Whoops! Andy Cheng, not Andy Le was fight coordinator for the bus sequence. Both Andys are extremely talented, that's our mistake - apologies Andy!

[@jennatolls6121]

Lmao

[@chancedean5341]

Perhaps explaining some confusion for anyone reading this, it is also worth noting Andy Le (yes the guy shown, no not spelled lee) was indeed also involved in this film, as he plays the masked antagonist Death Dealer, contributing his own distinct style to his scenes. You can find him on KZbin at martialclub, where there’s a lot of behind the scenes footage and his own Kung fu shorts and fight scenes.

[@rafaysyed520]

@@TheAdventuresofMightyThor not at all lol. Second place behind shang chi for sure, but go back rn and compare any two fight scenes from either movie. TWS made a lot of improvements over typical action sequences in previous Marvel and Hollywood movies, such as improved choreography and movement, and a more talented/experienced stunt team, but it also suffers from some of the biggest mistakes that dragged previous films down. Shots cutting before the impact of a hit, and then stitching into a shot after the hit has landed is one of the big ones. It causes strikes to lose a ton of force on camera because the actual impact is never shown or felt. If a shot didn't cut the impact out in TWS, then it suffered from shakey cam to hide the softer impacts of the choreography, resulting in very light hits. Shang chi, on the other hand, for many of the fight scenes at least, kept long shots for not just one, but multiple hit impacts AND kept a much more stabilized shot from the camera. The stunt team on this was so incredibly talented. The hits felt impactful and were usually strung together in comparatively long sequences between cuts, all while keeping the camera stabilized in motion. I think it was actually this Corridor channel themselves that did a breakdown of this exact thing a while back which i recommend, where they discussed why Hollywood (and they used Marvel shots as examples) suffered from usually less fluid and impactful martial arts action when compared to specifically Hong Kong action sequences. Definitely worth checking out.

Corridor: Bad and Great CGI Also Corridor: Invites the movie's FX Director, forcing themselves to only mention the good stuff

[@WhatsMikeUpTo]

Yeah I gotta say that this disappointed me. They should have renamed the video to just have "Good CGI". I personally thought (subjectively) that Shang Chi had a lot of trash CGI that totally took me out of the experience of the movie (not to mention the screen writing was quite lacking). Specifically the bamboo forest, and pretty much everything in Ta-Lo. My wife had to tell me to shut up since I kept complaining about it while we were watching it. Lol. I understand that budgets and time-frames can be tight, and there was a chunk of decent CGI in this, but man did a lot of it ring hollow and actually distract from the movie itself. I would have Corridor to do a reaction that doesn't involve the people working on the movie so that they can actually react to it in it's entirety. Maybe start a new series for behind the scenes looks?

[@martinjamieson]

@@WhatsMikeUpTo Not just the CGI was bad in Ta-Lo, it was everything. It just reverted to a basic MCU wide screen bad vs good fight. The background actors flopping around not really doing anything. The main characters somehow not being attacked and can have conversations while a brawl is happening all around. The choreography, the pacing, color choices everything just went to cheesey standard MCU.

[@WhatsMikeUpTo]

@@IDiggPattyMayonnaise Yeah agreed. It was so bad. Took me completely out of the movie. Not to mention that the story just didn’t make any sense. The whole setup and payoff was lacking. The stakes weren’t there.

[@grantmalone]

​@@WhatsMikeUpTo Worse thing for me was the frequent obviousness of characters shot on green screen surrounded by CGI with lighting that didn't match and fake looking edges. The conversation in this video about the incredible work of artists making the edges perfect just falls flat when in so many shots it was awful. Amazing work in some shots and totally unconvincing work in others doesn't make for a great experience. You just get the feeling while watching that they had way too much work to do, even without covid restrictions. And yeah, simply no need for soulless CGI dragon fight at the end when the whole set up was about a dude and his dad. It should have stuck to that, and the emotion from the mother angle, which was decent. Draco ex machina was boring.

[@harrihaffi2713]

Is Heisei the 90’s movies?

[@ThatSpecialNobody]

@@harrihaffi2713 yep

[@harrihaffi2713]

@@ThatSpecialNobody Those were good

[@aracelireyes3986]

The lions and dragons were crazzzyyy!! I was in awe

[@bacail]

I love it when you can get in people that worked on the film. Awesome video!

[@jedizx]

Ive been with you guys for so long and I love how big and amazing you guys have gotten man!!!

[@sora_mugen]

Amazing to see such a high class professional in this show. Looking forward to see more of such breakdowns with people from the industry!👏

[@byang2453]

I love that bus fight sequence! I grew up on all of those Jackie Chan Hong Kong action movies, and I'm SO happy to see that cinematic style more in the Marvel universe.

[@marcuslobo5765]

Loved the show. Joe was an excellent (bill and ted style excellent) guest. Its great to see the people behind the movies sharing their insights

[@OneProof]

This is one of the best episode for VFX Artist React, so enjoyable and very informative.

[@suddenshotty]

This series has been so successful, thank you for presenting all the awesome work we do in VFX/Animation to the larger audience

[@SpencerButlerVA]

I know you guys are largely focused in the visual side of things, but with your collective years of experience editing videos I think it would be really cool to make a few episodes of "Sound Designers React" There's a lot of amazing work in that field that goes unrecognized. Great video as always, love hearing these perspectives!

[@nava6474]

hell yeahh

[@MinorKey135]

That's an awesome idea!

[@timogul]

Fantastic work from everyone on the visuals for this project. I still loved the "How I met your Father" fight scene.

[@kylecutshaw8940]

It’s awesome to listen to a seasoned veteran Keep it up

[@LeoDDJ]

That wipe to the model aircraft was so hilarious, I love it! xD

[@catlord8568]

It's amazing to see how people can make these scenes! It's absolutely insane how far VFX has come since the very early days of Hollywood.

[@MTGJosh]

Freaking love these videos, wish they were longer!

[@LukeMackie]

These are getting better by the episode, solid episode here guys. Super intriguing.

[@UmbrellaGent]

In the next episode of "stuntmen react" you should take a look at the amazing stunts of the late Jean Paul Belmondo in favour of his memory.

[@JKJOO]

Would be amazing !

[@MichaelJaeYT]

Hey can you check out the Ryan vs Dorkman lightsaber duel videos? I feel like for back then they were visually WAY ahead of any other star wars film and I can't remember how many times I would guilty binge them over and over when I was little

[@roaming224]

Hello there! Love your videos!!

[@dwadon9621]

I totally agreed those vids really bring me back to the old days hearing those names.

[@CapitaoAmerica737]

Yes please. I loved those so much as a kid

[@sokandueler9578]

Yes, this

[@DerekPetersonLives]

Gosh this brings back old times. Yet aside from compression these still hold up amazing today, and somehow they make the wacky jedi style actually flow as if it were a real technique, even more than what they attempted in the canon films

[@thepyrokitten]

This is amazing because you can tell how much he loves his job and it shows

[@joaquingarciaherrera7068]

Absolutely love this longer episodes!!!

[@uekernas]

Please do a VFX artists’ reaction video to Aliens (by James Cameron): some of the best old-school effects ever captured on film!

[@Mr.Meme01]

Yeah this would truly be interesting, most of these new movies are just 90% cgi so in all honesty not too exciting since they could have made the scene anything. Classic effects are way more complex and creative.

[@kunibertist]

Hey! Please consider doing a VFX artist react special episode on James Bond intros and how they evolved over time.

[@harrihaffi2713]

That be cool! Remember some of the earlier once being quite impressive considering the options of that time.

[@revan2831]

Bro this is my favourite marvel film. It just hit me in the heart like a truck. Its story, characters, and their motives were perfect and i love the ten rings. Its such an amazing weapon being so versatile and just fills the void for phenomenonal choreography. And yknow what i might watch it again its only been a week. I cant watch the same movie in half a year but this is too good

[@Born2DoubleUp]

i watched this movie the other day and it was amazing. i was not expecting how much i was going to enjoy this. everything was done so well and its definitely one of my favorite marvel movies by far. cant wait for part 2. 👍

[@CranstonJSnord]

Such a GREAT SHOW !!!! Keep up the good work

[@joshuabarnett88]

I think a movie I would love to see you look at is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Michel Gondry had such an amazing visual style and loves to film mostly practical. I think some of the best content is when they get to look at practical effects and figure out how they're made.

[@rikray1992]

This episode is probably one of the best episodes they have ever done! 💯

[@Sarah_McMenomy]

Shang Chi is by far my favorite Marvel movie. The choreographed fights, the CGI, the story, it’s all there! I love it. I love that they brought Michelle Yeoh in as well. She’s amazing, and for most of her career she does her own stunts!

[@cryostein7723]

I’m so happy they did an episode about Shang-Chi! Amazing seeing all this stuff coming together.

[@Monkeylordz88]

You could look at some of Captain Disillusion's VFX. He often includes his own version of the VFX he breaks down like its no big deal, but they are often very well done and informative.

[@aurora_skies_]

I loveeeeed this movie!!! So happy you're breaking it down 😍😍

[@Yellowdigigod]

Shang-Chi has become one of my favorite movies of all time up next to Ip Man, Dr. Strange, A Beautiful Mind, and Good Will Hunting

[@seanocallaghan8924]

Great breakdown, I just watched Shang Chi and i got big Jackie vibes throughout the first half of the movie as well. If I could I make a suggestion for your analysis of other creators - The Life beyond series from melodysheep here on YT (if you haven't already seen these). Thanks, keep up the great work!

[@andrisplatypus6617]

Thanx for reacting to “Shang-Chi”! I liked the part where you guess how it was done in front of the creator. If you did that once per episode, I think it’d be fun!

[@TheLoserface45]

Okay, the latest VFX react vids are so cool. Y’all got like the BIGGEST people in the game rn.

[@crowan1400]

YOOOOOOOOOO, HE'S HERE! even if it's not permanent it's so good to have him back on the show!

[@muntantmonsterx4365]

a breakdown of oats studios-Zygote would be really cool. The asset is even available to use or poke at

[@cronicasdeeberron8782]

Dude, THIS.

[@jackcole2628]

Foundation has some great visual effects so far. Would like to see what your thoughts are on it when the season ends.

[@mattkidroske]

I'm glad y'all asked for other youtube videos to react to! Please watch Star Wars SC 38 Reimagined

[@Freidis]

I'd love to see you guys react to House (1977)! The piano scene in particular would be great to look at, but there's also just so much wild stuff as well as interesting effects in the whole film.
