VFX Artists React to Bad & Great CGi 66 

No comments on a pinned reply on an old video? Hmm

Yeah, that's what I also thought.

Oh Wren, so precious

They can even fly upside down!

Took the words right out of my mouth, lol.

Wren has the dunning Kruger effect very often

Haha honestly I just love that for how terrible the prequels are, with bad writing, editing and directing..they're still entertaining and meme filled and were all so nostalgic for them after how much of a dumpster fire the new trilogy is

The best part is the motivation behind these from a world building standpoint, so many movies now have such shallow scripts and worldbuilding and it was one of dunes best aspects, and it even pared some back Also that desert mouse IS muadib haha, it's the source of Paul's fremen name Ironic considering the galactic jihad he begins

Also the theory with the human spider is its actually Dr Yuehs wife, so his entire collaboration in helping the harkonnens for his wife was pointless to begin with

That has to be the main appeal for me

Exactly, helps me appreciate the product more too

Thank you for your contribution!

omg it's actually him

I'm guessing that it's not exactly the path you imagined your talent would lead you down.

The beatboxer is Tom Thumb?! No way. Dude was this layman's first - and best - introduction to career/competitive beatboxing. Such a talent.

That's a great line.

I never watched Dune, the trailers looked really boring except for the Worm, but now that I know there's other interesting characters, maybe I'll watch it, or look at videos of the other Creatures. Because I love Monsters and Aliens and just Creatures in general

@@Werewolf914 Dune isn't meant to be a spectacle showing off aliens or monsters, it's really meant to be a human story. if you care more about creatures go watch Godzilla vs Kong or something lol

I do not remember that human spider whatsoever...

Came to say this :D

Hummingbird: I don't live perpetually hours away from starvation to be disrespected like this!

The true fun fact about Dragonflies is that they're one of the VERY few other animals (other than humans) that can actually predict movement almost all animals react rather than predict.

Wren just be making bold claims from time to time lol

I came to write this as well lol

When it initially appeared, I thought, "Aw, they filmed this cute little kangaroo mouse guy in a desert somewhere..." And I thought only the close-up shots were CGI, but nope, the WHOLE thing was CG and that blew my mind.

Honestly a lot of the things they created, like even the giant ass ships felt real. Obvs they weren't real but nothing in my head went "wow that's good GCI" I just accepted all the ships real and how they moved felt real too

Absolutely agree, I've seen a couple of things in movies that I thought were real props or actors but learned they were 100% cgi and it's pretty mind blowing.

@@JamesDarcon2007 I mean, I could see it wasn't an animal that really existed, so in that sense I knew it was fake, but at that point I was fascinated with how they basically gave a full rundown of the creatures way of life and showed that this thing would survive in a Dune-like environment. I was very impressed with the shot. (I do Environmental Science)

yeah, I was like "what a cute mouse" rather than "nice cgi"

the what function?

@@aliceramdom.s when you upload a video and in the description you write timestamps with labels then those appear on the video player timeline. That way you can divide the video in different parts or sections and let the users know exactly which part they’re watching.

and it's really nice for avoiding spoilers.

Professional

If only the soundmix was as good as it usually is. I'm having trouble understanding them through our BT speaker because of very bassheavy mixing. Normally it's very clear.

VFX artists, especially lead designers and people like Robyn Luckham, must be extremely knowledgeable in all kinds of science fields holy shit. Stuff like biology, anatomy, biomechanics, physics and many more that I am not even aware of. Amazing people and amazing work.

yeah... obviously if you take account of science, it will look better...

@@Caseoh_Music you falling asleep there at the end? Ellipses dont work likd that, you look silly

@@CourierSiix u look way more silly than me, trust me... LOL

@@Caseoh_Music im not the one falling asleep after each sentence, gramps

The sound design for the shields was perfect too. It is absolutely grounded in the way a real life system like that might sound, rather than being flashy or aggressively “sci-fi” sounding. They sound like lane departure and parking proximity systems on a car might sound. It’s really brilliant and helps inform the action on screen to read better.

Yeah, would be sweet being friends with that guy

just wanna say you're one of my favorite creators of all time and love all your work you did with Poppy.

Your name is such a BBEG name lol

I can’t remember dont u own poppy right?

but when the budget is 165 million dollars you can make something special

@@chubbs912 As Benicio Del Toro had said to Christopher Nolan if the director has unlimited imagination then the budget is always limited.

@@chubbs912 Especially when you can focus on what is needed. LOTR had a vastly smaller budget than the Hobbit yet the cgi is way better. It is designed better and more time was alloted to make the CGI really shine.

@@devonmarr9872 yeah, it was all planned in advance and given massive amounts of time to craft it into something special, rather than just backing a dump truck of cash up to a few FX houses after production is finished and dumping it in their parking lot with a couple months deadline lol.

@BANDof HORSES85 You are missing out. It is a fantastic film and great adaptation of the source material. But I expect this is a troll account seeing how it was only made a month ago

Congratulations 👏 you got selected text me up 🆙🔼

SoCloseToToast commenting on a Corridor video, feels like two of my favourite worlds colliding. Love your beatbox reactions man, so much energy and sickest dance moves in the game. Big love

Fancy seeing you here!

SO happy you commented. BBX and Corridor Crew is SUCH a great combination. If they only knew the "practical trickery" involved in modern day beatboxing.

I love watching Wren react most of all.

And dragon fly babies are even more successful than their parents.

I'm so happy for them

I do feel like wren will enjoy this

It's because of the amount of control and precision with there wings man.

knowing wren he probably knows that already

I would love more videos on this discussing lighting!

Really short scene with the Bene Geserit mother when she visits the Harkonens so understandable if you forgot it in such a jam packed movie

@@alexandersakellarakis9803 Ahhhhh now I remember! Thank you for info kind stranger!!

I think I remember it but I didn't realize it had a human head... or hands. Really easy to miss since it's all black.

Movie puts me to sleep, visually boring. All the set are in a dark or wide opened monotone space.

Mandela Effect!

I also find this so interesting. How we can tell something is off because it doesn’t look natural if the lighting isn’t right but we can’t put our finger on why it looks wrong sometimes, until you look for it and pay attention.

@@HyperWolf yeah, it’s cool how if it’s off just a little you’ll subconsciously think something is up

I could be wrong, but I think they already did Aslan

As for music videos, I think they stated once it would be a problem because of copyright strikes. Record labels go really hard with those.

There are so many stellar fights/sequences from ATLA/LOK they should react to. Especially metalbending - it's so mechanical yet fluid at the same time.

Yeah, you were too low on this comment list!

“Execute Episode, sixty, six”

@@datgio4951 Have you heard the gospel of Jesus Christ before? God's holy word the Bible teaches us that we have all sinned, we have all done things our God given conscience tells us are wrong, that keep us from experiencing His holiness and goodness in our lives. Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Sins such as using His name in vain, to use the name of the God who created us and gave us life, without respect or reverence, and worse, often with disrespect, jesting or even hatred. Exodus 20:7 “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.” God is a just, holy and righteous God and in His love and goodness He must punish sin. If we are living sinful lives, breaking the ten commandments, and not acknowledging God in our hearts, God must punish us for our wickedness. God must send us to hell, a place of torment, weeping and gnashing of teeth, where all unrepentant sinners will go. Since we all have sinned, and fallen short, how can we be saved from this eternal place? Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” The good news, the gospel, is that God was born of a virgin, lived a perfect, sinless and holy life, as Jesus of Nazareth, and sacrificed Himself for our sins. He shed His blood and died on the cross and took upon Himself the wrath of the Father so that we might go free. After being crucified, he was buried in a tomb, and then as prophesied, resurrected by the power of God and defeated sin, death and hell. Whosoever believes in Him and follows Him will have eternal life! Forgiven of all sin, saved from death and hell and given a new heart to truly know Him. That is the mercy and love that Christ showed on the cross. He was perfect, yet died for imperfect people like us. Please take the time, you are not promised tomorrow, to read these next verses humbly and honestly and pray for God to forgive you of your sin and grant you His Holy Spirit and forgiveness in Jesus Christ. God bless you in Jesus' mighty name! Amen. Romans 10:9 “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” John 11:25-26 "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?"

@@braydynniewiadomski5454 allahu akbar

@@ankibanki Where are you going to go after you die? Do you believe in Jesus Christ?

Have u finished the series? I’m currently on Children of Dune. I absolutely loved Dune Messiah and was interested in what ur opinion was on it bc it’s a pretty controversial book. I thought it went in the perfect direction.

I know, they’re quite incredible. I might even argue that their cg is on par with or better than most of the marvel cg characters, especially nanotech Ironman who feels stiff and simplistic in comparison

'Chocked'?

Another example of incredibly good cgi that still holds up is Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest.

It's unbelievable how General Grievous is one of the most complex CGI models ever created even to this day when he came from a trilogy of movies that was criticized at the beginning for its terrible CGI. George Lucas' insistance really paid off in the end.

@@fernandosegovia8806 I guess that it helped that by the time we arrived at the Episode 3, they were now in Direct3D 9 / Pixel Shaders 3.0 territory (Xbox 360 level) on the hardware side. Which was one of the more important leap in computer graphic history.

I kinda thought the armour looked like plastic

Yes

@@graydavid5188 more like foam. Like a homemade cosplay. And I hate what they did to cortana

@@greenglassblock1324 that Cortana should burn in the deepest chasms of hell

@@graydavid5188 maybe like Sonic, they'll change her look before it premieres

starwars knights of the old republic trailers

It's easy to make but takes a lot of time and detail to make it right

Grievous is a He because he is originally a commander and eventually becomes Grievous as we know him.

Don't use "It" for him.

THANK YOU! I picked up on that mistake too. Cyborg, not android.

@@FishwicksREAL If you don't want the commenter to use "it", then you can just say "Grievous is an actual character, not an inanimate object". Though, it's still completely fine to use "they" for Grievous.

@@Conorator They isn't a singular pronoun, and by accepting it, we fall further into a rewrite of the English Language to satisfy a few radical leftists.

To be fair, I think if there was an "actors" react, we maybe would see some cool insight on how actors work hard in ways a that a lot of us don't consider, too.

@@ArchIVEDCinema You know, like the stunt men react series?

@@Isnogood12 What about it?

@@ArchIVEDCinema That's an "actors react" for you.

Machine learning i imagine could be a huge leap, doing most of the heavy lifting and allowing even more artistic freedom

I think we are close, like within 10 years of truly indistinguishable from reality in every way. No more uncanny valley. Then, improvements will be it getting cheaper, and cheaper. Once that happens, society is in for a paradigm shift. As in, video evidence of any kind would then be suspect, regardless of source.

@@ckmoore101 These things are already indistinguishable from reality. I go on art station some times and look at some of the horrifyingly realistic portraits people make, and if I wasn't on art station I wouldn't know if they were real pictures or not. The world is not ready for that.

Actual quality of the film is amazing.

The opening scene, flying through the battle over Coruscant, is still the best opening of any movie in the franchise. Amazing work.

Those prequels are better than the newer sequels for sure.

my opinion of Revenge of the Sith went up quite a lot after watching The Clone Wars.

@@user-xx6vy9ri8p Literally infamous for how bad it is...
