First of I want to congratulate you on the 3rd anniversary of the podcast! I've been listen and watching this since not that long ago but knew about you before finding the podcast, through the Before and Afters articles and Hugo's streams on Nuke. I really enjoy watching you guys talk because I feel like i'm part of these conversations, the shared opinions and some experiences. In this one specially with Hugo talking about video clubes being the norm and Blockbuster coming on the late 90's, and also the behind the scenes documentaries being one of the biggest reasons to be working in this industry. For me it was the behind the fxs of Empire Strikes Back, where it showed the history behind the FXs and the magic in movies and in particular children making movies with clay or household items. It meant not only that movies were made, but also that I could be making them. Then comes the reality of living in a third world country and the complications of having no budget, but we make what we can with what we have jajaja. Thank you guys for all your work!
27:25 this is probably one of the best uses of blue screen I've seen in a movie! The lighting and shadows on Keanu match up perfectly with the background footage, which is of the incredible elevator shaft model! This movie utilized so many great filming techniques like rear projection, matte paintings, miniatures, visual effects, and dangerous stunt work which makes it one of the best action movies ever made! Thanks for this super in-depth and informative podcast about this amazing movie!!
Happy Anniversary guys!....so glad Ian got those wedges, pretty sure I remember hearing that episode of FXGuide podcast where he was told they had been thrown out!
Today mark's 30 year's since SPEED was released here in UK cinemas, I was there opening night and it totally blew me away, my favourite action film of all-time.
Weeeee ^^ I love these retro episodes. Looking at petabytes worth of fluid sims is great and all, but these 20 to 30 year old films in my experience are much closer to the everyday VFX work and hold far more ideas on how to solve a shot than massive LED volumes and the latest and greatest in performance capture. What do you think about doing an episode on how the effects in a somewhat similar environment developed over the years? Thinking of the Batman films from 1989 till today or the Harry Potter series Great podcast, thank you so much for sharing these insights! Greetings from Berlin
haha, I watched it on VHS, 200% pirate version and I loved it! And I watched it several times. Borrow from the near videoteka...and we had to returned the VHSs' rewinded...
That is so true! Even the other day I was watching the new 4K Blu-ray of Star Wars Episode 1 and they removed the old documentaries and behind-the-scenes and replaced them with some generic marking BS. I had to buy the old DVD to have access to the old and more complete BTS. The old ones even included full breakdowns of VFX with the desktop screen and software being shown. The DVDs extra were, as still is, the best source of information.
Congratulations on year 3 of the podcast!
Thank you for educating and entertaining us through the podcast 😊

A very cool idea

I was 21. It was new to us. Sandra was the hottie next door. It was new it was entertaining.
GUYS THIS IS LONGER THAN THE MOVIE :D
But it’s so worth it! Haha
I blame Hugo's rant on the plotholes...
@@beforesmag SPEED: Average movie at best: 5 out of 5! haha
The extras back then were an investment in your audience and not know it.
