You can tell a great leader/manager/supervisor: this dude spent the whole video praising his teammates and never once talked about himself.

[Nurolight]

Big shout out to Wes Ball for being one of the few directors out there who isn't downplaying the work of VFX artists. None of this "we did it for real" crap. He posts extensive BTS looks at the work that went into the Apes in this on Twitter.

Please do a " scale of 44 peta-bytes visualised in 1TB hard disks" 😂

As the Weta creatures supervisor on the film this video made my day.

Whoever was in charge of bringing Raka to life needs a raise, he was on another level in term of realism, facial expressions and charisma

This movie fulfilled the main purpose of the cgi in this movie. to forget you're essentially watching a state of the art roger rabbit and just get into the story. That river scene was amazing. and it had to be to sell what was happening.

I had no idea the director made the Ruin short film! When he said that I want "OHH!!!" That was an outstanding piece of work, I am so overjoyed that it lead to him making this. People say short films won't get you to making movies, well... Clearly it does, and clearly he is crazy talented and earned it. I love this movie.

[HarimauBergaring]

honestly i love how i cannot find anyother channels on youtube that does a React series that has lasted for so long and kept getting better.
love u guys at corridor.

Some of the CGI in early series of House MD could be worth reviewing. They do the "camera moving through a glass door" a few times in season 3 which was very ambitious for TV.

Amazing CGI, but dawn of the planets cannot be beat. The color grading was on another level for its time.

I've just seen this movie credit role in IMDB, and quickly realize the overall CG work is full on WETA works, not shared with many different studios (which usually the typical AAA movies did for the shorter deadline). Which is why this movie VFX is legit awesome from WETA's consistent work. Hope to get the shine they deserved with Oscar

My dad's greatest joy in life is going to the movies and I love to share that with him. We've gone together to see almost every movie WETA's worked on since the 2010s, and every single time we leave the theater he goes on for hours about how he just can't believe how movies and CGI have developed just in his lifetime. He truly cannot conceptualize how you can create all these wonderful worlds from just computers. I love trying my best to explain it to him and realizing every time just how little I understand it myself!

Thanks for all the amazing work you do bringing new worlds to life and the many, many wonderful memories!

For everything WETA have done here, Eagley is one of the most impressive animal sims I’ve seen, so convincing.

[The_Orgin]

Please do react to "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.". Lots of robots, spaceships, time travel, gravitonium, Inhumans and of course more importantly Ghost Rider, Lola etc.
It's got quite some stuff to get its own episode.

14:00 The more I hear about how incredibly helpful it is to have a director who is also a visual-effects artist working on a movie makes me wonder when the hell Hollywood will actually LISTEN and realize how essential this distinction is for a movie that will produce incredible VFX shots for a fraction of the time and the budget.

Video idea: Twisters! The opening scene has a twister. A character is supposed to be struggling to not get blown away. I was looking at it and wondering why the wind effects didn't look grounded. Then I realized: **Her hair wasn't even really moving**. They just animated a bunch of wind and particle effects around her, but didn't seem to bother blowing a meaningful amount of wind on the character when they were actually shooting. The moment I'm talking about is at the end of the scene at roughly the 13 minute mark. This would be an interesting sequence to cover! Cheers Corridor Crew, you rock!

Imagine storing and executing files size of 44 Peta bytes and the machines hardware/software capability....holy moly!!! That's why they're top of their game !

[TheMokeleMbembe]

THE WORLD WITHOUT US has been a favorite of mine since it came out, super cool to see it get namedropped here as a reference

[munk.]

This guy was chill as hell, y'all should invite him back some time

[pattabiramanmuthu]
