Enjoy! #20yearsofDNEG, #Breakdown, #VFX, #CGI, #Reels, #showreel, #BladeRunner2049
6:59 this is my favorite transition of all time, when I saw this in the theater my jaw was on the floor.
still the best transition ever, unless were talking breaking bad
I committed treason by watching this movie on my phone
Best scifi movie of the past few years. I had goose bumps watching these breathtaking scenes while hearing hans zimmer magic.
Hamid VFX and this was a flop
@@debasishsoren5347 And who cares?
Absolute goosebumps indeed
@@ashwin4224 Yeah .
@@debasishsoren5347 the story of this series was really not for normies who are in to stereo type love stories, so it's for people who are really into cyberpunk.
Some of the best visual effects I've ever seen, period. They'd still be next-level if this film came out in 2024, nevermind that this is now around 7 years old. Absolutely unreal.
Surely, this movie has sound, cinematography, and vfx oscars in the bag...
I hate hate hate going to the cinema, but I saw this film twice because it just has to be seen on a large scale, it's a masterpiece!
just curious, why do you intensely hate going to the cinema?
@@shaheenyes Many reasons, but mainly people have no manners, they arrive late, check their phones, talk, laugh at inappropriate moments, make constant noise with their food, etc etc. Infact every time I watch this film, there is one scene that reminds me of a dumbfuck who would talk to himself at crucial moments. I would prefer not to have those memories when watching films.
Crazy how much work is hidden behind fog and darkness.
😂😂
This movie looked absolutely astounding... Hats off
Incredible film. Wish I could watch it again in theatres
my head hurt at the double-body scene. Great work!
Really impressive work. The body morphing is incredible, plus everything else. It must be tough when the lights go out.
my favorite movie to say the least. it has held up so well after watching it so many times, hell, even better in many cases of rewatching
I'm amazed how relatively low-poly all the background buildings are. Textures really are everything.
the sound rumbles through your guts, love it!
My friends working in senior VFX artist department in dneg and worked on blade runner 2049 itself 😀❤️
DNEG. This is why we love movies.
DNEG is the same VFX house who did Black Panther's atrocious VFX. Remember most of the time its the studios' fault giving these artists not enough time.
Did you mean the final fight? That was Method Studios tho.
@@mylopintorizvi4642 exacly like several ppl think that all studios did the Thanos cgi but that was only digital domain who created Thanos
@@adrianstjarnfaldt395 Digital Domain and Weta Digital.
@@qnebra mainly weta digital tracking suit and custom tracking software
@@joysonbaretto3690 Both Weta and DD did scenes with Thanos.
*Masterpiece.*
I'm obsessed with this creation of film
4:56 were those parts really animations !! ? how realistic it can be, mind-blowing
I love every second of this movie
This movie will never die
Well done guys ! Massive respect on the CG humans.
So was the CG Joi just used in the transition scenes, or was that actually a model of her used through the entire scene ( at 2:10 , is that a model ? If so, you absolutely fooled me . )
Also, as others have wondered as well, why not just lower the opacity and blend the two actors together, rather than use CG ?
Massive respect !
Found the answer to that last question ! :www.fxguide.com/featured/the-techniques-used-in-the-blade-runner-2049-hologram-sex-scene/
Thanks. The main reason is to have volume. So every shot was actually filmed for real, but it also had to be animated to match the actress to generate the back of her and give the sense of volume. It is subtle in most shots but it was a lot of work and also tricky to get right. It was a team effort from multiple departments too. Glad you liked it :)
DNEG did VFX work in BRAHMASTRA.... OSCAR WORTHY 🙌
Really ?
It looks like soap opera graphics
@@solok4150 oh really?. did you see the real jets flying so closely?
Whoa, the way you did the scene in the appartment !! :O
great video. spectacular work of art this film. one of my favorites. cheers.
I should have watched this in theater 🎥.
where Ana de Armas ever on set, so many scenes are cgi based? :D Definitely a well-deserved Oscar for vfx
The unsung heroes... respect 👍🏼😊
Incredible work.

Unveiling the visual marvels behind Blade Runner 2049! 🌟🎥
Phenomenal played loud... oh my.
Best VFX clip we will ever see on a Movie
The work of nuke damn
SPOT ON WHAT I NEED TO LEARN .......THANK YOU
Amazing VFX Double Negative again, but I have a question, did you work the VFX at the Arri camera 4:3 aspect ratio or The Imax 1.90:1 aspect ratio? I need to know if there is an Open mate version at ~4:3 Even taller than 1.90:1?.
This films was everything I wanted and then some.
Blade runner 2049 community ❤
hanz zimmer was like movie score? i got you fam. records a bike revving its engine, adds some juicy FX. boom
How could I remake the scene at the bridge with the hologram?
Great. 👏
I am Sooo glad they chose Ana de Armas and not an A.I ❤
I would absolutely watch this movie without any dialogue at all
Denis has a seperate perspective of showing vfx in a big scale
1:39 i want to know what type of animation name is that in sony yei please tell me 🙏🙏
I loved this scene.
Excellent.
this video's opening shot of an overcast 2049 LA is just breathtaking when you look closely.. the wallace towers dominate the massive skyline. didn't notice that on my first 5 viewings of the film
B F yeah they seem very small in that shot so I have doubts if it is the HQ shown in the movie.
Hurry Calls i think it is. That shot is the entire skyline from a long distance and from quite high up it seems. So the buildings seem miniature
B F it seems way too small considering it was so large it went into the clouds.
Hurry Calls you can even see the Tyrell buildings right beside it if you look closely. Just different cloud conditions in both scenes
B F huh, fair enough.
2:07 I don't understand what is the FX here, this breakdown edit is quite strange IMHO. Awesome work on the movie
I guess is the light passing through her, they filmed it empty and then simulated it in the 3d model, then composite it above the footage with her.
1:15 those cities at the back...did that really have to be there hahaha
Just amazing!
may be one of the first film with hyperrealistic meta humans, but i m not sure metahumans were from mpc or dneg was from
Awesome!!
that was fake fog, i see you, depth pass eh. HUGE respects to the all the crew. wish i could see it in theateres
Yup i am a fresher VFX artist 🗿
when will you see more vfx breakdowns videos of your old films? i really want to see your work!
I still don’t get how they made the joi scenes
British vfx as its finest
Better than the movie itself. Keep posting!
😍
what?? the chick is cgi!?
Is this company making vfx for indian movie robot 2.o
Prashant Kumar yes
5:13
Holy fuck.
Anyone know what the church-like building in the background at @5:34 is?
Collab bro ?
Wait a minute, what the fuck? Joi is CG?
No, actress is real (Ana de Armas), the CGI composition is to mix the two bodies and faces, Joi's and the blonde girl.
I liked the film, but it wasnt as good as the original imo. It was its own film, and very different form the original, granted its not the same period in time. it got a ton of acclaim for its visuals but even their i think it could've been far better. I know CGI can be great, but here they lost alot of what made the original spark. Tonally this also didnt feel nor look like LA. it looked like Canada. Dennis homeland. it looked European. even much of the extra actors looked European. what happened to the Asian influence of the original? the greatest achievement in this was cg Rachel. she was bang on, though i also thing the body double cast could've been better. the actress was no where near as petit and slender as Sean Young in her 20's. still it was an amazing achievement. again l liked the film, but it was its own thing, not the truest blade runner sequel i wouldve longed for.
This is cgi done right
La verdad que no me gusta mucho la pena de muerte
This music is just terrible compared to the subtle synths of the master that is Vangelis. Why didn't they just go to Vangelis for the score?!?
Nah
He's dead.
Just like the movie, this ran too long.
Hi, chek out our brazilian cyberpunk film called "Gambiarra: o HD de Espadas/Gambiarra: The Hard Drive of Spades". Full movie with subtitles on our channel.
Hardly a 'breakdown', just a few with some detail and the rest are finished products. Not worth watching
Really
Yea my PlayStation 5 can run those graphics
Haha.
