you for got ONE thing to mention about the interstellar black hole. If the movie hole is compared with the nasa picture taken this year (2019) its the same. yes blurry because of distance but one can CLEARLY see that disc effect happening in the official photos shot by nasa. confirmng the computer simulation, and perhaps providing the clearest and most accurate depiction of a black hole that man kind will EVER get to see.

EDIT: 10 months later and people are still going "Um AcTUaLly..." Guys, I know, you can't take a picture of something that doesn't let light escape. But it was still a huge discovery which wasn't even expected to be possible and which was still pulled off by a bunch of clever as heck people. It's funny to see something like that just after you hear something like this in a youtube video. Can you all stop bitching now? You're cluttering up my notifications with the same thing over and over.

[@Ak_ash]

That was not a picture of the black hole it self. It was like the shadow of the black hole which was out lined by the hot glowing gas that was falling inside the black hole at the event horizon ( The point after which even light can't escape out , so it's invisible beyond the even horizon). The telescope array involved in this is called the Event horizon telescope. Edit : It maybe possible that you already know all of this.

Like, anyone could tell you what wind or water is supposed to look like, but a black hole? That's just crazy.

Something I love about interstellar is that for that simulation no one knew it would like that. Like yeah, physicists knew that black holes had dilation and gravitional lensing, but no one knew you would be able to see the other side of the accretion disc. Everyone thought it would be a disc going around this pitch black sphere and that was it. They're not kidding when they say that the movie spawned 2 research papers, they may have found it by accident but it surprised scientists while simultaneously making things click

[@Ignacio.Romero]

That is completely false. You can't say physicists knew about gravitational lensing but didn't knew the accretion disc would ben, It doesn't make any sense. In fact, the first drawing of an accurate mathematical model of a black hole was done in 1979, and in some ways it was more realistic than the one in Interstellar

God, the lego movie looks so good. My favorite bit about that opening sequence when the Main Character opens his eyes is the light contrast on the "paint" on his face. If you look closely, the. Circumference of the eyes have different levels of light based on the distance from the light source, and because of that, it helps you see that the "painted" on features of the lego head are slightly raised off the plastic. As someone who grew up with legos, it just adds to the realism.

Interstellar’s black hole is what a black hole actually looks like, if you looked at it from above and blurred it, it would look identical to the first image of a black hole

It actually isn’t. The black hole in interstellar doesn’t account for the Doppler effect. If it accounted for the Doppler effect, it would look much more different. Christopher Nolan probably thought that the average viewer wouldn’t understand or care much about such a detail so he just excluded it.

their point wasn't that it's the image was perfect and superior, it's that their CG work was indistinguishable from an actual stop motion film, all the imperfections that are associated with that medium were present.

The interstellar one is my favorite because Recently we Photographed a real black hole and discovered that the math was correct, every black hole that has an accretion disk should also have a Halo effect. More science though coming, not all Accretion Disks will Glow like that one, in Interstellar they were specifically using a Super Massive Black Hole your average blackhole doesn't cause a glow because it can't Ionize the gas or there simply isn't enough of it. With supermassive black holes though there's so much of it that it's basically a Nebula.

A nebula is different from an accretion disk around a blackhole mate.

Kip Thorne not only helped produced Interstellar, he actually published a book, "The Science of Interstellar." It's definitely worth a read, especially when they land on a planet that is so close to the supermassive blackhole, how it affects the waves, and how this gravitational force turns a few hours into 25 years for the man on board.

It's been over 20 years since my last animation using Light Wave 3D. But after years of concussions, and just almost losing that ability to sit long hours and develop let alone sketch a piece of art, I'm just glad I still have that eye for art appreciation. Well, working with computers and 3D animation got me to where Iam today. But, I do miss the journey you take when creating a comic story board or even a 30 second render. I can say this, your channel sparks that little light in my mind to those creative days of old. I can fully relate with the comments you make and when I watch movies and animations. The discussions on craftsmanship, the pain staking hours, and little details that most people would miss. And I just thought I was anal about movies. LOL! I just subscribed and I'm really enjoying it! BTW. Have you guys done "The Abyss?" I'll have to look and see.

@XXJaycamXX a photo is an image of light...radio is just low frequency light, so what is it if not a photo? Andrew is right, the "black hole" the team at the Center for Astrophysics imaged was actually the accretion disc, you can even see the similarities to Interstellar.

[@CantankerousDave]

woobilicious. It wasn’t the black hole itself, it was the accretion disc around it. That image also showed that the disc was spinning - one side is brighter due to it spinning at nearly the speed of light (blueshifted). They deliberately dropped that from the movie’s depiction because it was more dramatic when it was bright throughout.

Everyone talking about the black hole in Interstellar, but Imma talk about my boy Chappie. I thought the CGI in that movie was great, and the movie really makes you feel for a robot, and connect with him.

[@__haki]

A note on ACES and the Lego movie: ACES is a color space (i'll get back to that). It is not the reason to which you should attribute the stunning looks of the movie. "Previous animated movies couldn't do something like this, because if they exposed..." - I suppose that's making an analogy to exposing a digital sensor (or film) to light, which in the sense that reference is made, is just irrelevant to CG movies. I mean, what's that concern with dynamic range for linear renders...what are we talking about? what dynamic range limitations are there to overcome for exrs? In general, CGI is output as 16/32 float and that will vastly exceed any camera/film dynamic range out there. That's nothing new and totally achievable without ACES (but i'm getting ahead of myself). It seems a lot is attributed to technological advancement (vs previous limitations). Like a magic switch in your render engine, the ACES checkmark miraculously adds 3478923743 stops of range. No. ACES is a color space used in a color-managed workflow. It modulates the input signal, and here's the catch - in a display driver (not a screen). It maps your color grading controls (the wheels will feel different; big moves will affect the highlights a lot less). You can monitor a signal with all sorts of LUT mappings in your display driver. ACES is one. Heck if you trust your scopes you could do that blindly. The point is to have consistency as you move from one phase to the next and among artists/departments. Then, again, our physical reality has the final word, because no screen out there can output the ACES gamut. Oh, so we can't even see ACES. Exactly. ACES is a good attempt at standardising (and thus, in large, simplifying) the troubled topic of color management, which matters all that much when you start ingesting live footage from different camera makes. As for dynamic range and amount of detail (which has the power to distract), often less is more in my view, when creative goals are leading the coloring decisions, rather than technological advancements for their own sake. At the end of the day almost certainly 90% of all people will see the Lego movie in good old rec709 at best, albeit with better informed creative decisions powered by ACES color-preserving capabilities (not unique to it!).

[@flopster8139]

[@AnnDVine]

One neat fact about The Lego Movie is that they added a seam on Emmett's hair (like you said), but then when the Emmet figure came back from Lego, he didn't have a seam! That imperfection only exists in the animation! Also they didn't use any motion blur, to replicate the look of real stop-motion, but it looked real funky, so they would use duplicate figures when the characters move real fast that looks like a motion blur smear when played back!
