We Compete to Make Scary HORROR CGi

[@mikecase2033]

I feel the person holding the light in Sam's render was fearless. Never paused to peek corners, never turned back. The character didnt seem scared so I wasnt either

[@rosskandlbinder1515]

Feels more like that the creatures are scared of the character.

[@FlooferLand]

Exactly. There were several times where the character walked to pass the creatures, making them be behind them like entering that corridor. They turned their back to like 10 of those creatures and did not seem afraid of it at all

[@wordsinahandle]

Yeah no heavy breathing and if the creatures came in rarely rather than constantly it would be even scarier

[@lloydflores2537]

basically sam.

[@kevinr.9733]

Same reason something like Metroid Prime isn't really all that scary, even in the blackout sections. Samus Aran is a certified badass who is well equipped to take on whatever the Space Pirates throw at her, and as the various pirate logs show, they are _far_ more afraid of her than she is of them. Since the point-of-view character is not afraid, neither is the audience.

[@chaosfire321]

Peter winning by leaving Niko's heartbeat unchanged after everyone else relaxed him is fucking hilarious.

[@alaskaaa684]

Sam's idea was really good, the only problem was the the little monsters seemed afraid of the viewer, instead of threatening them. This is why it wasn't scary for me.

[@SimonSheets]

That's a solid observation

[@imlando93]

I think there were too many of them, they weren't obscured enough and they showed too often.

[@lunarazure9969]

I think the little guys were also too numerous for a shot that lasted too long. The impact you get from that small glimpse of something out of the corner of your eye dies out pretty quick when it happens ever five seconds over a minute and a half video. I spent most of that clip actively trying to find them instead of feeling spooked.

[@claranymark]

it also doesn't help that the person walking there doesn't react at all, i'd imagine that when the person sees the monster it would at least jump a little which would make the camera shake, and also with the door it kinda doesn't make sense that they wouldn't at least slow down a little if the door just opened by it self

[@katon.9893]

The issue for me is that there is monsters plural. Less is more. Even the scariest entity possible loses all fear factor if you fill a room with them. 90% of the work going into building terror is actually the time you let the player/viewer spend away from the creature.

[@Elmithian]

Tbf, during danger your heartbeat can actually go down. Which is why when you see folk with heartbeat monitors play a scary game, their heartbeat tends to be decently high _until_ they get scared, then the heartbeat slows down a decent amount and stays low for a bit.

[@Elmithian]

@@IhorEleven Because the body is preparing for potential and explosive physical reaction I believe? There are other factors ofc, but that is the one I remember off the top of my head. Think of it as survival reaction that can be traced wayyyyyy back.

[@sl1138utube]

Peter elevated the challenge, as usual, to the next level. By choosing cinematic suspense over the cheap scary monsters, he proved to be the scariest director. I also thought Sam's was the most technically proficient. The lighting was on point. Wren's actually spooked me the most with his jumpscare.

15:27 Dude... Peter's render looks like something you'd see on Love, Death, & Robots... It's stellar. That dude has an absolutely astonishing level of technical ability and creativity. He's got an eye for every single type of "challenge" that it's amazing to see whatever the hell he's going to come up with. Don't get me wrong, I liked the other renders too. I loved how Wren's went into a loop animation. I loved the ambiance of Sam's render. Jordan's had a fantastic feel to the entire scenario and animation. But Peter was the only one to think waaaay outside the norm and everything was spot on. From the camera view to the lighting to the scene to the sound design, I think he made the best by a mile.

[@the11thhour44]

This new format of picking a contestant, flashing back to their process, then revealing the render kept me engaged throughout. Don't know what it'll do for repeat watches but I think it's better for viewer retention so keep it up!

[@EmmaEmbla]

I think the absence of sound would be a better way to go with Sam's render, being alone with your footsteps with the occasional unexpected interruption of the silence is much creepier than the constant ambiance in my opinion

[@davidbrenner5806]

Peter dropped all sound for his in the the right spot.

[@Assimandeli]

The audio in most of these was pretty lackluster. Stock whispering and scary music isn't going to scare anyone, especially a person who recognizes them, like Niko most likely does.

[@trailerwookie]

I think Sam's idea would have been better if the creatures shied away from the light, but once the light was away from them, they actually tried to get closer and closer to you--just a little quick peek behind once in a while showing them slowly closing in on you.

[@Isnogood12]

And maybe cut 90% of them out. I mean the first one was visible for several seconds right at the start and you got a good look at it instead of just glimpses.

[@QuincyKane]

This was a fun challenge, and everyone did a great job with their renders! But creating "fear" is a difficult challenge; usually the more you "try" to be scary, the less scary you actually are. So, I think if the goal was to get Niko's heart rate up, they should've gone more "psychological" and created a "discomforting" render, which no doubt, sound design would be incredibly important for. Rather than a setting that is "obviously" dangerous, something less obvious and more relatable and off putting.

[@FreakyGremlinDK]

That's true, I was thinking the same. And in my opinion, jump scares are cheap, it's used to make something unscary to feel scary for a short moment. It's more getting startled than scared. For me, something scary is something my mind can't really identify, but I at the same time know what it is. Like unnaturally distorted human faces and bodies. And it shouldn't be a jump, it needs to be something you know is there, but you want to get as far away from it as possible.

[@JuvyThaKid]

​@@FreakyGremlinDKThat's exactly how I feel about creepy old ladies for some reason lol. Especially when they're just staring and smiling at you

[@JustPaddy]

Peter's first two shots were amazing

[@TheFudily]

Honestly I thought the 3rd shot was even better. The diver's interaction with grabbing onto the boat was top notch.

[@OldManTenno]

Great concepts, and I’m glad they at least did this challenge. Problem is that I felt like Niko watching these. They looked good (Sam’s in particular), but didn’t really have that creep factor. A lot of what was supposed to be the ultimate moment always felt expected. Could be just me, but I feel the best moments are when you never see it coming. Jordan’s was the best at this revealing that other character when the camera quickly turns. Peter’s was the best at building tension, but I knew exactly what was happening in the final shot. I think Peter’s piece would’ve been better with more elevated breathing, and just when the diver thinks it’s safe to move somewhere safer, the shark slams into him from out of the frame. Overall, great idea and I hope they re-visit this in the future. In the meantime, I hope they watch movies like The Witch (2015), and The Blair Witch Project to get a good sense of what creeps people out.

[@lordcrayzar]

Or if your really good , you can have the jump scare visible in the background the whole time like the end of Hereditary.

[@CanadianWolverine]

I'm with you, I was really hoping, especially with the diver one, that one of them was holding something back in the creation to surprise us with the unexpected. Like say, what if just before the shark chomped the diver ... something bigger took out the shark. Something that had been in the shot the whole time but you didn't know that's what you were looking at.

[@madend]

I think the biggest missing dimension was just time. It takes time for tension to set into the viewer, to let yourself emotionally fall into the viewpoint of the POV character. Just tough to do in this super short format

[@dat_fast_boi]

​@@madend agreed. More time per video would also allow for more interesting context to be built outside of just "you are diving" or "you are exploring spooky house". I want to have a false sense of security which can be broken then thrown into a shredder.

[@KindlingEffect]

@@madend Yeah, I think this is one of the major reasons why Hereditary's finale is so effective. The time that we spent throughout the rest of the movie empathising with the character, and dredding the unknown fate that awaits them, pays off in the end. I don't see how one could successfully evoke that same sense of terror in such a short time-frame.

[@lodgin]

The one thing that really took me out of Wren and Jordan's renders were the instant animation change when the monsters start chasing. One moment they're stationary, the next they're half way through their run animation towards you. It felt very gamey, particularly given the first-person view. As for Sam's render, I felt more exasperated "why are you not leaving?!" than spooked. And Peter's render, it too fell into the jump scare trap, instead of leaning into the unsettling nature of the ocean. Like, imagine instead if he went exploring an old wreck, but when he went to resurface, a jellyfish bloom had arrived above the ship. EDIT: I also think the sound effects on Peter's render actually lessened the scariness of it. Imagine instead the sound of a large mass moving through water, the sound of a large tail fin. Maybe some rumble as it got closer. Instead we got ear-piercing metal-on-metal, or whatever that was. Loud ≠ scary.

[@the_doorkno2237]

agreed, one of the scariest parts about water is not hearing much of anything, maybe some muffled sounds or what not. perhaps even making the shark a bit less visible when it first appears would have made it even more suspenseful. but other than that, the render did somewhat trigger my thalassophobia

[@margothutton]

I love how in Sam's the hallway sconces imitated the monster's eyes, and the parallax revealed they weren't eyes.

[@TheRealGSmith]

The hand held camera movement really does wonders for Sam's video. I just wish the creeper right at the end wouldn't fall in such a weird simulated ragdoll kinda way.

[@c0zmozys]

[@chigginheadD]

The scariest thing about this video was Wren biting into the Tootsie Roll without taking the wrapper off.

[@anonymousaccordionist3326]

I liked this format for a challenge video, showing the process of each one and the final product, followed by Niko's reaction to it, was a good way to keep interest throughout the whole video. Not to say the other formats were uninteresting, not in the least.

[@Vern_Trertnert]

As a diver, I notice several things about Peter's render that could be improved (for realism and creepiness). 1. add bubbles when the diver exhales. 2. divers try not to swim with their arms or bump/touch anything (getting caught on something sucks). 3. the diver moves like the resistance of the water isn't there; slow him (and the shark) down. all in all, nice work given the time constraints! If I weren't a diver, it probably would've spooked me.

[@TheMokeleMbembe]

I just realized how to put into words one of the BIG things I love about you guys's videos: it's all about critique. Sitting around talking about art (yours or a big movie or whatever), discussing how it makes you feel, how it was done, what might be done better, etc. I come from a traditional painting background and (1) I always love crits and (2) I find that 'normal' people often don't know how to participate in this kind of activity. Thanks for all of these!

[@grimnartusk265]

SAM ITS SO DAMNED GOOD!! on the edge of my bed the entire time. i like how most of them also pop right back out once the flashlight leaves them.

Then of course you finally strike one and his entire family is there to see it xD 10/10 kudos

[@LamestHobbies]

scariest part of this video was Wren eating the Tootsie Roll with the wrapper still on. Gave me a genuine fright. Hope his digestion is okay!

[@Mucuroz]

Wren's eaten so much worse than that wrapper in videos over the years. He'll be just fine from a slightly waxy, paper candy wrapper.

[@nightmare3711]

I think part of what makes horror genuinely scary is a tonal shift - if a scene is filled with tension from beginning to end, then it becomes numbing. Same principle applies if you want to make your viewers angry, happy, or sad, you create a tonal shift. The greater the shift in tone - over an appropriate amount of time - the more affected the viewer will be.

[@hollowvoices1268]

The problem I have with Sam's, is that the cameraman never reacts to the creepies

[@AustralianMurderTurtle]

I think Peter did the best because it was a lot more subtle for the most part. The best horror works from unease and dread setting the mood. Imagine Niko watching a photorealistic render of himself, but something's not quite right, delving that bit in to the valley for the setup.

[@HiddenPufferfish01928]

The scariest thing is how calm Niko is He is so calm that horror movies bring him to the hospital by lowering his heart rate

[@Sabotender]

One thing Peter could have done i think was if we heard the diver's heartrate, and then increase it after he spots the shark, getting faster when he was "floating" before the bite. Whenever I watch or play horror games where heartbeat is audible, my own heart tries to match it.

[@logandraper]

My first thought was an ocean pov render where you can't quite see what's around you. Peter is a genious

[@Cauthon]

I can't find it for the life of me, but there's this one short film about a photographer at a photo shoot. Every time he looks in the viewfinder at the model she's got this eerie smile, with a demonic presence in the background. Eventually the entire crew seems to become possessed. THAT was scary. It's a little more than a render, but it was incredibly simple in execution. You've all gone for creepy settings, but the scariest situations are those that take place is environments that we normally feel safe and secure in.

[@TheFudily]

Agreed that Peter's was best. Though Jordan's was a strong 2nd, only part I didn't like was the camera panning over to the next creepy thing (12:05) without any visual or auditory reasoning for it. Stepping on the blood pooling up being the initiation of our attention change (and then taking a couple steps back before turning around and running (due to the spider toy), all while leaving a slowly fading bloody shoeprint behind) would've been a nice addition. Or just having the door make a creaking noise while opening if short on time would've been enough. _Edit: The door does creak, but it starts _*_after_*_ the camera pans over_ Regardless, great job guys! Feels like character animation quality has gone way up lately, just less jank in general.

[@MaxskiSynths]

Thalassophobia will always be top of my list for scares. 5 minutes into this video I was saying to myself "do that and you win" and Peter comes in clutch.

[@Vidar93]

I think the best part of sams was the use of the sconces on the wall everywhere. All of them having the double bulbs/candles does a great job of mimicing the eyes of the creatures in the distance of the shots. I think if he had the viewpoint slowly pick up speed as he is realizing they are all around him to a point he is running it would really help also if the creatures were coming towards him but only kind of shrink away when the light hits them. Maybe have the viewpoint look back and forth trying to keep light everywhere but it slowly becoming futile as they come clawing out of the shadows. Still wonderful concept.

Its almost like he did research on scary movie scenes 🤔

[@kamikeserpentail3778]

If you're going for a heart rate change what can you do aside from a cheap jump scare? You'd have to really know the person and play on their specific fears and try to push them into an actual panic attack. But I agree that the slower build up contributes majorly.

I'm amazed at superb quality of all of these clips. Like it's comparable to what would be AAA game cinematics made by big studios 7-10 year ago . It's amazing that we have tools today that make possible to achieve such fidelity by single talented person.

satisfying cgi make you go: aahhhhhh~ scary cgi make you go: AHHHHHHHHHHH

[@debajyotidas1720]

The sound designs were so good that it felt satisfying for me, and I absolutely loved it 🔥

Adored the editing on this episode, the pace was much more enjoyable.

Wren's camera movement was freaking good. Probably the best that i've seen. I've played a lot of horror games and I just hope the camera movement of those horror games are up to level of Wren's creation.. coz it's really good!

Showing the process and then imidiatelly the final result is a perfect format for more complex renders. Great idea guys, love it!

Jordan A should present all of television ever

Hats off to everybody's work, and I have to say that Peter's piece had the vibe of a Love Death + Robots short.

I like The format of this where you cut back to the making of of each one while getting the video ready for showing.

[@dragonlfwgaming6008]

I’d love for this to be another series! Making scarier and scarier renders!

[@24Charles01]

This video inspired me. Wish I knew how to do vfx now

I find that when scared my heart rate goes down like when you feel like your heart has skipped a beat, and only rises when the “danger” has passed, maybe that’s what happens with Niko

[@channel-uz9fz]

I like the new format! It's cool to hear everyone's story *right before* their renders play.

[@JohnnyDavila]

All the renders look amazing, but Peter's cinematography is just on another level... Always hyped to see his works

[@RanOutOfSpac]

Y'all knocked it out of the park on this one though! It's probably because of the simple lighting, but all of them looked especially good!
