VFX Core Concepts 101

[@IGameChangerI]

I love how he sighed when he mentioned rotoscoping. That's the only accurate attitude when it comes to rotoscoping.

[@CinemaByteProductions]

Agreed

[@RC-1290]

"Did you just say the client wants me to roto smoke?!"

[@hikari3401]

+RC-1290 "You want me to add 1 frame??"

[@IGameChangerI]

RC-1290 "So in this vfx-heavy shot I want the protagonist to wear both blue and green clothes. I know it messes with the computer, but you can fix that, right?"

[@Lennyohh]

+RC-1290 "Wait, just how much hair are we talking here?!"

I'm honoured that you guy's used one of my comps from the film 'Everest' as an example for keying! Been watching you for years, and you were one of my biggest inspiration to start doing visual effects! Keep it up!

[@Michal_Kedzierski]

Wait is that Clint from Corridor crew?!

[@caleb1069]

that's what I was wondering. I think it is. looks like him.

[@grahamhunning1536]

It is

[@Lb_75.p13]

before working w/ the corridor crew , he was at Rocketjump they hired him because they needed more staff

[@lemonerds2753]

Yes it’s him

[@aspergerart4635]

@Mushrif Ahmed plot twist: he is full CG character

[@prakudh]

I just clicked the video randomly and it made me really interested in learning VFX now. Thanks!

[@Gary1q2]

I've seen so much real smoke in movies thinking that its CG smoke that I now think real smoke looks fake.

[@FilmmakingSock]

[@IntrophyGamer]

true that fizz

[@arashchitgar7445]

EXACTLY!!!!

[@yugmathakkar4023]

that's me but fire instead of smoke

[@AboTurkiPro]

I’m confused

[@safferoth]

Wish you had posted this 10 years ago before I spent an ass ton of money going to school for it. Great video I'm glad you shined a light on this complicated little industry

[@eiriklunde]

I am not a movie/media student, but watching movies is one of my passions. The first time I watch a movie, it's because of the story. The 2nd to the N-th time I watch a movie it's because of the time, hard work and software engineering that goes into making a movie. Thank you for teaching me how to appreciate it even more

[@lourensed]

Do things like this more! 101 so we have something to start learning from

[@yawafrifa]

Yeah. You're right

[@C4DNerd]

3:57 - 5:09 This is why I always get mad when people say 3D is "cheap" or "lazy" compared to hand-drawn animation. Hand-drawn animation is tedious in its own right, but to say that 3D is "lazy" is ridiculous because there are SOOOO many things that go into making a good 3D movie/effect - far more so than what goes on into making a good 2D movie quite frankly. It's as if people think 3D is just when people sit on the computer and just flail their arms on the keyboards and magically stuff happens. It takes a LOT of freaking work in creating a character even before you really get a chance to actually animate them.

[@jamesjason8471]

EVERY 3D animator who had their chance to draw on a tablet for 2D digital will tell you how Freaking easy it is to animate a rigged character, mind my words, " Animating a rigged character"

[@davidlarson4259]

Nobody says 3D is cheap or lazy. He didn't even say it in the video. Everyone agrees with you. Why are you ranting about this? This is an an unnecessary stupid comment.

[@utopiandubstep7055]

agreed

[@Jonnyvonwallstrom]

That was a really comprehensible and elaborated discourse on VFX. Thanks a lot!

[@endaoconnor]

I sighed at the same point as soon as Rotoscoping was mentioned. I had to rotoscope gloves onto a hand in a TV series once (a detective forgot to wear forensic gloves) the hands were holding evidence that was a bloody glass bulb full of water, the actors hands moved in front and behind the thing. it was a long long scene, too many late nights rotoscoping it. So the word sends a shiver down my spine.

[@angelicaamora1093]

I clicked bc i saw Clint, stayed bc i love this channel :))

[@LoneEditor]

I love to rotoscope, especially when you mess up one frame and you fix it and AE messes up all the other frames for you so you can keep the fun going

[@gretegrunmann3881]

HAHHAHAHAHA

[@themexican8720]

You love to rotoscope? You mad lad.

[@gabrielsmith6600]

i laughed out loud a painful, gut-wrenching laugh.

[@Foxarocious]

Thank you for explaining all of this. I didn't know the difference between vfx and sfx! That's what hooked me!

[@izifantastic]

I think the piece he's missing is the enormous talent you need on top of just learning the tools to make good VFX.

[@kev_mcx]

So cool! Now I know slightly more! Can't wait to learn so more stuff!

[@marschrr]

About 4:30 in the video you talk about lighting using a 3D modeled face as example. I would be cool to see an 101 episode about practical scene lighting on faces, facial expressions, emotions, body, object lighting, reflections, shadow casting, etc.. how to play with light. Great job on the channel btw!

[@rishabhlaheja7689]

By far the most well explained tutorial on youtube regarding VFX and all different roles and responsibilities in it. Thanks!!!!

[@CZsWorld]

I was wondering when the minds behind _Epic VFX Time_ would do a VFX video.

[@murilog.p.1383]

Well hello.

[@augustusgregory1748]

i know it is quite randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to stream new movies online?

[@noesoren8510]

@Augustus Gregory meh I watch on Flixportal. just search on google for it :P -noe

[@augustusgregory1748]

@Noe Soren thank you, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D Appreciate it!!

[@noesoren8510]

@Augustus Gregory happy to help =)

[@jaycorbin6145]

Davinci Fusion can do particle effects and CGI, and it uses a full 3D space for compositing.

[@Captainsting]

Look who it is! My boy Clint!

[@jomiar309]

I really like this idea, and I wish more people would do something like this - just tell me all the main things that I might want to look into to figure out how to do some larger task. In this case, visual effects, and the many pieces of that. I loved your sigh for rotoscoping--probably my least favorite thing to do :P Anyway, thanks for this!

[@maleklatif3286]

This video was really helpful. I've recently started working in 3d fx and knowing this terminology will help me a lot, thank you.

[@taylorlewis7522]

How’s it treating you?

[@OKInfografia]

Awesome video! I keep explaining these things over and over ;) I'd be happy to elaborate the 3D part more, it felt too short. Great stuff!

[@Soepsas]

I'd love to see a video on how to start. Like the very basics of how you get into the world of filmmaking. Should you go to certain classes and how do you build up a career. What are the chances on getting a job, not just for the actors but for the whole team.

[@universall8731]

honestly I've clicked on this video because I was bored.. but this video was very interesting, subbed!

[@SpySappingMyKeyboard]

+Universall I have no plans to make any film or video. But this is one of my favorite channels anyway!

[@tunikvisuals]

Universall Clicked because of Clint ;) Check our Corridor Crew and their adventures if you don’t know what I am talking ab

[@jonahperry3041]

This was great!! Loving the 101 style videos keep em coming!

[@CliffShorey]

How come whenever you guys upload videos it always perfectly coincides with whatever class I'm in. I go to one of those old fashioned real life film schools...

[@JackHorner69]

was cool to see a model I made appear in this video. :)

[@angelicaamora1093]

YOOOO IT'S CLINT

[@RathOX]

[@JunaidAzizChannel]

One of most interesting and helpful videos!

[@heodrew]

Technically rotoscoping isn't cutting someone out, the term is borrowed. It's the process of adding a layer on top of footage (originally, physically drawing over footage). Rotobrushing on the other hand, is using the rotobrush/masking tools to cut someone out so you can get the asset you'll put on top of footage, and VFX kinda just uses the two terms interchangeably.

[@mihirmahapatra3189]

This is really a good one about VFX in a nutshell

[@jagdishization]

Thanks to give an additional and detailed info and hats off to reaction abt Rotoscoping

[@christopherpower3591]

Such a nice simplified explanation. Nice one.

[@AndyBesbrode]

Can't wait to see this class develop :D

[@richiebeans129]

Yes, rotoscoping involves frame-by-frame analyses, but it is not always a frame-by-frame task. In fact, one shouldn't have to adjust much if the fluidity of the rotoscope is adequate.

[@TheMemoman]

Very well explained! Crystal clear. Loved the video, love to start some tutorials

[@arashchitgar7445]

That was great...thanks man...I was looking for simple definitions to get the idea and concept of what VFX artists do in visual effects...thank alot Please release more videos like this (Y)

[@vivianasoto1062]

the people on this works so hard for every frame in the screen

[@smilesenglish139]

Overview given for VFX is awesome and useful. thanks a lot.

[@miljopp949]

Hey. where is the I don't find any KZbin channel in animation link .

[@JordanCrowderFilms]

We just had Academy Award-Winning VFX Artist Rick Shick on our show, he had some great insight with over 3 decades of experience in the VFX industry. #gentscofflaw

[@SurvivalRox]

1st time I've found motion graphics really useful

[@arizonadalman3288]

Make more of these PLEASE!

[@PrashanSubasinghe]

This is an AWESOME video. great footage and explanations!

[@EatTheScroll7]

Could you do a video just like this, but for special effects? It would be very cool to have a list of in camera effect techniques and tricks to practice. Also a video on how to shoot with miniatures (props and sets) with best ways to measure and match scale would be fantastic. I haven't seen many videos on those topics.

[@bupek]

I learn more here than my media class 😂😭 such a good vid, you have my subscription 👍🏾

[@bobsnel]

I like stuff explained. It sure helps when it's done with such suave.

[@kelmokelley502]

[@jackie4uni]

I love this guy. You spoke well. Thumbup Rotoscoping! Hmmm, thas another world. Its cool watching your videos

[@Reloadgglax]

ILP and Fido, nice seeing the Swedish scene in these vids.

[@Flowrounder]

I got you. No links for Matte Painting in the video description ;)

[@mr_wessumz]

Main question. Most important question. What is the music playing in the background of this video? Percussionist here who's reeeeally curious because it sounds lovely.

[@strawbellilies]

I subscribed because of this video. :) Keep up the good work!

[@05shadowdragon]

Question @ Clinton Jones Do you work on the animation at Rocket Jump or do you just know information about it from previous projects? Because as far as i know, I've only heard of you acting in the short films. Though it's cool if you do both, I just hadn't heard any mention of it.

[@bdmahabubrrahman2355]

Excellent video

[@willywijaya3471]

Just now I realized the difference of special fx and visual fx

[@MESHQuality]

Great video,nice explained! I hope after this people will know that special effects isn't visual effects..

[@yawafrifa]

Great. Good teacher. Thanks.

[@LaraDLP]

I really loved the video! but just one question, to beacome a VFX artist is it necessary to study something concrete? Or you just can learn little by little with tutorials and stuff like that

[@vkgupta]

Awesome explanation.......Great

Very good, thanks for that mate

That was very helpful thanx bud😇✌🏻

[@jonydude]

Question: My workflow for keying is to set everything up as a normal key, but then rotoscope. The results I get are pretty good, but am I doing it wrong? Would I get better results if I did it "properly"?

[@ramaprasad3815]

superb info

[@alzajel1]

great video, thank you!!

[@guillermocastellanos1967]
