One thing I noticed when they were showing pre-viz, post-viz and final is that each pass was getting *darker* than the previous one.
Perhaps you could do an episode with a colorist / color grader and discuss how color is applied in film?

I was the matte painter on Movie Prey and worked on those shots which were shown in the start. And I really enjoy watching the videos on the Corridor Crew Channel, very educational and entertaining.

Fun fact: when streaming studios give early access screeners to critics, some times there's scenes that are still pre-viz because they're still working on the CGI. Happens a lot with later episodes when they give out full seasons for a weekly show

[MisterChubz]

No One Will Save You was my favorite film of the year, glad to see it on here

[camguarino]

This might be one of my favorite episodes of this show! So much stuff learned and such a cool new side of vfx (and viz 😂)

I always used to see these pre-viz shots in BTS on movies as a kid, like in Narnia, and thought they were actually just building up the final shot off the pre-viz "skeleton"

[MrPerser]

Would love another episode with James Willingham. That was super fun to watch :D

[badhazen]

Same as game dev, it's a lot of listening to great ideas from every corner of dev team. With a director combining the best pieces, yet everyone doing their utmost best. Cool to see more of the process on film.

Why is this not on the app/website? I thought you just had taken Christmas break? I am pretty confused, but, nice to see an upload, but i will wait for the extended react.

[EthanRom]

Dang if you’re also plotting the camera angles and set up it’s like you practically did the DOPs job, but digitally since all they gotta do now is replicate it practically. VFX guys are so underrated

[therealseals]

Is there a reason this isnt on the site?
I hav3 been refreshing since yesterday haha. 😅

[JamesRPetix]

As one Third Floor James to another: awesome job, dude!!

[jackjones]

Don't forget to smash that SubViz button! =D

[shanieboi]

This was an interesting peak behind the curtain. Now i have seen the wizard, some of the magic is gone.

Here is the upscale color corrected haloid by Monty Oum who sadly passed away awhile back but that kinda jank somewhat video gamey vibe while still having just epic choreography

[flippert]

Really intersting to hear about the various "vizes".

[thelazmanalvarez]

Clash of the Titians (1981) When Perseus's Becomes Invisibles from the helmet stepping onto the sand and leaving Foot prints I Literally have no idea (Around 26:27) It may be simple to you but Absolutely magical to me. Thank you again with all your

It would be great if you could take a look at the scene in Royal Wedding were Fred Astaire dances on the walls & ceiling of a room. It still looks great to this day and has a lot of subtle things that sell the effect. And it could be fun to compare it to the scene in Inception were Nolan used exactly the same effect, decades later.

[Sconesbreakfast]

I was strangely impressed with the new Wonko effects with the giraffe and oompa loompa and would love for you guys to critique it!!

[Dad......]

The ultimate "feels like previs" animation in my mind is Monty Oum's Haloid from back in the day. Good look finding a good looking copy to upload though.
