I really appreciate Niko guiding this video because (im assuming) Niko knows a lot of this tech, knows a lot of what Peter did, and is asking good, pointed questions to help get a good and full explanation of the process and the tools used
That's the beautiful thing about Niko and the Corridor peoples! They are all so knowledgeable but they humble themselves and think of everything they do from the viewers perspective! It's what makes their react videos so good, because they could go into so much detail and talk way over a laymen’s (me) head, but the average viewer walks away gaining more knowledge as well as being entertained!
@@hiiambarney4489 I define talent as someone's innate ability to learn or pick up a skill. While I don't think talent gets you very far without study, learning, and hard work, it is something. Peter is very skilled to be sure, but there could be some talent there too. I've known way too many people who put in hundreds of hours into one thing, trying different methods to learn and be taught by others, only for them to be terrible at it. They needed some talent and didn't have any.
I'd love to see Peter's video be reviewed by the veteran VFX artists in VFX Artist react. Just casually show the video to the vets (like Kelly Port and Joe Farrel) without any context that it was made by one of the Crew and then see their reaction. Meanwhile, have Peter just be working behind the couch just eavesdropping.
I think that'd be awesome to get a genuine reaction from a vet, but also I bet they'd feel like they're tooting their own horns a bit too much. But then again it IS their own channel, might as well toot that horn every once in a while especially when they're really proud of something.
@@hangry3102 they could do a VFX industry pro reacts to independent creators or something. And have submissions from amateurs and small non-hollywood creators. It would be a great way to get some positive attention for non-household names.
This is astonishing. The amount of work that goes into even a short film is just amazing. The tech is realllllllyyy cool, but kudos to Peter for your patience and perseverance. This is really high quality work
I think it's more that Niko knows that Peter is a great artist and while Corridor does amazing effects, it's not the best studio and I honestly think Niko wants Peter to go as far as he can with his talents. Peter could work for a big company like Weta or ILM within the next 5-10 years if he wanted. Maybe even sooner. Peter is extremely talented, despite his age and could probably work at any place he wants. Right now though, Corridor gives him freedom and fun, which is kinda rare. All in all, huge respect to Niko and Corridor.
@@magnusbjarni ILM and Weta employ literally thousands of people - thousands of very talented people but not _singular_ talents, who work on one shot for weeks or months at a time. I think most people at Corridor ar at basic Weta/ILM level, where they could be functional cogs in these giant machines, but it really sounds like drudgery and a tough grind. Could be that Peter has the chops to work his way up in that kind of company, to eventually become a supervisor, but that could be years of his life doing mind-numbing repetitive tasks... I don't know if that is the dream.
@@magnusbjarni Honestly staying at Corridor is probably the best choice in this case, working at WETA or ILM basically means you will work at 1 shot for months and won't have any creative freedom. no artist wants that, corridor is one of the very few studio that actually lets the employes do their own stuff full time.
@@TallSilhouette agreed. He is clearly able to direct, shoot and even write, and is a master of visual effects, so it would be awesome if he got a decent budget to make a film. Especially if he includes some of the weird comedy he does
Peter is a literal VFX genius. He's gonna be on the VFX Artists React couch one day as the guest talking about some big summer blockbuster movie he worked on.
Peter’s greatest hurdle is that his creativity is too big for his productivity. He tends to underestimate the time he needs to accomplish what his brain thinks up. No doubt Peter will be working on a major project within the next 5 years.
He's definitely going to end up as the VFX Director of some big studio like Weta or ILM. It's not going to be immediately but I'd be shocked if those studios aren't watching him in anticipation.
Idk if I agree completely, in some of the challenge videos his work goes above and beyond what the challenge even asks for. I think when he puts the time in like Scooty he really hammers in and focuses on the small details. I do agree we will most likely see him on a major project, no doubt!
I love niko so much because you can feel his passion for filmmaking in every single videos he's in. And I loved that he had to be the one walking us through Peter's talent on this. Love love love these two people
Videos like that are very needed - the whole process explained, the most important bits are here, so new vfx artist would knew how to go around the whole process, even if he doesnt have the skill required yet and time to do something that long and impressive. Its a great, informative video! Thanky You guys for sharing this with us!
Missed seeing Peter more consistently..but this project he’s done is incredible and shows his dedication and love for his craft (just like everyone at corridor). Well done!
I am so glad that y’all chose to execute this bts in a serious and educational way instead of tossing in gags and making it more “vlog” style or something distracting. It was a pleasure to watch and just absorb all the creativity Peter displays :)
this shows the how VFX nowadays is much more accessable than ever before. there are many free tools out there that allows people to make incredible suff. Peter is a very talented artist and can't wait to see more of him and the future of corridor.
I honestly don't think these guys are fully aware of the impact their having on the industry and upcoming talent. One day we're all gonna be like "I can't believe they started out on UA-cam"
@@chrundlethegreat2251 they aren’t really changing the industry though. The tools they use to make these are created by actual VFX company’s. They are the ones pushing the boundary’s of VFX - creating new tools for water simulations, for 3D scanning, etc Not knocking corridor but they aren’t as influential is you think
@@Herzyyyy That's true for almost any tech-related field dude... Something something "Standing on the shoulders of giants." lol Demystifying the craft and getting more people interested in actually using the tools is still a huge impact for the industry. I doubt anyone is going to complain about a bigger and more passionate talent pool.
@@Herzyyyy It's not so much about the groundbreaking effects or breakthrough software. It's how much they're influencing the next generation of people to try their hand at VFX. They're inspiring so many people who would have otherwise thought it was an impossibility for them to be able to get into the craft. They're also bringing a lot of attention on the work that goes into VFX to people who otherwise thought VFX were just as simple as pushing a few buttons and everything is done. Credit where credit is due, they're having a major impact on the industry by making these videos.
@@Herzyyyy I'm not talking about a development perspective here dude. They are slowly influencing the way professional VFX artists and stunt coordinators approach shots with these breakdowns they do. There has never been a platform explaining to average joes (and movie ticket buyers) how our perception of these concepts are influenced. If they can have Mark Hamill take note and give back some crit of his own, you know your work is reaching places. Seems like you are one of the few not seeing the wide reaching effects of their input in the industry. They are changing it for sure. Not how you ASSUMED, but they damn sure are making waves.
Peter: I spent 3 years of work, to produce a quality experience. Also Peter: Our Actor uses a Wig that he found in a Dumpster. Also Peter: Our Prop guy was from the Same Dumpster, he paints carboard boxes he finds, instead of making them out of wood.
Honestly this is one of my favorite videos you guys ever did I know it's less accesible for a larger audience, but I can really appreciate these techincal details
Peter is without a doubt the MVP over at Corridor. Doesn't happen much but sometimes there are shots that some of the Corridor guys do that I don't really think look that good however every single thing Peter has worked has been a masterpiece.
@@ChaossX77 you gotta understand that the scenes from movies that they recreate (Terminator 2/Jurassic Park etc.) are them doing the effect only once and doing it in a few days. It's just the first pass of it. When they did them in those movies, it was months of work and refinement over and over to get them perfect. If the goal of Corridor was to create the effect the movie, they could do it. If the goal is to get a video out at the end of the week about the process, even ILM would struggle to have a perfect effect...
@@ThatBrendonGuy I totally understand stand but they go on and say they did it better than the movie or Disney or whatever in the thumbnail and video sometimes. That's the only thing I take issue with.
the technology behind the 3d renders with photogrammetry is amazing. Working a lot with it myself right now, specifically to make the models made with it as photorealistic so you dont have to model anything for the scene really. its awesome
This is an incredible video that makes me realize 1) how very talented Peter is and 2) how much I really don't know about VFX and its programs. Maybe not so much your thing, but I'd love to see the Corridor Crew do 101/Intro style videos for each of their primary programs. I know there are lots of channels with videos like that, but I respect everyone's knowledge and love your charisma so much
Not even mentioned how great the CG elements look, there are so many shots in this film that I had no idea we’re fully CG. That’s how good they look, Peter is incredibly talented.
This is by far the most educational video I have seen from you guys. Constantly breaking down how exactly Peter did something as well as the bonus of what resources he used. Thank you so much for this episode, I am keen to start producing and creating more things now
ive been watching since before peters time, and watching him go from a cloned intern, to a loveable member of the cast, and now completing a film that hes been working on for years feels like a really strange proud father moment
Well done amazing job. In regards to getting HDR images more accurate. I would suggest using a ricoh theta 360 cam, import the separate exposures into photoshop using the hdr importer and save as an exr or radiance
Peter is so goddamn talented. Literally blows every other corridor member out of the water.. Which says alot considering everybody at corridor is insanely talented
They're not even that good. Why are they working at a low-level UA-cam channel and not doing high end CGI for one of the big Hollywood studios if they're so "talented"...?
@@Roipav this is such a hater ass comment. It definitely takes talent to be a professional that can make a living from VFX. You don’t have to be in Hollywood to be amazing at what you do.

I love how it feels like a kid's presentation and the proud parent asks all the right questions, so the kid can explain all the work that went into the project.
I love seeing Peter take all the things Corridor and the guests on the Couch have used over the years and applying them, showing how much this channel has become a resource for the next generation of filmmakers.
This is the kind of internet content that restores my faith in humanity a little bit. There are a LOT of people who share their knowledge and expertise freely - free tutorials, AMAs, videos like this etc. It's not only the physical tools for film making (and game making, writing, illustrating) that are becoming more accessible, it's knowledge as well. Anyone with an internet connection can learn how to do pretty much anything. This is knowledge that used to be closely, jealously held industry secrets. As a teacher, I find people like the Corridor Crew enormously inspiring.
I love how Peter looks so much more adult since he started but is still this mega goofball with bonkers ideas that he works his butt off to make happen.
For making HDRIs, you can buy almost any 360 camera, but make sure it can do either exposure bracketing, or has manual settings. I've been doing HDRIs on-set for over 5 years now, works like a charm!
Peter is so good, every question was answered so delicately and intellectually. I love how you all explain your work in a way that someone like I who knows nothing can understand.
The difference between someone like Peter and someone like me is that when I start a project I have a tendency to give up on it halfway through. I don't think at any point in my life I would have the dedication to spend 3 years working on the same short film. I always just try to get everything exactly optimal the first time and if it doesn't work out I scrap the idea and try and take those lessons into the new project. I used to think this was a good philosophy, but lately after watching a lot of these videos I've realized how many potential gold mines I've missed out on, not because they would have been amazing outstanding short films, but because I cheated myself out of the opportunity to learn and grow through those experiences. I know nobody's here to listen to my life story, but I just wanted to say thank you to Peter and the corridor crew for helping me realize this pitfall in my own creative process and giving me the courage to actually pursue things to completion.
The work Peter does is just absolutely insane. Not letting any budget or time get in the way. Doing what he wants to accomplish creatively it’s amazing
Wow, Peter you have some incredible skill. I watched Scooby first and loved the story, the characters... just the whole production and the way it was put together. That’s what is missing from some movies, everything fitting together so well that you don’t even notice things like props not staying the right shape because you’re caught up in the experience. Can’t wait to see more from you.
Very cool Most people don't know, the computer doesn't automate the work, it is only a very complex tool. The nerd in front of the screen go through a very complex and time-consuming process. Great work - congrats !
Why not just hire Natalie to do the box? She made such amaxing props in the past a box like that can be so easy. Definitely the only thing that really stood out to me about the film. Great job, this must be a big releifto finally have it out!
Peter is amazing and it’s amazing to see how far he’s come. Truly incredible stuff. I am critical of the title of this video though. I know you’re trying to get some clicks with a spicy title but I feel like it devalues the work of CGI artists who are already underpaid and overworked.
I have a school project, and this video just let me know essentially everything I need for editting it. Wonderfully timed, and amazingly inspiration and informative.
Gdamn Peter has shown unimaginable growth since his addition to corridor and I’ve seen him set an almost impossible goal for every animation/vfx challenge then understand to be able to set more achievable goals and then learn to be so efficient and disciplined enough to make a whole short film with this level of amazing shots. Bravo Peter.
Peter outshines everyone else in every single video. I'm not sure why he was able to get so much better than everyone else, he must have true passion for this work, it is amazing.
I've been a fan of Ian Hubert's work for a very long time, but what Peter has achieved here is mind boggling. I still can't believe the quality of work that's been delivered. Many of us may have heard of 10X and 100X engineers, Peter is very easily a 100X visual effects artist. We're getting to witness the work of a master here!
Everything Peter does is just mindblowing! This is a project that would've taken a whole VFX team to make, but he somehow did it on his own, just... wow!
There's maybe a handful (so less than 5) shots where the CG character doesn't blend in. For a film made by one guy, for a indie work, this was INCREDIBLE to watch! For 95% of it the character looked like he was literally there in the scene. Great job!
I can definitively say there is FAR more value in Scooty being up on the Corridor channel than if it had just been shown in school. Peter made the right choice dropping out, I remember being super bummed when he said he was leaving for school because nobody in VFX or most areas of art cares about what degree you have. It's all about your portfolio in the real world. The best thing school can give you is the fundamentals, and networking. Both things Peter can get with Corridor.
I love how Niko is like master oogway in this video, he knows all the answers to the questions he asks Peter and is proud watching how well he's developed as a VFX artist. props to you both
Peter is going to have a massive impact on the landscape of filmmaking in the near future, I guarantee that! Such young talent that gets noticeably better on each project he's apart of. Truly excited to continue watching him level up.
Good job Peter. The time, effort, and execution culminated in a fantastic end product. Also -- Good job Niko for being a great VFX educator and facilitator.
Peter again has displayed not only his incredible talent but also his tenacity to get his passion projects done. Really inspired me to try out Blender and now I'm slowly learning the nooks and crannies of what I can do with it. Both insanely fun and frustrating lol
Jeezus the way you have the camera mounted is scaring the shit out of me. No tie no nothing. You are truly a mans man. I would have been to scared to use that thing lol! The video is great, its so sick to get to see a play by play. You are a legend!
Peter, you are an inspiration man! Been using Blender for years and seeing what you achieved with this is just amazing 🤘 hoorah for accessible vfx tools for mind-blowing storytelling!
I find these sorts of videos fascinating. Something I'd love to see is a rundown of what CD's folks think an "essential" VFX software kit looks like. As a tinkerer/hobbyist, the pricing of some of the tools seems out-of-range, while others (like Blender) are free.
+1 for the Jake in Motion screen time at 13:59. Jake knows effects better than anyone and I would love to see him on a future challenge episode like another Iron Chef that series continues.
Incredible talent. I look forward to when tech can compete with all his wacky and over-the-top ideas and he doesn't feel like he's bitten way more than he can chew. Wahoo Peter :)
So happy to be able to call how you did the shot where he hangs on the plane! As a complete novice of vfx and cgi I’m actually learning from this channel lol good job guys!
Peter has been such an incredible addition to Corridor, this man’s talent knows no bounds.

There is no such thing as talent. Pure effort, hard work and a lot of learning / trying stuff.

Anyone with an internet connection can learn how to do pretty much anything. This is knowledge that used to be closely, jealously held industry secrets.
As a teacher, I find people like the Corridor Crew enormously inspiring.
I love how Peter looks so much more adult since he started but is still this mega goofball with bonkers ideas that he works his butt off to make happen.
Peter, you absolute legend. Such a labor of love. Thanks for sharing and great short movie man!
For making HDRIs, you can buy almost any 360 camera, but make sure it can do either exposure bracketing, or has manual settings. I've been doing HDRIs on-set for over 5 years now, works like a charm!
Peter is so good, every question was answered so delicately and intellectually. I love how you all explain your work in a way that someone like I who knows nothing can understand.
Peter just took the entire indie film community to the next level! Thank you for sharing.
The difference between someone like Peter and someone like me is that when I start a project I have a tendency to give up on it halfway through. I don't think at any point in my life I would have the dedication to spend 3 years working on the same short film. I always just try to get everything exactly optimal the first time and if it doesn't work out I scrap the idea and try and take those lessons into the new project. I used to think this was a good philosophy, but lately after watching a lot of these videos I've realized how many potential gold mines I've missed out on, not because they would have been amazing outstanding short films, but because I cheated myself out of the opportunity to learn and grow through those experiences. I know nobody's here to listen to my life story, but I just wanted to say thank you to Peter and the corridor crew for helping me realize this pitfall in my own creative process and giving me the courage to actually pursue things to completion.
Peter single-handedly slaying Shutterstock's business right here 18:01😳
Good. $300 for a video clip is kinda crazy. Haha
The work Peter does is just absolutely insane. Not letting any budget or time get in the way. Doing what he wants to accomplish creatively it’s amazing
Peter is just simply an amazing guy with an incredible talent and skill level. 👏🏻 amazing short film
Insane work. Having the knowledge of the whole pipeline makes someone so valuable for a vfx studio. Well done Peter!
Can't believe Peter made this alone, during and after the pandemic, all while working a job.
I need to take a page out of his book!
Peter is a machine!
Wow, Peter you have some incredible skill. I watched Scooby first and loved the story, the characters... just the whole production and the way it was put together.
That’s what is missing from some movies, everything fitting together so well that you don’t even notice things like props not staying the right shape because you’re caught up in the experience.
Can’t wait to see more from you.
You guys are such an inspiration. Thanks for the awesome videos.
Very cool
Most people don't know, the computer doesn't automate the work, it is only a very complex tool. The nerd in front of the screen go through a very complex and time-consuming process.
Great work - congrats !
Why not just hire Natalie to do the box? She made such amaxing props in the past a box like that can be so easy. Definitely the only thing that really stood out to me about the film. Great job, this must be a big releifto finally have it out!
He never said the prop was bad, just that it was overused. So it started to fall apart
My friends and I really enjoy this channel. We all got our own fav segments but we all agree the best crew member is Peter.
Peter is amazing and it’s amazing to see how far he’s come. Truly incredible stuff.
I am critical of the title of this video though. I know you’re trying to get some clicks with a spicy title but I feel like it devalues the work of CGI artists who are already underpaid and overworked.
I have a school project, and this video just let me know essentially everything I need for editting it. Wonderfully timed, and amazingly inspiration and informative.
Peter é foda pra caralho! 💖✨💫
Gdamn Peter has shown unimaginable growth since his addition to corridor and I’ve seen him set an almost impossible goal for every animation/vfx challenge then understand to be able to set more achievable goals and then learn to be so efficient and disciplined enough to make a whole short film with this level of amazing shots. Bravo Peter.
Hello My friends . My dream is to be like you 😌❤️
Mine tooo 😁
Exactly 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Peter outshines everyone else in every single video. I'm not sure why he was able to get so much better than everyone else, he must have true passion for this work, it is amazing.
Peter is a once-in-a-generation type of talent. Corridor are so privileged to have him on board
This is easily a $300,000 production level movie. Dude you are insanely good at what you do
I've been a fan of Ian Hubert's work for a very long time, but what Peter has achieved here is mind boggling. I still can't believe the quality of work that's been delivered. Many of us may have heard of 10X and 100X engineers, Peter is very easily a 100X visual effects artist. We're getting to witness the work of a master here!
Everything Peter does is just mindblowing! This is a project that would've taken a whole VFX team to make, but he somehow did it on his own, just... wow!
There's maybe a handful (so less than 5) shots where the CG character doesn't blend in. For a film made by one guy, for a indie work, this was INCREDIBLE to watch! For 95% of it the character looked like he was literally there in the scene.
Great job!
I can definitively say there is FAR more value in Scooty being up on the Corridor channel than if it had just been shown in school. Peter made the right choice dropping out, I remember being super bummed when he said he was leaving for school because nobody in VFX or most areas of art cares about what degree you have. It's all about your portfolio in the real world. The best thing school can give you is the fundamentals, and networking. Both things Peter can get with Corridor.
I love how happy Niko looks for Peter @0:57
I love how Niko is like master oogway in this video, he knows all the answers to the questions he asks Peter and is proud watching how well he's developed as a VFX artist. props to you both
Truly motivational for us 3D animator/artist types seeking for ways to create our content. I love that he did much of his VFX work on Blender.
So proud of Peter's evolution as a film maker and fx artist over these past years.
SO MANY TIPS IN THIS VIDEO.
Peter is an amazing CGI artist and compositor. Keep it up bud!
5:23 wait so that shot Peter did the head explosion on was for this wow this really has taken an long time and it shows!
Peter is going to have a massive impact on the landscape of filmmaking in the near future, I guarantee that! Such young talent that gets noticeably better on each project he's apart of. Truly excited to continue watching him level up.
Good job Peter. The time, effort, and execution culminated in a fantastic end product. Also -- Good job Niko for being a great VFX educator and facilitator.
Buying 720p stock footage for cheaper and then upscaling it is absolutely hilarious. Love it.
Not sure if you fully get it,
but staff like this can inspire the whole generation of new fx masters and filmmakers.
Bravo, Peter!
Peter again has displayed not only his incredible talent but also his tenacity to get his passion projects done. Really inspired me to try out Blender and now I'm slowly learning the nooks and crannies of what I can do with it. Both insanely fun and frustrating lol
My favourite shot of the entire thing was as he flew through the air off the car reaching for the plane. So well done!
Jeezus the way you have the camera mounted is scaring the shit out of me. No tie no nothing. You are truly a mans man. I would have been to scared to use that thing lol! The video is great, its so sick to get to see a play by play. You are a legend!
TNice tutorials is actually a very good and straight forward tutorial. No having ask questions or guess, no over-explaining elents, and brings
"I dropped out of college"
Man, you don't need college. Superb work.
phD project in a nut-shell. This was an epic adventure.
Peter, you are an inspiration man! Been using Blender for years and seeing what you achieved with this is just amazing 🤘 hoorah for accessible vfx tools for mind-blowing storytelling!
The short was incredible and Scooty looked amazing Peter!
0:59 my heart can't handle the pride in Niko's eyes
Oh btw, the physics of how he jumps from the car to the plane is chef's kiss. 🔥
I find these sorts of videos fascinating. Something I'd love to see is a rundown of what CD's folks think an "essential" VFX software kit looks like. As a tinkerer/hobbyist, the pricing of some of the tools seems out-of-range, while others (like Blender) are free.
Peter is just a VFX prodigy and Niko is such a good boss for lifting up his employees like that.
this is the one that's gonna get peter hired somewhere like ILM, for real. He just keeps improving. Talented is an understatement man.
Love all the behind the scenes details
AI upscaling low res (cheap) stock footage is the kind of simple genius that really makes me smile. Peter is a legend on so many levels.
This Video Hands Down Taught Me more about VFX Process Than any collage could have...
Peters talents across the board is next level but his sound design has always blown me away.
+1 for the Jake in Motion screen time at 13:59. Jake knows effects better than anyone and I would love to see him on a future challenge episode like another Iron Chef that series continues.
I have to say... Peter was a really smart addition to this team! He's really talented!
Peter I will never be able to express how much I admire you!!! Thank you for sharing your magic! Thank you! - a friend from Dominican Rpublic.
Incredible talent. I look forward to when tech can compete with all his wacky and over-the-top ideas and he doesn't feel like he's bitten way more than he can chew. Wahoo Peter :)
Just imagine what you can do with a good budget, amazing vision, and story! Validation +1!
So happy to be able to call how you did the shot where he hangs on the plane! As a complete novice of vfx and cgi I’m actually learning from this channel lol good job guys!
So happy for the guy. Peter is a talented filmmaker and he's only going to get better. Whatever he does I'm there for it.
