Nowadays, with computer generated imagery, it's a lot easier to achieve supernatural FX in movies. But, back in the day when computers were still figuring out how to CGI, moviemakers would often have to come up with many weird and wonderful techniques in order to achieve the desired effect while still looking halfway decent.
And I can't think of a better example to demonstrate some of these ingenious techniques than the Indiana Jones movies.
So, in this video we're going to answer these questions and also discover just why the original Indiana Jones films turned out to be as good as they are!

I would agree. Some of the non-CGI objects themselves didn't look all that realistic - but even the best actor can't run away from a CGI boulder nearly as convincingly as he can an actual boulder. Even if it's made out of plaster - at least it has something to actually run away from.

@Mats Nilson - You can't blame them, though. As the CGI technology advances, so does the cost to have it done. Movies don't have as long of a theatrical run as they used to, and the days of yesteryear DVD/DVR Tape sales has dramatically changed to the point it's too much of a financial risk to do laborious practical effects with no idea it's return. Even Top Gun: Maverick's financial department choose to do without specially written soundtrack songs in order to save money for other areas of production, even though the model worked for the original movie.

Watch Temple of doom on bluray on a 4K tv and the mine car sequence will look so awful that you will never watch that movie ever again.In fact every other special effect in that movie looks just as terrible. Including the scene where the man has his heart removed from his chest and then being burned alive. A scene that offended some annoying parents so much at the time the movie came out that Speielberg invented the awful PG13 rating, that has ruined so many movies. And later made the awful fourth movie that was so kiddie friendly that it could be watched by 5 year old kids.

Fun Fact: the full-sized U boat practical in Raiders of the Lost Ark was borrowed from the production of Das Boot. Unfortunately, when the Das Boot production got it back, it started falling apart in the middle, then was swept away during a major storm in La Rochelle. When it appeared listing and half-sunk in the end of Das Boot, that wasn't something the production had to do. It really was that beat up by then.

The "face melting" of Major Toht at the end of "Raiders" became so popular among VFX makers that it started popping up all over the place. The one I can think of off the top of my head was the face transformation in the original "Critters". The bounty hunter aliens are supposed to be able to change their appearance to that of different humans, but rather than simply do progressive makeup or a puppet head, they went all the way with the face melting and then "unmelting" into the new shape.

I saw a cut of Raiders about six weeks before its release. There were no credits, but except for including the periscope footage which was ultimately cut, it was pretty much finished by then. Temple was another story. Lots of unfinished effects, no opening scene (the musical number) at all, and missing ADR. The really cool thing was, however, that the cut I saw included footage of Cate Capshaw's heart getting ripped out. I was floored when I saw it, and not at all surprised to see it removed in final release. In the final cut, you can tell that there's some missing time there, and later at the end she even says that getting her heart ripped out isn't her idea of a good time.

Yes and no!! The degree of control over the image they had back in Temple of Doom era was one element over the other. With CGI they have control down to the smallest pixel of the image. But there was an instant abandonment of techniques that still worked and a belief that CGI could solve every problem. Just go and look at Air Force One. The CGI dept convinced the producers that they could do a 747 plane crash better than a practical model. The result was atrociously awful. The CGI dept had no idea what they were doing. And the result looked like a joke.

" and dare I say cheap". Nothing daring about that - the reason we use cgi is because its cheap - compared to earlier ways of doing the same things. Otherwise we'd still be using those techniques. CGI didn't takeover because it was better (as most early cgi effects films (and many more recent ones) make abundantly clear - it took over because movie accountants found it far more palatable; it both cost less and still looked like it cost the same - so better for the bottom line and better for tax-dodging (pretend it cost more than it did and claim it). Win-win.

They were at the top of perfecting models and miniatures when CGI came in to replace all of that. We of that generation were always amazed at the realism. Younger film enthusiasts seemed to be surprised at all of this practical effects technology. CGI made a big splash with Jurassic Park, which was amazing at the time. But, I think it's been overused since then. It seems that the moviemakers of today are making movies with only CGI in mind, rather than the telling a good story.

And Jurassic Park was made by the same director as the Indy movies. He used lots of practical effects like miniatures and robotic puppets mixed with the cgi, even within the same scenes, and it all blended together so seamlessly its still hard to pick out which shots are cg. Even the best cg falls short when it's oversaturated because it begins to look like a video game.

Its a shame too, because 3d printing the way it is, you could make miniatures easier than ever. And if they were a bit more inventive they could flawlessly mix cgi and practical, after all they have the 3d cgi model of the plane, why not print it out, and use it in shots where they can, then use the cgi where needed. If they were clever enough you really would totally struggle to know what was real and wasnt.

I loved learning about these things when I was a kid. Now CGI can just do it all (yes I know there are some artists working hard). But in the Pre-CG days they had to become really inventive. Building new types of cameras, figuring what film stocks work, how many levels of optical compositing you could do before it because too grainy to use etc. I think part of the reason Indy 4 was terrible (aside from Shia LaBeouf), is because since they had so much money, and CG artists can do everything, there was an overreliance on CGI which made for more unrealistic situations. With full on practical, and even old fashioned hand drawn post-production, they had to be frugal about where they spent their money, what would work and what wouldn't, so were able to craft something truly amazing. This is sort of the problem with the Star Wars "prequels" as well. Too much money and no actual real limitations to make the artists and engineers really creative. Don't even talk about Indy 5, it's already going to be a woke sh*tshow.
@ShamrockParticle

^^this CGI has been a long-built craft, trailblazing and doing a lot to make photorealistic items that blend in seamlessly with the live action sets, props and actors. An early use of it mixing with live action and practical effects was in "Death Becomes Her", but the use of masking and greenscreen (or blue or yellow) was the earliest and most important aspects regardless of effects type. CGI is very respectable but prior to it, there was a lot more that had to be done. And it's all amazing.
@Uhfgood
@Uhfgood Жыл бұрын
@@ShamrockParticle - I'm not even saying that cgi isn't very good these days, I'm simply saying this pre-cg vfx was pure genius. See with CG it's a lot of math, once you've figured out the math, it's less about trying to come up with ingenious solutions to tough problems about how to put stuff up on screen. For instance there's a difference between an audio producer at the mixing board trying to come up with an appropriate mix for a band that works on the majority of audio systems and someone at home adjusting their equalizer for their best hearing experience. I can probably get an album to sound a bit better based on my own hearing and equipment by messing with the equalizer. But an audio mixer, has to be a lot more inventive to get it to a point, where you don't really have to use an equalizer to get a decent sound, or in cases where you don't have that kind of control. There's a kind of knowledge/experience/intelligence required for the audio mixer to do his craft, where as me, it's just pulling levers. I'm not even saying the computer scientists couldn't have come up with ingenious math solutions in order for a particular effect to work, but then once it's done, once you get to a point, then the "artist" down the line just has to pick the correct levers to pull. Now you do have certain skill you need to do something good in a reasonable amount of time in Blender, but in general to get to the level of real the computer scientists have to create all the math that goes into the modelling, or animation (interpolation?), or even the add ons that make it easier for us non-techs to "pull the levers" so-to-speak. We also have a bit of a problem with "cg look" which seems to cover a lot of the effects, they all tend to start looking the same, and don't exactly look quite real, but that's more along the lines of everyone using the same techniques, and what not (using the same software etc). When it comes to color grading, everybody that does a vfx shot, tends to make everything dark or somewhat tinted a certain way. Originally it was called "color timing" or even just straight up "color correction" back in actual film days, because they would do a chemical color-grading, that would essentially take many different pieces of film and chemically treat the film copies such so that they would look consistent. Because each time a scene was filmed there would be a myriad of reasons why they would all look different. I believe the word 'timing' has to do with timing how long the film is in a certain chemical to get a certain look, higher/lower contrast, saturation, etc... But now with the digital handling everything, you're back to pulling levers. When the software can do all the visual changes to the video, then now you're not coming up with inventive ways to make it look consistent, you're just trying to achieve a look. In most cases is just making everything dark and possibly desaturated. Does that make sense?

We knew it wasn't CGI back then because no computer could do these effects in the 1970s. This was what real film making was. Passion, talent and art.

Raiders came out in '81 and Temple of Doom in '84, so there was really no CGI in the 80's, too.

Of course, ILM - Industrial Light & Magic - by far and away the best in the business. The creativity and the lengths they had to go to in order for the effects to work and hold up so many years later are mindblowing!

This is amazing. there's a ton of nineties movies that have effects that can't even match Indy effects that were created ten+ years earlier.

Many of these amazing procedures came from the limitations they had back then. When an artist is limited, they'll use their imagination and creativity to fill the gaps.

I was 84 when Raiders came out. I'm still here. My son, grandsons, and my mom are so excited for everything. I can't wait to see what 2024 has to give. Who else loves Indiana Jones? My dad loved these movies.

Spielberg and Lucas always did their best work when they had the most limitations. With visual limitations, you have to have your actors sell it (Jaws). When they are presented with an unlimited (kinda) budget and unlimited computer visual effect, the movies seem to lose focus. Instead of being a story about characters in a setting, it becomes a setting with some characters.

Are you sure they filmed the boulder scene a number of times. I had always heard it was covered by multiple cameras and he did it once or twice. The multiple cameras would supply many angles to use and also to extend the stunt's length further than it really was.
