I watched a 25-minute feature about how they did the explosion scene in Breaking Bad, the practical effects alone are so impressive. Also they did _19 takes_ of the panning shot after Gus walks out of the room! That's how many it took before Vince was satisfied. And then, when he reviewed them without knowing which takes were which, that 19th take is the one he ended up choosing.

I'd like to see you guys react to: -Silent Hill (2006) - the otherworld transitions, and Monsters designs -Sam Raimi's Spider man 1 and 3 (sandman effects, Venom and symbiote effects) This one is more of a technical question, but in Spiderman No Way Home, they obviously reused footage of the lizard and Sandman from their original films. But they had different effects, which requires, I assume, the original footage that was caught on camera. Is it common practice to save raw footage for that long? Edit: I can't believe I forgot this but also in Silent Hill there's a scene with dark Alessa hugging Rose and then just kinda "integrates" herself into her.

The 2nd one was filmed partially at the Atlanta Beach, which was an artificial beach constructed for the 96 Olympics, to have the circular beach in the arena. The VFX in those shots is incredible, I think the only thing that isn't created is the beach itself. The entire background and I'm sure lots of the stuff in the water is CG.

Ahhh, I'm so disappointed they didn't talk about the VFX that needed to be done to cover the track in Gus's last shot. They had to digitally replace the debris on the floor in order to cover the camera track. That was also a very impressive feat.

For me that Nivellan (The Witcher) effect is so great due to the eyes being real, that ties it together and the performance so well.

The lip movements didn't look right. His lips needed to form a momentary seal when he speaks a "p". That's not actually possible when you have adjacent exposed teeth (in this case going both up and down). Nivellen's lips don't conform around his teeth, and we expect to see that when he talks. I realize it's a lot of work, but lips don't just go up and down when we talk. They are so agile that deaf people can tell what you are saying from looking at your lips! Watch Nivellen again -- you can't do that, his lips are too stiff. Human lips are more compliant, and we actively use our teeth to support them. People missing front teeth have speech impediments that you can hear. There's another problem, which is that teeth can't be exposed all the time, because they'd dry out and then shatter. Water isn't enough -- dentin requires saliva to maintain toughness and mend microfractures. Even the big canines of a lion or tiger or the protruding lowers of a hippo are covered and kept wet by loose lips that fold over them nearly all the time. These long lips are pulled back when fighting or eating, leading to the characteristic wrinkles that we associate with fierceness.

I think the difference between the NPH bullet time versus the original bullet time, is that we're seeing things from NPH's perspective where he is the one moving (and perceiving) fast, instead of from Neo's perspective being slower observing something moving fast. So it does make some sense to look different. Note, I haven't seen the movie.

Of course, when Neo would bend physics to fight a bunch of Agent Smiths, sure, it would look kinda weird and digital, which is fitting for the subject matter -- but what this terrible, terrible film does is completely take away any of the aesthetic cues of the last films. It spits all over the last films. Not even the colour palette or design is similar, at all. It's a complete shambles.

@@douglascollett7775 yeah dog you just have a different opinion on something none of us created. my opinion based on the evidence: this is a whole new matrix with a whole new asshole in charge and he literally rewrote physics and turned half the population into programs in order to achieve his goals. the analyst dude basically copied and pasted the Neo mods into his own files and rewrote physics so neo wouldnt be as strong. that might be why neos bullet catching was the only viable defense, everything else was planned for.

This is a bit left of field, but I'd love to see you guys react to some in-game effects across different video games and break down how and why some effect feel good and others don't. Things like explosions, breaking glass, water effects, etc. Think that could be a really cool thing to look at!

Explosions in games are usually simulated in real time and/or artists don't have the time or resources to be able to run complex explosion simulations in games. Its usually down to the technical limitation of a game (whereas a movie can be pre-rendered and edited on top of) and the hardware limits. A game made to run on a lower spec system or won't be able to have as complex particle systems as others, and smaller companies won't usually have the time and resources to develop new particle systems that look better. Lots of games companies also like to keep in-house techniques to themselves, so methods to make explosions can differ a lot I imagine. The VFX tech to make films and games, while similar in art, have very different tech requirements and considerations. Its hard to compare practises in films to games because of this.

@@ZavalasAgent this is all at least partially true, but is also irrelevant? An explosion in a game, regardless of the technical side of things has a final result and a "feel" to it. Two explosions may be simulated in exactly the same way in the same physics engine across two different games, but the artistry that goes into them (effects like particles, smoke and fire sprites, physics objects interacting with that effect, other smaller effects like dirt or shock waves, sounds, etc) can all be drastically different and affect how the end product feels.

@@xGamermonkeyx Yes and an explosion with all those things would require a lot more research and power behind it, unless it's stylised a certain way of course because that can have big effects on the final feel. My point is it is difficult to go into VFX in a game from a purely film understanding because it isn't all about the way the final product may look or sound, simulating in real time in 3D space is a lot different. Like how someone on a high end PC will have a much different experience to someone on a lower spec console for example. Whereas with a film it's one video. Games will usually have very strict budget on how detailed an effect can be, how many polygons can be used in a particle system, how many background Sims are occuring... Etc. There's just so much more to consider tbh that I think would be better for maybe a more gamedev perspective rather than purely one from movies. It's hard to explain what I mean but yeah xD

Dude….when Sam started blanching and bellowing “STOP IT” at the idea of Dougie Howser MD doing bullet time scenes I could not stop wheezing 😂

Man, Giancarlo is such an underrated actor... First thing I remember seeing him in was Trading Places as one of the jailbirds in with Eddie Murphy's character. Man's got some good roles.

I would love if you talked about the moon bandit scene from Ad Astra! It’s incredible and they have a being the scene clip too. It absolutely blew my mind the first time I saw it

It would be interesting for you to compare old and new Doctor Who VFX. Also look at the restoration work they did for old stories.

Still really wanting an episode that includes sound design. Specifically designers who record their own sounds and sound effects as well as including composers in a video or too. I feel it would be an interesting video.

to be more exact: he said "YES this is it" on the 19th take and he was afraid he took that choice because everyone was tired and he just wanted to get it done, so he had all the 19 takes arranged in a blind order, re-analyzed all of them, blind picked the best one and it was the 19th, so he had self-confirmation of his skills. Takes a lot of courage to be ready to contradict yourself after 19 takes of THAT.

Those effects in that episode of the Witcher are the best effects in the whole series, in my opinion. That character was so well done. It seemed to go downhill from there, for me. And the Breaking Bad scene was some of the best filmmaking ever. Such a good reveal, and so brutal for TV. What a way to kill off the "big bad".

Take a look at the Watchers and the creation sequence from Noah. The Watchers move like stop-motion figures, they're super cool.

Any and all scenes from Starship Troopers, I'm subscribed by the way!

Willow (1988). The whole movie is an interesting transition between analog and digital; but of course take your pick (the ILM morphing is of course amazing for it's time). But I'm mostly impressed by the Brownies. Some of the composite shots are bad. But a lot of the shots are surprisingly well integrated.

I assumed the effect on Neil Patrick Harris was meant to be a specific reference to the original bullet dodge scene. In the original that had to use interpolated frames to fill in the gaps between the different cameras and it has a slight wobbly blur type effect. So when he said his new thing was called "bullet time" it seemed obvious to me that that was what they were going for. So for that reason I actually enjoyed the effect over all.

I think this scene is also referencing an earlier line of dialogue in the movie where a member of the focus groups specifically says they should do bullet time again. In the context of the whole movie taking old ideas and subverting them and making them different, this scene is then doing “bullet time” again. The same idea, different execution, so it’s not even trying to replicate the visuals of the first movie.

I think there are cool, subtle effects in Wes Anderson films such as The French Dispatch that you could probably make a whole episode about. For example in the French Dispatch: 1) the artist painting himself with the same actor in frame in three different places from three different angles 2) the waiter carrying a tray from the bottom floor to the top floor instantaneously appearing in one window after leaving another, but someone clearly in frame the entire time sweeping the stoop

The silent rage from sam during the matrix section was so painful to watch. I really felt for him, there was genuine grief and pain there for a movie he may of been looking forward to seeing, and knowing that when he went to see it he wouldn't be able to NOT see all those mistakes. Poor man
