On release day one, my father took me and my younger brother to go see "Saving Private Ryan". My father NEVER wants to go where there will be a crowd; I believe he still has PTSD from being on the front lines of Vietnam but he would never admit it until twenty years later. I remember that after the Normandy beach scene I could hear a lot of people crying and sobbing around me. After the movie was over and the lights went back up, I realized we were SURROUNDED by war veterans of various wars and conflicts, all wearing their side caps and jackets, decorated in medals. We took some time to shake the hands of the ones that were not already consoling each other as we walked down the stairs and aisles and the three of us had a rather somber and sorrowful drive home. We were 15 and 12 yo but I am glad I saw it and glad I had that sobering experience that day.

Honestly waiting for a Ready Player One video, specifically the “Shining” part. I always wondered if they made the shot in a real room because the lighting in the scene looked so well done. And the integration of full cgi characters was, to my memory, perfect. These are video game avatars, and to put them in a recreation of a real environment is amazing. Imagine rendering Cloud Strife walking down Hollywood Blvd, combining a fictional environment with a real. If they reused shots from the movie, character integration was perfect.

@thaddeusrobinson6866 2 года назад

MY DUDE! I watched that scene over the weekend and came here to request it! I can't tell if it makes more sense to insert CGI characters into the original footage, or to recreate the scene with modern VFX and do whatever you want in it. The original has such a strong aesthetic, but remixing the original footage to fit a different story would be hard. But harder than recreating the lighting and style perfectly without looking like CGI at all? I really want to know!!!!

@MrSinister__99 2 года назад

Really interesting fact about barrage balloons on that day in 1944. They were most likely being piloted by the only African American soldiers on the beaches that day and their influence over the battle (and many battles) has been erased or overlooked because those soldiers were black men. Those men carried out their duty with exemplary quality and went far above and beyond the call of duty many times as told by first hand accounts by other all white units serving during the time and by the British press but have been unfortunately forgotten because they were actively written out and excluded by the country they so bravely fought for

One of the things I find most interesting about the making of saving private Ryan is the Tiger tank. When the film was made there were no running tiger 1s. There is one now and it was used in the movie Fury, but it was restored to working order in 2003. In order to have a Tiger tank for the film, they got a T-34 and built a structure on top of it that made it look like a tiger. While this method works, it's pretty difficult to hide the suspension of the tank, which is a bit of a giveaway since the suspension of the T-34 and Tiger 1 are completely different

@PetrosofSparta 2 года назад

Recently we did a whole concept trailer based around an actor who only has one eye, and part of it that I found really challenging was lighting the inside of an eye socket without the prosthetic eye in there anymore. It's an interesting challenge to be honest because the eye socket itself is like any concave surface on the skin, there's no light falling into it and really no tutorials online for "how to light a human eye socket". We ended up having to boost the exposure in post a little because even with the lighting we used it wasn't really obvious that the eyeball itself was missing, and it's a huge part of the fact that both the character and the actress have only one eye.

Clip for you to look at - The Grand Tour YT channel has a video called James May avoiding death, or something like that. In the video he drives across a train track and gets narrowly missed by a train, that's an easy one to explain. But at the end he gets into his car outside a hospital, and the car is immediately crushed by a falling skip. I cant see any cuts, the doors of the hospital continue closing throughout, and the window reflections are consistent too. This will probably get lost but I figured it was worth it. :)

There’s actually a few vfx that came to my mind after watching all the VFX artists reacts (I love what you guys do, it’s so awesome and instructive) Jason X (the girl that gets killed with that freezing substance) I know it’s janky but I wonder how they made it Paul, it’s pretty obvious how they made the alien but I’m still wondering today about how they really made it work to look immersive in the movie The 3 Resident Evil Animated movies and Infinite Darkness serie on netflix, from the first one to the latest there’s an obvious improvement in quality, it would be super nice if you guys could watch them and talk about technical stuff, I mean the reasons and techniques/processes they used to make it look better and better with time, the characters, the monsters, the visual effects etc. I love the RE universe so much it would make me so happy to see you guys talk about it The 2 Silent Hill movies, in the first one there’s a scene where child Alessa "enters" in Rose’s body, the effect is pretty nice, also the ending massacre that happens, I really wonder the technique they used with the barb wires killing people In the second one, I’m super intrigued with the carousel scene with the look of Alessa and how they made her blend with Heather Please make another video to talk about these 😱 I’ll definitely write other suggestions in the future 👌🏻😊

@syyneater 2 года назад

It definitely seems like they’ve gotten shorter, but I haven’t looked to see if it’s just my perception due to not wanting them to end. Thinking about it though, when they’ve had Gui, or other stunt performers, they do spend more time talking about the setup, training, etc. for those scenes. I’m guessing it’s because from a digital VFX perspective, they’ve spent the last few years teaching us fans all the different terminology, techniques, so they don’t need to spend as much time on each individual shot. I’d imagine they shoot more than one at a time, so it’s possible they cut them in half or thirds to make them all somewhat the same length (totally too lazy to dig through and check the lengths of previous ones). Like all of us, I absolutely look forward to these every Saturday!

So this is a very obscure recommendation, but Cartoon Network did these series of bumper episodes called 'Cartoon Network city' featuring what seemed like a behind the curtain look at the lives of the many characters featured on the network, but what was so surreal and incredible concept id love to hear you talk about it! it was cartoons placed over IRL photos/ settings or hyper realised versions of their homes!

The other scenes from Minority Report I think would be the scene of Tom Cruise in the car as it is being manufactured and the "evidence on the bed" scene regarding the choreography of the raised sign outside timed to the action within the patsy's room. But you are so right that there is so much going on in Minority Report visually.

Ya'll should take a look at Tales from the Loop, it got a bunch of stuff, robots, time freezes, jumping into parallel timeline so having the same actor talk to themselves with a bunch of other sci-fi stuff which you could discuss and theorize about regarding the effects

@TheDJmusso 2 года назад

Hot take: the idea that the scorpion king scene is “one of the worst VX sequences ever” is an exaggeration. Yes it looks like utter crap now but I doubt people back in 2001 looked at it for the first time and said ‘ewww this is one of the worst CGIs ever!’ I never hated it or thought about it that much in the early 2000s, that is until the internet has taught me to hate it in the 2010s.

I recommend to watch Zathura (Basically Space Jumanji). The specific scene to watch is when a robot chases one of the main characters throughout the house (Which is in space) and destroying everything in its path, such as the doorways with its massive body.

@jasonblalock4429 2 года назад

@@Veektohr Really, fixing the bad rear-projection work in Aliens would be a pretty good project. Especially the dropship crash. It always stood out as one of the few relatively bad effects in the movie.

@Veektohr 2 года назад

@@jasonblalock4429 That's definitely the one that sticks out the most. On the flipside, the shot of the apc deployment, with the dropship taking off behind them is amazing and it's all remote controlled / wire rigged miniatures and rear projection. God I love that movie.

I know the next episode is likely shot already and I know it’s probably not really VFX but in the current season of Hard Knocks on HBO, Ep3 opens with a long drone shot of the Dallas Cowboys practice facility. It starts outside through a shopping center and progresses through the very very impressive facility for a couple of minutes. It’s really cool. Appears to be multiple shots stitched together, audio maybe recorded independently for the various spots but it seems like there had to be some digital sorcery added in besides that. FYI I’m 100% not a cowboys fan touting their team. I’m a Steelers fan and those who know, know I don’t like Dallas lol. It’s just a really cool shot and I’d like to see how it was done.

@Jed_Rowahnn 2 года назад

I find it amazing that the longer this series goes on, the more guests you have who have been deeper and deeper in film & VFX industries. I know it would be an immense longshot, but using those connections to get a director like Spielberg to talk with would be absolutely phenomenal
