The type of effects you're referring to are called "invisible effects", and they've covered a lot of the more well-known ones already throughout the series (the digital face replacement in Logan, the baby in Children of Men, the Fellowship running across the bridge in Moria, as well as general backgrounds and vehicles in most wide shots in blockbusters that are too numerous to cover individually, but have been shown in montage during episodes), so it might be tough for them to put together a whole episode on it. There's definitely a lot of them out there, but they're tough to suss out, because... they're invisible. You have to know they're there to know they're there, and most of the ones we know about, they've covered already. But if they cull together inside info from all the vfx contacts they have in the industry, they could put together a good episode of things like when Kelly revealed the brick in No Way Home was originally a snow-globe. Maybe they should just grab one or two invisible effect nuggets from each guest they have, then put them all together in an episode once they have like ten of them or something.

My most recent modern “mind blown” effect shot was from Rogue One. No, not Tarkin. (Well yes Tarkin, the effect seems dated now but it was amazing in 2015. And besides, it’s been discussed everywhere at great lengths.) No, the other great effect shot was the destruction of Jedah City. Invoking the four elements, up to that point and even after, I’ve seen amazing effects shots of water, fire, and air. But this was the most amazing effect shot of earth I’ve ever seen, the way the earth roiled and reacted to the low power Death Star blast. That was truly mind blowing.

Really? I saw it in theaters and remembered thinking Tarkin (and Leia) didn't look right even then. It wasn't really good at the time either, it's just that now we have so many examples of that kind of de-aging and/or resurrection effect being done right to compare it with, so it seems worse in comparison.

A scene that blew my mind? Well... I think that would be the plane/paratrooper scene from the start of the movie 'Overlord' from 2018. I watched that movie last year and it was really good, but the scene that blew me away completely was just the plane scene where all the soldiers gonna parachute out of all the planes while they're getting shot at by Axis Anti-Air turrets. It was visually stunning and also gripping, I was at the edge of my seat holding my breath the whole time. Please check it out.

When he mentioned about the shadows on the boat going in different directions as the camera tracked back, it made me think that perhaps in the render, the "sun" was simply a spherical light not set at the distance of where the sun is, but rather somewhere much, much closer to the Titanic. Which, if it was, say off to the left of the ship but like just, say 500 meters away, it makes sense that the rays of the light hitting the boat and thus creating shadows would all radiate in different directions, and hence at such a change in angles as you get to around the back of the boat. Know what i mean?

I love how accurate the Doc Ock Revel scene is because it's on the Alexander Hamiliton bridge/US1 (over the Harlem River and Major Deegan express way), leading away from the GWB. I've been through that area _so many times_ in my life, it's like it was practically filmed in my neighborhood. Even the traffic is accurate, but it's certainly a lot cleaner than usual.

*Little Shop Of Horrors 1986.* I was a kid when I first saw this movie, and the scene when the plant first grows on-screen (time stamp 20:30 - 20:58) blew my mind. At the time, I was convinced they pulled it off practically, but now I know it had to be, at least, partially composited. It's understated and underrated, but considering how such effects were achieved back then, it's still one of the most seamless and convincing shots I've ever seen. It's one of the many reasons it's still one of my favorite movies of all time. The whole movie is a really good example of old-school Hollywood filmmaking, and the puppetry of Audry II, from beginning to spectacular end, is an astounding achievement of bringing an inanimate object convincingly to life with more character than a lot of films are even able to achieve today.

One effect that blew my mind and my dad's mind was in 2007's Transformers, when Blackout first transformed before beginning his attack on the Qatar military base. That whole film was full of transforming scenes that just made our eyes widen. Even by today's standards, some of those shots still look so convincing. It's incredible how much detail was put into the robots' bodies and how they interacted with their surrounding environments. My dad's a hard person to impress with movies. Regardless of the genre, he's just not the kind of guy to be wowed easily and he was never a Transformers fan (I was only a casual fan, having watched some of the cartoons growing up). But his reactions to this particular movie were priceless.

OK, so one shot that totally blew me away when I first saw it and still blows me away now is from Fellowship of the Ring. It's where Gandalf is imprisoned on the top of the Tower of Orthanc, whispers to a moth to ask it to send him aid, and then the camera drops off the tower, flying straight down into a cavern below the ground where an orc is smithing a sword. The compositing work to marry a bluescreen actor plate into into one seamless move in a movie from *2001* still boggles my mind!

I missed out on it entirely. When it came out I just asked why? That was one movie I knew how it would end. The ship sank and a lot of people died. Why would I watch a movie about that? Yea, not really big on the love story and all that. However I did read a lot about how they shot the ship and built the set. That was more interesting to me than a movie where I knew how it would end.

@@vipset87 I could have sworn I answered this already, but as I can't see the comment I'll try again... Superhero movies is something very different. They are all fantasies and while we know most of whom have plot armor and that in the end the heroes will eventually win we have no idea what will happen in between. And they usually have cool special effects, action, humor and no relevance what so ever for the real world. Bond is slapstick with a veneer of action mystery and fun gadgets. These are movies I can watch and feel good after. I knew too much about Titanic to be interested in seeing a movie about it that was all about making me have feelings for people just to see them suffer. I would have been more interested in a movie about it's construction than about the catastrophe. Thing is there have been a lot of theories about what went wrong for the "unsinkable" ship to be sunk on it's maiden voyage. And as always when there's a lot of theories only one can be right. Even today after the wreck was found we still don't know exactly what went wrong. And being a Hollywood production there's very little chance this would be shown in a very realistic way. And here realism is important as it is a historical event, and something Hollywood usually sucks at.

Effects that blew my mind: The kitchen scene in Fight Club, with extreme closeup, then pull-back and explosion. In fact all of the CG stuff in that film - like the opening titles: absolutely fascinating how they did that. I was building a raytracer at the time for fun, learning about casting rays through simulated lenses to achieve better results, jittering rays in time and space to achieve motion blur; and 'full' GI algorithms. Then I saw a making-of doc, and realised there was way more CG than I thought.

My mind was blown in The Matrix Revolutions when the giant drill broke through the roof and all those drones started flooding in, and then being shot into pieces with a metric partyload of high caliber cannon fire. That was killer combination of swarm and destruction simulation (or an unearthly level of manual labor). Either way, it was kind of awesome.

That was a amazing scene although I think it looks way more complicated than it is as there are so many things happening at once. If you put a few robots/creatures with multiple tentacles that are moving its hard to see every movement already, so when so many things happen at once you dont need to animate every detail as most things are to hard to see.

I remember Adam Savage talking about building the big central crane in the docks. It ends up being demolished, blown to bits in an explosion if I remember correctly. He mentioned the time he put into that crane and how he rigged it with motors so it could turn. When he showed that to his coworkers they were very quick to inform him that the Wachowski brothers (I think this was before they went through their gender change) could not be allowed to see this. If they learned that the crane was articulated they would demand the entire scene was reimaged to incorporate this and they had already exceeded the budget allotted for the scene. It was in a video on Adams YT channel, Adam Savage's Tested.

@@blahorgaslisk7763 Thanks for the reminder, and I remember that episode now, but that was about the crane. My original post was referring to the part where the drone swarm came through the hole left behind by the drill and all the gunfire being directed at them. THAT was most certainly not practical, and I want to see how those swarm simulations and destruction simulations worked at that time (movie released in 2003, so the simulation had to be developed before then). There were so many drones and so many being destroyed that it couldn't have been done by hand, I wouldn't think.

The coolest VFX shots I've seen were mostly explosions: the tower of Barad-Dur crumble and blow in Return of the King, and the inverted mountain blast from Solo: A Star Wars Story. Both were creative enough to be super memorable, and also serve an important moment in both stories. Favourite VFX of all time though has to be Davy Jones in Pirates 2 and 3, but cool explosions with meaning behind them are the most satisfying to watch. Love the show, guys!

True story - worked on ID4 at POP Film. We had one week left to deliver the final shots and someone realized no one had shot an element of the “gun” under the mother ship exploding when Randy Quaid’s jet hit it. The compositor working on the shot came up with an incredible idea… If you slow it down, you can see that the explosion is the Empire State Building blowing up - just turned upside-down. It’s incredible the ingenuity that can happen when you’re under the gun. Thought you’d enjoy that since it was one of your favorite shots.
