

Delta Variant is most found in SouthEast Asia

@@cruvk4196 just cause, why not

I bet those AD would have more views

@@SherifBender 100%. Jordan’s ads are much better as she seems genuinely passionate about the thing she is talking about. Jake had that too but I just think It’s nice to see more of Jordan since we barely see her anyway.

@@Katonato she's part of the comercial team? I've never seen her

Would honestly like to see Jake phased out of the crew videos.

No issues with Jake at all... but Jordan's ads I actually watched. She has a voice demeanor and (let's face it) she is easy to look at. I rarely comment on RU-vid videos... but I'm team Jordan for sure.

Well that and the plot is kinda hard to explain.

This is why drugs are bad for you, kids.

That's what I said last episode! Dom. You are cool Shark king says: H A N D

Don't forget about Peacemaker's helmet! The fight scene shot using the helmet reflections was so cool!

@@dre5586 H A N D

Totally. Real movie magic has a tendency to do that. The more "in-camera" effects can be done, the more convincing they are. Take ILM's Stagecraft, for instance; all in camera. Mindblowing.

Getting geeked up is also known as a "nerdgasm"

ok

16:23 she's so beautiful 😍

@@human6826 okay?

If only they'd invested more in better writing...

@@RobertMorgan really?

@@RobertMorgan I agree. I thought the show was beautiful and well-acted, but the writing (mostly the dialogue) left me a little flat.

8.3k I did the math

@@astrox5063 I also did the math, but I actually looked up how long the runtime of each episode was.

Directed by Jon Favreau.

it's a saturday evening routine for me

Seeing forced perspective done well blows my mind too, especially since most people just ruin it with their "pinching the Sun" or "kicking over the Leaning Tower of Pisa" photos.

It's even crazier when you see it live!

Agreed. War of the Worlds has so many variations it would be perfect.

This is an incredibly good shout.

That'd a great idea. To compare original old movies with effects, with their modern versions

The oners in the tom cruise one is insane

Definitely!! I don't know why we haven't yet!

how bout u do

The audacity

I almost unsubscribed, so that I could subscribe again!!

They aren't original, but this doesn't mean they aren't better either.

@@eduardofernandes9881 they've made enough OG content for us to actually care for their reaction to something close to what that they spent years doing *before* the react series. If anybody deserves to have one, it's these guys regardless of whoever made the genre.

@@LiMCRiMZ I'm not denying that, but still they arent original.

He seems like the kind of guy who would do it. He's chill like that.

Oh I'm sure there's an evil variant of her that'll show up next season

Yeah but it doesn't look anything like the Honest Trailers reaction set up.

@@hypercept /woosh

Ryan is pretty savvy with marketing in general, and it's safe to say he's got his finger on the pulse of the RU-vid market no matter what. It's not a stretch to think it was a nod to this series.

Let them dream.

Didn't stop every single reaction channel on YT from claiming Reynolds was calling out their channel specifically.

I love that movie!

Big +1 to this. That films needs more love.

The matrix ripped off a lot from that movie.

One of my first DVDs! I hope they cover it in the show!

The end scene where Keifer and the poster and the stuff. That shit clean blew my mind. The INSTANT of it still gets me. God, I want that again. Coming Soon to a theater near YOU- Dark Country. That'd be so cool.

that's actually an awesome idea, hell yeah!

right? Soon she'll do VFX stuff and sit on the react sofa!

@@huawafabe that's a bit of a stretch bro but ok 😂

@@huawafabe I think she was hired as more of a producer/production manager than as a VFX artist

@@ArchIVEDCinema I know I know 😅 wishful thinking

@@huawafabe I hope she gets on that sofa with those guys 😏

Fun fact: Sometimes there's a creative decision being made on set and it's up to the VFX supervisor (or VFX producer) to sit down to fiddle with a spreadsheet and decide if the choice fits in the budget (or how much over they'll be, if they can't). Then the on-set Supervising Producer has to approve the choice (or calls are made). Hopefully, they can flip the shooting order so work can happen while the decisions are made. However, at least one time IME we sat around waiting for the calculations and the decision. So, y'know, just another reason to make as many creative decisions as you can ahead of time! Fix it in _prep!_

duuuuude! yes! I would love to see VFX breakdowns for the OG Herbie movies

They were called Demolition Derbys. There was even a toy set back in the 70s.
