@@RubberTag I know theres plenty of evidence to support that statement, but what I get from Wren is more of a "grown up kid doing what he loves and still able to fully experience wonder & excitement" -- it's a hard feeling to describe, but I feel like that's who he just is...
@@colmwhateveryoulike3240 It's when the size (the SCOPE) of the project increases during production because you keep adding more ideas to it. This can be very subtle because you keep going _"it'd be cool if we also did THIS"_ and then it piles up, CREEPs up on you and soon enough there's more than you can handle. Especially a problem in video game development.
I have never felt the presence of Daddy Sam more than his very honest appraisal of Peter and his matter of fact description of the terms and stakes of Peter's challenge.
You and your crew have truly outdone yourselves with this episode. The editing and storytelling are exceptional and really stand out compared to your other videos. Great job!
2 years ago: "Digital effects is more than just pressing a button guys. Like a lot of people think that's literally what we're doing, you just tell the computer what you want and it spits out the result." 2 years from now: "Digital effects is literally just pressing a button guys. Like that's literally all we're doing, you just tell the computer what to do and it spits out the result."
good, I hope this technology absolutely explodes and puts the capability for normal people to be able to create content all on their own, people who may not have skill in graphic design or art design, or programming, but say have good writing capabilities, charisma and a vision for a project but was held back due to the cost and uncertainty of having to hire loads of people. All the art crowd will do is adopt the tools to make their workflow much better and faster.
There’s something so special about the last scene in this video. The music, Sam being proud of Peter and excitingly loading the disc in, and Peter walking away, looking back at his accomplishment with admiration.
it just makes sense to me, it really had to be Peter introducing this workflow for us, we should be concerned with the next challenges that corridor makes from now on tho, this man is about to make a damn series on every challenge now 😂
Love seeing Jan. I love that he's still able to use the appendage made by Wren. It wasn't just something made for the channel, it's actually something that has continued to be useful in his daily life and that's amazing.
This is actually kinda freaky it being this good this early. it's only gonna get better. And fast. like... FAST. I've been watching 2 minute papers for a few years and the rate AI is moving at is TRULY terrifying lmao.
I wouldn't say it's early, it's built on the back of a bunch of other things already. But if we ever lose the technology, how will we ever recover the skills we have forgotten?
@@SwordTune Every piece of software is built on the back of a bunch of other things. So I would say that it's still early and very far from a mature piece of software
Much like asking *Chat GPT,* write me a story about XYZ, someday we may have the same ability with film. _"Computer, show me a movie with XYZ parameters."_
Having watched the actual short film before this video, I was absolutely blown away when I realized this didn't take multiple months. It looks SOO good!
Peter is my favorite Corridor employee. His demeanor is so relaxed and chill. Good on you Peter for hitting the deadline. Looking forward to see what you've come up with.
I just love the videos about you people being passionate about their work, their art, and letting us into it. Peter sure is a man of many talents, and it's incredible to see how much he's evolved every time we get to see him taking on projects that seemed nearly impossible to acomplish up until they weren't. Bravo, people!
WAIT that whole video was made in a week? BY ONE PERSON!?!?!? I legit just got goosebumps. When I thought "a week with a team" I was already blown away but it just clicked this was one person. Sorry I mean one peter clone. Seriously Peter is just on a different level.
While really cool, I kinda hope they don't entertain the way the VFX industry goes with constant crunch and crazy deadlines. Working 7 days in a row ain't cool! We should aim for 32h of work over 4 days everywhere, which is... the polar opposite of what VFX artists are required to do.
@@Masarofia I agree. But I dont think this is really promoting or supporting "grind culture" I hate that america is that way. I think this is more just showing off that it can be done and thats incredible. Granted it takes someone with a lot of skill like peter but still amazing.

Sam gives such great advice, as a second year VFX student it’s such a balance between pushing your creative boundaries and knowing how to create an achievable result in the given time period. Great boss, his experience shines through, I would definitely love to work under someone like that.
I really liked the deadline approch like, a project it's not finished until it's perfect, you need to determine when it's done. The blu-ray was a joke, but still, it was a nice idea to make that statement. Seeing the process, and the "mentor" approch was so cool, I think it was my fav video so far from CorridorCrew
I love how passionate they all are about their craft. As a software developer i'm obviously in a way different field, but i definitely know what it's like to work on a project with people who are passionate!
I'm super excited to see what you all can pull off now with some experience with the software and a far less limited deadline. Hell, 1:09 even implies this might open the door to more Bosstown Dynamics!
Peter is one of the best examples of how to be a perfectionist properly. Many perfectionists want to create something perfect, but they lack the skills to actually do it, so they just waste time doing things they don’t understand, tweaking details no one would care about. Peter on the other hand, is a perfectionist who’s done his homework. Thus, when he wants to create something perfect, he is also able to pull it off. If he’s unable yet, he will study. Being a perfectionist is one thing, but being a perfectionist+hardworker is a different story. Another perfectionist who is slightly a bigger name than Peter would be James Cameron. You know, the one who made a few small movies like Terminator, Titanic, and Avatar.
Perhaps what you're proffering is that there are plenty of perfectionists who perpetuate the pretense of possessing the preparation to produce perfect product promptly, but only Peter perhaps is properly prepared with prior proof of practicality to proceed past such primitives and produce prize-worthy productions?
The base level rises, but so does the top floor. This remove the tedium of work. Unlocking more potential to work on overall quality and creativity. Spend time polishing up a shot instead of building from scratch. In fact i think this makes overall quality that much more important; its not just doing it, but how well its being done.
@@jakobvaden7106 yea the technology needs further development. Its not a problem now, but give it some time and it will be. (Personally i think AI technology has both its good and bad sides)
@@jakobvaden7106 I think the issue is that AI cutting down on the amount of effort that goes into creative work, while increasing the amount of content, may reduce it's quality. While not using AI to my knowledge, this is evidenced by Marvel's reduction in VFX quality in favour of more content instead of higher quality content, giving it that plastic over the top kind of feeling. It *feels* fake. As for replacing jobs, it will reduce the amount of people required to complete such a product in a given timeframe which means some number of people will lose their jobs and the job market will become even more competitive, or on the flipside could potentially lead to it being less competitive as the skill floor drops lower, reducing the salary and prestige of any job being "replaced" or "assisted" by AI. When "literally anyone!" can do what used to be a skilled job requiring years of study and experience and know-how, what's the value in such a job? When all labour is "unskilled labour" what remains? Sure, advanced technology does in fact open the door for young or unprivileged creators to have the tools readily available to create something unique and wonderful, I draw the line at a bot just doing it for you. Would you call someone who put a prompt they got from ChatGPT through an AI art generator an artist? I wouldn't.
So I just saw the short and I am just in awe. I totally could watch way more about these e.t's flying around getting into trouble. Seriously you should make more. I'm so glad you did I will probably keep watching that over and over! Love it❤😂😅😊
I've been watching you guys for the last two years ... and I realized just now I wasn't subscribed yet ... kkkkkkk. I think it was for all the times you guys kept ""beggin"" us to subscribe (nobody likes to be told what to do), but now, with no ""begin"" and such a nice content, I just got worried I could miss something from you guys. Such incredible job you guys do!
4:31 Working in software development is somewhat similar. To gain the experience and insights, you need to "get your hands dirty" and spend some amount of time working on the details. But, when better tools come along you should absolutely automate things away and focus on the big picture stuff.
I was literally thinking about what Sam says at the end of the video, only my thought process was "it's painful that I feel like I can do anything, but I currently have time to do nothing." You always have to work within limits, but as Peter shows it takes an incredible effort (and talent) to give a project what it need. Great video!
This makes me wonder if we're gonna have another situation like the Video Gaming crash of 1983; so many poor quality games were churned out that people started losing faith in the whole medium. And now with advent of all this new AI technology it could very well happen all over again, TV shows, Movies, shorts and everything in between being churned out by people probably with their heart in the right place -- but with no experience to speak of so the whole project will be lackluster.
Well the big part of the crash (if i'm remembering it right) was that there was no actual way to determine which games were good and which weren't. There was word of mouth and some magazines but that's nothing compared to the internet nowadays. We do not see like 90% of games (probably even more) that are released on Steam. Indie scene boomed some time ago already and i don't feel that for an average gamer finding good games became harder when that happened. You can actually miss some good ones but not the other way around. Also, there are alternative payment models nowadays like Patreon and other subscription systems, that's a big change a thing. So i wouldn't be worried about that crash happening again. The industry and the world have both changed a lot. Same goes to movies, tv shows, etc. AI giving more leverage to the suits in battle against artists though. That's the powershift i'm worried about.
Loved the video but completely unrelated, Peter’s off hand lesson of breathing to help calm the nerves actually works and helped me out heaps in the last few days! Love these guys
Peter is someone that take a while but makes gold. I feel like he will now spent 4 years remaking this short video into an epic masterpiece lol. Like the satisfying render challenge.
@@Andrew-lg2wq It's a new "Paintbrush" - figure out how you can make it into your current workflow and perhaps it shave big $$$ of production time. This kind of tech could end up being a net win.
@@self-proclaimedanimator is the start of the video even legit, they show how it's done but the camera never points to the screen to see what they are looking at
This is such a good video. The storytelling of this vlog is so great. I feel like the making of is even better than the film itself. Please, more of this.
You actually dont have to do blendshapes your self. There is an NVidia program in which you can import the facial mesh, match the parts of a face (mouth corners, eye corners etc etc etc) and then it will calculate and create all blendshapes for the face and then you just inport it back in blender. It works amazingly good and if you get used to workflow I would say it would take like half hour for all the work, maybe even less. Can also make shapes for vtubers and motion capture and such stuff. Edit: You can also use it for voice syncing and creating AI facial expressions instead of relying on jittery facial capture from this program. Basically use this program for body movement and use nvidias for facial movement. With a bit of cleanup you could get much better facial results. I would say it would probably take 12h more for that short movie but the overall facial animation would look muuuuuuuuuch better. Or maybe create a proper facial capture and import it to blender. But overall good program. Might create some stuff my self with this and my suggested workflow. See how it looks.
When I was a kid first learning VFX and filmmaking about 15 years ago, at first I thought this is how vfx was going to be. Just hit a few buttons and you got aliens, etc. Quickly came to learn it’s much more complicated… but pretty crazy to see that we’re now at the point where it’s almost that easy
This program wouldn't top the talent that it takes to make Scooty. That machine expresses emotions with his eyes and eyebrows... It takes talent to do that.
Well, I wouldn't say that with ControlNet that will change, and it's only on the 1.1 version and then combine it with the method they used to create the rock, paper, scissors film well I'm looking forward to the future
This was a proof of concept if hey had two weeks to do it or two VFX artists it would very easy adjusted it. i hate when people treat shots like this and RPS anime as A grade movies.
I am surprised they didn't end the video in the usual way with the group sitting in front of the TV near the kitchen and watching the final video together
How is this even possible, I was just in shock, I'm sitting watching this video and at the same time shaking my arms with an expander. Directly 1 in 1 is the same, only the handles are green as at 5:10))))
Every video I watch, you guys manage to find a way to make me tear up. Keep being the amazing group of people that every single one of you are. You're all amazing and magical people. Thank you.
This! I was thinking that every occupation sees advances and improvements to whatever tech and processes it employs. There had to have been guys slaving away at the Great Pyramids their entire 40 year lives and then see the new invention of pulleys and levers on retirement day
I can't word exactly how much of a fan I am of that short. The music was good, big kudos on the acting you guys are really getting insane at keeping it in-house.
This happened before also with Phil Tippett. Initially the movie Jurassic Park was supposed to use stop motion techniques for the dinosaur scenes. But then new CGI tech showed up and computers (animators) did that work. From what I recall from some interviews that moment in time did have a profound impact on him and how he viewed his work in cinema.
not until they fuse an advanced single-modular ai (like a future iteration of this one) with a LLM, thus creating as multi-modular general intelligence that can continuously take criticism and direction to generate precisely what a studio is after. don't hold your breath yet but it's coming
After a bit of freaking out over AI and how it makes your passions and knowledge seem trivial, appreciating the process more than the result can be incredibly helpful.
I love this ❤️ mad props to Corridor for all this incredible work and behind the scenes of groundbreaking visual effects - the inspiration is tangible 🙌
I am reminded of something I heard back on the day when 3d animation started back in the day. I've worked in VFX for 30 years. Industrial Light and Magic said (paraphrasing) " We have all the tools and technical geniuses. What we need are creative people." This phrase has served me well in my career since it basically tells you that there will ALWAYS be more tools and tech wizards, but ultimately their success is driven by creative people guiding those tools. While some people in my business HATE A.I., I see it as just another tool. A good tool frees you up from grunt work. All that matters is the end result and how the audience responds. Stay creative.
this is one of the best bts of using wonder i have seen, i am currently trying to figure out the best ways to use it, this is super cool and helpful. thank u guys!
Corridor Crew is such a brilliant entertainers of our time! You guys are setting a new mark on how to engage and entertain humans! Kudos to the team! Wish I can meet you guys some day, your craziness is always inspires and moves me! Keep making, keep rolling, keep entertaining!
Massive credit to Sam and Corridor for helping their employees to grow like this. Seems like a great place to work.

There's gonna be plenty of those coming, no question. Who can press the most buttons the fastest?
This will definitely help the quick made for TV visual effects. It's a good look into a possible future with things being quicker and easier to make.
4:31 Working in software development is somewhat similar.
To gain the experience and insights, you need to "get your hands dirty" and spend some amount of time working on the details. But, when better tools come along you should absolutely automate things away and focus on the big picture stuff.
Wait a rare upload on a weekday, corridor working overtime I see
Its Tuesday though?
Think it's permenant
@@HandsOfTheFather That's what he said. They uploaded on a weekday (Tuesday) instead of weekend (Saturday).
@@BL00DYME55 oh wait im an idiot thank you for clarifying
Love Sam's wise words at the end. We can create anything we can imagine, but that doesn't mean it has meaning for those who watch.
I've been watching this channel since like 2011 i think. This video, is one of the best ones ever.
I’ve been watching since 2016. I love how real y’all have always been. Thank you all for sharing these stories.
I was literally thinking about what Sam says at the end of the video, only my thought process was "it's painful that I feel like I can do anything, but I currently have time to do nothing." You always have to work within limits, but as Peter shows it takes an incredible effort (and talent) to give a project what it need. Great video!
upload the raw version without the cgi i wanna see all the actors pretending to be aliens 🤣🤣
I love the little cinematic stories they kinda tell even in their Crew Videos. Also fuck yeah Peter.
I watched the short and was almost disappointed in corridor, but I knew they had this video up their sleeves. Now I'm just fully impressed wow
I REALLY REALLY love the episodes with peter!!!!
I saw the short film first on corridor, and then saw this and finding out that Peter made it in just 8 days, HOLY COW peter is complete Badass
Matt's bug eyes worked perfectly for that warped perspective/mind focus shot. He looked so interested! 15:22
this is a proper resume for Peter, great respect to the team for supporting eachother
This makes me wonder if we're gonna have another situation like the Video Gaming crash of 1983; so many poor quality games were churned out that people started losing faith in the whole medium. And now with advent of all this new AI technology it could very well happen all over again, TV shows, Movies, shorts and everything in between being churned out by people probably with their heart in the right place -- but with no experience to speak of so the whole project will be lackluster.
Tell me your glass is no longer half full , its just empty.
Well the big part of the crash (if i'm remembering it right) was that there was no actual way to determine which games were good and which weren't. There was word of mouth and some magazines but that's nothing compared to the internet nowadays. We do not see like 90% of games (probably even more) that are released on Steam. Indie scene boomed some time ago already and i don't feel that for an average gamer finding good games became harder when that happened. You can actually miss some good ones but not the other way around. Also, there are alternative payment models nowadays like Patreon and other subscription systems, that's a big change a thing. So i wouldn't be worried about that crash happening again. The industry and the world have both changed a lot. Same goes to movies, tv shows, etc.
AI giving more leverage to the suits in battle against artists though. That's the powershift i'm worried about.
At the end, it would have been hilarious if Sam said, “oh wait, I don’t even have a blu ray player!” And made Peter send him a link or something!
Loved the video but completely unrelated, Peter’s off hand lesson of breathing to help calm the nerves actually works and helped me out heaps in the last few days! Love these guys
Peter is someone that take a while but makes gold. I feel like he will now spent 4 years remaking this short video into an epic masterpiece lol. Like the satisfying render challenge.
Kudos to the actors, especially Austin, whose voice work added so much life to his character.
I don't think you guys should be scared at all, take this tech and run with it!
they are just saying that for drama 😂
you should ask 2d Disney animators in the 90s what they're up to now
@@pioter-ji1bo Yeah when Vfx artist are scared of AI making the job easier it's drama
But when 2d Artist does it it's oh no ai taking over
@@Andrew-lg2wq It's a new "Paintbrush" - figure out how you can make it into your current workflow and perhaps it shave big $$$ of production time. This kind of tech could end up being a net win.
@@self-proclaimedanimator is the start of the video even legit, they show how it's done but the camera never points to the screen to see what they are looking at
This is such a good video. The storytelling of this vlog is so great. I feel like the making of is even better than the film itself.
Please, more of this.
One of my favorite UA-cam pieces of art is Peter's Big Wick Energy short. It really needs a feature length cut.
You actually dont have to do blendshapes your self. There is an NVidia program in which you can import the facial mesh, match the parts of a face (mouth corners, eye corners etc etc etc) and then it will calculate and create all blendshapes for the face and then you just inport it back in blender. It works amazingly good and if you get used to workflow I would say it would take like half hour for all the work, maybe even less.
Can also make shapes for vtubers and motion capture and such stuff.
Edit: You can also use it for voice syncing and creating AI facial expressions instead of relying on jittery facial capture from this program. Basically use this program for body movement and use nvidias for facial movement. With a bit of cleanup you could get much better facial results. I would say it would probably take 12h more for that short movie but the overall facial animation would look muuuuuuuuuch better. Or maybe create a proper facial capture and import it to blender.
But overall good program. Might create some stuff my self with this and my suggested workflow. See how it looks.
do so man.
It would be bonkers if after he delivers the Blu-ray, Sam says "I don't have a disc reader, can you send me the file?"
When I was a kid first learning VFX and filmmaking about 15 years ago, at first I thought this is how vfx was going to be. Just hit a few buttons and you got aliens, etc. Quickly came to learn it’s much more complicated… but pretty crazy to see that we’re now at the point where it’s almost that easy
Ah a classic corridor crew vfx breakdown. Like a fine wine I pretend to understand the nuances of.
This program wouldn't top the talent that it takes to make Scooty. That machine expresses emotions with his eyes and eyebrows... It takes talent to do that.
Yea thats one thing Rest Stop failed. Verbally it was somewhat emotional but visually they were completely dull
Well, I wouldn't say that with ControlNet that will change, and it's only on the 1.1 version and then combine it with the method they used to create the rock, paper, scissors film well I'm looking forward to the future
This was a proof of concept if hey had two weeks to do it or two VFX artists it would very easy adjusted it. i hate when people treat shots like this and RPS anime as A grade movies.
Peter has to be my favorite out of the Corridor Crew. Every video he's in is just gold.
I am surprised they didn't end the video in the usual way with the group sitting in front of the TV near the kitchen and watching the final video together
1950s: In the Future. We will have Flying Cars!
2023: Anti-Work AI Programs.
I wonder how realistic that would have sounded 70 years ago
We have had helicopters for a long ass time.
we have maglevs. Flying trains.
Is it just me or will the blu ray disc be worth a ton in the future?
no it wont
How is this even possible, I was just in shock, I'm sitting watching this video and at the same time shaking my arms with an expander. Directly 1 in 1 is the same, only the handles are green as at 5:10))))
Every video I watch, you guys manage to find a way to make me tear up. Keep being the amazing group of people that every single one of you are. You're all amazing and magical people. Thank you.
We need more videos with Peter
Don't worry, AI will make everyone in every line of work redundant eventually
This! I was thinking that every occupation sees advances and improvements to whatever tech and processes it employs. There had to have been guys slaving away at the Great Pyramids their entire 40 year lives and then see the new invention of pulleys and levers on retirement day
I can't word exactly how much of a fan I am of that short. The music was good, big kudos on the acting you guys are really getting insane at keeping it in-house.
dude movies are gunna be pumping out so fast here soon at a fraction of the cost.
I'm Pumped
That's what MGS2 warned us about
Peter is about to make a feature film in a shorter time than the duration of the film itself
This happened before also with Phil Tippett.
Initially the movie Jurassic Park was supposed to use stop motion techniques for the dinosaur scenes. But then new CGI tech showed up and computers (animators) did that work.
From what I recall from some interviews that moment in time did have a profound impact on him and how he viewed his work in cinema.
Yet surprisingly most of the dinosaur shots in the film are still giant puppets/robots
No one talking about the Animorphs thumbnail. Love it 😂 Props to whoever came up with that idea.
The AI will destroy the world!!!!
The AI:
really loved the part where they played his shortfilm oh wait-
I remember Peter coming to Corridor as an intern, so glad he stayed!
10:30 people learn from mistakes, and I love the fact that Peter is always willing to risk the challenges 😅
Imma go ahead and answer the question of "will this tool replace me?" with a resounding "NO".
not until they fuse an advanced single-modular ai (like a future iteration of this one) with a LLM, thus creating as multi-modular general intelligence that can continuously take criticism and direction to generate precisely what a studio is after. don't hold your breath yet but it's coming
Peter is the guy your girlfriend told you not to worry about
12:50 I immediatly recognized the great Albin Merle!
Very entertaining video guys!
The fact this episode is a brilliantly constructed, hilarious short film in its own right is crazy let alone delivering a full CG film in week!
AI is a tool. Many will loose their creative job because of it, but if you're good at what you're doing, it can elevate your work to annother level.
Any Peter Episode is guaranteed gold.
After a bit of freaking out over AI and how it makes your passions and knowledge seem trivial, appreciating the process more than the result can be incredibly helpful.
I’m glad you swapped the shovel for the correct one in the second shot.
Truly a man of dedication!
And talented with that.
Bravo!
Now let's go and see this short...
Wow, I returned after watching the short. PETER damn. Fantastic.
I love this ❤️ mad props to Corridor for all this incredible work and behind the scenes of groundbreaking visual effects - the inspiration is tangible 🙌
I am reminded of something I heard back on the day when 3d animation started back in the day. I've worked in VFX for 30 years. Industrial Light and Magic said (paraphrasing) " We have all the tools and technical geniuses. What we need are creative people." This phrase has served me well in my career since it basically tells you that there will ALWAYS be more tools and tech wizards, but ultimately their success is driven by creative people guiding those tools. While some people in my business HATE A.I., I see it as just another tool. A good tool frees you up from grunt work. All that matters is the end result and how the audience responds. Stay creative.
That is amazing!
That being said… The switch from the flat shovel (incorrect for digging) to the digging shovel did get to me.
this is one of the best bts of using wonder i have seen, i am currently trying to figure out the best ways to use it, this is super cool and helpful. thank u guys!
Giving 110% works half of the time, every time.
Kudos for giving it all and then some.
This whole video was amazing, and it's just the behind the scenes!
Corridor Crew is such a brilliant entertainers of our time! You guys are setting a new mark on how to engage and entertain humans! Kudos to the team! Wish I can meet you guys some day, your craziness is always inspires and moves me! Keep making, keep rolling, keep entertaining!
