Craftsmen have always wanted to share their craft - but it often takes the right opportunity for it to happen. And Corridor are obviously proven in their knowledge & passion in this space, which doesn't hurt. And, frankly, KZread in general has afforded that. Being a gearhead too, that's another example of craftsmen benefiting from the opportunity afforded by YT, as we're finally getting hardcore, technical automotive content that pretty much NEVER saw the light of day on TV(automotive content on TV is about 95% or so awful). Occasionally you had exceptions, like Ian on 'Xtreme 4x4'(he made the show live up to the [cheesy] name), who got fired cuz he didn't want to do a bunch of bolt-on Jeep builds - he started his own production co and is now on YT too, 'Big Tire Garage'. Music too - Rick Beato's content is absolutely amazing for music nerds! Video game & software development content goes without saying. Dave's Garage - former Windows coder, known for, yes, the OG Windows Task Manager & porting 'Space Cadet' pinball to XP/NT(what a legend!), he has incredible stories as you'd expect; also has some autism content too. Nice to see this become normalized!

Imagine telling the crew way back when that in 10 years time they’ll have industry comparing shots amongst other achievements.

Breakdowns like these make me realise just how much they're pushing the envelope with these movies, a cable cam to get accurate eyelines??

For the first time ever watching this channel I got to be the one who could just nod and say "obviously". Painting display miniatures is all about making plastic look like skin or cloth or reflective metal or a hundred different materials, and because light just doesn't behave the same way with a plastic miniature as a full sized person, you have to fake environmental lighting or object source lighting and bounce lights with paint.

I ripped on Weta for a long while, but now knowing this is what theyre capable of, im beginning to think it wasnt them that made the decision to release TH:DOS in the quality it was.

WETA is insane. They have to get an oscar for visual effects. The breakdowns for some shots are unbelievable that some things were actually replaced as a digi double.

The visual effects are insane in this movie, I can't wait for the next movie

The fact about the make-up is absolutely mind-blowing (all the adjectives combined) sub-surface scattered look with make-up, wha-?!?! I can't take this anymore. This is too much for me. And yeah, I was wrong. I talked about this shot in the last video, and I'm actually glad I'm wrong. Completely blew my mind. GG Weta. GG Corridor. (I had to watch the movie, thrice in order to clear my doubts about that 'particular' shot) 😁😁😁

As a filmmaker, I’m SO thankful for this show ❤

Weta are seriously magical wizards at this point; and I love seeing the Corridor crew talking to folks like them.

Wow, not only did you deliver what everyone seriously wanted: an in-depth avatar 2 breakdown, but you guys really went above and beyond with one of Weta's head honchos on the couch. Outstanding. This movie could take up ten episodes. Absolutely stunning cgi. Y'all dropped secrets that floored me. The skycam, for instance 🤯

Eric is an awesome dude, would love to see him on the show again, so glad they finally got the breakdown on THE shot!!!

You say you're just a small KZread channel, but you guys are so past that. You've been gaining the attention and the respect of the industry and I couldn't be more proud of you guys. It's not about the views. It's not about the money. It's about the passion for the craft, and you guys have that to spare! Congratulations for getting where you are and thanks for the great content you've been giving us. Cheers!

That was such an awesome episode and it’s amazing that Weta and Eric shared so much and showed the breakdowns.

I've been following you guys since the early days and I am so proud of how respected you have become in the movie industry. You deserve it all!

The real magic in all of this is that everything looks so good that most audiences won't worry about anything other than just the story and characters. All the technology used in service of the story is just a powerful tool in the kit of the story tellers and enables future films that would have been otherwise impossible.

I miss the days when this kind of footage was on the bonus dvds. Thank You CD for showing us these truly mind blowing work VFX people do.

Absolute genius technique they are using, truly a amazing production company

Tbh, this is way over my head. The work put into this movie and everything is just mind blowing

This movie was absolutely magical. All their efforts payed off imo

A little shoutout for an AMAZING makup artist who painted arms WITH subsurface scattering oO. I love when CG and practical effects are used together like that

Weta first astonished me when I saw the Lord of the Rings in theaters way back when.... and so glad to see they keep astonishing people to this day.

It STILL blows my mind how well lotr holds up in that regard, the Balrog looks so good even compared to most things now

Bro the amount of ingenuity that goes into creating a scene in a movie is craaaaaaazzzzyyyyyy

This video was extremely satisfied as almost all my questions were answered properly, thank you everyone guys :)

Weta's techniques are such wizardry 😵‍💫 Kudos to them for sharing the breakdowns!

Literally breathtaking movie, watched it 3 times now 🥶

They Won an Oscar, That's how good the VFX was

Probably my favorite episode yet! So insightful!

Maybe you guys should do a VFX artists react to special effects make up? :O

🤣 yeah

That was Amazing! Thank you Weta for this special treat. Congrats to the gang for having such a master explain his craft.

We just finally saw this flick over the weekend and holy hell was it incredible looking. We wanted to wait until we could see it in 3D IMAX to give it the best view possible, and it was absolutely worth it. So glad to see the guys interview the brilliant mind behind this amazing movie.

Props to the channel becoming big enough, that big studio VFX crew will sit down to show us all behind the scenes on amazing movie shots! Also, Wren freaking out makes this video 10/10.

You guys showed the true power of corridor digital . To get one of best VFX supes and ask him reveal some exclusive BTS which we couldn't get otherwise

They say if you repeat the words "motion capture" 3 times in a row, Jon Landau will appear and yell at you, he's the Beetlejuice of special effects.

This is so amazing to watch. Thank you guys! I'm loving these behind the scenes / effects stuff. I hope the Avatar 2 blu-ray release will be stuffed with this kind of content!

These are another level good. The most immersive CGI on this scale. well done

Thank you so much Weta studios for taking the time to explain in more detail how much work was put into this movie. You can never truly appreciate something until you understand it. And I don’t nearly understand as much as I should, but I do understand more just how amazingly impressive this movie is!

You know the VFX and CGI are on another level when they’re just speechless. Beautiful film and the work that goes behind all of this is absolutely inspiring.

this was AMAZING!! Thank you guys.

Corridor Crew just casually dropping a VFX react with yet another Weta member, providing us with info that just absolutely blows all our minds despite knowing how good Weta is. They’re sitting next to a man who calls James Cameron by Jim, bringing exclusive breakdown footage. But you know, no big deal.

Oh yes, this is some golden stuff here.

Holy crap this was the best episode you guys have put out!

I normally hate it when hosts are overly gushy with guests, but the stuff he was talking about was so mind-blowingly creative and innovative how could they not

This show has SOOOO much credibility not just bc of the knowledge of Niko, Wren and the other hosts at Corridor but they get people who create the industry standard constantly! And in this vid specifically, Eric throws away the line “you guys do this too”. This means that the leaders in VFX are watching Corridor videos too and can speak that casually about Corridor’s work.

This is bloody fantastic. Wish it was the entire movie for about 10 hours breakdown.

I love what this series has become, i wish we had more channels like this for other arts

Such a great episode. Was looking forward to it. Thank you so much.

My mind actually hurts from thinking how they achieved this level of CGI. Amazing stuff!
