Zach King doesn't need to add mirror smudges, my screen is dirty enough that it sells it.

[@haravikk]

There was a mirror? 😂

[@DavidDeCorso]

Please drop BetterHelp as a sponsor, they shared information about users' mental health and other sensitive data with advertisers.

[@its-aydonus6842]

And about 3-4 years ago were allowing staff to be abusive and destructive to patients while many complaints were filed against them, nobody was removed as a part of it. Also not just advertisers, the sell client information to whoever can pay for it.

[@TheSmokingMustache]

Sounds like clients should be talking to lawyers and getting a class action suit going/

[@LiamMorrison-lu6ss]

All online companies share your information

[@chrismofer]

Of course they did, why would you ever give your mental health issue information to a huge data driven website? Just go to an actual talk therapist sometimes they're free or subsidized heavily. Sad to see better help pushed by so many KZbinrs. Mental health and the privacy of your issues is super duper important it's not to be given away to a website.

[@shmekelfreckles8157]

Not to mention that the entire concept of “easy convenient therapy” just doesn’t work

[@ShutterAuthority]

It's such an honour to be featured on the show alongside some of my favorite VFX Artists/creators!! 14:55

It's close to Mysore ;)

[@desiRenders]

@ShutterAuthority You deserve it bro

[@mintywz]

At this point I start to believe, that the only reason you guys havent done Dune 2 react yet, is that you are waiting for Dany Villeneuv himself to get comfortable on the couch.

[@wathsi99]

They're definitely getting someone from Dune 2. Are VFX featurettes released on the film?

[@jh.f30]

Haven't seen this comment before

[@bigdaddycoatesy3079]

[@victorbond]

C’est Denis Villeneuve, pas Dany.

[@andrewparker318]

Bro his name is Denis not Dany lol

[@TheAeroEvan]

"There's so much talent out there, that's so inspiring actually" That is some serious praise. Imagine a legend like Zach King looking at your work and feeling inspired. JalexRosa is pretty incredible.

[@s-e-z-o]

Better help is known to be a bad company with bad therapists.

[@diggity1039]

[@MittensTheMurderKitty]

Finally! JalexRosa's time to shine!!!! Been following him since his first upload. Crazy talented dude. Just sad he didn't get more exposure, the guy has awesome vfx breakdown videos. Can you get Jalex on the couch?

[@johnp5250]

One Day we can only hope

[@edinspiegel]

Getting Jalex on React Would be awesome!

[@RigRacers]

I learned so much of my VFX from watching him do his work, super inspiring and crazyyyy talented. They need to do an entire episode around or with him!

[@cuhleef]

Jalex finally gets a react from Corridor. That guy is so talented.

[@mcpudd1540]

“It’s a detail no one notices” Literally the first thing I looked for lol.

[@mamunoz41]

I'm convinced BetterHelp is the epitome of money talks bullshit walks. Like they are a terrible company but all of our favorite content creators back them. It's sad, but like I said, money talks.

[@metronicmagician1816]

I’m guessing there’s some multi year contract that they have people sign that basically forces them to take sponsorships from them, and most like a NDA of some kind as well a bout said contract. Money is enticing, and I’m guessing people just don’t realize who better help is until it’s too late.

[@melvindoo2396]

@@metronicmagician1816 Why would you assume that? The only things that does is put less accountability on the youtubers who are advertising us this shit, youtubers can be bad people too, stop romanticizing entertainers

[@metronicmagician1816]

@@melvindoo2396 how is talking about contract practices romanticizing? I’m not even really pushing the blame off of the KZbinrs. They could do their own research before accepting anything from a sponsor, but don’t either because they don’t care, didn’t even think to do that, or the money was just too damn good. Hell this doesn’t even get into the KZbinrs that are actually an entire business of people working together where you could have a team made to get sponsorships at their best deals, and thus there is zero ethics involved. This ain’t romanticizing, it’s just showing the awfully amoral aspects of business ethics.

[@vipe650r]

@@melvindoo2396Assuming the worst without cause is equally wrong. Resenting people because of assumptions you’ve made makes no sense. If we don’t know the truth, we have no grounds to speak.

That SNL Penn and Teller skit was so amazing the first watch!

[@afiqaizat94]

Coming due Sofyank was mentioned! ❤

[@NamesForDogs]

BetterHelp sold patient medical information to advertisers. Don't advertise this unethical scam of a company.

[@bmg50barrett74]

7:40 "No editing/VFX" That can't be correct. There's definitely editing and effects happening here. It's not 100% practical. They are painting out the edge of the mirror, and you can see that the mirror doesn't actually sit on the "door line". It's definitely a real mirror, but they're doing a bit of "movie magic" to help sell the effect.

[@joakimarvidsson4657]

And he walks right in front of the mirror without a reflection. Guess he’s a vampire.

[@Nebelum]

This is what I was thinking. It’s fine if they used VFX, but they emphasize that it’s “all practical”. That and the fact that the guy didn’t remember how they did most of the effects really frustrated me. Is it just because he has a team and doesn’t do every part of the shoot? Like, maybe he “doesn’t remember” because he didn’t work on those parts of the projects himself? That’s fine, but it’s all kind of presented as if he’s an auteur of everything.

[@srawat27]

They featured mah boy Jalex Rosa...Less Go...Thas the goat right there

[@anasazmi8554]

I'm glad Sofyank was mentioned here, as he's a big fan of Zach's work and they've collaborated at some point, so I've been hoping for him to be mentioned here.

[@alastor461]

This is my Saturday morning cartoon. I look forward to it every week! Thank you Corridor Crew

[@jakeras]

same!!

[@brj_han]

Get Bill Pope on the couch to discuss the miniatures, SFX and puppetry of Team America! You could then talk about The Matrix, Spiderman, Jungle Book and other movies he's worked on.... 😁

[@evilmonkey2184]

seeing Zach King react to JalexRosa was a huge highlight for me. that kid is insanely skilled in VFX and hearing the crew talk about how impressive it is; i guess i just mean that its nice to hear people that are great at their craft recognize how awesome what he can do actually is

[@m4lenca]

Really nice to see Jalex showing in the show. Would love to see more of him here!

[@Piemur1]

I would love if the Corridor Crew could have a collab VFX trick short with Zach. Even cameos would be appreciated.

[@AnimeshPathak]

Hey guys, I'm a subscriber and I love your videos, but please do not take money from better help! I spoke to a doctor buddy of mine and she told me how they are not guaranteed to be using licensed professionals and may end up doing more harm than good. Also, as a tech professional I fear that most likely they will end up selling your data.

[@jashuwolverine191]

I think better help was charged for selling the data I guess. I am not sure if they were charged or just accused but yaah I think they did sell the customer's data.

[@user-hu4ol2ip5o]

I wonder how big their payouts are for content creators to not decline the sponsorship. I think everybody has heard the shadiness surrounding them at this point.

[@HopeHendershot-Moskal]

Very cool to showcase Raghav's (Shutter Authority) work. I love his stuff.

[@heyjustj]

17:46 I heard “longetivity” while watching this tired right before bed and thought my brain glitched haha.

[@BrandonCMaximum]

I'm glad to see Kidding get some sort of recognition. I absolutely loved that show, and I feel like it mostly flew under the radar.

[@edwar616]

I'd love to see a Film Riot collab

[@varkboys9999]

I just recently rigged up a robot for the first time in blender. I had no idea what I was doing but managed to learn how to and then do it in one day. To anyone who thinks it's an incredibly tall mountain to climb to be good at vfx, you're right! But, you can get started real easily. The resources are out there, you can do it today!

[@Studeb]

How could anybody not tell that Penn and Teller were upside down in that scene? They look like they're about to pop from high blood pressure.

[@niceguy191]

Yeah, even if you didn't notice right at first, the studio audience laughter lets you know what's up

[@TheShepherdFilms]

Watch it in 1986, on a 19" 4:3 tube TV, especially barely knowing who Penn And Teller were at the time. I think you'd have a different opinion, things evolve and people become culturally smarter about things like that.

[@kinemaxis526]

The first time I saw it was on a 19" CRT TV with bad reception. I was about 12 and had never seen a camera trick quite like that. I was also obsessed with magic so I thought I knew what to look for, so I was thinking strings or a fan or something. Until the reveal it was one of the most mind blowing tricks I'd ever seen and then afterwards it was even better.

[@snuffmeister6720]

switch to 144p and watch it from 3 meters away on a saturday night while zooted out of your mind on coke

[@crimetimeproductions6340]

That's what I was thinking. Before they even said anything I was like "what the hell is going on with his arms?"

[@Chronicoverburn]

Let's all take a second to appreciate how much joy this show has brought

[@ProFilmGuy]

In the classroom, you see Zack's legs masking and tracking is slipping behind the desk. Awesome work all around lol no surprise

When his hand grabs through the mirror, you can see that his sleeve is still dirty from the last take :D

I went in expecting a big cheesy mess, and it had lots of that for sure, but I was genuinely surprised at how good it was, story and style.
