Making of: Link's Shadow

[@100p3y]

I love how they made Link's shadow look.

[@alexperalta1616]

Is actually Dark Link idk Y they put it like LINK'S SHADOW

[@alexperalta1616]

Is actually Dark Link idk Y they put it like LINK'S SHADOW

[@witchylivegamer]

Alex Peralta Because in some translations Dark Link IS Link's shadow

[@hollow.fighter9929]

Amanda Nicole but darklink ISNT shadowlink

[@hollow.fighter9929]

Alex Peralta technically this could be shadowlink because darklink has silver hair dark grey tunic and greyish skin while shadow is just completely black from up 2 down

[@thetimelords911]

1:40 "The Dark Elf Look" xD killed me

[@articflame7997]

The Timelords it is quite the sexy look lmao

[@abraxas6276]

Ikr lol!

[@Kyroscope_Vods]

He's in the process of the dark elf look before D even asks. What a god

[@CorridorCrew]

When I was a kid I didn't even have a camera, I entertained friends by banging rocks together, sometimes they'd spark and light up my cave.

[@SleepingGuerrilla]

Clint frickin rocks socks and playing links shadow

[@mistahgrape]

"so, you guys frequent the Renaissance Faire?" "I am the Renaissance Faire" lmao

[@Squidwidge]

He would be a really good mall santa.

[@VFXCommander]

I was shocked of the filming set. Outstanding cinematography! Beautiful editing!

[@grandue23]

Thanks a lot for helping on the butterfly effect! It was awesome how you guys got really creative with the different particles and particulars in this video. I've been subscribed to you guys for about a year and a half now and it's really helped me on my filmmaking ventures. Thanks a lot guys and keep up the awesome work!

[@MillertimeTV]

Really enjoyed the video guys. I love seeing the behind the scenes on how everything comes together.

[@HorrorFangirl34]

That's one hot looking Dark Link ;).

[@notwhatyousee820]

I really didn't expect to have someone find thare shadow hot

[@davinci3478]

1:37 so we’re just going to ignore that hate crime

[@metalwingklefkiprincesslp8161]

The guy who played Dark Link, Really looked Like what I think a real life Dark Link would look like! Great work with the make-up and costumes!

[@jodi6396]

Now this is true art.

[@PapaBigDoinks]

Wow the special effects are jawdropping, seriously guys, this is professional. keep doin' what ya do :D

[@sebianoti]

Love the amazing sunset shots at the end, and no video is complete without the cat!

[@pileofbricks]

I dunno what's more awesome, watching Clint turn into Dark Link, or the space station at the end.

[@flashbang2865]

wow the arrows look really real you guys are awesome :)

[@Eleechee]

I'm so glad you guys used Ashitaka's arrow sound for that first shot shadow link fires :D It worked perfectly.

[@astronautfx]

One of my favorite BTS videos. You covered everything and I appreciate that.

[@TimoMcD]

1:33 Clint's an Avatar cat.

[@trueshadow2]

You guys.... are the best. Those videos have potential!

[@carcomp101]

These guys are getting REALLY good at this.

[@GaiaChrono]

You know at first I thought contacts would be simple and eyes that move around could be a selective thing. Later when I had tried myself to put in colored contacts did I realize the struggle so props to him and his first go with them.

[@darklink607]

love the dark link in this!!!!!

[@wolf5673_shorts]

Dark links aka links shadow is my favorite he just looks good 👍

[@ChinsomanFilms1]

You guys need to make some series or longer more story driven films! I love your work but it always is amazing and then passes as quickly as it came in! I think me and a lot of others would really appreciate some story that would last a while longer than the film! Anyway, great BTS and keep on listening to Blind Guardian Sam! - A fan

[@Tomswift1234]

I'm getting into film and photography. You guys have been my main inspiration along with Freddiew and I hope that I can become as good with effects as you guys!

[@JackMattera]

I wish there was some sort of Stock footage for that arrow breaking scene. It was truly incredible. The 3D Modeling is just way to advanced for me.!

[@astronautfx]

Well you pulled that off! Oh, quick question, Wren. Are you gonna make any new ae.tuts tutorials again soon? Loved the ones you had up!

[@BearlyCelia]

How did you guy write the script for this? or did you just think "hey i got a good idea and know of a cool place to film it, lets go~!"

[@itamide8526]

Probably 2nd.

[@BearlyCelia]

Wish i had a great crew like that. :)

[@HFDWHALERS97]

You guys are incredible. Well done!

[@Krisswords]

NASA TRIVIA-The International Space Station travels in orbit around Earth at a speed of 17,500 miles per hour (that's about 5 miles per second!). This means that the Space Station orbits Earth (and sees a sunrise) once every 92 minutes! By the way your vids are awesome.

[@luha3380]

Hey Corridor! I know you guys work hard & probably don't want to fully reveal step-by-step tutorials for achieving the effects you make, but um . . . could you maybe? More specifically, and I'm sure I'm not the only one, how to change the color of the leaves like you did in your Assassin's Creed 3 video . . . How DID you guys isolate the foliage and not the actors / foreground?! Davinci Resolve perhaps? You guys are AWESOME!!! Thanks for all the excellent entertainment!!!

[@LaneCarter]

This was an especially good making of video! Great work everybody!

[@josh29221]

they all work together and it's not really a competition... plus freddie is working on VGHS season 2 still. i do think corridordigitals videos are more realistic though, which i like a lot

[@mamasnok6915]

you guys made the video is pretty cool but may I ask everyone, did anyone notice a black cat at 5:07 ?

[@ENDYOORFILMS]

Hey Good day first thing first I will like to acknowledge the Epicness and Awesomeness of the work that this company puts out really fun to watch and i learn a LOT from these productions. My question pertains to shooting fight scenes using swords. im currently shooting a film that involves a fight scene and using a real sword is pretty dangerous so what else is there to use? are there swords made of rubber or plastic and if yes where can i buy these online? or will i have to make my own replica of an actual real sword ?

[@randomstuff1019]

1) Link doesn't have a cape 2) fight choreography should have been run beforehand (it didn't feel right like ac3) and 3) Tribesmen walking? Perhaps if they were the 3 of the 8 sages/mages. Otherwise the cinematography and FX were....the best yet! GJ!

[@StubbsFilmsOfficial]

I have to say, that guy really nailed the Link noises.

[@JaceBantfos]

Alright guys I just have to say it: Sam, Niko you going to be so damn awesome I just can't wait to see what's next! ;-)

[@r33dm0nk3y]

I have no idea where they'd get the costumes or props or sets for something like that. Though if they could pull it off it would be badass.

[@genericchannel2]

Man you guys are living the life.

[@MysteriousBiscuit]

The day of epic shots

[@ZachHixsonTutorials]

it is very possible that it is a pirated copy. brandon has even hinted at it in the past, and he never says that he "bought it", and never tells anyone else to "buy it" he always says "get it in your possesion" or "acquire it"

[@CalebSmithartideas]

The wilderness guys are freaking awesome!

[@marrissauchiha]

Dude just wow *thinking* this is so flippin epic!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MehIzDanneh]

Judging from the sun set being behind the camera (I assume) it might actually be Saturn as that tends to rise shortly after sunset at the time of this being filmed. Although I might be wrong. On another note, I just saw the ISS about 15 minutes ago :p

[@SASunDog]

If you say it was moving, then I apologize. I couldn't tell if it was moving in the video. Mercury is relatively high in the evening sky at the moment, about where your ISS was. What was the date when you filmed it?

[@irishmike94]

'I am the renaissance fair', this guys wins life!

[@JasonBowdach]

Theres a LOT of fantastic tutorials out the for the 3d tracker. Check out KZbin for some longer ones, there a few good ones which go over the "theory" of it, so you can shoot better knowing a shot will be tracked.

[@jonlam562]

That wireless senheiser boom setup is amazing. We use it at my school.

[@cyrus565]

You imagine how many eggs you could've hatched walking their path......

[@ldobehardcore]

I know rite?! He has such the prettiest natural eye color too.

[@AbstractMatter]

Although he does mention Action Essentials, they do often shoot their own material, and it's definitely a better practice to get into instead of using the same clips from every action video on youtube

[@YayaFeiLong]

Those eyes though D:

[@SillyPhilly123]

Louis C.K. on sound at 11:05. how you snag him in your film? very nice

[@noblegladiator32]

I think it is difficult for Freddiew at the moment due to VGHS but you are right. Corridor Digital are amazing at the moment.

[@pruhfessionalfilms2888]

Hey, i wanted to recreate a similar scene when link hits the arrow in the air and shatters it, i have 3SD max but not the shattering plugin you used, i used a script that broke the arrow into pieces (arrow template from turbo squid) but the arrow isn't moving in my simulation i key framed it but nothing D: pls halp

[@Kimippsen]

A very big fan asking to know what camera BTS are shot with? You guys rock!

[@heysweet]

Great work guys! Why didn't we get a behind the scenes of Dummeh?

[@CallumDuddington]

hey sam and niko could you do some harry potter effects such as flying on brooms and magical goodness you guys always do ;)

[@digamio2951]

I did not get any of how to do the arrow I'm sad I really would like to know how for some of my friends short films cause i edit them

[@SASunDog]

I'm pretty sure that's Mercury, not the ISS. The ISS moves, usually in an arc, and is visible only for a short time, a minute or so.

[@primekakarot2057]

they should totally make a movie with there skills. a legend of zelda movie that clip they made was amazing!

[@GoodnightMoon666]

"Particle System" "Add Glow and Color" "oooh thats shiney"

[@DeathSpank007]

U guys shud make a movie. I don't care how long it will take. It will be worth it :)

[@PeppyTheCrawdad]

You guys are wizards... So freakin coooool.

[@wilderun04]

I wish I lived somewhere with epic vistas.

[@choren64]

I actually find it kinda funny that they use 3ds max for film effects, while its used often in the game industry. Where as I like to use maya for making game environments, and the program is used often in the film industry!! nevertheless, great work guys!!

[@angrykeeper]

Here is a tip, don't compare your work to others, yes it is never amazing when you are starting out. Anything worth doing takes hard work and determination. You are usually gonna be harsher judging your own work, then you are to others work. So work at what you want to do, your gonna fail at things, mistakes are where we learn how to fix things. If you don't think Sam, Niko, Brandon, or Freddie ever felt their work was sub-par you are sorely mistaken.

[@Aonien]

Does anyone else enjoy these more than the actual videos? lol

[@NorwegianVFX]

Hi guys, I need some help. I swear I', ripping my hair out right now... I'm trying to do what you did with the arrows breaking on impact. What is the correct way of doing it, I'm using rayfire in 3ds max but i can't get it right. If I keyframe the arrow flying, then fragment it and sends the fragments to sleeping objects, they just won't move (because they are sleeping I guess) also Interactive demolition won't work as keyframing ain't allowed there either... help?

[@bobbfwed]

I don't think that is the space station. It is not moving fast enough. I've seen it several times, and it moves quite quickly. Based on the brightness, it is probably a planet, like Jupiter.

[@zzzzzzzz4532]

Sorry for not being as educated as some of you but what is the "3d track"?

[@allroundlad]

+kane kenerly Basically you track the environment using software and it marks a bunch of points which stay with different area of the environment. Then you can choose one of those points and apply CG (the butterfly in this case) to it and it will stick to that point so that it looks like it's part of the environment instead of moving with the camera. Hop that explained it.

[@zzzzzzzz4532]

allroundlad It did! Thank you very much!

[@allroundlad]

kane kenerly You are very welcome! Glad I helped.

[@ronen_khazin]

Luxury! At least you had a cave! We had to make do with sticks, and a rock, and we had to share the rock!

[@alexstefanks8252]

Where did they buy the red contacts? I really want to do a cosplay of Sheik, who has red eyes :D

[@Pr15ms]

Hay guys you should do an editing video where you tell us what system and stuff you use

[@MrUnstahpable]

Why did you guys put link next to dark link in the creek bed before he came to life? I'm puzzled by this. Because if he was dead, how could he come to save the hunters?

[@tomsmeIIs]

how did you guys make the partical effect n stuff?? i really wanna know so that I also can make some on my own. And with wath program did you animate the butterfly??

[@Logisticious_gg]

You guys are amazing.

[@NeoAnthony]

First the Go Kart, now the Arrows, What's next? Niko and Sam's Beard?!

[@StefanB85]

awesome work guys.. respect! :)

[@deddedbyglamour]

If you guys could make a Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword where it's Ghirahim's first battle with Link.

[@carlosaugustomatizguarnizo4645]

What is the program use for edit? And excúseme for my english

[@mathiasensimon]

After effects

[@Antiganos]

To actually edit the video, they use Adobe Premiere, for the effects they use After Effects.

[@jillybean190]

This is really great! I just have one question, why are the Links wearing capes?

[@theteentalks]

You guys are so talented :)

[@MicahChung]

hey sam and niko every time i make a video i always think im failing it because I see your videos and freddie's and i dont think my video are good enough do you guys have any tips for me?

[@hyrulemythology6055]

That beginning tho😂😂😂

[@lisapinkplanet2334]

So cool good job man! :)

[@flash123999]

Make a full movie to this please?

[@genericchannel2]

Niko did a sound video a while ago. It wasn't super detailed though.

[@8drope]

OK RED!!!! FANTASTIC...

[@CharlieMacMillan]

Andreas, probably the RED camera, or the Sony FS100

[@BlueGuise9]

You guys are awesome!!

[@anastasiszaro]

And THAT my friends is why sam and Nikos childhood is better than anybody elses (when it has to do with film-making)

[@NorseNoah]

How did you get the particle emitter to follow the butterfly? I have particular but I can't just parent it. Please help?

[@JackFechino]

what camera do you use for the behind the scenes videos? Is this the fs100? or maybe the 7D?

[@samherridge1592]

Just wondering how you added the color to the particles and also what did you use to add the shiny parts to the particles? Also, where did you get the smoke effects from?

[@shTree]

SamHerridge I would guess trapcode particular, but that's probably because I love trapcode particular. I can't recommend it enough, and it's on sale on dec 6 for 40% off. (I'm not an ad, It's just going to be very cheap in a few days.. lol)

[@TheInterwebulators]

Can We Have A Map Panning Tutorial, Cant Find Any Others!

[@faultofdan]

"For all those scarlet owners out there" Yes. Both of them.
