This was the movie that introduced me to motion capture.

When I was told a week after what was going on behind the scenes, it blew my mind as a 9-year old that those were real people moving around being later "turned into cartoons."

“They Shall Not Grow Old” blew me away, had no idea it was a thing and I can’t wait to watch it.

[@jesseclark7105]

Just now realized how brutal the title is. Literally "These men will die young." What excellent, horrifying description of WWI.

[@SunflowerSpotlight]

Jesse Clark It’s also a line in a famous poem about WWI that is amazing. For the Fallen, by Lawrence Bunyan. It gets used a lot around Remembrance Day. “They fell with their faces toward the foe. / They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; / age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. / at the going down of the sun and in the morning / we will remember them. .... To the end, to the end, they remain.” There’s more stanzas to it than that, and I referenced it wonkily, not full stanazas. There is some stunning imagery. I highly recommend it. As an editor, I’ve come across quite a few bits of work inspired by this poem. To me it’s up there with In Flanders Field (by John McCrae) as the ultimate poetry inspired by war. That niche requires a lot of things to happen in a short amount of time and it needs to be balanced, the horror of war, the sadness at the loss, the need to fight (depending on the war) either to survive or because its the right thing to do, the soldiers’ experiences, the worry of those back home, the suffering of the wounded, the bravery of knowing sacrifice, honoring those woh died. It’s a complex sub-genre, which is why really well written war poetry can hit people so powerfully. The title of the movie, while a bit long for modern film, was really superbly chosen by Peter, I think. If you know the poem, it’s INSTANTLY evoked, all of those feelings get transferred to the movie, immediately you feel more involved and are more likely to see it or share the trailer. If someone doesn’t know the poem, it hits them as being a bit morbid, but undeniably old-world in its phrasing, so it still stands out. Peter’s really had some missteps, but when he’s at his best, it’s rarely eclipsed.

[@spamjosh6526]

I got to see the movie in theaters, AMAZING

[@greyfox1127]

"They Shall Not Grow Old" is astonishing. I believe that not only did they do the lip reading that they mention in this video but they also allowed for Regional accents and dialects based on the different battalions etc It is an amazing, powerful and haunting piece of film making that will live with you long after you watch it. In the UK they showed it on Remembrance Day 2018 as it was the Centenary. It really brings home the reality of the 1st World War, the initial sense of adventure and derring do and the harsh reality. Thereare some really harrowing shots of injuries, death, decay and disease as well as the terrifying power of the weapons - the dome of earth thrown up by one explosion/mine and the tilesof the building shaking and trembling as they fire a howitzer. Everyone should watch it.

[@howitzer551]

Your right about the accents thing. As another cool side notes a bunch of the songs which were actually sung by the troops in life were not added till the movie was almost done. Peter Jackson needed something to fill certain parts of the movies but didn't like a lot of the music they had tried already. So the BBC sent him the lyrics to a bunch of the songs, but being in New Zealand no one had the right accent so they went to the British Consulate and got a bunch of random guys to sing them so it would sound like average soldiers taking a break instead of professional singers. Also Niko is right the effect is used for more than just showing off they could do it, the color is for the story telling of the movie. In fact they actually get the colors on the some of the tanks and vehicles wrong because there references are from later but similar looking models after the war that were a different color, but that obviously isn't the point. EVERYONE should see this movie, it is a masterpiece and I am so glad they gave it attention.

[@Ajsandborg]

Also i liked how when the movie goes from the "training" to the front lines, there starts this constant rumble in the background. Artillery etc. And that background rumble only stops fully when the war stops. A nice idea and i didn't even notice it at first, but it makes the movie feel more real since that's probably what the men at the trenches really heard all day long.

[@sgtpepper1138]

My wife and I got the last 2 tickets of the last showing, such a great documentary.

[@greyfox1127]

@@sgtpepper1138 It's a brilliant documentary. It also really highlights the reality of the First world War. I think in general the Second World War gets a lot more "coverage" for want of a better word probably purely due to it being more recent meaning more available eye witness accounts but also more available footage and higher quality etc Good work on the tickets and hope you both have a brilliant Christmas & a happy & healthy 2022!

I'm a technical artist working in games. It's fascinating to see your breakdowns of these old movies and inspires me to try some of the techniques we used to use on older films in real-time with current-gen hardware :) I recently discovered this channel and have binge watched a tonne of episodes. Thanks a tonne for all of your hard work!

gotta react to the aging effects in "The Irishman" on Netflix

[@Studeb]

Including the information of how old they are supposed to be. I thought the de-aging looked OK until I read that De Niro's character was supposed to be born in 1920, not 1900.

React to the battle scene from Narnia: the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

[@jessemoody2218]

Better yet, compare Aslan and other CG lions to the Lion King.

[@sandramattsson6132]

@@jessemoody2218 Yes! Good point!

[@Niobesnuppa]

Oh man, I remember being impressed by those when the movie first came out, and then watching the movie again a couple of years ago. Those effects have not aged well, especially the greenscreen.

[@fifoffjfufs]

shoutout to the editing in the vfx videos showing all of the BTS and samples from them movies to give context for what they're talking about.

Just a great job of blending fascinating CG examples with accurate, super-helpful, elegantly stated insight into the hows and whys of the tech. Really an outstanding video. Thanks so much for making this!

Hi guys!!! I'm new to the channel and I'm obsessed with all you do! I'm a huge Twister fan, and I know that movie by heart. And although it has many bloopers, like cameras shadows, or crew members in glass, or things that appeared broken in one take and fine in the other take, is still, for me, to this day, a movie well done. We can watch that movie today and it doesn't seem to have CGI

Remember that one deleted scene from Sid the science kid where he asks his parents where baby’s come from and they told him that they can’t say where all baby’s come from but they can say where he came from and they pointed to a wall and Sid no clipped trough that wall and found out that he’s a cartoon character and he was so happy so he went to tell his parents and his parents erased his memory using that men in black eraser thing to erase his memory. Just me, ok. 😅

Polar Express: I found that with every subsequent viewing the "uncanniness" decreased. I still see the flaws (the stiffness of the facial expressions) but it has ceased to be disturbing the way it did in my first viewing.

"They shall not grow old" is such a fantastic movie. I try to watch it once a year in November. And I say that as a German. Its a bit sad that our dead Grandfathers arent remembered the same way here.

I wonder how much German footage from WWI survived? So much was lost during the Second World War. I wonder if much of the footage by German cameramen was also lost?

I'm guessing that Niko got it wrong, since I think I saw Hitler with his tapered mustache in that footage. He still had a full handlebar mustache during WWI, and got it shaved down between wars.

@@Kindrick The movie is a WW1 movie. So.

[@Kadi_Fedoruk]

@@Kindrick It is world war one footage; the most commonly used camera by both sides was motorized, not hand cranked. Sound was still not able to be captured by the camera itself (the motor was too loud) but some ww2 footage has sound captured at the same time, by broadcasting trucks further back from the action.
