You know it gets real when Wren stays quiet for several minutes of the video.
@FORTYozSTEAK Yes, for reference. big difference. you dont use actual real footage of tragedy to make your movie
Poor Wren. Guy was hyped for that movie and I think this really took the wind out of his sails.
@FORTYozSTEAK No they don't. Films haven't used really war footage for very long time.
I think the difference is, is that footage of war in a movie about the war makes sense. But they're taking rememberable footage that was all over the news and putting it in a movie that doesn't seem to have anything to do with it. I can understand why it gives off an uncomfortable vibe.
@FORTYozSTEAK You see, movies make dramatic reenactments of tragic events. They don't take the real footage of people dying and losing everything and put that into their movie.
At the end of the day, the actors in the movies get to go home. (Ideally) In this, they're showing an event where people are literally dying in the footage.
There's a massive difference there.
Funny I actually worked on Beauty of the Beast and coordinated that shot in VFX at Framestore. The BG is a plate, the whole kitchen was actually a set (so foam was real) and we just added Mrs Pott. Good old memories! Thanks for revisiting this!!
that's awesome!!
I really hope they see this comment!
sounds like you need to drop by and sit on the couch.
I was certain that the foam was real. I mean it would take days to simulate and render the whole thing. Why not just shoot the real thing?!
Hi, and thank you for approaching the Beirut explosion the way you did. I like the sensitivity you talked about it. Actually I did shoot that footage and I am quite shocked that the filmmakers used my footage for this purpose.
Just saw your vids in your channel. I’m so relieved to know you’re okay after capturing what happened in Beirut
How much did you make from that footage back then? Also do you want money from hollywood for that now?
@TV DeranaI mean he should be compansated. His video wasn't a "reference" it's literally in a Hollywood movie except with some random buildings drawn on top of it
Yeah its really insensitive. I guess Hollywood will do whatever that want without ethics to cut corners.
@FolX273 unfortunately he can not by law, because he made his footage available publicly
Man, the whole ethics behind your explanation of the explosion effects is just another reminder that you are some solid, on point dudes. Thanks for making these videos!
personally using footage from a real event wouldnt stop me from seeing a movie. but it does give me the ick a bit. because no one goes to a movie wanting to see people actually die on screen. and who exactly did they get permission from to use that footage? they surely didn't check with all of the victims or families to see if they minded.
@Zevo there is no one in the video. the person that filmed it from their window has rights to what they filmed. i dont see an issue with what was used. never watch pre nam war movies. this reads aggressive but didnt mean it that way.
@soaphelps This is one of those cases in which it is fucked up but not specifically fucked up. How you said nobody is showed on screen, but it is clear it is a real shot of a explosion that killed a bunch of people.
And the idea that someone is profitering out of the tragedy feels fucked up.
@zevo9314 if no one pointed out that they used the pictures from beuruiet, you wouldn't know. Wren didn't relize so you wouldn't have been reminded if a real life tragedy.
@Eli Pretty sure that the people from the place where it happened would know. And would inform people.
I think this was one of the best episodes you guys have done in a long time. The poignancy of the Beirut explosion (which is vile) and then the speed stuff, MI as well this one rocks. Also more Jordan please! Loving his dynamic and takes ( maybe a 4 seater sofa is required to get Sam back 😆)
It's always fun to watch the crew try to figure out what's happening in a shot. Seeing Wren and Niko's genuine reactions from that most expensive action shot was a pleasure.
There was 218 deaths, and 7,000 injuries during Beirut explosion. Imagine using 9/11 footage in a sci-fi movie.
Poor wren man he looked like he zoned out for a while after that was discussed. He clearly is/was excited for the project and it looked like he disassociated a little. It's OK buddy it can still be a net positive creative endeavor even if some people on the team made a mistake in their judgement
I could understand if they used the footage as a reference. I mean there's not many ways you can see just what a giant explosion in a city really looks like. But to use the actual footage this way in anything but a documentary? To exploit peoples misfortune and deaths?
my hope is that something is actually brought up about the tragedy within the movie so that it's not just them using the footage but we'll see. but at the same time it created the necessary discussion which will now make people look into it so it's a double edge sword.. what happened in Beirut was pretty much ignored by the western media which was a disservice to the people effected by it.
indeed
I think that using footage from an actual tragedy in order to create a shot is in the least "sleazy". BTW I love the Mistborn shirt!
For sure. If we're lucky this will create some blow back and maybe they'll cut it from the show. Unacceptable in my opinion.
If we're going by the logic of watching a movie to 'escape from reality', then Oppenheimer or any film about 9/11, Holocaust, Tiannanmen Square, WWII or any film based on tragedy shouldn't be watched at all. Using the Beirut footage is a good way to remind everyone why religion, politics and corruption do not go together.
@ligmaballs There's a difference between making a movie _about_ a tragic event and then just using footage from that event as if it's stock footage, in a Sci-Fi movie completely unrelated to the Beirut tragedy, nonetheless. This isn't like making a movie about a war, this is like making a Star Wars film and compositing real footage of soldiers dying to use as Rebel troopers.
Im always more impressed by the practical effects. That boat scene is insane..
Too bad it was literally the only good part of the entire movie, lol
@ghoSTS 125 👻Willem Dafoe chewing on the scenery can be appreciated in retrospect, but you're right the movie's horrible.
I'll be honest I still think it looks weird like its, made of toothpicks and paper cause there's no actual building interiors that are getting turned inside out.
@Alexis Borden Yeah some of that made me think it must have been miniatures, everything was too clean and didn't look lived-in. But then the guy literally jumping out of a car and dodging the boat looked way too real and my brain broke, so I think it was worth it.
See I thought this was saying they took inspiration from that and I could see that. But when they play the trailer and I see that it’s actually the same video I just jaw dropped. And seeing Wren go silent for so long just reinforces what I was feeling.
Seeing the overlay confirmed they used the same shot.
I felt nothing because I've seen other movies use such clips out of context like when the 2007 remake of Invasion of The Body Snatchers used the STS Colombia disaster to set the movie's sci-fi story into motion.
If we're going by the logic of watching a movie to 'escape from reality', then Oppenheimer or any film about 9/11, Holocaust, Tiannanmen Square, WWII or any film based on tragedy shouldn't be watched at all. Using the Beirut footage is a good way to remind everyone why religion, politics and corruption do not go together.
For a movie not out yet the context might be completely unrelated. All the examples you mentioned were used in movies about the video footage they used from historical events. The beirut explosion is being used in a sci-fi movie that would be hard pressed to show its about the beirut government and subsequent actions that led to the explosion.
@ligmaballs There's a difference between Oppenheimer, which is non-fiction and biographical and using a real explosion, where 200 people died and 7000 were injured to prop up your sci-fi movie. This ain't no Schindler's List, bud. The footage wasn't used in order to respect or talk about the explosion, or the context or politics, it's a Disney fictional production.
For the record, "escape from reality" doesn't have to be happy or cartoonish. Watching a story unfold is escape, whether it's a tragedy or a comedy.
You have a very limited and broken view of what stories are supposed to be.
Here's a suggestion from a classic movie. There's a scene in Legend (1985) with Tom Cruise and Tim Curry. Tim Curry's character, Darkness, walks into a room through a mirror, showing both the forward movement and the reflection at the same time. It's a really cool visual effect from a time before computers were used. Plus, his makeup in the film is incredible too.
Reminds me of the shot in Airplane when the captain has to get ready at home to head to the airport.
I adore that movie, and it was so well-made, it still holds up today. I had the scene in my head the moment you mentioned the mirror.
I'm glad you guys covered that. I wouldn't have ever known otherwise, and you're right about it. It's grotesque that they used that footage.
But they still used it as clickbait for profit sooooo
That Seymour Hoffman joke was fire! So glad to see some of the MI flicks covered!
It was so smooth that I was a full beat behind catching it 😅
It was awesome.
Had to pause and come down here to share my appreciation for Jordan's Seymour Hoffman joke.
No sweetie that was Phillip Seymour Hoffman. ☺
Perfect delivery 😂
I love how wren called Emma Watson “hermione” this felt so real to me because I do this all the time. Lol
We saw her, grows up so of course
With that speed 2 clip, the tin roofing is to me the strongest visual evidence of it being full scale. The sheets bent and twisted and fell in ways that I don't know how you would do with miniatures.
Really thin-cut aluminum foil might act similarly, but sourcing, folding and painting it just to break to bits in a scale miniature would be pretty ludicrous.
@VariantAECoh there’s people who’ll do it that’s for sure
I'm liking seeing more Jordan in your videos hes got a great energy 😊
Absolutely respect the absolute integrity of you guys. It takes principle to call it out.
Thank You
Man, Im glad you guys did speed 2!
Even though the movie wasn't well received I loved it as a kid and that end sequence really sparked my interested in film making and sfx.
Really cool to see it again and how it was done after all these years.
The stunts in that movie were insane. The rest was terrible, but the boat scene and the final explosion? Those were gorgeous.
Wren being deadly quiet throughout the Beirut discussion. I think that spoke more words than the actual chat.
How did you interpret his silence?
I was going to say the same thing. He was so quiet.
@Gerhard Ebenhart Honestly he seemed a bit hurt by what he was seeing. But he was bracketed by two well-spoken people. There was nothing he needed to add because they really nailed it.
@thenewgray I think you're projecting a lot onto a dude that said nothing.
Left me speechless too...
With Sam & Niko, Wren becomes a kid but when Jordan comes in Wren becomes Elder brother, A little calm and more composed
“Two stunt people died” Jordan has great comedic timing.
You guys should react to the final episode of Secret Invasion, there haven't been bad CGI on the VFX Artists Reacts series for a while.
The section about the soap bubbles, I can relate to it. As a 3D artist myself, I've ran many simulations, and I can tell you that the bubble simulation, if you add photorealism rendering to the mix, is one the most computationally taxing simulation. And if you add photorealism rendering to the mix, I have to agree, I thinking that shot is a real shot. It's just easier to actually shoot .
The Director just did a Reddit Q&A and answered the Question about Beirut controversy : “It was never meant to be included in the trailer and never appears in the actual movie. Just by way of explanation: the reality is that archival footage is commonly used as reference for temporary VFX.”
This was the best CGI artist react episode so far!
Just saw mission impossible tonight. It was fantastic.
Was funny just enough, great action sequences, good plotting, great scenery from all over the world.
So I'm not sure if you guys have reacted to this before but if you haven't, I'd love if y'all could talk about that one werewolf transformation scene in Micheal Jackson's thriller music video. Till this day it's still terrifying to watch cuz of how raw and painful it looks, I'd like to hear you guys thoughts on it.
Fun story, the ship used for filming in Speed 2 is still an operational cruise ship, now operated by Windstar Cruises as the Star Legend. Took a cruise to Alaska on her in 2019 XD
It's really cool to see these amazingly talented vfx artists geek out over good and bad CGI. I love seeing people be passionate about their work and special interests. I also love that they explain, with their experience, how they think the scene was done. It makes me appreciate the art and the artists so much more when I know how behind the scenes things are done. Btw loved that 'see-more' Hoffman joke. Killed me.
Literally started laughing out loud when he said $25M dollars for that stunt. The idea of him barely wanting to do the movie but still making the studio spend that much on a single stunt. Brilliant
Indeed. I could see his thought process be something like, I do not want to do the movie but since I HAVE to might as well as have some fun at their expense. Lets destroy something expensive and awesome!
Okay, I don't want to do this bullshit, so I'm going to say this scene is gonna cost 25 million, they will say no, then they will cancel the movie and everything is gonna be all right.... Wait, what did you mean by "they approved the scene"?!
r/MaliciousCompliance
I get the feeling that is exactly why he did it.
While I totally agree with corridor crew, I wonder what their comments on the original star wars using world war II footage for tie fighter scenes would be. Its not the original footage ofc. but again its from a war where people actually died. Again its a total different situation I know but I would be interested in hearing their viewpoint.
The foam bubbles reminds me of the one time they were fixated on a twig snapping in the Snyder Cut for Justice League. This show always makes me so happy.
That Speed 2 stunt was incredible
Wow. That Speed 2 sequence is unreal. I had no idea.
When explaining the Speed 2 scene I was waiting for Jordan to say “well, you remember that tragic cruise boat accident in 1993?”
I’ve been waiting for them to react to the first Narnia movie. It has great CGI for the time
I appreciated the discussion of the ethics of using the beirut footage.
Well this is eddit version for youtube Il have to see the full video, but I think they did their best cause as filmaker and vfx artist they don't want to put them on full blast for doing it, one of the best things about their reaction is that they always critique without being malicious cause they have the inside perspective.
Too bad they’re also exploiting the footage in their own thumbnail
@Aloys van Outersterp spreading information is not exploitative, e.g. i don't use reddit or social networks so i would never heard of that unless someone i watch on yt would share
Such cry babies...
14:37 I watched Speed on TV countless times growing up, but I never heard of Speed 2 🤯 That shipwreck stunt is CRAZY
Thank you for shedding some focus on Speed 2. By no stretch a good movie, but it’s a fun one and not as bad as history dictates.
I really want them to do Once upon a time vfx
that was hands down the best subscribe and bell hit bump I've ever seen you guys do. And I've legit watched every single vfx/stunt/animation etc react
Kudos to you guys for your commentary on that tragedy
Well, you can be butthurt or say that at least something good came out of the tragedy... I'd be much happier if the cause of my death was used in a movie than forgotten and never seen, especially if it was reminding people of the corruption and negligence that led to that tragedy so it can prevent more things like that in the future...
It would be really bad and unethical if my particular face was seen there and it was me or someone I know dying in a close-up, but this? Nah, people are just searching for the cons without considering the pros to shame someone to feel better about themselves and their morals...
(not saying that controversies shouldn't be discussed, quite the opposite, just adding my perspective to the discussion)
Jordan was in top form in this episode. Great comedic timing throughout. Time for a raise
Ok Jordan, get this fake account out here. We know it's you!
@Alisson Alves de Araújo I was just about to say something similar.
You should bring the 2011 tin tin movie. It's a very underrated movie. For a 2011 film it still has great CGI.
I can always appreciate silly instrument covers when companies are overly strict with the original music, nowadays it reminds me of Trombone Champ and all the custom charts people kept making (and probably still do).
I'm so glad you guys reacted to speed2 to that final ship crash scene I myself thought it was real but couldn't figure out if it was a real ship or just the front of it glad you cleared that up it's actually not a bad movie the ending definitely made up for it😅
9:02 The flute cover got me laughing. It was great
every time I see these vfx artist react or stunt people react videos I like going back and rewatching the movies in 4K when possible in order to see the talked about effects better vs say watching a DVD / vhs / betmax / laserdisc copy of the film.
Would love to see you guys do another History of VFX in movies by decades where we can see how technology has allowed us to for the most part do it better then using optical / practical effects. That being said you could also poke fun at how poorly cgi has been done or was over used to creat a movie.
Like the changes in Photoshop 1 to Modern era Photoshop. going from a early silicon graphics workstations to a modern day gaming computer / workstaion to cloud based render farm.
That See More Hoffman joke was the greatest line in corridor history.
They were cruising along and then everything ground to a halt. Loved it.
don't get it
@Gambello The actor's name is Philip Seymour Hoffman.
@ODekaKi know the actor’s name, but what does “seeing more Hoffman “ means?
@Víctor Mendoza The joke has to do with “see more” sounding like Seymour.
I just watched Renfield today and there was a crazy great scene where Dracula was half regenerated after getting cooked by the sun where its gotta be a practical/ CGI blend. either way I couldn't tell what i was looking at
Just watched season 1 ep 11 of House. There's a moment when a needle goes into an eye ball. Y'all should really check out some of the vfx of House. Some of them are pretty impressive especially for early 2000's
God, I love Wren's shirt. It's art.
That Speed 2 sequence is the very definition of 'absolutely bananas'. Think ol' Gus just thought "screw it, if I've *got* to make this movie, I'm going to have a field day with the budget."
There’s some shots in the Twisted Metal series that I think could be interesting. I think they use the budget they have pretty well to make the world seem bigger than it actually is. But I’m curious about a lot of the compositing and how many of the cars and weapons are CGI enhanced or practical.
I live in Beirut and survived the August 4 blast. Thank you for pointing this out boys ❤️🫡
Same
Glad you're alright. Got a good friend out there that wasn't far from it and was lucky to survive also.
@netkosent1620 thank God for that honestly
As someone who lived through it, how do you feel about this footage being used like this?
@Mathew Jonesi don’t care, I mean it’s already over the whole internet anyways so why not use it for better effects
I believe it's essential to encourage open discussions on topics like these. Additionally, I sense that this practice isn't uncommon. Studios have employed similar techniques in the past, albeit sometimes more overtly. For example, 'Dawn of the Dead' in 2004 used actual news reels from tragic events, 'District 9' in 2009 incorporated real footage of gang violence and riots, and 'The Mothman Prophecies' in 2002 featured real footage of a bridge collapsing, resulting in 49 casualties. 'Battle: Los Angeles,' one of my favorite sci-fi movies, also integrated real footage of military operations. That being said, I believe that while they utilized real footage, they made significant alterations, which sets them apart from the previously mentioned examples. Nevertheless, it's crucial to acknowledge that people may have varying sensitivities to such content, and not everyone may be comfortable with it. Respecting everyone's perspective is important in these discussions.
I love the A Christmas Story reference in the subscribe message. The stuck tongue effect in that scene was genius! 💜
I am from St. Maarten and I remember them filming Speed 2 on the French part of the island and yes, the sets were built to real scale.
Way to bring a good one to the couch, Jordan!
Would love to see you guys react to the effects from Idiocracy like the great garbage avalanche
The Beirut scene reminds me that they used actual news footage of the aftermath of the Oklahoma City bombing at the beginning of the first X-Files movie. Like not even overlaying a cg building. They had an office building blow up and collapse and the footage after the collapse is the actual footage of the federal building. I remember my parents getting upset that they did that.
It's the kind of thing that I have to imagine will age "well" in the sense that people will forget about the source over time and distance, and will therefore not be taken out of the movie when it happens. Personally, I'm more bothered with how bad the rest of the explosions in that trailer were, not even remotely trying to match the reality of Beirut. It's doubly insulting, at least.
The weird thing is IF you're going to commit to using real footage, why put in the trailer?! Much smaller odds it's noticed in theater and by that point, you've already made your money off ticket sales. Using it as inspiration (for lack of a better word) I don't have a problem with, but CGI on the real footage... yikes. Only exception would be if you somehow got the people who lived there to vote on it and they could benefit from it, but that's pretty much impossible.
@SnifferSock true if i had seen it in the theater i might have thought. hey that looked formiliar and moved on and stopped thinking about it as the movie went on. someone might have noticed afterwards and made the connection but now it might deter people from seeing the movie to begin with.
It does feel like the filmmakers were being lazy rather than intentionally upsetting people.
@SnifferSockreference is the word you're looking for
Love the philosophical approach to filmmaking. What you want to achieve, what's desirable and brings joy and what doesn't. Makes you think about why you are doing VFX or filmmaking in general which is important, isn't it?
YOU GOTTA talk about Disney's Jungle Book, "Bare Necessities" scene. The water and bear animation looks AMAZING
I've never seen Speed 2, I don't want to but man that one scene was nuts. Imagine you do something on such a scale only for it to flop so hard.
The slide whistle cover honestly just made the song better.
I honestly was always amazed by that cruise ship crash. I love LOVED the first movie, and held on only for the second one because of Titanic, but that cruise ship crashing into the dock always stuck with me.
the energy in this trio is unmatched. hope we get to see more of jordan, wren, and niko together on the couch.
I wanna see a reaction to Disney's Chicken Little. It was their first 3D cartoon and wew it looks terrible for being from 2005.
I feel like the best case scenario for that Beirut footage is that its something thats only being used for the trailer.
Maybe I missed it, but a movie I'd love to see a reaction to is The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, good action and the VFX has held up decently well
Things get exploited all the time and no one says a word. On a scale of how tragic this exact footage is, I think this is fine. If there was video footage of actual death and they used that, that's a different story.
Jordan's got the best sense of humour. Dad jokes with the "two stuntmen died" darkness combo.
Dude I died
when the least harmless innocent looking one has the darkest humor 😅😅
The shots to Wren’s disapproving face at least 3 times 😂
From the realness of using a tragedy in a movie to using a slide whistle cover, this episode was a LOT of range. :O
ou know it gets real when Wren stays quiet for several minutes of the vi
Steve Ramstead did a pretty sick mission impossible mask recreation.
When you're building a simulated story and you use actual reality to tell it, but without that reality being its own referent in any way nor making that connection at all... That's beyond hyperreality.
I feel like Beauty and the Beast is one of the little be action Disney movies where photo realism actually worked.
I am half Lebanese, lived there for the majority of my life. By a draw of luck, I was in Canada when the tragic explosion happed. My sister was within the shockwave of the blast and I nearly lost her. U guys hit the nail on the head. I am all for freedom of speech and freedom of artistic expression, but this felt more like an artistic and financially exploitive shortcut. It is just in very poor taste and complete lacks the self awareness of what actually went down on that day. Always been a massive fan of you guys but actually speaking out on this makes me proud to be a long time corridor fan. Cheers fellas
...so then what do you call corridor crew making likely thousands of dollars, when including other revenue streams, on this video after including that trailer instead of some other one? 1/3rd of the video was dedicated to that trailer.... it would be perfectly valid to assert those same claims for corridor crew. If using that footage was exploitative and for financial gain, corridor crew is also exploitative and did it for financial gain. Intention really doesn't change guilt since the end product is still someone making money from a disaster.
thats totally understandable honestly, i wrote in another comment about how i didnt care but thats because it didnt affect me at all.
@Ryan ThompsonCorridor are making commentary on it. It's an entirely different use case that admonishes the people who actually chose to use the footage. C'mon, think about it for 10 seconds.
@Ryan Thompson What an absurd view. No, it is NOT "valid to assert those same claims to the Corridor Crew". They are not "exploiting" anything- they are discussing the morality and ethics of using it in the way the filmmakers did, as well as making us and other filmmakers aware that it was done. Other filmmakers watch this show, and in the comments they will get to see our discourse on the matter, and hopefully the situation will not be repeated because those filmmakers will also feel the way we do.
Have you guys even looked at the thumbnail for this video? If that doesn't scream exploitive...
I HAVE AN AMAZING SUGGESTION! The UFO crashing at the climax of the first Men in Black, on top of the fight with the bug. The blending with the fire effects when J is fighting the bug, and the UFO crashing especially are FANTASTIC to look at!
I want someone to give Nolan $50 million for ONE SCENE and see what he could come up with.
I recently watched the first three pirates of the caribbean movies again.. What do you think about the vfx? Is it worth taking a closer look?
Love your content btw! Thanks for your entertaining videos and fantastic insights 🫶🏼
I'm so hype for Rock Paper Scissors. Like seeing the new season trailer of my favorite anime!
The Speed 2 scene feels like it could be another T2 project (the T-1000 through the bars scene). Can the Crew recreate the scene in full CG, and how close can they get it looking.
I don't know why but this episode was fire. So much of laughter and chemistry between the 3 of them, energy was 💯 Loved it.
Not to mention the incredible slide whistle cover
i agree on this, so much fun.
Are we watching the same video? Beirut conversation really put a drag on the entire episode.
Uh... That is total opposite to any other episode. After the Creator Clip, it just seemed to drop and Wren barely said anything when he is usually the most energetic.
Id love to see you guys attempt a mask transition
My guess for the explosion from The Creator is someone was given the shot as reference, and just decided to use it with some CGI buildings, but no one caught in higher up
I could actually believe the tea pitcher, bubbles and everything in that particular shot being real, except the face and lid. I could totally see that being puppeteered with the face and lid added post.
I would love for you guys to react to the capsized scenes from 1972 The Poseidon Adventure and Poseidon 2006. There is a lot going on in the 2006 film that I think would be fascinating for you guys to cover.
1:33 I remember thinking about the wipes the first time I saw the movie in theaters (I think I was at a drive in theater too back then) so I was like omg lol
It was just such an impressive feat at the time I couldn't stop thinking about how they did it.
Also it is impressive when CGI and special effects shots are becoming so impressive that even VFX Artists have a really hard time telling if a shot is real or not.
"Speed 2: If you're going to force me to make it, I'm going to crash a cruise boat into a town".
I can't get enough of Jordan's sense of humor
oh you're gonna love tomorrow ("how many people can a Titan actually eat?")
Dude same, it reminds me a lot of my own. Lol
The practical effects on Tora Tora Tora were insane for their day. They crashed a plane into a hanger way before Christopher Nolan
I think a viewer on the show and try and guest if they can see if an effect was vfx or practical would be cool to see.
I feel like 60 years ago there was a lot of war footage reused in movies cause they couldn't clearly get airplanes and tanks to blow up for every movie. but it hits differently today when you lived through those events.
I'd like to see into how they do the two same actors interacting together effect. In the old days, there would be something in the foreground between them (something Michael Bay had a little joke about when he did the effect in The Island but then panned away from it to show two Ewan McGregors interacting with each other) but now it looks so good. I just saw the effect used in The Flash (not the best film, but not the worse) and be cool to see how they do that.
Man the ending of this episode was such a treat.
By a massive coincidence, I was going down a rabbit hole about the Beirut explosion last night. So I immediately recognized that footage.
Yeah ive watched it over 50 times the shot felt very familiar
fr, its a great explosion and i ceep going back to watching clips of them.
Same here, I happened to watch a multi-angle compilation video just the other day.
Me too wtf
Yeah. I immediately recognized it too. Glad I’m not the only one
Please do an 80s movie special featuring three of the greatest children’s movies of the 80s. Labyrinth, the dark crystal, and never ending story.
Awesome and interresting video again! Would be awesome if you guys would cover some of the lower frame scene's in Puss in Boots!
I just binge watched the M.I. series the other day. This episode is perfect 👌
I’m imagining Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s mask as a replacement for William Shatner’s. Think you guys could do different celebrities faces as Michael Myers mask? Which would be the creepiest? Halloween episode?
Wren felt like a more mature older wren in this video. And I actually liked it alot, felt like he took on the Sam role here haha!
