You've had visual effects artists react, and stunt person reacts, but there's something that is literally 50 percent of any movie. I would love to see sound effects artists react.

I worked with Bryan on 'The Death of Beckett' sequence as it was called. I composited the wide shot of him walking down the stairs, the one they talked about his hand coming off the railing. I still remember the shot name - DB670. That shot will always be on my VFX reel. Bryan is a wonderful VFX Supervisor and a great person to be friends with!

[MrKeeganimal]

Please more of this guy. He's so kind and nerdy, and thoughtful. It's like he's sitting on the couch with his sons.

[tubeuser]

Sam is so good at VFX he's managed to composite a future version of himself onto the couch, amazing.

[MichaelJaeYT]

This was a really cool episode, Bryan seems like a cool dude

[BlueCollarBoom]

"it looks CG."
"Yes sir, we made it in a computer."

[JAHRONMON]

The CG work on old Sam in the middle of the couch is incredible. was it a deep fake?

[Marksman]

So many don’t appreciate just how amazing the VFX in the Pirates of the Caribbean films are. To this day, Davy Jones is still one of the best CGI characters ever. Still holds up spectacularly after 15 years

[blurpell]

I can't unsee him looking like Sam's father now.

[sadwynbrophy]

I love how Brian looks into the camera when he is explaining things knowing he is talking to us and not just Sam and Niko. Makes it a whole lot more felt when listening to him break it down.

[samuelkeene]

The visual effects for Pirates still hold up so damn well. Davy Jones is still the best CG character to date.

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

2:40 After seeing this, I feel like The Pirates of The Caribbean was ahead of its time when it came to phenomenally well done special effects

[Eva-jyqupur]

The walking down the stairs scene from Pirates 3 is one of my favorite shots ever. What a masterpiece it is.

[jammysatsuma]

Something about the way that he talks to the camera occasionally just makes me feel so comforted, he's like the nerdy relatable uncle telling you stories about his job.

[MelanieJeanneSchons]

Bryan is an adorable fella. His passion is really coming through the screen.

[BtotheDon]

Man, this guy was so knowledgeable and fit with the show so well that I'd honestly love to see him as a regular guest.

[SoCloseToToast]

I feel like this episode was just chock full of knowledge bites! More than others

[Kritacul]

That Pirate scene of nothing but destruction around him and the slow pan is breathtaking and will always be embedded in my brain.

Davy Jones CGI has no right to still be this *GOOD* for a 2006 Disney movie, and yet it does, even better than most CGI today! Props to all involved in the POTC trilogy!
