Would love to see James Cameron on the react couch watching this with you all! 😅
That would be incredible!
Hey man! I've liked your videos for a long time :)
Oh yeah, definitely
YES!!!!
Yeah, that would b useful
He'd point out what you did well and what you can improve
This way they can work on improving the tech.
And by doing that you'd get better looking movies faster and cheaper.
i always respect sponsored products more when they let the creator use it how they want and not hide the flaws to make it appear perfect.
Imo this is the BEST way to show a promo, you use It, show how It works and everyone draws conclussions on wheter they like It or not. Corridor Digital are just such OG's they have my eternal respect.
They could coz they knew that had an amazing product and it shows. honestly one of the best ads ever
Technically superior, but lacking the heart that the previous one had.
_"Hey! Heeeey!"_ will always bring a tear to my eye.
so, just like the original 👌👌
Hey! HEY!! HEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY!!!!!(kick to the face)
YOURE STILL ACTIVE??
@@kawion Wait and see tomorrow! 😉
Ami!!! No way! Love finding you on other channels I love. And also damn you Tom Cruise!
This is like a mid-tier videogame cutscene from a decade ago, the return on effort is immense.
Honestly, the only reason this was at all janky is because of the low detail Navi models and the intentional lack of effort. You could probably make some pretty remarkable shit if you took your time on the skin textures, had good actors, and fixing the limbs.
This deserves some actual props, even though it’s silly af.
They have skill for it for sure, the funny past about Avetar is look like weird 😅😅😅
Agreed, but the idea was just to show how far you could get with what is available today.
These guys got 90% there with widely available and either free or relatively inexpensive tools.
If it was a full studio effort with polished voice acting and actors, time to flesh out models etc. they would most probably get even closer.
Cameron was shooting Avatar 2 for 12 years, dropping a billion dollars in the process.
An animated film student can now mostly get to something comparable at an iota of the cost..
Crazy how far we have come in a little over a decade.
AI is changing the game real quick
@@scroopynooperz9051 I think the script covered the original movie as well, and I suppose AI could improve on that as well with a little prompting.
yea but, yea but... the whole point is to do it ASAP and low cost. I'm sure you can make it beautiful by sinking time & money. We've got Avatar 2 to show us that.
@@scroopynooperz9051 "90% there" lol, that last 10% probably takes a magnitude more time and effort.
I love that Clint can just pop back in for a video project without them having to explain who he is. He's just that old friend who's always still around to jump back in when they need him.
oh, yeah I forgot he left at a professional capacity
I mean this is obviously 3-5 years away from being heavily used in any final post- production shots. But what an amazing tool to get quick pre-vis or storyboard elements!
Well, I forgot that most of everything shown here is free software 😅😅👍
Watching this video makes me realize that investing more than a billion dollars to make your movie as realistic as possible is so worth it.
facts
not for long
Came here looking for this comment lol
Reading this comment reminds me that a billion dollars of VFX budget makes great looking images, but that money still can't really save a movie with uninteresting writing.
@@thatcherfreemanreading this reply reminds me that 2,300,000,000 is a bigger number than 1,000,000,000 so no matter what you think of the plot it clearly doesn’t need saving
The way she knocks the rock down, completely defying all laws of Physics, best part.
Yeah that "push" with lo leverage made me laugh _and_ sigh :D
I loved that and her emotional face out of the water lol
she imagined some chris boulder pawnching
Hey maybe the rock was hollow (or she weighed thousands of pounds lol)
That was her Wily Coyote moment.
the voice acting seals the deal. Wonderful
The dialogue was also brilliant.
the sound edit kills it lol
For the next one they need to use a text to speech AI for sure xD
I mean, it’s not hard when the next movie’s gonna take another 10+ years to come out
isnt it coming out in 2025
ioxoxo🎉
Oh my god bakertuts is still alive LFG
@@whammywatermelonsorry, I forgot the /s

These performance capture tools have reached a level where you can capture very subtle expressions.
Such a massive improvement over Avatar 2! The models, shaders, textures, and environment are significantly better!
joke
*Avetar
By Avetar 5 it might be ready for Netflix
facial animation is actually really good
The plot is loads better.
Honestly this turned out better than I expected. It's really amazing what you can do with free software and a camera in just a few days. Things like this can really inspire someone to chase a career in VFX.
Shooting the mocap before you have a script....awesome....now you really produce your film like a modern Hollywood blockbuster!
If they use this approach to create animatics before production it could save a TON.
They've done it, in the first Avatar
Its called virtual production
Yeah, but with THESE particular tools...
@@luvz2reed I get what you're saying.. and i'm sure the guys in the pre-vis community know about it, and I wouldn't be surprised if they do start utilizing this software to create even faster pre-vis and maybe even with stunt teams to give more realistic stunt pre-vis. (I feel like i've said pre-vis too much lol)
@@MartFord Thank you.
The shot where he says, "I know. Let's tread carefully," is actually like a legitimately good performance. 👏
The facial expressions saw a huge jump in quality with this sequel, I was actually genuinely impressed. Going to be checking out rokoko in a bit.
Oscar worthy for sure! James would be proud xD
The submarine would be proud
James was proud. He was just off camera, watching his creation.
Proud enough to sue! 😂😂
Osker
wrr
I would love to hear Jame's thought on these. I would hope that he finds these as fun as other people, because its obvious they are doing it because they love the movies.
I honestly think he'd love it if he even had the time to acknowledge it's existence. If only because it's pushing to make films with tools that have to be wrangled into doing things they weren't originally meant to. I'd be shocked if Rokoko didn't implement new features just because of this.
@@TheRealAlpha2 Yeah, he had the time to comment on the suicide sub debacle, what's a few hours with the Corridor crew on their sofa?
This is a man who filmed the first Terminator under the cloak of night because he didn't have the right permits. I am sure he would love this.
Genuinely impressive what you could achieve with free software. Sometimes I take it for granted that I learnt about the most of the technologies you used from your channel. I've never regretted subbing :)
It only took me about 25 seconds to completely forget that this wasn't the "real" Avatar 2. The high-quality action direction and expressive, non-robotic facial animations were what helped me become fully... immersed :D
Love that some of the animations you've done are getting sequels with newer technology and software.
It's nice to see Clint teaming up with you guys again! :D
Another Banger , Period! Dont stop this !!! You guys make a big portion of my day! You need segments when an editor just shows how they edit a video ; even just swapping sound for a movie clip for example to make it better, help us little people learn the ways lol
Wow, that is really impressive! So amazing you can get such good mocap from a single source of video nowadays!
This looks so awsome, i could imagine a full corridor video with this tech. This unlocks so much potential for even more awsome content from you.
"You won't believe an AI made this"
I do believe actually.
Given the limited time to film underwater, facial capture, and do all the technical stuff, that was pretty awesome! With FREE software too? Fantastic! It's still got the jank of course but definitely services the purpose of showcasing how you can leverage what's available to you when doing VFX or film making.
Now let's get Avatar 4 done before James even has 3!
Crazy dedication as always Corridor. Really- just awesome job
That was dope!! Killed it Sam!
Sam wears a Metal Gear AND a rhapsody t-shirt in this one... I think he might be my spirit animal... 🙌
Now imagine having to do train yourself in the proper breath holding techniques so can keep you hold your breath underwater for up to 4 minutes at a time to act out the scene in its entirety
They shouldve done this
so so cool to see the evolution of tech through your videos and a response in your workflow
13:44 - 11/10 meme shot! Just needs to be turned into a gif of Neytiri flailing as "NOOOOOOOO!" scrolls by at the bottom 🤣
I was really impressed with MetaHuman animator. That software gets some really impressive results.
Me: Do we wanna see Avatar 3?
They: We have avatar 3 in home xD
You guys upped the quality to video game cutscene levels
No but seriously that very opening shot was actually beautiful and genuinely worthy of the big screen, no joke.
This made me appreciate the work of James
I was waiting for a James Cameron cameo in his little submarine. Missed opportunity Gorski 😂
I love this content! I was just watching Age of Ultron and saw Pietro’s super speed effect and it got me thinking: could y’all do a video on super-speed visuals in movies? Different ones like the Flash series, Queen of the Damned, and others. I’d like to know how they were done and I just think it would make a great video. Keep up the great work!
The convience that Corridor uploads when I'm bored is amazing!
I love how they always find a way to keep it fun while demonstrating the latest tech. This is how you do it.
love the avetar 3 movie, my favourite moment is the immense breathing underwater at 14:26
Sam repping a Rhapsody shirt is insane. Very based Sam, I love to see it.
I can't believe how good this is.
Really fun to watch!
Hey if the writers and actors stay on strike, there's a nonzero chance this is how the next Avatar looks
Put Jordan on, we need SO much more of this person on screen.
Her energy is contiguous, she instantly makes you happy and smile!
We literally watch every sec of the sponsor, just to get some of her energy.
Sam, you level up the game. Always nice to see Clint in the studio. But, did the navi people actually talked underwater? 😄
You guys are the best. I bet James Cameroon's radar was beeping now.😂
You guys are still pushing. NEVER STOP PUSHING THE LIMIT!.
I love it !
Anime Rock Paper Scissors 2 hype , by the way
The models looked surprisingly good
My God - the improvement from A2 is ASTONISHING! Jesus! 🤯🤯🤯 I think everyone who watched your A2 video must’ve gone in to watching this with an expectation of what the end result was going to be, but hooolllllllyyyy smokes you’ve come a LONG way. Even the stress levels of Sam throughout the process have improved exponentially. Just amazing. 👏👏👏
Love the Rhapsody shirt! That's such a good album
Honestly, for the limited amount of time and effort that went into this, the quality is shockingly good.
James Cameron's been real silent since this dropped
Been waiting for your guys sequel
Incredible quality !
Using AI software, casually announcing a sequel to your most hated vfx project, and using assets from UBISOFT???
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a UA-cam channel do a more sudden heel turn lol
Now I know why James didn't
I love this crossover between Corridor Crew and Cool 3D World!
Clint’s swimming cracked me up. That was so funny to see in the movie. 😂
Sam, you rock. This was a step up from Avetar 2
Considering he did this for free, that's incredibly impressive
I'm grateful for you guys for sharing this knowledge with us and it is a sponsored video but I'm not sure it was great time to put it during the writers and actors strike. This could go both ways. Either the higher ups realizes however Ai is involved you need real people to do the heavy lifting or that they're gonna push for developing Ai more and force it be more involved. This might be dumb comment but anyway great video.
Thank you for the early footage of Avatar 3. I am so hyped for this movie.
Really well done!
Surprisingly good, maybe the voice acting and sound could use some improvements 😅
I think the whole point of James Cameron undewater motion capture is to capture expression of diving underwater.
OMG SAM!!! YOU LIKE RHAPSODY TOOOOOOO!!! Out of all the things I love about you guys, this might be the cherry on the top! You guys are the best
Lol, looks like the actors were on high levels of cocaine with their wide eyes and teeth showing, was the funniest part of the clip. Thank you for the comedy!
This looks like ass. And to use ChatGPT to write their film during the writers strike. Wow.
I'm sorry guys but for some VFX artists who like to criticise the amazing work in the cinema industry, how can you say that THIS is good. I love you guys but let's be honest, this render was not good, the story telling was not good, the animation was not good and the textures were just terrible. You can not consider yourselves as VFX artist with such a low level of quality of your render. And it's really painfull to me to admit that cause I love you guys. But there is a time when we as fans of you must be more realistic.
Woow this is very impressive, I'm glad that you used my blueprint in your amazing video,
Makes me so happy to see Clint back in the studio ❤️
I vote for Corridor to get Weta Digital's contract and half th budget
I think Weta Digital are the digital artist.
Sir, what a terrible idea.
If professionals can make it looks this janky, just imagine how janky it'll look for your next creation!!!
Just started 3 months ago doing cinematic shots with my Bengal, and as a collective, you have inspired me to keep making stuff 😮
The growth from the last version is incredible!
Maybe not the best time to use for a script during a writers strike
Here's my question: If human scientists have the ability to create Avatar versions of the Navi, & the Navi in turn can put a human soul into their Avatar, why not just do this for as many humans as possible to survive on Pandora rather then try to terraform it for humans to live on it? Sure, it would mean giving up humanity to become an alien species, but when Earth is dying & humans can't survive on Pandora, when there is a way for us to adapt to do so just bring as many humans to Pandora as possible & turn them all into Navi.
Because then they aren't humans anymore. They have human minds and memories, but they have Na'vi bodies. And after generations of living on Pandora, those memories will be gone, replaced with memories made on Pandora. People would possibly stop believing themselves to be human, and instead be Na'vi.
If two Navi avatars with human souls reproduce together, would the child have a human soul or a Navi soul?
Lol who cares, why's this the top comment?
@norbertpaternoster The poster of the comment cares, I care, Shadowdragon probably cares. It's not about who cares or not. A question is meant to be asked regardless of other people's opinions.
Most humans would never give up their creature comforts and the idea of not destroying land to make the environment (or lack thereof) how they want would end up ruining Pandora too. The scientists were interested in learning, studying, researching, and connecting with the Navi and the planet. They chose those fields and it's why they're there. Bring a bunch of average everyday Janes and Joes who will likely be xenophobic, even if they did transfer to Navi/Human hybrid bodies, they'd probably be just like they are on Earth with a desire to be seen as special just like on Earth. Everyone is human, but they claim to be "superior" and see non-hybrids as "inferior" just to feel like they're excused to be assholes.
There would have to be serious vetting to ensure those chosen don't have such tendencies, but even they wouldn't be enough to weed out people who would cause problems.
Stellar work folks! Those actors sure do have a wide range of emotions they can show on their faces! Just imagine what you could achieve if you put the time in. You could replace the film industry first, then the UA-camrs, who knows where it will end? I will just sit here and wait for you to make a Colin Furze CGI video where he catapults himself to the moon.
That’s a sick Rhapsody shirt. Love that album!
15 seconds no one can beat me
I’m sure your gf would agree with this statement
@@thewiddler1746DAAAAAYUM
no
@@thewiddler1746 jokes on you I don’t have a girlfriend 🕺🏽
I gasped with the first close up. That was honestly impressing.
Hey guys! Great video!! I Was thinking if you could actually do this but with Oppenheimer. I've seen the film and I thought that THAT nuclear test could've look more impressive, imposing, and even scary with the help of some VFX. I think it didn't deliver the scale they need. But now I can't sleep because I the scene was perfect but I keep thinking maaaaybe it would've look better. LOVE YOU GUYS!!
-Eduardo
....maybe a little tone deaf to release this during the WAG and SAG-AFTRA strikes? When one of the major issues is the use of AI to replace/reduce pay for writers and actors?
Dis looks like a great avatar game
Great work 👏🏾 🎉
3:08 enough, I saw this moment enough now.
Great video as always, but odd time to be doing this with the strikes going on.
Crazy to see how fluid and perfect the face motion capture is insaneeeeee
I love how you guys have fun ❤
Luca Turilli will be pleased to see this! LOL. Nicely done Sam.
Hahaha the anger face she has when getting out the water. Hilarious. 😂
Nice job guys
Always a fan
I wish I got the chance to work with you guyz
The finally rendered face capture is way better than I expected
i actually think thats the first sponsor ive seen for something thats free and doesnt have a promo code. it was kinda refreshing.
Always great to see Clint back
Wow, it's amazing to see how far you come since avetar 2, soon enough we will see you making avetar 4 with james cameron himself!
