VFX Artists React to SHANG-CHi Bad & Great CGi

[@CorridorCrew]

Whoops! Andy Cheng, not Andy Le was fight coordinator for the bus sequence. Both Andys are extremely talented, that's our mistake - apologies Andy!

[@jennatolls6121]

[@chancedean5341]

Perhaps explaining some confusion for anyone reading this, it is also worth noting Andy Le (yes the guy shown, no not spelled lee) was indeed also involved in this film, as he plays the masked antagonist Death Dealer, contributing his own distinct style to his scenes. You can find him on KZbin at martialclub, where there’s a lot of behind the scenes footage and his own Kung fu shorts and fight scenes.

[@rafaysyed520]

@@TheAdventuresofMightyThor not at all lol. Second place behind shang chi for sure, but go back rn and compare any two fight scenes from either movie. TWS made a lot of improvements over typical action sequences in previous Marvel and Hollywood movies, such as improved choreography and movement, and a more talented/experienced stunt team, but it also suffers from some of the biggest mistakes that dragged previous films down. Shots cutting before the impact of a hit, and then stitching into a shot after the hit has landed is one of the big ones. It causes strikes to lose a ton of force on camera because the actual impact is never shown or felt. If a shot didn't cut the impact out in TWS, then it suffered from shakey cam to hide the softer impacts of the choreography, resulting in very light hits. Shang chi, on the other hand, for many of the fight scenes at least, kept long shots for not just one, but multiple hit impacts AND kept a much more stabilized shot from the camera. The stunt team on this was so incredibly talented. The hits felt impactful and were usually strung together in comparatively long sequences between cuts, all while keeping the camera stabilized in motion. I think it was actually this Corridor channel themselves that did a breakdown of this exact thing a while back which i recommend, where they discussed why Hollywood (and they used Marvel shots as examples) suffered from usually less fluid and impactful martial arts action when compared to specifically Hong Kong action sequences. Definitely worth checking out.

Yeah I gotta say that this disappointed me. They should have renamed the video to just have "Good CGI". I personally thought (subjectively) that Shang Chi had a lot of trash CGI that totally took me out of the experience of the movie (not to mention the screen writing was quite lacking). Specifically the bamboo forest, and pretty much everything in Ta-Lo. My wife had to tell me to shut up since I kept complaining about it while we were watching it. Lol. I understand that budgets and time-frames can be tight, and there was a chunk of decent CGI in this, but man did a lot of it ring hollow and actually distract from the movie itself. I would have Corridor to do a reaction that doesn't involve the people working on the movie so that they can actually react to it in it's entirety.

The choreography, the pacing, color choices everything just went to cheesey standard MCU.

Amazing work in some shots and totally unconvincing work in others doesn't make for a great experience. You just get the feeling while watching that they had way too much work to do, even without covid restrictions.

[@Monkeylordz88]

You could look at some of Captain Disillusion's VFX. He often includes his own version of the VFX he breaks down like its no big deal, but they are often very well done and informative.

[@andrisplatypus6617]

Thanx for reacting to “Shang-Chi”! I liked the part where you guess how it was done in front of the creator. If you did that once per episode, I think it’d be fun!

[@Teflora]

After talking a little bit about this film coming out on Disney plus and rewatching this episode I realize that it's one of the most intricate videos on a movie you made so far! Super interesting and makes me even appreciate it more watching it a second time! Hope you can invite him more often in the future!

[@crowan1400]

YOOOOOOOOOO, HE'S HERE! even if it's not permanent it's so good to have him back on the show!

[@UmbrellaGent]

In the next episode of "stuntmen react" you should take a look at the amazing stunts of the late Jean Paul Belmondo in favour of his memory.

[@JKJOO]

Would be amazing !

[@joshuabarnett88]

I think a movie I would love to see you look at is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Michel Gondry had such an amazing visual style and loves to film mostly practical. I think some of the best content is when they get to look at practical effects and figure out how they're made.

[@jpkdesignz]

You guys should react to "K/DA - Villain" - it's definitely the most interesting and well made music video in terms of CGI and cinematography

[@thepyrokitten]

This is amazing because you can tell how much he loves his job and it shows

[@zky7643]

So nice that the actual VFX supervisor from Shang-Chi could come in and give so much insight. Thank you, Joe!

[@kunibertist]

Hey! Please consider doing a VFX artist react special episode on James Bond intros and how they evolved over time.

[@harrihaffi2713]

That be cool! Remember some of the earlier once being quite impressive considering the options of that time.

[@ArtWithSR]

Seeing Andy being mentioned after me recommending him for over a year now, I guess, feels so good. The guy is absolutely amazing and y'all REALLY need to try to get him and Gui on Stuntmen React for real (yep, just recommended them AGAIN XD)

[@HitmonleeDeluxe]

I like how you guys only covered the mostly good CG shots of the movie and never tackled the bad ones, there were a lot in some scenes! It's called bad & great, not just great!

[@Everan614]

You can't say bad things about MCU, internet rule

[@rinkyylabzz4741]

It would be a little disrespectful to the guest , especially since he worked on it .

[@HitmonleeDeluxe]

@@rinkyylabzz4741 Yeah, I see where you are coming from, for sure. They have asked people directly involved in the past though about some shots like the episodes about some scenes in 'The Mummy', I think there are some tasteful ways to ask what went wrong. I would have have loved to know why, especially considering how some shots are so fantastic in comparison!

[@LiftYourGame]

They were most likely *paid* to film this episode by Disney or whatever PR company handles Disney. There's 0 chance of ANY negativity in that case, even if it's subjective or objective. Every other episode that clearly focuses on a specific film ALWAYS has some average cgi they talk about. But here? Nothing but it's amazing and so good.

[@Sherryn_ne]

I think that they just showed the scene that appeared in trailers to avoid spoilers since the movie is still showing in cinemas. There might be another reaction from this movie with another scenes after the movie ended its run in cinemas.

[@revan2831]

Bro this is my favourite marvel film. It just hit me in the heart like a truck. Its story, characters, and their motives were perfect and i love the ten rings. Its such an amazing weapon being so versatile and just fills the void for phenomenonal choreography. And yknow what i might watch it again its only been a week. I cant watch the same movie in half a year but this is too good

[@viktoret]

I actually think it's arguably the best Marvel movie... ever. Fight scenes were mindblowing awesome, entertaining, has its funny stuff, nice fx and without any kind of foreground hype. Had no expectations before watching it and I was so fking entertained by it. Awesome.

[@psoma_brufd]

Please do: Stargate Continuum: especially the F-15 flying shots and those of the ship and arctic (basically do the movie, it is amazing!) Star Trek TOS (the enemy within and other times there were two Kirk's) and Stargate same actor two people Door monster self fulfilling idiocy 2 Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy Also, please do Stargate (SG-1) as a whole, the show was amazing and had since pretty good effects and stunts, in particular I should like you to try to work out how they did the Stargate lighting (you've now done the kawoosh but this is kinda funny). And the really, really good effects (for the time in Atlantis, including the episode epiphany with a semi-transparent creature which Shephard jumps on). Further there is a great stunt in the Stargate Atlantis episode Vegas, with someone falling off a building and a good stunt in Sateda. For animators react do the Bad Batch especially, but also the other animated Star Wars shows (perhaps compare)

[@karelpgbr]

This sounds great!

[@gabor6259]

They should do an entire Stargate series.

[@psoma_brufd]

@@gabor6259 absolutely.

[@seanocallaghan8924]

Great breakdown, I just watched Shang Chi and i got big Jackie vibes throughout the first half of the movie as well. If I could I make a suggestion for your analysis of other creators - The Life beyond series from melodysheep here on YT (if you haven't already seen these). Thanks, keep up the great work!

[@justthinkingoutloud2538]

As soon as Dune comes out, you need to compare it to the old one, PLEASE!! There are SO MANY fascinating visual scenes in both movies that are done in such different ways, and I CAN’T WAIT to see you dive into how both were done!

[@Sarah_McMenomy]

Shang Chi is by far my favorite Marvel movie. The choreographed fights, the CGI, the story, it’s all there! I love it. I love that they brought Michelle Yeoh in as well. She’s amazing, and for most of her career she does her own stunts!

[@TheLoserface45]

Okay, the latest VFX react vids are so cool. Y’all got like the BIGGEST people in the game rn.

[@TeaGamingPanda]

Shang-Chi one of the best films these year. Everyone kicked it out of this universe!

[@klaythoring1326]

Clint! This movie was awesome & I’m stoked on the new return to old 3D when it was actually 3D :)

[@muntantmonsterx4365]

a breakdown of oats studios-Zygote would be really cool. The asset is even available to use or poke at

[@cronicasdeeberron8782]

Dude, THIS.

[@mikeshaver-miller745]

This video is marking a pivoting point for this series. Before Shang-Chi comes home with the full Blu-Ray treatment and all the extras we love, we have gotten an essential behind-the-scenes look experience for the film. If y’all keep doing this, expect people to take notice.

[@Yellowdigigod]

Shang-Chi has become one of my favorite movies of all time up next to Ip Man, Dr. Strange, A Beautiful Mind, and Good Will Hunting

[@its_a_MADD_world]

"We shoot as much real as we possibly can." Me: Thank you.

[@MaxIronsThird]

They do, sure, but they then replace everything with CGI, Iron Man's suit in IM1 and 2 looks amazing by today's standard, then we have Civil War and the shitshow that is the CGI in that movie. Iron Man, War Machine, Black Panther and Spider-Man look horrendous in it.

[@gentchnelson2632]

I would love to see corridor version of movies(similar to “but rated r”) where they amp up the explosions(or decrease their power) it would be hilarious

[@jackcole2628]

Foundation has some great visual effects so far. Would like to see what your thoughts are on it when the season ends.

[@joshs2734]

I may not love most superhero films, but the insane amount of work and problem solving by thousands of people that goes into them is stunning.

[@wcsah]

Joe explaining how the lights & billboards had to be perfectly placed to silhouette the bad guys on the mirrored glass was SO COOL. Such a cool detail. Have him back!! 9:14

[@xdavid00]

I loved the movie, although I do kinda want to know more about that one shot where Shang-Chi hits the lake. That was the only shot that stood out in a bad way, and felt really different from the rest of the movie.

[@iandrewtv]

Great episode, love the breakdown. Did he cover the treasure cart flip scene and how they forgot to turn the environment effects, lighting and textures on? I watched that on screen and swore that was a pre-viz shot that someone forgot to update.

[@robertobuatti7226]

I've got an idea for a topic, audiences or everyday people react to good and bad VFX, to see if people are smart enough to know what's looks fake and what's real, what's looks like it's been done on a computer vs a real practical effect.

[@fredcastro4252]

Very special episode. I can´t express how thankful I am for these! I´ve learned so much from you guys!

[@jedizx]

Ive been with you guys for so long and I love how big and amazing you guys have gotten man!!!
