Filmmakers -- Feel free to download this video and try editing the transition points for yourselves with the raw footage. It might be good practice. All it takes is a bit of reframing and a good cutting point. You might even find better points than me 👀
Thank you so much! I'm learning to edit on Premiere Pro, and applied to UCLA's TFT out of the hope to work with talented people like you and this stunt crew! 🤩
I won't lie, half the reason I rushed to see Shang-Chi was the fact that you were involved. Your quality is always top notch and I genuinely can't wait to see whats coming next, whether it be more youtube or big screen work. :D
I still remember the first time I saw UA:LA and was amazed at how absolutely pristine these transitions were. No fan flare or masking, just real a mastery of the craft. Thanks for showing us how it was all done! Big shout out to the actors too, it was a joy to watch
The process seems awesome to make this a reality; forethought in the story for how some powers might be displayed on-screen (or a fun on-screen idea that turned out to be useful to plug into the story), and then creating choreography and studying martial movements to plan ahead for transition points. Not to mention the camera on top that blends it all together consistently. Really awesome, fight choreographers, stunt people, camera techs, everyone's got my deepest respect :)
Everything about this short is so amazing. Not only do you capture the spirit and style of MHA perfectly, all the actors do so well to develop their characters with what little time they have. Seriously good shit.
Even after the showcase behind the scenes, I'm still blown away how I'm still having a hard time trying to connect the transitions. Masterful work! Can't wait for that juicy episode 1 drop!!
@@bobthebuilder8110 Indeed. If money is a concern they could always start a GoFundMe or something of some sort. People will be happy to chip in. They even managed to do the Pilot without any expensive costs (other than equipment and talented people). Normally there'd have to sets and CGI and whatnot, but this looked pristine and well-crafted without much being spent. I bet fans would even be happy with minimalist sets if this quality continues (although creative-block and burnout could be issues, so I understand if that is an issue).
BRO real talk years ago when I found Dead Fantasy Series (RIP MONTY BTW) I found your channel unmatched choreography for YEARS glad to see you guys popping up on my notifcations again.
I still can't get over how fluid these edits actually are. Using someone's arm as a wipe cut inside frame makes it look so natural it's unreal. I may have to have a go at this kind of edit myself and try and tie it into the project I'm shooting next year. Can't wait to see what you come out with next! Your signature style is such a huge inspiration for me.
This… is… INSANE!!! Mad props to both your camera work and the actors who were able to do the same moves multiple times perfectly! The actor playing Heiki made it look so easy, yet if someone like me were to try to do that, there would be a blooper compilation that would be as long as the film itself! Keep up the amazing work!
When I first saw this pilot episode it touched me and actually pushed me to never give up in life and start working out to better myself, thank you guys for all this hard work bc it definitely payed off by touching the world like never before 🙏
Yes! Thank you! This is amazing. Virtually every interest or hobby I've ever had has been driving by an insatiable desire to know "how it's done" or "how it works" so I absolutely love this kind of behind the scenes look into film making magic. Fantastic!
This is the best original live action ever created from anime for now and for a very long time, in terms of story, and visual effects. In just 15 minutes or so, it totally feels like a cinematic movie. To me, nothing will beat this any time soon.
FINALLY!!! He's showing us his secrets!!! I think you are one of the most talented stunt coordinators and camera visuals out there and have always hoped you would do some tutorials
Even watching in a frame by frame mode on 0.25 speed, I still can hardly notice the transition points! The camera and actor movements are FLAWLESS! It's incredible!
This was so interesting to watch!!!!! I loved watching the final result but seeing how it's done before just shows how much dedication and finesse goes into this. Like the cuts are so quick that they look so seemless. Seeing you talk about it on the Corridor Crew channel has been eye opening. Like doing the same actions with the different weapons is so smart and sick
Oh man what an awesome breakdown on how you accomplished the effect! Every bit of it was so smooth, I found myself going frame by frame on your original trying to deconstruct how you were doing things... Including the teleporting and the super speed. Still my favorite fight sequence from all media ever. I must have watched it over 50 times now....🔥
thank you for resources like this man you're a huge inspiration to me, you should be in charge of these studios with millions of dollars at your disposal to achieve your vision and adapt the IPs you are passionate about, you produce better content than 90% of mainstream Hollywood
Bro you are a master . This is some of the coldest shit ive ever seen from an independent filmaker and the techniques behind em are so simple but take alot of precision and knowledge of the craft to execute it as clean as you did. This is inspiring thank you
Riven, in all seriousness, you are by far one of the best action fight scene directors I’ve ever watched. I’m by no means a film or choreography expert, just a fan. I think I speak for all when I say, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make more episodes. I can’t stress enough how truly remarkable you are to the anime live action genre. There have been so many BAD attempts that you are needed to pave the way for the future! All companies that wish to pursue live action anime NEED to contact you and have you direct the fight scenes at the VERY least.
AMAZING stuff🔥 Time to rewatch Episode 0 for the 100th time haha The BTS stuff is so interesting to watch, thank you for sharing! Shang Chi was hella dope and hope only the best for you in the future!
Thank you so much for this breakdown. This was one of coolest things I've seen on the internet. Truly inspirational and helpful, especially for me just starting to do my own shooting.
I just watched your sit down react with the corridor crew breaking parts of this down a few days ago, been binging all their various breakdowns recently. This insight into the weapon transitions could not have come at a better time
I don't see to many people asking questions, but I'm so interested in how you got consistent movement, because when I played with the footage it really cut together much easier than I thought it would. Before I saw this I really thought you needed motion control bots to get this to work the way it does! Great job!
AMAZING! Man I'm still waiting for Paramount to let you guys film the entire season, because UA:LA is the ONLY Live action Anime I want to see, and you guys nail it perfectly!
Hell yeah! The transitions are genius! Watching the episode I never would have guessed that there was overlapping choreography and overlapping kamera-movement (in that case also choreographed) involved. No wonder the transitions look so fluent in the final result. I still hope that you get the chance to actually create an official life-action spin-off. Also Jay with Nun-Chakus is my favorite. He looks like he's about to bitchslap Nathan xD

Da real mvp teaching ppl and giving tools to do so
Amazing mate it’s a real masterclass, thanks for sharing those tips !
Thank you so much! I'm learning to edit on Premiere Pro, and applied to UCLA's TFT out of the hope to work with talented people like you and this stunt crew! 🤩
Thank you man, I was wondering that the rushes looked like for this for agess
Man oh man! You are such a blessing, thank you sooo much! (Someone who looks up to you)
I won't lie, half the reason I rushed to see Shang-Chi was the fact that you were involved. Your quality is always top notch and I genuinely can't wait to see whats coming next, whether it be more youtube or big screen work. :D
Wait what???
Jup.
Watch the corridor crew react for more insight.
Hold the fuckin phone, WHAT?! Am I about to go watch Shang-Chi?
Bout to go watch Shang-Chi I was uninterested till now
@@prototypedc you will not be disappointed
I still remember the first time I saw UA:LA and was amazed at how absolutely pristine these transitions were. No fan flare or masking, just real a mastery of the craft. Thanks for showing us how it was all done! Big shout out to the actors too, it was a joy to watch
Man these are so fucking cool. Gonna have to rewatch UA:LA now lol
Same thought man. I was really hoping for more episodes but I get how busy he is
This is brilliant! I watched this several times and I’m still amazed how you pull this off. Thanks for the breakdown
No cap. He legit cloned his camera movements! 😩😩😩😩
If this crew gets involved in an official anime live action. I wouldnt complain at all. Pure talent.

Those transitions are the definition of CLEAN
Everything about this short is so amazing. Not only do you capture the spirit and style of MHA perfectly, all the actors do so well to develop their characters with what little time they have.
Seriously good shit.
That you guys were able to recreate the same camera passes multiple times and match it with the actor's movements each time is mindblowing.
Chris: I'ma reveal the trick.
Also Chris: The trick is that we're all _that_ good.
When it comes to those transitions, I will always get hyped!!! Those transitions are so sick! Keep up the good work!
BROOO your transitions were clean AF!!!! keep going my guy
Cache was easily the best quirk in the short film. The transitions with each weapon was awesome. Anyone know what the song playing is called?
I think it's from one of the Mha movies, but I'm no good with names and titles.
Even after the showcase behind the scenes, I'm still blown away how I'm still having a hard time trying to connect the transitions. Masterful work! Can't wait for that juicy episode 1 drop!!
Is it official!???😱
@@NILO_GIJS I hope so! UA:LA Episode 1 will be legendary!!!

Monty was the GOAT. I really wanted to work with him back in the day. I'd love to do justice to a live action RWBY in the future.
Honestly, the synergy of seamless transitions coupled with the dynamic camera movements were probably my favourite parts of the whole UA short.
Gah dayum so clean. Camera movements are so consistent, it's crazy

Keep up the amazing work!
Is it a dead dream to still hope to see this become a full series? The writing, acting, and choreography were all so good!
When I first saw this pilot episode it touched me and actually pushed me to never give up in life and start working out to better myself, thank you guys for all this hard work bc it definitely payed off by touching the world like never before 🙏
I'm still hoping one day this film comes back cause everything about it was something, from the choreography, story, characters, and cinematography.
Yes! Thank you! This is amazing. Virtually every interest or hobby I've ever had has been driving by an insatiable desire to know "how it's done" or "how it works" so I absolutely love this kind of behind the scenes look into film making magic. Fantastic!
Those transitions are smooth muah
Amazing work. Huge fan.
Still have notifications on for this channel and have no regrets

It is JUST. SO. CLEAN.
Honestly all of the choreography in UA:LA is phenomenal and what you did with this guy's scenes just makes it that much better
The editing was amazing but the actors also did a good job!!!! They make it so real!
Waiting for a new ep, but I appreciate how much work that went into this
Honestly, id love to see more U.A L.A episodes. It's the best thing I've seen in a long time, and you should be proud of it
The camera work is what im impressed with more, zipping back and forth like that repeatedly in the same manner is amazing
He was easily the coolest character in this short. Loved the transition work.
So freaking cool, thanks for sharing the bts!
I still amazed by the transition. The editing make it flawless.
FINALLY!!! He's showing us his secrets!!! I think you are one of the most talented stunt coordinators and camera visuals out there and have always hoped you would do some tutorials

So well done... it's amazing what's possible if you have good actors, cameraguy, director, scriptor and cutter. All of you guys are awesome!
This is some great bts, very helpful!! This short in my opinions is one of the best anime live action renditions. Thanks for sharing!
That transition from Katana to Bo was so filthy smooth bro definitely had to rewind like 10 times
This video does not get old. Amazing through and through.
It’s been two years please make a part 2 for the pilot. Awesome camera work and editing btw

LITERALLY the other day I rewatched UA LA and I ALWAYS wondered how you did those transitions! Thank you for this video!
The edits are so smooth! It's what really brought this to a new level. Not just for Heiki, but all the edits!
thank you for resources like this man you're a huge inspiration to me, you should be in charge of these studios with millions of dollars at your disposal to achieve your vision and adapt the IPs you are passionate about, you produce better content than 90% of mainstream Hollywood
Thanks for this insight! It makes those sequences even more outstanding to watch!!
This is a prime example of why I love editing.
Bro you are a master . This is some of the coldest shit ive ever seen from an independent filmaker and the techniques behind em are so simple but take alot of precision and knowledge of the craft to execute it as clean as you did. This is inspiring thank you
Those transitions are so clean!! And Jay does so good keep the motion just the same each take!
What a skillful man and a skillful producer. Love the work. Its so good.
The end result still blows me away, great effect and such a cool power, great work by the film maker and actors/stuntment
MAN! This is definetly the best fam made I've ever watched!!!!!!!!! Its just awesome!!! Hope to see more. Thanks for the break down!
I really loved the quirk of the guy with sunglasses
it was pretty creative ngl
Yes, those are unforgettable!

Every time I catch a bit of your work, it leaves me wanting MORE!
Please make another one of these or pitch a series. I loved this.

Guys your really awasome!! . I hope to continue seeing more of this series
Anime to live action has always been underwhelming in my experience. But this?.. *chef's kiss
Okay so ngl, I didn't appreciate this as much when I watched the original video BECAUSE IT ALREADY LOOKED SO GOOD AND SO FLAWLESS! This is awesome!
Amazing what simple but well thought out choreography can do to sell the illusion!
the transition looks smooth because the actor is precise in his movement
I can't wait to see what your future projects are. You are a talent to watch.
WHY IS THIS SO CLEAN!!!! Dude you’re stuff is on another level
Why don't they make films with such a production?
This is awesome, guys! MORE!
Heiki's FF7 Sephiroth's Masamune still is the coolest weapon transition. Still amazed everytime i rewatch the video.
such a master at your craft, you make some of the most entertaining action being released these days
Those were my favorite part of that video. Actually gave me an idea for an OC's quirk. Love that kind of tricky transitions
i've never seen something so oddly satisfying in a while
The smooth camera work made me think this was a more complicated fx then it was. Heiki's quirk is the coolest 🙌
Smoothest transitions in action, hands down
I don't see to many people asking questions, but I'm so interested in how you got consistent movement, because when I played with the footage it really cut together much easier than I thought it would. Before I saw this I really thought you needed motion control bots to get this to work the way it does! Great job!
Mind = BLOWN. Brilliant camera work and flow. Gonna need to borrow inspiration form this for my next movie trailer chris!
Finally!!
This is truly beautiful!
I love Heiki's quirk in this video and always love to see it changing time by time!
Cant wait for you to teach us behind the scene of the teleportion! Thank you for this video too!!!😆
you are so talented i hope hollywood makes these kinds of masterpieces
This is amazing, thank you so much for these BTS videos it helps so much to see how you make these fights!
Crazily enough, I just watched UA:LA with my daughter two days ago. I'm so happy to see this. You're so inspiring!
I love the transitions.
After watching the videos I just watched them again to look at those.
Really an incredible job.
AMAZING! Man I'm still waiting for Paramount to let you guys film the entire season, because UA:LA is the ONLY Live action Anime I want to see, and you guys nail it perfectly!
it's so nice and smooth. Really high quality stuff! Love it!
Uuuuuugh. I need more of this. This project is amazing and it's fantastic to see a live adaptation that's worth being excited about.
the camera work and editing on this is so good! those transitions are fucking flawless man this shit genuinely amazes me so much
Dam never knew how much shooting the same angle with different adjustment could make such a difference
After all this time the behind the scenes! So awesome!
YOUR WORK INSPIRES ME MAN!
The passion is palpable.
I was wanting to ask about this on set recently! Thanks for making this video! 🙌🏾🙏🏾
excellent work, thank you very much for showing how this production was made.
Hell yeah! The transitions are genius! Watching the episode I never would have guessed that there was overlapping choreography and overlapping kamera-movement (in that case also choreographed) involved. No wonder the transitions look so fluent in the final result.

man this was so well done from top to bottom that I wish some of these characters made cameos in the anime
I remember saying something to the fact that this should get picked up by a good network your channel has grown since then keep up the good work.
Yo thank you for this! You are the best of the best!
