My parents worked on this movie when I was a kid in South Carolina. They did practical effects, so they were not involved with the scene you guys are talking about, but when Steve showed his jacket it brought back major memories of this production.

We had a workshop in our garage filled with old zombie busts from the "of the dead" series, some Kingcong lives props, and tons of cool little things from other movies. I got to see and sometimes help with the production of all this stuff. I watch videos of people doing effects now and it just seems so easy compared to what my parents used to do. So many plaster casts, rubber molds, mold casting, hair pinning, etc. I don't work in special FX at all, but I do a TON of different hobbies like knife making, wood working, general art, and sewing. I constantly use techniques I remember them using in my hobbies.

Very nice, fellahs. I'm 64 and I first delved into 3D modeling and animation in 1993 with Lightwave 3D software. The computer we had at the college I was going to was an Amiga 2000 with no space to store thousands of frames of animation. The only way I could render an animation was to videotape, one frame at a time. I built an animated a haunted house exterior which to took several days at about 4 hours a day. To make an 8 second animation, it took me 6 hours to render each frame (about 10 minutes per frame) and capture each frame on 3/4 inch videotape using an Abner A/B-roll edit controller. It was the only frame-accurate piece of equipment we had at the time.

After Effects has a much, much better internal architecture (in fact, I'd say the After Effects team has been miles ahead of the rest of Adobe for at least a decade and a half), almost on par with the "big guns" like Nuke.

They specifically mention papers from previous years that they based their code on (and there were many more that they don't mention here but which I'm sure they'd read too). And even those were based on previous work. These are highly competent professionals, that keep up with their field and are aware of their abilities. They would never bet a movie (and, indirectly, their own career and ILM's future) on effects that they had no idea how to do. Raytracing had been in development since the 1970s. Silicon Graphics was founded in 1981. By the late 80s there were free and open-source raytracers capable of rendering reflections and refractions on most platforms (Unix, Amiga, Archimedes, etc. - and it wasn't long until DKB and POVRay became popular on home PCs too). Most of them just weren't very well integrated with _animation_ software, because they were so slow. Yes, ILM artists / engineers coded their own renderers (or at least extensions / optimisations to existing ones). So did the ones at Pixar ten or twenty years later. That still happens today, albeit not as much (I've been working in visual effects since the late 80s, and I do a _lot_ less coding nowadays). But they were using commercial laser scanners to digitise actors' faces and doing the animation in Alias workstations, this wasn't the middle ages. I recommend studying the history of SGI and Alias (and maybe reading or at least looking at some SIGGRAPH papers from that era).

That effect was definitely ahead of it’s time, amazing work

I listen to talk radio while I'm at work, and most of the guys who worked in radio during the 90s said when they'd make commercials for the station they'd record from one magnetic tape to a spare, then physically mark and cut together the segments to make an radio spot. I know that's nothing compared to this, but it shows that even just 25 or 30 years ago the technology we had access to was wildly different than today.

This was freaking amazing! I’ve watched so many videos regarding the making of the movie itself and all of the dangers/hazards that happened during filming. There are also some behind the scenes videos I’ve watched on how the water weenie was created…but nothing this in depth. The stuff you guys do to bring us viewers into these different worlds does not go unnoticed. I, for one, am highly appreciative of every video this channel has put out.

Lets just appreciate the effort corridor crew puts in all their videos

In addition to all that work, the thing that helped integrate the final effect into the shot/plate was the fact that they generated interactive lighting live on set that would be emanating from the as yet to be visualised pseudopod.

That short was SO good. You guys have got to do more like that! You guys are incredible filmmakers

As a VFX Artist, It would be great to know more about the digital compositing software that they used in T2. Great video as always!

You guys did a great job. The only major flaw is that the faces are not as easily seen as in The Abyss original.

This was a lot of fun and brought back some great memories for me. At that time I was working at a graphics company in NY while getting my CS degree. There was a lot of amazing stuff going on back then. This reminds me of when I was tasked to write some code that took an image and transposed it into a 3D "mesh" based on its luminosity (brightness). We were working on something using slime to help define the shape of the mesh. Morphing algorithms were used in conjunction with this to make it look like slime was oozing out of and running down an object. One thing that ILM did have a little trouble with in T2 (that my co-workers had to point out) was "grounding". When the liquid metal T2 walked, it sort of floated. The small company I worked for had the technology to make walking look more natural. This was the best job I ever had - I loved working with the combination of engineers and artists. Sadly the company shut down shortly after I graduated. The company was CGL (the Computer Graphics Lab). I was getting my degree at NYIT and the main CGL office was on campus. Fun times...

Awesome video! Informative and entertaining!

Awesome video guys!!

I love these deep dives into the old school CGI and VFX - it always brings that spark of magic back. CGI is so commonplace the sheer genius and ground breaking innovation can be so easily taken for granted.

I really like this format for challenges/movie history. It's better than the 'more fun' ones where people compete against eachother, and i like the focus more on the history of moviemaking.

One of the most fascinating videos that you've done

It's great that you're giving these guys the credit they deserve for paving the way for all of us

Thank you for clarifying this part
