Always interesting seeing how they pioneered these effects back in the day, Gives us much more appreciation on how things have gotten easier, cheaper and safer
Suspended disbelieve that's why am superman scene is more convincing than modern productions, despite it being less realistic. The modern scenes are more oriented on the real world, but we know that nobody can run this fast, so it does not work despite more realism.
The whole moving wall and arm prop punching through the windshield is absolutely brilliant. Well done practical effects like this always work so well. The key is "well done".
3:32 sorry I’m being that guy. Reeve, Reeve, Reeve Reeve, NOT Reeves. I don’t know why people call him Reeves but it’s Christopher Reeve - OK- rant over…on with the show. Enjoying your video.
The Superman effects have aged well - they never really looked as convincing as they could have done, but the LIGHTING on the actors helped the illusion... although not convinced, I appreciated the work they put in NOT to break the feel of the movie. I didn't know about the windscreen punch in Terminator...
Saw all the flicks mentioned here (INCLUDING gremlins, and temple) in the theater at the time of release except Terminator and the modern stuff. That was definitely a good year for movies. But I am dating myself
I like this series, but in the case of the Superman, can you show a side-view /diagram of where exactly the parts are in the light path? It's hard to follow a verbal description and external views of the physical rig, as we don't know what is what. Even a hand-drawn diagram is more clear than this. A picture=1000 words.
Was watching the Superman trailer and UA-cam auto-played the next video before I could watch it again...I was annoyed, then I saw that the video was Film Riot, so...
All that blah blah blah blah blah blah about the 78 Superman flying sequences so damn confusing all I know is I've been watching it for 46 years and I love that movie it's like no other ! ....
The matte painting ending from the Terminator is one of my favorite, and probably the most beautiful, endings in film history.
Missed this guys😁

100%. I think it also helps us find what's missing from some modern techniques that aren't landing all the way.

This is the best series. Thank you so much for these episodes.

Knowing that the haze was a guy smoking offscreen made me cackle 😂 Made me glad that films don't have smells.

Maybe because of the name of the Superman of the 1950’s George Reeves.. but that's just a guess.
I can never not. No idea why it’s stuck in my head like that. 🤷♂️

IDK if anyone noticed this before, but Justin looks just like Joseph Seed from Far Cry 5, man!
BTW, amazing video as always.

me: "...yeah, that was my second thought"
A lack of resources requires a surplus of creativity!

Projection is technically correct.
Look up…. No it’s not Superman it’s a new Film Riot video!

Did he just say he's never seen Superman? 🙄

I thought the Shape of Water was SO bad, it made me mad! Del Toro way to overrated as a director.
