VFX Artists React to Bad & Great CGi 36 (ft. Freddie Wong)

[@supersizesenpai]

I'm so happy to see people who appreciate the jaw dropping VFX in speed racer. I love this movie and it blows my mind that it gets so little attention. That final race is visually brain melting amazing.

[@ryanatorryanson9535]

It was too far away from the original cartoon. They were relying on nostalgia of the (at that point) 30 somethings that watched it back in the early 80s, but They changed it TOO much.

[@supersizesenpai]

@@ryanatorryanson9535 😂😂😂 If there is one anime that would need a revamp for the new age its Speed Racer. You say "too much was change" but I disagree. Honestly outside of the vibrant colors (obviously) I really don't see what else is so different. They had every main character including the damn monkey. Which (if I'm being honest) would be a hard sell in any movie but they somehow pulled it off without it being cringey or distracting. The movie also had the action filled racing with advanced high powered vehicles just like in the anime. Sure the movie is going to be an upgrade to the anime because the anime came out in the 60's. What people seem to forget when they criticize this movie is that the anime was as goofy as it was action filled and this movie gave us every ounce of that. So I'm not really understanding why you think so much was changed when they've clearly added everything from the original anime. I honestly think you have no idea what you are talking about but whatever.

In case you guys actually read this: Thank you very very much for this mention. I remember the early FXhome days vividly and it was absolutely influentual to me growing up in that place. The inspiration was mutual and you‘ve obviously surpassed me in everything a long time ago. I still have a lot of the old fxhome videos on my harddrive and you were, even back then when you started, a huge inspiration. All the best wishes for you guys, your friends and families from switzerland (not austria). 😛 (Oh, and: It was composited frame by frame on photoshops „filmstrip“ format, which was basically a huuuuuuge file containing all frames from the top down. Times were veeeeery different.) 😀

I think Speed Racer was made to be like it’s anime origins, hence why the actors are so extra at times. Still is one of the best movies in my opinion. The fact that the cgi still holds up to this day is just amazing

[@EzKay_PX]

Thats stilization vs realism, stylistic stuff is ALWAYS going to be stylish, realistic stuff will remain tethered to the times

[@Anonymous-73]

@@EzKay_PXRealism does have its place, not every movie needs to have a stylish look to it, but it can make all the difference.

[@EzKay_PX]

@Anonymous-73 That is true, however, and especially in the earlier years of CGI, realistic graphics will eventually start looking outdated, even amazingly made CGI will show its date sooner or later However, CGI or animation in general that focuses on having strong art direction will never feel outdated. Take this very movie for example, or anime like Gurren Lagann or movies like Into the spiderverse, if you didnt know about them beforehand it would be pretty hard to "date" them based on the animation quality.

I have been trying desperately for years to tell people how incredible Speed Racer is. After I saw it in the cinemas, I went to the box office and bought another ticket for the next session and saw it twice in a row. It's one of my favorite movies and no one in my immediate circles has any love for it for reasons that I have never been able to understand. I started to think I was crazy. I can't express how much it means to me, after over 10 years of holding onto this, to hear people gush over it in the way I have ALWAYS thought it deserves to be. You have made my flipping year.

That movie was so confusing. BUt i watched it on bootleg idk if that copy had some shit missing from it or what

[@kennisthecreator]

Words cant express how gratifying it is to see somebody who loves Speed Racer just as much as I do! Hit the nail on the head w/ that review. Couldn't have said it better myself!

[@Ferrera14]

Every time this video appears on my recommended list I click just to see Freddie's excitement talking about Speed Racer

[@Ferrera14]

And here I am again ahahahahahahahah

[@Ferrera14]

It is that time of the year again... Just saw Speed Racer and is still a pretty amazing movie

[@smithwillnot]

Freddie: Tell me what to do with my life? Me: Go back to making short vfx videos... There now he's got to do it. If this comment gets enough likes for him to notice it.

I am so grateful that you guys appreciated Speed Racer to the level you did. I felt the same way about it, but I am the only person I know that enjoyed it in that way.

[@Nekon14]

Sam looked like he was dying inside at the intro. Haha.

Speed racer is an underrated movie. So glad that time is making it justice.

Finally, finally, finally... After asking pretty much every episode for Speed Racer you guys finally did it and with Freddie! And I've been saying it for a while now: Speed Racer has one of the best climax sequences in movie history.

[@adv_cult]

It made me so happy to know others got absolute chills watching speed racer. An absolutely beautiful movie, yall rock and so does everyone in the comments showing love for it.

No. Not even close when you take into account how much they changed they actual story. They were relying on the nostalgia factor of the 30 somethings who’d watched it growing up, but made too many changes.

I love Speed Racer. I watch this movie religiously. Seen it at least 300 times because since I was young my parents would play this movie for me instead of baby shows like micky mouse ect. I know every line from the movie and tear up at the end of the movie like every other time I watch it. Speed Racer is a master piece

[@alexjackyperson101]

I go be honest idk how I love it when I was a kid

[@syroco]

It's aight

[@Goblinmodeing]

It's such a good movie that keeps the fun cartoonish energy as the cartoon but also it's just visually stunning it gets slept on so much I show people it all the time they always love it

[@champFichtnerBourne]

I watched when I was 13 o 14, because as a child, I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF THE SHOW. I was surprised to fin the visual style to much cartoonish, and so much humour. The first time I saw it I was a little dissapointed. Then, I rewatched again and now I really love it. Such an underrated gem. One of most visually unique films I've ever seen

[@CORRIENTECREATIVA]

it truly is a a master piece.

[@nathanvanman615]

For Freddie I would say no beard, but for the amazing VFX artists at Corridor Digital please react to the car chase scene from The Sorcerers Apprentice.

[@nathanvanman615]

Also it has Nicholas Cage

[@kendallmajor1104]

Speed Racer finally getting love just makes me smile

[@HobosCanFly]

Coming from a racer's (motocross) perspective, there is no other film that captures the pure emotion of racing like Speed Racer, especially the first and last races. Goosebumps every time.

I remember back when Speed Racer was out, I kept going back to that ending montage each and every time. Speed Racer is criminally underrated. One of my favourite films of all time.

[@brealll9647]

It's a work of art. Love that movie!

[@abelmatw]

@@brealll9647 couldn't agree more.

[@brealll9647]

@@abelmatw I can get it why people may not love it but, the more I watch the more I consider it a masterpiece. I think it will go down as the most understood, underappreciated, underrated movies of all time. Every frame has a purpose, a story, a narrative. The transitions are masterful and creative, kinetic, artful. The music is fantastic and it has a compelling story as well. I could go on and on about it.... definitely my top 10- 15 of all time and I'm in my mid forties..

[@abelmatw]

@@brealll9647 same here. Simply loved the film growing up. And I'm 8n my early 20's now. Still young I guess. 😂 one of the major aspects of the film I loved was about the bond between brothers. That was a real heartbreaker.

[@richie6799]

speed racer was such an underrated film like honestly. it was one of the most stylistic films of the time and still holds up today. it achieved the look that everyone wishes the anime live-action remakes had.

[@owenoseroff]

At 18 yo, and and a car guy and die hard racing fan, I can say with so much confidence that Speed Racer will always be one of my favorite movies. The cast, the acting, the story, the visual effects, the emotional narrative, everything that makes this movie different is what makes it so special! Also to see Speed Racer finally getting the love and credit it deserves after the last 15 years is so satisfying and amazing!

Nah, man. A properly groomed and sculpted beard looks anything but lazy, but you have to constantly work at it. The goatee is for when you want to be lazy about not being lazy.
