Joseé was an incredible guest. Her work is unbelievable but instead of talking herself up she talked about the compromises they had to make to get it done and the little imperfections that almost no one in the cinema would notice. Loved this episode.

[@PWN_Nation]

Loved "The Aeronauts", more for the camera and FX work than the story even...

this was probably the most technical out of all of the episodes previously, Josse is a phenomenal effects artist....you too Jordan :D

[@francescogulisano2917]

Was thinking the same thing. She went deep with the technical details but was still quite easy to follow. Great guest

[@CrotchetRest]

I suspect Corridor is always purposely restraining themselves from technical details to target the largest audience possible, but they made an exception here. And I gotta say, for me it was more interesting that way.

[@maria__9057]

I think Niko's absense was felt here because he is usually the one that acts like a bridge, explaining what the artists talk about..! But I loved the video nonetheless!

[@tacrocha]

The people have spoken: Josée is an instant fan-favorite.

[@burritodog3634]

shes so cute 😍😍

[@Scripture-Man]

Sorry, did I watch a different video to everyone else? Josee? The woman with glasses and the heavy accent? What!? And given that she's a married woman, some of the comments about her are creepy and inappropriate, if not downright bizarre.

[@Agropio]

@@Scripture-Man Yes, the woman with the glasses and the accent. The one whom pretty much everyone in the comment section is celebrating. I fail to see the problem.

[@Scripture-Man]

@@Agropio I can't get past that accent. It's like a barrier, and I really struggle to understand anything she's saying. And I really don't see what's special about her. I don't like her personality. She seems butch, not feminine or wholesome.

I worked with Josée at RodeoFX during 4 years on the CFX department on these projects . She is a very great artist, very technical personn, very kind, very humane. This video is a very good representation of her! You want a person like that in your studio. And Bravo Josée for this excelent presentation. Your work is amazing and we did a very good job on these projects with a small team!

Agree with Steve ! Josee for the win !

[@Clairevoyante]

Agreed! Salut Steve!! :D Indeed Josée is an amazing artist, a great teacher and a wonderful leader. She's awesome.

I really like having Jordan on the couch. He talks to the audience with actual technical insights. He doesn’t assume we know nothing. I like being able to learn even more technical information about what we’re watching!

[@PaavoMueller]

[@RonniJohansson]

Haha, exactly. I really like how it addresses the artist's job of imagining the final result, and then going backwards to figure out how to get the needed look. Why waste time on a simulation (or detail), when a "simple" map will suffice and sell the shot? Work smarter, not harder 😊

[@TheSantifive]

Man the Jordans are taking over. First Jake, now Wren this is madness! PS: It's so rad you get your guests to sign your couch and you give us a little peek into it.

[@GuyEdwards001]

I realy appreciate Josée Chapdelaine--I love the reactions, but I really love getting technical about the process and solutions. This has been one of the strongest VFX React videos for getting down and dirty about the process and problem solving. PLEASE bring back Josée!

[@scottmanley]

I like how you pointed out that Eddie Remayne played Stephen Hawking in 'The Theory of Everything' and managed to forget that Felicity Jones is the other lead performer in that movie. (also, that film has Charlie Cox in it, so the 3 leads went on to Star Wars, Marvel and Wizarding World). Also one of these days you should look at 'City of Lost Children' which I remember the VFX team talking up their dream smoke effect at the time.

"Super knowledgeable"? She was talking about her own work so of course she would be super knowledgeable!

This was your best react episode yet! The energy was perfect. Jordan was phenomenal, charismatic, insightful, respectful. Josee was right there at the same level as you guys; funny, enthusiastic, modest, but also a true expert. Wren was Wren, which is always a good thing. And the content was, mwah! Chef’s kiss! I love hearing about how the layering of key frame animation, displacement maps, simulation, and other things above my pay grade created a realistic air balloon in a variety of forms and distress. Keep. This. Up. Please!!! Love you folks!

Both Paddington movies are just terrific - heads and tails above most other films in the same genre - and although they shine in writing and humor and many other ways, one big part of what makes them work so well is the quality of the animation.

This episode was very grounded and humble and lighthearted (NOT saying the other episodes don't share this sentiment, but it was conversation of technical and artistic application whereas other episodes are more master teaching an apprentice). Because of this it's much more of a give and take, not just an absorption of techniques unheard of before.
