A Conversation | The Creator | Befores & Afters | FYC

[@PauLtus_B]

The Creator was the first VFX heavy movie in quite some time where I didn't regularly find myself feeling like I was looking at VFX.

[@ClayMann]

For me this was one of those rare gems that I savoured because I know it'll be some time before we get another. Its so impressive when the movie not only looks great but feels like you're glimpsing the near future. That takes some amazing talent that was probably squillions of hours of research and brainstorming.

[@MPdub]

Some interesting information there. I feel that this movie might be a little underrated in general, but the visuals and the style as a whole, really makes this film stand out for me.

[@michaelcooney9368]

So many 4k close ups of "simulant" characters. No visible seams or blends from real to cg skin 👏. Gareth Edwards shooting style and how to mix with technology creatively and effectively can be a real game changer. I hope films like The Creator and Godzilla minus 1 start making studios take note of indie but blockbuster quality filmmaking

[@chrispugh825]

I'm so glad I watched this. Not only is this discussion GREAT, it really makes me excited that he's directing the next JURASSIC PARK movie.

[@Graczula]

That story with AREA51....wow unreal. Love the grid scan in the movie. Gareth, I'm a huge fan of both: your works and ILM. Thank you for doing what you are doing!

[@SeanA099]

Whether or not you liked this movie, you have to respect it for it’s incredible visual effects on a relatively small budget

[@BasicPaul]

Have to be mad to not like this film. It was in my opinion the best film of 2023. Knocked Barbie and Oppenheimer out of the water.

​@@BasicPaulI tried watching this with my parents at their house. My father enjoyed it immensely as did I, but my mother got up and left the living room not even 1/3 of the way in saying "Chappie was better!" Um.. No. Hard No. Chappie was good for a Blomkamp film, but its story and characters were weak and crude and pales in comparison to The Creator.

[@WBoneB]

I just watched this this morning. Great movie. Great effects.👍👍❤️❤️

[@TheMovieRabbitHole]

Love this. Will you release actual breakdowns?

[@ILMVFX]

Soon!

The targeting beam projections from vehicles in this movie was one of my favorite visuals in a while starting with the opening raid. Great weapon sounds also.

[@_GeneralMechanics_]

This film and Godzilla Minus One deserve the Visual Effects Oscar, and I'd be content with either of them winning it. Period.

[@KillerTacos54]

This film was visually insane

[@JeighNeither]

The greatest effects company in the history of film, responsible for many of the most iconic scenes every made & for steering the course of special effects for nearly half a century & literally changing the ways films are made, multiple times over, is only getting 6.6k views on it's youtube videos after over 24 hours since posting. The world is f'ing upside down right now.

[@abdelhalimgaress5756]

Thank you so much for this! Congratulations to everyone involved!

[@ifwemadeit]

Fantastic information. Thank you ILM for the behind the scenes. I live and breath your behind the scenes videos wishing i could do magic as well one day.

[@pavelpekun5424]

Astonishing work, thank you for a such masterpiece!

[@urbanstarship]

The way the VFX were achieved for this film reminded me of the Bjork music video “All Is Full Of Love” from 1999. I don’t believe the director Chris Cunningham planned the final workflow, but they filmed real people and prop robots, and mixed this with computer animations, ending up with a great result.

[@CJBStudios]

I didn’t know ILM worked on this movie. I bet Skywalker Sound all the sound design for it.

[@ILMVFX]

We were alongside Gareth from the very beginning of the journey with The Creator! We’re so proud of the work that our team brought to this picture.

[@CJBStudios]

@@ILMVFX That’s good to know. I’ve actually been a pretty big fan of you guys ever since I saw the _Star Wars_ and _Indiana Jones movies.

[@ILMVFX]

@@CJBStudiosthank you for being a fan for so many years!

[@CJBStudios]

@@ILMVFX You’re welcome! I’ve also been a pretty big fan of the THX Cimarron and Grand trailers you worked on as well.

[@BanthaPoodoo94]

We seriously need an extended cut

[@AndresArosemena]

Great interview!

[@shubinternet]

I'd love to see these test shots that they did at the start.

[@bluedotanimation]

Super interesting thank you !

[@WITFITMAN.]

YES THE CREATOR SHOOTING 80% IN THAILAND 😎🥤🍿🍿💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥

[@apocryphal_man]

There are no before & afters in this video, so really misleading title.

[@tristankazor]

When do we get a VFX breakdown?!

[@ILMVFX]

Very soon! And not just one, but many! 🤖🤖

[@tristankazor]

Can’t wait!

[@dungtulenguyen7766]

I love you guys, I love vfx but I don't have the conditions to go to your country to study yet

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Quite a learning :)

[@MarkArandjus]

This was a movie by sci-fi artists for sci-fi artists

[@dineshfilms566]

Hello ilm-i am dinesh- You guys are brings CG vfx extremely realistic for Hollywood films I love your work I am going to become a director in future you guys has to work for my film,,thats my gole-. Your work for "The Creator"Movie is very realistic. My special regards to your director Gareth edward and your ilm crew vfx supervisors. Thank you ❤

[@expectationlost]

need images/video

[@Daniel-Strain]

I would think it would NOT be advisable to do these kinds of CGI shots without references. It relies way too much on 'eyeballing' it. But here you're talking about some of the best artists in the world doing this. If some newbie group thinks they can pull this off, or that most CG artists could, they are going to have a rude awakening.

[@thechisensei]

he's the most awkward actor to date. he's like faking his emotions all the time. i cannot watch this film again bcoz of his acting. is this guy another rapper? there are so many talented black actors. the one in Rebel Ridge would have been perfect.

[@mr.smile7779]

Will you do a movie together in India?🎉🎉🎉🎉 ILM 😊😊

[@ILMVFX]

We have a new ILM studio in Mumbai! Incredible talent and creativity from the team there. We can’t wait to show our fans what they’ve been working on.

[@mr.smile7779]

@@ILMVFX i am your work fan 🔥🔥🔥 but iam doing asst director so how to approach movie in your company ?🔥❤️

[@SpectrumFilmSchool]

[@ILMVFX]
