    Real Steel is so criminally underrated that it genuinely hurts.

      ABSOLUTELY! In part, it was Disney's fault. In my country, the ads were really bad...to the point where I saw the movie and got lost. The ad shows something completely different.

      If there's a movie that makes me shed real tears is reel steel. The entire third act High Jackman's character in slow motion shadow fighting always warms my heart af. This film will always have a special place in my heart.

      What Wren said about the reference is also so true. One of the reasons baby Yoda was so shocking is because they didn't even try to make a fully imagined creature. They just went off of the way the puppet itself moved. So even when it's CG, it moves in this yanky, puppet-like way that truly matches with the prop used for the close up shots, and the combination and consistency just sells that Grogu is there in the scene.
      It's also a reason why Iron Man suit got worse over the years: they started off with this realistic, highly based on an actual prop suit and movie by movie they steered away from it, until in Infinity War and Endgame it became that nano-suit weird thing that had no reference to go off and became impossible to actually sell on scene. VFX artists are amazingly talented these days, and the MCU has top-notch people working in their movies... but they're not magicians, and with the tight schedules that they have and no real reference to go off of, there's no way on Earth for them to actually pull off everything they're asked to do.

      The VFX were great but it really bothered me (to the point where it took me out of the movie) how bad the kid's dialogue was. The entire time I felt like "have the writers ever spoken to a 13 year old kid?"

    • @YouMakeMyMotorRun
      @YouMakeMyMotorRun Рік тому +19

      @@keithws2779 ah... that's true. It's very hard to find a well-written, well-acted kid in cinema. I think nobody actually listens or makes a conscious effort to understand kids, and it just shows in fiction... they're either kid actors trying to fit into an quasi-adult character (see "The Adam Project"), or just written as dumb monkeys (see... I dunno, maybe this movie? Or Jurassic Park?)

      Agreed. How about a three tier challenge? Where one is done Darby style, with the full set and distancing. Another done where it's live actors and FX to either add in or alter footage to give the combined scene. And then a final one where the entire scene is done in FX.
      They could have a side by side by side comparison to show how the same shot three ways looks depending on the technique used.

      yeah old pre CGI visual effects people came up with some of the most insane things to make shots like this work, the part to me that most shows how they did it is when the little clay men are first running around one goes close to the kids feet, but his shadow doesn't appear until it's past what must have been the foreground section of wall with the kids to force the perspective

So I think it's now on my list for this week. Hugh Jackman, Rock 'em, Sock' em Robots, I'm down.

    I worked as an extra on Real Steel for several weeks in four scenes (bull fight, zoo fight, Twin Cities fight, Zeus fight), and Shawn Levi actually explained the whole virtual production process to us. It was fascinating to learn, and even cooler to experience first-hand. They had robot stand-ins on set that could do minimal movements, but otherwise, the full-body ambulatory stuff was all captured through the virtual camera.

The gate was just too smooth, somewhat unsettlingly so because the demons movements looked too real

So the movie begun and the beginning was pretty slow but once we got to the point where his dad became a demon I was horrified. By far one of the best horror movies in my opinion. That, or maybe The Serpent and The Rainbow or American Werewolf in London. It's got to be one of those three

    *Episode idea:*
    "Unrealistic effects that we love"
    Basically just guilty pleasure scenes, but taking the time to explain *why* we like unrealistic or "bad" effects.
    Featuring special effects from "bad" or retro movies, that are still satisfying or fun to watch. Then comparing those scenes to more modern/ recent examples.
    Throughout the episode, inherently highlighting the differences between real physics and movie physics.
    This could be a good way to feature some media that wouldn't normally appear on the channel.
    -but knowing my luck, you've probably already made an episode exactly like this, and I just haven't seen it, haha.

    And for stuntmen react It would be cool to see you react to the duel from "Potop", it's really good sword fight
    The "CHARGE " Blender short would be awesome
    for the VFX series. As well as *Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia!* where you could do a comparison to the "live action" Lion King. Also at the end of second Chronicles of Narnia movie 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.

    The bedroom floor scene from "The Gate" reminded me of those perspective box rooms that they have at science centers and play areas where the room is angled and and you "grow" or "shrink" depending on where you stand. For some reason the room looked slanted like that to me with the corner of the door and wall being the highest corner.

      They covered that in an earlier video. If I recall, they were film in B&W but used color filters over the lens. So if they did her scary makeup in red, but blocked the red light, you couldn't see it until they removed the filter. Since it was B&W you don't see a color shift, you just see the blotches appear. Now, I surely have that kinda wrong, but it's the right idea.

      There's also the fact that if you watch it frame by frame you can see the lack of details that give away the assets being photo scans.
      A good indicator is the container he walks around. You can clearly see the texture is laid onto a rectangular object as the 3d model doesn't match the texture.
      Also the perpetrators animation. They lack the gravity in their movement which clearly shows they are an NPC and not real people.
