This was the thing about pre-cgi movies, there was no easy way to do these complicated shots... You had to come up with really clever ways to achieve the desired effect. Those car chase shots in League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen are extremely impressive, even though that movie was widely considered to be a laughing stock back when it came out.

Thanks for your kind words about Rorschach in Watchmen, I was the CG Supervisor for Inteligent Creature Inc in Toronto, we were responsible for all the Rorshach mask shots in the final movie. One correction I'd like to make is that you showed tests carried our in pre-production by Frantic Films (you can see their name in the top right) but we won the contract over them. We didn't just have 5 shapes we moved between, we animated all shots bespoke from scratch using a 2D animation setup I created in Maya.

Hi, I’m Pat Mcclung. I was the visual effects supervisor on Dante’s Peak. There is so much to talk about in this film that I won’t go into great detail. This was the third show I had ever supervised, I was working at Digital Domain running the model shop and ask Jim Cameron if I could bump up to VFX Sup. He said yes. I did Sargent Bioko first, then Chain Reaction followed by Dante’s Peak. We were on an extremely short schedule to beat out Volcano. The reason it looks great is simple the crew that I had. They were the best. All the SFX including the water were supervised by Richard Stutsman, miniatures by Alan Faucher. There is so much to this film I would need a couple of hours to explain it all. It was quite a ride, 2 weeks later I started on Armageddon.

You guys did incredible work on this film. How was the truck over lava scene done? The scale of the fire and the mass / movement of the truck look so real I have no idea how those shots could have been done in the way they are describing lol. Especially the tires disintegrating with the glowing lava...

@patrickmcclung3 6 ай бұрын

@@StickHits I asked the production to use a day glow reddish paint/ goop for the practical truck to drive through. The compositors keyed the goop and changed the color and brightness along with some heat distortion to get the hot lava look. Otherwise it was all practical until the flowing CG lava at the end of the sequence. This was my third show as VFX supervisor and the goop idea was a bit of a guess as to it working. Luckily it did! Thanks for the interest.

I worked on the first Harry Potter film in the model unit (miniatures) and I can tell you first hand, working on the miniatures was an absolute blast! We made various different scale sections of the school for close ups/fly by shots, as well as the full Hogwarts. We also made a bunch a forced perspective streets etc, and it was incredible to work on a fantasy style film that required plenty of models with such high detail. Even on the school windows, every single window pane was made of plastic transparency film and scored across with a pen, so any reflected light scattered in different directions to give the illusion of individual tiny panes of glass with lead piping. That one i know far too well as i did nearly all of them 😆 (We also stole some pre-made model trees that were left from Sleepy Hollow... Shhhh) 😆

I don’t love the Watchmen movie but the way they portrayed Rorschach was literally perfect. Such a brilliant move to make the mask flow and change organically rather than have a few different ones for each scene.

A while back I was checking out some random costume stuff and stumbled across some of these Watchmen Rorschach masks. They had thermal-shifting dyes used in the mask that would switch between a couple different designs (each mask had 2 designs but there were 4 or 5 different configurations) depending on the temperature. So when you exhaled the temperature caused the dyes to change from normal, but would return back when you inhaled while wearing the mask. It did a really cool job of making the mask appear to shift/change while it was worn. Now when I see the Rorschach character, that mask is all I can think about

@Stevenwave- Жыл бұрын

I feel like I'm having a bell ring in the very vague distance, that it was an outer layer, an inner layer, and that dye in-between?

@@Stevenwave- From what I remember, it was the same kind of dye that they used to put in tee shirts back in the late 80s and early 90s that would change with temperature. So the mask was only 1 layer of fabric and had 2 temperature variant dyes that would appear/disappear when the temperature changed between warm and cold. There's still several vendors online so just do a quick Google/Bing search for Rorschach changing masks and they'll be within the first few results.

I'm pretty sure you guys have already covered this, but the LoTR trilogy has some REALLY good miniature work.

Yep, they did at least one or two videos about the CGI and the miniatures.

For me Watchmen, the first couple of Transformers movies, and the first couple of Pirates of the Caribbean movies are the prime examples of movies that were way ahead of their time, CGI wise. Disregarding whatever flaws the actual movies have, they look better visually than most of the movies that come out today.

Journey to the Beginning of Time from 1955 contains actors in conjunction with stop-motion animation of dinosaurs, alongside other clever techniques, way before Jurassic Park. I recommend taking a look.👌

I love miniatures too! great episode, would love you guys to do more episodes. Also puppetry is pretty cool as well, the amount of work Jim Henson put into movies like the Dark Crystal is amazing and the Netflix Prequel the Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance (I'm still extremely salty about Netflix canceling the series) they did some great work too, the amount of detail they put into it you could see on the making of documentary.

Stop motion counts as miniatures right? Kubo and the Two Strings has some insane action sequences worth taking a look at the behind the scenes for!

Did you know that Michael Jackson used miniatures in his Leave Me Alone and Black or White videos. You should consider covering them as he has so many short films with practical and visual effects. Well, that’s you’re weekly request for MJ that you will ignore again 👋🏽

Love seeing how practical effects are used and the creativity of them. Can we get a TOP 10 list of the crews favorite practical effects? Of maybe sub categories of practical effects with motion cams, perspective, miniatures, and more?

Miniature work in film, starting with Star Wars, is THE reason why I got interested in filmmaking at all. CG and VFX are awesome, but there's nothing like an awesome miniature set or sequence.

The best miniatures have to be the Terminator 2 nuke scene and the Independence Day initial destruction scenes. Blowing up New York, LA, and Washington DC looked sooo good. And the method they used for explosions so they blew out sideways instead of up was so good.
