    • @santishorts
      @santishorts 3 роки тому +14

      Not completely accurate. Square Pictures, the studio that made Spirits Within, only ever made one other thing and that was the short "Final Flight of The Osiris" for The Animatrix. After that Square Pictures pretty much closed shop. Contrary to popular belief, the studio was not based in Japan, it was based in Hawaii and some of the people there may have moved on to work on (then) Square and thus on some of the Final Fantasy cutscenes of that era (post 2003). But Square Pictures as a studio very much ended probably not long after The Matrix project was done.

    Ultimate special effects film, Bram Stoker's Dracula. The whole thing is a love letter to classic film making techniques and anything the could do in camera they did. That miniature of the train with the shadow falling across the journal entry in the foreground blew me away as a kid and still ranks as one of my top 10 miniature shots. They used a combination of miniatures and bigatures to get that. Also Slice of Life, a Blade Runner fan film that looks super legit deserves a look.

      The real time lighting is great but the shadows are what blew me away. They just don't bother re-rendering shadows that don't change in any given frame and that's brilliance in efficiency.

      @@katevgrady I don’t really agree that they all look CGI, but yes, as far as I know, if they looked like a human ghost, they were an actual person on set. They put LED strips under the costumes to illuminate them, and then CGd to remove the strips and add effects to the ghosts like skeletal structures and distortions (Gertrude for example was a person on set, but then they CGd to distort her face rather than use a mask). Only ghosts like Mayhem, the Slimers, Rowan, and the balloons were fully CG that I’m aware of. Granted most of it could have been done like the old films and had people in suits, but it’s so much easier to do CG for monstrous characters, and allows you to get away from human anatomy a bit easier.
      Fun side note, the lady Slimer was added to give Robin Shelby, the actress that played Slimer in GB2, a role in the film.

    Saul Bass' opening credits for Seconds (1966) use an analog distortion effect a lot like the one from Ghostbusters II. Highly recommend watching those credits as well as the film.

    I'd love a break down on the Netflix Lost In Space series. I watched it when it came out and have been background watching it again lately. There are a lot of big set pieces on that show. I think the robot is CG and a suit and looks pretty great.

    You know, I'd love to see them re-release _FF: Spirits Within_ re-built with modern rendering.

    now that someone *has* mentioned "Final Fantasy spirits within", does anyone think that it would look more amazing if we remake it~??
