      Hey corridor so recently I remembered a show I used to watch when I was little called roll play and I guess it was a show where they tried to get kids moving and the way the show is done is that they’ll have a black background with 3d animated animals however recently when I went through and watched some of their music videos the animation seems a bit rough and early 2000’s style I was wondering if you would consider checking it out

    hi guys!! I'm one of the directors of the Small Soldiers trailer, with my brother Xabier Urrutia. Just wanted to say that we are super happy that you watched it, even more that you reacted to it!! By the way, this is LUMEN, not Path Tracing, which is the Real Time renderer in Unreal. We were surprised by how powerfull it is! Gotta say though, there is a lot of post work done on it too, and as you said, all animations are done outside Unreal, in 3dsmax. I'd definetly love to talk about it with you guys whenever you want, big fan!

    Fun Fact: the comment that Niko makes at 11:25 of "they're highly pressurised spiders" is actually closer to reality than you'd think! Most arachnids use Hydraulic compression as the chief source of locomotion in their legs, with Hemolymph (an invertebrate analogue for blood) acting as the hydraulic fluid. So, in a way, Eight-Legged Freaks actually got that scene right - if a spider was supersized and one of its legs got cut off, it'd likely eject a lot of pressurised Hemolymph. The more you know.

    Since we've officially opened pandora's box on star trek, Corridor Crew HAS to review the DS9 episode where they go back to the original enterprise. Early CGI, but in many ways they seamlessly integrated modern actors into 1960s film. It's impressive to this day.

    Their explanation about CGI fire also helps explain why the Balrog in Lord of The Rings looks really good and still holds up to this day.
    Number 1, the fire was actually real fire that was filmed as a separate element and then simply manipulated using a particle system
    but also Number 2, the Balrog itself is a visually dark character and nearly all of its scenes also take place in very dark surroundings and dark lighting, thus the fire doesn't lose contrast or exposure.

    • @Daveyboy100880
      @Daveyboy100880 Рік тому +8

      I much preferred the look of the Balrog in Fellowship to the Balrog in Two Towers! I think they went with fire sims in the second movie, and it just didn’t have the stylised punch of the first movie. Fellowship Balrog remains one of my favourite CG creatures.

      I think its more that because the Balrog is falling for a lot its scenes in movie 2, the fire and some effects are being somewhat blown away. And in its final scene, a lot of the flames have been extinguished, but the smoke is still there.

    About the Fantastic 4, despite the fact that the new fire effect is "realistically better", I still like the older version. Because you can see his facial expression and acting. Also, with the fire not as bright as the real thing, we are paying attention to the intention of the character but not the flashiness of the flames. Sometimes realistic and grounded are not always the best way do to.

    • @Makverus
      @Makverus Рік тому +3

  • @jasonblalock4429
    @jasonblalock4429 Рік тому +7

    Another Star Trek suggestion: The surreal time travel sequence in Voyage Home. IIRC, it was the first time CGI used an actual scan of actual actors in a movie - which was a huge step forward for 1986! It might also be interesting to look at the Genesis Planet animation from Wrath of Khan, since that was a jawdropper back in the day. Longest CGI shot up to that point, in 1982.

    • @mdmn-ARCA
      @mdmn-ARCA Рік тому +1

      It's more interesting than that, scanning people wasn't really a thing back then, they used a sort of digital pen that can plot points in space, so they had to sit still while a guy would go around their face point by point to plot out the wireframe mesh.
      Pixar did they same thing with their character designs, if you've ever seen the original clay sculpts for the characters in the early films, they have gridlines drawn on them as a guide so they can map them out with the pen.

  • @Clangford
    @Clangford Рік тому +12

    Alright, Nico got me with this prompt. There's a scene in the movie Mirrors with Kiefer Sutherland where he lights on fire and it is BAD. It's brief and I saw the movie one time years ago, but I immediately thought about it when Nico said worst fire you've seen. I imagine that movie must have lots of other VFXs worth breaking down, as well.

  • @erikjsd
    @erikjsd 11 місяців тому +2

    I think one of the things that really sells the "Small Soldiers" animation is the fact that the movements of the action figures have a stutter, or jitter/wobble that is very reminiscent of stop-motion, like we would get from most other forms of live animation for a similar size (claymation, armature animation, etc.) and that subconsciously convinces us both of the realism in the image, and the scale of the figures, because we've seen it many times before.

    Maybe also, Max Schneider's Gibberish music video, the editing kinda breaks my brain there.

    I would say that's one of the two best Star Trek Effects, with the other one being them crashing the saucer of the Enterprise onto the planet. I remember that being a "Holy sh*t!" moment for me in the theaters. Another one that was really cool for the time (but looks VERY dated now) was in the final TOS movie when they attacked the klingons in zero-g and they had the blood drops floating around in the air. That was 1991, so it was pretty cool back then (only spoiled by Terminator 2 coming out earlier that year).

    I'm looking forward to Dune Part 2, but I'm also prepared that they likely took more liberties with the story. Most of the action or battles take place off screen, and so much of the dialogue is a mental game of chess these characters are playing. When a scene starts getting really good, the author pumps the brake and transitions to a completely new scene. As you read the book it becomes increasingly more clear why Dune has been so difficult to adapt.

    To me, one of the most "signature" Star Trek visuals is the Mutara Nebula sequence in Star Trek II (1982). Another from the same movie is the Genesis Device demo sequence which is often credited as one of the first fully CGI sequences - though I think that one was covered on the channel before as it was done by the ILM CGI department which would eventually be spun off as Pixar.
    There were also really good shots in the first Star Trek movie (1979) which was one of the first post-Star Wars effects-heavy films.

    In another episode I think you guys were asking for a clip where the CGI was better than it needed to be. I recently started watching Resident Alien with Alan Tyrdek and IMO the CGI/VFX are really good, looks like they put a lot of effort into morphing from Human to Alien and the Alien looks real. Sometimes they have shots that seems like a flex, which IMO is funny for a show that really isn't about the CGI, it's more about showing off the human side (it's a comedy).

      That opening pullout from Picard's eye into the depths of the Borg Cube was pretty well-done too. But yeah, Star Trek VFX tends to be grounded and functional, rather than showy.

    • @mdmn-ARCA
      @mdmn-ARCA Рік тому +6

      ​@jasonblalock4429 it may be more functional than showy but I've gotta admit I'm not a fan of Niko's clear insinuation that the use of VFX in Star Trek is kinda dull, especially since it's a movie they're reviewing. In First Contact the battle against the Borg cube with the physical and CGI ships and the subsequent enormous green explosion is damned spectacular, it was right at that 90s peak of model work supplemented by CG before the whole industry went all in on CGI and gave us nearly two decades of VFX that age badly.
      But also yeah, I agree with your suggestions, they're good takking points for VFX history, I've suggested them too in the past as well as the Enterprise D saucer crash

      Seasons 6-10 of RvB and first two seasons of RWBY have some of the best fight choreography ever. Monty Oum was a master of making creative weapons and then being even more creative with those weapons, then you add on a perfect understanding of movement, weight, and impact and his fights scenes all look incredible. That's not even mentioning his ability to sync his fights up with the great music from Jeff Williams. RT honestly lost half the value of their animation department when he passed.

    The Star Trek effect actually took about 8 months to do because the alignment didn't work properly with the motion control - they had to then manually shop each frame and move her slightly to the left (or right, I can't remember).

    I wouldn't call that the best cgi in trek but it is nice to see trek get some love on the channel. 90s trek used a lot of practical effects, which have mostly held up over time. Some of the cgi on Star Trek Enterprise, which aired in the early 90s, have that dated, tv series cgi that doesn't hold up as well. It was mainly just the starship models, as by that time they no longer used physical models. It is interesting though, that Star Trek Voyager was the first show to use a cg ship...yet it actually looked better. I think it's because they made a physical model and modeled the cg ship after it...where later shows created the ship fully in computer...which gave them that artificially lit appearance that all 2000s cgi had.

    • @Scuzzlebutt142
      @Scuzzlebutt142 Рік тому

      Models, I think, cause they have to move the camera around them, have a better feeling of mass and realistic movement compared to most CGI shots. The shots of various Enterprises swinging past the camera, when they were done with models, really do still look gorgeous, where as some CGI ones the ship doesn't seem to move right as there isn't enough graceful momentum in there movement for a ship of their size.
      But still, CGI gave us shots like in DS9s Sacrifice of Angels with the Federation Battle Fleet, and those shots rock.

    I don't know if that Small Soldiers: War for the Nekron used any stop-motion (it looked like it did) or if it was ALL Unreal Engine. But, it looked ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. It really looked and felt like action figures coming to life and moving like they realistically would (slight herky-jerky movements as if someone was moving them by hand). Not to mention the little dust and hair details that make it look and feel more lively. That whole clip honestly blew me away. And the lighting and shine on the toys and plastic was FLAWLESS.

      I love how they captured how light the characters would realistically be, given how small they are and the materials they're made of. But also the slight follow-through on fast movements, like their joints aren't quite stiff enough to stop when desired. Or else their joints are too stiff, and so when they stop suddenly their whole body rocks, instead of flexing to absorb the deceleration like a human would.
