I was a background extra on 'Shang-Chi' and watching this video brought back so many memories! And yes, the Ta Lo village set was massive!

One CGI destruction sequence that really struck me at the time is in Rogue One, the scene where the hammerhead pushes one of the star destroyers into the side of another one, and the way the ship crunches into the other one in a way that made it look like it was an old VFX model coming apart in chunks as it broke apart (if that makes sense)

[TheSeventhEnd]

Sean's pained smile is the face of a professional who's tired of having to roto everything because directors are just like "we'll fix it in post."

[FUBARguy]

I 100% understood the gut blender in the theater. In my mind the rings were spinning like a coin and also orbiting one another and just grinding the insides to a demonic goo! I'm glad my imagination and what I was witnessing were so close. You guys kick ass! The best guests. The best information and background on the films, techniques and silly side stories. Please never stop doing this.

its so cool knowing that the dragons had CGI doubles, so they wouldnt get injured while making the movie. Those Dragons were really good actors.

You should do “Making the X-Men Rated R”, especially the scene with Quicksilver saving everyone in the mansion as time is slowed. As there’s a lot of potential and possibilities for that lol

[FourBrotherzwazhere]

Is it just me or are all of the VFX and Stunt professionals that come on to Corridor just the most humble, seriously awesome people. Like you hear about so many movie stars that are somewhat mean, but then you get these titans from behind the scenes and they are just lovely people sharing their passion.

[SUPERBOLT]

To all the VFX artists. Thanks for doing your magic. I can’t imagine the time y’all put into making these amazing renders possible.

[EthanRom]

That guy has the spirit of a true pro. It’s pretty interesting hearing how most of the time they don’t even have control of what the footage is. Sometimes the studio gives you the footage and you have to make it work no matter what. Too many people trashing on vfx artists these days.

[GreenhornPhototaker]

I wish I could convey how much I anticipate a Corridor Crew video each Saturday. Absolutely the best, thank you so much

[Prospero]

There was this movie The Day After Tomorrow, I think is the name. Growing up, I loved it so much. It was actually my very first English language movie. I remember it having some pretty good effects for its time

[myname-mzlo]

"this whole scene is entirely digital" is not that shocking of a phrase anymore lol. id be more surprised to hear "this whole scene is practical effects"

[badwolf]

The final scene in "Don't look up" is a really great destruction render. Also the nuclear blast from "Terminator" really great.

[foxinsocks]

Not sure if this is just me, but I’d love to see an animators react to Arcane. I really love the animation in that show, and I’d be interested in seeing a breakdown of it

[alexrowaan]

Really loved this episode - great insights and a hilarious guest. The last minute of just chatting and joking around was awesome; thanks for not cutting that out

6:30 This is exactly what bothers me (and not just me) regarding modern Marvel movies. All the Marvel movies are weirdly desaturated with low contrast levels, everything looks like gray concrete. Can't believe they actually built a giant set and filmed on location, just to replace much of it with CG and repaint the highlights. The raw footage captured on location with no post processing actually looks better. It's been like 20 movies and I still don't get why they are going with this dimmer color palette. These are superhero movies, there's nothing wrong with more vibrant colors.

[BlcKjcK-wthz]

What I love of this show is that they give the possibility to all the awesome people that's working behind the scene that never get credit for their work if the work is good and get destroyed if not. We all take for granted that the graphics must be at top everytime without knowing the real hard work done here. Thank you for that

[setyoursightsnorth]

It looks like I'm in the minority when I say that I was not really impressed with the effects in this movie, or just Marvel in general. It's gone way past the line of being remotely realistic. A lot of people point to the Black Panther fight as an example of Marvel relying too much on digital effects, but I think this entire movie is guilty of it too.

I've found myself completely disconnected from these movies.

Would love to see you guys do a full break down of the Fan Film “Batman: Dead End”. Still one of the coolest fan made crossovers ever done and still holds up despite time. I remember hearing the tales of people lining up at cons to experience multiple viewings of it
