"It got three 3090s in it, whatever that means."
i forgot they had that sponsor and then tried to not get visibly angry
@PriyanshuYT Official lmao true
I died inside a little when I heard that.
@@JTAGames Died a little? I fking got seizures!
😈interesting teapartygaming
took me a while to realize that jake is cosplaying clint lmao
I didn't even realise it until I just read your comment. I don't know how I missed that.
Oh shit
Hahaha I missed it lol
SAME LOL
wow, I didn't even notice
Wren: "where did Nick go?"
Niko: "Nick?"
Nick: standing 2 meters away pointing camera at Wren.
Wren still on his pain meds I see
Nick has mastered the art of invisibility by remaining so still he becomes undetectable
I didn't even understand everyone laughing at Wren for about 3 seconds, then it dawned on me that he was behind the camera. This moment was hysterical, it really got me.
nobody minds the camera guy
@@FanaticDrummer I got that reference!
“It’s got three 3090 in it, whatever that mean.”
Me screaming internally.
I thought he mispronounced 3090 as a joke but then did a double take, was like "wait, *three?1*" and then my head underwent multiple fluid dynamics, particle, soft body/deformation, tattered fabric and most importantly explosion simulations... raytraced in HD in real-time.
@@0v_x0 that's what the pc does too
Three 3090s is like... half the cost of their entire studio
It was SO ANNOYING during lockdown that miners were jacking all our cards, I wanted one for ages
But on the upside waiting to upgrade my 1080 I was able to just grab a 4070ti once everything became accessible haha
This is like a version of undercover boss where the boss isn’t undercover lol
@@Veckler overcover boss
They were worried they wouldn't get the video done in time so they make a video about them being worried about the video instead. Absolutely genius
yeah I like how they the get meta with their vlogs, this one is almost a full Charlie Kaufman, lol (check out the movie Adaptation if you've never seen it, it's hilarious and necessary to get the reference - it's a true story about itself, and a fun headtrip. won't spoil anything but if you like this kind of humor in filmmaking, Adaptation is like the apex.)
If the video isn't on schedule, they might as well appease the algorithm with something.
This is classic corridor to be fair, they've show us both the good and the troublesome
Peak procrastination!
They're just half-assing everything because they know people will watch.
This whole video was pretty wholesome to see an OG dip his toes into new territory. Honestly I think Jake is one of those guys who can master anything as long as he puts his mind to it, never forgot how he managed to multi task Corridor and Law School and still managed to properly pass and pass the BAR exam. One of these days would be funny to see Jake put out a top notch vfx video not just as a sponsored meme but to blow away the crew.
Over the course of months jake films a bunch of disjointed scenes and then one day he silently uploads a perfectly edited video that he did entirely himself, vfx and all
Jake's excitement of being hired to do some small VFX work and his nervousness when he's showing his work to a room of VFX artists is so real. Their approval of his work is super wholesome.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate Jake, not just for his work in this video, but all of the other work he does behind the scenes that we don’t see
I almost feel bad for skipping all of his sponsor segments. Almost...
@@Dargonhuman no one does sponsor segments like Corridor, though... 😂
im watching these ads even tho i wont buy anything
He is basically the backbone of CD lol.
@@Dargonhuman not for me, I will gladly skip any ads
Jake volunteers to do the VFX:
Everyone: skeptical vibing

TUTORIAL - how to do muzzle flash hahaha
Ummm.. don't think so, it says "Tutorial: How to Com.."
probably a Comp tutorial
@@ragu0210 if you google “how to do muzzle flash”, one of the first videos is “How to COMposite muzzle flashes” 😀
Such a cool story! Awesome execution. Thank you for the experience
I didn't expect you to be here ... 😅
10/10 would be executed again
After years of ad placements from Jake, I really expected his muzzle flash to be a Vessi logo and when everyone questions him about it, he segues into the sponsored message.
We almost got that with the "I've got some big Vessi shoes to fill" quip.
bro i wanna add another like but then it wouldnt be 369 likes
@@jaytoogood2820 no worries. Likes aren't gonna change anything. But someone might get a giggle out of 69 and that's much better
Lmao
That woulda been the funniest damn thing.
I kinda wish he'd done that now. xD
Every video has a plot and I love it. It's not just like a vlog where someone just tells and shows you what they did and that is it.
You have a very small threshold for the concept of "plot". Please don't become a writer.
@@armoredp what if he/she wanted to become a writer and you just crushed their dreams
@@armoredp dam they’re just stating what they like don’t be an asshole
@@armoredp Did you really have to out of your way to reply to his comment?
@@armoredp
Your mom has a small threshold and huge plots of land. Stay gold Pony Boy.
"I've known for years that I could do VFX. I just never did because no one asked me to" I feel so attacked
"So I have to take several still images and add them to each frame?"
"Yes"
The moment of realization is so crystal clear, you could mine diamonds from it.
When I used Flash back in 2004, I could do a single command to import a sequence of images into an animated graphic and then rescale/rotate all of it at once. Done in 30 secs.
I guess time has been going backwards since Adobe took over.
@@CIinbox importing image sequences still exists widely. Idk what they mean
😂😂😂😂
@@bitslay ikr, I'm a hobbyist and I know that. There's a shortcut that allows you to sequence layers in the order that you click them in AE. I'm not sure if they're just manually doing it for the quality or what, but they must know this.
@@slykhajiit2 more than likely they do it frame by frame A so they can have more control over each frame and fine tune it however they like and B just to make Jake's life harder
Jake not understanding the terms they’re using is me every corridor video
You don't know when to skip the sponsor segment when jake's in the whole video 😂😂😂
Except for the timer that tells you exactly how far to skip...
I like their sponsored segments cause they are entertaining to watch and seamlessly put in the video
@@dominospizza2704 is this a staff member on an alt account
I actually was able to guess the exact point where the ad began
I didn't skip this one for once because I actually really need waterproof shoes living in Vancouver where it rains all the time.
"Ok guys, we really need to get this video done in time"
Nico: Goes home
6:34 we all know jake took this job so he could make the smoothest sponsor segue possible
"We have limited time to get this video done, so let's distract the artists by having them teach Jake at the same time."
Yes, but also I've totally been in the position where I've needed to train someone to help because I need help NOW, but their gap in knowledge wasn't so great as to make it impossible to catch them up to speed in an accelerated time frame, teaching only what they NEED to get done.
More like we have limited time so let's make a filler video to move the deadline.
@@stonesnake2444 Exactly. It was a smart move!
It was actually a smart move since it means they'll be able to release a second video rather than worry too much about the firsts deadline, as even if it didn't realize they still would have this one.
Jake on blender: so we have a square...in this space...SquareSpace!
Underrated segue
gonna keep an eye out for this actually happening on the channel
10:08 This demonstrates the raw power of the _Camera Man_
I’ll never get over the fact that Jake is corrider’s lawyer, but is absolutely hilarious and a great entertainer, not to mention the acting and producing he does in Corridor videos. Corridor just seems like a blast to work with.
Niko always looks like he's spectating the room to find a way to kill someone with every object in the room.
Super sus
He IS John Wick after all. Ha ha ha ha!

"...it's got 3 3090s in it."
HOLY SHIT
"Whatever that means."
Bruh
its probably a joke tho lmao
hopefully ._.
@@swanbones Yup! ... ... ... Hopefully.

@@self-proclaimedanimator dat is thicc metal bois that cost 3k each :D it makes computer fast go brrr
@@self-proclaimedanimator Those are high end graphics cards. RTX 3090 GPU.
Very pricy hardware. It is useful for 3d render using specific render engines like Octane or Redshift etc. Also you need good GPU to crank up the settings when you are gaming.
10:36 "Because he is so hot"
"t e m p e r a t u r e w i s e"
lmfao
"It's got 3 3090s in it.
whatever that means"
crying in PC
this would actually make an amazing series, taking someone who’s surrounded by VFX in every day life but knows nothing about doing VFX, and having them do effects with little instruction.
That would be an interesting companion series to their "Professionals React" series.
Totally had the same thought. It's scripted anyway so why not have the sideline of Jake making it as a VFX artist…
So Adrian broke a clavicle now Wren... i sense a curse of Doby
It's those one-wheels man. Nat also fell recently, I think one-wheels don't like VFX artists.
@Moises Varqueros "Why so curious Catman!"😃
@@eljahihamgottin4540 God dammit, take this like and get the hell outta here.
Didn't one of them break a clavicle flipping over a table in a video awhile back?
@@DeathBringer769 Adrian, one of their former FX guys was the one that did that.
As a self taught editor and vfx artist, I'm really amazed and proud of what Jake was able to accomplish. Reminds me of when I first started. Really cool.
12:20 That monologue was so inspiring, my eyes started watering, and I got goosebumps. Sheesh
God bless Jake. He's the most promising intern yet and he STILL has time to do a sponsored segment
He can be a good unpaid intern
I've been using After Effects for like more than 10 years now and Jake just made, IN 1 DAY, a good-looking muzzle flash effect than I do. Life is so unfair, man.
I mean to be fair he already has access to the assets that corridor as a professional company use, and access to 3 different vfx artist
@@williamhorn74 and the 3 3090s.. whatever that means
He also followed the tutorial Corridor put out on how to make a muzzle flash so I'm assuming you would be able to achieve a similar product to Jake if you gave those a watch ;)
@@williamhorn74 Yeah that's one of the most important things I learned. Be resourceful.
It is also worth mentioning there is some acting/roleplaying in this. Jake may not be as experienced with VFX as Wren and Peter, but he has been with Niko and Sam for almost a decade now, if not more. He most likely has enough VFX experience to be in the team.
5 years later: "Our landlord made a vfx shot that blows our mind"
You can see the legit sense of fulfillment on Jake’s face when presenting his shot. Good for him, that stuff IS NOT easy. Way to go!!!
1:46 dang Niko is making me nervous with his phone hanging over the abyss
😂😂me too
The clint cosplay with the OG Clint spiked up hair makes this 10x better
10:12 Wren's "I'm stupid, I'm so sorry" is a mood
This was fun to watch. I'd like to see more of Jake trying out different people's jobs. Gives me the undercover boss vibes, this was hilarious.
I do appreciate that they tell you how long the sponsored segment is
Peter's "A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one" 10/10
I immediately checked comments and saw no mention of it, until I saw your comment.
I’m just happy SOMEONE caught it.
Jake listening to the vfx artists:- "I like your words magic man"
Peter, LOVE the quote at 2:35! This certainly was “a surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.”
"The collossal titan is very hot, *temperature-wise* "
why did he have to say it like that like we know what you mean LMAOO
Wrens wife might get the wrong idea
Stupid sexy Titan!
Dat hot titan ass ;)
I've never watched Attack on Titan so yeah I wouldn't have known and that shot would have been way more awkward.
@@kaldo_kaldo Hear-hear, me either.
Can we get more of Jordan on screen? She's really cool, has great energy and it would be great to see more of her interacting with the guys!
Riiiiiiight
ah the energy, yes the energy is the draw.
ill make sure to annotate here in the book "energy"
Yes! The guys are great, but honestly it would be nice to have a little more lady energy as a regular fixture in the videos. And she seems pretty awesome.
simp
Exactlyyyy what I’ve been saying
When the boss finally figures out why he pays his crew so much, lol...
14:24 lmfao the awkward silence bro
This is a really good follow up to the job opening video. Very smart way to demonstrate what someone would be in for if they started without the right amount of experience. I think it also shows how approachable things are if you have a little base knowledge. Im building my VFX chops and this is a very motivating video. Thanks.
"Life's about conquering your fears and when you have a UA-cam channel it's about doing that on camera." - JAKE WATSON in 2018
American cops be like:
“FREEZE!” (fires immediately)
"Hey kid, you're moving up in the world"
Uses a clip of JJJ saying "you're fired" 😂
It's so weird to realize that Jake lives in Texas. I must've missed that announcement. I always assumed he was working from home somewhere around LA like the rest of them.
same, I swear I heard a popping sound in my brain at that. this whole time I've been visualising him in an office loft in the warehouse. "oh, lol, move to LA haha clever, I see what you did three, he's obviously already-- wat." I mean I knew he wasn't gonna be real vfx staff hire (#thatsthejoke etc etc) and would keep doing admin but still was a surprise.
I guess only the trutons who listen to corridor cast know all the details
That's why most of the sponsor segments he does are in a different looking office -- he often does them remotely.
@@DeathBringer769
Huh, I never thought of it that way.
They way Jake describes the pc really makes sense why he should have it 😂
In the first 3 minutes on camera Jake already sold 3 sponsors, Vessi, Nvidia and Puget Systems.
5:12 What its like being an animator in a nutshell
" Now I have to fire myself "
- Jake
It's nice to see Jake in the studio, he's such a cool guy.
11:36 "I know that I made it look like I know what I'm doing, but they just keep talking..."
It's like High School all over again 😂😂😂🤙🏽💯
Dude I feel like I haven’t seen Jake so this feels refreshing just seeing him again. He’s awesome 👍🏽
I just wanted to say, I notice those Gains Jake. Good job
One of the most valuable things to me about CC videos, and there is much to value, is how they find a story in everything, in everyday circumstances. They find the tension, and create a script around it with narrative flow that builds that tension and resolves in a satisfying way. Absolute gold to see it done so quickly, so well and repeatedly.
I love how at 7:43 he says without all the stitching and it zooms in on the only stitching on the shoe .
Hey guys ! I just received my scholarship certificate for the school I got accepted in. This school is one of the best 3D animation and VFX school in the _world_ (and I'm not hyperbolizing, check out "ESMA", I've seen it rank between fifth and twelfth on various rankings).
Probably helped that I could talk about subsurface scattering, normal mapping, etc during the interview. So it's possible that I owe it to you guys, and that enough for me to say : Thank you !
Congratulations man!!!

Congratulations human
Good for u :)
Man, seeing him do something he isn't skilled at and slay it is damn inspiring. The Clint cosplay was great too. We'll done Jake
Wren: where did nick go?
Audience: we ARE Nick
looking at Jake's happy face at 14:45 is just so wholesome.
Wren: VFX is hard
Jake: I’m a lawyer, hold my coffee
"a surprise.... A welcome one."
I mean its not the exact quote but i saw what you did there peter ;)
not everything's a reference, he might've just said it
@@JonahNelson7 not our Peter, he doesn't "just say something".
man i look up to guys so much, the things i learn from these videos while being entertained. y’all are my hero’s.
Big respect to the VFX guys that do this for a living. I could NEVER take multiple photos and put them in a stop motion type form, MASSIVE respect to u guys!
Wren clapping on different body parts just shows how wholesome he is. He is CRIPPLED but you KNOW he’s there to support his friends and coworkers
A VFX artist's muzzle flash, is the Chef's omlette.
I'm no vfx artist, and I easily have thousands of hours of my life spent in a kitchen (between feeding myself as well as various jobs). I have maybe a couple dozen hours in AE, probably including rendering (my only actual instruction - besides corridor and captain disillusion on youtube - being an intro to cg/vfx crash course that I took from my middle school english teacher's son, who was at college for vfx and taught a 5 day summer course for kids back home: mainly compositing basics like chroma key, keyframing and masks, plus a bit of boolean 3D modeling and photoshop, and naturally how to rotoscope a lightsaber). Decades later, I know I can make a tolerable muzzle flash, but I can't seem to make an omelet to save my life; it just ends up as scrambled eggs with stuff in it. A few 4 hour super informal vfx classes right before 8th grade 22 years ago that I took for fun, vs cooking I've done for over 40 hours a week at a time so I could stay alive (to be clear I was not making omelets at my jobs, but I did try to learn many times), and between the two I can only pass the basic industry skill test in the first one. go figure. (I can cook other things, but not an omelet. I even only got over-easy eggs down last year and they're my favorite, lol. maybe it's cuz I hated eggs as a kid so I'm late to the game, or maybe I just suck with a spatula and a pan compared to a mouse and a GUI).
[this turns into a long retrospective ramble, cuz I'm tired and my valium prescription is kicking in, so: TL;DR learning basic vfx as a kid and messing around in my free time was a huge formative impact on my life, with positive childhood memory stories about learning vfx, and how with excellent free software and tutorials out there these days I am inspired to get back into it.]
This video has me going back to all the times I've played with vfx and how satisfying it is to learn a new thing and watch it work, so please forgive the rambling train of thought in the rest of this comment. I can also do other vfx and video editing now, some even to a minor freelance level, like when I did some work with finalcut as a semiprofessional intern directly out of high school, and I owe it to that dude teaching vfx to rural kids (I was the only one to register the week I did it, so I got one on one instruction, which had bonuses like more active time on a computer, plus maybe how to 'borrow' thousands of dollars in professional software from the internet, really the only educational option at the time for a 13 year old with no income and not a rich family - legally speaking I am not condoning anything, for the record. I happened to recognize an icon on his desktop, of a program I'd seen at a LAN party with older kids; I asked so he explained it to me, semi reluctantly, he wasn't just blatantly teaching kids about hidden warez servers. I had no money but got to keep learning on my own, though, after taking literally months to acquire the 4 programs I could do anything with over 33.6kbps dialup, but I'm getting off track - it laid the foundation for so many skills really early, I'm so glad I took that class). I know I digress but this brought up good memories. I *was* totally planning to go to school for vfx, basically throughout middle and high school, before I fell very much in love with music production and sound design (plus I'm not the best visual artist, but already had years of proficiency with keyboards and percussion, as well as music theory, with a growing love of electronic music - once I got into the tech side of synthesis, signal modulation and sequencing, and automating all of it, I was hooked). Anyway I still am interested in vfx and like to play with them if given the chance, because it's still fun, and cooler than ever these days - as soon as I have more drive space I've been planning to update bmd resolve, install fusion, install blender, and mentally take it all back in time to 8th grade and let my inner child just go at it. Back then i only had a microVHS camera and no digital converter card on my 350mhz Pentium Ii, so couldn't play around on my own, except once in film class junior year when I could digitize some footage, to play with at home, on their tiny avid rig. So I cut an apple in half with, well obviously a lightsaber, put it back onto tape and got to show it to the class. So these skills pay off, even just for fun. The apple thing didn't affect my grade, it was basically a flex lol, but I was able to keep playing with graphics, too, and even though I couldn't 3D model worth a damn and still can't, I made a "postcard" from the Mayan civilization for a freshman year social studies assignment by managing to make a Mayan pyramid with flattened, stacked cube primitives in an old version of 3ds-max, a bit of tweaking and boolen modeling at the top for the open ritual area, a staircase asset I found online that I just duplicated all the way up all 4 sides, and managing to customize a pretty decent stone texture. I just lit the scene, rendered it with the camera looking up at it with just a clouds-and-sky background, added a sun and lens flare in photoshop, and printed it on glossy photostock at 300dpi. it took most of the night to render the single still image, and I got up really early to print (iirc I did most of this the night before it was due). I initially failed because the teacher thought I handed in a photograph and the assignment was to create something, and I had to explain myself. Then I got an A+. That was a proud moment. I was also that kid who did their PowerPoint presentations in Flash. I'm so far down memory lane here I'm turning into Proust, but my point is: now I have a phone that can shoot 4k, usb-c, and no excuses! cheers corridor and vfx artist's and hobbyists in general for the inspiration.b
@@0v_x0 yeh.
Not at all the lack of quality I was expecting.... Great job, Jake!
I really appreciate the way they work as a team. Also the healthy atmosphere they have at office makes the work as an enjoyment rather than a dangling sword to finish the job
5:22 if anyone is actually importing all the images one by one and adding them frame by frame, you can just pick the first image in your folder with images and then import them using the import image sequence setting
This is the only place that you'll hear the term "a wholesome muzzle flash"
3:25
this is a lovely add to the moment.
It shows the work ethic behind the play, and that there is communication.
neat.
Thank you Corridor Crew for making this video. I have now gained the confidence to practice vfx.
I miss the vlogs starring Jake. He's one of the most amazing person in the Crew.
funny, ususally when jake appears, I skip the video to the end of the ad.
Only Peter could sneak a prequel meme into a video so smoothly
This looks great. Shows how you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it. Plus pushing through things is worth it.
Bravo Jake, your monologue in 11:59 actually is what I feel when I first hired as a programmer when I only have small friction of an IT background..
That label with Jake's new job title on it is a thing of beauty. The misspelling, the odd looking letters. Making something that looks that bad takes skill.
"The Colossal Titan, because he's so hawt... like temperature-wise"
This was one of my fav videos. This was very wholesome and uplifting.
peter is the goat, humble and you can see hes a straight up dude. for real one of two people on this planet im waiting for content from, see in 10 years i cant even imagine
Holy shit , 1 minute. Personal record!
That's what she said ?
The muzzle flash just needed a different blending mode like add or screen, and it would have been much better. Good job for a first after effects vfx shot!
ya that would fix the edge darkening that Sam pointed out. that was really their only main criticism.
when he was using the levels tool I was like "so he *does* know photoshop!" lol. I had joked in my head when he said he knew Ps and Premiere that all he had to do was mash those together in his brain, learn keyframing, and he'd already know after effects 😄. I was obviously being totally hyperbolic but those skills did end up helping him which was cool.
is something so small, but dude the support you get from all of the crew is awesome, dude i know almost nothing about vfx and wanna work there for non salary for life, i need that kind of positivism in my life...
When I crashed on my One Wheel, I fractured my femur. Still healing and it’s been over a year. So be thankful it was only your clavicle, and good luck on getting better!
Jake literally did what I in 1 year of learning AE couldn't
Where did Nick go?
11:22 The moment Jake the Vfx “artest” realized he was in over his head
I love this channel, when I see this on feed I feel like relieved
Whose just waiting for something really big to happen in corridor digital ?..
Damn...I just want these guys to grow and grow more !!!!!
❤love from 🇮🇳
I'm rather hoping they become the next WETA, an indie vfx studio who have been absolutely killing it lately. they worked on the deadpool films, for example. I see them in the credits of lots of stuff the past few years, more and more lately. (edit for typo).
Oooo, now I want a cross-over series like "VFX artists reacting to VFX done by stuntmen" and "Stuntmen reacting to stunts done by VFX artists".
Furthermore I have to say I really enjoy seeing Jake outside of sponsored segments, I really miss videos like the one where he fixes Niko's bow or builds Wren's table.
Those were honestly some of my favorite videos even if some of the techniques he did with the desk made me cringe just a bit as someone who does a decent amount of woodworking. They were so wholesome. I still go back to watch them every once in a while. One of the best is when Jake is restoring his father's old chainsaw.
There can be no other channel compared to this one. Best content, superbly talented and fun loving crew.
Sincerely, really happy to see Jake developing more of his creative side and being able to learn the craft he produces. I feel it'll lead to not only a greater understanding, but a great enjoyment in what you do at Corridor. Cariad fawr o Gymru | Much love from Wales x
I recently bought my Onewheel Pint which I'm learning how to ride atm. Was watching a UA-cam video yesterday about nose dives and breaking the clavicle was the most common injuries with the Onewheel. Told myself "it cant be that common" and then what do I see here... uh
