Why fake punches in movies look real

[@HeisenbergFam]

The way she punches him feels personal like she was waiting all her life for it

Can we reverse the genders real quick? In the name of equality.

she has an unbeatable left hook!

[@Wedge_The_Almighty]

You are everywhere bro. How?

[@alexbanks9510]

This could have been an "okay" video, but the commitment to actually putting into action the story of the video while you're delivering it is amazing. Show not tell is great but showing and telling at the same time works even better here

[@andiemorgan961]

That's what a good teacher does everyday.😏

[@TheEyrie]

It’s probably why pro wrestlers are good in action movies. They have to make contact in wrestling, but knows the language of ‘selling’ without taking damage.

[@Tacom4ster]

The movie The Wrestler made me really appreciate wrestlers.

Well there are talks for a Stunts catergory for the Oscars

​@@Tacom4ster They invent the categories too late 😔

[@mammontustado9680]

Keanu has huge respect for stuntmen, enough that he gives his stunt team expensive gifts, like Rolexes. One time he gave his whole stunt team Harley-Davidsons

[@TheMrFabian1]

This is the tutorial I didn't know I needed.

[@LizziesLukas]

"you might pop a rib" - Eastwood said, gently

[@8523wsxc]

Nowadays we usually just actually punch the actors, get rid of their screams in post and let legal take care of the rest. Much cheaper and quicker.

[@Xamimus]

Can't tell what's more impressive: the stuff about the stunts or the Vox recreation of punches.

[@AMANKUMAR-oh1zt]

Nonsense. John wick really shoots all the people in the movie. That’s why they have to get 100+ new side characters each year. Do some research Vox!

[@chizInPhoenix]

Wow! Great work both of you! I think this is the only Vox video that I was smiling from start to finish. You guys can make a convincing action-filled episode!

[@puspika7698]

Vox answering the real questions

[@boyhenry1]

The example with the cushioned stairs is from Atomic Blonde. If you haven't seen the 10-minute single camera fight scene from that movie, it's definitely worth the watch. Definitely rated R cuz of gore tho so it might not be for everyone. Also, it isn't actually 1 take like some YT videos say. There are hidden cuts to make filming it practical. But the effect is that it's one take, which makes for a really cool fight.

[@kareninacarado]

I hope they do a follow through video about the work of intimacy coordinators and how films shoot love scenes.

[@iprobablyforgotsomething]

KZbinr Folding Ideas has a 3-part vid miniseries that touches on that very subject (in #2 iirc), among other issues of the films. The first vid is titled "A Lukewarm Defense of 50 Shades".

[@ThisIsTechToday]

Lol. What a fun video. You both sold those hits well!

[@juliegolick]

Tom Scott and Jill Bearup did a great video breaking down how all these sorts of fight stunts work behind the scenes, and then they filmed a bar fight. Really fun stuff!

[@MyysticYT]

Link?

[@juliegolick]

@@MyysticYT alas, looks like it’s been taken down :(

[@theecreeper]

@@juliegolick Every Frame a Painting's video about Jackie Chan shows some other really cool camera techniques for fight scenes. Great channel about movie making in general.

[@L4JP]

@@juliegolick Indeed. I saw that video and it was interesting, so I can confirm that it used to exist. I wonder why he had to remove it - did someone not take the "don't try this at home" warning seriously and fly through their livingroom window?

[@frogery]

@@L4JPyou can read about it if you look up 'tom scott fight scene'. it was just some trans drama unfortunately.

[@jordanmcgrory2171]

Conveniently for that padded concrete step, old stone steps do actually wear like that in the middle. So it doesn't look so out of place even when you do catch it.

[@SkittlesMan555]

The instructions weren’t clear now I’m facing assault charges

[@wynthehuman]

i never thought punches could become jump scares

[@Kr_v5]

6:17 is why I love Vox 😂♥ (the behind the scenes is always great)

[@silverlve70]

Love both their energy. I was cracking up with the outtakes. 😁🤛👊

[@higginsj]

This video must have been so much fun to make, great stuff

[@bkackman]

Really fun video. Thanks. You two really sold those punches. So sad how seeing you get slugged got a smile out of me each time!

[@OrangeSectorFN]

This punch just become personal

[@isaacmartinez6904]

Stunts are amazing but complex. It all depends on how the actors and stuntmen or stuntwomen work together.

[@angeladonato5096]

That punch in the beginning caught me completely off guard

[@sulitjc5yearsago421]

You just indirectly taught us how to talk and sound engaging to the audience

[@ArihanBaroliaA]

grandma stood absolutely no chance

[@Yellohhh]

One of my fav Vox vids!

[@napoleonibonaparte7198]

"You might pop a rib" Mr Eastwood nonchalantly said.

[@Towkeeyoh]

Yo you guys really walked the talk with this video's direction, excellent work!

[@FairBeautyEssentials]

Lol😅 I love the beginning intro to this video. So funny.😅

[@just_a_spectator2]

[@DanceySteveYNWA]

Marvel movie fight scenes have never felt, "Real and visceral "

[@pavarottiaardvark3431]

I recommend Daredevil and Punisher

[@mileslaw]

Shang-chi does have some pretty good fight scenes tho.

[@-droid-j7-225]

Marvel in general? No. That one bus scene from shang-chi? Yes!

[@starryburst863]

CA: Winter Soldier had some pretty good combat scenes

[@mr.punisher5100]

There are some diamonds in the rough from Marvel like the few shang chi fights and the ones from winter soldier

[@Dimaz42]

wow.. I didn't know that they could digitally alter the hit 😅

[@lukeswan7776]

I loved this video! Some great movie magic.

[@TravisRichey]

Maybe my favorite Vox video eer. Informative, but also a lot of fun ;-) ~Trav

[@hopsiepike]

North By Northwest, 1959. James Mason throws a punch toward the camera. Cut to Martin Landau recoiling from the blow. All done with point of view and editing.

[@gf4453]

Action movies would be nothing withouut stunt actors. Another great Vox video, BTW.

[@lukesunches5778]

Shang Chi was awesome!

Salute to this man who get punched several time in order to record this vid 🎉🎉🎉

[@madlach6285]

But she punches him feels personal😅😅😅❤

[@EmmanuelEytan]

I know that this is not a contest, but I still think that the greatest punch I've ever seen on screen is in the first episode of season 6 of Murphy Brown, "The More Things Change." Technically, it's nothing special. But it's just very, very well placed.

[@OutsideEric]

This is an awesome video!

I thought a lot that it was to make the punch movement like simulating a punch and then change the speed rate so that punch looks real and doesn't speak and then add sound and mix it with a feel-the-damage act.

When micheal b took the punch, did he actually get knocked out or did he just sell it really well?

Probably sold it to make it look very impactful. Looking at the end result kind of speaks to the hard work on set.

[@s_ame1135]

Why would they let him be knocked out for real and risk a potential brain hemorrhage? You can be hit by a pillow and you would still have the same face in slow mo you know.
