Since No Way Home soon comes out, I would love to see them react to the live-action Spiderman movies throughout the years, from the Raimi trilogy, to the Marc Webb movies, to the mcu spiderman
i love that this series is becoming the official source of information for these topics because of more and more of people that work in the field they are referencing coming on
Fun fact: the rotating camera rigs in House of the Dead were really dangerous. They had them stand on a platform and had the camera rotate around the platform at VERY high speeds. It is said that the actors could have died if they moved too much because the rotation was THAT fast. Uwe is insane.
Supposedly that’s originally the approach the Wachowskis wanted to take on the original matrix set for the bullet time effect but were discouraged due to safety concerns so they went with the many cameras route
My old boss told me they had to do similar stuff on In the Night Garden of all things. The characters are all adults in suits, but comped together at different scales in the show, so sometimes a dynamic camera move would require firing a rig around at 40mph to get the movement to match up when scaled down.
Now that the new Dune movie is out, I’d love to see you guys compare all three versions, 1984 move, and 2000 series, comparing the technology and the creative approaches to each. Sand worms, how they look and move in all versions, from the CGI to the practical shots. The Personal shields, how they moved from the ‘Minecraft’ versions to more of a glow around them, that has to be timed with their fight movements. (PS, I would love for you to try your own version, choreograph your own fight scene and put in your own shields) The blue eyes in the 1984 version, how they compare with the extra luminescent ones in the 2000 version, are those painted into each frame? Ornithopters, from the original versions to the really cool dragonfly versions now Sand effects - All those storms, and how they created the varying textures over the years. That’s just for starters, but an episode where you discuss all three versions would be great to watch.
@@jamiestewart48 I remember watching, they were traveling in the desert at night, but it was just a daytime desert backdrop that was darkened. It was so cringy
I'd love to see a reaction to the original Spiderman trilogy (doc ock's arms, venom and sandman scenes) and also Silent Hill 2006, the otherworld transitions and monster designs (And considering this is a Halloween episode, this movie would've been perfect to react to now).
I just watched Silent Hill the other night and thought it would be cool for them to react to it because the effects were pretty great - and still are, honestly.
@@NicolaiAAA Yes! Some of them are impressive for 2006 and look decent today. I've been asking them to react to this and the spiderman trilogy for so long now. It's as if they don't actually take suggestions from comments.
For the Tomorrow War alien - the Chris Pratt jumping scene is kinda rough, but as far as the size difference, I think it’s because the one at the end of the movie is a different, or at least younger version of the one we see in the middle part of the film. That’s how I remember it anyway, due to the time traveling aspect of the film’s central plot.
It was supposed to be the same queen as the one shown previously. However, because they found the dormant hive in their frozen stasis, it might not have grown to the bigger size. So, yes, I believe you are correct.
The other thing that made Chris Pratt look weird in that shot was that he was way more in focus than the alien, like the director needed the audience to know it was him, even at the expense of it looking real.
Yeah this is a case of, VFX artists doing everything that they can to salvage bad writing. The writer wrote in "Alien runs full speed across the snow, Chris Pratt runs in and catches it" but didn't really think through the implications of that. And the director didn't catch that and go, wait, does that mean Chris Pratt is outrunning the creature? You could've stuck Pratt on a motorcycle or a snowmobile and had him dive off to catch the creature. But, that wasn't in the script, director didn't catch it, so they shot it and handed it to the VFX house and went "do your thing" and I think they did what the could with what they were given.
Yeah, the physics are wonky for sure, but I think the real problem is the compositing wasn't quite right. There's that cut-out look where he's clearly not from the same shot. Whether it's too little motion blur, mismatched lighting, or some other problem, he just pops out of the shot weirdly.
4:13 Niko is correct. This is actually a part of our psychology! Our brain's reward system depends far more on the build-up to a reward than the reward itself. Sicario border crossing has a twenty minute build-up and only about twenty seconds of action, but most people have it as one of their favorite scenes.
Please try to get an interview with some of the original developer + inventors of CGI. Like for the Jurassic Park, Terminator or Abyss movie. Since they worked for Weta and you now have established the connections 😄
2:02 Right before he jumps with the ax you can, clear as day, you can see the black cushion base for him to land on after his flip. Half a second later it shows that he has nothing under him.

*Explorers, 1985* by _Joe Dante_ Industrial Light & Magic pulled off some _wonderful_ shots in that film with the home-made spaceship. A particular shot is where the boys flying the ship are approached by a police helicopter at night, and there's a _full turn around shot_ of the helicopter circling the ship, first shining a light _on_ the forcefield, then shining a light _through_ the force field. How?

I was in my audio production class the other day and my professor showed a really old video of you guys talking about how you didn't use a single gun sound to make your gun sound effects. I was pleasantly surprised.
I absolutely LOVE Cube, one of my film school profs actually did the sound on it and it caught the attention of Darren Aronofsky who hired him on for Requiem for a Dream.
I truly appreciate you guys making your videos in 2160p. It really is nice to get that extra bit of crispness in the video to compare and contrast. Aswell as to see those minor small details you all see.
They did a great job with the monsters in the tomorrow war, from the build up before they're shown to making them feel like an actual creature that has defined strenghts, weaknesses, behaviors...
@@adityawankhede7260 it was okay! The CGI work is legitimately incredible, as you'd expect from WETA. The action scenes did justice to capturing the hopelessness of the situation, creating tension and all that. I just think it fails a bit as a film because the plot is nonsense to the point it's distracting. Found myself shouting "why the hell didn't you just" statements at least 7 or 8 times. Time travel movies being resolved without the time travel bits ever mattering is annoying.
IIRC, there's relatively little CGI in Apollo 13. I think the launch scene was digital, or at least mostly digital, but I'm fairly sure most or all of the rest was practical. And all the zero-G stuff was done for real in a vomit comet.
12:06 Chris Pratt fighting the monster in snowy land and fighting it in the cave are several decades apart in the movie, because thats why the size of the queen changes.
Love that you guys looked at cube, it's a great canadian made horror film, and my program coordinator at my school was actually one of the sound designers on it!
I'm a bit late to this party but Sheldon Stopsack was our Uber Supervisor ad "Dean men tell no tales". The world is small, great work, i really enjoy your stuff.
Since it's now over 25 years old, I'd love to see the Crew react to Season 5 Episode 6 of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 'Trials and Tribble-ations', the one where they put the cast into an old episode of The Original Series!
It would be awesome to see you guys react to the 1977s Spider-Man tv show or movies, because it has some of the best/funniest effects I've seen in my entire life
I actually worked as a tracking/matchmove artist on It - Chapter Two. Very interesting to hear your hot takes on how you guys thought it was done! It's such a trip to think that I was watching these guys and their awesome shorts back in high school to now where they're reacting to work that I've done - keep on being awesome guys!
Scott Pilgrim vs the World and Bunraku are some of the most visually interesting movies I’ve ever seen. I would love an episode on comic book style/stylistic movies!
Just Binged Severance and I could never skip the opening credits. It's so satisfying to watch and see clues about it the show. I would love to see an episode dedicated to well done CGI intros. ( Severance, Game of Thrones, Westworld, new Lord of the Rings....etc..) love every episode. Keep it up everyone!
I was rewatching nightmare on elm street and thought “I hope they do a Halloween episode!” And here it is, thanks guys, it’s great. The next on the wish list is a “Sound FX artist reacts” . It’s something no one talks about and I think could be very interesting!
dissecting stylized styles would be much more interesting than realistic ones. Realism just requires you to throw a lot of work hours at the tiny details, but stylization, here's where the creativity comes upfront, since almost all modern game engines are made with the intention for those hyper-realistic AAA titles in mind you need to do quite a lot of hacks to, say, force the shadows to drop in a non-realistic fashion.
11:30 The problem with the shot is the mismatched camera movement. The 3D CG Shot is extremely dynamic, the camera's bouncing up and down and all over the place, and then Pratt just glides in and remains in the same height and angle in the frame while the camera is still moving and shaking. Some compositor somewhere forgot to apply the 3D camera motion to his 2d cutout. Also, like you mentioned, Pratt's entrance feels too slow for the movement of the creature. It should have been double the speed.
The more I watch the crew. You three in specific for me personally. It inspires me more and more to go into VFX artist line work my way up and get some experience and hopefully eventually join the crew and see what the future holds
You guys should check out the visual effects for the What We Do in the Shadows TV series. Always felt like they have pretty good visual effects (both CGI and practical); at least for a comedy TV series.
As basic of an action movie that The Tomorrow War was, I still actually found it quite fun and entertaining (wasn't a fan of the gratuitous PG-13 F bomb dropped in unnecessarily). I also absolutely loved the designs used for the aliens. They were very unique. Kinda made me think of a combination of the monsters from The Great Wall and the aliens from A Quiet Place and then of course the aliens from Alien. And I also cried when Muri died
I was honestly surprised at just _how_ good the effects were for the Tomorrow War. I mean, they looked _really_ good for a movie that wasn't a big Hollywood film, which was really cool to see.
It actually cost 200M. Pretty big budget! News outlets reported that Skydance sold it to Amazon in January this year. Would've been theatrically released for sure if not for the pandemic.
I would LOVE to see your reactions to Little Shop of Horrors and/or The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. They have so AWESOME vfx and some cool practical effects as well!
I'd so love to see you guys talk about the "bumping the lamp" scene in Roger Rabbit. The fact that they bumped the lamp to make it swing just to make it even more difficult on themselves....ballers
You guys should do a live action anime adaptations for one of your upcoming ones, you could do Gintama and Fullmetal (awful movie but I would love to see the VFX breakdown)
Tomorrow War overall was cool but the beasts in it were amazing! Not only how great they made them look but also how they fighted in various ways and different environments!
I would love to see you guys take a look at the 2016 The Legend of Tarzan, especially the vine swinging scenes. I'm really curious to see what you guys have to say about that.
12:08 in regards to it being smaller, the scene where he hops onto it is in "modern day", while the big hulking queen where they are trying to capture it and it looks massive is several decades in the future which means it's either a different creature entirely, or over the course of several decades, it grew to be bigger.
That shot of Chris Pratt in The Tomorrow War practically ruined the whole movie for me. It took me out of the movie in such a harsh way. I'm glad you guys confirmed what I felt. I'm no visual fx expert but I knew that shot was rough.
Would be dope to see you guys react to the 'Oats Studios' series of shorts that was recently added to Netflix. Super eerie collection of shorts with different concepts for each episode, sort of similar to Love, Death, and Robots, but all from the same studio and each episode has lots of incredible VFX that I think you all would really enjoy. Wide variety of CGI animation, VFX integrated into live action, and practical FX as well. Also some SUPER cool creature designs in a number of episodes that, in my opinion, are phenomenal.
I watched them all a few years ago when they first came out, they really are incredible. Blomkamp has always been one of the best visual effects directors around, not a lot comes close to the realism he gets in his films.
We would like you react to the VFX of all the Spider-Man movies. Such as, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Which probably has the best effects in terms of Spider-Man’s movement imo), Tom Holland’s Movies and the Tobey Maguire’s movies. We would like that special episode due to the hype for No Way Home and because your analysis are fantastic. Waiting for the video :)
I have to admit that The Amazing Spider-man 2 has the best CG, particularly on the Spider-man suit and it swinging around New York, it looks so photo realistic. However I do think the Raimi series has some great practical effects namely Doc Ocks tentacles and they blend it pretty well with the times it's cg. Spider-man 3 also has some great CG like the goo of venom and particles of Sandman, although I do admit the physics are a little off at times. In comparison I think Hollands films look pretty bad, maybe because the definition of the film is higher so CG is easier to spot. But the suit I think looks faker as it's more skin tight and doesn't wrinkle. Some of the physics look floaty too, like Peter hopping on poles in Venice. There's a great video on Marvel overusing CG which I agree with, especially with the floaty head syndrome Iron Man gets.
@@robertbrookes2000 I agree with the rest but him hopping on poles was not CGI but a practical stunt. There is a video of Tom Holland actually doing it.
Always in the back of my mind to suggest a CG review of 'Tomorrow War'. Happy to see it happened. Sam was dead on with the scene problem (Pratt jumping on alien). Suggestion to correct it? I was thinking if his image jumped on the alien faster (image speed of Pratt, motion blur, etc) it would look more correct/real. It would seem as if he was nearby & made a quick, "last minute" dive on the alien & stuck it luckily. I'd like to hear different theories on how to correct it from 'Corridor' and talented commenting individuals.
I’d love to see a reaction to Crazy Pictures “The Unthinkable” incredible vfx for the super low budget they had. The whole movie was funded by kickstarter
I love to see Cube getting respect from you guys. I'd love to see your take on the sequel, Cube 2: Hypercube. I have my suspicions on which end of Bad & Great a lot of that will land, but I still really enjoy the movie :)
@@rosshaseman5093 Yeah Zero wasn't terrible. I did honestly still kinda like Hypercube though bu like I said only because I loved the original so much. It wasn't great but it was slightly interesting if not a little ott lol
Corridor Crew, have you ever reacted to The Pianist? I recently watched it and some of the scenes made me question if there’s many visual effects involved. I’m m sure there has to be but would love to see your reaction to their scenes. In particular nearing the end when the camera pans out to a destroyed town with him alone. Thanks Elliot
In Tomorrow War, the creature is smaller in those scenes because they are attempting to kill the aliens during the present day, before the "war" can ever occur. The "larger" queen scene takes place in the future, so it is inherently bigger as it has had time to grow.
Movies garbage and makes zero sense. Taking soldiers from the past just makes Earth weak, should of just used the past to fuel arms and develop weapons against the white spikes.
Midsommar gets denied AGAIN!? Cruel. Midsommar has some of the most effective and subtle VFX work in the industry. Would love to see you guys take a look at it.
I don’t know if you’ve guys have reviewed it before but I would like to see Man of Steel specifically the final battle with Zod with building destruction
I give thanks for Thanksgiving movies! Two of my favorites are Scent of a Woman and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. I sometimes throw in Miracle on 34th Street since it deals with the Thanksgiving Day parade.
Love Cube, great movie. Big thing to remember about it is that it is a low budget Canadian film, its budget was only $350 000 which is why it only had 1 cube set, they changed the colours for the other room. And it was 1997 so cgi wasn't the option that it is today. This is a perfect example of making a small budget look big and it made a small fortune.

I'm a bit late to this party but Sheldon Stopsack was our Uber Supervisor ad "Dean men tell no tales". The world is small, great work, i really enjoy your stuff.
Since it's now over 25 years old, I'd love to see the Crew react to Season 5 Episode 6 of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 'Trials and Tribble-ations', the one where they put the cast into an old episode of The Original Series!
I've wanted them to do this for a long time. The effect was amazing.
Deep Space Nine is so underrated. Outstanding show, yo.
I wanna know how guys think the ornithopter wings in DUNE Part 1 were done, they looked really cool and strange
They're CGI. No mystery there. Really good motion blur, though.
It would be awesome to see you guys react to the 1977s Spider-Man tv show or movies, because it has some of the best/funniest effects I've seen in my entire life
The confidence and all behind Wren’s “hell yea” at 9:01 is the best 🤣
I didn't see that before,it was hilarious , thank you
I actually worked as a tracking/matchmove artist on It - Chapter Two. Very interesting to hear your hot takes on how you guys thought it was done! It's such a trip to think that I was watching these guys and their awesome shorts back in high school to now where they're reacting to work that I've done - keep on being awesome guys!
look at you, slyly refraining from any comment indicating how close or far off their speculation was... ;)
Scott Pilgrim vs the World and Bunraku are some of the most visually interesting movies I’ve ever seen. I would love an episode on comic book style/stylistic movies!
What about Krull and Casino Royal?
Seconded. I'm not sure if I want to see Bunraku in particular more on vfx artists react or stuntmen react.
Fellas, there's a simple explanation to why Chris Pratt was able to yeet himself onto the creature. He's Mario.
Naaa! Sonic! He was running fast!
Wren handled the head spider super well, that was horrifying.
He saw The Thing.
glad i wasnt the only one completely horrified 😅
Why does that head lowkey look like him tho?
@@rebotero89 yup my thought exactly when i saw that thumbnail
I can't wait to see a Dune episode. Probably the most beautiful sci-fi movie I've ever seen.

Just Binged Severance and I could never skip the opening credits. It's so satisfying to watch and see clues about it the show. I would love to see an episode dedicated to well done CGI intros. ( Severance, Game of Thrones, Westworld, new Lord of the Rings....etc..) love every episode. Keep it up everyone!
I was rewatching nightmare on elm street and thought “I hope they do a Halloween episode!” And here it is, thanks guys, it’s great.
The next on the wish list is a “Sound FX artist reacts” . It’s something no one talks about and I think could be very interesting!
This is such a good recommendation!! Sound designers deserve SO much respect for building literally half the movie!
2:00 when the zombie does a flip you can actually see the crash mat on the floor in front of him ✌️
Imagine a dedicated series just for reacting to insanely realistic or stylized graphics in games. That would be dope!!!
that would be the shortest series ever.
@@lmaoqasim Cynical and unobservant, what a package.
dissecting stylized styles would be much more interesting than realistic ones. Realism just requires you to throw a lot of work hours at the tiny details, but stylization, here's where the creativity comes upfront, since almost all modern game engines are made with the intention for those hyper-realistic AAA titles in mind you need to do quite a lot of hacks to, say, force the shadows to drop in a non-realistic fashion.
11:30 The problem with the shot is the mismatched camera movement. The 3D CG Shot is extremely dynamic, the camera's bouncing up and down and all over the place, and then Pratt just glides in and remains in the same height and angle in the frame while the camera is still moving and shaking. Some compositor somewhere forgot to apply the 3D camera motion to his 2d cutout. Also, like you mentioned, Pratt's entrance feels too slow for the movement of the creature. It should have been double the speed.
The more I watch the crew. You three in specific for me personally. It inspires me more and more to go into VFX artist line work my way up and get some experience and hopefully eventually join the crew and see what the future holds
The iconic “how do you think they did this” is the best part of every episode. Thanks guys 😬
Agreed
You guys should check out the visual effects for the What We Do in the Shadows TV series. Always felt like they have pretty good visual effects (both CGI and practical); at least for a comedy TV series.
17:05
Corridor: ok Jordan, we need you to really sell raycons durability.
* Jordan releases the inner demon*
😃😃😂😂
As basic of an action movie that The Tomorrow War was, I still actually found it quite fun and entertaining (wasn't a fan of the gratuitous PG-13 F bomb dropped in unnecessarily). I also absolutely loved the designs used for the aliens. They were very unique. Kinda made me think of a combination of the monsters from The Great Wall and the aliens from A Quiet Place and then of course the aliens from Alien.
And I also cried when
Muri died
Im @00:24 seconds in and im SOOOO happy you guys are looking at the Cube! my all time favorite horror.
I was honestly surprised at just _how_ good the effects were for the Tomorrow War. I mean, they looked _really_ good for a movie that wasn't a big Hollywood film, which was really cool to see.
It actually cost 200M. Pretty big budget! News outlets reported that Skydance sold it to Amazon in January this year. Would've been theatrically released for sure if not for the pandemic.
Effects were decent, but the art composition for those effects was just alright
It was a big Hollywood film, just got released on streaming due to the pandemic.
@@stephenhumphries9419 Skydance is an Ellison company. I'd say it cost 100M max plus 100M coke budget for Ellision and "friends" ;)
Lol
Jordan is so lovely!
React to Dune Part 1!! Can’t wait to see you guys cover this absolute gem of a movie.
Maybe the next year cuz the movie is still on cinemas
Ngl Dune is kinda boring
@@unicornhuntercg
To each their own.
@@Ferchovicente it's on hbo max also, so maybe they could just wait until it's no longer in theaters
everything was great in that movie.. except the power rangers kind of suit fight scene of Atreides.. that was really off.
Nice to see Edge of Tomorrow get a mention :) I was the cg lighting lead on that at Framestore all those years ago.
I just got back from Antlers and the creature effects are absolutely stunning. Couldn't even tell if it was CG or costume/rigging work.
you guys should do an episode dedicated to dragon cgi, especially reign of fire from 2002, got and smaug
And Draco from Dragon Heart - they made a big puppet rig if I remember right
A dragon episode would be fascinating
Talking about dragons and noone mentions the dragon in Dragonslayer?
I would LOVE to see your reactions to Little Shop of Horrors and/or The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. They have so AWESOME vfx and some cool practical effects as well!
Which version of Little shop of horrors?

Pause at 7:35, they put so much detail into it down to the shadow being cast by the hairs on the spider leg🤯👏👏👏👏
I'd so love to see you guys talk about the "bumping the lamp" scene in Roger Rabbit. The fact that they bumped the lamp to make it swing just to make it even more difficult on themselves....ballers
Continuing the spooky theme, a look at the Alien/Predator/AVP series and the evolution of the effects used from 1979 to 2018 so far would be awesome.
I love the analysis and reactions for horror movies from you guys specifically!
Maybe Halloween needs to happen a bit more often hmmm
You guys should do a live action anime adaptations for one of your upcoming ones, you could do Gintama and Fullmetal (awful movie but I would love to see the VFX breakdown)
The Gintama movie wasn't great visual effects wise, but damn was it a funny movie.
or jojo and parysite
Tomorrow War overall was cool but the beasts in it were amazing! Not only how great they made them look but also how they fighted in various ways and different environments!
Gave a like mostly for Jordan showing how raycons stay in place. Love all of your content guys
I would love to see you guys take a look at the 2016 The Legend of Tarzan, especially the vine swinging scenes. I'm really curious to see what you guys have to say about that.
That scene from IT never fails to make me flinch
Dune should be included in your next reaction, the visual effects for that movie were impeccable!
Id love to hear you talk about foundation. It is just visually stunning and i can't believe they got it to that level when it's "just" a series
The white spikes always amazed me with the creature animation and JUST how realistic they move.
12:08 in regards to it being smaller, the scene where he hops onto it is in "modern day", while the big hulking queen where they are trying to capture it and it looks massive is several decades in the future which means it's either a different creature entirely, or over the course of several decades, it grew to be bigger.
Would be great to see a dune episode covering Lynch’s film, the mini series, and the new one.
That shot of Chris Pratt in The Tomorrow War practically ruined the whole movie for me. It took me out of the movie in such a harsh way. I'm glad you guys confirmed what I felt. I'm no visual fx expert but I knew that shot was rough.
You guys should totally dedicate an episode to the different visual effects in love death and robots, there’s some really interesting stuff!
Glad to see some love for Cube. It makes my little Canadian heart proud.
Would be dope to see you guys react to the 'Oats Studios' series of shorts that was recently added to Netflix. Super eerie collection of shorts with different concepts for each episode, sort of similar to Love, Death, and Robots, but all from the same studio and each episode has lots of incredible VFX that I think you all would really enjoy. Wide variety of CGI animation, VFX integrated into live action, and practical FX as well. Also some SUPER cool creature designs in a number of episodes that, in my opinion, are phenomenal.
I watched them all a few years ago when they first came out, they really are incredible. Blomkamp has always been one of the best visual effects directors around, not a lot comes close to the realism he gets in his films.
We would like you react to the VFX of all the Spider-Man movies. Such as, The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Which probably has the best effects in terms of Spider-Man’s movement imo), Tom Holland’s Movies and the Tobey Maguire’s movies. We would like that special episode due to the hype for No Way Home and because your analysis are fantastic. Waiting for the video :)
I have to admit that The Amazing Spider-man 2 has the best CG, particularly on the Spider-man suit and it swinging around New York, it looks so photo realistic.
However I do think the Raimi series has some great practical effects namely Doc Ocks tentacles and they blend it pretty well with the times it's cg. Spider-man 3 also has some great CG like the goo of venom and particles of Sandman, although I do admit the physics are a little off at times.
In comparison I think Hollands films look pretty bad, maybe because the definition of the film is higher so CG is easier to spot. But the suit I think looks faker as it's more skin tight and doesn't wrinkle. Some of the physics look floaty too, like Peter hopping on poles in Venice.
There's a great video on Marvel overusing CG which I agree with, especially with the floaty head syndrome Iron Man gets.
@@robertbrookes2000 video name?channel? link?
Yes!
@@robertbrookes2000
I agree with the rest but him hopping on poles was not CGI but a practical stunt. There is a video of Tom Holland actually doing it.
Would love for you to have a look at Primeval, a BBC Tv show from 2007 that had pretty decent CG for the time and limits of television.
Second that! Good vfx, enough for me to really care and be afraid for the protagonists.
Yes!! I loved that show and own every season and still watch it sometimes
i saw cube like 200 times back when i was use to smoke weed. i saw hyper cube a wild amount so, cool to see cube clips love u guys
Always in the back of my mind to suggest a CG review of 'Tomorrow War'. Happy to see it happened. Sam was dead on with the scene problem (Pratt jumping on alien). Suggestion to correct it? I was thinking if his image jumped on the alien faster (image speed of Pratt, motion blur, etc) it would look more correct/real. It would seem as if he was nearby & made a quick, "last minute" dive on the alien & stuck it luckily.
I'd like to hear different theories on how to correct it from 'Corridor' and talented commenting individuals.
I like Jake segments, he is goofy and funny. But Jordan, she is on the whole new level. Go, Jordan!
I’d love to see a reaction to Crazy Pictures “The Unthinkable” incredible vfx for the super low budget they had. The whole movie was funded by kickstarter
This! 100%
For Sweden! 🗡🇸🇪
Jordan has come the closest to getting me to almost buy a pair of raycons.
She's so cute trying to sell things, isn't she? Too bad I don't need them
I love to see Cube getting respect from you guys. I'd love to see your take on the sequel, Cube 2: Hypercube.
I have my suspicions on which end of Bad & Great a lot of that will land, but I still really enjoy the movie :)
The Tomorrow War is so underrated...
I just hope you feature a lot more VFX shots of it in the future episodes of VFX React...
Please do a VFX artists’ reaction video to Aliens (by James Cameron): some of the best old-school effects ever captured on film!
Oh man Cube was such an amazing film. The sequels weren't as good but my love for the original made me like them anyway
Agree! Cube us such a awesome movie! Kinda wanna hear people talk more about it!
I remember cube zero being decent, it added a bunch to the lore. Hypercube was terrible though!
@@rosshaseman5093 Yeah Zero wasn't terrible. I did honestly still kinda like Hypercube though bu like I said only because I loved the original so much. It wasn't great but it was slightly interesting if not a little ott lol
Has CC ever done an episode where they break down the FX from The Crow? Maybe a little too soon to with the what happened on the set of Rust though.
Thanks for the concept art shout out guys! really enjoy what you do!
Corridor Crew, have you ever reacted to The Pianist?
I recently watched it and some of the scenes made me question if there’s many visual effects involved. I’m m sure there has to be but would love to see your reaction to their scenes. In particular nearing the end when the camera pans out to a destroyed town with him alone.
Thanks
Elliot
In Tomorrow War, the creature is smaller in those scenes because they are attempting to kill the aliens during the present day, before the "war" can ever occur. The "larger" queen scene takes place in the future, so it is inherently bigger as it has had time to grow.
Movies garbage and makes zero sense. Taking soldiers from the past just makes Earth weak, should of just used the past to fuel arms and develop weapons against the white spikes.
@@PepicWalrus that's exactly what they did? They took people from the past to buy them time to make a toxin to kill the white spikes.
Midsommar gets denied AGAIN!? Cruel. Midsommar has some of the most effective and subtle VFX work in the industry. Would love to see you guys take a look at it.
I don’t know if you’ve guys have reviewed it before but I would like to see Man of Steel specifically the final battle with Zod with building destruction
I give thanks for Thanksgiving movies! Two of my favorites are Scent of a Woman and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. I sometimes throw in Miracle on 34th Street since it deals with the Thanksgiving Day parade.
Love Cube, great movie. Big thing to remember about it is that it is a low budget Canadian film, its budget was only $350 000 which is why it only had 1 cube set, they changed the colours for the other room. And it was 1997 so cgi wasn't the option that it is today. This is a perfect example of making a small budget look big and it made a small fortune.
