VFX Artists React 102: Real Steel, Unrecord, The Gate

[@Ccerran]

Real Steel is so criminally underrated that it genuinely hurts.

[@safomorarobinson4237]

ABSOLUTELY! In part, it was Disney's fault. In my country, the ads were really bad...to the point where I saw the movie and got lost. The ad shows something completely different.

[@Aragonsdick]

If there's a movie that makes me shed real tears is reel steel. The entire third act High Jackman's character in slow motion shadow fighting always warms my heart af. This film will always have a special place in my heart.

[@YouMakeMyMotorRun]

What Wren said about the reference is also so true. One of the reasons baby Yoda was so shocking is because they didn't even try to make a fully imagined creature. They just went off of the way the puppet itself moved. So even when it's CG, it moves in this yanky, puppet-like way that truly matches with the prop used for the close up shots, and the combination and consistency just sells that Grogu is there in the scene. It's also a reason why Iron Man suit got worse over the years: they started off with this realistic, highly based on an actual prop suit and movie by movie they steered away from it, until in Infinity War and Endgame it became that nano-suit weird thing that had no reference to go off and became impossible to actually sell on scene. VFX artists are amazingly talented these days, and the MCU has top-notch people working in their movies... but they're not magicians, and with the tight schedules that they have and no real reference to go off of, there's no way on Earth for them to actually pull off everything they're asked to do.

[@キラキラくりくり頭]

The VFX were great but it really bothered me (to the point where it took me out of the movie) how bad the kid's dialogue was. The entire time I felt like "have the writers ever spoken to a 13 year old kid?"

[@YouMakeMyMotorRun]

@@キラキラくりくり頭 ah... that's true. It's very hard to find a well-written, well-acted kid in cinema. I think nobody actually listens or makes a conscious effort to understand kids, and it just shows in fiction... they're either kid actors trying to fit into an quasi-adult character (see "The Adam Project"), or just written as dumb monkeys (see... I dunno, maybe this movie? Or Jurassic Park?)

[@jscott4reel]

Would love to see the Crew do your own Darby O’Gill effect shots now as some kind of challenge. So cool.

[@AdamBladeTaylor]

Agreed. How about a three tier challenge? Where one is done Darby style, with the full set and distancing. Another done where it's live actors and FX to either add in or alter footage to give the combined scene. And then a final one where the entire scene is done in FX. They could have a side by side by side comparison to show how the same shot three ways looks depending on the technique used.

[@3nertia]

Seconded!

[@JeffBaier]

they need to team up with Adam Savage again for this challenge. he would have the experience of model making and creating the practical effects.

[@QuincyKane]

Great idea!

[@Unduu]

Don’t think it’s really feasible considering how relatively cheap vfx are nowadays compared to the cost and time of making believable sets and costumes for use in the perspective shots. At least not for a throwaway: “we did it three ways” take for an episode.

[@Ovisq]

Real Steel is sooooooo underrated!!! That movie rules! Really great character dynamics between Hugh Jackman and his son. Amazing robot fights! I wish this was a real sport!

[@Dhakadice]

I have yet to see it, but I heard that the limited motion that the robots show far outshines films where the robots have lips, pupils, actual voices, etc. Also, I loved the last robot movie I saw with Hugh Jackman! :D

[@lola-to9om]

there is but with tiny robots i think one day we will get to this level or something like maglobox where fighters use exoskeletons

[@Mr.Septon]

I honestly never watched it when it came it, largely just because I had the wife, two little kids, and I worked 80ish hours a week. Eventually I became significantly less busy but never recalled hearing anything all that good about it, not that I heard bad, I just didn't get any impressions. So I think it's now on my list for this week. Hugh Jackman, Rock 'em, Sock' em Robots, I'm down.

[@nicoftime1534]

Or immortal grand prix either or would be awesome

[@JotaP1n]

Without any computer effects, only with perspective, scale proportions and prompts. That’s sick creativity.

[@unknownmemoirs]

So much math too

[@dabearsfan9]

This stuff blows my mind when I finally see how they did it. So so so much work and math for a few seconds of footage. Really makes you appreciate these older films

[@amythistxue1]

yeah old pre CGI visual effects people came up with some of the most insane things to make shots like this work, the part to me that most shows how they did it is when the little clay men are first running around one goes close to the kids feet, but his shadow doesn't appear until it's past what must have been the foreground section of wall with the kids to force the perspective

[@AccAkut1987]

Compared to (most) CGI those practical in-camera shots are so much more artistic. Really appreciate Corridor Crew to showcase these films here!

[@BioshadowX]

Love it when art students say they won't need math

[@ElitePRC]

I worked as an extra on Real Steel for several weeks in four scenes (bull fight, zoo fight, Twin Cities fight, Zeus fight), and Shawn Levi actually explained the whole virtual production process to us. It was fascinating to learn, and even cooler to experience first-hand. They had robot stand-ins on set that could do minimal movements, but otherwise, the full-body ambulatory stuff was all captured through the virtual camera.

[@mikekohary1075]

The Gate's special effects were mind-boggling in 1987, I'm glad you guys discovered this diamond in the rough!

[@DylanWOWilliams]

Dude, I saw this when I was seven and it was the only movie to have actually scared me up to that point.

[@RobbyRockaholic]

I watched that on tv when I was like 17 on tv and I thought I imagined it I could remember the name I thought it was called the hole , wow I can’t believe the budget that movie should make a comeback I’m gonna watch again for fun , lol and I remember the neighborhood was like McMansions from the 80s huge friggin houses

[@NotLuvely]

Real Steel is such an amazing movie. The team they had were Awsome! The Robots are so cool that whenever they were on screen, I never thought that it was CGI or Felt off. It was so well made.

[@ShiroCh_ID]

i agreed! it was done so well! although i know it was a some form of CGI but back then since im a kid idk what or how they can composite that now i know

[@blep4990]

yeah apparently they used actual boxers when they mo-capped it, it really lets the bots move and feel alive in terms of just moving right ya know

[@CesarDaSalad]

So in Zombieland 2 (or rather before it), the Columbia Pictures logo gets attacked by zombies, and the Columbia lady with a torch comes to life to defend herself. The transition from the static logo to the movement is so seamless that I can't tell which parts are animation and which live action, and I'd love if you guys took a look at it.

[@akeem2752]

I made a suggestion about a Tom Hanks film from the 80s I believe where it zooms in from the universal logo, to a real earth, then satellite view, then all the way down to Tom Hanks

Love you guys. Just a mention. "Real Steel" was not only Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots come to life, but the story was adapted from Richard Matheson Twilight Zone episode called "Steel" with Lee Marvin in the Hugh Jackman role. Special thanks for opening with "The Gate" and its use of the Darby O'Gill perspective effect. That flick blew my mind when it came out.

As someone who watched The Gate as a kid let me tell you it was completely terrifying. I remember it being extremely immersive and unnerving even during the downtimes.

[@KaladinVegapunk]

i saw it in 4th grade, like 1999 and thought it was a fun ride, i was a big fan of horror and 80s action movies, starship troopers had just come out, another legendary one, if youre already a fan of horror/action movies it doesnt phase you, maybe if a kid only saw spongebob it might freak them out haha the RLM episode on it is great though

[@KeithThedfordII]

@@KaladinVegapunk For context, I'm currently 19, and I was about 6-7 when I watched it. I haven't rewatched it since because I never owned the movie (my father had rented it at the time). Unfortunately, with age has come a grueling desensitisation to pretty much anything horror-related. If I ever do rewatch it and/or watch Star Troopers, I'll give you an update. It's a shame I didn't watch Star Troopers earlier in my life.

[@SVitaleFlims]

YES! They did it! I'm so stoked to see that you guys checked out "The Gate." I had suggested that one several times, so glad you looked into it. Old school VFX will always elicit the best reactions simply because of the limitations of the time. It really brings filmmaking back to being a magic trick. Love it!

[@7thparenthetical743]

Very true.

[@dogstar75]

I'm old enough to have seen The Gate at the Cinema at the age of 16 and the tiny demons blew my mind because I knew it wasn't stop motion, Robocop had come out that same year and you could still see the connection between the ED209 stop motion and old Ray Harryhausen effects. The gate was just too smooth, somewhat unsettlingly so because the demons movements looked too real Took me 36 years and Corridor Crew for me to find out how they did it, thanks guys. Also, the kid hugging dad with the melty head is Stephen Dorff, the gate was his first movie

[@jeffcastle235]

We need more movies like The Gate and House, those were the days!

Doesn't matter how old you are, like I'm in my late twenties and obviously you're older but we both share that same love of film, and it makes it possible for people to share their different experiences about the same subject. It's really cool 🙂

haha yeah, redlettermedia has a great re:view on it going into a lot of the cool stuff in that flick. but idk, i saw it as a kid in the late 90s in like 4th grade, robocop, starship troopers, the thing, absolutely loved em, it wasnt too violent or scary or anything haha, people are way too uptight about that stuff

[@anthonypena4584]

I don't think they have done Small Soldiers. That was an awesome movie I grew up watching. The effect for the toys was pretty good for back then. Especially since they like talking about shadows on CG characters. A lot of the toys had pretty good shadow work.

My old man showed this to me on Halloween when I was maybe 8 years old after I was begging to watch it with him, so he went like "Ok, but it won't be me that's not sleeping tonight". So the movie begun and the beginning was pretty slow but once we got to the point where his dad became a demon I was horrified. By far one of the best horror movies in my opinion. That, or maybe The Serpent and The Rainbow or American Werewolf in London. It's got to be one of those three

Featuring special effects from "bad" or retro movies, that are still satisfying or fun to watch. Then comparing those scenes to more modern/ recent examples. Throughout the episode, inherently highlighting the differences between real physics and movie physics. This could be a good way to feature some media that wouldn't normally appear on the channel. -but knowing my luck, you've probably already made an episode exactly like this, and I just haven't seen it, haha.

I have suggested this film to ya’ll for over a year. Straight up nightmare fuel when I was a kid. So glad you finally gave it a watch

[@chrundlethegreat2251]

13:49...Poison Ivy is DC right?

[@biggs2110]

@CorridorCrew I would love to see you guys attempt your own Darby O'Gill/The Gate shot now that you have the larger studio space! 🤘🏻

[@theowittig4644]

I'd love to see a breakdown of the portal/carriage scene from the new Dungeons and Dragons.

[@daviipowell7994]

The Gate, oh my god. Thank you, thank you guys soo much for this random thing. I watched that movie once when I was 7 or 8, I'm now 28 and for the last 10 or so years I've been searching for this movie off memory to rewatch it, and could not find it. Thank y'all sooo much.

[@Runo1923]

Thanks a lot guys. I am a fun of The Gate now. It is crazy how some old movies do things that current movies suck.

[@AM23.]

Can we just appreciate how consistent these guys are 😊

[@Hypno_BPM]

i really like how movies in the 80’s didn’t treat kids like babies and showed them crazy stuff.

[@riseofazrael]

Everyone was on cocaine

[@Leo-ws6cp]

oh yeah, i wish too i was traumatised. good times man good times.

[@Hypno_BPM]

@@Leo-ws6cp thanks for putting words in my mouth. getting creeped out or surprised as a kid means being traumatized in your eyes ? to play devils advocate , if gross , creepy stuff is traumatizing than i’m sure stupid, dumb, cutesy crap they put in kids movies and shows now is traumatizing as well.

[@AdamBladeTaylor]

It was a PG-13 movie. So it presumed a certain level of maturity in kids.

[@lydon5595]

There is a good reason why it's absolutely not recommended to watch movies like these as a kid nowdays. Yes, they can be traumatized, and it doesn't mean they will be patients in mental institutes, but these can affect parts of their lives, for example giving them irrational fears even as an adult. Not a terribly huge deal, but doesn't worth it at all.

[@gabrielczvengrosch7132]

Dear Corridor Crew, We need your help! Please replace MODOK in Quantumania. You can save the whole movie .. then you get to do the next marvel film :D PS : What if it was Jordans head ?

[@vibin_psilocybin]

DUUUUUUDE @ 5:24 THATS A RUSH POSTER ON THEIR WALL!!!! HELL YEEESSSSSSS BROTHERRRR

[@davidlogsdon7767]

Glad to see some love for The Gate. That movie was one of my favorites as a kid!

[@MrStrangeSensation]

I would go nuts for a modern movie made with The Gate/Darby style effects. Imagine what we could do today with big budget practical FX 🤤

[@cardwarriorfilms]

16:58 they use their CG EYES…

[@CyberN-7660]

🥁Badum tsss

[@matttheking1655]

Reel steel👌👌👌 Deserve a sequel for sure…

[@ILLUSK8R]

Have y'all talked about Surf's Up in any Animators React yet? They did like a REVERSE virtual production thing with handheld cameras similar to the Real Steel thing. My bad if you already covered it but if you haven't, PLEASE DO! 👍🏽👍🏽 -Jng

[@deanconway8284]

He said, "spider man, poison ivy, we chose marvel names.." bro, poison ivy is DC.

[@DenizenoftheAges]

I don't comment enough. Or ever. You guys (gender-neutral) consistently make some of the best content on KZbin. Just want to say thank you to you all for being so committed, so joyous, and so COMMITTED to bringing us what we don't deserve but beg for. You guys deserve the best awards and best lives ever. So much love. ❤️‍🔥🤘🍻

[@RatEnjoy3r]

that was very sweet of you to put gender neutral in the comment :)) i like that

[@abbster515]

Same I do too

[@dillonrussell5574]

The Gate gave me crazy nightmares and was the reason I was afraid of the closet and mirrors as a kid and I never hear anyone talk about it.

[@fRikimaru1974]

Nowadays we know that in movies they can make EVERYTHING with CGI. No limits. But in 80 if you watched something like that you just freaked out. No simple explanation for that kind of things. Just awe.

[@ChadVanHalen5150]

Thank you for talking about The Gate, one of the all time greats that is criminally overlooked

[@eternalheckler]

13:43 He said Poison Ivy was Marvel, and now I have to do the most heartbreaking unsubscribe of my life 😜

[@grimnartusk265]

He’s done this before lol, or after, or both. I’m not sure if its intentional at this point lmao there’s no way he doesn’t know and the rest of the crew hasn’t said something

[@caveman6933]

wow what a good bideo

[@Geralt1179]

Yes, a good bideo

[@cheeseballdog]

I love there bideos

[@triano3478]

You haven’t even watched it yet

[@prod.lyelye]

Quite a good bideo

[@va5780]

One of the bideos for sure

[@turbochoochoo]

The new Dungeons and Dragons movie had a great mix of vfx and practical effects.

[@askingwhy123]

I absolutely love that Corridor has created a workable business model that doesn't seem to depend on gigging for Marvel. Amazing and fun and never stop!

[@andrewloftus8782]

Seeing the The Gate unlocked some serious childhood memories. That eye in the hand!

[@josephm2347]

Ah yes... Poison Ivy... Classic Marvel character... smh
