Videos like this is a big reminder that we take these movies, cartoons for granted.

I get the pains, after making some animations and effects myself, it’s usually hell in hard shots, even here it’s a long time, and sadly the people don’t get enough time to finish the cgi and light etc. They always want to make great stuff, studios want it quick

Thanks for the shoutout! :)

Brutal

Cgi Wolverine jumping out of the bus near the end of the movie needed way more time

Seeing how hard to make CGI & VFX, it's so unfair the animators don't get enough money for that.

How does it look so photo real? Like the one where Bald lady come to the place and then puts her finger inside of mens head, i heard it was made in CGi.

Right tool for the right job. Doing roto by hand is generally always better than the rotobrush, BUT, the rotobrush is the tool to use for hair. This shot is not too bad for the rotobrush tho, because the costumes are pretty smooth and the shapes change smoothly, AND it's in slomo. But for jobs the rotobrush can't handle After Effects includes Mocha AE, which is FAR BETTER for doing rotoscoping, since it can track the outline and shape much better than AE's mask tracker. There's also no blurry edges or motion blur in the shot. the Rotobrush can'd do it, you have to use the mask feather tool, either in AE or Mocha.

The mask was VERY CGI visible. A mistake in my book (<T2/Matrix/Jurassic Park/LOTR/Avatar standard)

The mask still looks like it's floating and not on wolverine's head.

poor software

Throughout the video they were doing the work but the final result looked so bad that they decided not to show it or what ??? A was waiting all time to see final result 😐

kinda funny how it says 'This entire fight scene is CG' right as it shows a shot in the scene where the only CG is the sword and face replacement

Sometimes I used to think that I have become a VFX artist. But oh my gosh😮, I will not be able to do so much work. On top of that, I am so lazy. This is a great one. I wanted to know how much stress a VFX artist who works in movies must be feeling while doing this work. Thank for video 😊

this is why it took over 2 decades for wolverine to wear a mask

the bare arms are cg.

Ironically, Wolverines arms are entirely CG in the shot you’re working on.

Imagine complaining for the work they supposed to do at work.

so no finally result cause you know them well it's was not that good, nice try tho

The mask ISNT C G!

nice video, but the intro is not quite right. that whole fight scene isnt fully CG. It is live action mixed with CG. Sometimes they are entirely real, sometimes they are mix, sometimes they are fully CG characters. But it is not purely fully CG. I imagine in real production that shot takes even longer, right? Better and cleaner key, better tracking, and then back and forth with approvals. So these two seconds could atke even more than a week, i imagine?

also gotta add that the client will have lots of notes for each pixels, and that will take many iterations

What a great video! People don't understand what VFX artist have to deal with order to save shots for feature length film. Rotoscoping is my nightmare

Ryan's a jerk.

"how do they make this in hollywood" and then uses blender and after effects, lmao

Someone cooked here

Bro its so much harder than i thought I will remember this for the next marvel movie

DEADPOOL VS WOLVERINE MASK EDITION - kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHmzgIqZeb5lqaM Hi professional CG artist here and the guy behind viral Deadpool and Wolverine mask trailer and the recent viral fight scene. Great insight. I'd like to add that it usually it also depends on tons of in house packages and plugins specially RND'ed for specific scenes. These special tools usually ease up the process of cleanup after manual matchmove hence making the overall workflow faster. The whole fight sequence took me almost a week to complete.

Amazing video, hopefully will see Blender became more main stream for CGI 💪💪💪

Good video to show people that its not just click and done, showing how compley its just 2 seconds

Great addition of another up in coming youtuber 🤝

The video collab came out great! Nice job Zaid👍

I had no idea that all the dots were used for tracking and reference. Makes more sense now. Thanks for walking it through step-by-step.

girl what is a png?! 1:24 . Message back ASAP. Thank you. -bongwater

Underrated channel

This was a bad idea.

where is this version of zaid. release him

CG is a stop motion in its own way one could say. both can be used in a dish of delicious animation

1) It doesn't matter how well an ai can make a video, because that video will be worthless. Any bit of film only has worth because of the work and process behind it. 2) I or any artist shouldn't want an ai to do any work for them. A true artist's goal isn't to just pump out as many ideas/content as possible. It's to make something meaningful, enjoy the process behind it, and learn something from it. 3) The essence of art is quality over quantity in a sense. Art is not meant to be easy. Art is pure "human-ness": it takes hard work, time, passion, and creativity. Our world is lacking true passionate creations. And it goes further than just art. barely anything we've created in this modern era will be remembered or have any effect on humanity. Our current world is almost purely quantity over quality, in EVERY aspect of life. I want to see some passion, not products.

who will animator going to replace specially 2d animators by AI?

There's a video going around of a "puppet" of Hugo from the Iron Giant. The video uses a puppet for very basic movements. But the entire face and body is basically fully replaced with a CGI version. HOWEVER, the comments of the video, and it's reuploads, are over flowing with people that legit believe it's completely animated by hand in real-time! Thisnis in large part to a 2-5 segment where they puppeteer is seen animating the puppet. Although the description of the video clearly states the face is replaced with CGI, these commenters/viewers believe it isn't enhanced at all. Even when you point it out to them.

For decades we have had debates about CGI vs Practical effects, many showing CGI’s weak points from rushed and overworked departments. Overtime I have seen more and more people respecting the artistry of good well done CGI and the creators/studios that put in the work for it. I feel like history is going to repeat itself here where AI will be used to rush things out and save costs only to be widely panned for looking bad, and that the studios using it as a tool and putting in the real work won’t get recognition for doing things well until much later.

I have a lot of thoughts, I'll admit they're a little disjointed. 1) There is such a thing as squash and stretch in stopmo, just watch any Will Vinton film. I think if there's any question that stopmotion has something unique to bring to the experience, it's the very natural and organic feel of the way the clay figures move and stretch and mold from one thing into another. 2) I don't think LAIKA knows why it's doing stopmotion anymore. I agree with people saying that they should just switch over to CG if they're going to use so much of it anyway, but this is a LAIKA specific phenomenon more than it is for anyone else. I remember seeing some of the sets and puppets in person, and was struck by how much more real they looked than on camera. Meanwhile, puppets for Pinocchio or Vinton projects looked just as beautifully real on camera as they did in person. While LAIKA started out with a lot of Vinton crew (that's a whole other story), most people who were there in the early days have since left for different studios who embrace the unique aspects of stop motion as a medium. 3) That's the fundamental question then, why is this stop motion? In the early days it was because that's the only way to do special effects. But now that we have other options, it should be a deliberate choice to use the medium. You can tell a Wes Anderson stopmo film loves being stopmotion. Or a Will Vinton. Or Selik. I want to see that this style was considered and chosen as the best way to tell this story. The extra time and effort taken is worth it when you have a studio who loves the medium itself. I don't think recent LAIKA films love being stop motion.

interesting

I really appreciated Henry Selick’s choice to not remove the face seams in Wendell and Wild, it added a lot more charm to that movie.

I wonder if the effort LAIKA put into their first three big movies - ParaNorman, Boxtrolls, and Kubo overwhelmed them too much, and if that's partially why Missing Link relied even more on CGI than the previous 4... and why it's been taking them so long to develop the next one? Either way, I'm just glad they're still around.

Cool vid. I love stopmotion and I kind of like the marriage of CGI for things that would otherwise be impractical or impossible to achieve. I feel like stopmotion should have a very intentionally "raw" look to it but as long as the CGI doesn't take away from it I think it's fine.

In my honest opinion. Just go all in on CGI. I see no reason to still use stop motion with todays tech.

All movies are ‘CGI’ these days, as everything is computer generated images in many ways. Stop motion puppets and background assets are designed/modelled/3d printed for speed. Crowds are 3d, matte painted skies and backgrounds are a mix of 2d and 3d work. Compositing is done in CGI, as is grading. What this video should have said, is that ’CGI’ is amazing and in every film, but it allows for vignette stop motion to continue to be made, despite being able to have been done faster, better and cheaper than full stop motion. You might even conclude, that the small amount of stop motion projects, which include all that CGI, is really a marketing strategy, to imply that it is in some way harder to achieve? Just like all the ‘VFX’ movies, which again is every movie, the director pretends that it is all ‘In-camera’, which is so ridiculous.

dispise how much Kubo and Missing Link relied on CGI to tell the story. the reason Stop motion works as a medium is because of how tactile it feels. Laika's newer films feel so cold compared to Coraline or ParaNorman
