Pirates of the Caribbean: the scenes in which the Black Pearl crew passes under moonlight and turn into skeletons. Also the fight with Jack Sparrow and Barbosa, when both become partially skeleton only on the parts of the body that are under moonlight. That was so absolutely well done! Sometimes I feel people forget how well made the Pirates of the Caribean trilogy was
I've been waiting for them to do this one for so long!
Also, they are some of the most expensive movies ever made, so would be interesting to compare their cgi to something cheaper
@@andrewpackham8236 Indeed it would!
Haven't they already made a video talking about that effect?
@@olacolega7067 I want to say it was Davey Crockett.
Andrew Kramer is the reason why I got into After Effects software. He is a legend.
Same
everything started with him
Is that Adobe?
@@gabrielvermund yes
Stfu
Suggestion: the shot from Pirates of The Caribbean 2 where the Kraken smashes the ship in half
Edit: since there’s an actual possibility that the people at Corridor Crew might see this now, I’d love an entire Pirates of The Caribbean centered episode if that’s something you might consider
Also I don't know if they have yet, but harry Potter would be cool
The only cg in that is the Kraken. The ship was split practically with giant tubes dropping on it
@@sadkid15 I know, that’s why I thought it would be interesting to look at
Yes saw it today bro its nice
The whole series they had some great cgi and sfx
District 9 is a MASTERPIECE. I still want a sequel so badly.
ya lol district 10 maybe?
Well, it’s 2023 now and still no sequel :(
6 months after that.
Nothing
@@RKroese i read somewhere, blompkamp said the writing is almost done, but that was long time ago, maybe its in production?
we still waiting, peter jackson is a fucking legend he will do one more master piece I bet
“District 9” cost $30 million and “Jack and Jill” cost $79 million let that sink in
Most of that probably went to the actors, cuz Adam Sandler alone was probably 20+ mil
Adam Sandler doesn't make movies, he just films his vacations.
Half of that budget probably went into Al Pacino doing that Dunkaccino segment.
That is nothing. Paranormal activity had a budget of 15k but made almost 200 mil.
@@mzilber1 You're comparing a film to a money-laundering operation though
If I learned anything it’s that *if you’re constrained by time or budget it’s fine using stock elements.*
Of course it’s fine! That’s what every VFX company does in the world. It’s not cheating to use existing stock elements. But I personally prefer to use them in ways that they aren’t always vanilla and recognizable
That's exactly how websites are made too! You make 1 really good website, and then you reference it and take bits and pieces for years later!
@@Guffy1990 Don’t forget about all the open source npm packages
🆗
@@Guffy1990 yeap, no need to reinvent the wheel for every project
Easily one of the best channels on UA-cam.
Im biased, but I'd love some deconstruction of Spider-Man swinging throughout the movies. Talking about the physics, lighting, and how it's done has evolved.
Also, some fan made Dragonball Z films like Light of Hope and Fall of Men would be awesome.
I literally just finished watching my friend watches mandolorian season 2
Holden dont watch nukie or mac and me they are unwatchable movies 😊📼
@@austinp1522 That's a good series!
Bleep glopp
God yeah reacting to Light of Hope would be amazing.
District 9 creatures were also very realistic for me because of the strands hanging from the mouth, they were so naturally moving. Very dark movie indeed.
One of my favorite movies of all time because of how realistic it is
@@eggsalad3316 ye, not an easy to watch movie, but this was a director cart blanche movie. And it shows
Everyone one of these episodes go by so quick! I get excited for a new one and sad that its over
Wut, did not expect you here! Btw big fan bruv!
So true 😭😭😭
They've shortened them to about 15 min, down from 20+
And they drown the videos with sponsors AND ads.

“There’s no way that’s one project file.” is just so hilarious lmfao
why
@@oldgrub It's funny if you do vfx, or understand how vfx are done. It's because doing that in one project file would absolutely kill your computer, and take SO LONG to render.
Tshirt quote 😆
@@TheFrozenFlame05 not only that, but if the file corrupts your screwed. Which is why saving on multiple different versions (Files) is beneficial.
@@TheFrozenFlame05 Though with bid productions some use render farms to share the load and render things MUCH faster.
The best part about Hollywood overusing CGi is that Corridor Crew will always have plenty of bad & great CGi to react to.
The THX logo used to always scare the shit out of me as a kid
Fuck, the logo’s broken
it’s so ominous bro
Same. Mostly because the first time I saw it was before ET and that movie (particularly the intro) scared the shit out of 5 or 6 year old me. Now I just associate it with ET and how scared that made me feel.
Same, I hated it every time
these episodes could be an hour long I literally wouldn't mind
They real should do some documentary length stuff - a whole series of the history of CGI would be awesome. I smell a crowdfunding project...
Andrew was such a great teacher and inspiration. I owe a lot of my start on UA-cam and my knowledge of After Effects to him. Happy to see you guys collab again!
Nice
When a grid's misaligned with another behind, that's a moiré.
This made me snort laugh
best comment ive read in a long time. bravo
Deserves top comment.
There really is an xkcd for everything
bravo
When district 9 came out I think I was in middle school still and I was like "this is the pinnacle of CG in movies", for how mind blowingly real it looked. I remember thinking it was all uphill from here, yet I don't think any of thing recent has lived up to it (maybe the mandalorian?). Marvel movies are good, but still look so cartoony by comparison.
yeah especially the marvel films.
True
The camera movement in District 9, reacting to the aliens movement in a very realistic way is also a big reason why it looks so good.
"Andrew... basically taught everyone how to do visual effects"
I think that's pretty accurate 🤣🤣🤣
Normal people reacting to bad TV CGi: Ew, WTF?
VFX Artists: Understandable✌️
most people fail to realize how low the budget and time constraints are for those. in reality some go a little too ambitious. Some with HUGE budgets like Game of Thrones still look movie quality.
they have more understanding
I give cheap and lazy effects shit but sometimes it's not even the VFX Artist fault. The the producer or director can come in and say "I want this monster for this much time, and this much money." And the VFX Artist's job to try and do it under those constraints.
Suggestion: Men in Black - 1997 - "Edgar" pulling his face back and saying: "There, is that better?"
District 9 was such an awesome movie. The vfx sold me as a viewer and I was so emotionally invested in the story. Still one of my favorite movies to this day.
There's this Norwegian indie horror film called Trollhunter, which has some really nice creature effects! It would be really cool to see it broken down!
Duuuude yes!
I watched that here in China with some girls from work who became convinced it was real - either that's some amazing VFX, or some dumbass co-workers :-)
@@rhymingreason yeah, It really is well done.... To me, in terms of plot and execution, it might be the best found footage film I've ever seen, and really well done for such a low budget!
TROOOOOOOOOOOLL!
Love this movie!
Most annoying overused element to me: the sound of rusted metal squeak when opening any gate or metal door.
Or that one metal bang sound that I mostly remember from Half-Life 2. I swear I hear it everywhere.
That generic group of children laughing sound effect drives me crazy
Darth Biomech i think i heard that exact one in happy wheels as well
Thought you were going to say the metal scrape noise that happens every time someone unsheathes a sword
@@ZachBobBob yes i actually hate that so much
Got straight up butterflies when i saw they were going to talk about District 9. One of my all time favorite movies.
Seeing the zoom out from inside the THX along with hearing the sound, and how the sound kicked up once you could tell that you were looking at a THX made it feel like a smash reveal or something, and it gave me chills.
Suggestion: The black lake scene from Harry potter and the Goblet of Fire.
(Maybe do whole episode on Harry Potter like you did for LOTR and Star Wars)
“Legend of The Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole” directed by Zack Snyder, 2010, day 17.
Very interesting project, as I recall the house that worked on that (Animal Logic) didn't do animated films at the time, they were a VFX company and only made one animated feature before (the first Happy Feet). You can really tell by the photoreal feel of the camera design, lighting and materials in the movie. Or at least, as photoreal as a Zack Snyder movie is likely to be.
Underrated movie
Yessss please
Yes yes and yes
yes
Yep. I remember when I used to watch Andrew Kramer's vfx tutorials for After Effects. That was just one part of my creative journey as a teenager. Now I"ve explored my true creative calling as sound designer and composer since 2013
Am I the only one that always got goosebumps from the THX intro in the theaters?
Literally review the entire series of Hannibal. They tuned cannibalism and murder into art lol with tons of effects throughout that melt your brain
Best looking TV Show ever!
Legitimately stunning - so refined!
To me that adds so much to the deliberateness of his actions & how disturbed he truly is that everything else is in its place.
Thank you! I've also been commenting on this series with Hannibal requests. Mason's face, or the blood eagles... honestly anything!
Horrifying series. I love it! I particularly loved the whole time-lapse reconstruction / deconstruction of the grisly murder trophies.
8:57 that was an EVE online warpgate if I remember correctly
goat
Does look like a Caldari jumpgate. (you warp with your ship alone, you jump with the gates)
what is virtual riot doing here, this isn't disculpe records
Ayo... What the fuck
It's the real Virtual Riot?
Wtf this isn't virtual riot yoink tutorial.exe
I want to see more episodes with Andrew, that guy is a legend
District 9 is so underrated... it NEEDS a sequel
Better not, it's perfect, they will ruin everything.
@@guilherme5094 I agree with you
Ye district 10
Yeah if they made a sequel it would ruin it. There are some things that are sacred and Hollywood has ruined a lot of them.
Nah. It’s been 12 years. Movie is done.
You guys should definitely react to “Love Death + Robots”
They already have I'm pretty sure
You said you would guys! Still waiting for that review
Definitely +1
I feel like the Andrew Kramer episodes are special because he’s also trying to teach people and he’s not “just” and industry professional but he’s also trying to show the audience things
Andrew Kramer: calls me out for watching his THX piece on my phone.
Me: Shuts down the UA-cam app on the phone and rewatches the whole thing on the PC with decent headphones.
@@Gamerman2077 Don't tell Corridor but in my world - it counts ;)
I turn on the video and the first thing I see is Hulk Sized Peter Burping...
lol
Haha yeah it looked a bit weird.
lol
Andrew Kramer merece un premio Nobel, le dió de comer por años a miles de artistas VFX en el mundo.
UA-cam is getting real comfortable with those unskippable double ads
I hate them lol
Heres a tip to avoid ads in the video. Skip to the end, and hit replay. It gets rid of all the ads
@@kyle45887 yanno I actually knew about that tip and forgot about it haha thank you for reminding me
I actually find premium to be great value.
@@kyle45887 You just gave UA-cam's executives some ideas.
When recommendation is faster then notificiation
Seems to happen a lot for me
@@k1ngk4gl3 LOL it is
valar morghulis
Than*
VFX is easy. Its like riding a bike except the bike hasn't rendered yet.
Suggestion: Sam Raimi's "Spider man 2", the scene where Dr. Oct kidnaps MJ.
I remember the part the car is thrown into the window and the tire runs over Peter's face was in the trailer, and it was slower than on the actual movie for some reason.
@@carlosfer2201 u
Goh wow
ua-cam.com/video/0AcMp9JJ8q0/v-deo.html
oh yes
Andrew Kramer is the best, the stuff this guy has done with After Effects is insane.
The THX thing always scared me as a kid. I couldn't have been the only one.
I haven't thought about district 9 for sooo long. I am definitely going to watch it again this weekend. it's an amazing movie.
New video idea: Overused visual effects elements in movies and tv.
i like this idea
When two patterns combine
In a way serpentine,
That's a moire...
Took me a minute, but once I got it I laughed out loud 😂
@@joshkappel6358 me too
The first guy that looks like hulk what feels weird it’s that his movement aren’t heavy everything feels light and with no power
They mentioned weight off-hand when talking about the District 9 CG afterward, but that's definitely one of the main problems with the hulk. Again, like they said, they were probably working under time constraints and you can't necessarily blame the artist. Good CG comes from communication between everyone involved about what's doable under different constraints
He also never fully unbends his elbows which makes him look like a rubber action figure
I think also re: the arms, the whole body moves and then stops at the same time, which isn't how it works in real life; in reality the body will stop, and even under tension the arms (in particular the shoulders) will keep moving for another fraction of a second before they stop as well. Pacific Rim is a great example of this; every time one of the robots stops moving suddenly all the metal plates on the body sag as they decelerate just a fraction of a second later.
@@HimanXK Stretch Armstrong is what came to mind watching that clip.
He reminds me of those rubber punching dummies but with arms
Video Copilot helped so many vfx students and artists back then, and made After Effcts really known to many aspiring video editors/vfx artists. Without him, I am not what I am now.
"Moiré" is French. In English the closest pronounciation would be "mwah-ray".
I'm sure you're french, but according to IPA it's [mwaˈʀe], and "ray" has kind of an "i" sound in the end that's not in the IPA pronunciation, right?
@@athmaid IPA is absolutely correct, that's why I said " in English the *closest* pronunciation would be". Most French words ending in "é" are pronounced "ay" in English. This one is no exception. E.g. soirée, fiancé, cliché, risqué, etc. ;)
Also, when I explain to English speakers how to pronounce the French R, I tell them it's like the Mexican J in mojito, fajita. Seems to help.
[insert "That's Amore" joke here]
@@rondidju Interesting trick, thanks. ;) They are indeed quite close on the IPA chart.
They should definitely look at the warcraft movie, someone reminded that movie exists
Or the WoW cinematics! I remember having my mind absolutely blown by the WotLK one when it came out. I can still vividly picture the fur on his boots and him wiping the snow away.
@@Bryanfuel0 yes same here!!!
i remember them talking about the fur physics in warcraft in an early episode but i could be wrong
*Suggestion:* Litterally any episode of "Love death and robots"
They talked about one I think already, "The Witness". I could be wrong tho.
@ link pls
@ yes link please
@ They definitely did Shape-Shifters.
(The werewolf one)
@Hai Voai Wrong link bud
I would really like it if these guys could do a bit of the movie "9" it's such a odd animated movie with some interesting character designs
Man that movie was so freaky.
Thank you for reminding me of the utter masterpiece that District 9 is.
React to the final episode of “Westworld” season 1(opening scene): were Dolores wakes up. Right after Arnold activates her.
CGI is amazing. Seamless.
You guys should do Men in black and other aliens CGI
Aren't pretty much 80% of the aliens in MIB actually practical courtesy of Rick Baker?
@@goji253 I really don't know 😅
Yes! Yes! Especially in first MIB movie, CG is still holds up damn well.
@@nickcollins9893 Because most of it was practical
ua-cam.com/video/T-rDAMQH2i4/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/AI0XwnY-vvQ/v-deo.html
I totally would want to see the guys talk about it, but it's clearly a lot less "CG" then some of you might think.
District 9 was the best example of using your budget widely. Many scenes filled in with CCTV footage. From what I understand, costing a tiny fraction of normal movie film. Very clever as it worked.
Holy shit Andrew's arms are jacked af
his legs tho😭😭
You should check out Constantine with Keanu Reeves. They have that scene where she falls through the glass ceiling that is absolutely gorgeous. Dark but gorgeous
Saturday mornings when I was a kid: Cartoons and video games
Saturday mornings as an adult: Corridor!
“Legend of The Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole” directed by Zack Snyder, 2010, day 26. I’M STILL HERE MOVIE LOVERS.
Fist Blu-ray movie I purchased was District 9. That movie I could never got bore watching it. Love the storytelling.
To bad we might never see the sequel.
District 9 was astonishingly well done, made even more impressive when you consider that the entire movie was made with a budget of only $30mil.
District 9 is one of those movies I think everyone in the world should watch.
Nikos reactions at Andrew's THX video is so awesome. You can tell he really loves what he does
the thx shit scared me as a kid damn it but 2019 is freaking sweet
As soon as I saw the opening clip being my favorite show Legends of Tomorrow I knew this was gonna be good
When did Andrew get JACKED?! Lol
probably Special Effects =)))
just his top half lmal
I noticed that too. Must've been hittin the weights during stay at homes
Hi, im David from Slovenia. Andrew "helped me" get a job on TV and I did animations and graphic backgrounds for live shows. Love the guy!
I would like you to take into consideration an intentional director that might interpret the janky or budget wise constrainted animation as ESPECIALLY jarring or weird.
My man also loves some VFX
Crazy lol
wtf lol virtual riot droppin 3 comments
District 9 left a long impression on me. I still recommend this movie to anyone who asks my recommendation.
Wow it's so weird to think how a lot of VFX industry is hinged on one person's work. Very reminiscent of how it works in software industries.
I really enjoyed District 9 when it came out, but back then I didn't properly appreciate the VFX, and how they somehow made insectoid aliens feel like real, sympathetic people, not just with VFX but in other ways as well. It's only recently that I've been looking at that movie with new eyes and realizing what an achievement it is on multiple levels.
"So... there's no way that's one project file"
I laughed my ass off at this.
My whole life I’ve loved district 9, glad to finally see it get some love 🥺
A new action essentials is coming?? 👀👀👀
Oh yeah, we caught that real quick.
What me tech121 video like equal to money
I remember District 9 scarring me for life. The VFX looks so real
That THX intro was awesome.
program a blood splatter generator
hello virtual riot, energy drink still rocks
@Zu Su stop spamming crap
Lol it's interesting, cause you're just another human like the rest of us. But for some reason, people don't expect a successful music artist to comment on just any youtube video. Also, hi
“Legends of Tomorrow” and “The Flash” always have their ups and downs when it comes to CGI.
Those scenes in this episode are spoilers and it looks like there will be a cross over event next season.
@@orlock20 Those scenes were from Legends Season 2
@@orlock20 yeah that’s an old ass episode
@@andrewp.stewart4585 Oh, I thought it was the new Star Girl cast and the next season is about an Alien abduction of Sarah.
@@orlock20 i saw star girl too wtf is going on with that, did i miss an episode or something
Hearing that THX noise brought back memories I didn’t know even know I had
District 9 after 12 years still looks amazing.
Yall should talk about the show Raised By Wolves - brutal surreal stuff I’d love to understand the BTS of
Wow! I had the same feelings when hearing Andrew Kramer's voice on After effects tutorials! Glad to watch this episode!!
I will never stop seeing that blood X now
It will only enhance my movie watching experience
Love you guys. This is my favorite series
D
Ocs
"Gutsy to do a full CG character in a TV series knowing the limitations."
This is like how you'd describe a purple-themed home interior as "bold," it's a polite way to say awful.
Blomkamp’s district 9 is still top ten for overall VFX. Left me wanting a sequel
Hats off to vfx artists man. District 9 is my favorite movie mostly because of the vfx in it. Amazing 👏
That THX logo use to get my anxiety going as a kid. My heart rate spiked just seeing the logo 😅
You guys really need to look at the ODM scenes from Attack on Titans
The HBO thing was so hype when I was a kid. Friday night, 8pm, whatever movie you missed last summer, here it is, kid. NEER NEER NEER, nah NEER, nah NEER NEER NEER!
Also the first time I saw/heard the THX thing in the theater, the theater had the volume up like twice as high as it should be, so after the swell, there's this dead silence in the theater, and all you hear was my friend James say in a dry baritone: "The audience is now deaf." And we all missed the opening credits from the laughter.
Agents of SHIELD’s Ghost Rider vs the Ghost Rider movies
the majority of the guys from the studio and guests are just so handsome... i cant
I'm sorry, did my Boi Andrew just reveal an Action Essentials 3 and no one is talking about it?!
He teased it with some clips over 2 years ago and never mentioned it again until now.
Eminem - Godzilla for shure
Up
its so basic tho
I think it is sure
@CS Heartless I just replied to the comment so it can be more seen, kind of "upvoting", you know
Shure
Suggestion: 'the spiderwick chronicles' it has a lot of really cool CG creatures.
Underrated movie.
I had totally forgot about that lol.
Suggestion: how about the scene in DOCTOR SLEEP where the lady astral projects into the little girls room...I thought that was such a cool scene
I really like how they give us 30s in the begining to assume our most comfortable stance before we start watching the video in the form of highlights of the episode...
