VFX Artists React to Bad & Great CGi 8 

We’ve just launched new merch! It will probably sell out in a day or two, so check it out while you can! corridordigital.store

Not seeing Intersteller in theatres will be one of the biggest regrets of my life.

*Watches interstellar once* Me : you know I’m something of a scientist myself

If you want insane camera movement you can look at Limitless; that movie has some sick transitions throught the city. Also, Black Manta fight in Aquaman has a long sequence moving all around the scene showing several fights in real time. Underrated movies.

I watched interstellar without knowing anything about it. I didn't know it was a Christopher Nolan movie, I had not seen the trailers. Can you imagine my awe? I couldn't believe what I was watching, and after the last scene and the credits rolled I must admit I cried a little... I can't really describe the experience.

When they explained how Interstellar VFX created the Black Hole, it legit blew my mind.

Movie men: the program isn’t working the black hole has this weird halo affect Physicist: at last I’ve achieved understanding

"That's insane, that that is basically math". That shows how far cg has come. When I did my degree late 90s, all cg was math

I love how they're like "you can't take pictures of a black hole" and then they took a picture of a black hole like a short time later. EDIT: 10 months later and people are still going "Um AcTUaLly..." Guys, I know, you can't take a picture of something that doesn't let light escape. But it was still a huge discovery which wasn't even expected to be possible and which was still pulled off by a bunch of clever as heck people. It's funny to see something like that just after you hear something like this in a youtube video. Can you all stop bitching now? You're cluttering up my notifications with the same thing over and over.

“it’s a black hole. you can’t photograph it” well that didn’t age well

I'm going to render a black hole. "But Cooper it's not possible." "No. It's necessary."

When Niko said that everything was hand tracked, I *felt* Clint’s reaction. Stress, exasperation. It’s like a thousand yard stare for VFX artists.

Holy shit Niko! At 14:37 when you make sure you're understanding the lensing property of black holes properly, you are spot on. Like exactly. That is exactly, to a T, what is happening and I cannot believe you just....guessed that.

CGI in film is only about 35 years old. Imagine the future.

Watch monster scene Australian guy: yeah we actually have this back in our backyard

Something I love about interstellar is that for that simulation no one knew it would like that. Like yeah, physicists knew that black holes had dilation and gravitional lensing, but no one knew you would be able to see the other side of the accretion disc. Everyone thought it would be a disc going around this pitch black sphere and that was it. They're not kidding when they say that the movie spawned 2 research papers, they may have found it by accident but it surprised scientists while simultaneously making things click

The gravitational lensing effect is so insane. My mind recoils in absolute primal terror every time I watch Interstellar, its all just so completely and utterly unfathomable.

I remember it wasn't until at least 2 years after The Lego Movie came out when i found out it was not stop motion. I was fully convinced it was stop motion. Still to this day, i can't tell a difference between the movie and real stop motion. The details are absolutely insane. It's one of those movies that you can tell the people who put it together truely cared about the project as a whole. I have never seen a movie with more convincing CGI.

X-men Days of Future Past ... That Quick Silver Scene is madness

God, the lego movie looks so good. My favorite bit about that opening sequence when the Main Character opens his eyes is the light contrast on the "paint" on his face. If you look closely, the. Circumference of the eyes have different levels of light based on the distance from the light source, and because of that, it helps you see that the "painted" on features of the lego head are slightly raised off the plastic. As someone who grew up with legos, it just adds to the realism.

I literally never thought about the technical skill and attention to detail in The Lego Movie. I like that movie, but now I have newfound appreciation for it.

The funny thing about interstellar is that people on the internet where still like "it doesn't work like that"

I'd genuinely love an entire episode dedicated to space related movies and accuracies factually and CGI

I really like Andrew Price. He seems like such a chill guy. If you guys could ever bring him in again, that would be an absolute treasure!

Title of movie: "MIST" Them: "ohmygod look at that SMOKE jeez"

Shark Boy and Lava Girl needs to be analyzed for its VFX perfection

You guys should try Alita next. The cgi used on her by weta is absolutely incredible.

The freaking god, Blender Guru, himself! Also it is such an Australian thing to do to be wearing shorts while everyone else is wearing full pants haha

So glad you mentioned Chappie! I was blown away when I watched that. Every scene with the robot, all I could.think about was how good the VFX was.

Hands down the most entertaining and interesting series on RU-vid.

The interstellar one is my favorite because Recently we Photographed a real black hole and discovered that the math was correct, every black hole that has an accretion disk should also have a Halo effect. More science though coming, not all Accretion Disks will Glow like that one, in Interstellar they were specifically using a Super Massive Black Hole your average blackhole doesn't cause a glow because it can't Ionize the gas or there simply isn't enough of it. With supermassive black holes though there's so much of it that it's basically a Nebula.

Interstellar’s black hole is what a black hole actually looks like, if you looked at it from above and blurred it, it would look identical to the first image of a black hole

3:14 When Andrew talks about how the ACES program was used for the LEGO movie and how everything works the way it should, so what he's saying is... everything is awesome.

I want an entire Interstellar breakdown. From the planets, to the dimension jumps. Give me allllllll of it.

They got Blender Guru in, I'm hoping one day Captain Disillusion will be in the vids :>

Coming back to this video and seeing the interstellar reaction after 2 black hole images, it’s shocking how accurately they’ve portrayed a black hole as to what was pictured. It makes me so giddy

One of my favorite details is always the teethmarks in Benny's helmet. I had several helmets that had those because when I was younger I used my teeth to take apart Legos and I always thought it was a nice touch.

You should make an entire video on Interstellar, the visuals are incredible

You guys should react to TRON Legacy. Maybe the light cycle scene or disc fight.

What they said: "They actually built a rendering engine just for this." What I wanted them to say: "They actually built a particle collider so they could create a real black hole just for this"

Fun Fact: EVERY scene with black hole Gargantua rendered for 100 hours. At that time there were no pictures of black holes! The first image of a black hole was made in 2019, the film was released in 2014. Christopher Nolan hired a physicist - name's Kip to make a model of a black hole (btw, one of the four robots (the fourth robot was in the beginning near the gates, I think) is named KIPP (on Mann's planet))

Not just a physicist...they started with KIP THORNE! A goddamn brilliant Nobel Laureate who had a huge contribution to gravitational physics and astrophysics!

Everything Ape: - Planet of the Apes trilogy / Cesar - Peter Jackson’s King Kong - Kong Island - Umbrella Academy / Pogo

Seriously. The black & white version of the Mist is the ultimate version. It's amazing how much that simple change makes the movie much, much better, and I already liked the original a lot, but the b&w made it one of my all time favorites.

This is outstanding content. You all explain the concepts so well and it’s awesome to see your interest and passion for the subject

I find it fascinating when you guys go into a detailed explanation like this... thank you for taking the time to share this with us!

Just do long episode named 4 hours of Interstellar analysis.

I dabble in CG but mainly do stop-frame and I just have to say - stop-frame isn't meant to be perfect, otherwise we wouldn't bother, it's the our relationship with the imperfection of hand-made cinema that makes people love it (among many other elements) - I love all forms of animation for different reasons, and one doesn't ever cancel out another

Wow I love the lego sequence and the explanation for why it really feels like "morning"

1.Alita Battle Angel 2. Watchmen 3.Stranger Things 3 4.Dunkirk 5.Aquaman

Imagine at the end of this series they reveal that all of them were cg the entire time

The black hole bit was an amazing blend of science and trivia. Even MORE glad I started binging these.

“A black hole... you can’t photograph it.” Event Horizon Telescope: Am I a joke to you?

React to district 9. One of my favourite movies. Had a super low budget apparently.

panic room is such a well made movie too. how it flicks thru the floors is amazing and really helps get a sense of distance between the characters.

Clint's genuinely having his mind blown in this one lol. Fun to watch!

You should review the illusion scene from Spider-Man ffh when you can!

A black hole you can't photograph it *2019: hold my beer*

Loved the vid and the super cool guest, been subscribed to him for quite a while now, I love his channel and y'all's.

It's been over 20 years since my last animation using Light Wave 3D. But after years of concussions, and just almost losing that ability to sit long hours and develop let alone sketch a piece of art, I'm just glad I still have that eye for art appreciation. Well, working with computers and 3D animation got me to where Iam today. But, I do miss the journey you take when creating a comic story board or even a 30 second render. I can say this, your channel sparks that little light in my mind to those creative days of old. I can fully relate with the comments you make and when I watch movies and animations. The discussions on craftsmanship, the pain staking hours, and little details that most people would miss. And I just thought I was anal about movies. LOL! I just subscribed and I'm really enjoying it! BTW. Have you guys done "The Abyss?" I'll have to look and see.

*Any weird bug or giant purple octopus appears* “In Australia we got them”

React to Shark boy & Lava girl. A true "masterpiece".

I love how knowledge and passionate these guys are.

You are amazing. My family loves watching your videos. Keep up the good work.

Can you guys please react to the quicksilver scene in the pentagon?

React to quicksilver saving everyone from the exploding mansion in Xmen Apocalypse

Blender Guru AND Interstellar? Now that's a legendary combo.

Thorough enjoyed this episode. Thank you.

I really think you should react to the CGI in 'Spy Kids game over', you won't regret it.

13:16 “a black hole, you can’t photograph it” NASA: haha space camera go click

Came back to this. One the best episodes ever.

Back to the future part II you be a nice one to check vfx on!

“You can’t photograph a black hole” NASA- well yes, but actually no.

You should react to some Kaiju movies! “Godzilla: King of the Monsters”, “Cloverfield”, “Pacific Rim”, etc.

You need to have Andrew do more of these! Blender Guru is the best.

I love that the picture we got of a black hole actually adds up to the render.

"You can't photograph a black hole." Messier 78: Am I a joke to you?

Kip Thorne not only helped produced Interstellar, he actually published a book, "The Science of Interstellar." It's definitely worth a read, especially when they land on a planet that is so close to the supermassive blackhole, how it affects the waves, and how this gravitational force turns a few hours into 25 years for the man on board.

An accretion disk is essentially a ring of matter that spreads out after circling around/into the black hole. Like when a star orbits a black hole and has its mass slowly sucked in. The curvy effect around the edge is the bending of light, like what happens with a fish eye lens, the mass of the black hole is so great that light behind it that would usually go straight, is curved into your line of sight.

@11:01 if you look the tattoos on his chest vanish when the knife goes past them. A good shot to prove that each scene was done by hand and also how much detail had to go into it. Such a good movie

YES Interstellar robot! But also Tron Legacy (the good AND bad... you know ehich scenes)

The scene in Sherlock Holmes 2 when they are running through the forest and trees are exploding right next to them from mortar and cannon fire, or the explosions in the dock scene in the first Sherlock Holmes

Didn't expect I would see blender guru in this video, how awesome.

Woah, i watched alot of you react videos and im most attached to this one cuz it has my GURU in it, the one and only ,Blender Guru, love your work guru ji, big fan and big follower, VFX REACTS MAKE MORE VIDEOS WITH HIM PLEASE👻👻👻

still dying to see the quicksilver saves everyone scene. id love to know how they perfected the flash and slow motion of the faces of everyone being moved and how they made the lighting work with the explosion happening!

Jumanji 1 and Jumanji 2!

Fascinating - I couldn’t put words to it until now, but seeing those Lego movie scenes gives me this visceral warm and happy feeling that I’m now realizing is from the true-sunlight effect. It’s more than a feeling of the shot being “right”; it’s also emotionally satisfying in some deeply ingrained way.

I love that the chin bar on the astronaut helmet from the classic Lego space set is broken. It happened to every single one of those that I ever had

Love,Death & Robots !!!! A lot of different CG art and techniques

Yall gotta react to Rango! That movie still looks amazing even after all these years!!

That's amazing! I really want to see you guys talk about Reboot from 1994, one of the first cartoons to ever be produced solely by CG!

I remember when I’d watch blender guru because I was clueless and I wanted to make games and 3d models and stuff. I haven’t done it in a while, but I still have blender just in case I want to re learn it. It’s so great that a free software can offer so much.

please react to the winners of the best visual effects Oscar over the years!! maybe see how it's improved and changed??

I'm glad you guys talked about Interstellar, because it's amazing how a movie contributed to science!

The explanation of the black hole was so cool. I loved that scene, but to know that they followed real physics makes me happy 😁

Iv watched Interstellar so many times and the music still gives my chills, my hair on body stands up 🤣

Since you mentioned how difficult fx shots are in smoke/fog, could you do Arrival?

Me: *knows nothing about VFX* Also me: *watches this channel*

Came back to watch this video after watching interstellar for the first time. And it’s so cool to hear about the black hole as well as how close the black hole is the picture that we finally got!!

That interstellar scene is still one of the greatest scenes ever
