I was a Visualization Supervisor on Antman3. The Blight (with all the multiplying Scotts) was an insane sequence to figure out. The most challenging sequence of my career thus far for sure. We did so many versions. It was a blast though, we had so much creative freedom.

[AnsleyCG]

Very cool critique and review! I was the texture painter for Modok’s face. I appreciate you taking the time to talk about our big headed guy, we put a lot of hard work and cool tech into him. Keep up the great vids! I’ve been watching them for some time.

[Nanan]

Just love how at 7:00 it is the whole M433 40mm grenade, shell and all, that is flying at her.

[uncletrash]

So about the T-Pain video, he did it all live on Twitch! He streams almost every day and he was working on Dream for months. The work he did on this is amazing.

[krinkov]

The grenade launcher in Wonder Woman is firing the entire grenade shell rather than just the grenade projectile. It would be like animating slow motion bullets flying through the air with the brass cases still attached to them.

[knotshimi]

That fake child when she rolls gets me everytime I see it in slowmo, them replaying it almost killed me, it looks funnier each time 🤣🤣

[QLombardoQ]

Mouse Hunt is amazing! My favourite scene is when the mouse lures the cat that's hunting him to step into 4 mousetraps with each paw all at once, but not before snapping his tail with a 5th one. It's such a creative shot!

[cleverusername]

If I remember correctly, the director of Mouse Hunt (Gore Verbinski) went on to do The Ring and the first 3 Pirates of the Caribbean movies. He was working on a Bioshock movie, but it was scrapped because he wanted to film in a water tank and it would've been expensive

[ficken.sneakin.passcha]

Mouse Hunt legitimately rules. Criminally underrated.

[Mr_M_]

Fun fact about Mouse Hunt, the guy shooting nails into the wall is a comedian called Lee Evans who is super well known in the UK. Was genuinely one of the funniest stand-ups around at the time. He retired a few years ago after his manager passed away, though.

[transdog]

“Death Becomes Her” has some really interesting vfx for its time. Would love to see a breakdown.

[Droptima]

Thank you for finally doing Christine, I had been asking for that shot for so long. Saw it and had no idea how they pulled it off

[willbill]

I like how we went to "I could be sick, so I should probably stay 12 feet from other people" to "I am definitely sick, but let me just sit on this couch like normal"

[astralboyo]

Seeing you guys discuss the VFX of MODOK and give your critiques about why some people may have been turned off to it in as civil a way as you did was such a nice change of pace from how most people would look at it nowadays, especially since their knee-jerk reaction is often to just screenshot one frame of it and go "WoW, iT lOoK bAd, MaRveL fElL oFf"

[RonAcronym]

A full minute of Jordan, thank you Corridor Crew.

[Musicswagg]

The vfx from "batteries not included" was awesome then and still holds up now!

[Killerhitman]

Matt was just there for the ad read but he still made me smile - Matt appreciation post love your work and attitude bro

[archerseo]

WW84 had so much potential but instead Wonder Woman essentially steals a dude's body, soul, apartment, and pretends it's dead Steve Rogers and then is like "Kristen Wiig you should not have wished to become a cat"

[noscar_]

HOLY SHIT It's been a long time I haven't see Mousehunt!! I used to loved that movie when I was kid! I might check it back again. TQ Corridor Crew!!

[tomferguson]

I was genuinely surprised that you guys hadn't done an episode on Christine. Classic John Carpenter, he knew how to use practical effects & overcome limitations of that time.
