Rewatching this now..is Brian's joke comment the real reason you guys stopped ripping on bad CG shots hahaha? Make sure not to alienate possible future guests?
You've had visual effects artists react, and stunt person reacts, but there's something that is literally 50 percent of any movie. I would love to see sound effects artists react.
I worked with Bryan on 'The Death of Beckett' sequence as it was called. I composited the wide shot of him walking down the stairs, the one they talked about his hand coming off the railing. I still remember the shot name - DB670. That shot will always be on my VFX reel. Bryan is a wonderful VFX Supervisor and a great person to be friends with!
Good freaking job to you, Bryan and everyone that worked on that, it was the most satisfying death you could ever give that piece of crap (amazingly acted) character. Amazing actor, amazing script/direction and amazing VFX makes for amazing scenes.
I'm sorry... Thanos I think is the best CG to date. He actually had fuzz on his arms, veins, so much detail to make him as real as possible. Making it clear, Infinity War Thanos. End Game Thanos seemed off.
I honestly believe no movie has surpassed Dead Man's Chest and At World's End in terms of combining practical effects and VFX ever since they came out (or in quality of VFX overall)
Yes!! Each one of the movies did some rlly impressive effects for the time, like the undead pirates, the kraken etc... and that's not even mentioning Davy Jones
The way he said "You want me to...work on that?" with that large smile, makes me 102% sure that he loves his job. Of course he does, look at these incredible shots! I hope he is proud. The talented people are always good because they just love it so much. I hope to see him back on, thank you!
So many don’t appreciate just how amazing the VFX in the Pirates of the Caribbean films are. To this day, Davy Jones is still one of the best CGI characters ever. Still holds up spectacularly after 15 years
Wait, 15 years?! Has it been THAT long already?! *Looks up Dead Man's Chest release date * Damn, 2006 already... when I think about the year 2006 it feels like so much longer ago than Pirates 2 is in my memory. Absolutely amazing that Davy Jones still holds up so incredibly well!
Davy Jones CGI has no right to still be this *GOOD* for a 2006 Disney movie, and yet it does, even better than most CGI today! Props to all involved in the POTC trilogy!
@@williamphillips2671 yeah it is just look at like 90% of the horror movies that have come out in the last 5 years many of them have the same or even worse cgi then these movies had
I love how Brian looks into the camera when he is explaining things knowing he is talking to us and not just Sam and Niko. Makes it a whole lot more felt when listening to him break it down.
Something about the way that he talks to the camera occasionally just makes me feel so comforted, he's like the nerdy relatable uncle telling you stories about his job.
Honestly, while I love most of the effects in these movies, especially Davy Jones, this shot took me out of it a little. It doesn't feel like, to me, that he's really there. Needed a little more damage to him and his clothing, a little better interaction with the particles. But that's just my 2 cents.
It would be fun to see an evolution of an effect, such as a movent in zero gravity. Show how early sci-fi movies accomplished this (probably floating people/props on wires) and then showing examples of that effect through the years until more modern examples like Interstellar.
@@kjoc70 I feel like Nolan and Kubrick would both do it, but the similarities end there. Nolan would send McConaughey to a Black Hole once or maybe twice, let it crunch and that'd be it. Kubrick would still be reshooting it to this day because Matthew didn't stare quite right into the Event Horizon. Or because the black hole didn't quite catch him the way Kubrick wanted him to be caught. Also, because time dilation, 'to this day' would be like... fifty years from now.
Please continue this show. Getting to see all of these guests who I never would have seen or ever heard of without this show is incredible. I'm not a vfx artist or even close to being in the fim industry but I find these breakdowns so fascinating. Keep up the good work!
@@chrislenferna4384 Same. They only had 2 episodes out when I discovered this series. And I had no idea that this would become a weekly ritual for me, for the next 2 years or so. I didn't know this channel when I got their 1st video of this series in my recommendations. Sometimes the UA-cam algorithm just gets it absolutely right
Agreed, I love hearing the input from the artists behind the scenes about all the stuff that goes into smaller and more epic scenes. From a documentary aspect through commentary like this I can enjoy scenes from movies that are otherwise (storywise) 'trashy' and I would never watch but there can be so many fascinating details about particular scenes. Similar goes to Stuntmen react - I have no interest in HK and 80's fight movies but explaining the whole choreography behind them is interesting to watch.
I've been watching these guys since the beginning, think it's about 10 years now. This show really is the driving force of their channel these days. Feel like they cut down on the actual VFX videos a lot.
The way I felt watching that scene from At World's End in a huge theater with the perfect seat for the surround sound and barely anyone in the theater...it was incredible. I have always said that was the best CGI scene ever done to date. Still rings true.
There's nothing I enjoy more than someone who is an expert in their craft explaining the process and thinking behind their actions. So cool to see the show come so far from how it first started with three people on a couch to always having some of the most insane guests in the industry. Really happy this show exists and I have learned more about effects than I ever thought I would want to know.
13:37 "Turn down the painterly slider" Hilarious. Translating non-technical feedback is the experience of every creative professional working with other teams/departments/disciplines. I'm constantly clarifying what terms mean in feedback. I wish there was just a big button in the toolbar called the "POP" button.
He is so right about getting notes that are confusing. When I was doing licensing work for Disney years ago the art director would say "Needs more tone on tone" The head of my studio and I had no idea what that meant. Took us like two weeks to realize he wanted the pure black on the image painted over with color. Very frustrating at times.
Ikr, one of my friend does 3D renders. Their boss was like "This has to be more greener" or was it "This has to be more bright". Like he started losing brain cells 😂
Lord Becket's death from At World's End is one of the best villain finales ever. The music, the spectacle, the performance and the visuals all come together in such a great way that we don't care that it is immersion breaking.
Brian is probably the best guest you've guys have had on the show in terms of explaining things so that the average person can understand these complicated graphic problems, really a fantastic episode
Bryan is so personable. I could listen to him tell random stories forever. The blurry rock saying is officially part of my 3D learning now. That was such good advice.
It is like Stephen King talking to his doctor and asking, "Given a large supply of morphine; how much of themself could a person eat?" and, "Is it possible for a human to swallow a cat?"
There're a few movies I've written that would need several terrorist-like questions to be answered in order for the scenes to look right. I'd also need forensics specialists and maybe even whoever knows how would an explosive energy beam creating an instant firewall in the middle of a forest would look like. Above all, I'd also need to know how much big and deep a lake should be in order to destroy a city seaside front with a tsunami. The scene would be a big battle where the villain decides to annoy/challenge/tire out the hero by "pushing" enough water from the lake so that a couple of miles of seaside front of the city are in danger of being devastated by the tsunami. The hero would answer and basically "destroy" most of the tsunami.... which would also mean whoever I hire would also need to know how much you can "damage" a tsunami while still being able to wreck house's windows, storefronts and such.
This is definitely one of the most informative and detailed CG breakedowns that Corridor has ever done. I love to see CG artists breakdown their own work.
how do they get around copyright on YT? I uploaded a few reactions/reviews using clips and they always get blocked yet these guys use much longer clips than me lol is it just cos they got a few million subs or something?
@@stevenborg102 I mean before they make the video they contact someone in the company probably months beforehand with a letter. You're definitely right about them not usually have a pay button though.
By far my favorite guest (even if the others were great too!). Having knowledge is one thing, be able to communicate that knowledge and making it so interesting is another. Bryan is just fantastic! It's like he's a teacher/historian/artist all rolled up into one. I believe that a big part of the appeal here is that the stories were not "I worked on X, I'm awesome", they were "I worked on X, IT WAS AWESOME!!!"
Bryan is not an old guy. He has kept his inner child alive, therefore he is a young guy with an older body. Only people who have lost connection to their inner child actually BECOME old.
@@specialk314 did you see their recent video on the corridor Chanel? That’s almost better than most cinema VFX recently. Even compared to big budget movies like black widow. The only thing they are missing is someone willing to pay them for a feature length job.
@@specialk314 You're so unbelievably ignorant. The people who make cinema level VFX have huge teams of hundreds of people, often working on a 2-3 minute sequence for months with a 6-7 figure budget. Niko & Sam's team is a couple dozen people at most, and they have to produce longer videos more frequently due to the nature of youtube business, funded by fans' donations/subscriptions. If Niko & Sam were hired to do VFX for a feature length movie, with a huge team and budget, their CGI would be as good if not better than the stuff you see in movies today. In fact their recent stuff already looks better than some movies.
There is something beautiful about a CGI company hiring an engineering firm to ask, "how would this fall?"; The thought of being an engineer who has studied to build but is hired to destroy warmly resonates with me
@Hadrim Losthor You're absolutely right, all studying engineers will at some point come across civil and structural demolition engineering and even then, many would take that on to a professional career. I was tunnel vision focused on the idea of engineering in the sense of construction; none-the-less, a wonderful exposure to an interesting and different consultation for an engineer.
The shot in Eternals when the Celestial comes out if the water stood out to me, because it looked real. Water doesn't break immediately when you come out, it stays uniform and you can see that in slow-mo. The water looks like it's stretching before it breaks and the swimmer comes out of the water, and I feel they captured that really well when the Celestial comes out of the ocean.
*Explorers, 1985* by _Joe Dante_ Industrial Light & Magic pulled off some _wonderful_ shots in that film with the home-made spaceship. A particular shot is where the boys flying the ship are approached by a police helicopter at night, and there's a _full turn around shot_ of the helicopter circling the ship, first shining a light _on_ the forcefield, then shining a light _through_ the force field. How?
Also, Can y’all look at the side by side of Diablo 2s cinematics. Idk why but the older ones feel more skillful. m.ua-cam.com/video/P_cKbNNhYkA/v-deo.html
I feel ike you guys need to do a separate episode talking only about the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. There's a lot of cool stuff to break down throughout all five films!
A norwegian film series that is all about destruction: "Bølgen" (the wave), "Skjelvet" (the earthquack) and "Nordsjøen" (the northsea). Relative low budget movies, would be fun to see you guys react to them!
I think you meant earthquake (or actually The Quake)… although I’d give a movie named earthquack a watch. 🌎🦆 It would be cool to see them watch these movies. I think I’ve actually seen a bit of The Quake (or might have been The Wave) in a class, a bit before the pandemic hit.
i have seen all VFX artists react here but i don't know why i was only able to co relate and connect with bryan the way he was explaining things it felts a lot of lesson. students or interns under him would be definitely be lucky to learn from him.
i love the chemistry in this one, bryan is pretty funny and knows how to bounce off the boys. “You ever get a splinter?” was so funny to me for some reason
It’s so cool seeing you guys go from just you on a couch talking about VFX to having actual high-profile people on as guest to talk about these big budget popular films. It’s just amazing development and I just can’t stop watching these things
even though my bg is in practical FX and I feel like you guys are hardly speaking English sometimes, I can't stop watching your content. I really enjoyed listening to Bryan speak, he seems to have a wealth of knowledge to impart and there just isn't enough hours in the day to absorb it all. He reminds me of my professors in school. Man, I love filmmaking.
About out of focus things, it seems a lot of people don't seem to realize the vast majority of what we see is actually out of focus (the focal point for human vision is tiny in comparison to our full field of view) so our brains evolved specifically to perceive a ton more detail from an out of focus image than people would expect. That's why even when something is going to be out of focus the details still matter just as much as they do in the part that is going to be in focus.
I’d just like to say it’s extremely satisfying to hear the Norrington stair scene described as iconic because I once had to act it out in charades and no one got it! They teased me afterwards because “that’s not a well known scene” and it’s haunted me ever since😅😂 I feel VINDICATED!🙌
It's probably not one many would think of but Shin Godzilla had some effects that had me second guess a few scenes. They used models and CG for some scenes, and made a CG Godzilla that was true to the original movies. Super Cool!!
Sam : what kinda safety reasons? Brian: splinterssss This was really fun to watch and knowing that the guy joking about his works really have made the 'sea to bark'... Just awsome.
4:42 "retiming the speed of the rig to account for the framerate" Amazing. I've heard that 'artistry is the ability to CREATE within the confines of the medium' and I have always loved that idea. Bryan Grill is obviously a true artist.
I love this series as a whole, but this episode was by far my favorite. A lot of well explained knowledge and experiences. 20 minutes felt like 20 seconds.
It's good to be reminded that a finished movie is composed of an incredible number of disparate parts, any one of which has the potential to break the illusion, although some more than others. The story, the script for that story, storyboard, casting, costumes, the acting, the synergy or lack thereof between actors, the sets, the set hardware (like cars, bikes etc.)the stunt people, the layer upon layer of VFX, the director, the other directors, and on and on. And all of these are usually a team. It's no wonder that the credits at the end seem like a full blown movie in their own right. Thank you all for all your hard work in the entertainment we consume. And thanks up front for in a few short years being able to fake anyone saying anything from anywhere, and having the illusion be so good you can't tell unless you happen to be in that spot and there's no one there. Hopefully, true 3D holoprojectors (maybe tactile feedback, too) will take a decade or more.
This is actually such a good episode. I would have never imagined listening to so much incite of what goes on a movie production where effects like this are used. And listening from a guy who has worked in some of the most cool VFX shots I've watched in the past its just amazing!
I'd really love to hear more about how vfx are planned, like what goes into deciding HOW to do a shot and how they make decisions about what they need to shoot on set to get the vfx right
This was one of my favorite guests for a lot of reasons, but mainly because these are some of the coolest shots that I remember. They are huge scenes too.
Is this the first time Scanline has come in as a guest? If so, I'm impressed. They mention scanline (as a benchmark) a lot and they managed to bring someone in as a guest.
"Apollo 13, 6th Element, and Titanic were the first 3 movies I worked on." Quite a modest start all told only working on 3 of the most spectacular movies of the decade.
Would "Sound Designers React" be too specific of an ask? It would be awesome to get Ben Burt talking about droid sounds or Jango's vaccum bomb from Episode II. Maybe as a special instead of a series?
I think there's a lot of potential for that kind of special episodes, I'd be really curious to see what pros of the domain got to say on some films, series or effect in general.
This is my favorite episode by far. It's so great when you have actual CGi directors on the show that can give you the full insight on these scenes. It's so interesting!!
Speaking of hiding VFX, Eternals did a good job at that by setting so many of the fights at night, dusk, pre-dawn, or in a cave. The Deviants were generic Edge of Tomorrow-esque monsters, but still had that cool moving skin similar to the Mimics. You just couldn't see it because they all but blended into the dark backgrounds.
I feel like Ironman 3 doesn't get enough love. It had silly bits, but overall I loved that movie and still do. That scene when he calls the armor to cover Pepper was so good.
I love when it's a mix of practical and CG. For me it sells it so much more! And I love being amazed and then learning what I was watching and thought was practical, was actually CG. I find that when I see things that are pure CG. A lot of the time, it comes off as empty and soulless. Not all the time, just a lot of the time
See, a lot of people I see complaining of like "oh movies today are too reliant on CG" and "CG sucks" and all that, and frankly I think this show makes it pretty clear that CG itself doesn't have to suck and often is more prominent in a shot than CG haters would even realize. I think the complaints people level at CG in general are really faults of lazy, rushed, or underskilled CG work.
Agreed. A lot of people don’t like it because Tony was out of the suit so much and Pepper ended up being the one that killed Killian, but I thought it was great. It was the first MCU movie I ever watched as well, so I have the nostalgia factor as well
@@SPX157 dead men tell no tales was mediocre. First three are top tier for sure. OST wasn't as bad as people say. My problem is that I just felt so disconnected from everything pirates of the Caribbean.
I just finished Dead Men Tell No Tales. It wasn’t terrible. But not amazing as At Worlds End. The first 3 films are Great. The 4th & the 5th films aren’t bad but not something to write home about. Overall, I enjoyed the P.O.T.C. series. & Thank you Corridor Digital for talking about Pirates of the Caribbean.
If anyone is wondering, Sam is wearing a Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium Far Cry 6 Edition. It's a great step up from the Timex Expedition Field Chronograph he usually wears.
This was really awesome. When it comes to having blurred out details they are absolutely correct. You need a plethora of details to blur it out. I have found that They don’t necessarily need to be correct details to be good looking blurred out details however. Getting an AI to generate a bunch of random almost right looking things will work just fine. Another thing to consider is that a background isn’t going to be one solid blur. At different points away from the camera it will be blurred out in different ways. Perhaps if you put a paint filter to smudge it out and then blur it out you can get a more natural effect. Of course I watch the show because it helps me with 2-D art which might not always apply to film. Any feedback on this comment would be helpful from people in the know. We all just learning here.
Thanks for watching er'body! If you want to watch this entire show from the beginning you can do that here ►

reminds me of George RR Martin
Something about the way that he talks to the camera occasionally just makes me feel so comforted, he's like the nerdy relatable uncle telling you stories about his job.
Man, this guy was so knowledgeable and fit with the show so well that I'd honestly love to see him as a regular guest.
That Pirate scene of nothing but destruction around him and the slow pan is soooooooo breathtaking and will always be embedded in my brain.

Honestly, while I love most of the effects in these movies, especially Davy Jones, this shot took me out of it a little. It doesn't feel like, to me, that he's really there. Needed a little more damage to him and his clothing, a little better interaction with the particles. But that's just my 2 cents.
I absolutely LOVE that Corridor is making these episodes longer! Keep on going guys!
It would be fun to see an evolution of an effect, such as a movent in zero gravity. Show how early sci-fi movies accomplished this (probably floating people/props on wires) and then showing examples of that effect through the years until more modern examples like Interstellar.
Just go from Barbarella (1968) & A Space Odyssey (1968) to Apollo 13 (1995) to Gravity (2013)
One of them used real microgravity.
@@orlandough5010 that sounds more like a something Kubrick would do.
Don't forget about Moonraker
I think they are waiting with this until the movie that Tom Cruise shoots in the actual space comes out
@@kjoc70 I feel like Nolan and Kubrick would both do it, but the similarities end there.
Nolan would send McConaughey to a Black Hole once or maybe twice, let it crunch and that'd be it.
Kubrick would still be reshooting it to this day because Matthew didn't stare quite right into the Event Horizon. Or because the black hole didn't quite catch him the way Kubrick wanted him to be caught.
Also, because time dilation, 'to this day' would be like... fifty years from now.

Can we get Bryan back for an episode solely devoted to Fifth Element please? Seems a cool guy, I'm sure ehd be up for it
And Apollo 13!
Such a masterpiece movie.
The fifth Element effects have held up remarkably well!
Yes please!
13:37 "Turn down the painterly slider" Hilarious. Translating non-technical feedback is the experience of every creative professional working with other teams/departments/disciplines. I'm constantly clarifying what terms mean in feedback. I wish there was just a big button in the toolbar called the "POP" button.
He is so right about getting notes that are confusing. When I was doing licensing work for Disney years ago the art director would say "Needs more tone on tone" The head of my studio and I had no idea what that meant. Took us like two weeks to realize he wanted the pure black on the image painted over with color. Very frustrating at times.
Bad communication can ruin so much.

Look up Omeleto The Lion, it's a great sketch on the subject although from the perspective of a voice actor instead of an artist.
Ikr, one of my friend does 3D renders. Their boss was like "This has to be more greener" or was it "This has to be more bright".
Like he started losing brain cells 😂
Lord Becket's death from At World's End is one of the best villain finales ever. The music, the spectacle, the performance and the visuals all come together in such a great way that we don't care that it is immersion breaking.
Why ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html…..
Brian is probably the best guest you've guys have had on the show in terms of explaining things so that the average person can understand these complicated graphic problems, really a fantastic episode
Bryan is so personable. I could listen to him tell random stories forever. The blurry rock saying is officially part of my 3D learning now. That was such good advice.
Cool
"We consulted an engineer to tell us how to bring down the Eifel Tower." Yeah, that's not gonna get you put on a couple of watch lists.
Why ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html…..
It is like Stephen King talking to his doctor and asking, "Given a large supply of morphine; how much of themself could a person eat?" and, "Is it possible for a human to swallow a cat?"
There're a few movies I've written that would need several terrorist-like questions to be answered in order for the scenes to look right. I'd also need forensics specialists and maybe even whoever knows how would an explosive energy beam creating an instant firewall in the middle of a forest would look like.
Above all, I'd also need to know how much big and deep a lake should be in order to destroy a city seaside front with a tsunami. The scene would be a big battle where the villain decides to annoy/challenge/tire out the hero by "pushing" enough water from the lake so that a couple of miles of seaside front of the city are in danger of being devastated by the tsunami. The hero would answer and basically "destroy" most of the tsunami.... which would also mean whoever I hire would also need to know how much you can "damage" a tsunami while still being able to wreck house's windows, storefronts and such.
I dunno why man but I love your profile pic. I hope thats actually you.
@@euansmith3699 LMAO swallow a whole cat?! The question is will it Blend? Lol
Bryan is like a wizard to these guys, I love it. You can feel his decades of experience.... these guys will be like him in 30 years
This man has such an amazing voice in addition to decades of knowledge and experience. I’d listen to him talking for hours
Why ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html…..
Could not agree more! I’m voting he become a regular on the couch.
And he’s so sweet and jovial! One of the best guests yet I’d say!
This is definitely one of the most informative and detailed CG breakedowns that Corridor has ever done. I love to see CG artists breakdown their own work.
how do they get around copyright on YT? I uploaded a few reactions/reviews using clips and they always get blocked yet these guys use much longer clips than me lol is it just cos they got a few million subs or something?
@@stevenborg102 They probably pay a special fee to the company in control of the copyrights.
@@seanrosenau2088 yeah maybe. Sucks they dont even give an option to pay
@@stevenborg102 I mean before they make the video they contact someone in the company probably months beforehand with a letter. You're definitely right about them not usually have a pay button though.
@@seanrosenau2088 Blimey. Never heard of people doing that but could be. Why cant i have that option then lol
By far my favorite guest (even if the others were great too!). Having knowledge is one thing, be able to communicate that knowledge and making it so interesting is another. Bryan is just fantastic! It's like he's a teacher/historian/artist all rolled up into one. I believe that a big part of the appeal here is that the stories were not "I worked on X, I'm awesome", they were "I worked on X, IT WAS AWESOME!!!"
I love how Bryan is an old guy and he's still making "pchew" and "shoom" sound effects with his mouth.
Bryan is not an old guy. He has kept his inner child alive, therefore he is a young guy with an older body. Only people who have lost connection to their inner child actually BECOME old.
everyone ages, only some actually get old.
I mean, the guy is 51 I wouldn't consider it old.
When one becomes a man one puts away childish things, one of the most childish of which is the very concept of things being childish
Til the day we die
Great of Sam to get his dad in!
HAHAHA that was my first thought.
FFS will you bot bi.tches sh.ut up???!!
(Apologize for the periods, got to work around the censor)
Thank you! I came here for this exact comment!
It's such a small thing but I love how Bryan spoke to camera for parts of this
One day Sam and Niko are the ones gonna be the celebrities that are interviewed and I’ll be here for it!
Not for putting out cinema level effects though
@@specialk314 did you see their recent video on the corridor Chanel? That’s almost better than most cinema VFX recently. Even compared to big budget movies like black widow.
The only thing they are missing is someone willing to pay them for a feature length job.
@@specialk314 You're so unbelievably ignorant. The people who make cinema level VFX have huge teams of hundreds of people, often working on a 2-3 minute sequence for months with a 6-7 figure budget. Niko & Sam's team is a couple dozen people at most, and they have to produce longer videos more frequently due to the nature of youtube business, funded by fans' donations/subscriptions. If Niko & Sam were hired to do VFX for a feature length movie, with a huge team and budget, their CGI would be as good if not better than the stuff you see in movies today. In fact their recent stuff already looks better than some movies.
There is something beautiful about a CGI company hiring an engineering firm to ask, "how would this fall?"; The thought of being an engineer who has studied to build but is hired to destroy warmly resonates with me
@Hadrim Losthor You're absolutely right, all studying engineers will at some point come across civil and structural demolition engineering and even then, many would take that on to a professional career. I was tunnel vision focused on the idea of engineering in the sense of construction; none-the-less, a wonderful exposure to an interesting and different consultation for an engineer.
More of Sam Senior please. This has been the best episode so far! It's super interesting to listen to Brians points of view and insights
The shot in Eternals when the Celestial comes out if the water stood out to me, because it looked real. Water doesn't break immediately when you come out, it stays uniform and you can see that in slow-mo. The water looks like it's stretching before it breaks and the swimmer comes out of the water, and I feel they captured that really well when the Celestial comes out of the ocean.
You saying this reminds me of the shot where a ship emerges from the water in Dune. That looks incredibly realistic to me.
*Explorers, 1985* by _Joe Dante_
Industrial Light & Magic pulled off some _wonderful_ shots in that film with the home-made spaceship.
A particular shot is where the boys flying the ship are approached by a police helicopter at night, and there's a _full turn around shot_ of the helicopter circling the ship, first shining a light _on_ the forcefield, then shining a light _through_ the force field.
How?
Also, Can y’all look at the side by side of Diablo 2s cinematics. Idk why but the older ones feel more skillful. m.ua-cam.com/video/P_cKbNNhYkA/v-deo.html
damn someone else who has actually watched Explorers.
FUCK YEAH! Good call dude.
Here for this!
Fancy meeting you here!
I feel ike you guys need to do a separate episode talking only about the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. There's a lot of cool stuff to break down throughout all five films!
Sam: It still looks like crap, just blurry crap.
Bryan: You are ready, my young apprentice.
@Laura Brown bro u good?
@@caelum2185 it's spam, you should report this kind of thing when you see it.
A norwegian film series that is all about destruction: "Bølgen" (the wave), "Skjelvet" (the earthquack) and "Nordsjøen" (the northsea). Relative low budget movies, would be fun to see you guys react to them!
I think you meant earthquake (or actually The Quake)… although I’d give a movie named earthquack a watch. 🌎🦆
It would be cool to see them watch these movies. I think I’ve actually seen a bit of The Quake (or might have been The Wave) in a class, a bit before the pandemic hit.
Definitely! The effects in those movies are actually very impressive
@@HyperWolf I would absolutely pay for a movie called The Earthquack, where a giant duck causes natural disasters.
I liked Bølgen! Had no idea it's a trilogy though.

I love how this literal OG is so comfortable with these guys abs treats them with obvious respect.
Please do a VFX artists’ reaction video to Aliens (by James Cameron): some of the best old-school effects ever captured on film!
Pirates of the Caribbean Trilogy has the most amazing visual effects which still stands out, some impressive hard work
This episode was particularly interesting. Lots of fascinating insight, I'd love to see Bryan back on the show in future
It's lovely how proud Sam is of his dad.
bahahahahah
i have seen all VFX artists react here but i don't know why i was only able to co relate and connect with bryan the way he was explaining things it felts a lot of lesson. students or interns under him would be definitely be lucky to learn from him.
i love the chemistry in this one, bryan is pretty funny and knows how to bounce off the boys. “You ever get a splinter?” was so funny to me for some reason
Holy shit! This guy is a legend! His movies stand the test of time. The Fifth Element came out over 20 years and still looks amazing! 👏🏼
One of the best episodes yet, love hearing how it is to really work with directors and artists
It’s so cool seeing you guys go from just you on a couch talking about VFX to having actual high-profile people on as guest to talk about these big budget popular films. It’s just amazing development and I just can’t stop watching these things
Brian is the best guest I think you've ever had on this show! What a genuine character. Great show guys!
Why ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html…..
I've watched every single VFX and stuntmen react, so getting new uploads is always the highlight of my day. You guys are awesome!
even though my bg is in practical FX and I feel like you guys are hardly speaking English sometimes, I can't stop watching your content. I really enjoyed listening to Bryan speak, he seems to have a wealth of knowledge to impart and there just isn't enough hours in the day to absorb it all. He reminds me of my professors in school. Man, I love filmmaking.
I genuinely enjoy Bryan's presence on the couch. He's so down to earth and humourous.
About out of focus things, it seems a lot of people don't seem to realize the vast majority of what we see is actually out of focus (the focal point for human vision is tiny in comparison to our full field of view) so our brains evolved specifically to perceive a ton more detail from an out of focus image than people would expect. That's why even when something is going to be out of focus the details still matter just as much as they do in the part that is going to be in focus.
well said
I’d just like to say it’s extremely satisfying to hear the Norrington stair scene described as iconic because I once had to act it out in charades and no one got it! They teased me afterwards because “that’s not a well known scene” and it’s haunted me ever since😅😂 I feel VINDICATED!🙌
That scene where Tony "rescues" Pepper instead of himself chokes me up every time. Probably my favorite, most rewatched scene in the entire MCU.
"Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World" had INSANE destruction scenes, curious how much was CGI.
Why ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html…..
Plenty of it was CGI, and not just in those scenes... ILM also worked on that movie.
i'd love a whole episode just about tall ships, Master and Commander, Black Sails, etc
It's probably not one many would think of but Shin Godzilla had some effects that had me second guess a few scenes. They used models and CG for some scenes, and made a CG Godzilla that was true to the original movies. Super Cool!!
Sam : what kinda safety reasons?
Brian: splinterssss
This was really fun to watch and knowing that the guy joking about his works really have made the 'sea to bark'... Just awsome.
Love the way this guy talks to the camera and looks into it, feels like he is really talking to you
Why ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html…..
Thank you Corridor Crew !!
Great job editing the episode with all the clips. Well Done !
Thanks again for being so fun.

Aside from the obvious things, I really like how relatively honest he is both to others and to himself.

4:42 "retiming the speed of the rig to account for the framerate"
Amazing.
I've heard that 'artistry is the ability to CREATE within the confines of the medium' and I have always loved that idea.
Bryan Grill is obviously a true artist.
I love this series as a whole, but this episode was by far my favorite. A lot of well explained knowledge and experiences. 20 minutes felt like 20 seconds.
It's good to be reminded that a finished movie is composed of an incredible number of disparate parts, any one of which has the potential to break the illusion, although some more than others. The story, the script for that story, storyboard, casting, costumes, the acting, the synergy or lack thereof between actors, the sets, the set hardware (like cars, bikes etc.)the stunt people, the layer upon layer of VFX, the director, the other directors, and on and on. And all of these are usually a team. It's no wonder that the credits at the end seem like a full blown movie in their own right.
Thank you all for all your hard work in the entertainment we consume. And thanks up front for in a few short years being able to fake anyone saying anything from anywhere, and having the illusion be so good you can't tell unless you happen to be in that spot and there's no one there.
Hopefully, true 3D holoprojectors (maybe tactile feedback, too) will take a decade or more.
And then u just pirate the movie for free✌
Mucho texto
This is actually such a good episode. I would have never imagined listening to so much incite of what goes on a movie production where effects like this are used.
And listening from a guy who has worked in some of the most cool VFX shots I've watched in the past its just amazing!
Please have Bryan back, this episode was so insightful
It's amazing to get such seasoned veterans on to review their work; this celebration of living history is a delight and I can't wait to see more.
I'd really love to hear more about how vfx are planned, like what goes into deciding HOW to do a shot and how they make decisions about what they need to shoot on set to get the vfx right
This was one of my favorite guests for a lot of reasons, but mainly because these are some of the coolest shots that I remember. They are huge scenes too.
Please bring Bryan again on the show. His knowledge is amaizing.
Imagine how happy the engineer they consulted with for destroying eiffel tower must have been.
Why ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html…..
Is this the first time Scanline has come in as a guest?
If so, I'm impressed.
They mention scanline (as a benchmark) a lot and they managed to bring someone in as a guest.
The guy on the ship: "This is fine. I'm okay with the events that are unfolding currently."
"Apollo 13, 6th Element, and Titanic were the first 3 movies I worked on." Quite a modest start all told only working on 3 of the most spectacular movies of the decade.
Why ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html…..
Sixth element? That Leslie Nielsen movie?
Would "Sound Designers React" be too specific of an ask? It would be awesome to get Ben Burt talking about droid sounds or Jango's vaccum bomb from Episode II. Maybe as a special instead of a series?
I think there's a lot of potential for that kind of special episodes, I'd be really curious to see what pros of the domain got to say on some films, series or effect in general.
Seth Rogen's chapters about him dealing with the heads of movie studios are both hilarious and eye opening
Chapter 1: eating elk
Chapter 2: eating elk
Chapter 3: had DMT
Chapter 4: NewsRadio, had DMT, hunting elk
Chapter 5: MMA, DMT, hunting elk, eating elk
Chapter 6: JRE, MMA, DMT
Chapter 7: JRE, DMT, Coronavirus
Chapter 8: JRE, Ivermectin, DMT, blasting Brian Stelter, eating elk
@@PhantomFilmAustralia ???
@@manicj369 You mustn't know too much about Joe Rogan. My bad.
@@PhantomFilmAustralia lmao I'd rather know more about Seth Rogen and his vase making techniques
I always loved that shot in Iron Man 3 when the suit flies and attaches to Pepper's body. Looks as good as when I saw it the first time
This is my favorite episode by far. It's so great when you have actual CGi directors on the show that can give you the full insight on these scenes. It's so interesting!!
Speaking of hiding VFX, Eternals did a good job at that by setting so many of the fights at night, dusk, pre-dawn, or in a cave. The Deviants were generic Edge of Tomorrow-esque monsters, but still had that cool moving skin similar to the Mimics. You just couldn't see it because they all but blended into the dark backgrounds.
I feel like Ironman 3 doesn't get enough love. It had silly bits, but overall I loved that movie and still do. That scene when he calls the armor to cover Pepper was so good.
One of the greatest shows on UA-cam!
Why ua-cam.com/video/FSSFgWlDbJU/v-deo.html…..
I love when it's a mix of practical and CG. For me it sells it so much more!
And I love being amazed and then learning what I was watching and thought was practical, was actually CG.
I find that when I see things that are pure CG. A lot of the time, it comes off as empty and soulless. Not all the time, just a lot of the time
See, a lot of people I see complaining of like "oh movies today are too reliant on CG" and "CG sucks" and all that, and frankly I think this show makes it pretty clear that CG itself doesn't have to suck and often is more prominent in a shot than CG haters would even realize. I think the complaints people level at CG in general are really faults of lazy, rushed, or underskilled CG work.
This fella is awesome he clearly loves his work and is still learning as well as gets excited by working on certain things you should have him back.
Before the release of Matrix: Resurrections, get John Gaeta on and do a 3-part breakdown of The Matrix trilogy
I second this.
Finally, iron man 3! An underated movie, that definitely deserves more recognition, not only for its fx, but for its story and humor
Agreed. A lot of people don’t like it because Tony was out of the suit so much and Pepper ended up being the one that killed Killian, but I thought it was great. It was the first MCU movie I ever watched as well, so I have the nostalgia factor as well
This guy has so much wisdom and experience. Specially the explanation about IronMan underwater scene.
Wren: "I'm gonna transform into future Sam."
Me: "Wait that's no... WTF, WHY DOES HE LOOK JUST LIKE AN OLDER SAM."
Damn. I need to rewatch the first three pirates of the Caribbean movies again.
I am.
Almost finished with At Worlds End.
So far, So good.
I cannot wait to finish it.
I just finished At Worlds End.
I love it!
About to start On Stranger Tides.
Hopeful for that one.
I just finished On Stranger Tides.
Pretty good.
About to start Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Curious how that will go.
@@SPX157 dead men tell no tales was mediocre. First three are top tier for sure. OST wasn't as bad as people say. My problem is that I just felt so disconnected from everything pirates of the Caribbean.
I just finished Dead Men Tell No Tales.
It wasn’t terrible.
But not amazing as At Worlds End.
The first 3 films are Great.
The 4th & the 5th films aren’t bad but not something to write home about.
Overall, I enjoyed the P.O.T.C. series.
& Thank you Corridor Digital for talking about Pirates of the Caribbean.
If anyone is wondering, Sam is wearing a Hamilton Khaki Field Titanium Far Cry 6 Edition. It's a great step up from the Timex Expedition Field Chronograph he usually wears.
This was really awesome.
When it comes to having blurred out details they are absolutely correct. You need a plethora of details to blur it out. I have found that They don’t necessarily need to be correct details to be good looking blurred out details however. Getting an AI to generate a bunch of random almost right looking things will work just fine. Another thing to consider is that a background isn’t going to be one solid blur. At different points away from the camera it will be blurred out in different ways. Perhaps if you put a paint filter to smudge it out and then blur it out you can get a more natural effect. Of course I watch the show because it helps me with 2-D art which might not always apply to film. Any feedback on this comment would be helpful from people in the know. We all just learning here.
