Blade Runner 2049 | VFX Breakdown by Rodeo FX

[@NorrisTheSpider]

CGI used to enhance already good looking practical set design. As it should be.

[@natanaelrodriguez3953]

This movie VFX work is insane the CGI is incredibly Good.

[@duckywinks]

Fantastic work. Blends in seamlessly with the practical stuff. Helped make the movie as great as it was. You should be proud.

[@thebestofthebest5724]

Jeff now looking back I noticed they completely covered the practical work

[@mirinbrah739]

They used a lot of practical effects and scenes, for a sci-fi movie.

[@BackyardPix]

The sets and props are amazing.

[@jama3335]

i didn't even notice half of these shots had cgi. excellent work enhancing the scenes. the city shots in particular are jaw dropping.

[@VixxKong2]

that's how you make it good. When both practical effects and CGI are used

[@jama3335]

exactly. the camera work using miniature sets were particularly great. The level of craftsman ship in this film's set design is admirable.

[@0Vla0]

Lots of work. So seamless enhancement of the scenes.

[@yashwinning]

Holy shit this is amazing work. Just like this movie, the VFX was a masterpiece. I honestly thought there were more practical effects involved in the movie, that's how good the CGI was. Seriously guys, amazing work. I know how hard the VFX industry is and how some VFX companies can get abused and I'm just one dude but I want to let you know how much I appreciate what you've all done. Your hard work paid off, this is truly incredible work!

[@raptor2285]

Don't forget all of the masterful miniature work from WETA Workshop that was seamlessly blended with VFX! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qX3bqZWcqM9rf68

[@MarkArandjus]

After this and Game of Thrones there really is no more excuse for bad compositing, it has been perfected. It's utterly seamless.

[@thebacons5943]

Amazing how much people who hate cgi probably don’t realize is cgi

[@GirishKumarBhat]

People dont hate CGI, they just hate the overuse of it.

[@bonk369]

I don't think people hate when it's overused, I think they hate when the use of CGI is blatantly obvious. The sweet spot is when CGI blends seamlessly together with practical shots.

[@yashwinning]

People don't hate the overuse of CGI lol, they hate bad CGI. It's a bit of a conundrum. You don't notice good CGI so you can't appreciate it, but since you can notice bad CGI you grow to hate it, but when done right you can't even notice it.

"It's like literature, it's so that it tells a story ... hopefully it'll work"

Dolan Duk Ryan Gosling is the key to all this

- overpopulation - multiculturalism - death of species - social isolation - environmental problems - man plays god - high tech low life (the only SCI FI movie that can actually become reality...oh wait)

[@sweiland75]

You know the visual effects are done right when you can't tell where they begin and the real world begins.

[@houseofdolan]

Blade Runner 2049 HAS to win best special effects!

[@nidhigupta4358]

What I'm amazed at is the great set design, rather than the special effects. True masterpiece indeed.

[@joshualin5476]

Nidhi Gupta the special effects are arguably a very important part of set design

[@nidhigupta4358]

Not in this case, they are not. Well, most of the times.

[@imasepan]

Some insane vfx work there!

[@gits5781]

Hurry Calls yeah really impressive stuff

[@kaba1996]

I loved this movie best of 2017!

[@AnnatarCarvour]

[@00lifeisforliving00]

A more than well deserved oscar, congrats.

[@kushidaya]

Stunning!

[@ElektronikGirlEpic]

Seamless

[@7SpAzDrAgOn7]

Absolutely spectacular. It made me even happier to see how little was used with how well it was used. Like perfect frosting on a delicious cake.

[@corrion1]

CGI only when needed is how you make a movie and this movie is a masterpiece

[@th0r_0dinson]

THIS is how CGI should be used in film. Excellent work!

[@joker-zw8wj]

I got drunk anf high to to baddass beautifull movie

[@sundaybinamira9790]

Mad Max

[@JohnSmith-es2fh]

Hope it wins Best Visual Effects

[@legooreostudios]

[@rancosteel]

[@shishkinmax]

I think while working on this you all thought: dreams come true. Right? Brilliant work

[@jorgenpinoy1724]

Best sci fi ever

[@federicoperi]

Absolutely SPECTACULAR. This movie is wonderful, suggesting, and beautiful at the same time

[@Wvk5zc]

Good job guys! I was really immersed into Blade Runner world if that's what you guys are trying to achieve ;)

[@ChistopherMoonlight]

Beautiful work. I'm very impressed.

[@onlunarseas]

Very nice presentation of your work! Great being able to see the VFX toggled throughout a scene, really helps demonstrate how much it impacts the space and tone of each shot.

[@CrazyHorseInvincible]

Good job digitally removing the homeless guy at 0:50.

[@tyreelindsey2012]

If anyone can tell me how to edit stills so i can have the 3D effects the city had in this film I’d appreciate I have no knowledge on it whatsoever so I don’t even know where to start

[@sethadder8045]

I would have never guessed these were effects had I watched the movie before watching this

[@carmineglitch]

Favorite movie of the year, kuddos to the designers that worked on this masterpiece

[@paragjyotideka1246]

A visual masterpiece of this decade .

[@mariomuysensual]

I already buy this precious treasure

[@evydaemon]

wow. cgi so good you would't ever notice it

[@keyd99]

yeah well done. All looks so real.

[@Kilaminjaro47]

suck and awesome film

[@prolattee]

Feel so bad that I missed this film

[@bobbobby2092]

I am 100% sure that Blade Runner 2049 will get Oscar for the VFX

[@RDZX1089]

Bob Bobby It did! :D

[@mikeg0472]

Beautiful movie

[@christianmiller9980]

Amazing work

[@ecurb10]

Hey isn't that bald guy the one in the Sophie robot video???

[@heamees4822]

He is

[@roscoehussein2812]

how bout the birthday party scene...?

[@chernebog07]

Funny that nobody brings that part up but I agree. The first time I saw it I was floored.

[@thebestofthebest5724]

Why did they say 80 percent of it was practical effects

[@isaac_alexander_v]

Watching this for the first time I knew they didn’t use miniatures but then I heard the filmmakers say they did. Guess they went the artificial way

[@savonlofton]

lexvj Vjxelj You do know this video is strictly showing the VFX of Rodeo right? They most likely didn't do all the VFX for the entire film. A lot of movies have multiple VFX companies work on the film. Either that or they just showed a few scenes from the movie that had CGI and left out the scenes where they used miniatures. If you watch actual BTS videos they use miniature sets

[@furyrisen]

It's pretty likely you were suggested a video by Weta Workshop about Blade Runner 2049, because you're watching this video, or at least, commenting on it. Do yourself a favor and click that video.

[@thebestofthebest5724]

With a couple of these they could of used a mat painting. come on!!

[@TheChromaKid]

...Why does it matter lol

[@budgetlifter]

It was a good movie but too long in my opinion. A relativitly small story stretched on over 2 and a half hours.

[@RideMyBMW]

sucked :/

[@RDZX1089]

RideMyTruck Shhhhhhh

[@RideMyBMW]

id take the DeLorean and go back to 2016 and tell Villeneuve "Dont do it dude!!!"

[@Wanderlust1972]

valerian was a better movie

[@RDZX1089]

Valerian was so boring only good thing was the pretty visuals otherwise shitty plot and bland characters in my opinion

[@mrmethods]

Ahahahahahaha

[@Wanderlust1972]

ghost in the shell was better

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Valerian? LOLOLOL.

[@sonicboom20078]

Unfortunately the stunning visual effects couldn't carry the weight of the poor writing.

[@Ivan-xy9vg]

Michael Coletti Unfortunately you obviously expected a sci-fi blockbuster, but you got disappointed with the lack of action, but that wasn't a problem for me...

[@sonicboom20078]

Did you even read my fucking comment?

[@sonicboom20078]

Wrong. Another example of a film that relies almost entirely on visual effects/storytelling, forgetting the importance of the screenplay itself. Pretentious garbage. The ambiguous writing of the original Blade Runner (which is what made it a masterpiece) is completely absent in this film.

[@sonicboom20078]

Because of how the filmmakers manipulated the audience into thinking it's a dense film. It was artsy for the sake of being artsy. Behind the beautiful veil that the visual effects department was able to setup, there's actually little to no substance.

[@sonicboom20078]

That's perfectly fine. If you enjoyed the film then you enjoyed it. I just find the writing to be the most important aspect of any film, and this film was severely lacking in that department, especially if you compare it to the original film. Honestly, Blade Runner shouldn't have gotten a sequel, and not having all of the questions answered for us was what made the original such a masterpiece in the first place. Then this new film came about and pretty much ruined the ambiguity.
