Yes! The "CGI spoil movies" guys will have to swallow this.

[@Antrikshy]

@@AlceuBap They need to watch the "No CGI is really just Invisible CGI" series. Especially the end of part 4.

[@AlceuBap]

@@Antrikshy exactly!

[@thevikingbear2343]

100% recommend the "No CGI is really just invisible CGI." KZbin channel. shows tou how this NO CGI bs has been part of Hollywood since the beginning and hurts the real artists doing incredible work without recognition. ​I was awaiting each episode with so much hype and everytime it blowed my mind. People still say that Top Gun Maverick used no CGI. It's crazy. @Antrikshy

[@ihateunicorns867]

I've worked as a DP and I would never have guessed this is CGI.

[@JohannesMariaRunge]

It is as very good move to make this visible again. After so many fake-making-of-clips from movies like Barbie where the impression is, that there is no CGI where there actually is, this is refreshing and honors the VFX artists like they deserve.

[@AndresArosemena]

Exactly, studios need to share and be proud of the amazing artistry vfx artists do. I remember a lot of years ago on the DVD special features they used to do that. Not only breakdowns but interviewing the artists themselves working on their computer explaining the process

[@minusmutus]

Agreed! It's also further testament that Nolan was simply wrong about the necessity of practical effects in order to achieve realism or a "believable" threat during the Trinity test. The technology is unquestionably good enough at this point for CGI to be seamlessly integrated into live action photography such that a fully computer generated nuclear explosion would have looked significantly better than that dinky little fireball we saw in Oppenheimer.

[@JohannesMariaRunge]

@@minusmutus Every second Fincher movie is a testament to Nolan being to narrow-oppinioned on that topic. On the other hand I still appreciate his dedication to practical effects.

[@zacsmith2862]

@@JohannesMariaRunge the last three Fincher projects have been an embarrassment for cgi imo. Everything just looks fake, even when its real. The cgi camera shake in The Killer 🤢

Great VFX breakdown!! So many incredible shots on this show, can't wait to see more behind the scenes!

[@behrampatel4872]

HUGE respect for the team and their craftsmanship in creating seamless effects. Did a double take many times when I mistaked CG for practical. Cheers, b

Great job! A stunningly beautiful series... Including thanks to guys like your husband! Family happiness and Love!

Wow. This is absolutely amazing work

[@BobMori]

INCREDIBLE. MORE. PLEASE.

[@FantasticMr.Fox.]

Absolutely great series, art at it's best! VFX is unspottable, great work!

[@MichaWha]

Perfect VFX. Why? Because while watching the show I never thought for a moment "that's clearly CGI". Really impressive stuff!

[@senguptasayn]

How technology aids storytelling. Big Little Lies also stunned me.great vfx on that one as well.

[@NikHem343]

I was not aware this level of water realism was possible

[@speider]

Absolutely fantastic work. And also great showing the effort that went into these fantastic shots.

[@SatanSupimpa]

The black and white work wonders as an extra blanding layer for the vfx.

[@pixel.catcher]

This is the second production I've seen recently that's made me realise I can no longer tell when the water is CG (the other was Nyad)

[@EditorDaniels]

WetaFX did both.

[@Remy.]

It's nuts! I had no clue

[@mikeprice25]

Nyad at least filmed the actors in the tank to help blend the real water effects with the CG. This just went fully CG for Andrew's bits in the water and I could barely tell for most shots, incredible work.

[@chadlanc]

brilliant work, Put of a coffee table book of the shots from the film!

[@radiantfertilitynow]

Just fantastic! Kudos to the incredible VFX team!!!

[@emoryslegacyentertainmentl7546]

Wētā FX is the best to do it!

Very well made vfx cudos to the team... I am gonna go ahead and check out the show now :)

[@lattiure]

this is more shocking than the actual scene, amazing work

[@gabi3]

insane. not once during this episode watch did i consider any shot could be vfx

[@christophemeyerYT]

I asked myself how the F they frame this scene. Imagining the cameraman on the water... Now I know. Thank you for this !

[@ThomasGroveCarter]

Absolutely incredible work!!

[@CassRacing]

Imagine how cool this would be if they did it practically on good, clean film instead of dirty-digital!

[@sander-wit]

Incredible work

[@candacemorgan642]

[@daeilkim7183]

[@azb-ir3hd]

The CGI certainly fooled me while watching the show, but the boat/murder scene in the Anthony Minghella movie is much more tense and effective, and all of it is real.

[@eamonnleahy]

I thought it was real…incredible

[@MarkOConnellFilm]

I wish there was some discussion in the reel about the hows and whys instead of just music.

[@evgenyyurichev]

VFX Magic )

[@dsoundso]

This is interesting for sure but why though? I guess you were already in Italy and I guess a boat like this would exist. I mean - yeah cool what cgi can do now but whats next? Animating a door being opened?

[@RowdyChocolateOfficial]

I'm assuming it's all done to achieve optimal results given the production constraints? More control in the post production vs struggling with retakes with the blood spilling not correctly or things of that nature. But I do see your point, seems a little too much reliance on VFX. I'm not a filmmaker by any means, these are all just my assumptions.

[@pmays4]

How depressing, it was all fake. I would not have thought it.

[@SOLIDToM77]

All this scenes could have been shot better looking without any CG but using props, well studied shots, stunts and traditional VFX, for a fraction of the price.

[@marcmordelet]

Great work ! what vfx studio made this ?

[@josephservodio8612]

The work displayed in this reel specifically was done by Wētā FX, but throughout the series there are over 2,100 shots completed by Wētā FX, Assembly VFX, EDI, Powerhouse VFX, Crafty Apes, ReDefine, and an In-House team!

[@balthazarhoedeman2224]

Crazy leaving out so many credits, why does Netflix not respect the artist that made the VFX?

[@comp_next]

Is the green grid using SmartVector?

[@autofocus4556]

Why not just shoot it practical? Why was this even made when Minghella’s adaptation is such a classic?

[@jeffstrand601]

why not just do it in real water? it's a small boat in water and nothing else

[@edysparrow]

Think about the logistics of shooting in real water, it's not safe, way too expensive, and you will likely won't get the same results.

[@cowboywayne35]

Brave to show the smart vectors smearing everywhere.

[@Cabriofahrer2]

The same boat scene in "The talented Mr. Ripley"(2004) or "Purple Noon"(1960) had no VFX, but were not worse or even better ... I love the different approaches to Patricia Highsmiths book, but I fail to understand the value of having the last version in black and white. Some scenes look like art, some scenes like the good old french and italian movies, but all in all, it looks like a cold and artificial intimate theatre in a setting of a sweet, warm country full of people with emotions. I wish, one day the will publish a version with the blach-white filter removed. I know this is a debatable opinion, but that's the way I feel.

[@PriestlyEdits]

Software ??

[@dutchman8129]

No vfx was applied when the big disguise act took place. How could that police officer not have seen through that I’m still asking myself, i mean he had the same face and the same voice! Come on.

[@jomosadler7206]

Does anybody else think that approaching scenes like this and doing special effects for everything ruins the fun and craft of filmmaking on set?

[@brookskellymedia]

I dunno man, all that looks pretty fun to me!

[@2424rocket]

You are correct… It is shit filmmaking. All these ocean shots don’t even look nearly as good as the original original jaws. Nothing like the real thing. This Director sucks anyway… The movie was beautiful to look at but pretty crappy.

[@ihateunicorns867]

No. I wouldn't have known if I hadn't seen this.

[@fredventure]

Wonder if AI was used in this? 🤔

[@rushalmakwana]

But, just why the hell you would CGI all this, when you can do most of it as practical ...

[@LynnHarrod]

They use CGI for stuff I wouldn't think you'd need it for. Blood on the actor? Wouldn't it be easier and quicker to just splatter fake blood on him?

[@did3d523]

[@LucasWild-n8c]

Something's fishy here...

[@עידוכסלו]

I am quite disappointed to see basic scenes like a murder in a boat becomes CGI. I mean, movies from more than 100 years ago did it in real waters, why can’t we? Why all the extra money for BLOOD CGI instead of some makeup? It doesn’t make any sense and frankly feels excessive and poor taste. I still really like the show but now a little less

[@Cutebizkit-x7b]

This has to be the most redundant over use of CGI I have ever seen. I totally respect CG but when it used just to make up for lazy film-making and adds NOTHING to the scene it deserves no plaudits of any kinds. Pushing a CG body into the water? What the hell? Surely the time, money, effort it would have been so much easier to just film a stuntman being pushed into the water. This isn't great film-making, it's not even interesting film-making, it is a slavish reliance on technology and shows how lacking in initiative and originality modern fim-makers are.

[@mark-shane]

Nothing original about using sfx green screen to save money. Appreciate the directors who had to do it on location or choose to do on location now!

[@edysparrow]

SFX? Get the f** out of here if you don't know what you're talking about

[@narrativasavulsas]

I am now so disapointed.

[@2424rocket]

The ocean shots don’t even look as good as the original Jaws!. All these crappy special effects look fake as shit… You couldn’t even shoot the boat out in the ocean or in a lake? So pathetic.

[@ihateunicorns867]

This is hilarious. You're so unnecessarily angry.
