Re: Paint evaporating nukes - apparently there was an advertising deal in the 1950's where paint suppliers used nuclear tests to show that nice well painted houses would be better at surviving a nuclear attack.

Great to see you guys do a video on NOPE. I worked on the film and wanted to point out that the long POV shot at 10:36 is fully CG. The infrared technique is described on the DigialMediaWorld and MPC websites (I linked to it in my original comment here but it was removed) so I recommend searching for it if you're curious about it. The technique was also incorporated on Ad Astra.

@Dee_Just_Dee Год назад

6:40 the thing that really slays me about this nuke shot is how the character is turned to embers and yet all the vegetation is completely fine until the shockwave hits. It's like the director had a seven-year-old's understanding of nuclear bombs. "Even just the light from the blast can kill you" [but everything inanimate around you is just fine?!] It's just so dumb the more you look at it. Like, this heavy jacket is evaporated off of her back, and yet there are individual blades of grass still standing.

@NomSauce Год назад

The breakdown for Nope completely explains to me how they made these scenes feel so damn uncomfortable to watch. It's not like we haven't seen plenty of night scenes in movies before, but I never quite understood what made this one so different when watching it in the cinema. Would be hilarious though if they ended up scrapping a lot of it and it was just good artistry from the people in the BTS lmao

@MoonWalkerTexsRanger Год назад

There are also really great day for night scenes in Arrival, very pleasing visually and quiet realistic.

@dracocrusher Год назад

Yeah, it's one of those things that just works so well that you don't really think about it until someone mentions that it's day for night, because there's so many instances of day for night looking just so wrong that it feels wild when they get it right and it actually feels genuinely dark without actually making things undetailed or too hard to make out. There's so many films with bad 'dark' shots that it's kind-of crazy just how right this got it and how readable everything is.

@PookDaWook Год назад

Saw Nope in IMAX and sat a few rows closer than I'd usually prefer. Ended up adding so much to the experience because every time the characters were staring up at the sky, I'd have to raise my head and dart my gaze around the massive screen trying to get a glimpse too. Second favorite cinema experience of all time after Annihilation.

I know in the show its meant to be the trinity test, but actually i think the inspiration used for the scene is the grable nuke cannon where they were testing shock waves.

@MuMBlzTOKES024 Год назад

Great to see you react to backdrafts practical fire stunts. Universal studios theme park had a backdraft ride that took you through the sets in this scene. They would lite this stuff on fire while explaining how some of set pieces worked. It had a Jumpscare built in! At the finale they would drop the platform everyone was standing on while the announcer would act like something had gone wrong with the set. It scared me so bad as a 11 year old I picked my dad up and carried him to the exit sign screaming. Alot of the explosions and fire effects you see are more like a reusable flame thrower and are very controllable as far as the size of the blast going off. Along with the reusable ones smaller one time explosives would be installed around to give the sense of chaos to the environment. The sets were built so you could get multiple shots even in these chaotic fire scenes.

Or more accurately, there's one big one, and that's why it's real hard to see anything in the first place. So Day-as-night creates a problem that, even in a scene where there might actually by shadows, they're in entirely the wrong places, because they're being cast by the sun, which isn't there, and no one will have bothered to match up a full clear moon to the sun. In real night, you end up with all the weird multiple shadows from multiple light sources if there's enough light to really cast them, but it's presumably very hard to do that when it was actually broad daylight on set.

Westworld S03E08 (season finale) has both amazing and janky VFX. Spoilers ahead! The scene where Caleb brings Dolores's pearl back into her original body and she then proceeds to reassemble herself looks quite visually stunning. They seem to have painted out the actress's entire body and motion tracked a 3D model of an android onto her. The lighting and the colour are really well done. She even puts her hands on like a glove, yet the transition from CG to her real hand is seamless. Worth taking a look. And as for the jankyness, there's a finishing scene where Caleb and Maeve are standing on a bridge and the background is a city plagued with rioting people. The explosions on the skyscrapers look like a quick and dirty After Effects composite: just 2D cards of stock footage with no reactive lighting, dare I say even proper color correction. Probably a last minute decision by the producers, especially given the quality of the aforementioned scene.

I like the idea that the way they talk about the Backdraft clip, it’s not “a barrel factory that’s exploding” but a factory that producing exploding barrels

@EdenMantle48 Год назад

Know I'm commenting late, but I recently watched The Mist (2007) and was pretty impressed with how a lot of the VFX held up, and I feel like a chunk of that was a good combination of practical and CG along with good reference and knowing what they could and couldn't do, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on it, especially a lot of the fire! (There's also a flaming man stunt, which you have some personal experience with!)

The *last agni kai fight from ATLA* would be perfect for for the Animators React. It's so stunning! For the VFX series you gotta react to *Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia!* Also at the end of second one there's a big water creature, so it might be cool to see what you think about that. Maybe also, Max Schneider's Gibberish music video, the editing kinda breaks my brain there. And for stuntmen react It would be cool to see you react to the duel from "Potop", it's really good sword fight (tho technically it's sabers i think)

The thing about Nope is it's not really just horror. It's a lot of things that makes it hard for me to categorize it as horror. It's also sort of a nod to a whole lotta films that Jordan Peele was hugely inspired by, which explains the Akira slide. 🙂

@beergnomedc Год назад

So many great references and homages in the movie. But yeah, not fully horror. Lots of horror elements, but mostly I would say it's suspense.

NOPE looked Beautiful either Day or Night. Especially at Night, when a lot of other media struggle to nail those scenes. That movie was damn entertaining, but still was one thing that felt Great was Night scenes looked like Exactly from the Poster.

@asuintrototheatre4317 Год назад

Very often you guys reference different styles and techniques being used to film great “reference” imagery. This episode you kind of alluded to a thought that I’ve had in the back of my head for a long time. A lot of times it feels like the term “reference imagery” almost parallels “we tried something cool, spent a lot of money, didn’t necessarily work so we’re not using it for the final cut.“ I guess the root of my real question is, when exploring new ideas and techniques for a production is there a wiggle room to explore and try new techniques without a proven outcome, a budget line for explorative fun, or do you need to prove your plan of attack in the initial pitch in order for the studio to sign on. Love you guys! Most of the time you guys are talking a foreign language, but I am on the personal journey of learning VFX, inspired by you guys.

If there's one thing Nope has managed to do, create a level of excitement and terror both brilliantly mixed together, something Jordan Peele has often done in his works. Also, speaking of 1988's Akira, Em doing the iconic bike slide that Kaneda does in the movie isn't the only reference present to the movie. Jean Jacket's destruction mirrors that of Tetsuo, in the way they both expand and mutate, before exploding. But wait, there's more--according to Jordan Peele, the design of Jean Jacket was inspired by the mechs from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Time and again, Peele has turned down offers to direct a live-action adaptation of Akira.

@MoonWalkerTexsRanger Год назад

I didn’t know that, thats so cool

@dracocrusher Год назад

Are you sure it's inspired by the mechs and not the angels? Because it really doesn't feel like a Unit, but it absolutely feels like Ramiel or something, right? Also, good on him for not doing live action Akira. I'm really glad he has enough respect to avoid that, I'm sure he could do some really cool stuff for it but live action anime is stupidly hard to get right and it just doesn't feel like it'd fit in his list of credits at all. I'm super satisfied with Peele just going from comedy skits to really meaningful surreal weirdo horror films for weird people like me who enjoy reading into things.

Hey guys! There’s a scene in Starship Troopers that I just can’t figure out- about 22 minutes in Denise Richard’s character leaves on a tube train and it shows Casper Van Dein’s reflection. It’s a tiny detail but the more I think about it the more I can’t figure out how they did it with the effects of the time. I would love you guys to take a look at this neat effect!

@AndyGilleand Год назад

The best way to do day for night is to film on a totally overcast day, so there's no directionality to the environment lighting, and no sharp shadows on the ground. Of course you can then add lighting for your foreground to simulate moonlight. Obviously, it can be difficult waiting for the weather to be just right to get a totally overcast day, but if you want the environment to look right, that's what you want to do.

@wej0w Год назад

Awesome I just watched Nope last weekend. It was a fun watch nice twist in the end, although I wished it had some more intensity. But am now totally blown away now by how the SFX was done for the full sky, since every shot looked amazing and the light balance seemed perfect Peele nailed that shit.

Don't forget older ones like "Sum of all fears" or the opening episode of the old TV series set in the US after nuclear war. And don't forget the nuclear explosions in the Terminator franchise.
