@@roycalderon7633 that kind of street accessibility like wheelchair ramps from road to sidewalks didn’t exist during the 1970’s, so for extra authenticity Fincher went out of his way to make the look and feel of the show feel era appropriate by cgi’ing them out.
@@22carmoon i think its quite funny they didnt exist since people have always been using wheelchairs, strollers, etc. crazy that its a somewhat recent invention
This is my favorite kind of visual effects: They're not the focus, and we may not even realize how much they're contributing in the moment, but without them, we'd subconsciously know something about the world-building wasn't right.
Just goes to show how people only hate VFX when they’re aware of its presence and how good it can be when the vfx artists are not rushed and follow a singular vision of a competent director unlike committee based decision making of Marvel/Disney movies/tv shows.
When your audience is thinking, "That's great CGI," you've failed as a digital effects artist. You've succeeded when it appears you've done nothing. Recognition of your work is the envy of your peers, but oblivious and thankless of your audience.
The Motel sign montage starting at 2:49 was great. Some of those signs no longer exist or have elements that are now gone. The Oasis Motel in Tulsa has been missing the lights on top for a few decades.
To anyone who loved this show, please watch Mastermind on Hulu, which is a documentary series about the real woman who inspired Anna Torv’s character, Dr. Wendy Carr. In the show, Dr. Carr is a lesbian, a change that I assume Netflix forced on the show in the name of “representation.” The real person was a married, straight mother who had to juggle two very different careers - a “light” one (nursing professor and eventually the dean of a nursing school) and a “dark” one (developing the protocols used by the FBI to interview and profile serial killers). That balancing act, along with the need to balance her home life and to tolerate the rampant sexism that existed in her field, is a story far more fascinating than the one the showrunners invented for Dr. Wendy Carr.
I'd like to see that show. However in the Netflix series it's not just Dr. Carr - Holden Ford and Bill Tench are portrayed with fictional lives as well. John Douglas' book Mindhunter gives his real background. The criminals they interview are much more true to life.
They did a good job digitally altering the sidewalks before the Americans with Disabilities Act. Another big change since then are all the vinyl gutters and windows seen today. Most of the old homes still had wood and metal in the 70s.
Now I know why it was canceled…all that VFX must have ate a decent part of the budget and really, seeing the before and after slides here, I couldn’t say they were essential.
I have to say, the use of green screens in a lot of shows has completely taken me out of the experience mid season sometimes. It's too obviousa and once I watch an older film say The French Connection, you are a lot more immersed. It's a shame production companies are cheap and won't put the extra effort into shooting on location; despite how cumbersome it might be.
It looks terrible. The only reason why this insanity exists is no competence. Use real locations. Use real film with the correct colors. The color grading is just stupid and makes everything look unreal. (or do people born after 1995 really think that the world looks like this?). The video is great and the commentary is great. It is not a complaint against this channel or its author.
Most of the locations are real and they are modifying to make it more accurate and would not possible without CGI. Film camera are more expensive then digital cameras.
This is a brilliant use of VFX. They enhanced the scenes, not dominated them. perfect
Definitely showing off the attention to detail on the sidewalk. Very nice stuff, shame there was never a Season 3. Best thing on Netflix.
What's the Story reasoning on the sidewalk ramps? Im very interested in this. Any thoughts?

Great show, shamed was canceled
It was not cancelled. It just was not completed. I think Netflix and Fincher lost interest.
@@Art-is-craft Right. It was more Fincher than Netflix. He wanted to do movies also. He was the director and showrunner of all episodes.
It became about lesbianism not catching murderers by the end so good riddens.

So funny how much of this is "I feel like there used to be more trees than there is now"
We are talking about David Fincher, that with Zemeckis and Cameron he's a genius in the usage of VFX

i need a new season of Mindhunta
In the first clip, when the music kicked in I was expecting the reveal to be mr green holding the guys moustache on his face.
Such a good show. Wish there was more of it.
Bring it back!!!!!!!!!!
One. Of. The. Best. Shows.
When people say CGI looks bad that's because they only notice bad CGI. This kind of stuff is not unusual.
It’s important to blend VFX with actual props and locations “in camera”. Chris Nolan and Fincher are very good at this.
That's sure added something in the serie. A great one too bad they will be no season 3 all these great work deserved it
Such a waste it got canceled, then they gave us more unwatchables
They did all this work only to cancel it? Damn!
Big fan brother
Now I know why it was canceled…all that VFX must have ate a decent part of the budget and really, seeing the before and after slides here, I couldn’t say they were essential.
Superb. Thanks for keeping the breakdowns at a pace where we can appreciate the vfx work.
They fooled us by setting up a season 3 and then never delivering.
FOOLED
Make tench the main character and you have a show. Holt mccallany is the best part of it by far.
New SEASON Please‼️
Putting light in some of those buildings was a bit much, I would have saved on the budget and gone without those.
Great video thanks for sharing
What's the Story reasoning on the VFX sidewalk removal ramps? Im very interested in this. Any thoughts?
It occurred before the Americans with Disabilities Act
Guys you can do it with any video? or you're using fragments of unedited video and stitch video

Should have had another season
Vfx is also way it got cancelled

I totally agree. Would’ve been way better if they’d just shot it in the 70s and 80s. That’s when it’s set anyway 🤷🏼♂️
I need your help please 🙏 your help will change my life please 🙏 🙏
