MPC The Martian VFX breakdown

[@sparkside217]

I could watch VFX breakdowns all day. This is one of those movies where I didn't even think about the VFX because they were so well done (as was the rest of the film), so it's awesome to watch something like this where the effects are brought to attention.

[@Voise37]

+YRQRM0 Agree

[@spymerds4326]

+Speedgames Misterpopo remember, that was a long time ago, technology was not as good back then

[@12Konst]

This is Mars. are you high?

[@biochemscott]

fantastic! I am particularly impressed with the visor work. I would have never guessed a majority were CG. Now I know why they didn't fog up :)

[@Geekthenet]

+Scott Barnett They did have full helmets with lamps in it to light their faces in some scenes. But you have to replace the visor in post anyway because of the réflections.

[@BillykOTW]

Movies are so spectacular. This VFX breakdown make it look so easy lol

[@hendrixphish420]

most of what you see in modern films is actually all digitally added in. not all films but the majority of feature length hollywood movies, most of it is on a soundstage with green screen, although it can look like they are actually walking through NYC in real life. insane!

[@baircade]

Mind. Blowing. MPC are masters of their art.

[@NilesBlackX]

It's safe to say that visual effects have gotten to the point where I can't tell what's real and what isn't.

[@cmivfx]

cmiVFX is proud to have MPC as our training customers. Its wonderful to see hints of our techniques being used successfully in new and creative ways, Kudos to all of you for a job well done.

[@DJ1000ization]

Wait what?

[@brsk1]

shut the fuck up idiot nobody is using your shitty techniques

[@DJ1000ization]

***** Lol

[@Gr8ph1cs]

Awesome job, the helmet reflections were flawless when I watched the film. Well all of them!!

[@thefrunj]

Great video, loved how the individual layers and filters slid in. Clearly a lot of work just to produce this short piece.

[@skweeds]

This is fantastic. I had no idea how much of an art form this had become.

[@garnosy]

Amazing !

[@lgolem09l]

Amazing what the media player classic can do today.

[@ThashilaRachithra]

An amazing work. Best VFX of Oscar should be given for this!!!

[@rocklinreels]

[@lukasbieri]

Nothing that can't be achieved using Windows Movie Maker ;) No seriously, this is incredibly well done and outstanding work!

[@andreaaabreww]

Wow, amazing!

[@robertcapek2425]

Jesus, just one still has more layers than a bag of onions! :-)

[@pavel_verenkov]

well done

[@joshsjunk365]

The most amazing thing to me, is how they didn't get any extra studio light reflections on the helmets and equipment

[@genapakhniy6924]

very cool

[@8o8inSquares]

Crazy!

[@kakamaru5]

Even the reflections were computer generated! What the fuck!? Well done mates!

this shouldve won

[@kxmode]

Did your team handle Mark Watney's extreme starvation shot? I thought that was crazy!

[@hinduspl]

epic

[@mazack00]

I'd appreciate this more if the inconsistencies in the movie (plastic blowing in the wind on pressurized hab vs plastic bubble exploding on pressurized rover.. as a single example) didn't ruin the magic every few MINUTES.

[@BioClone]

what was wrong with the hab¿

[@VariTimo]

When does the Fantastic Beast breakdown come?

[@eubie6506]

best comedy

[@fosibodu]

Oscars campaign huh. While its great work, you can't win an Oscar for mostly composite work.

[@tsislav1]

What's the music? is it from the original soundtrack? Lovely

[@Tenmalostone]

¿Where can i see the CGI beard?

[@TheBoomerpirate]

0:14 how do you even achieve displacement and tessellation like that?!

[@TheBoomerpirate]

God Spoke Yeah i was thinking something like substance, but those rocks look to perfect to be procedural , me thinks its a combination of sculpting , photo scanning and what ever there in-house tech is.

[@selz2634]

My thoughts exactly! When i saw that low poly mesh i was like wait what? ...but how. *rewinds*

[@bartonnen]

What do all the "wag the dog" comments refer to?

[@2000Paranoik]

+Adrian Womack There was a film about group of cinematorgaphers, making fake war-footages, to cover political fault of the President. This is probably reference to believability of CGI in this movie.

[@claytomcs]

in 1:10 are the extensions all mattepainted or cg renders ?

[@Vidaldemonti]

They can bamboosel us with more than just a movie. Let's keep that in mind.

[@SAGARAP3055]

bro from where u get footages plz share...

[@zedgraphics00]

Are the cgi, sets, motion and effects compiled with After Effects?

[@FindusGame11]

Alexandre Probably Nuke. After Effects, although it is a powerful software, isn't that popular in the industry.

[@RadimaxRadimaX]

Nasa should hire this guys to help them fake stuff better :)

[@AndreasStom]

+. And what is it that they're faking?

[@derrickdavis7917]

+. Shots fired

[@ΧΑΙΘΑΝΤΕΡΟΑΝΑΛΑΤΟΣ]

+. Wag the Dog

[@angelamelini7249]

+ΧΑΙΘΑΝΤΕΡ Ο ΑΝΑΛΑΤΟΣ eexaactly!! v=CNo0BicRM8k

[@jaewonup]

what kind of program is used on editing? maya?? aftereffect??

[@FindusGame11]

이재원 If you mean compositing, they probably use Nuke. For 3D they probably used Maya and/or Houdini.

[@oliverjohnson438]

This film's VFX compositing was done in Blackmagic Fusion Studio. You can see what other films were made with this software over on the product page of Blackmagic (under showcase tab).

[@SergeiBidzishvili]

That over the program you did it??

[@sergeys7771]

But why make the helm glass in GCI ?

[@DeepEye1994]

It would've reflected the camera and the crew of the director filming the scene.

[@UmutNaderi]

+DeepEye1994 Why make the whole suit in CGI?

[@DeepEye1994]

Umut Naderi ...They didn't. Only the helm glass for the reasons I explained, the rest is practical as the video shows.

[@UmutNaderi]

+DeepEye1994 Okay I get it.

[@theicaruscomplexofficial9313]

+Torque Velocity Mainly to avoid green screen reflections

[@thisguyhere00]

Is this real life?

[@lucak_art]

[@FindusGame11]

[@DJ1000ization]

At 1:58, the green screen does not cover the whole sky. So what gives?

[@NilesBlackX]

It's pretty easy to directly crop a region. Greenscreen is for when the edges are complicated to define. So, there's a greenscreen backdrop behind the foreground objects, but there's no reason to stretch it all the way up when you can just remove that part indiscriminately....

[@DJ1000ization]

Niles Black Oh I get it now. Next time I use a greenscreen I'll keep that in mind. Thanks!

[@jonathanatler7774]

MY WHOLE LIFE IS A LIEEEe

[@Vidaldemonti]

Who knows, maybe they bamboosel us with other things too....keep watch"

[@unsound64]

Wow, pretty impressive slave labour

[@whipshaw]

so, are u still believing that men step over the moon?

[@SargeRho]

+whipshaw Yep. Because there was no way of faking the footage in 1969. And there is no evidence contradicting the moon landings, and fucktons supporting them.

[@whipshaw]

+Sarge Rho oh man, but there are so many contradictions inside my head, I just don't know, and after seeing that, the way guys apply these kind of effects...

[@SargeRho]

whipshaw Such as?

[@whipshaw]

haha sorry bro, just being ironic

[@akulTV]

Haha

[@bes5164]

The music track is unlistenable lol ...I came here after listening to Mozart's 9th symphony Requiem and just couldnt listen to this...

[@plutons0productions]

So good!
