Thanks for watching er'body! If you want to watch this entire show from the beginning you can do that here ►

Coolest thing learned from watching this show, is how things are made. Not a VFX artist, not wanting to be one, but curious to see how things are made

[paulyguitary]

“Only dragonflies can do 3D flight”
I feel like hummingbirds may want to have a word with Wren

[tomthummer]

Lol WHAT. I spend my entire life trying to make an ear worm and instead I conjured up a throat worm. That's crazy to find out.

[FelipeZabala]

Thanks guys! Loving the fact that you're using the "chapters" function on youtube now, makes it much easier and informative. Keep up the good content!

Wren: “they’re the only creature that can do 3D flight like - up, down, left, right - no other creature can do that.”

Hummingbird: “am I a joke to you?”
Bumblebee: “hold my nectar”

[BnGoTheChannel]

When you see Dune you know creatures are made with an incredible attention to the details.. but knowing how they actually made is so inspiring!

[intharthsnowfaller]

Honestly one of the coolest episodes to me was the one with the guy who spoke about the Pirates of the Carribean ship - the visual effects meets practical effects with the wood splintering etc and the wave sim shots - that stuff blew my mind.

[titanicsinclair]

The coolest thing I learned from this show is that we can do it too. I was completely jaded as a filmmaker and watching your videos made me love it again. Now I’m obsessed with Unreal/CGI and making weird YouTube movies is fun again. Thanks y’all!

[tobyellingwood]

Robyn was an awesome guest, I'd love to see more of him. Amazing insights into some of the best VFX shots of all time. Such a treat

[JCW]

The VFX in Dune were amazing, but can we also appreciate how good the sound design is? When those ornithopters were about to take off, the sound is just pure perfection

[Spooken]

I love how Wren's natural enthusiasm makes him the perfect interviewer

[keldonmorse]

If they haven't already, they should look at the Formic Queen meeting scene from Enders game. I'd like to here their input on the queens design.

[samualjackson]

the fact that the vfx animators put thought of real life scientific facts and knowledge into the movies like dune makes it feel much more authentic and natural

[iankelsall]

the mouse in the new dune shown here is truly impressive, you just accept it as a real animal, rather than saying 'oh, that's a really good cgi effect.'

[pineconequeen]

The coolest thing I learned is the amount of “studying” and effort that goes into each effect, even the ones that aren’t that good, and just how much detail each one requires, particularly the good shots.

[alfonsoPina]

My Favorite part of this is how much Wren is nerding out on the finite details. Wren is so smart and you can see him learning something new every second of this video.

[FelixEA]

The coolest thing I've learned from this show is probably how shockingly clever and genuinely mesmerizing old visual effects are. The iconic use of mirrors to create otherwise impossible scenes for their times and all that. It's always so fun and so eye opening

[alangoodwin]

I think what I learned the most from VFXR is just how much science goes into effects. The research and homework that goes into, even small unnecessary details that most viewers won't even detect. The level pure level of passion on finding the proper way to depict something. Thats not only what I've learned most but also what fascinates me the most in the show

[ttrev]

What i have learned is that the level of complexity needed to reproduce things that come so easily in the natural world is impressive. It is so cool to learn about the complexity in lighting, the natural movement, etc. needed to make things look real.
