I've had a dozen UA-cam channels over the years and I swear to God I subscribe to Film Riot every time. These guys are a major reason I am pursuing a career in filmmaking, so thanks Ryan, Josh, Emily and everyone else who's been on the Film Riot team over the years.
Subscribed to film riot 11 yrs ago. Now I am doing film as a profession. Still, This channel never cease to inspire me to write, shoot, edit and laugh when I'm watching their episodes. Thanks for the inspiration to all of film riots full production!!
videos like this five years ago is why I even started watching film riot. since then I've grown, but the value you guys put out most likely helped an entire generation of film lovers. kinda like Andrew Kramer with vfx.
You guys are one of the reasons we’ve started making short films some years ago, and with Corridor Digital & Rocket Jump as well, thank you for your work that inspired thousands of aspiring filmmakers out there!
For people who are busy and don't have time to watch the whole video and just want to know the terms and see if you know them or not before watching the video : 1. Compositing 2. Keying 3. Rotoscoping 4. Paint outs/removals 5. Matte Paintings 6. Day for Night 7. Assets 8. CGI 9. Passes
This is why Film Riot is my go-to filmmaking channel. A wealth of knowledge in an entertaining and digestible way. When will the VFX Tuesday tutorials come back? I remember last year you guys were trying to do that but suddenly stopped.
If anyone hasn't tried them yet, their effects rock. I went a little crazy with their Black Friday sale and they look awesome and are super easy to use, even for a newbie like me. :-)
remembering watching film riot when I was 12 years old in 2012, downloaded a pirate version of After Effect and started with the lightsaber hahahaha, where it all started. Respect, you guys influenced a lot of filmmakers in this generation.
As a VFX professional, I appreciate having somewhere to send curious friends and family members who want to learn a little bit more about what I do for a living. My only point of contention would be how you use the word "assets". That word has a very specific meaning at VFX houses where proper digital asset management is necessary to produce shows on a bigger scale. In that context, every image sequence, 3d model or compositing script is an "asset" stored in your production database, carefully tracked and managed by your production tracking system (such as Shotgun or FTrack). Instead, we usually refer to the type of footage you are talking about as "elements". Different companies might use slight variations, such as "2d element", "library element" or "stock element", but it's usually something along those lines. It's perhaps not a universally adopted term, and the word "element" on its own can indeed be used in a wider sense to refer to any plate, render, or even matte painting, used in a comp. But when a supervisor asks a comper to look for suitable elements, there is generally no confusion as to what they mean.
I've learned tons from Film Riot over the last few months. Practical lighting is still the trickiest for me right now. Soon as I see the new post on IG I'm off to UA-cam but I suck at their trivia.
This just made me love MUCH more the Vfx Career. I'm trying to get into it mostly with mate paintings and compositing :) Thanks for this awesome video man
Thank you so much for this! I believe learning the proper terminology really helps to search for tips/videos when trying new things in your films as well as communicating with collaborators.
Thank you, Ryan! I appreciate a good refresher in VFX every now and then. Reminds me of the possibilities that you can do in VFX to pull off some sweet sweet goodness!
Great piece! I gots ta tell ya I lived in Dallas and ya'll are freezing there. Not That cold there in a hundred years! Be positive, test negative....and keep warm! JV
I would love to see a video specifically on the passes process. That seems a little bit more advanced than you said it was possibly but maybe it is something that we do and don’t really realize?
Excelent video, guys!! Although as a film fan I'm familiar with most of the terms, it's always nice to get a refresher, plus you always one new to learn. In this case, it was the very last one, PASSES. Thank you so much and looking forward to a future "9 CGI Terms You Should Know" vid!!!
Thank you so much for this! I'm just getting into vfx, mainly set extension and some small ar sort of stuff.. In preproduction for my first ever short. You guys are a huge inspiration!! Thank you so much for all your hard work!!
I used to make a living as a video editor and motion graphics artist. I did a few no-budget, take-what-you-can-get numbers with my friends in high school and college, and worked in After Effects and Premiere for years on dozens of projects. Ultimately it wasn't my calling, but one day I hope to return to filmmaking as a hobby, and make something completely, irredeemably silly and terrible - now with the techniques I learned from FIlm Riot.
I'd suggest with whichever software you are using, look up beginner/fundamental tutorials for that software first. Then some good effects to start with are things like split screen for cloning and motion tracking something like adding an object on a wall for example
Did you guys make the subscribe button little graphic at the end of the episode, or did you use a downloadable template? really liked the effect it created...
@@deancreate it was one of the first things I learned. And from film riot! I’ve got a few saber short films now. Love making them but its hours of roto work!
Film riot should open a major film company, they’d be 10x better than holly wood, cus there ideas and work they put in is incredible. They do more with less
Could you show how rendering multiple passes and compositing them back together looks like/works? planning to get into cgi with blender - learned a lot from your channel, stay awesome!
Hey Ryan I enjoyed watching, I learned a lot you went into depth about each vfx term and it made a lot of sense. My question is what is a good program used for "CGI" I would love to have your feedback. I would like to learn CGI one day and add that to my short indie films.
@@funfilm77 the quality wont look good fi they dont get the time and the money dosent matter ppl aint working more that what they get paid thats why some movies cgi looks bad the company just not getting enough money so they aint waisting their time and will instead put time on the project that payinbg well and deliver
@@adrianstjarnfaldt7359 People like this don't do it for the money only, thats why the shorts they do look so good. When money is the only goal, then we get crap movies.
Hy Ryan........First of All I'm your biggest fan & learned a lot from you guys in the last decade. Second, I was wondering if you make some tutorials using Davinci....... Because I,ve been practicing your tutorials from many years using after effects and premiere pro...........but since the last update of of Davinci, I moved to it but didn't find any help around the internet regarding davinci ........ I'm not asking you to change your workflow, but like you make that color grading episode using Davinci... just make at least one episode per month using davinci. I hope you will give some extension to my request.......... BTW LOVE YOU GUYS......
Wish I had this 20 years ago. ;-) How much was that stunt of in Ballistic with the guy spinning in the air on a crane as oppose to if it were possible to do an accurate digital double? I have been interested in high quality digidouble for years.
My short film contains a couple police chases, so with my lighting technician taking the decade off, I dont really want to strap color gel leds to the roof of my volvo and chase myself driving and filming in my sisters car (too many Me's involved) Ive been trying to do this with tint effect and glow but didnt I see an old episode where you have a colored lighting effect and even a set of red n blue lights? That would be soooo much help! Thanks :)
Would you ever enhance your older shorts with VFX? Like George Lucas did for the original trilogy? Like for example your films: Losses, or Proximity, etc. They are perfect in my eyes because I was around when they released they are nostalgic for me. Just asking your opinion would you ever enhance your films with the tools that are available today.

I would like to see an episode about the day-to-night topic.
"the time given to complete that shot". It's always this one. It's a rare person I work with that truly understands how long this stuff can take.

8:27 Nice to see Blender as example

Thank you so much for teachong us these terms very helpful 🥰🥰
Perfect. Love the Extinction and Infinity asset packs. Getting lots of use out of them.
Thank you so much for this! I believe learning the proper terminology really helps to search for tips/videos when trying new things in your films as well as communicating with collaborators.
Great video. Shoutout to all the filmmakers out there. 🤙🏾
Detonation films are the most underrated company as regards to Assets for VFX
Thanks so much. I’m new to the scene and often would be embarrassed to ask some of the questions that you cover.
Great video. Love this kind of "Glossary Video" that gets everyone on the same foot and, hopefully, encourages parity in terms of vernacular.
Day n night was the first video I saw on this channel back in 2010!!
I would love for you if you went over some more term and vocab in film in general. Thank you so much!
Thank you, Ryan! I appreciate a good refresher in VFX every now and then. Reminds me of the possibilities that you can do in VFX to pull off some sweet sweet goodness!
Always a good day for film riot
Learnt something from this video. Thanks Mister
i would like to see a video that focuses on CGI. keep up the great work, love these videos.
Thank you so much for doing this video...I knew some of these, but you've really filled in some gaps in my knowledge.
Cover the different rendering options and why you would use them. That would be super helpful.
Bought your glitch pack last year and I love it!
I'm learning vfx and this video is really help full
I love that a bunch of filmmakers on UA-cam are friends with eachother eg you and corridor
I know this. I just love hearing it explained. Thumbs Up!
I didn’t know these terms, so thank you for this video
This was really useful. I actually learned quite a few things from this.
Favourite teacher
Great piece! I gots ta tell ya I lived in Dallas and ya'll are freezing there. Not That cold there in a hundred years! Be positive, test negative....and keep warm! JV
Thank you very much
I have learnt a lot from you and in fact made a short film about Magic in just $206 approx
**me, currently rendering a shot for an animated short film:* Yes, interesting....🤔🤔
Amazing list of vfx. I always love your videos
There's alot things I'm yet to know about being a vfx artiste its my passion. Film riot! I'd be happy if I could get a little enlightenment.
Great video as always!! Always feel so inspired watching these!

Need some tutorials on VFX related stuffs like you guys did 3D projection, sci-fi battlefield
Great video 🙌🏽. Wanted to ask, Can night be changed to day?
Amazing as always! Pure awesomeness. Thanks Bryan 🙏
Very, VERY helpful video!
Is there any chance of you appearing in Corridor Crew's "VFX Artists React" episode?
Very informative and helpful. IM trying to learn VFS but don’t know where to start.
I'd suggest with whichever software you are using, look up beginner/fundamental tutorials for that software first. Then some good effects to start with are things like split screen for cloning and motion tracking something like adding an object on a wall for example
@@VFXProductionsRT thank you for the tips greatly appreciated
I've watched so many Film Riot videos lately... I can't say "LOGO" without doing the voice!!!!
Did you guys make the subscribe button little graphic at the end of the episode, or did you use a downloadable template? really liked the effect it created...

Rotoscoping is definitely HATED! #Lightsabers!
