Main Road|Post "Stalingrad" VFX reel ' 2013

[@carlosfernando9095]

it's 2023, and this is still my favorite VFX breakdown showreel

[@lexasplay]

Check the crush scene of the alien ship in "Attraction" film

[@GovindSingh-gn1ob]

8 years have passed still on of the best VFX breakdown showreel I have ever seen

[@jamesbali1300]

I literally just told myself that 😂

[@AniketDatir]

Couldn't agree more.

[@petrpanin3d]

10 years man, 10!!! The best of the best!!!

[@jackfrags]

Simply incredible, just thinking about the talent, dedication and time spent to create something like this.

[@jackmcginnigal4649]

That is absolutely amazing! I am amazed at some of the stuff that isn't actually real and is completely CGI. The woman in the car is amazing.

[@user-jk1pk1hu4y]

Jack McGinnigal The woman in the car is most likely a recorded actor which is textured onto a basic 3D mesh.

[@Nothing-ui7pj]

Woah even jackfrags Commented lol Its Really great.

[@_nate_young_6264]

wow fancy seeing you here jack

[@constastar1660]

Made in russia

[@rocketpunchgo1]

THIS...THIS is how a behind the scenes VFX reel is supposed to be done.

This is the best anti-var video ever. We should've kept these things for the visual effects forever, instead of recreating them in real...

[@josephpole]

This is the way VFX should be used. Mesmerizingly beautiful. Congratulations, Очень Хорошо!

[@LunaloonandIzzydizzy]

When a 2013 movie has better graphics than a 2019 movie

[@constastar1660]

This is russian

[@aidarkin2]

Просто охренительно! Столько всего намешано,а какая четкось картинки!) Смотрел в кино- весь зал под впечатлением! Спасибо за ощущение того времени!

[@ItsDrewsif]

I am actually offended by how good this is. Wow...

[@TheHenryManeuverBand]

Wow. This is stunning.

[@tinselPixie]

Absolutely mesmerizing. Poetry in motion. I was glued the entire reel and I'm an "old fogey" of 62. My daughter and I watched "In The Mind's Eye" decades back and said that it was just the beginning and wonders were to unfold. Thank you for proving it so eloquently. A high five seems inadequate, this is first rate!

[@kebgamingph]

This is REAL HARD WORK from Talented People!

[@caleblynds-martin8248]

This video deserves so many more views, it is simply breathtaking.

[@BestofYTChannel]

This video has been selected by the channel as one of the best Visual Effects videos on KZbin and was added to the channel's playlist accordingly. Thanks for sharing.

[@RedFireGodRedFireGodStudiosMor]

THE MUSIC HITS SO PERFECTLY!!!!

[@legomigginy4054]

Don't know about the movie, but honest think that those effects and cgi were absolutely mind boggling!!! The probably could have been more practical work but with these skills a whole movie could be CGI!!! Amazing, who ever animated the rigs and all the rest are very talented

[@ObzTicle]

Wonder what reaction the actors in this had. When filming, they're mid day, sunny. In final cut, they're at night, in mist and on fire etc. Incredible.

[@DiplexHeated]

This is amazing!

[@thefan12345]

I'm blown away but how talented you guys are, the quality of this video is just spectacular!!!

[@JesseEtzler0]

Makes me want to get back into video edit. Very inspirational !

[@martinsazesh5663]

Absolutely Amazing! i love the scene with the tank shot that goes through the window.

[@ShutterAuthority]

AMAZING WORK!! Thumbs up if Kramer sent you here :)

[@unsound64]

First shots looked a bit video game-like (aka, lack of detail in textures, simulations and lighting) but after that it got better and better and better. Pretty damn amazing

[@Masterkizz]

Simply stunning.

[@MGMarcel]

Magnificent !

[@GrahamDay]

The CGI effects on this short film are just amazing, its just incredible what can now be achieved with the latest technology.

[@dMDzn]

Out-fucking-standing. This is some seriously impressive work.

[@paqgames9838]

Should be in a movie. Absolutely stunning. I can't stop watching it.

[@D2jspOFFICIAL]

So horrible what our grand and great grand fathers did to each other. Hope this will never happen again. (Yes i'm aware we Germans were the aggressor) The Russian and German people like each other as far as i know.

[@Mancboy2000]

The visuals are stunning, no 2 ways about that.

[@XpressMusic5530]

this is amazing....impressive...

[@sujiro0001]

main road thank you for this amazing clip, i was a beginner 3D animation artist over 10 years ago but due to circumstances i did not manage to go very far with it, this clip has inspired me to get back to it, not many people can see the level of detail and the dedication that one put into these projects, keep it up this is just amazing work. thank you again

[@ИванЖук-э8о]

Nice! Very nice, when Russian film visual effects of high level.

[@michaelbuzbee]

The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively. - Bob Marley You guys have inspired me to push myself through hardship and failure to achieve a happiness in life that can only come from doing something that you truly love. I appreciate all that you do. Please! I beg of you, keep doing what you do, everything that you touch is gold.

[@leonardodau]

Amazing work.

[@googas]

I just don't understand how anybody can dislike this! Amazing Work of Art!!!

[@JacekIrzykowski]

Unbelievable guys!! Great work, epic reel

[@The1FOXmen]

Круто ребята! Молодцы! Столько работы провели, и покраска поразила! Этим фильмом вы показали всему миру как надо пост продактить)

[@PraxisVisuals]

even the breakdown is badass

[@Menegroth1]

Amazing. A work filled with modern technology CGI and special effects yet.... so close and familiar to reality. I would clap for you Main Road Post.

[@Armoroid1]

My great grandfather survived the Battle of Stalingrad. He was shot in the foot and hid among dead bodies in the center of a courtyard. When he left Stalingrad to go back to germany, people would hang on the wings of airplanes when they took off because they were so desperate to get away from the battle. I think this depicted parts of the battle very well, good job.

[@dasbose4962]

and my Grandad was from the SS, so what?

[@AaaBbb-eb4vv]

fucking nazi. Sad to hear that your grandfather left Stalingrad alive.

[@jamesblair1118]

That was possibly the BEST VFX have seen in a LONG TIME GREAT JOB

[@Respawnfatmonkey]

its been 20 minutes and I still have chills man that was just incredible, amazing, pure gold. Really good stuff looking forward to seen more videos.

[@Kikoushinzen]

Absolutely unbelievably amazing work. It's incredible seeing the processes broken down in this way. Pure genius!

[@Flopsaurus]

This is outrageous. I can't trust anything I see in movies anymore! haha

[@ken2339040]

I just can't say a word to describe this . .. Keep covering my mouth through the masterpiece of special effect....

[@FlotownHockey]

This was truly an incredible film to watch. Phenomenal work, keep it up:D

[@EMJAYWLZ]

This is exactly why the Digital Production VFX artist must be treated like gold! Without them, we cannot tell stories on the epic scale in which our imaginations are capable of. Excellent reel!

[@SergioSource]

By the time home computers can run environments like these I'll have something that can play crysis lol

[@v8matey]

10 years later. Do you have a computer that can run Crysis now? 🙂

[@bargoroth5609]

Wow seeing the process makes me giggle. Just shows how much work ti takes to make a movie or animation. And truly inspires me to become best of my self.

[@XpressMusic5530]

Yesterday I watched the movie, it was a bit boring but the VFX was amazing...

[@MichealWhiteetihWlaehciM]

This is the most amazing thing I've seen graphically in a very very long time! In awe going to watch it again!

[@CZTUTORIALS]

EPIC,EPIC,EPIC !!!!

[@ironmaidenfan66670]

pretty amazing animating. i really like the bomber-crash sequence and how the perspectives switch

[@HenrichAchberger]

This reel is amazing and very inspirational, how many work-hours went into that?

[@samcooper3202]

Can't tell if this is a video game, movie, or art. What ever it is, it's beautiful.

[@omaior20]

best 8 mins in youtube

[@jabatheswift]

My jaw hit the floor. This is the most stunning thing I have ever seen. Every aspect of this is miasma rising. You can not look away in fear that you will miss even one microscopic detail. Thank you.

[@NathanielD]

Wow! Awesome!

[@AlanAndrews]

It looks amazingly well done. Buy what's the deal with the jet engine transport flyover? I'm confused without a little more backstory.

[@NathanielD]

Hehe. I did not even think of a storyline at all. Yes, I was that amazed by the fx! ;-P

[@AlanAndrews]

Gotcha.

[@WickedMuis]

The FX breakdowns makes it so incredible!

[@MrSquishedsquashed]

"Render time, many years..."

[@jameswagers3364]

There is only one word that properly describes what you guys have done here and that is - Genius

[@MaxBaraliuc]

Фильм говно, но к Main Road это не относится. Эффекты в нем просто шикарны, молодцы ребята, реально молодцы.

[@5697311]

гавно у тебя в голове мальчик хентая блеать

[@MaxBaraliuc]

Я вроде не оскорблял лично вас. Да и не мальчик я уже давно. Но спасибо, что уделили моему комментарию 5 секунд вашей жизни.

[@TPVPRO]

Incredible work from some world class VFX artists.

[@XpressMusic5530]

I want to watch the movie just because of the vfx, why its not available in English? :(

[@cvoisineaddis]

Subs, my friend.

[@PatriotGabe]

It's crazy to see the difference between a rough shot and a post-production shot. It's also interesting to see how not all the vehicles are CGI but that some are actually there, maybe to help with the actors? Definitely very cool!

[@cte4dota]

wow you should make full Documentary like this about Stalingrad it would be awesome !

[@SkintSNIPER262]

+Stefan Ciganovic Have you seen the movie?

[@cte4dota]

Nope

[@SkintSNIPER262]

Stefan Ciganovic It's amazing. Not to many people will watch it because its all in Russian and German. But it's amazing!

[@cte4dota]

+SkintSNIPER262 lol still in making? i would Like to watch

[@SkintSNIPER262]

Stefan Ciganovic Sigh my bad. I hate English sometimes lol.

[@PalaVfx]

Wow.. I am speechless... The best VFX reel i have ever seen. Incredible.

[@sampsalol]

What you have created here is amazing. Made my jaw drop definitely. I wish I could produce effects like these. I hope all these positive comments encourage you post more awesome videos! :)

[@PxcL]

This has to be some of the most impressive visual effects I've seen in a long time.

[@markvicente6625]

Damn!!! That was so amazing!

[@rclgs]

ikaw gahimo ani mungkey? paytera gud ani!

[@markvicente6625]

hahaha grabe ka maayo nila ric!

[@94vujke]

Look at this graphics, it's just outstanding! Image the time when rendering this would be in real time... "Matrix" scenario is truly ahead..

[@MadMazov]

Its like a live action Red orchestra 2 Heroes of Stalingrad THE MOVIE

[@thejohn3791]

Absolutely amazing. the 3d compositing was completely breathtaking!

[@NoobzyCINEM4]

This is SICK !

[@thiagomaia8362]

I'm truly Amazed.... I Never thought I would see something like this in my life....

[@ReasonablyOptimistic]

Amazing. How did the 86th Academy Awards overlook this?!!

[@anemozen]

its russian and the US dont like anything the russian do.

[@freedomordeath89]

not just that... it sucks...the scenes on the trailer are the only 2 good one

[@anemozen]

Johnny no this seems really good. I hope they release the movie soon

[@freedomordeath89]

its already out, it sucks as i told ya....sorry...i waited for it alot too....but is awfull...have you ever seen "pearl harbour? the same stuff...good effects but the rest is crap :-)

[@ReasonablyOptimistic]

Johnny yes. Saw that it was out but haven't watched it. I guess it doesn't help my case any by admitting I liked "Pearl Harbour"

[@mikeyocum167]

That's one hellva video, such a tragic time in our world. So beautifully rendered.

[@davandstudios]

Now that is some amazing sh^t! I have been doing Photoshop and Illustrator for many years. I just recently got into After Effects and video copilot. for visual effect. You got a thumbs up and a new subscriber.

[@yougouart9119]

+Urban Deployment I'm working on photoshop right now. I have been told that Adobe After Effects is used for animation. So is this video used by Adobe After Effects? What kind of softwares are included in the making of this video?

[@davandstudios]

+José Yougou This is probably cinema 4d. Maybe some videocopilot.

[@yougouart9119]

I understood from what you said that someone needs to be really good at photoshop and illustrator to move to 3d stuff. I'm on the way anyway. thanks. :)

[@tommyiversen5829]

The fires, smokes, explosions, cloth simulations.. all kinds of particle effects are most likely made in "Houdini" and probably composited in "Nuke"

[@sparta3554]

Your films are so good，both music and visual

[@MehdiBenHamida]

Wowww Amazing

[@HaiVu]

Wow! I wonder what kind of efforts went into this.

[@HARDWIREFILMS]

I'm at loss for words. The emotion shared in this jumble of clips was astonishing. Amazing work. I could only dream of working with someone like you guys.

[@RevRaptor898]

So much epic.

[@dragoda]

No words can describe the awesomeness of this clip.

[@Gattobuono]

Fantastic work, well done!!! However, from the reviews I've read of the actual movie it's a terrible embarrassing Hollywood style pastiche. What a waste of all that beautiful CGI :-(

[@freedomordeath89]

worse than hollywood...its strange...its like...i dunno...i think its because russians have different concepts of love, sacrifice, courage, liking...i found many scenes creepy...like the love stories... and the war part...it sucks...just good effects...but you see the best scenes in the trailer...so you basically have already seen all that was worth

[@MegaSpaceFighter]

Wow wonderful work. I have never seen something beautiful like that.

[@FysiKsGaming]

Me watching this video 3:14 beautiful

[@F4D1NG_SCR34M]

Its too beautiful

[@HowToDoStuff64]

Render Time = Infinity

[@Mick_Hinchy]

this is where dreams are made, this is insane! like, my idol Ryan Connoly said everyone has a movie, a movie that inspired them to become a flimer/director/vfx artist what not, but this... i devote my lifes work to become anything like this reel

[@sonnyps2]

1:48 random dude jumping in water for no reason lol Beautiful work

[@bankid5567]

Realism :D

[@Delta4280]

my god... this is some of the best CG that I've seen in years...

[@MrElitegamer6]

Is that Frostbite 4.0 I see?

[@fulvioblizzard5826]

Oh mio Dio...non ho parole!!! Tanti complimenti!

[@shashwatkauraw8085]

Awesomw

[@AngusGiorgi]

so much talent embodied in this reel. Truly inspiring.

[@shrk128]

you should be doing animations and graphics for COD & BF - you'd contribute greatly to them.

[@builder396]

Problem is that the graphics engines in games (or rather the PCs theyre running on) usually cant handle this amount of detail, and even if, I cant imagine game devs putting this much effort into things, just shiny lens flares and HD textures all over the place, but dare you look too closely, you might see how thinly covered up the lack of effort is.

[@aizenps3]

builder396 well there is always a future, maybe on PS5 or Xbox two

[@builder396]

The technical aspect, yes, but I can't see big developer brands putting the necessary amount of effort into their games to get such graphics. I can already see BF5 being fine at first glance, but at the same time having thousands of tiny issues like weapons sticking into walls or objects or weird or unrealistic animations (like teleporting to knife someone) and obvious segments in destructible buildings (like BF3 now has) slowly destroying the flawless image the game was supposed to have.

[@shrk128]

all of that and more, is correct. and that too serves to show the internet, and, much more, the digital space, the cyber universe of sorts', nature, of being a giant organism. it evolves and changes with every byte. what seems state of the art nowadays, like the "next gen" consoles, will be outdated junk in 5-15 years time easy. in fact, 20 years from here,. using the sony PS as a "temporal ruler", we will probably see a gen 6, or even gen 7 or 8, taking the PS 1 as GEN-1, the PS 2 as GEN-2, likewise the PS 3 and 4. as for the errors you mention - i can think of several solutions to those errors in 5 minutes. of course, as my knowledge in the PC extends to using utorrent and applying simple mods to games, and nothing but that, i am no expert in game making; you could use an AI that can locate possible errors in the code for programmers, and for animations "teleporting" players for melee executions for example, you could have a certain "hitbox" in which the executioner activates both an FPS animation for the player himself, and a TPS animation (third person) for the random n00b watching an unaware MOFO gets wasted with a knife to the face. that animation will trigger with the execution and will walk the character from the point where the triggering was done, to the target, and the execute the target. as for guns sticking through walls, you could do what crysis did (though this is probably implemented in other games aside crysis) - have the character bring the gun parallel to the character's torso when it is detected that the gun collides with the wall. if said animation is visible in TPS as well as FPS, all is well in the world. correct me if you find faults in this, but i think companies, both game companies and programming companies in general, are not using the internet enough - the amount of decent programmers and even high end programmers out there is amazing - if you take into account that lets say, half the world is online - that's 3.5 billion people btw - and divide that by 10,000 , assuming only one of 10,000 is a decent level programmer, you still get a ridiculous number of skilled programmers. just think about all the game modes out there for games, or all the indie games done by some random Chinese dude in boo foo fucking china! of course, i could be ridiculously wrong here, but if you ask me, utilizing these people, and also taking into account that a decent number of them are gamers and know what gamers want, i believe game companies could level up their products immensely. but that's just my 50 cents.

[@builder396]

I agree that some of that may be more or less possible to solve, the technical stuff isnt the issue, the issue is that games tend to be rushed towards release and stuff tends to be either overlooked or not considered important enough. Why make the extra effort of calculating walking animations for uneven ground when you could just take the animation for even ground all the time? Might look awkward if a foot submerges in solid rock, but thats not gonna break the game, is it? So stuff like that rarely ever gets fixed except for a few exceptions which turn out to be excellent games, like Crysis for example.

[@balakumaran5949]

These are the best works i have seen for fluid simulations and shattering dynamics. Hands down the best reel..Keep up the work.

[@MODEPIIC]

wait... this is all cg?

[@BatMork]

Absolutely amazing! Far more impressive than 99% of Hollywood special effects. Simply stunning video.

[@MIK_edits]

And some people moan about CGI...

[@merrickx]

It looks out of place when it's used as an obvious alternative, but here, almost every single scene looks amazing, and it'd be difficult to tell exactly what's CG and/or composited.

[@rc7177]

Can't imagine how much work and hours go into this amazing work. Pure talent. Everything about this video was perfect. Thank you.
