No Time To Die Alternative Gunbarrel Sequence [After Effects]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- I have found all of Daniel Crag's gunbarrel sequences disappointing but I personally thought NTTD was his worst. It seemed like so many steps backwards after Spectre's attempt at a classic approach. It was paced awkwardly, the visuals felt completely divorced from Zimmer's score, Craig still showed his gun, The reflections were ugly, the barrel wasn't the classic design and obviously the biggest offender was the exclusion of the blood. I have seen many people theorize as to why the blood was missing, claiming it is some deep foreshadowing for Bond's death at the end of the film. I think that is a massive reach personally and the most likely reason is they felt the red blood would be jarring against the white snow. However this is not the first Bond film to open on a snowy landscape so why they felt they were above tradition on this occasion is beyond me.
My main goal for this re imagining was to make the visuals as in sync with the score as possible to create a more engaging sequence. I obviously wanted to restore as much of the traditional sequence as possible but with a few updates. I wanted to reintroduce the silhouette that was introduced in Spectre as I really liked it and hoped it would become a main stay. The barrel reflection is based on the Brosnan movies but with a few added distortion and lighting effects to give it a new look. The blood is based on the shape of the blood in the Craig films with added subtle distortion and lighting effects to give it a modern look without being too tacky and over the top. I also replaced that awful stock gun sound effect used in the original. The dot then slowly opens into the film, as it does in the original, this time to the full version of Zimmer's score.
I am pleased with how this turned out. Enjoy.
As simple as a gun barrel sequence is, they couldn’t get it right once during the Craig era. Thank you for showing them how to do it right!!!
Skyfall and CR are the only one's done right
They’d better hire you for the next one.
Why the fuck are you verified
Such an improvement over the actual NTTD gunbarrel. Well done mate!
That's because you lack vision and can't see the bigger picture even though it's only a couple of frames ahead.

It’s just an opinion.
Obviously the lack of blood and other elements in the official gun-barrel are meant to signify Bond’s death, but after 3 awful (the Casino Royale one is good) gun-barrels in a row, fans were maybe expecting something a bit more… erm… traditional, because even SPECTRE’s couldn’t manage that without completely screwing it up.
I don’t think the original NTTD gun-barrel was too bad overall, but Craig still swings the Walther around like a baseball bat, and the SFX of the gunshot was the most generic thing I’ve heard in a long time. No punch to it at all. At least version fixed the arm.
@@horrorfanandy4647 Apparently you lack vision as well. The barrel doesn't feature blood, because it wouldn't have been as nice of a transition with it being a bunch of red all of a sudden. And they couldn't have the barrel fade either, because then the reflection from the trees would make no sense. The director simply wanted to do this because he thought it would look nice. And obviously I know it's an opinion, but opinion can be made by those who lack vision such as yourself, which you've clearly demonstrated.
@@comebackguy8892 I understand that perfectly well, perhaps I should have made that clear. I’m not saying this was better, just more traditional, and again, it fixed that arm 🤣
@@horrorfanandy4647 Yes, the arm was very weird can't really defend that...
This works surprisingly well! The slow reveal through the dot, with the still air is chilling. Really sets the tone for the sequence ahead.
Brilliant work.
I did like the original NTTD Gunbarrel but your version is definitely better. Perfectly captures the classic Gunbarrel whilst having that modern twist. Great work!
This is fantastic- this is exactly how it should of been! ❤️
Well, this is how it should have look like (just like your video about the Spectre-Gunbarrel - well done). I´ve watched this video a thousand times and since "Spectre" I'm still wondering, why it wasn't adapted to the previous movies. I love the previous similarity of all James Bond openings. It will never get bored.
1. Gunbarrel at the beginning (with the typical James Bond Theme)
2. Movement after the Gunbarrel
3. An opening "Bubble" which the spectators get through
4. A smooth transition into the Prologue
In general, I don't like the Craig-Era not as much, as all the other masterpieces. No doubt, the Craig-Movies aren't that bad, but I can't regcognize the usual Atmosphere and it doesn't give me any "James-Bond-feeling". James Bond should be a charismatic heartbreaker, instead of a lifelong partner, without marriage and own children. His Oponents shouldn't have any connection to his past (his missions should never be personal). Neither do I like the fact, in every upcoming James Bond Movie, there is a new "mastermind" and the spectetator find out, he's the guy, who steered the prevoius Main-Enemy.
All Movies should be separable, except the presence of Blofeld (although in my Opinion, in "Spectre" the relationship between James and Blofeld was too personal again).
Maybe the producers of "Spectre" and "NTTD" tried to fresh the air, with this new kind of opening, but in my eyes it was a flop. And the flops keeped up. Before I unleash any Shitstorm against me, remember, *THIS IS ONLY MY OPINION*, "No time to die" was absolutely horrible. I didn't discover my "Dream-Gunbarrel", everything in this movie was personal, James Bond had a lifelong partner (I don´t like the fact, Léa Seydoux performs such a big role; the Bond-Girl should be independent and be perfomed by a different actress in every movie), he had a daughter and the worst of all, he died.
James Bond is a hero and he shouldn't die anyway. I can understand the producers tried to close the Craig-Era, but such a final was not necessary. Every other Actor-Switch was functional without a dying James Bond. In addition to that, I can't accept a female James Bond. It's no intolerance against women, but I miss the usual presentation of James Bond and don't want any changes. It was perfect, as it was.
I really don't understand, why they can't continue the "old" James Bond.
Maybe any of you guys agree with me.
I also hope the next James Bond will start with my Dream-Gunbarrel. Please don't let James Bond die completely!
I totally agree with you Cedric 👏🏼
Older prints of No Time To Die may have Daniel Craig, but expect Janelle Pierzina to appear in place of Craig on recent prints.
This would be perfect if Bond wasn't dead
Your version is definitely better than what we got in spectre and no time to die
How? It was a very clever gunbarrel in this movie.
Goldeneye improved upon what was already great with after effects. This about the same with improvements. Spectre went back to the old style , no time to die gun barrel didn’t feel like it was done properly their was no blood running down the screen.
@@Csig8927 No shit, Sherlock. That's the point. It cuts perfectly to the white forest. Not saying that it should be a standard, but a nice one time kind of deal.
@@comebackguy8892 Pah.
I disagree with your thoughts on the NTTD gunbarrel personally but i see where you're coming from considering we haven't ONCE had a proper gunbarrel sequence in Craig's entire tenure as 007 and his last one couldn't even get it right. Similar to the Die Another Day gunbarrel with the bullet in the barrel gag i don't mind this one off situation as long as they went back to the classic format for the next film.
Why could they never get Daniel Craig’s gunbarrels right?
Both are great
agreed!
@@Coolalabright timely response
I do still miss the classic "dum da-da-dum-dum" along with the blood trickle. I think the last time we heard it was Goldeneye, and it wasn't even the classic sound.
I vote we start a petition 🤣
But in all seriousness, I know exactly what you mean, I’ve never liked the new one as much, either guitar or strings, I don’t particularly care, I just would like it back!
the last was Die Another Day, it had the opening notes and guitar
Imo this works really great
I like this concept, definitely a throwback/traditional feel. However, I prefer the different styles approach ultimately, as we've had the same design for so long.
fantastic 🖒🖒🖒🖒i prefer your version to the one we got.
Splendid!
beautiful work
Brilliant work
Show this to Barbara broccoli and see what she thinks of it
jackardy's back lets gooo
This is pretty legit.
Perfect
This is a huge improvement. Congratulations
How?
Half of the video is a comparison of both versions, there’s your answer
@@TheChaosLupin Nah, you're just st*pid.
@@comebackguy8892 how?
@@TheChaosLupin Well, think about why the barrel looks like it does and why there was no blood in the original.
This Looks Awsome!
Wow really good.
Can you fix Quantum of Solace's gunbarrel?
While your version is great and extremely stylish I'd still pick the actual NTTD gunbarrel because of the color, lack of blood and faster expansion of the barrel after he shoots.
Funny, how so many fan edits are way better than the original.
How? The original makes perfect sense and makes for an awsome transition.
So true, but I think is because EON has made so many mistakes that any fan can improve their product
Awesome job!
Love It!!! Can I use the photo of the Gun Barrel for a Bond fan film I am working on?
In a alt. NTTD Bond does not die
Much better with the blood trickling down. That's the way it should always be.
Much better ❤ too bad the ending ruins everything else
yup
THATS better!!
I dont understand, why they chose the ''classic'' dot-gunbarrel opening instead of the genius one from Quantum and Skyfall
Genius? Really?
They’re the worst gunbarrels in the whole series by a country mile. They look horrible, Craig’s walk in both is terrible, and they just aren’t very good. I mean, more power to you if you like them I guess.
@@horrorfanandy4647 I meant that smooth transition from white dot to gunbarrel. Obviously his gunbarrels are weak in alomst every other way.
I like this better. But my flaw is the blood dropping because Bond is the one who got shot and not the One in the Gunbarrel.
That's not true. That's just a cope people have convinced themselves to justify the lack of blood. Bond's gun still clearly fires and seeing as the camera is inside the barrel of the assassin's gun there would have been a flash that covered the whole screen had Bond been the one shot.
@@Jackardy You are just delusional
@@FrancisHD Lol why would they deliberately spoil the end of the movie in the gunbarrel sequence?
@@Jackardy it's not a spoiler, it's foreshadowing
Then if there blood James bond wouldn’t die in this movie
Good but too slow. Especially the iris opening.
Original is better
