Thanks for watching er'body! If you want to watch this entire show from the beginning you can do that here ► kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZqHpa6W1Mu-mJ8.html

I watched Night at the Museum again with my family recently, and I was surprised with how well the VFX hold up, there are several places where I’m not sure how much of what I’m seeing is CGI and how much is real. Could you take a look?

I'd love a whole episode on "hidden effects", talking all about CGI used in movies and TV that you wouldn't expect. We all know there's a ton of CG in Dune, Harry Potter, LOTR, etc., but there's also a ton of VFX used in shows like Shameless or Ted Lasso that you wouldn't expect.

We need the lead VFX artists from EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE on the couch! That entire movie had a grand total of 7 people make up their VFX team with over 600+ shots. Would be great to see you guys chat with them on their workflow and process, from my understanding a lot of them are self taught.

Under The Skin with Scarlet Johansson has some pretty interesting and creepy shots that are worth looking at. The shots of people walking into a dark liquid and decaying, the way they filmed her stalking men in a van, the VFX shots towards the end.

Please look into the effects and stunts from Everything Everywhere All at Once! That movie was not only incredible, but had some incredible visuals and stunts! Would love to see you guys break it down!

How about a "VFX Artists try to recreate CGI they've reacted to?" I would love to see you attempt some of these effects in this series.

This is one of the best selection of videos for you guys to react to in a long time. Amazing to watch!

You should look at the Uncharted Plane scene, because it seems so flat and plasticky, because of the lighting I think

YES!!!!! FINALLY TENET!!! Please do a stunt one on it next!

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’ve seen tenet upwards of 10 times now, and it’s a fantastic concept!! There are still a lot of things that I have questions about-I think I get a few questions answers and yet gain a few more every time I watch.

Please look at more of The Expanse, particularly some of the ship-to-ship combat sequences. The way they capture speed and scale is breathtaking.

Great movie from the 80’s that blew my mind as a kid, “Innerspace”. The practical effects were jaw dropping and mostly stand up to this day. Would love to see you guys break that one down. Awesome video’s, you guys rock!!

OMG , he mentioned Star Guitar. That video is so fun to watch once you realize all the landscape details represent different sounds/ instruments. LOVE!

The reflections on the floor in the Shatterdome reveal from Pacific Rim. I found myself stumped with how complex the reflections are of what is definitely a CGI intensive shot.

Wren's distress and confusion throughout this episode is me every day.

You guys should do a David fincher special episode. He is one of the few directors who best knows how to use seamless VFX shots.

My daughter (pre school age) was watching Ella Enchanted the other day and the book she carries caught my eye with the face in it that is tracked incredibly well and I assume facial video superimposed. It also has reflections off the transparent cover etc. Would love to get your take on it.

My favourite line from this video. Wren: "I'm alive today, that's great". He's a cool, grateful and optimistic guy. Great video, dudes, great video. Very insightful and very interesting. 😎👍

I just watched Turning Red and loved there expressions in animation. And the amount of details they put up is UNREAL like a subtle shake on Abby's face everytime she gets excited haha

Y’all should check out “Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole”, made in 2010, and still one of the most gorgeous animated movies I’ve ever seem. It’s just so visually pleasing.

Just watched "The Adam Project" last weekend and thought it might be a good one to go through for vfx. Some good, some wonky.

I'd love to see more episodes about practical effects. Especially in older movies.

I feel personally attacked when Sam called "David" out for not being a subscriber. (even though I have been since 2011 lol)

VFX Artists react to great and bad Battle CGI could make an interesting episode. Huge scale battles can be something that’s either done seamlessly or something that turns into a difficult to follow CGI nightmare.

I'm watching currently "The Invisible Man" (2020), and I'd like to see you guys react to it - I'd like to see what you guys think about the effects and how they were done. I'm most excited about the paint on the ladder scene, but, really, any seen involving the invisible guy would be cool.

finally boys, we've reached the 69th episode of vfx artists react. can't wait for the 420th episode

For the next Animators React I would love to hear how they made Arcane look so good. Especially considering they put out 9 hours of show on a budget of less than a 90 minuet Pixar film. Thanks guys.

I would love to see an episode that is just “FX that have held up way better than expected”.

I would love to see a "most unsettling" VFX challenge, I think that would be pretty interesting

I've been loving the vfx shots in Superman and Lois season 2! It's a TV show too, where times constraints are larger, so I'm especially excited about how flawless it all looks!!!

Wow, I'm always surprised by the behind the scenes footage included in these videos. That TENET stunt choreography is awesome.

The Adam Project has an extremely nasty de-aging effect on the character Sorian (played by Catherine Keener) that looked so uncanny to me. Would love to hear y'all break it down!

Love you guys! Thanks for de Gondry material!!!!!

Talk more about foundation!! The space elevator falling is incredible, as well as just an absurd number of other parts of the show. Great episode as always

You’ve looked at lotr, Harry Potter, pirates, marvel and parts of DC. I’d think it would be awesome if you did a episode or two on Batman. The stunt work as well as the effects from the last 30+ years I think would be fascinating

I really want them to look at Disney's Dinosaur. The effects are mind blowing for 2000, and they did a great job combining photo real dinosaurs with practical backgrounds

I really hope you guys have watched the foundation by now. I think it’s the best VFX on a show I’ve seen in a long time. I feel like no scene is ever going to feel aged. It’s phenomenal.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Is Not only a tearjerker in my opinion, but the effects and the way they execute everything is brilliant. Easily in my top 10 favorite movies.

Ok, reversing the stock footage at 5:33 was a beautiful touch!

I've actually genuinely been putting a lot of thought into recommendations for you guys since you started this series and here's what I've come up with: Fractals. What am I talking about? Computer-generated landscapes using fractal technology. Famously that's what they used in 'Genesis Simulation' sequence in Star Trek II and it was groundbreaking. But I loved the episode you guys have done where you've attempted to recreate 'classical' CGI using modern technology and it just seems like a great challenge. Can you recreate the incredible fractal landscape from Star Trek II using modern software? Other points of interest aren't movies but Rescue of Fractalis and Lair both used fractal processing under the hood in ways that were extremely impressive for their time. Don't need nothing but a hearty thank you. Also I just love when you look at old analog effects so would love to see you talk about good and bad matte painting over the years, maybe Dykstraflex & computer-controlled multipass miniatures filming in general, or a "retro" episode with like pre-70s effects movies like Fantastic Voyage, Forbidden Planet, Journey to the Centre of the Earth & War of the Worlds. I think everyone talks about (the very awesome) Ray Harryhausen but I think it over shadows some other optical achievements of that time. Or the silent films of Fritz Lang (his german films are basically all effects heavy science fiction or fantasy) especially the launch sequence in Frau im Mond. Peace

The tv show: Legion episode 1, some really cool special effects! Would like to see if you guys think if some of them are put back in after or practical. Especially the scene at 27:25.

You have to take a look at the 1955 movie "A journey to the beginning of time" from the Czech director Karel Zeman. For its time, it has one of the most groundbreaking VFX. You should make a whole episode about this guy, he made a ton of Jules Verne inspired films. It is even available with English subtitles on Netflix.

The impossible camera moves in "What Lies Beneath" are worth checking out. They're so subtle, and then you go "wait, did we just move through the floor? Through the wall? What the hell?"

The *last agni kai fight from ATLA* would be perfect for for the Animators React. It's so stunning! For the VFX series you gotta react to *Aslan from the Chronicles of Narnia!* Also at the end of second one there's a big water creature, so it might be cool to see what you think about that. Maybe also, Max Schneider's Gibberish music video, the editing kinda breaks my brain there. And for stuntmen react It would be cool to see you react to the duel from "Potop", it's really good sword fight (tho technically it's sabers i think)

I watched Foundation because of this episode. It was on my list since this came out and I watched it last month. Really love that show. That sci-fi is right up my alley.

Just watched Fantastic Beasts 3 and the scene between Dumbledore and Creedance is insane. Plus the shot with the wizard being banished into the wall and his release was really good. Probably more that I missed but these stood out to me.

The fact that 69th episode came out almost on April Fools makes this real nice

The NeverEnding Story! 80s film with some super crazy effects (that still hold up pretty well)

So I've been loving the channel for a couple months now, and since you're asking for things to look at, I have one: Fritz Lang's "Metropolis", 1927: I think you'll love the film, but I'd love to hear your impressions of effects from almost a century ago.

The last episode of the last season of Snowpiercer has a really good shot of a train almost derailing during a blizzard. Pretty cool

The Riddick movies might be worth a look, I suspect there's a surprising blend of practical and CG in some of the alien and dog character interactions.

I’d love to see you guys talk about the stunt work in Tenet on the Stuntmen react part of this show. I reckon hearing their process could be really cool

Would love to see ya'll take a look at some of the VFX behind the daniels music videos and movies, the directors behind Swiss Army Man, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Turn Down for What and much more. They have a very interesting, fun, and often less-than-seamless approach to vfx that's just mesmerizing.

You guys should do some of the oat studies vfx, I’m only two episodes in but I’m already blown away by how grounded it all feels

I love that you guys finally looked deeper into Eternal Sunshine. One of the best movies of all time. There’s so many more shots in that film that could use a deep dive. And all of that was done in the year 2004! Crazy. Wren, you gotta watch the whole movie. You won’t be disappointed.

The reversed footage at 5:34 right after y'all finished talking about Tenet was wonderful.

bro wait I am subscribed! lmao I was freaking out for a good minute

Would love to see you guys do a full break down of the Fan Film “Batman: Dead End”. Still one of the coolest fan made crossovers ever done and still holds up despite time. I remember hearing the tales of people lining up at cons to experience multiple viewings of it. Would be great to see you guys break down the shots and old school effects as well as the stunts involved

Great to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind on here! One of my favorite movies and just a great story, concept, and trippy style!

😁extremly happy to see my work over here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol, you caught me! I wasn't subscribed. But I am now!! Thanks for this great content.

I would love to see you guys talk about the evolution of VFX from Star Trek TNG to Voyager. It was an era where we pretty much had a continuous run of Star Trek shows. If nothing else check out the series premiere of each one

Some suggestions: Can you please do The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe. I knows it's basic CGI but for 2005 they still hold up pretty well when compared to things like the new Lion King. You could react to great CGI from fellow KZfaqrs. Or you could react to video game graphics such as that shown during previews of the game and what actually gets released *cough cough* Aliens: Colonial Marines :)

Star Guitar blew me away as a teen and also got me started in VFX!

It would be awesome to see you look at some video game CGI/mocap stuff and compare the strategies used to make it with traditional film techniques

I watched "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" at 2 am one time. It absolutely broke me emotionally that I had an insane existential crisis the following week. The movie is an absolute masterpiece and should be considered one of the greatest story told movies of all time.

5:39 I can't tell you how freaky that felt. I've been subbed since the beginning tho I promise 😭

Can't remember if it's been looked at on the show before, but I recently watched Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, and the VFX in the forest chase sequence still gets me

More Foundation! The drives and warping of the space ships are amazing in this series.

I'm still recommending looking into the VFX of Zathura a space adventure. Lots of good practical effects mixed with CGI.

Wren, you need to see Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind as soon as possible. I think a lot of people would agree that it's one of the best movies of the 21st century. It combines cool concepts with amazing visuals and a story that actually matters.

You guys should react with the people who did the effects for Everything Everywhere All At Once. Basically a team of 5 did 500 VFX shots for a movie about jumping through different universes. They just did as much with as little as possible, feels like a perfect react for you guys to do.

The concert scene in Bohemian Rhapsody seems to have lots of VFX shots beyond just the crowd. Have a look at full live aid scene in movie. The reflection in piano. Camera track through his legs etc.

Did you guys ever talk about Armageddon? There are some pretty cool shots in that!

the future, "spaceship" sequences in The Fountain have some incredible FX work. Pretty sure it was all practical elements composited together, combining microscopic footage and such...

Great episode you guys!!!!! Eternal Sunshine is an outstanding movie. PS: apparently KZfaq never heard of "FAIR USE"

Michel Gondry is such a creative and particular director. I love his video for "Come Into My World", but his video for "Sugar Water" by Cibo Matto is so simple looking, but so precise.

I'd love to see The Fountain be done. I love the special effects

A Korean Movie/K Drama focused episode similar to your Bollywood episodes in the future. So much great content coming from them that would be great for a CG or Stunt People react. Sweet Home, All of us are Dead, Hellbound, Kingdom. And many more.

I hope you guys finish your lord of the rings series you started, I’m sure a lot of people, including myself, would love to see you talk about those movies more. I rewatched all of them recently and there’s so much in there for you guys to look at!

"Jumper", "I am Number 4" and "Zoom's Academy for super heroes" those were my childhood and also have some fun VFX shots

This was a NICE episode

I’d love to see you guys react to the CG trailers for the game Star Wars The Old Republic. They recently reuploaded a ton of them in 4K, so I’d love to see you guys react to those!

I'm curious about hardcore henry- did they need a bunch of effects for the 1st person aspect? Or was it relatively easy

Need to see more Eternal Sunshine! So many great shots in that movie. Jim Carrey seeing himself in the office is so fun.

Would love to see a breakdown of the tricks used in The Green Knight - which I understand to be borrowing from the good ol’ days of VFX

Would be fun to see them react to Halo 2 Anniversary’s cutscenes

I recommend lost in space. I just love the robot and the environmental shots they did

one of, if not, my favorite movie of all time, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind! it helped me the most in studying filmmaking and it still does. i'm never a fanboy of some proberty or movies or whatever, but this movie comes pretty close. i have one of the props that Mary Svevo (Kirsten Dunst) was holding when Joel Barish (Jim Carrey) first visited Lacuna Inc, one of the envelopes she was holding and i also have steelbook bluray that is quite expensive. the movie is not talked about enough, in my opinion.

I would love to see you guys break down some of the VFX in Annihilation. It's one of my favorite movies, and the VFX look beautiful (at least to me)

I'd like to see a series based on Nolan's cinematography itself . Would really love to see your reactions and opinions on his masterpieces

I would love to hear what you have to say about stallone's de-aging effects in grudge match, that was made cheap in a time that tecnology was still being perfected

Everything about the effects in Space Sweepers. The visual esthetic of this movie is amazing!!! I think it's one of the best scifi movies I have seen in a few years.

Wren's face while watching the Tenet clips describes how I felt watching the whole movie. Although, I made the mistake of watching it while drinking a few homemade wee heavy Scotch ales, but I doubt the experience would have been better sober.

Wired posted a video today explaing how they made a "reality jump" in the movie "Everything everywhere all at once" with very simple means. Thought you might enjoy it. Cheers!

I just love that Wren kept having brain freezes!!! And all without eating anything cold! :D Great video and awesome breakdown!!! I LOVE IT!!!

I would love to see a video on where CG should have been used vs when it shouldn’t have for a practical alternative. And not because of the story or a cheesy moment but purely for the best visual result.

1:30 reminds me of the making of the MuteMath music video for "Typical"
