Maybe a weird question, In spite of that, I saw an episode of yours which was about rejuvenation, actors being made younger through special effects. Are these techniques and perhaps you also ever approached by the police, FBI? To help with cold cases?

[@tmcleanful]

Going to take advantage of the fact that this has only one view and one reply to beg the Corridor Crew to do a VFX episode that focuses on James Gunn's Peacemaker series, Eagly the Eagle, and that whole show. Or at least talk about it in one of the VFX shows - would love to see what the crew think of Eagly, who was entirely CG but very photorealistic.

[@EbonyPope]

The amount of debris depends on the size of the model. But only will there be a lot more debris with a bigger model but the explosion itself will look much more realistic. No matter what you do with CG a real explosion always looks better.

One reason to have Mark Hamill on set is because he would know the character choices to make. How Luke would raise his hand or turn his head and why. A good actor will think about his character's posture, or where his eyes would look and for what reasons. I might be able to stand like a Jedi, but I wouldn't know what Luke's feeling or why. I'd need to understand the character better.

[@KneelB4Bacon]

This. I can't believe they didn't use any of Hamill's footage. What better motion-capture reference could you possibly have than the original actor?

One aspect of the aliens ray gun I loved in War of the Worlds is how when the ray sweeps across something it doesn’t INSTANTLY destroy it. A micro second goes by and it’s destroyed, but I love that tiny pause. It makes me think the energy is being instantly compressed and released, it’s so small but such an interested design choice and it makes the scene really stand out in a small way.

[@TokyoXtreme]

First seen in the Nausicaa anime, I believe.

[@mememaster147]

In the book the aliens use 'heat rays' (IR lasers? Masers?) so it'd take a moment for it to cook the target. There's loads of scenes that are straight out of the book like the train going past on fire or clothes fluttering down out of the sky.

You guys should really do The Expanse. The show has thousands of visual effects and they mostly Al correspond to realistic physics. The build brilliant sets and then augment them with vfx elements. The VFX improve a lot between season one and season five, so you should pick a could from each to compare.

Ben Burtt used a lot of super interesting techniques for the Star Wars movies, even if you can't get him, someone who could explain sound design properly would know them very well. Also Randy Thom (who did The Incredibles) has written a lot about sound design theory and so makes it easy to break down his work

[@swanclipper]

there are a bunch of FOLEY ARTISTS on youtube who you could pitch this to. Corridor Crew are visual creators. "foley artists" are responsible for making most, if not all the sounds in movies you hear. from footsteps, to doors shutting and other impossible sounds for things that don't actually exist like citidel space ships and star destroyers. sliding doors from star trek is just paper being slid across paper. most of the time, "bone breaks" are merely snapping vegetables like carrots/leaks. let Foley Artists get some credit where they are professionals instead of getting visual creators to explain something they aren't focused on. (chances are, Corridor Crew use a library of premade sounds for their creations.... unless they have a Foley Artist department dedicated to creating thier personal sound effects)

[@AndreInfanteInc]

I'm a little surprised that they started with a deepfake and then painted over it for Luke. In my mind, the main problem with deepfakes is that if the underlying skull shape is different, the face doesn't end up aligned correctly, and isn't necessarily perspective-correct. You end up with similar features, but the silhouette and size of the face can be pretty different. If that had been my job, I think my strategy would have been to try and construct a very accurate 3D model of young Luke's head, have Mark Hamill do facial capture to drive the face, then track the CG head onto the stand-in's head, with the original head painted out. You make it as realistic as you can (including your best photorealistic hair sim). Now you have plates with CG young Luke's face, so the skull shape and silhouette are as close as possible, and you can train a model to deepfake *that* CG head back onto the archival footage of young Luke, to fix the subtle issues with the CG that are super difficult to fix by hand. You can then also use your models to get high-fidelity plates for matting out the hair, so you don't have blurry deepfake hair giving the game away.

[@flewkisdead]

I think you are sort of describing what they did. Based on the limited clips, they definitely did facial capture with Mark. They basically replaced the stand-in's head by doing so many passes over the deepfake.

[@cjcalloway6087]

That’s actually a really good idea, while it’s not technically movie stunts it is stunts in a way, so it would be a very interesting episode

[@EVAUnit4A]

Hear, hear! The floor of the stage bounces, so that absorbs quite a bit of it. I'm guessing the collapsible chairs are plastic with some kind of impact-absorbing coating (rubber?), and the sound is added in post-production to make you _think_ the chair is metal when it's actually not. Also, notice how when one wrestler his another inside of the arena stage they stomp their foot at the same point where the blow lands on their opponent-?

[@MrRedx55]

John Morrison would be a great choice, he has done both action movies and wwe stuff

[@Vesperitis]

@@EVAUnit4A the floor doesn't bounce as much as you think, and it really depends on the region. Mexican rings tend to be harder because luchadors are more about the flips, and they need more stability. The old school WWF rings were basically as hard as concrete. The chairs are 'gimmicked' but are mostly still metal. Also chairshots to the head have mostly been phased out in mainstream wrestling due to concussion issues, with only the occasional blow to the body being used. As any veteran would tell you, "there is no good way to take a chairshot". And yes, there are stomps and leg slaps to sell the impact of a blow, when actually the punch or kick is not making full impact. That does not mean there is no impact (I recently saw a picture of a wrestler who bit off the side of his tongue due to a mistimed kick to the face), and again, it depends on regions. Japanese Strong Style wrestlers hit a lot harder than Western ones, since a lot of them come from legitimate MMA backgrounds, and it's what's popular there.

If Lucasfilm had to make that shot today, it would look way better simply because of the advancements in programing and technology.
