As an old fart who went to *film* school and shot on film stock using actual, mechanical, frame registering cameras, I cannot stress enough how absolutely *INCREDIBLE* and bonkers that elevator shaft shot from Die Hard is. Jan de Bont is a certifiable mad scientist. We've definitely lost something as filmmakers moving to digital especially in the realm of cinematography.

No we haven't lost anything. Knock it off. There are more incredibly inventive filmmaking techniques now than there ever have been. Filmmakers have access to more effective, more flexible, higher quality tools and tricks than they ever have to tell their stories. You just cherrypick the best examples from "then" and the worst examples from "now" to justify complaining about something. Quit acting like more people being able to express themselves more effectively is somehow a bad thing.

I disagree with Jay, I did my audiovisual grad school on a time that we where going to digital for all the benefits. But it's clear to me that the inventiveness took a hit, the "we'll fix in post" became much more of a statement on set. When you had to think and engineer practical solutions, it was marvelous. Not that you can't apply the principals on digital, you certainly can. But most will decide not to. Most because of budget or lack of engineering prowess. But in the analog times, at least in my opinion, the motto was always: necessity is the mother of invention.

Another great forced perspective from Elf was when Buddy's father is on his back while he rides the bike. They actually had a sort of triple tandem bike set up, with Will Ferrell at the front and the dad right at the back so he appeared small, then had a kid in the middle seat who ducked down but kept his hands on Will Ferrell's shoulders to appear as the dad's hands.

9:35 - that motion blur is something the Blue Sky animators did for the Peanuts movie. They had to add in the black lines around Snoopy's feet when he does the "beagle dance." They also added in extra feet to sell the illusion. Very underrated, because people didn't realize the attention to detail to make the CGI "comic accurate."

I just watched The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and some specials effects are pretty impressive - the invisible guy and Mr Hyde, which I am curious if you'd discuss how they made them. The rest of the movie is plagued by too many special effects which are not always too great, so that can be nice for you guys to check it out for a good laugh. MERRY XMAS to y'all, keep bringing great episodes :)

To anyone who doesn't get it, whenever the crew speculate about how something is done and we get the "visualization" of a guy on a blue/green screen or whatever, someone had to do it. Also the hilarious slap sound whenever Clint hits Wren with his hat has to be added, and just so much stuff. Just props overall, production quality is up there for sure.

For the VFX series you gotta react to the *last agni kai fight from ATLA.* It's so stunning! And *Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia!* Also at the end of second one there's a big water creature, so it might be cool to see what you think about that. And for stuntmen react It would be cool to see you react to the duel from "Potop", it's really good sword fight (tho technically it's sabers i think)

6:23 So I just watched this movie recently and one of the things I noticed was that they were doing big sweeping 360 degree shots in the scene that they were just showing. It was weird because it felt like it was being shot on a camera but they were able to go 360 because there was no end to the set. Super cool though.

Thank you guys 🎄 And merry Christmas

Analog time remapping! That's hardcore! I knew it was a tapered model, but I never would have guessed they remapped the explosion by turning off the camera. Brilliant!

One oldschool Christmas VFX spectacular: the 80’s BBC miniseries The Box of Delights. So much ambition, and so many matte lines.

Just watched Scrooged last night, and the scene where Bill Murray is pushed through the window and held over the street still holds up for me!

This is by far my favorite KZread series

Exactly what I wanted for Christmas! Love you guys!

Thanks for the great year of content.

In Gremlins during the stop motion that reveals hundreds swarming in, one of the street lamps goes out. The light on set actually did burn out, the animator was afraid he’d have to start over, but they said they’ll just add a sound effect of a light breaking.

I thought Sam's shirt was his body hair for a second lol

WHAT!? Literally just watched The Santa Clause and Elf this morning as we were opening presents and making breakfast and thought of you guys trying to guess what styles were done to the effects. This is a Christmas miracle! lol

Since you guys have done Elf and before you've done Iron Man, I challenge you to watch "Zathura", the film in-between in which Jon Favreau learned all the SFX techniques that would go on to make Iron Man so wonderful. It's a great mix of practical, models and CGI. Several characters are part costume and part CGI, leading to such joyous accidents as the robot that slips and skids because that's what the actor did. (The bonus features on that DVD taught me so much...but mostly, an appreciation for Favreau, who tries to NOT rely on CGI but uses it well.)

When they did the "new" Thunderbirds episodes with the audio from the original audio on LP they filmed the model explosion of the mansion and vehicles at 120FPS also.

I'd love it if they looked at some of the old Harryhausen stuff, like "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad" and especially the skeleton scene, or "Jason and the Argonauts"
