Thanks for watching er'body! If you want to watch this entire show from the beginning you can do that here ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_4WrKeoeZhk&list=PLwVUbPpIRn1QspuvMVVfQvO7RPWnMJ1aA&index=1

Putting it out there again: Dredd (2012)'s Slo-Mo FX! It's a lot of basic slow-motion, but they tweak it with VFX to such a pleasing and iconic aesthetic that it DESERVES to be reacted to!

Yes! This shots are probably pretty simple in terms of execution but standsm out purely due to great art direction

Think they already did it way back

They already did a couple years ago I think.

YES! In fact the whole movie needs to be done. The effects in it are amazing.

Funny thing, Gavin Free did the slow motion shots in Dredd, and they know him and already called him on an episode to talk about his work on Sherlock Holmes.

what gets me in the breaking bad scene is the explosion itself. it's so realistic and raw, no intense fireballs or any of that stuff. just plain power and awesomeness

the door flying off is kinda cartoony to me, like they sped up the footage to make it faster kinda thing.

@Snow Fox yea guess so, it made it look more powerful to me tho hahaha

That’s because it was real

@Snow Fox It's not, it was a real practical explosion. You can find the making off of this scene with footage of the real explosion from different angles.

@Snow Fox doors are heavy and explosives are very strong

I believe we were promise over a year ago now: Love, Death and Robots. I have been waiting very patiently I would love to see you guys do a multipart series looking at those! 😊

I haven’t thought about that show in a while, but they haven’t done an animators / vfx reacts to that one? Kinda weird, although it’s not the craziest one I’d like to see Zima Blue just cause it’s my favorite.

YESSSS

Phwooargh GREAT idea! Also… where's a Starship Troopers Special?

And a Hobbit Episode is also still missing.

Yes!! I remember watching those scenes in the Witcher and praying you guys would break it down. My brain kept going “That’s CG! Wait, it’s not CG, no, that’s CG! Wait? That’s not CG?” Glad to finally have some closure 😂.

I would love to see y’all discuss the hunger games! As the series progressed, the cgi became better and better. Additionally, much of the cgi was creating environments which were very stylized, and I would love to hear y’all discuss how to create convincing environments while keeping a specific style

The 2nd one was filmed partially at the Atlanta Beach, which was an artificial beach constructed for the 96 Olympics, to have the circular beach in the arena. The VFX in those shots is incredible, I think the only thing that isn't created is the beach itself. The entire background and I'm sure lots of the stuff in the water is CG.

I'd like to see you guys react to: -Silent Hill (2006) - the otherworld transitions, and Monsters designs -Sam Raimi's Spider man 1 and 3 (sandman effects, Venom and symbiote effects) This one is more of a technical question, but in Spiderman No Way Home, they obviously reused footage of the lizard and Sandman from their original films. But they had different effects, which requires, I assume, the original footage that was caught on camera. Is it common practice to save raw footage for that long? Edit: I can't believe I forgot this but also in Silent Hill there's a scene with dark Alessa hugging Rose and then just kinda "integrates" herself into her.

Especially since the monsters were practical effects and were guys in monster makeup.

@Monika I especially remember one which had his legs covered in green tights which were then cut off

Technically speaking that kind of effect can be done without the raw footage, but regardless it does look like they used said raw footage to achieve the best look possible. Film and video are rarely discarded for major productions nowadays and are almost always archived. The shot they used for Lizard wasn’t even in the original film it was an unused take from a different angle.

Silent Hill nurse dancing!!!

@Parzival Ok, but the shot where they used Sandman turning back to his human form was almost clearly the same one where in the original film his hand was turning to mud. I assume they'd had to use the raw footage for this, no? And that's from 2007 or even 2006, when it was filmed.

I watched a 25-minute feature about how they did the explosion scene in Breaking Bad, the practical effects alone are so impressive. Also they did _19 takes_ of the panning shot after Gus walks out of the room! That's how many it took before Vince was satisfied. And then, when he reviewed them without knowing which takes were which, that 19th take is the one he ended up choosing.

Just shows how perfectionism pays off!

Ahhh, I'm so disappointed they didn't talk about the VFX that needed to be done to cover the track in Gus's last shot. They had to digitally replace the debris on the floor in order to cover the camera track. That was also a very impressive feat.

Overall I'd say VFX artists don't get enough recognition and respect, they are as important as actors. Truly a work of art!

The effects work is great on the Breaking Bad Gus shot, but the building up takes it to another level. The reveal of him walking there with the good side of his face showing makes you think he survived. But then as you hear the shrieks of the nurses you see that he’s now missing face his face and one of the greatest villains I’ve seen goes out with a bang like none other.

Episode 1 of Euphoria where Rue comes out of the bathroom and walks around the hallway, its so impressive! Also, congratulations on the little one, Niko g

Niko has that “I have a Newborn Baby and haven’t slept in three days” look to him. Congrats and hang in there bub, you’re a trooper

He's devasteted by that new shitty Matrix movie

Hey man congrats your comment has been copied by a lot of bots on this video.

@Hater that will definitely do it

@Himanshu Gautam binary imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I guess

@Hater the movie was fantastic actually. Only thing that was lacking was the fight choreography.

That gus scene, when I first saw it, gave me a heart attack. So convincing. So realistic.

The heart attack from me was knowing he *had* to be dead, and then seeing him walk out. Impossible! There's no *way* he could've survived! But, if anyone *could* have, it would be Gus... And there was nothing else in the show to suggest that kind of VFX budget. It was absolutely amazing filmmaking.

It's been years and I'm still kinda mad I got that shot spoiled before I was able to see the episode.

Wren's vibe is always impeccable

The birth giving scene in children of men is pretty incredible, it's the most realistic looking new born I've seen in a film for sure.

I’ve been watching vfx artists react since day one! Crazy that there’s been 61 of them! Keep up the great work corridor!

Greeting from Japan. I just started learning about VFX. And this series is very educational to me for what I should be careful of as a VFX artist. Keep up your good work!!

I’m surprised that you haven’t covered the original Jumanji and Zathura, both have their ups and downs in terms of VFX, both are pretty cool

They did.

They did Jumanji, but I don't remember if they did Zarthura

@ddevil Yup, the did the robot part, don't know when but I remember seeing it

@3guys1hammer yeah I remember them doing the stampede part of Jumanji also.

I’m not sure if you’ve done this movie yet, but the scene in Contact, where the daughter is running to get her dad’s medicine is a pretty good shot. Especially considering the time it came out.

The Expanse. Masterful practical + digital effects throughout the whole series, immersing the audience in zero gravity. They just finished their last season, the finale was a work of art (if nothing else, the cargo container sequence). The show has been on air for years and I think it's about time y'all honored it with your attention. Have Adam Savage back, he'll tell ya!

The Breaking Bad scene still make my guts turn arround. Masterpiesce

Would be great to see you guys do the behind the scenes for the Hobbit and Benedict Cumberbatch's insistence on using motion capture despite no one thinking it’s needed

You should definitely do Spike Jonze' Apple commercial with FKA Twigs. Most of the effects there are practical but they're absolutely mind-blowing. In general I think some music videos can be fun to react to

Nivellen was SO well-done in that Witcher season 2 episode. Could’ve fooled me that it was all prosthetics, but nope, the whole face is CG. Now that’s some masterful VFX work that doesn’t overdo it while also allowing the actor to not be bothered by makeup and prosthetics for his facial performance. Also, Kristofer Hivju did it brilliantly. But man, is it weird to see him cleanly shaved after seeing him with a full beard for so long, lol

Agree, I read an interview with him when he had done a Swedish police drama and he jokingly said something about having it in his contract his character had to have a beard. 😁

I could have sworn the eyes were real.

Just re-watched the 1955 movie Tarantula! Its a very interesting old school sci-fi that has some interesting VFX! -I kept wondering how they did some shots and I think you guys on the couch would enjoy going over it!

You guys should react to Eternals CGI. One scene that stuck out the most was when Ikaris was fighting a Deviant, his body being dragged around by the creature while he keeps blasting his eyebeams. Loved the lighting and the animation in that. Reminded me of the bear scene in The Revenant.

You guys are SUCH an underrated channel!

I would love if you talked about the moon bandit scene from Ad Astra! It’s incredible and they have a being the scene clip too. It absolutely blew my mind the first time I saw it

Man, Giancarlo is such an underrated actor... First thing I remember seeing him in was Trading Places as one of the jailbirds in with Eddie Murphy's character. Man's got some good roles.

For me that Nivellan (The Witcher) effect is so great due to the eyes being real, that ties it together and the performance so well.

I was 100% sure it was a prosthetic. It's just impressive.

@Mickaël Perrier It fooled me in the best way possible

The rug really tied the effect together.

I assumed the eyes were makeup and the nose down was cgi. I remember totally trying to figure it out when I was watching it for the first time

The lip movements didn't look right. His lips needed to form a momentary seal when he speaks a "p". That's not actually possible when you have adjacent exposed teeth (in this case going both up and down). Nivellen's lips don't conform around his teeth, and we expect to see that when he talks. I realize it's a lot of work, but lips don't just go up and down when we talk. They are so agile that deaf people can tell what you are saying from looking at your lips! Watch Nivellen again -- you can't do that, his lips are too stiff. Human lips are more compliant, and we actively use our teeth to support them. People missing front teeth have speech impediments that you can hear. There's another problem, which is that teeth can't be exposed all the time, because they'd dry out and then shatter. Water isn't enough -- dentin requires saliva to maintain toughness and mend microfractures. Even the big canines of a lion or tiger or the protruding lowers of a hippo are covered and kept wet by loose lips that fold over them nearly all the time. These long lips are pulled back when fighting or eating, leading to the characteristic wrinkles that we associate with fierceness.

Would love to see you react to the tragedy of Macbeth. It’s got some super unique visuals

Wren's transitions are legendary.

Matrix bullet scene: you guys can't imagine the amount of versions have been done just to make the sparks look like what Lana wanted. Also, in my opinion, the Analyst wasn't supposed to look smeary like in the first movie. He is not an agent, just a matter of director's taste, different time-zones and looks. At least you didn't say anything about Neo's CG hair and coat! :D

I'm almost 65 and love what you guys do. A brief history, I was part of of a improv group in high school and eventually ended up in Second City Toronto. Back in the day we would volunteer at our local cable TV station to learn how it all works and then come in with our skits/material and film it ourselves. That was decades ago and during the past few years I've enjoyed your Saturday at noon drops and during Covid you have have inspired us to get creative again. My thanks (Hey I know you need the bucks and understood, some of us can't afford another internet cost but at least ya still give us the YouTube)

I think Barney from How I Met Your Mother actually saying the words “bullet time” killed the scene more than any visual effect ever could.

Corridor Crew should definitely react to The Chronicles of Narnia. Both the Disney (and Fox) films, but also the older BBC TV show that has some rather crazy effects.

BBC rendition needs a full episode for sure

Good Choice

The Breaking Bad scene is what finally made me watch the show. I kept seeing the ending of each episode on recordings of other shows I was watching, but never watched the show because I could not see how a show about a Meth dealer could be good. Then I saw him walk out of a room, with half his face blown off, and I said "Okay... I have to see what leads up to this." I am so glad I finally watched the show.

I didn't realize how intense those mirror effects were in the new Matrix. A The new Candyman has really great mirror shots throughout and some pretty decent stunt work. That's one that could have some solid reactions from a vfx and stuntwork perspective.

Y'all need to react to Chronicle, the story of 3 teenagers that get telekinesis and it's completely told through POV from the camera of the protagonist (it changes pov from different cameras, security cameras and phone) it is never showed like a regular movie. Looks realistic and awesome.

Fun idea for a video really just for my own reference. Perhaps a corridor special episode where the best lessons on each VFX artist react is grouped almost like Clint’s VFX 101 video form like 8 years ago that still slaps but grouped together with some of the best examples from the show, maybe an Example of the VFX technique/tool being used effectively as well as ineffectively and why and how it could be better! I love going back through the VFX artist react playlist or keyword searching to find , what was that method they used? and how did they do that shot?!! So I think it would be like a vfx Encyclopedia!!!! Might be a big task for the editors to go through the hundreds of episodes but it will be a great resource to humanity as a whole :) :)

Congrats on the second kid Niko! It's crazy growing up along side you guys over the last 10 odd years. Take care :)

Please react to the Bumblebee movie Opening Scene, its such a Brilliaint scene. And i would love to see your thoughts on it, Everything in that scene is pretty insane, (the lightning, CGI, Explosions, Motions...)

100%, loved that Scene!

Oh god yes I don't know why I haven't suggested that yet cause it's so good.

Yes, compare the bots from Bumblebee to the shitty Bayformers..

Ugh that scene looked sooo fake

Those first 5 minutes was better the the rest of the entire live action Transformers movie-verse

Just Binged Severance and I could never skip the opening credits. It's so satisfying to watch and see clues about it the show. I would love to see an episode dedicated to well done CGI intros. ( Severance, Game of Thrones, Westworld, new Lord of the Rings....etc..) love every episode. Keep it up everyone!

I am not a VFX guy but i love these VFX breakdown videos.

The creature work in The Eternals was really good, but there's a specific shot I think you'd like. In the fight at Druig's compound there's a moment where a deviant gets killed and they just toss the tail away after they kill it and the weight of it feels so real

I was legit craving for a CGI react video right now. Thank you for making my Saturday!

Same

HEHE BOI

Me too…

Me too

Bro it's Monday

I’d love to see you react to some of the VFX in LOST. I’m talking about the clock/timer in the Hatch (Full CG), the boars(occasionally CG), and of course the smoke monster. It’s definitely outdated and looks a bit janky, but it’s fun.

I'm ngl this series and the channel has really made me appreciate CGI and vfx and how much work goes into all of that, and most of all, what looks better and why and vice versa. You guys are awesome and I appreciate this so much

Hello! I have a suggestion for a breakdown. I’m not too sure if this qualifies as VFX, but here goes: I was just watching an episode of the korean drama “Mr. Sunshine”. I could not stop feeling that everything just “looks so fake”. Nothing looks like it’s actually taking place in a real location, and this is no matter what scene i take. I can’t put my finger on it, and it’s killing me!! I would LOVE an expert’s take.

Just saw a pretty trippy scene from the pilot of Euphoria with a spinning hallway. A breakdown of how to pull off a shot like that would be cool

I’d love to see you all talk about The Haunting. The 1963 version I believe was all practical effects and then they remade it in 1999 with CGI, maybe you could compare them.

I’d really like to see you guys react to some of the Narnia movies from the early 2000s. They hold up surprisingly well in my opinion

Maybe I'm wrong but I think they did talk about Aslan in one of the earlier episodes.

@ethai1 Maybe! I don’t remember. I would particularly like to see the Dawn Treader painting scene

I would love to hear you talk about the Watchman series, specifically episode 6. The camera work and fades create such beautiful storytelling. The hanging would be specifically interesting to hear you talk about the mechanics, but there’s so much you could discuss in that episode.

This was a good episode. Lots of great questions asked.

Would love to see you guys dive in to The Expanse. Amazing show with some top-notch effects (and plenty of janky ones too).

I think the difference between the NPH bullet time versus the original bullet time, is that we're seeing things from NPH's perspective where he is the one moving (and perceiving) fast, instead of from Neo's perspective being slower observing something moving fast. So it does make some sense to look different. Note, I haven't seen the movie.

Throwing it into the cosmos again. Bunraku (2011) sports many big names and the aesthetic is of the charts. A criminally underated movie. The set, stunts, camera work. I would recommend it's version of the "Hallway scene"

The framerate is supposed to be different in the train scene because Neo is being affected by the red pill. We're seeing things from his perspective. The bullet time wouldn't look the same as the agents because the analyst isn't doing the exact same thing as the agents. He's not really moving faster, he's slowing down the matrix itself. That's why Neo and Trinity can understand him and why Neo is having such a hard time with it.

The movie was pure garbage...

@ddevil Yeah, I don't know why we're defending it. It's completely terrible and I think it's just offensive to the last films. It doesn't even look like a Matrix film anymore! It looks like some confused hollywood ****. None of the prior aesthetics. The Corridoor Crew were SPOT ON

React to the dragon in Iron Mask (2019). It is so bad

@Biskuit Think you're asking the wrong person.

@Auron1Roxas2 woops, you right. Sorry!

Real simple but fun vfx shot! The impaled zombie in Shaun of the Dead. The timing with the wind up camera is great.

i really liked the jankiness of the NPH slow-mo sequence. it was an affect i hadn't seen before and felt unique and jarring which i think was the intended result

It IS the intended result and Its so frustrating that they don't realize it. It's a stylized attempt at portraying latency in like an online video game. I think its super cool, and exactly what they were going for. They wanted to try something different than just re-doing an old effect that they already proved they could do perfectly, even back then.

@RetroRad The mismatched framerate is the intended part, the terrible rotoscoping, bad exposure and lighting is not the intended part. Unless the goal is to make it look like low budget cgi, in which case they succeeded.

You guys have to check out the absolutely amazing motion capture and de-aging of ABBA for their new album release. It's something different then the typical movie.

The opening shot of The 'Burbs. A film in the 1980s had a continuous zoom from the Universal logo down to street level. Seamlessly done

Hey, dig what y’all do I could never understand why in Little Shop of Horrors puppetry Audrey II’s puppetry seems so much more articulate than anything from the 80’s,kinda holds up nowadays too. I’ve looked around, not a lot of info on this subject

Jordan is so good, I watched the whole sponsored segment! I also loved her acting in the lightsaber film. More Jordan please!

If my hair was like Jordan's, I would grow it out long again. And I'm a dude.

Her name is awesome btw

@Sledge

@Herman Robak Ok

I feel like Wren was the only one who wasn't trying to go out of his way to talk down the matrix. Feels like had a lot more to say.

Putting out that you guys should do a stunt person reacts to Jackie Chan’s First Strike because the level of stunts leaps exponentially in that one compared to the other police story films. The ladder fight and the opening ski chase would be the best scenes to react to imo.

Yo, could you do the ending credits sequence for Antman and the Wasp? They made it look like real life painted plastic minis of the whole movie. They even seemed to use "camera" effects to try to mimic that scale. I legit thought the prop department made actual face scanned 3d minis at first.

I wanna hear a full critical review of Matrix 4. I had mixed feelings and it feels good to hear these guys deal it out, too.

Please you GOT to watch this one! This last weekend I watched some of the first Supernatural season, and they had a Bloody Mary episode where she kind of teleports between mirrors. This show had some whacky vfx in it but that one when you first see her in the mirror is killing

You guys should review Narnia. I’m amazed at how well the animal effects have held up for years.

Please do the Elysium head grenade scene, it uses hyper violence in a almost throw away way that you miss it the first time you see it. AMAZING

The 12 fps thing, that was a big technique in the 90s. You see it a lot in the LOTRs too (When showing the orcs moving). It's like a weird way to simulate a slow-mo feel while keeping things fast speed. It has its place sometimes but it's never been an effect I really liked.

This was great and I started drinking Huel last month and it’s significantly helped my IBS issues.

I’d love to see you guys react to all of the Marvel Disney+ shows, especially the WandaVision scene where they used practical effects, but I also recommend The Orville since the show had a fully CG character that resembles a gelatinous blob.

Breaking Bad was so well made. This scene was so effective and they foreshadowed it with the burned teddy bear Walt finds

It is now a great Saturday! Thanks guys, love your reacts!

We need another Marvel VFX breakdown again, eternals and no way home were insane!!

If you guys haven’t reviewed it already, I’d love to see a breakdown of Dark Shadows (2012). Some nutty CG in that movie, I think the final fight would be interesting to see you cover.

Oh yes. Please do!

Would love to see you guys talk about the practical effects of the plant from Little Shop of Horrors

I was really confused about Nivellen’s face when I first saw The Witcher season 2. Sometimes it looked really practical but sometimes it looked CGI. So glad you guys covered it!

I want to see how mirror effect was made in "Last Night in Soho". I think it's pretty cool

I would LOVE for you guys to do a deep dive on the VFX for The Expanse, terrific show with some stellar production value. 🙏

I just watched the last episode of the last season, and now I am sad because it was the only good space show out there...

I was just about to comment, this ide suggest looking at the ring gate explosions (season end of season 5 and 6), and some of the anti gravity liquid effects. also maybe the some season 1 effects as well as the weird creatures from season 6 and the proto molecule creature.

@Lyubomir Grigorov the planet drop scene from the last episode is pretty rough, one of the worst scenes I've seen in a while but everything else has always been passable at the very least IMO.

@Lyubomir Grigorov rightt?? and there's still so much more story to tell and they just ended it at season 6 😩

@YOSHI Totally agree it would be great to have more as there are 3 more books in the series. From what I can gather the story takes a leap 30 years into the future, so the current storyline with Holden, Amos, Naomi are at their natural conclusion. Think it was a case of going out on a high point for the actors too, but the creative team have said never say never to a return. 🙏

I’d love to see you guys react to all of Blizzard’s animation cinematics for WoW and Diablo

A breakdown of legions stunning vfx shots would be awesome

you guys should do a music video episode. Chris Cunnigham/Bjork video "All is full of love" (1999) - effects are solid and still hold up today. Chris Cunnigham/Aphex Twin "Come to Daddy" (1997) - great uncanny valley nightmare fuel and I'd love to watch Wren squirm to that one. And Dom & Nic/The Chemical Brothers "Believe" (2005) - some sweet compositing there. Love you guys, keep it up.

Hey guys, you should do 1988s "The Blob". There were some amazing scenes utilizing practical effects that I would love to see breakdowns for!

The demon girl in the same episode has really good vfx

This has to be one of the best youtube shows of them all. It's so interesting, entertaining and educational, to boot. Many props and my best wishes to you all, Corridor Crew! 🙏

I'd love to see your guys opinions on No Way Home (if we're past the point of spoilers being an issue). But, also the Book of Boba Fett once the season finishes! Lots of great stuff in that show that I'd love to see explained :)

I know you guys have reviewed the movie before but not the opening scene of Revenge of the sixth, I think to this day the lighting in that scene is incredible and for it’s time it holds ups so well So does general grebvious that one, that one shot where he’s walking spinning all 4 lightsabers with the sparks

I would love to see your guys' take on the vfx in Resident Evil: Welcome To Raccoon City because some of them (namely Birkin's final G-Virus form) look a little bit off and would like to hear how you might do it better, as well as some of the other vfx in the movie because some of them look solid. Just try not to think about how wrong they did Leon in it.

Since you reviewed NPH Bullet Time and showed Witcher S2, I thought you would parallel how well they did the disjointed movement of the Bruxa with how they handled NPH

Nivellin in the witcher had me scratching my head after seeing the episode and I had to look it up. It looks so good!!!

I would love to see you guys react to the Expanse, the show's final episode just aired and it has one of the greatest cgi battles I've ever seen

Yes please

Yes!

I’ve always liked the Wolfman- would be cool to see some reacts to that

Love the Matrix breakdown, thank you, guys!

For stuntmen texts y’all should react to the end fight of an apex animated short called Gridiron, it had some insanely well done choreography!

You guys have to look at the new Peacemaker series. The eagle (Eagly) has got to be some of the best animal CGI I've ever seen.

Hey, have you guys ever looked into the practical effects of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? There's very little CG in it, so it'd be a lot of fun to explore the "how did they do that?!" effects!
