    I love it when Captain inserts himself into the shot without mentioning it. It's like he's explaining their editing techniques while simultaneously mocking it. Like a "look what I can do". It's so sarcastically done, I love it.

    I always think it’s so impressive how he manages to place himself in shots, or visually deconstruct scenes when all he has to work with is a shoddy quality compressed internet video. Like he must have to spend ages degrading his recorded footage and dealing with blocky compression artefacts to match the source when a VFX studio (by comparison) would always have the luxury of raw high def footage to work with.

      Jon Shaffer I disagree. As artists, they can learn what not to do from professional mistakes as much as from flawless works. And students shouldn't be taught how to do the bare minimum for their job; they should be taught how to excel and stand out in their field. Whether they want to actually make an extra effort to be the best is up to them, but at least their education should give them the chance. It's what higher education should be about anyways.

    I worked with an ad company once that produced an ad where someone bounced a basketball on his head over and over while taking off shirts that had different messages on them, ending with a shot of him bouncing it into the basket. Know how they faked that? They didn't. According to the director, it only took a few shots. You can hear them all cheering in the ad. They left that in as a sound effect.
    They also produced ads with visual effects, of course. That just wasn't one of them. I worked with a guy who built a motor to spin to Tostitoes chip like a basketball. On that Tostitoes commercial, they also had a continuity specialist come in to re-set the bowl of chips after every take so it looked right. She was adjusting the salsa with a toothpick. I was both impressed and amused.

    • @Just_A_Dude
      @Just_A_Dude 5 років тому +26

      I'd absolutely believe it. They call special effects "movie magic" for a reason, and 90% of pulling off the more mind-boggling effects is doing something in a way so convoluted, and with so much attention to fine detail, that no sane person would ever imagine doing it that way.

    Its a common editing practice to use a command like "wiggle" in after effects to "add life" to a static, or 'locked off', shot. Used subtly it can make a shot a little more visually interesting, used too much and you get a ridiculous motion sickness inducing transformers-esque mess. Of course, its also a powerful tool to hide VFX ;)
