I'm always amazed by how in-depth your tutorials and BTS are.

[@PerspectivePictures]

With this few comments here already I wish I had something clever to say...

[@justinaug29]

shhh Don't speak, your eyes said it all....

[@PerspectivePictures]

***** Yeah this might surprise you, but I was not expecting that many likes....

[@hardisk]

Hey guys ! I'm a VFX dude, reply to this comment if you have questions about the tutorial, I'll try my best to answer them.

[@mattsven]

Thanks for offering. :)

[@JacksonWelch]

ok, if a hen and a half layed an egg and a half in a day and a half, how long would it take a monkey with a wooden leg, to kick the seeds out of a dill pickle?

[@bendoleo]

How do you open after effects?

[@SPARTAAA12]

How can I rotoscope my side hoe out of the frame?

[@JacksonWelch]

kick her. Then give her a box of chocolates.

[@MoreKeyAO]

I really do look forward to seeing these types of videos on this channel. I always feel like I gain a better understanding of these techniques which I am already somewhat familiar with. Really appreciate it.

[@giantironclaw]

This dude seems like a nice guy.

[@CKproductions1000]

Nice Smosh Shirt

[@GK_4K]

What a long they theyve come

[@HeapsGoodProductions]

And that ladies and gentlemen is how you make a tutorial! Awesome stuff!

[@AVALONexperience]

Nico, you need to be in a movie where you play a college professor, that would be a definitive roll for you. Your are a good actor

[@chefkendranguyen]

Amazing tips, thanks.

[@XXXMakabaka1880]

A big thank you from 10 years later.

[@BenNSkippyProduction]

I use this technique in my own web series and it works great. I let the camera continue rolling as I don't wanna move it, it's good to just film either before or after, I generally get a clean shot from before an after as I am a one man crew and hit record and then act. But it was informative to get an understanding of how to do it on a moving shot, I may try this.

[@ShaoVideoProduction]

Finally! Thanks guys.

[@CornBredAnnihilation]

I'm In LA and out of Texas for the first time in my life. Naturally I stopped by the hunter st studio all creepy like. After nerding out in the alley and under the overpass for a bit I bailed after a heroin use sighting reminded me to be on my way. No Corridor Digital sighting yet but the search continues.

[@Kittyzord]

you know I don't even make movies, edit stuff or whatever and I have no interest of doing anything like that in the future but somehow I still watch all your technical videos just for fun. I guess it's entertaining ? :) love you guys xx

[@Chezman627]

You guys really missed a great joke you could have done at the end. When you said "or Sam" you could have had him pop in from a painted out area. Just to take the piss a bit.

[@TehFoxit]

Honestly.. I don't know how many comments and tweets I have left asking for this ;)! This is really great for beginners! I would like to see how a person could be painted out in an actual moving camera shot, that is where I face problems when working for clients, half the time I have to pay a VFX expert to do it for me. Anyways I am glad to see you guys teaching people the fundamentals! Keep up the great work :)

[@orange42]

3:56 Just so people realise, this shot of Niko is taken from a camera mounted on the shoulder of a normal sized man. Basically, Niko is a giant with huge biceps.

[@RumleKjaer]

Thanks Niko (and Sam!) for this awesome tutorial! More, please!

[@RSpudieD]

That cool. I love the example one with the dust cloud. Thanks

[@ProManirule]

Man I love Niko! He is my favorite one out of all in Node

[@BrandonFenty]

easy way to do background painting if you've got a dolly: Do the same shot twice, once with and once without your subject, then go through and time stretch your backplate in after effects to match your foreground footage dolly speed. It only takes a few keyframes and is MUCH easier than rebuilding in 3D etc.

[@bouchandre]

doing it in 3D is not as hard as you think. I do it often and it takes very little time. What you do is you take one frame of the shot in about the middle of the movement, you go in photoshop and paint whatever you need to replace, then you solve the camera in 3D, build very basic geo that follows the surfaces you need to paint out, then you project the painted stuff on the geo and there you go! You may also need to do some roto too. Of course After effects isn't really built for 3D stuff like this, so it's much easier to do it in Nuke.

[@georgemichaelofficial]

Best graphic ever.

[@ThatGuyProductions]

Great tutorial Niko! Really glad you covered this!

[@LarsWaltherFilm]

Thanks a lot! There are so little really good tutorials on the topic, and this is very helpful. You are great!

[@UFOBobTV]

I already understood the principle, but you did fill in some holes that I had (no pun intended). Thanks. Your tutorials are always appreciated.

[@Aartwood]

Love this series already!

[@ChinsomanFilms1]

Great tutorial! Went a little more in depth into painting than what I knew, thanks!

[@TheShooter1337]

Never knew what this effect was called, thanks guys!

[@theWILDANIMAL42]

Nice! I definitely learned stuff. Thanks niko!

[@Tactical_Hotdog]

[@24framedavinci13]

[@cakestep]

It feels like I just watched a video in a different language.

[@sten272]

It would be very useful if you could give us an idea about how to paint over in 3D Space. Learnd alot from this tutorial :)

[@ghostpictures]

[@MrNotThatFamous]

[@Wingspan_5]

[@marsh8795]

[@Stephenan]

[@TheFighterofthenight]

[@FrecklesCast778]

You guys should do a tut on how to remove a rope / harness when filming basic stunts!

[@VPmovies1]

awesome tutorial, im kinda sad that you guys arent doing the painting someone out in 3d space tut tho :(

[@remoruegg5685]

4:13 seem slike Sam & Niko stole my Joy-Stick... nope, it's still here. Lucky you :D

[@zerek44]

wow only 108k views! feel like more people would watched this its one of the first things that comes up

[@xArcticHDx]

Awesome tutorial Niko...WAIT HIS BEARD IS ORANGE?! Kewl. :D

[@namaro539]

Nice video. Not very indepth though.. Only because I already know what is it painting things out I understood everything in this.

[@massetozacarias5693]

nico looks more different now than before except the age but the way he talks to the camera

[@IndyStry]

Wait, so holding the camera in your hand and panning it around (but not physically moving from that place) is counted in a nodal pan too? I did a Megatron VFX shot which is up on my channel but while tracking I selected Free Move instead of nodal and it tracked just fine. Aren't nodal pans just pans from a completely still surface like a pan on a tripod?

[@JonEnge]

Yup! That's how we did it in this vid!

[@Jonaseater]

Nice stuff! But your beard Niko, was a huge distraction. Didn't learn nothing but beard compensated that 10/10 would watch again.

[@BumNanner451]

"Didn't learn nothing" So you learned something? Good!

[@dumax97]

Nice shots

[@TheLoneGingerShow]

Thanks guys!

[@Zoll1989]

Pro tips from Niko :D

[@amir44dara]

it can work with panorama shot too... different ones...

[@NaokiOnimaru]

could you make another video explaining how to paint out an object without a clean plate please? or an advanced tutorial.

[@TrustATinOwl]

This be some voodoo witchcraft shit.

[@PaulRamen]

Always dat Smosh shirt

[@ScandalProduction]

I wish you guys would do a motion tracking tutorial with adobe after effects.

[@LeakySpigot]

I know yall posted this video like 300 years ago, but can we get a tutorial on Lens Compensation in regards to wider angle lenses? Because I want to shoot with my 18mm, but getting the edges straight has caused me nothing but issues.

[@madman1128]

Really nice video :)

[@maxwellhunt775]

Throwback from the latest Bollywood wow can I interview you guys

[@JohanFriedner]

[@BXBProductions]

Someone should paint out his beard...

[@bigcman120]

How about a missing limb tutorial? Like how to edit and make someone have a stub or an open wound.

[@malasuai]

[@48t31]

Do a tutorial on how you do the ragdoll simulations please

[@BenEphla442]

Thumbs up for smosh T :D

[@petertodd8769]

Hey guys just wondering what program you use to make the videos

[@piratescode]

One problem I always have is that once the actor leaves my image becomes darker or lighter. And then the clean plate never matches and it messes things up. I know this might just be me being stupid but I would appreciate any help, thanks!

[@northstar5632]

could you do Battle Magic VFX i.e Fire bending Magic shields ad shiz like that.

[@jonosterhues7412]

What program were you guys using in this tutorial?

[@Nintenja889]

Wearing dat Smosh shirt, tho.

[@padlockd]

Dat sensor dust.

[@JordanxMedia]

Just wondering why you guys don't use Nuke?

[@jcdavis2020]

Smosh shirt
