Hit By a Car (Using VFX)

[@ihassan1001]

I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say you have no idea how much I love you guys and your channel....your channel is one of my biggest inspiration to be a filmmaker

[@plotcoalition]

THE NEW TURBULENT DISPLACEMENT SONG HAS MADE ME WEAK Seriously, this episode is so purely Film Riot and I am here for it. (Also, I remember all the way back from that first car hit tutorial lol been subbed a long-ass time)

[@TheAcSstudio]

is it new tho? vocals seemed bit more pronounced but thought it was same one

[@theKiroo]

10 years ago I was watching your videos to learn about diy movie making. I almost get emotional everytime you guys reference something from those times. You helped me getting a perfect score on my graduation project back then! Lots of love from Switzerland

[@elliotmarks06]

As a blender user, I am super happy to see it getting recognition and tutorials from some of my favorite channels! Nice video, and I will probably be trying this out sometime soon!

[@x-xsharkix-x]

I subbed to this channel a while ago back when I had my old account because I wanted to make short movies. Here I am a few years later no longer wanting to do that but still loving this channel for the great fun this channel is! Ryan and Josh always seem to make me laugh, thanks for all the great content and fun tutorials!

[@WEHAVETHISDREAM]

Hey! Why you gave up????

[@x-xsharkix-x]

@@WEHAVETHISDREAM just didn’t have the time, I make music in my spare time now

[@WEHAVETHISDREAM]

@@x-xsharkix-x That is also nice. Me too :) Wish you all the best!

[@-saca-1297]

"I need a cup" what a great line

[@umarnaq]

This was a 100% Film Riot episode, loved it! Also, thanks for that outro I didn't know I needed!

[@neonmammals]

I love this throw back to OG filmriot. Ive been watching since around the time of the first ever Car hit.... You guys are rocking it!

[@LM-vs9vd]

That video years ago got me into AfterEffects and VFX for the first time as a teen. Now I’m thankfully working in the industry in part thanks to you guys. You’ve been doing an incredible work, thanks a ton!!!

[@Kriscoart]

Wasn’t expecting it to be this in depth! There were so many good gems here 🙌🔥

[@SpirusFilms]

Great seeing you guys dig into Blender - such powerful software. For an easier time modeling photoreal assets like the garage door, Ian Hubert has a great technique using the Import Images as Planes addon and creating simple geometry with those image textures. Very convincing results with proper light and shadow already built in

[@jowprower8467]

Hi Ryan...I just wanted to say that your guys are amazing ..I'm 17 years old and I'm having alot of psychological issues...I'm always suffering from thinking of consequences...what will happen to my future...am I going to fail...do I ever will go to my world(outside of Arabs,,,USA UK )...I'm 17 years old studying bachelor BTW...you and your brother josh helped me to pass alot of psychological proplems...one of them is the fear of failing... I watched your video that you made on this concept and helped alot...there is a lot of things that I want to talk about but I dunno where to start...OK anyway...you and josh gave me hope of people that I want to meet in life...successful people who have a value...I'm admiring your videos from 2009 and up every time I watch them I obtain enormous positive energy...love you all so much..don't stop what you doin...your Amazing..

[@DestrinProductions]

Damn, the time you put into these! I'll never know how to do this. I watch the tutorials anyways, but y'all just too good.

[@ong3r1]

I've been subbed for 10 years now. The flashbacks at 1:27 got me really nostalgic

[@mosog8829]

Am glad this was done mostly in Blender. That makes it easy to follow the tutorial.

[@brandonsimmonsmedia]

I don't think the "turbulent displacement" gag will ever get old haha. Enjoyed the updated dance video for it though lol.

[@ericsantoro4541]

You guys are awesome! I've been watching since the beginning, and I love that when you do vex breakdowns you tell us WHY you do certain things. It really helps me retain the info so I don't have to go back and scrub through content every time I want to do something new.

As soon as Roxette started playing I knew it had to have something to do with their sponsor, recognizable music absolutely makes a huge difference

[@rendered_useless2093]

Man I remember your first car hit tutorial like over 10 years ago, awesome to see how you've taken it to the next level now :-)

[@WEHAVETHISDREAM]

Wow, 10 years, man... Remember sitting in my parent's garage, in my wannabe studio, back then. Filming on a 1.2 megapixel camera.

[@tsoupakis]

that song never gets old.. i still remember the competition around it

[@JeremyVeleber]

I got hit by a car while running about 6 months ago. It was surreal. It was low speed but fast enough that I couldn't get out of the way. It was like being scooped up and then launched off a ramp. It was a car (not an SUV or truck) so it hit my legs first and put me on the hood of the car. The car was turning so I exited where the hood met the windshield. Time seemed to be really slow and then I'm laying in the middle of the intersection trying to figure out how hurt I am. In the end I had a big bruise on my leg, scrapes on my leg, arms and shoulder and some torn fingernails. My phone that was in my pocket took paint off the hood and put a good size dent in it. I think that is also what caused the bruise on my leg. TL;DR It would be cool to see this idea from the perspective of the person being hit and all of the thoughts and emotions that happen in an instant but to the victim are experienced fully.

[@craigbaker6382]

Fun! I like how you guys play. I feel compelled to comment on a telltale flaw with regards to the look of the car hit. A friend was struck by a car on a film set, for real, while, as a camera assistant, he was in the middle of using a car hood as a platform on which he could re-load a 35mm film camera. He survived. He was standing in front of a parked car and many cars back an actor went off course an struck a car which struck the car in front which struck the car my friend was in front of. So the hit was similar to what you are portraying here. My friend was thrown many feet. What he remembers clearly wasthe grill hitting his groin and , due to momentum, his head being spun down instantly as his body pivoted about the pelvis/impact point and rotated his forehead down as his legs were taken well back much faster. His head bounced off the hood (which he dented!) and then his head had to follow his feet. Stand a doll up and then swing a stick at a crotch level impact point. The doll does not remain vertical. You spin it. The added momentum does take the whole thing in the direction of the swing but not as a tidy vertical. Your effect shows your rig remaining upright after the hit. People are basically like bags of water+ a bit of jello and some sticks inside. You can probably picture now how likely it would have been that someone hit like that would remain upright and move all in one "rigid" vertical orientation: not . BUT I love what you guys are up to and the spirit of these videos which still make me laugh.

[@MrRobEstes]

Man, you guys are awesome!

[@superheroculture9396]

You guys are one of the professionals artists on youtube ....💥💥💥

[@hi_jaykloud]

Hey Film Riot I need help! What keyboard shortcut do you use to make hit bones at 7:50 I’ve been a subscriber for a few years now and I am stuck at this part of the tutorial please help I did some blender 101s but I can’t remember how to get to that menu. I’d greatly appreciate your assistance 🙏

[@ferocious2962]

This is crazy...loved it man!

[@InstaAE]

I've wanted a proper tutorial on a digital double for years, I've never found a good one until now. Thank you sooooooo much, Ryan! This is perfect.

[@dokydukic]

Great episode! Any alternative software for photogrametry for windows?

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

Blender got me back into vfx and back into this channel and it’s cool to see you guys using it ive been a fan since I saw your diy dolly video in 2013

[@timparsons3565]

As a long-time fan, I definitely shed a tear during Josh's sad flashback. I miss Josh's inanity from behind the camera. This episode felt like classic Film Riot.

[@shimmysocol5387]

THIS episode hit so good!!!!

[@VCLAagency]

Our brain exploded watching this.. oh my! Good thing we have great editors :O

[@jordiher22chanel33]

Wow i was thinking on doing this effect this days and then you have uplouded this video. We are conected!!😂😂

[@TheFPSChannel]

Can’t get enough interjection. It’s how I fell in love with this channel. ❤️

[@ishkavielle]

I love this

[@A_Salty_Fishe]

Yeah I didn't need fancy VFX to experience this...

[@JacobCarlson]

OMG I literally listened to Luts with Butts yesterday. SO GOOD

[@JayLippman]

I’m gonna have to watch this again like 8000 times. Been trying to get more into blender so I can do stuff like this. It’s crazy that this is even possible now without a huge budget and a massive render engine.

Amazing 🔥🔥😎

[@ricktophin6818]

Man this was awesome. I definitely laughed at the end. The rag doll effect was hilariously brilliant. This vid is great.

[@JoeLiningToolFilms]

Turbulent displacement is one of those things that continues to get better over time

[@moritzproductions8616]

awesome episode. that turbulent displacement had me laughing like i dint for a long time :)

[@topicruben]

LOL! That was amazing. I actually thought the dent on the garage door was real!

[@34zporlier10]

I’m pretty sure forgetting to scan the top of the head is a standard practice when photo scanning someone. So you nailed that part!

[@johnstuart2246]

you guys are so funny. Please don't stop doing this!

[@AndresMarrero]

Love it. I really like and enjoy your videos. They are really helpful for me. Thank you guys. You made my day 🔥🔥🔥

[@CinematicCaptures]

This vid was a major throwback

[@AnAnimatorsWorld]

no

[@CinematicCaptures]

@@AnAnimatorsWorld Clearly you were never around in the early days of Filmriot

[@AnAnimatorsWorld]

@@CinematicCaptures no = not being an early fan???

[@livecarsonreaction]

I wasn't ready for 3D Josh to be a real thing on April Fool's day

[@FXFlicks]

Bravo , Blender , A generous superhero

[@bryanbakker]

You guys have the best humor!

[@shotbymiggy]

if it werent foir u guys idk where id be love everything yall do !

[@stivosaurus]

That opening scene is both appalling and hilarious. The cartoon physics and blood splatter is what does it. I was shocked and laughing at the same time!

[@egotisticalflame]

I was so confused, I was just watching the video and noticed the familiar notes of Nightmare by Easy Life's base track in the background and I rushed to the description looking for where you got it hoping I could snag it for free, only for the Lickd sponsorship to roll like 5 seconds later. I was so excited to use that track for free, damn.

[@DEADLINETV]

Old Skool content, with up to date info! Tjeeezzz I'm still 10 years behind! Great video tho!

[@DatFunnyPerson]

the music skits are completly descending me

[@yetanotherfilmchannel5766]

That Oliver Tree song is literally my favorite right now! Lol funny how much it fits

[@AnimationGoneWrong]

Great how-to video, guys! I'm always impressed at the amount of details you include. Thanks for these.❤

[@BogeySighted]

As always very funny and informative 🔥🙏

[@babyave]

THAT NEW TURBULENT DISPLACE SCENE THOUGH!

[@soulfaktor]

It must have been love...!

[@olsonspeed]

Digital turbulent displacement Josh is both hideous and hilarious.

[@abdshamel]

love you guys

[@ovmediagroup5243]

Lol when they added the interjection montage lmao 😭😭😭

Turbulence Displacement 😂😂😂

[@tremseditz2595]

You guys are really Amazing

[@RumleKjaer]

Love the episode guys!!

[@vfx_jon]

Also props to Justin for standing in a river for a gag!!!!!

[@alexmazurek18]

So, so great.

[@dasmeisterlein]

Turbulent Displacement just became a turbulent nightmare

[@eduardorojaskischkel]

Laughing so hard at the Turbulent Displacement part with the crazy Josh animation and the creepy smile (or smirk) 😆

[@S9universe]

😂😂😂

[@JFikeVisuals]

Great update to a great effect! I was wondering though, for tracking the shot, would it also work to film the pan slowly to have better tracking points and then speed it up in AE with lots of motion blur? Or would it look too fake in comparison? Also, for the garage door dents, to save time in a one-off single-cam shot I think I would export a frame to photoshop to add the dents, then parent the new frame to a track of the original garage door and mask it to just the dents (or whole door). For a scene with multiple angles or multiple scenes in that location, 3D is definitely the way to go.

[@kiri2024]

wow That is amazing usage of blender for VFX

[@AdamStarks]

I laughed so much at the car hit 😂brilliant! I think I’ll have to get someone to do this vfx shot in my next film 😊

[@SBG_Arseny]

The ragdoll displacement lmao

[@DowntimeMedia]

Turbulent Displacement made me laugh hard, its been a while hahahaha

[@MustangGT715]

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

[@WEHAVETHISDREAM]

Now you know why shooting a movie takes couple of months or so, but the EDITING like a year or more :)

[@zongmuas]

TWO episodes in ONE week? what!?!

[@gen-amb]

The only thing funnier than hitting Josh with a car is turbulent displacement. The only thing funnier than turbulent displacement is Elf Josh.

[@VideoFlightFilms]

ummmm this amazing i need to try this

[@MostafaTurky]

Guys , what is the sand screens they say it's better than blue and green screens bec . Light bounce and reflections can you make a video about sand screens how to use it and compositing please please .(love you guys)

[@CollinsLeeMusic]

yo. the real tears from josh got me.

[@georgefilmanimation]

8:44 Amazing tutorial 😂

[@prajwalkoppad2958]

Please do the MoonKnight transformation!!!

I remember you guys posted this after Kobe Bryan posted that car jumping video.

Sir your content is very good ❤️

new TURBULENT DISPLACEMENT VIDEO, yus...... now they are legally obligated to use that every time when they say it

[@suemeem8337]

Totally great vid. 👍

[@ChristiaanJTjoe]

I love this guy, it's so funny lol

[@deancreate]

This looks great! 👌

[@silverscreenmedia2203]

I need to know what song was used at 8:56

[@benediktmeyer]

awesome work!

[@WEHAVETHISDREAM]

Haha, always funny intros! But, it would have been almost realistic if you would have added some destroying the front hood of the car vfx or something on top of the image.

[@CrashTv3166]

I like the updated of ummmm , you know ,hahahah

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

12:21 anyone know how they’re controlling all those edge loops like that? Unless it’s and array I’m confused and would like to not be

[@CmanXP]

Looks to be an array modifier, they're just moving that particular face along the Z axis

[@JAMEYX]

Flashbacks to the original jump over the car effect.

[@dannyat]

that random Oliver tree song was a nice surprise
