Not going to lie I barely paid any attention to the ad and that’s something I wouldn’t have done if Jordan was doing the ad. Not only is she better on the eye but she brings a bit of energy to her sponsored ads that even if you aren’t interested in the product you are still engaged.
TV Series Fringe you guys should do a reaction to shots in Fringe like the pilot episode with the translucent man and the episode with the bank robbers who walk through solid matter
It's been so cool seeing them get more and more heavyweights on the couch to react. It still blows my mind I've been watching this series for so many years and it just gets better.
They don't research anymore when they don't have an expert tho. They kinda just throw the same random guesses at the wall. Kinda leads to 3 men glazing or making fun of a random movie as opposed to adding insight like how they would have done the shit themselves.
The bit with the weird-scale plane was fantastic. "I can't shoot this, this is absurd, what the f*** is wrong with you?" "Just look through the camera. Look through the camera." "...why does that look alright?"
Eyes and the brain do funny things... like watching all this BTS, and they showed the scene again, and my brain went.... "Ooooh... I see the scale now..."
The simple explanation is that the engine cowls and propellers were scaled down correctly and in the right place, it just looks terrible if you can depth percieve (ie: usng both eyes) rather than single perspective from a camera. The same things happens with an "Ames room", the height/distance distortion is not convincing with both eyes, because you can easily perceive what is really going on, but works with a single point view using a camera.
@@dj1NM3 That is the full explanation. The simple explanation is, "Look at it thru the camera." The point was that that particular miniture was only ment to be shot from "inside" the cockpit behind Leo. Any other angle is like those 2D images that look 3D when viewed from exactly the correct angle but otherwise the effect is ruined..
I got the impression that he wasn't entirely pleased with it from when it was made, but there wasn't enough time/money/computer power to get the shot to look the way he wanted.
Series idea: Camera men react! Give some love to the guys doing the camera work and most probably get some cool stories and inside info on the camera shots!
"What can go wrong here is that I've never thought of it before so therefore it can't work" I think that is the realest statement that has ever been said on this channel.
maaan, bringing Jon Favreau would be the Jackie Chan level of guest, and bringing the guy that MADE the technique used in Avatar was also absurdly cool
@@kennybosefuslol are you kidding me? That guy made Iron Man 1 and 2 as well as Lion King (Bad reception but AMAZING vfx), The Mandalorian, Orville and other high class vfx heavy shows. There is so much knowledge that this guy has, plus he can explain well. Why don't you like him/why do you think he would be a garbage guest? This seems illogical. (Greetings to my fellow trekkies lol)
@@kennybosefus wth hahahahahahaha I think you are at the wrong comment section, why would the guy who made marvel universe be a thing, the guy who also made one of the best star wars content out there, why would he be a bad guest?
@@derAtze Triggered you people with five words. I do not like the guy. You are giving him credit for the work of THOUSANDS of people. You are insulting every artist, musician, writer, and actor that has worked on the projects he is associated with. So I'll reiterate... No thanks.
So you're looking for aviation miniature scenes? I give you Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. There is a shot of Sulu flying a UH-1 series "Huey" helicopter across San Francisco Bay, but the studio could not get the proper permits to fly an actual helicopter. So what they did was fly a model Huey in such a way that it appeared to be several hundred feet off the ground, as well as several hundred feet away. BONUS: Check the insert shot of Sulu flipping random switches. The wiper starts moving, and at the bottom of the frame, you can see the finger of a member of the film crew manually moving the wiper! By the way, a similar technique was used in the opening sequence of The Towering Inferno (1974), albeit with a mix of real and miniature footage, as well as an attempted rooftop rescue scene.
4:00 "I can do it in unreal now" because of COURSE he's kept up on the latest technology his entire life. Why wouldn't he be able to? IDK why this never occurred to me before.
The tech that they made Lion King and Jungle Book remakes were the catalyst for building the fabled Volume LED Stage... Which was powered by Unreal 4 and used on Mandalorian by... Favreau. In short. He didn't keep up with the tech... He pushed it to get to where it is. :P Though virtual cameras to previs cgi characters was experimented with much earlier with by Peter Jackson for the Cave Troll sequence in Lord of the Rings. And using giant screens to light sets and talent and give final backgrounds can be seen earlier as well in Tom Cruise's Oblivion. Even returning to Cameron, he famously used hand held cameras and cranes on rear screen shots in ways I haven't seen since or before until the Volume.
@@jmalmsten the volume was derived from Lucas Arts. Lucas built a small one for Phantom Menace as a test idea but shelved it. When Favreau visited for his CLone Wars voice role not only did he revive the dark saber but saw the test rig in a back garage and immediately realized its potential.
It's great to see because there are so many people that refuse to keep up with the times. They do the "back in MY day we did it THIS way and that's how I'm gonna do it!". And that's not always a bad idea (new isn't always better) but just refusing to keep up with tech at all is a crazy thing to do
I know the movie itself gets a lot of flak, but Pearl Harbor (2001), for all its problems, has some of the best CGI aerial combat I've ever seen. Realistic? Maybe not. But hella fun to watch.
He's so exactly right. The happy little accidents that happen when you're live operating a camera simply can't be reproduced with planning. The scene always gifts you with a surprise but you have to go find it.
Obligatory talking about the seaplane escape scene from The Phantom, 1996. There's some great moments with it and I think the effects, trickery holds up to this day. There's a few moments I think I see cuts, when they transition to from different shots, different effects. Would love to see you guys react to it.
It's people like this that I love. A baby boomer, but never let changing technology affect his love of film making, and it seems to only have made it stronger. He never saw digital as a bad thing. Instead of retiring because technology "surpassed" him, no, he uses it as the tool it should be, and invents all these cool hybrid digital/OG filming methods. Bravo. This is a perfect lesson on embracing change no matter what generation you are.
Idea for a future VFX react: Please react to The Adventures of Prince Achmed from 1926. If you want some mind-blowing old but gold visuals, that's your film. Albeit I don't know if it would fall more under VFX Artists or Animators react.
Oh! This is part 2 from last month! I had to go look at the vid from last month to confirm you're wearing the same clothes. :) Anyhoo, I goddamn LOVE Robert Legato's work. No wonder he has a pile of dem statues. So many good stories and insights that I hope he agrees to come back. Great job, guys.
I found Robert Legato’s perspective of having started in photography & producing before engaging in practical and then VFX fascinating. Listening to him share his wholistic understanding and breadth of experience with visual storytelling was a true treat. I like how he didn’t seem too precious with anything, his work was to serve the story. Thank you guys for bringing so many amazing guests on to draw back the curtain on filmmaking. 📽️❤
@3:48 I recently watched the 1960s movie Catch-22, and it had World War II bombers flying in formation really close to camera. They were smoky and looked stinky, might have been war salvage. That movie starred Alan Arkin when he’s really young, good watch for more than just the cool aviation.
Alright, I've got timestamps for Die Hard 2. 1:18:15 for the janky vfx airplane ejection, and 1:50:10 for the start of the airplane explosion. There is a good fight scene leading up to the airplane explosion starting at 1:46:52. Hope this helps. Been on a Die Hard kick recently, and you showed the scene from 3 Body Problem that I (and probably a lot of other people) pitched. Love you guys! Thank you.
Speaking of aviation, have y'all reviewed The Rocketeer? It was the first live action superhero film to truly be executed exactly as seen in the comics it was based on as opposed to Tim Burton's live action depiction of Batman in his own stylized version.
One of my favorite surprises watching one of Favreau's movies was Cowboys & Aliens on bluray with the commentary track. He was just so soft-spoken and genuine about working with everyone. He knew everyone's name and gave so much credit and enjoyed making the movie that I appreciated the movie more.
Talking about The Aviator saying "we didn't have a lot of money" and "we had a small budget" meanwhile the film has a budget of over 100+ million is wild
I love the people you have on because they are all so insanely modist because they are all behind the camera and just love the work they do. They never come on the show with something to sell they come because they love the art
You guys have got to do a review of Rhaenyra getting off of her dragon in House of the Dragon S2E1, I literally had to pause the episode and rewind because the CGI was so goofy for such a major budget production!!
i was watching it at 2x speed and it definitely looked unnatural. it looked a little better at normal speed - but still not very convincing. nonetheless, i don't think it's because of bad technique or low skill but just not enough time / too much workload
Yay Rob! I love this guy! All the react videos with these old school guys talking about their “war” stories are the best! The amount of knowledge, experience and insight they bring is so incredibly valuable that I kinda feel guilty 😅. I feel like I should be paying to hear them speak! THANK YOU SO MUCH CORRIDORCREW!
w00t w00t. As amazing and beautiful looking as the “live action” Disney movies are (and I’m always down for a Chris Walken show tune), I’d be more than happy if they just left all that behind and went back to more stylized films.
I watched that close to when it came out, it was long ago enough that I don't remember the details other than being completely sucked into the moment during that sequence, it still sticks with me
I just watched Contact (1997) and now I wanna see you guys bring up the mirror shot. It's an amazing perspective-altering shot but fairly simple to pull off.
In my experience camera department personnel are very grounded. They like capturing everything real and in camera. Talking to them about VFX is often a challenging endeavor. But it's good when you find someone who is willing to adjust their view when presented with some reassurance. Loved hearing that story about the Cinematographer and the propellers.
Rob is one of my favorite guests on the whole of this show. I love how casually he's always just like "yeah i invented something that would change VFX forever cuz I was bored"
As someone who identifies as someone who has read this comment and also seen VFX in movies I can also say this comment is great and this video is great.
For plane sequences, check out the 1960s Battle of Britain movie. Lots of miniatures and practical aircraft. One scene in particular you see the wire antenna for the radio controlled German bomber as it crashes, so they went back and filmed the control cables inside the plane being cut by bullets to "explain" the error in filming.
This was one of my favourites so far! I love the technical stuff behind those movies and it was very impressive to see, what he achieved! Must be really cool to work in virtual environments like you do in real life, would love to do that :D
"What can go wrong here is that I've never thought of it before so therefore it can't work" That's Wren for you. The starry-eyed kid watching in wonder and suddenly he drops a line so heavy it generates gravity. Well, I mean, gravity that you can measure and sense. Like, really heavy stuff? I dunno. GRAVITY!
Would love to see you guys talk about Furiosa. Maybe even comparing it to Fury Road, as both used heavy CGI, but Fury Road made it look a bit more seamless than Furiosa
I loved to see the practical effects from The Aviator- it would have been great to have a deeper description of how they did that cockpit & undersized engines perspective effect.
Take a look at Tora! Tora! Tora! for some intense plane footage. It was crazy the amount of actual military equipment they used and how close some of the cast came to death on one particular scene!
For flight scenes in films I would love to see the Behind the scenes from Independence Day, The Rocketeer and maybe Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (that movie needs lots of love)
Man, The Aviator is a prime example of when filmmakers make technical and budgetary limitations to work for the movie! Having no limitations doesn't always mean better results when it comes to immersion and cinematic storytelling! What a brilliant man Mr. Legato is.
i'd love to see jon favreau on the show, i keep finding more and more amazing projects that i had no idea he worked on. everything he has a hand in turns to gold.
If you want a great " mistake turned gag" that I did. I was filming a student event at a college campus. The students were racing on office chairs. Well one team got a bit out of control and I had to step back to stay out of the action. The shot ended up with a camera shake right as the chair left shot. So I got sound effects for a tire screech and a door hit and turned it into a "car hits camera pole" gag.

Yes when you realize the limitations of the 1920s it’s actually insane to think about what they pulled off. Hence it won the Oscar.
I was just about to comment this! They absolutely need to look at Wings
Also THE BLUE MAX. INSANE what the ly pulled off back then.
Also Hell's Angels (1930), would have been an interesting comparison to "The Aviator" since that movie is part of the story.

"What can go wrong here is that I've never thought of it before so therefore it can't work" That's Wren for you. The starry-eyed kid watching in wonder and suddenly he drops a line so heavy it generates gravity.
Well, I mean, gravity that you can measure and sense. Like, really heavy stuff? I dunno. GRAVITY!
What an absolute legend and so grounded as well.
The opening plane scene in Overlord was so good!
Would love to see you guys talk about Furiosa. Maybe even comparing it to Fury Road, as both used heavy CGI, but Fury Road made it look a bit more seamless than Furiosa
I like when yall show how normal things are cgi, like glass and other breakable things or filler background seamlessly integrated
3 legends on the couch. I've learned soooo much❤
I loved to see the practical effects from The Aviator- it would have been great to have a deeper description of how they did that cockpit & undersized engines perspective effect.
Great airplane (and rocket) sequences in The Right Stuff (1983). Very well done for the time period.
The long ad in the middle always kills it
The Great Waldo Pepper has some amazing aerial photography and stunts. great film.
So cool with the plain through the camera, thanks for continuing to make this videos
Robert Legato is AMAZING! I would love to see more of his brilliance! Favreau would be amazing too.
Take a look at Tora! Tora! Tora! for some intense plane footage. It was crazy the amount of actual military equipment they used and how close some of the cast came to death on one particular scene!
The plane crash sequence from Hitchcock's Foreign Correspondent is great.
This was so freaking rad guys, I could have watched like 3 more hours of it.
Rob is awesome. My favorite work of his is Interview with the Vampire. Lots of great visual and subtle special effects in that film.
Amazing! What an honour to have Rob’s insight. Now, Get Favreau!
Ya'll need to start putting the filmography of guests like this up on the screen so viewers know just how insane some of these resumes are
For flight scenes in films I would love to see the Behind the scenes from Independence Day, The Rocketeer and maybe Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (that movie needs lots of love)
this show is the high point if youtube entertainment
Man, The Aviator is a prime example of when filmmakers make technical and budgetary limitations to work for the movie! Having no limitations doesn't always mean better results when it comes to immersion and cinematic storytelling! What a brilliant man Mr. Legato is.
i'd love to see jon favreau on the show, i keep finding more and more amazing projects that i had no idea he worked on. everything he has a hand in turns to gold.
An absolute god, sat on your sofa, wow I’m so jealous. Thanks for sharing!
There's a great parachute from a plane scene in Overlord (2018). There's also some great set work and oners.
If you want a great " mistake turned gag" that I did. I was filming a student event at a college campus. The students were racing on office chairs. Well one team got a bit out of control and I had to step back to stay out of the action. The shot ended up with a camera shake right as the chair left shot. So I got sound effects for a tire screech and a door hit and turned it into a "car hits camera pole" gag.
Suggestion: Please react to the dragon vfx in Damsel, the reviews absolutely HATED it but I have my doubts. Would love to see you guys cover it!
Corridor crew is probably my favorite channel on yt
Have you guys ever seen Spielberg's "Always"? Great firefighting plane work. A quasi-remake of one of his favorite films, "A Guy Named Joe".
Masters of the Air series has some AMAZING plane shots and dogfights.
I'd love to see you react to the latest series of doctor who, what's practical and what's VFX would genuinely shock you at times
Love seeing your UA-cam to private website video durations become shorter. GREAT JOB!
Robert is one of my favorite guests!
