[@user-zh4vo1kw1z]

Bungholes exist, therefore aliens. Bulletproof argument if you ask me

[@bleachedbonez]

My favorite part of the Skinny Bob clip is that it implies the 8 mm digital camera is somehow using autofocus

[@RuffianTux]

And that the digital time/date stamp is in camera because the auto focus and grain are applied to the stamp.

[@muadddib]

​@@RuffianTuxno no, the timestamps are preprinted, you have to use them at the exact time they were made for, hence the frantic shaking

[@Redd0135]

Added film overlay likely

[@danilooliveira6580]

and its sad because like, it was SO CLOSE to be good, they just needed a little bit of attention to detail, knowing that old cameras don't have the digital time stamp and auto-focus. but they had to make it as hard to see as possible to hide the bad animations, and that was their downfall.

[@RedFactionMaps]

[@accumulator5734]

The problem with this idea is it’s just gonna make videos that actually are genuine be labeled as CGI even if their not and the poor people that have witnessed something amazing are going to look stupid to the public, then it’s going to cause a negative feedback loop that causes people so the STFU whether they capture something on video or not 😂.

Slight correction: Thermal images are made up of photons as well. Photons is what you call electromagnetic energy in motion. All frequencies. It's just that *visible light* frequency photons can't go through smoke, they're too high pitched. The infra-red photons are slightly lowere pitched and can zoom right through.

[@richardlaroche9167]

The hot gases released from an airplane engine will emit infrared photons. Depending on how fast these gases will cool down, there will be a certain length of trail visible in the infrared spectrum behind the plane.

[@ColinFox]

@@richardlaroche9167 I wonder about hot gasses and even airborne particulate giving off infra-red photons. You can use a thermal imaging camera to see through smoke - you don't see the smoke itself. I have a thermal camera and I'm fascinated by what gives off thermal photons and what does not. Certainly the engines themselves would be bright, but I don't kow if the exhaust gasses would be giving off infrared light. Liquids absolutely give off IR light, and it's fascinating to look at hot and cold liquids mixing, but I never see anything from steam or smoke.

[@richardlaroche9167]

@@ColinFox If the smoke is at room temperature and if the camera is calibrated to detect human body temperature, it will not be visible indeed. If the gas is hot, particular smoke or just flue gas, it will be visible on the infrared camera.

[@freescape08]

​​@@richardlaroche9167just curious if you meant "in particular, smoke" with smoke as a type of hot gas? or if it was meant to be about "hot, particulate smoke" being smoke made of particles which are all hot themselves. I suspect the latter.

[@richardlaroche9167]

​@@freescape08 Smoke is by definition a gas having solid particles in suspension. It can be hot or cold. I used the term "particular smoke" to be more precise because some people could mix things up. For example during a concert when devices produce "smoke" on stage, it's typically glycol vapor and not actually "smoke". Flue gas coming out of the chimney from a natural gas furnace will contain such a tiny amount of solid particles that it's not appropriate to qualify it as "smoke". It will essentially be hot gases (co2) and moisture. Yet, people will call it "smoke". And if it's temperature is high enough above the threshold calibration of an IR camera, you'll see it.

[@earthknight60]

The Scientists Against Myths group (check their channel, it's very good) did a 3-part multi-year deep dive into everything wrong with the "mummies" in the last clip. In brief, the "alien mummies" are parts of real Peruvian mummies that have been illegally excavated, modified, reassembled, and passed off as alien. In the z-rays you can see things like the the hands having bones removed to give the 3-fingered look, fingers being extended with bones from the removed fingers and from toes, arm and leg bones replaced with arm and leg bones from other original mummies (sometimes upside down), etc. You can also see the progression of the artificers skill over time if you look at the entire sequence of "discoveries". In addition, the guy who supposedly found them has been busted repeatedly for grave robbing, illegal trafficking in artifacts, and confidence schemes.

[@jaspervanheycop9722]

That is so awful, the Peruvian native population has suffered so many colonial horrors already, and now those same colonisers are literally stealing and mutilating their corpses for 15 minutes of fame.

[@CineSoar]

There was also the issue of the skulls being llama skulls cut in half and turned around backwards. Essentially, the 'faces' are the interior of the skulls, immediately behind the eye sockets.

[@earthknight60]

[@Vexas345]

​@@albr4Yeah, but it wasn't fair because they snuck in real UFO footage. I mean, how else could it look so good?

[@dragonfiremalus]

Gotta throw out there that photons ARE piercing the smoke. Thermal images still capture photons. It's just not in the wavelength visible to the human eye

[@dsp4392]

Yup, exactly. IR radiation is still photons.

[@CorridorCrew]

Ah fair point!

[@TheDoctorblah]

Also, all satellites don't move at the same speed relative to the surface of the earth...

[@Billsbob]

And don’t rely on veritasiums example. They were using smoke that climatizes to ambient air temp, otherwise you wouldn’t see anything. If they’d used a smoke grenade, the smoke would carry heat and as long as it is hotter than 37C/98F you wouldn’t see the person behind it. Everything has some heat, just as even dark places still have some light; the disparity in temp/light needs to be enough that the sensor doesn’t get blown out. Hence smoke from a plane has heat.

[@jkfan2011]

[@YouLittleRascal]

I want to clarify about Maussan's mummies, he presented them originally to Peru's congress and no one paid attention to him, at that time he worked with a biologist named José de la Cruz Ríos López, he presented a study that argued the skull of the mummies was a modified llama skull (or a similar animal) and the rest of the skeleton was made from several different bones from different individual humans and animals. He later commited fraud by testifying they were real. Maussan was later the MC for a congress event in Mexico were he presented the mummies again at the end, when the actual event was over; the only study done after consisted of an MRI (which he only agreed to because he had done it before in a different set of mummies, and the fabrication marks weren't obvious), and x-ray; both show the creature is complete unviable as a real living being, and that the bones not only don't have symetry, they also don't articulate with one another. The UNAM (Autonomous National University of Mexico) came forward to debunk claims of studies done on the creatures. Another test that was done, not on these two mummies, but on others from the same set, showed that different parts of the body give different C14 date results. Also, in Peru, people have come forward to talk about how they participated in making the mummies

[@LucasStraub]

Right. It's the old misconception that 12 year old kids have when they think that technology was in its infancy before they were born. It's because kids are always learning new things about the world, and they make the mistake of thinking that what's new to them is also new to everyone else. The take away here is that when you see someone write something really dumb on the internet, it's probably from a small child.

[@JoaoPaulo-th6sb]

Actually, I believe hot contrails are consistent since they are compressed by the turbofan, although cooling relatively fast due to the vapor "surface area". The contrail vapor and the vapor in the comparative video are in this state for different reasons, thus, possibly, having different properties

[@blucat4]

They botched that bit. If you watch the whole 2 hr video it turns out the plane was on fire (lithium batteries in the cargo) and those are not contrails but smoke coming from the plane, so it actually would be hot.

[@MagikGimp]

It's fitting that you covered Flight 370 considering the very recent court cases in China. It's important to point out the cruel time wasting of the hoaxers who give no hope or reconciliation to the families of the victims of the disaster, even if their 'art' is pretty good, for what it is.

Truth is, commercial aviation is not treated with respect in most of Asia. Once you start digging, you see common headlines about untrained pilots, pilots that can't communicate with air traffic control, companies that skip maintenance, and so on, in almost every Asian country.

Identified stock asset is such a good term. I’m going to think about now whenever I recognize sound effects from a library I’ve used.

[@Kahiyao]

I honestly wish this could become its own channel series moving forward. There are so many of these clips that could be debunked and they draw enormous attention and discussions. I wonder what it would take for VFX professionals to believe?

[@SpookyFan]

You might like Mick West's channel. He has explained some "UFO" videos, not necessarily regarding VFX, but by other means like recreating the flightpath of planes at a given time and location, identifying stars in the footage, parallax, bokeh, and things like that.

When y'all call out things like the alien's giant head's movement not being counterbalanced by the body, I'm always impressed by your attention to details I wouldn't have thought of nor noticed. Awareness of these details seems essential to your level of artistic skill.

Took a look at the Danny Jones Podcast episode, and there’s definitely a lot of people defending the ufologist (Ashton?). They’re claiming that Danny push backed too hard and in a disrespectful manner, but I’m not sure if this is just a bunch of ufo believers getting defensive (considering how one of Ashton’s first counter arguments is basically to say slight pixel changes in the cloud proves they’re moving, this is what I’m going with).

@@violetyg2626 there is no bridge to cross, no one is going to bother because we literally see the asset that was used. But the true believers will use the fact no one bothered to say that it can't be done, and if someone does go to the trouble of building a PC with 10 year old components and downloading vintage versions of after effects or whatever, they'll use their uninformed opinion to say it wasn't good enough or that they cheated and they're actually feds in on suppressing the truth or some nonsense like that. It happens with UFOs, 9/11, the fucking Titanic ffs. They don't want to know the truth, they want to be right because they already concluded that they are.

[@wirelesmike73]

I think I might have suggested Skinny Bob to you guys, too, a while back. Mainly because I thought it was some really good GC work from what I assume was a nonprofessional at the time. I had friends who were (and some who still are) thoroughly convinced it's real, and argued with me over it. But, I love that you pointed out the digital time stamp, on 8mm film.🤪 That's just the best. My friends tried to argue that it was the "watermark" from when it was converted from film to an official digital record... in the 50s.🙄 Some people just won't accept reality, no matter how hard it hits them.😮‍💨 Oh well. This kind of stuff is really fun, though.😏 Great video, as usual.🙂

Alright then, picture this if you will: 10 to 2 AM, X, Yogi DMT, and a box of Krispy Kremes, in my "need to know" pose, just outside of Area 51. Contemplating the whole "chosen people" thingy when a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this. Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my Birkenstocks, and me yelping... Holy f*cking shit! Then the X-Files being, looking like some kind of blue-green Jackie Chan with Isabella Rossellini lips and breath that reeked of vanilla Chig Champa, did a slow-mo Matrix descent out of the butt end of the banana vessel and hovered above my bug-eyes, my gaping jaw, and my sweaty L.

Still waiting for VFX artists react to 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'; first live action digital motion-control cinematography; multiple-pass minature effects; front-projection; cloud tank effects, the film is a masterclass of pre-CGI photographic and optical effects that still holds up today.

[@bonelesskebab2041]

Would be great if you guys tried to debunk the Kumburgaz UFO footage from 2008. On this one you can even see the little gray men in the craft!

[@RonitRaj-bl4cg]

They can't because it was real fool

[@tank2003]

Id like to point out that the alien mummies: 1.) had no structurally functional joints. Where the femur articulates with the hips, there was no means for the femur to articulate with the hips. Humans have a ball and socket joint there (same deal in the shoulder) . It just one long bone for the femur/humerus and then it just jams itself where its supposed to meet the hip 2.) No joints in the hands, elbows or knees If an alien is gonna be humanoid (walks upright, 2 arms, legs, eyes, ears and etc) then those joints HAVE to articulate and would be extremely similar to the human skeleton

[@streglof]

Can you guys do a realistic animation of how an alien with such a large head would actually move about?

[@santishorts]

Mars Attack while done intentionally cartoony, does better animated big-head aliens.

[@RedFactionMaps]

The point they made is that it's impossible without a proper body frame to hold the head up.

[@travisdk84]

Corridor crew should make their own fake UFO and bigfoot clips, release them anonymously, and then reveal/debunk them after they go viral. Would love to see the dubunkers try to make something undebunkable

[@iambiggus]

I definitely enjoy these videos from an entertainment standpoint, but I hope you also realized that these are great videos to point out to someone who needs a good debunking.

[@ClayAlmighty]

The funny thing that didn't get mentioned in the skinny bob video is the neck has a pretty clearly defined muscle or structure beneath the skin. That doesn't move at all. If you look at a human neck, you can see the muscles under the skin moving and flexing to help the head. The alien doesn't have that with an even larger muscle on the neck.

[@orangenostril]

Vestigial neck lol

[@phish__food]

Yes, because we all know that alien anatomy and physiology works just like a human's.

[@johnvonkerman]

​@@phish__foodbro this alien literally has the exact body plan as human, with slightly different proportions and you think it's a stretch that they would also have muscles in their neck they move their head?!??!? Stop with this foolishness

[@John_Smith_60]

@phish__food The point was that the alien anatomy wasn't "working" at all. Whatever the anatomy is supposed to do, it wasn't doing anything. Also, physics doesn't change if you come from another planet. No matter how different an alien's biology might be, there are still physical rules about how things can be done.

I cannot tell you how much I love this channel for so so so many reasons.

[@dracocrusher]

I just wish they weren't as crappy about AI art and crypto BS. It's cool to see experts mess around with technology, but every time they try to push their shitty AI anime project it's just so obviously forced and weird, and they REALLY don't want to admit the problems with using AI in regards to art theft or taking people's jobs and stuff for a pretty shitty looking end-project... It'd be different if they felt more honest about things, but these people have a pretty big audience of kids, you know? It's pretty crappy to try this hard to sell them on a controversial topic like that without really addressing the massive glaring problems with it.

[@jonnypope1537]

​@dracocrusher they have addressed it though, in pretty much every video they've done that uses AI. In their latest anime rock paper scissors they even paid an artist to create the concept art the AI was trained on with his consent.

[@theangryMD]

AI is here to stay whether we like it or not. adapt or get left behind, and work out the kinks as you go. just like any new landmark technology. ever.

[@dracocrusher]

@@jonnypope1537 I saw that video, but you can't just do that without talking about why people were mad and ignoring the bigger conversation about AI unironically putting people out of business or about how inconsistent and rough the final product is. Like these people unironically got an animation expert to react to their own show (which is already just kind-of bad form) and you can just feel how awkward it is as they try to say nice things about it. It's really not great. And then there was the other time when they infamously tried to use AI to "fix" existing games, which just resulted in a bunch of dolled-up photorealistic faces that don't match the style of the rest of the cutscene and completely ignore all the artistic intent of the original. I mean, their entire end-result for trying to "fix" alloy was to get rid of all the sunburn and dirt that a real artist intentionally chose to put on the character to sell the idea that she's a real grounded survivalist in a hunter/gatherer society. So big 'oops' on that one! This entire thing just never feels well thought out or sincere. It just feels like "This AI thing is hot so we should do AI stuff without addressing the big reasons why people don't ACTUALLY want AI Art to be a thing." The fact that they just casually stole art to feed their system on Vampire Hunter D in the first place for the first Anime Rock Paper Scissors episode before making people sign up to their website that they profit off of for the sequel really does feel like it shows just how divorced they are from the actual criticism and problems around this technology.

[@dracocrusher]

@@theangryMD You're completely missing the point. People don't have to have their work stolen to be fed to algorythms that replace them with half-baked bullshit. This crap is always going to be controversial and if you're not going to have the conversation over the potential VERY real negatives and downsides of the technology, then you shouldn't be pushing for its use and acceptance in visual effects. There's an unironic reason why the second studios started seriously considering using AI for scripts and films we got a massive writer/actor union strike that forced them to come to the table to regulate this stuff. And if nothing changes, the second that technology gets 'good enough' then a lot of hard working and talented people are going to get screwed over because it's simply cheaper to ask Chat GPT to write a script or to use AI to animate a scene than it is to pay real people to make a quality product with intent and meaning behind it.
