One thing I've always wanted to see you talk to is the people developing the software used by all the people you talk to. Who's actually making these leading edge tools?
Here's some advice too. Make sure the things you want to talk about with them aren't under an NDA. Make sure they can talk general techniques. How much are they keeping the artists in mind when developing? I know some of these dudes explanations plus your guys ability to put the actual uses as visuals to them will hit.
I hear you I like programming talks but THe thing is the guy would have to come up with a fully developed presentation for it to be remotely entertaining for the masses, a lot of factorization and functions basically a bunch of math.
@@Gyork_ I do recognize it would be difficult but there are some people out there that can talk about it well for a general audience and Corridor has the resources to find them and make it cool.
I know NOTHING about VFX, but I'm subbed because of this exact reason. It's one of the single most fascinating things you can do, listening to someone who is a master talk about what they do for a living.
I love how the show isn't pushed into giving one season each year. No. They're given as much time as they need. This needs to be more common, too. So many projects fail due to time crunches , holiday season releases, etc
This might be the best, most informative episode ever. Stephan Fleet giving his specific tips and secrets to achieving such great effects like they do on The Boys is so interesting to hear about.
i respect the couple of legends they had on the show but i too felt like this dude was the most informative guest theyve had so far...i have a feeling this guy will go far and we are yet to see his best work...he just has such an organic grip on the work being done that it feels almost casual...and making something difficult look casual is a sign of greatness
The thing that always gets me with this show is how brutal the laser eyes are. Like, laser eyes are always depicted as a relatively tame power. Useful, yes, but seeing them just absolutely shred people, buildings, planes, is a completely different level. DC or marvel laser eyes would probably leave a mark on the plane, but wouldn't slice clean through like it does here and I kinda love it
@@DollyRanch yeah, I don’t know what this guys talking about lol. We’ve seen stuff like this happen before. Even I’m marvel, when iron man cut through a bunch of robots with lasers on his hands.
@@sadchild9478 I think what he meant is lasers in other fiction arent as brutal and gorey or destructive also super detailed as in the boys except maybe like star wars.
This guy makes the boys so much better. His practices, and methods are perfect. He does everything he can to make the job of the vfx artists easier, and by that better because they have more reference, and time because they don’t have to research on their own
Wow I feel like this guy by far has given the most specific and in depth advice on how to make good visual effects, compose a scene, and direct a set for visual effects. Great episode, love The Boys!
The point made by Niko around 16:10 is a good example of how understanding film is still crucial when doing higher level VFX work. It would have been easy to just comp that and pull the focus down through blurs and be done with it. But those little touches that still try to model what the camera (or our eyes in other cases) would see is what marries everything together. Props to The Boys for committing to the use of both practical and VFX.
Back in the early 80s there was a show hosted by Leonard Nimoy called "Standby: Lights! Camera! Action!" In some ways your React series (and the other behind-the-scenes stuff you've done recently) is the spiritual successor to that show. I thank you very much for your effort. Which is why I've liked, subscribed and hit the bell :)
Loved that show, both for the subject matter and its host. 😃 Didn't it air on Nickelodeon? It covered a wide variety of subjects, not just optical effects, such as dialogue and accent coaching. Just as Corridor Crew is a spiritual successor to Lights! Camera! Action!, that show probably got made due to the interest in the various "behind the scene" specials that aired on network TV that covered the Star Wars films, ET, and other effects enhanced blockbusters.
@@haveproblemz545 nah disagree. Each seasons ends with you wanting to see more. Only part of the story that lagged a bit for me was when Kimiko’s brother showed up. That little arc was seemingly pointless to me
@@Ebola-Kun it always ends with everything returning to the status quo, nothing really gets progressed and there aren’t many real consequences. But yes, the boys have top notch plot.
@@haveproblemz545 no real consequences? Not like the dozens of bodies piling up? ruined reputations? New people in power? Broken relationships? I don’t think anyone at all in the story is where they started mentally or physically
man, the boys is so damn good. makes sense that such a well-spoken, intelligent artist is behind some of these effects. great episode, i'm never disappointed by corridor!
that's the thing that sucks when people call out "bad cgi". A movie can have a hundred amazing cgi shots, but then as soon as one shot looks slightly bad, which most of the time isn't even the fault of the vfx artists, everyone starts talking about how bad the cgi is, completely ignoring every other shot. Black Panther is always the movie that comes to mind, most of that movie looks great, but there's that one horrible looking fight scene because the vfx artists were rushed, but I never hear people talk about the good cgi, only the one bad shot
Stephan's explanations are so well and I would have no idea so much went in to some of these shots. His attention to detail is amazing and I'm glad you guys asked him so many questions.
This dude was by far the best at explaining what he does. I'm legit learning things and bringing all these concepts together like I never have. Even after watching this for around 2 years. Cool beans!
My one problem with the A-Train scene is the physics of him stopping. The body A-Train is dragging should keep its momentum when he stops. Everything else in the shot is amazing tho 👍
Its part of A-Train's super power, he violates conservation of energy and momentum constantly. Its reasonable to assume that would carry over to things he's using his power on.
I'm so glad you guys are doing more videos on this brilliant show! I am always beyond impressed by not only Stephan's breadth of knowledge about VFX, but also his ability to perfectly articulate everything into words. It really does take very special skill, passion and talent
Interview With the Vampire - when Claudia cuts Letstat's cheeks is another great example of face cutting effect. It had some pretty cool effects in general for it's time
whether you like the boys or not, what you have to respect is the quality of the effects, and the obvious hard work that goes into them, they are movie quality and above.
The comic is insane and the show did an amazing job of adapting it for TV. In my opinion, the CGi is actually better than most movies I've seen. Great show!
I love how at 15:19 , Wren asks a question and then after, at 15:25 he immediately focuses on the voices in his head or something. Aside from that, great vid'. The Boys is truly a masterpiece.
Man, Stephan always does such an amazing job describing the planning steps he and his team go through to get these shots to work. It's just insane the amount of foresight necessary to pull some of this off.
I would love this. The Orville has some amazing stuff, but I would also like to get their opinion on scale. For instance, the shots when the small run-abouts re-enter the ship, I always get the impression that the scale is way off ... it seems to make The Orville look much smaller in comparison to the size of the run-about.
That cheek-cut made me remember an old lesson I learned from the behind the scenes materials of Paul Verhoeven's sci fi movies. I think it was the nail color change shot in Total Recall in particular. The lesson was that if you have the choice of adding an effect in shot or removing it from the start of the shot... Always opt for the latter. Because if you start with something painted out and then reveal the real footage with animatronics and prosthetics and practical effects during the shot, the audience won't be looking for the telltale signs of CGI until the CGI is already gone. Not entirely applicable to the cheek wound, as they did end up replacing the makeup wound anyways. But it is still one of my go to rules with CGI and compositing.
What's extra killer about this one is that it's not just about the techniques that go into the VFX; Fleet walking us through the day of the comp sandwich shot really puts a lot of things into perspective. Sure, it's a ton of work, but there's a process for making that day go smoothly, and a good VES knows just as much about directing the people working on the project as they do about making the effects themselves.
For the most part they follow a schedule for their uploads (react episodes are uploaded every Saturday), that way you know which days are good or bad ahead of time.
I'd love for you guys to have a look at the Prey movie from this year. It even has a scene of the Predator interacting with water, and I know how much you guys love water...
From watching these episodes with Stephan, I can definitely tell he's a huge part about why The Boys is so good. Also, 14:30 that'd be so much fun to be any of those guys doing the stunt.
All my respect for everyone involved in The Boys. It is inclusive, open minded, has everything in it, and is awesome written. This is how you make a modern show, for the aholes at Disney!
The political commentary is probably more intelligently written than the majority of the country can comprehend. Like it's so genius how it parodies political figures, strategies, and just the political landscape of today
I’d really like to see you guys take a look at the last fight in The Man From Nowhere. It has pretty awesome action and is a movie that needs more recognition
Well helps if u think about it as if, he's strong enough to stop all that momentum as well.. doesn't explain blue falcon stopping, o well it's magic lol
The way he accelerates, corners and brakes suggests it's the old "personal forcefield" going on. The same one that allows bricks to lift cars by the fenders, throw busses and all kinds of feats without tearing things apart or crunching them up when accelerating them. It's an old trope in the super comics and would explain how this speedster is able to do all these stunts.
Still one of the best shows on TV. The Boys is amazing. They really do nail the gore effects and making things look more realistic than they should. When swatter got hit with the missile and that smoke blew away it was perfect
"Keep it grounded" In terms of how CGI and practical effects are used, right? Not the effect itself? Because I still have nightmares about that guy that can shrink himself. He was grounded TOO DEEP imo 😆
As a VFX artist it's great to see an on-set sup who clearly REALLY knows his stuff. People like him are a huge asset to a show and save so much time and money. Hopefully I'll get to do some on-set supervision in the future. I was also surprised that the people flying through the air weren't CG. I was assuming they'd film all those elements in focus but that was a clever point about also pushing the focus out so you have actual reference for manipulating the focus. And pgBokeh is a great node but holy crap it's slow.
The boys has a really good balance of practical and VFX, and for a super hero show it's really up there competing against these super VFX rich shows and films
You guys make learning so fun!!!! I didn’t know I’d love this channel as much as I do now😂 truly appreciate and love you guys Oh and one more thing: Mariama Kamara will be on this show one day!
its very cool i love how we get to see into how stuff like this is made. the only problem i saw is the bullet looks to be a hollow point so it would have shattered on the first impact of the cement pillar. Ps im kinda a gun fanboy so i know how certain bullets would react to certain impacts
Love love love the final trio of boys fight scene with the slightly increased speed of punches, all I ever wanted in supe films. Would be thrilled in Stephan & you boys talked about it.
As a gun lover and a lover of this show, the part that triggered me the most was that the bullet kept perfect shape after tumbling into numerous concrete pillars. I can wave to the side when guns shoot more bullets than they can hold but the whole slow mo scene drove me nuts lol, but awesome show overall!
The Boys really shows that good film making, just because you want to make art, is still possible. I think thats one reason why people like this show so much, its entertaining for the sake of being entertaining, no unnecessary extras. Additionally it has the perfect mix out of visual effect, CGI and practical effects. The jeep scene shows, practical explosions still hit different that pure CGI ones and visual effects help to make this shot better.
I lowkey love it when there are ooopsies uploaded in this channel like at 11:09. I uploaded the wrong version on one of my big short films that ended up getting like 3 million views. It was missing a VFX element and the whole time i'm like "JUST IGNORE THESE 3 SECONDS." And of course it's something I worked on tirelessly for weeks.
to Wren's question for gory shots to look at: The infamous fire extinguisher scene from Gaspar Noé's Irreversible. There's also a behind the scenes on the DVD covering how they made the effect and it's super fascinating when you consider the fact they shot this analogue. Would love to see you discuss that one on the show!
The Wheel of Time really deserves a react from you guys in my opinion. The first and last episode have a lot of CGI with varying degrees of quality. Both good and not very good things to react to! I ask for this reaction every week, and will continue to do so :).
One thing that I'd love to see you guys talk about is sound effects. Sound effects are a really big and important part of movies, but no one ever talks about them in detail
id love to see you guys react to everything everywhere all at once! the vfx was done by just 5 people and there's a lot of interesting stuff to talk about!
Here’s a bad cgi clip suggestion: in Transformers DotM, there’s a scene where Megatron is sitting on the Lincoln Memorial, and his legs are VERY obviously clipping through the stairs
One thing I've always wanted to see you talk to is the people developing the software used by all the people you talk to. Who's actually making these leading edge tools?

The other day I was wondering what it’s like to be a cg artist that gets hired by a place that uses in house software like how do they learn it?
Please have this guy on more episodes. He really knows how to explain things in a simple but very educational way, yet still entertaining.
I like to think that guys like this one are pretty busy men
Yeah people dont realize this is only promo, He’ll be back for the next project or season
It's really cool listening to someone who knows what they're doing and has such a grasp on their Craft
I'd recommend checking out the other episodes of VFX/stunt reactions, all their guests are that way.
Mastery is such a wonderful thing to watch
This dude is a great teacher as well. Loves his craft and explaining the magic trick. Cool beans!
I'm all giddy that he uses the same camera body as me: Sony A7iv.
I know NOTHING about VFX, but I'm subbed because of this exact reason. It's one of the single most fascinating things you can do, listening to someone who is a master talk about what they do for a living.
This guy a huge part of why the Boy's is so good, he clearly is a pro and never cuts corners, we need more of that in the industry.
I love how the show isn't pushed into giving one season each year. No. They're given as much time as they need. This needs to be more common, too. So many projects fail due to time crunches , holiday season releases, etc
He said he's paid well so we probably won't see more of it
Then the industry will make less money because time is money. Unfortunately, infinite growth is more important than quality products.
@@MrGamelover23 unfortunately that's how they think, but a higher quality product makes more money
@@cable7152 but it also costs more money.

The conversation about focus at the end was really cool and points to the importance of forward thinking because it gives you options.
Happy to have guessed the answer to that question early. Pretty much always easier to fuzz up something detailed than detail something fuzzed up
I love everything about The Boys so giving us this behind the scenes entertainment is SUPER appreciated
Such a great show and I'm glad we have the Corridor guys doing these breakdowns with the artists involved in the show.
Cringey

Go check out their vid with Adam Savage. They discuss things like that. They've done a couple others that talk practical.
@@aleksbiteman5324 yep seen it, very interesting 😄

I would really enjoy an episode on the netflix show sandman. There are such cool particle sims and vfx to fit the dream like theme of the show.
"I planned the crap out of this" = the key behind every great accomplishment, especially in the filmmaking industry 👍💜
It took me far too long to notice that there is an actual train sound when A-train runs.
Man, The Boys VFX crew are simply just the best in the business
A-train dragging the body scene was so good, too bad it was a bit weird when he stops running and all that momentum just stops all of a sudden

I can wave to the side when guns shoot more bullets than they can hold but the whole slow mo scene drove me nuts lol, but awesome show overall!
The ending to Elvis! Transition from the actor to the real elvis performance was amazing
I want you guys to react on a Bollywood movie brahmastra's VFX..
Plz react on it 😊
That explosion scene breakdown was amazing!
These shows gets more and more interesting, but i really miss the bad cgi parts :(
i love watching these please don’t stop this one
please react on BHRAMASTRA movie vfx
The Boys really shows that good film making, just because you want to make art, is still possible. I think thats one reason why people like this show so much, its entertaining for the sake of being entertaining, no unnecessary extras. Additionally it has the perfect mix out of visual effect, CGI and practical effects. The jeep scene shows, practical explosions still hit different that pure CGI ones and visual effects help to make this shot better.
Please guy Brahmastra. Do a Bollywood reaction video on Brahmastar 🙏
I lowkey love it when there are ooopsies uploaded in this channel like at 11:09. I uploaded the wrong version on one of my big short films that ended up getting like 3 million views. It was missing a VFX element and the whole time i'm like "JUST IGNORE THESE 3 SECONDS." And of course it's something I worked on tirelessly for weeks.
Bollywood movie bharmastra
the effects on the boys are so good they cant stop talking about every scene with them
to Wren's question for gory shots to look at: The infamous fire extinguisher scene from Gaspar Noé's Irreversible. There's also a behind the scenes on the DVD covering how they made the effect and it's super fascinating when you consider the fact they shot this analogue. Would love to see you discuss that one on the show!
The Wheel of Time really deserves a react from you guys in my opinion. The first and last episode have a lot of CGI with varying degrees of quality. Both good and not very good things to react to! I ask for this reaction every week, and will continue to do so :).
Love that comp shot breakdown. I love the show and that scene was flawless
One thing that I'd love to see you guys talk about is sound effects.
Sound effects are a really big and important part of movies, but no one ever talks about them in detail
I love that Gunpowder was played by Sean Patrick Flanery. It was fitting seeing a Boondock Saint playing a Supe with the power of gun.
Such a good episode. He is so knowledgeable and gives such clear explanations.
Exactly...we need an episode like this
I love how they really express these cgi scenes as the art that it is even the bad stuff
This dude is awesome, for his work and his total love for making it
Stephan and the boys are amazing. Hope you make more of these❤
id love to see you guys react to everything everywhere all at once! the vfx was done by just 5 people and there's a lot of interesting stuff to talk about!
Man, you can tell how professional this guy is
Here’s a bad cgi clip suggestion: in Transformers DotM, there’s a scene where Megatron is sitting on the Lincoln Memorial, and his legs are VERY obviously clipping through the stairs
This guy is awesome bring him back more often
I LOVE THE BOYS!!! GIVE US MORE!!! Not super often though. Each one feels special :) 10/10 content
I like how the shell casing moves faster than the bullet in the gunpowder vs butcher scene.
I gotta say, one of my favourite vfx movie scenes is the atomic breath scene in shin godzilla. That scene is amazes me with how good it looks.
I was hoping to get an insight about the cartoon cuts. But to learn about how the explosion was 90% practical was super cool
