Also, he did the "Jibaro" episode in Love Death and Robots. And was the concept artist for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows opening "chasing Harry's clones" scene, especially the one where Hagrid and Harry are riding the motorbike upside down in the tunnel, and he won an Oscar for The Windshield Wiper.

[@xsimko]

Guys, I have an idea for you: invite the developers of the software that we are using to create. They've done SO much for the evolution of possibilities in CGI, they've brought so many cinematic dreams come true - they really deserve the praise and it would be interesting to hear about their workflow: gathering the needs of creators, creating functions that make our lives easier and other stuff. Please, consider this for your further episodes. Kindest regards!

Totally agree! The Jurassic Park/World films have been looked at once or twice before on this series, but there's a whole history of documentary effects to compare and contrast to as well.

Oscar has confirmed in press interviews that in most scenes, 90-95% of the suit was practical, not digital, depending on the shot. And you are correct, the eyes, cape, and sometimes the face cover were recreated in CG. And I just want to point out something you guys missed in that reflection scene... you can actually see Steven's breath fog up the glass a few moments before Marc takes control and summons the ceremonial armor, adding an extra level of realistic perception to the shot when-as mentioned by Joe-there was likely no glass actually there during filming.

[@strukovets]

In the film "Gravity" fogging from breathing on the glass of the spacesuit was drawn, there is no limit to computer graphics in skilled hands)

[@TheTyPEonER]

So,... Oscar has been misleading you here :) .....Even if they did shoot with the practical suit, in the Mr Knight scenes it has been replaced near entirely in the vast majority of the shots. One thing you or Joe didn't account for is...cleanliness :) ...Try to shoot stunt scenes in a muddy, wet back-alley over multiple takes and keep that suit pristine. Good luck with continuity!! :D So, yeah, the suit is actually full CG in 90% of those shots. And the fact we're still debating it makes it pretty impressive from the VFx team.

[@crispychrissy]

@@TheTyPEonER I wouldn’t say misleading, he was wearing the suit pretty much the whole time. If they… dressed it up a bit and added some fluff to the outside of it with CG, it still doesn’t negate the fact that he’s actually wearing a physical costume.

Alberto Mielgo, the director/artist of "The Witness," (which he won an Emmy for) was one of the original conceptual artists for "Into the Spider-Verse," but for whatever reason he was let go when Lord & Miller came onboard.

So much more is possible with Hollywood money and the ability to innovate with it, so it's fully understandable how they might not even think of the approaches he talks about.

You could totally do a CGI artists react dedicated entirely to Love, Death + Robots. The more photorealistic ones like Lucky 13, the stylized ones like Blindspot and The Very Pulse Of The Machine. Maybe even a comparison between Three Robots and Three Robots: Exit Strategies in order to see how the animation improved.

I never saw the small crescent into full moons inside of Mark/Stephen's eyes when he transforms in front of the bus until now! Such a fine beautiful detail

[@BeckerFlag]

Joe's a great guest. He's like their CGI episode version of what Gui is for the stunt ones.

[@sloganwade4994]

On the Attack Of The Clones DVD bonus disc, there's a whole featurette where they go over the marrying of animation with cloth sim in pretty good depth, with interviews and examples from the artists.

[@kareemortega617]

Also breakdancing yoda

[@angryITGuy]

Having Joe on is always good value. His insights are brilliant.

[@Gabreya]

WOW. Great episode! As always, it’s always great to see Clint back!

[@thespellbinder1852]

I'd love to hear the Corridor Crew's reaction to the new She-Hulk trailer.

They're gonna rip the hell out of it

[@uncleharm8893]

The vfx aren't finished, it's a trailer. Watch their reaction to Clifford the Big Red Boi

[@forbiddencroisant]

@@uncleharm8893 for every phase four project (except for NWH) the trailer chi has not been changed at all. None of the bad trailer cgi from MoM, Black Widow, Moon Knight, Shang Chi, Eternals, Falcon and the Winter Soldier was changed before the release.

[@MrBurnthetrees]

Yeah we need a break down on why she looks so weird for sure.

[@HoratioCaineFan]

it's so great watching the beginning of this and knowing that Moon Knight's costumes were BOTH practical. like... 97% practical. it's fascinating.

[@traviswebb6564]

This was an awesome episode. Joe brings such amazing insight!! MORE JOE

[@crash7800]

Killer, subtle focus joke at 4:29 - love it

[@kylebergner1360]

You guys should really do the “Love Death and Robots” stuff. Especially “Jibaro”

[@loopie207]

Jibaro was hands down my favortie

[@angelfigueroa6825]

I love this episode because instead of them having Joe work through shots he did they instead have him explaining how he would do it based on his experience. It had a sort of mentory feel to it.

[@omfgblondie]

It's basically a normal episode, but with someone who has way more experience.

[@WandererByNature]

That was good, fun episode... was good to have Clint back . Well done guys as always😀

[@julianleischner3700]

I'm not sure right now how good/bad the movie did VFX wise but Small Soldiers is a movie that I remember from my childhood and that I'd love you guys to look at.

[@zhengyingli]

Since you guys took a look at Moon Knight's cape, how about making an episode all about CGI capes such as cape flaps in Zack Snyder's movies?

[@c.g.vonhagenstein7576]

And for the lulz, the old Spawn cgi cape hehe.

[@changsangma1915]

One thing that looked off in Snyder Cut JL is Darkseid. A scene where he faces Desaad to say 'anti life has been found' looked nearly at a quality level to match & rival Thanos closeup facial shots, but then the initial reveal by rotating from the leg to his upper body showed such obvious fake-ness like a playstation cut scene.

[@blissfullycat02]

It's the one thing I loved about the Amazing Spiderman films over the other two versions is that the suit had real life imperfections (best bit is when Andrew Garfield, or the animated version of him, jumps from up high and his arms go back and you see some bunching of the fabric in the back as his shoulder blades lift back) So glad you guys talked about that...

[@veverse8891]

Hi corridor crew, thx for another banger of a react video! In case you happen to read this, there is one thing I would LOVE to hear your take on, if you're willing to jump into this particular rabbit hole: The darth jar jar theory. It sounds silly at first, but becomes more and more believable the more info you find/read. Some of the most compelling arguents for it are based on specific special effects, so it would be amazing to hear your reaction / debunking or confirming of these. Keep it up! Cheers

[@RealAndySkibba]

Given the recent "moaning" She Hulk trailer would be great to react to.

[@TheWayBesst]

Everything about the Yoda scene from Attack of the Clones is amazing. The way Yoda stares Dooku down, how he moves his cloak to reveal the lightsaber, the way the camera moves, the epic soundtrack and the higher pitch sound effect of his lightsaber. Oh, and his impeccable dialogue, “if so powerful you are, why leave?” AMAZING

[@TheStrykerProject]

I do hope Joe Farrell comes back again! His insights are SO helpful.

[@graefx]

I always remember the bts on that Yoda fight with GL working with the animators to get the particular look he wanted. With the simulation, the robe kept wrapping around has he spun and GL asked for it to fly out to make it more visually pleasing

[@calebmccoy9685]

The lake scene in Violet Evergarden Ep 7 is a great marrying of CG water, background artistry, and a hand animated character and interaction with the water. The whole show is a beautiful masterpiece of almost every frame having to look great.

[@wereboarder2009]

Kyoto animations outdid themselves with that series.

[@mywifeisabugatti.2513]

I think Corridor Crew needs to react to more anime

[@mrgreatbigmoose]

They asked an author of Star Wars novels how they would have written the Yoda/Tyrannus duel. The suggestion was stillness and total control. The whirling Yoda would then have been saved for Yoda/Sidious.

[@EdK-Music]

That would've been such a unexpected reveal with Yoda being calm and in control for this fight, and then going full sicko mode with Sidious

[@macsmith2013]

Whirling Yoda was a mistake in the first place. Having a wise, distinguished Yedi Master bouncing around like a rubber ball with a tiny cute lightsaber was one of the more embarrassing moments of the prequels.

[@Henrik_Holst]

@@macsmith2013 it was horrible and embarrassing at the same time. IMHO he should just use his Jedi powers there and not a light saber at all with his tiny stature.

[@jasonblalock4429]

I'm cool with bouncing spinning Yoda. I like the idea that he has a completely idiosyncratic style built around him being absolutely tiny. He's like a dwarf wrestler on crack. Plus the implication that he isn't even using his muscles, and is basically puppeteering himself via the Force. So why not turn himself into a green whirlwind of death? It might look a little silly, but it'd be terrifying IRL.

[@user-xx6vy9ri8p]

@@macsmith2013 Because a wise Jedi Master crawling to Luke's food box and giggling is not embarrssing at all...but a Jedi master using Jedi signature weapon and Jedi fighting style to protect his friends and stop the war is awful...I can't with you people.

[@Borcheltski]

If you guys get the chance, during the big eruption on “Dante’s Peak” there is the VFX of the town being destroyed, but there is a quick segment where they forgot to do the blue screening. You see the blue screen instead of the town being destroyed.

[@BWayne-si9ev]

Good timing on this because the same director of “The Witness” was given another episode on Love Death Robots for season 3 and it’s fucking breathtaking.

[@JokerCrowe]

Was that the episode "Jibaro"? Because I thought I recognized the style.

[@vinjass]

I bet it's the weird "Conquistadors going contemporary-dance-bloodlust by a jewel mermaid" one

[@duffinky2237]

There was a sequence in The Staircase on HBO, where following his indictment, Michael and his family are on their way to the police station. The camera does this topsy turvy movement going between closeups of each of the three cars - it looks practical, but also seems impossible. It’s not a show with a lot of VFX so would love to see how they pulled that off.

[@thebigshep]

After watching The Witness for the first time, I started following Alberto Mielgo's other work, and he became my favourite animator. I really want him to do a Transmetropolitan adaptation, but idk if he'd want to

[@thebigshep]

@Henzo8i8 oh I'm well aware, Jibaro is probably my new favorite episode of the series! Bad Traveling was awesome too

[@jmikeguerra]

There's plenty of behind the scenes featurettes for the Star Wars prequels, particularly CG Yoda. In fact, they DID add in some subtle ear twitching to emulate the puppet quirks. Go back and watch the BTS DVD for AOTC.

[@HyperFreak89]

I saw Everything Everywhere All At Once yesterday and now you have to do an episode of vfx artists react AND a stuntmen react episode! Both the effects and the stunts/fights were sooo good! Please! You haaave to!

[@ethai1]

One of main reasons I wait for Saturdays is new episodes from you guys! I'd love to see you react to: Spiderman 1 VFX Spiderman 3 VFX - Sandman effects, Venom effects (even compare it to Venom from 2018/2021) Silent Hill 2006 - Some effects in this film were impressive back in the day and still look good! The otherworld transitions are great examples, and the creatures designs, some of which were enhanced with cgi if I remember correctly. Fight Club intro - One of my favorite film intros!

[@skyer0blue]

As an Australian, I always love seeing other Australians doing well, so absolutely loved this episode! More Joe Farrell please!! ❤❤

[@herioza3240]

Love Death and Robots Season 3!!! They had some amazing episodes that looked visually stunning!! Some next level stuff i would love to see you react to!

[@FFLightning]

I would love to see a VFX breakdown of AppleTV+ Prehistoric Planet. The VFX are just stunning.

[@dragonson04]

Love Death and Robots! MORE OF THEM, PLEASE. Sonnie's Edge, Secret War, Beyond the Aquila Rift, Shape-Shifters, Lucky 13, Snow in the Desert, and Jibaro for Photo-realism and Night of the Mini dead for fun.

[@DanielVerberne]

That's so cool you've watched them all, so have I. By the way, the "Night of the Mini Dead" was interesting because it used the camera effect "Tilt Shifting", or at least an imitation of it; to give the impression of things being tiny within the image.

[@dragonson04]

@@DanielVerberne Yeah. It makes me wonder if they animated at full size, and then applied the tilt shift

[@samcler722]

You guys need to react to the She-Hulk trailers. There’s a lot of talk about the CGI

[@HrTjernobyl]

They can't since they're in bed with Marvel now

[@mattbuszko]

right when he's talking about how the practical suit in Moon Knight needs to match the width/girth of what will become CG, so they don't "grab through" something, it shows an example of exactly that - a weird "grab through." You can see how it needed to be adjusted. At around 7:04

[@hayesking]

Another great episode, I would love to see a deep dive into rotoscope animation, from Undone, A Scanner Darkly and Waking life, and what came before, and what technologies are around to do this now.

[@tvk270]

Joe Farrell brings so much insight. I love listening to him talk Also that Love Death Robots ep was def one of my favorites. I liked Sonnie's Edge a lot too from season 1

[@williamcutts8060]

Also maybe it’s late but I would love to see some stuff from Agents of SHIELD! The May vs. May fight from s4e2, the building explosion in s6e1 (same building from parks and rec which is funny to think about). The show has great vfx and great stunt work.

[@jkellyid]

Moon night is a interesting example of a show that has some really clever VFX implementation and some very poor CG and other action elements at times. What's really impressive is how many effects shots are actually in the show that you don't realize, they don't appear to be effect shots. But then the ones that you notice. Oh boy, they're pretty rough.

[@zzirfamo24]

Yea and I don’t understand how does Disney/marvel not have enough budget for it??
