SPECIAL Effects | A Guaranteed* Audio Impromptu Conversation

We want to try and do some live or unedited podcasts, so Neil & Kevin did a quick, extemporaneous rap about special effects in... movies!

[@GuaranteedVideo]

Forgive the NOS, black t-shirts, and general lack of format in this one.

[@dwarpmunder]

You guys are good! It is impromptu, yall just chillin and we don’t want to stress u guys out too much with production all the time! (Tho ur production is a big reason i enjoy watching u guys in other videos, i am totally cool with u guys hangin too!! I usually am only listening while doing chores anyway so no biggy!)

[@-elliott-averagedragonenjo1812]

@@dwarpmunder yeah guaranteed is a lovely channel for background noise and just watching to take your mind off the current global state lol

[@chrisweathers7876]

It's cool

[@KevinJamesVideo]

Sorry for all the interrupting, Neil. I blame the caffeine and internet delay.

[@-elliott-averagedragonenjo1812]

I love the camera quality difference, Neil is being really casual and your standing up making tons of hand gestures with leds in the back, Kevin really means it and Neils jus kinda vibing

"Babe wake up new guaranteed video podcast"

[@una_10bananas]

"no Ryan? Bye" cracked me up for some reason

[@una_10bananas]

Ah yes, the classic sign-off "Fuck off, audience!"

[@hanamacquoid1427]

Oh I get it. Ryan was still frozen on Misery Mountain when you guys filmed this one.

damn😞😞

[@pianolexcat7387]

ok so i love this entire video but i think my favourite part is when kevin almost knocks his mic over

[@KevinJamesVideo]

SPIDERMAN!

[@ZyxthePest]

Kevin pushing Neil to admit Robocop 2 is a solid 8 out of 10 is the stuff I live for.

[@DCD22498]

I'm at about 42:30 so this might get covered but I think one reason we don't get impressed by effects anymore is because we've gotten to a point with cgi where it's so good that we can do most of the things that we want to do. So instead of "how did they did that?" it's more of an "of course they can do that"

[@Luschan]

Love this. Unedited is great, we like you guys for who you are. We don’t even notice any awkward pauses or lulls in conversation that might stand out to you guys.

[@sansundertaleofficial9947]

the one dislike is from spiderman

[@dwarpmunder]

Cool! Always love hearing from you guys. Wishing you all the best of health and a happy Thanksgiving!!!

[@CusterDawg]

I'm so glad you mentioned the rocket jump film school, "Why CG Sucks (except it doesn't)". That was in the back of my mind through the whole episode. So many effects and processes that people take for granted. I loved this episode so much.

[@meli_lemon_real]

neil is so cool

[@renmarine808]

God I needed a guaranteed video right about now.

[@JellybeanSTUDIOS]

This is now my favorite "episode"

[@-elliott-averagedragonenjo1812]

Thank god you guys are back

[@efass_]

The last special effects scene that really impressed me was the love scene in Blade Runner 2049. I don't know much about CG or editing so I don't know how technically impressive those effects were, but oh my god did the way those two actresses were layered over each other blow my mind.

[@heyyoitsmebrian]

Prometheus ... first time seeing it i honestly couldnt tell if the engineer was 100% CGI like the hulk or a really stuntman in makeup with maybe cgi face adjustments

[@earthlingplant]

This was a pleasant surprise to start my day with! I hope you all are doing well and staying safe back home. I Can’t wait to finish this up! I’m looking forward to the content on the horizon too. Keep up the great work!

[@lightbluepika2175]

swag :)

1:09:14 I'm picturing Sylvester Stallone talking backwards like a Twin Peaks character and lafffin'

[@crassinula]

Oh yay! A new episode :D

[@hamptoncomics]

Have a good thanksgiving guys!

[@ZyxthePest]

In terms of CG, I think the last time modern movie effects really got me was the Winklevoss twins in The Social Network. Fincher did a fantastic job...maybe at the cost of pissing off the body double that was supposed to play a twin, but a great job nonetheless.

[@TAD.Animation]

My friend/co-hort worked on The Blob, it was his first VFX project.

[@TAD.Animation]

He worked on Freaked, too!

[@SkyeGuy]

44:51 - "There are no virtues to Popeye." C'mon, perfect casting and a soundtrack by Harry Nilsson? Punch-Drunk Love would cease to work without He Needs Me.

[@chronomage4939]

sometimes I forget neil is real and then I see stuff like this

[@TheWhitestArchiveUKnow]

Really enjoy the face cam footage for the podcast. It might just a me problem, but I am more willing to watch/listen to a podcast if it has footage of the people talking. Unfortunately I have a back log of Gaurenteed Video Podcasts I haven't listened to yet.

[@-elliott-averagedragonenjo1812]

I remember American werewolf

[@YouBredRaptorsMusic]

what is this SCIENCE?!?

[@alphabassist]

I’m just glad that we finally reached CGI that looks photo real. The CGI in the 90s and 00s looked so laughably bad, it just took you out of the movie. Watch something like Kong: Skull Island, and it feels like you’re seeing actual giant monsters fighting, instead of CGI blobs or dudes in suits.

[@-elliott-averagedragonenjo1812]

20:36 yeah but wasn’t mars attack supposed to look bad, I can’t take mars attack seriously I always assumed even at the time that it was made to look bad, they hired lots of comedy actors for it like Danny devito and all that jazz I thought it was a parody of the alien sci fi genre
