Corridor sets itself apart by their obvious enthusiasm for teaching and sharing what they have learned. It’s not just, “look what we can do!” Its, “look what we can show you how to do too!” That’s what great creators do, they help others create!
They do it to promote a paid site though. I have no issue with people enjoying these guys for their personas but it's clear that they do everything to get views and money. Hopefully they get joy out of it in the process, but the way they're usually either doing brand deals or outright steal IPs to promote their brand instead of making their own stuff from scratch doesn't really scream creativity.

@@eliassall8791 It's their job--you can't blame them for wanting to get paid. Expecting creators to do things for free is not OK. As far as the "creativity" argument goes, it really sounds like you're a little jealous at you're not out there doing awesome stuff. They make a ton of videos that have no connection to other companies' content (including this one). Also...if you don't like it, why are you here?
@@eliassall8791 you do have to realize they are running a studio, an actual production company that has the capacity to make short movies you do also realize that most production company does not make films for free you do also realize that most production company has timeline that stretch for at least a year you do also realize that most production company usually only have one or two flagship project running concurrently in economic terms, corridor digital is an impossibility, yet here they are
@@TheRainqueen333 Had it only been the case of making brand deals to make money I wouldn't have a problem. I'd probably think that it's a boring, capitalistic way of looking at an artform but if they wanted to do it for the money then it's fair game. What I have a problem with is that their whole platform and fame is built upon stealing other people's work. No one would give a shit about their shorts if they hadn't stolen so many IPs in the past without asking or even paying after the video blew up so I think it would only be fair of them to admit to that when talking about their success
@@aronseptianto8142 Yes, I do realize that and my problem isn't with the money. Sure, I think they're growing needlessly large as a business if all they wanted to do was make shorts out of creativity but to each their own. "in economic terms, corridor digital is an impossibility, yet here they are". Exactly, and do you know why it's an impossibility for most? Because most people don't steal other people's work to make money. Either outright making a short using already established IPs as the foundation or naming the video after one is not "being smart". It's disregarding the money and time others have put into making those IPs well-known in the first place. Just because you add onto it doesn't make it "transformative" and "fair use". What would happen if actual movie studios started making actual movies based on IPs they didn't own? Why would they ever buy the rights to a book if they could just make it anyways? Why wouldn't rival studios not just remake a film to be the same "but better" based on audience reviews? If you've made something of value you have to be protected from people using it as they please. Copyright is not a money thing. It's a way for creators to control in what ways their work is portrayed and to *otherwise* get payed as compensation. After gaining fame making fan films early on Corridor have realized that people don't care about their original stuff and so they keep stealing just to stay afloat. I realize they have people to pay, but if you can't make money doing something without cheating, maybe you don't deserve to make money doing it?
I'm in my 3rd year of film school, and I've learned a lot, but the way you guys broke down lighting and fundamentals was very clear and helpful in a way that I haven't considered before. You guys are amazing at your craft. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!
Why did my mind get so blown by the realization the they're called "Movies" because they move?! It makes so much sense, why have I never made the connection? It even sounds like an old timey term for moving pictures someone would have coined when it was new.
this is great stuff, even for a decades-served veteran of broadcast tv like me. nico's slightly exasperated enthusiasm, the whole "ok, I'll slow down a bit & explain, but hurry up, you guys!" is perfect teacher-voice, & the pace is right, somehow for beginners & advanced students alike. you'll find yourself going between "but of course" & "wow! did not know that!", which is the joy of any teaching situation. if someone asks me about getting into any sort of film-making, whether it involves VFX or not, "these guys". what nico & sam & the others have done in their work is make the electronics serve the greater purpose- start with an ACTUAL story, a narrative, & consider how to deliver that effectively- the choreography, the setting, the audio... the digital effects that a lot of people came here for initially are just one crew member- no more or less important than any other crew member. plan. go over the resources you have, & the ones you think you'll need. adapt. do it, make mistakes, learn from the mistakes, do it again, better. show people, & see if the reaction is what you intended.
OMG it was so unique and we can tell that you guys spent a lot of time in preproduction to make everything glu together like that. Really unique i liked it. And Niko is so completely right throughout the video. This is the video everyone should watch when they decide to shoot videos. Good job.
Literally, after two minutes into this video, I have gotten insight I didn't have from diving into video making for the past two years. "You can get a good, emotionally compelling image from any camera, but if you have a specific look in mind, not every camera is appropriate". Yes please, thank you.
Finally mustering up the courage to start a RUclips channel, and in the process recording my first video. I know next to nothing about cameras or filmmaking, but have had a DSLR building up dust for the past 5 years. I’m incredibly excited for this series and to learn from one of my favorite RUclips channels! You got yourself a student!
I have a feeling videos like these will be played in Media / Film classes. You guys have made a very indepth, well presented and easily accessible guide that would rival any film school.
Have you been to film school? Lol. This was a cool video but this is like Intro to Video and Film level stuff lol. This is like the most basic cinematography philosophy. Still really important but like not groundbreaking by any means
Ha! Saying out loud the information you are communicating! I am a web developer and when I animate slides in a carousel I always read the text in a slide in normal speaking tempo. If the slides transition while I am still speaking, the timing is too fast. It usually is too fast because that looks flashy, but you will not communicate most effectively with your audience. It is an excellent tool, great to see it in the context of timing shots. It is so interesting that we humans operate at a certain pace and working with that makes you both a better film maker and a better web developer :)
Wow, what an amazing masterclass, very surprised corridor put his up for free, this was terrific. Been a long time supporter of this channel and still blown away by the content you guys produce. An amazing in-depth analysis of filmmaking and photographic image capturing. I spent like 21k studying this stuff at university/college and never was it presented to me as such an easy to understand package. Well done, hats off guys, one day I hope to work with you guys as an image retoucher/photoshop wizard.
As a TV student I love these kinds of videos, they’re always so interesting. I love learning new things about the industry. Thanks for the great advice!
Just imagen this video as a college class with all the same elements. Jake is crashing through the door for the ad and tiny sam is chasing him out. That would be awesome. Love the great tips! Awesome video!
That zone system is very specific to creating an SDR image. Nowadays, a lot of stuff is moving to HDR color grading, and that's a whole other beast. Ideally shadows and mid tones should look fairly similar to what they would look like in SDR, but highlights should look realistically bright, which means many highlights will look far brighter than SDR allows. Things like the sun and fire and bright reflections should be VERY bright on a good HDR display (assuming doing that fits well with the visual language of the shot). Your point about not clipping highlights becomes SO much more important here. If you clip them, even those bright studio lights behind you, you won't be able to make use of the expanded dynamic range to display them accurately in HDR. There's also a wider color gamut that allows for certain highly saturated colors that couldn't even be captured by SDR technology. When grading for HDR, ideally, HDR should be done before SDR, because doing it the other way will likely result in limiting what you can do with the HDR grade afterwards and resulting in an inferior HDR image. A lot of movie studios still aren't doing this right, and the result is an HDR image that does not take advantage of the wider dynamic range of color, even when it would be completely appropriate to the cinematography to do so.
So many concepts I didn't know how to approach. Suddenly crafting a good image, and how to use my camera to convey the story has become 1000x easier to understand.
Great video! _Functional filmmaking_ is a success! Informationally dense, simple clear and demonstrative....not a single second is wasted....great guidelines for those not in the know....budget agnostic and pan genre principles for starters and experienced ones alike. And short.
Niko as an Animator I truly appreciate this knowledge it's interesting learning new things from you guys and this was taught phenomenally! Gives me alot of ideas for using my 2D camera 🙏
bro the sam opens the door stuff just blew my mind ,its like u opened a new compartment in my brain , now i visualise stuff even better , bruh u r op XD , ty
I love you guys so much. I have followed this channel for years and I have no intention of creating any kind of films-I just straight up enjoy the quality and all of your personalities. 💜👏🏻
17:35 One minor point: dynamic range is actually defined as the range between light and dark in a given scene. The range your camera actually captures is referred to as exposure latitude. So your highlights clip when the dynamic range is greater than the camera's latitude
I remember the "if the time it takes to say the sentence is faster than the actual shot, the shot is timed incorrectly" from the very first corridor crew video I watched back when it was still called Sam and Niko back in 2013 probably. I just love how this team of people have grown
This reminded me of a time I took a picture of this old piano I have at home for an art project. Everyone thought it was some professional photo I got off the internet because I learned stuff about how to get good shots and good lighting from you guys.
I'm in a film class but yet I learned more in this video then I did in 1 year of film class Edit: this was so educational I was thinking about taking notes
I am studying radiography and was surprised by how much filmmaking and x-ray imaging have in common. I knew a lot of concepts before. Really cool video, I will subscribe to the website when I am finished with my exam!
It's short for moving picture. 60 years ago, that was what they called movies/films. They were also called films later on because movies were shot using film.
These courses really helped me up my game, and I finally broke 500 subs on RUclips channel all about my favorite film: Waterworld! Thanks you for releasing the full episode!
Thank you guys. I am going to film school next year and Corridor Digital has been a HUGE influence on the stories that I want to tell and how I will tell them.
Love al the work they out into all this!! They alway keep it real and genuine and really have a passion for what they do and want to share the knowledge and experience with us. I love tbis 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm not a filmmaker, but I actually loved this since I do a lot of microscopy for work and a lot of the concepts Niko discussed here are still relevant to the cameras attached to microscopes. Some of these topics were things I sort of "instinctively developed" over the years, and he just put a name to them... but some of them are also brand new to me and something I'll have to keep in mind the next time I'm both capturing, and processing images. Short version - I loved this episode and the deep-dive into your thought process.
Thank you so much for this Corridor Ohana! Love you all so much and can't wait to see what you create next! 🎬🎥🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥 I'm learning so much from this! Aloha, Keep Believing & Creating! 🤙🏽💯
Video idea: attempt to make scenes with different cameras and different genres that are randomly chosen. Like make a moody scene with a GoPro or I crazy action film with a Dslr
My brain is boiling in serotonin! Watching a corridor crew video about filmmaking only to be intercut with an ad of a master class by Martin Scorsese! RUclips really wants me to finally study filmmaking and I’ll allow it. You guys are great!
Honestly it’s absolutely criminal that people like Niko exist and yet AAA movie companies continually drop bombs because of industry embedded processes. Like imagine if Corridor made a Fantastic Four movie.
A lot of people working on big budget movies used to be just like Niko. But once the industry gets a hold of you and bombards you with deadlines, budget cuts and constant supervision from producers and other penny-pinchers all of your creativity and enthusiasm goes out the window. The industry is the problem, not the employees.
I was confused for a second as to why I was subscribed to a crypto channel then I realized that you guys got hacked, hope you manage to get the account back as soon as possible.
@@CorridorCrew Somehow RUclips thinks your reply is older than the comment... but yeah, I agree! I'm subscribed to the site and binging all the previous content when I first joined was fun!
OMG this is just EXCACTLY what I needed 😍 I'd really like to do something with filmmaking in the future, but it's hard to find a study for it. However, with you guys dropping video's like this online, I'll finally get the chance to learn some awsome things and try to make my own creation :)
This first episode looks amazing... you guys were very smart to release the first one free on RUclips because you’re ending up getting a lot of people hooked, including me!! Pretty sure I’m gonna end up signing up just because of this course... let alone all the other perks and shows that are (and will be) coming with the subscription! I already love you guys’ videos, but everything in this is so well explained that you’ve totally sold me on the rest of the course! Well done Crew 👏
Such a great episode! Another example I think we can touch on are films like Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch... they didn't have access to the most expensive gear or a variety of lenses - so they wrote a script that works with what they had access to. Even when it came to locations. Great video guys, thanks for taking the time to create this series - you rock.
I have to say that your videos inspire me and my work a lot even if I'm not a film maker or vfx artist. I'm coming from a motion comic background but you guys help me to understand a lot more and how things are connected, how the pores strech ;) and all that stuff. Keep rocking fellas!

Niko: *builds a perfect camera*
Also Niko: "There is no such thing as a perfect camera"
Don't remeber where i read this, but:
"Perfection is a prey you can chase, but cannot catch."
thats a good one
@@rezaka116 This is a quote of a character of Bleach called Mayuri with basically the same concept. :
"The average person admires perfection and seeks to obtain it. But, what’s the point of achieving perfection? There is none. Nothing. Not a single thing. I loathe perfection! If something is perfect, then there is nothing left. There is no room for imagination. No place left for a person to gain additional knowledge or abilities. Do you know what that means? For scientists such as ourselves, perfection only brings despair. It is our job to create things more wonderful than anything before them, but never to obtain perfection. A scientist must be a person who finds ecstasy while suffering from that antimony."

if someone asks me about getting into any sort of film-making, whether it involves VFX or not, "these guys".
what nico & sam & the others have done in their work is make the electronics serve the greater purpose- start with an ACTUAL story, a narrative, & consider how to deliver that effectively- the choreography, the setting, the audio... the digital effects that a lot of people came here for initially are just one crew member- no more or less important than any other crew member.

Seriously appreciate your efforts for this, CC! This was top class
Great video! _Functional filmmaking_ is a success!
Informationally dense, simple clear and demonstrative....not a single second is wasted....great guidelines for those not in the know....budget agnostic and pan genre principles for starters and experienced ones alike. And short.
Niko as an Animator I truly appreciate this knowledge it's interesting learning new things from you guys and this was taught phenomenally! Gives me alot of ideas for using my 2D camera 🙏
bro the sam opens the door stuff just blew my mind ,its like u opened a new compartment in my brain , now i visualise stuff even better , bruh u r op XD , ty
I love you guys so much. I have followed this channel for years and I have no intention of creating any kind of films-I just straight up enjoy the quality and all of your personalities. 💜👏🏻
17:35 One minor point: dynamic range is actually defined as the range between light and dark in a given scene. The range your camera actually captures is referred to as exposure latitude. So your highlights clip when the dynamic range is greater than the camera's latitude
Dear Nico,
please, keep being the whole and awesome person you are,
many loves from Rio de janeiro!
I was about to lose hope for doing cinematography because i can't afford great cameras but then theres this guy.
I remember the "if the time it takes to say the sentence is faster than the actual shot, the shot is timed incorrectly" from the very first corridor crew video I watched back when it was still called Sam and Niko back in 2013 probably. I just love how this team of people have grown
I am very excited about this course!
Thanks for all the work on this!!
This reminded me of a time I took a picture of this old piano I have at home for an art project. Everyone thought it was some professional photo I got off the internet because I learned stuff about how to get good shots and good lighting from you guys.
I'm in a film class but yet I learned more in this video then I did in 1 year of film class
Edit: this was so educational I was thinking about taking notes
I am studying radiography and was surprised by how much filmmaking and x-ray imaging have in common. I knew a lot of concepts before.
Really cool video, I will subscribe to the website when I am finished with my exam!
"Our pictures move; movies"
I've never looked at it this way..
That's literally where the name came from. Movie is short for moving picture.
It's short for moving picture. 60 years ago, that was what they called movies/films. They were also called films later on because movies were shot using film.
That bizarre light bucket signal-to-noise analogy must've been written for you then.
In Hindi too, a movie is also called "chal-chitra", word-to-word translation of which is "moving picture".
@@VivekYadav-ds8oz damn ! I never noticed it...
This is exciting. I have been inspired by Corridor for years so I appreciate videos like this so much !!
These courses really helped me up my game, and I finally broke 500 subs on RUclips channel all about my favorite film: Waterworld! Thanks you for releasing the full episode!
Don't know why that movie was panned. I loved it! Subscribed 😁
@Code Turtle i agree
Thank you guys. I am going to film school next year and Corridor Digital has been a HUGE influence on the stories that I want to tell and how I will tell them.
Whenever Sam pops up I can't stop my laughter 😂
This channel is a gem of content. So much care put into every video
Love al the work they out into all this!! They alway keep it real and genuine and really have a passion for what they do and want to share the knowledge and experience with us. I love tbis 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This was a lot of fun! Looking forward for more of these episodes!
This video could not have came out at a better time with me!
This pilot episode is honestly a really great beginners start for camera work. Will definitely send this to the uninitiated
This feels well needed
This was absolutely phenomenal! The layman’s terms approach was extremely easy to follow especially with visual examples. I Loved this! Thank you!
The TV style overlay ads are absolutely hilarious lol
I'm not a filmmaker, but I actually loved this since I do a lot of microscopy for work and a lot of the concepts Niko discussed here are still relevant to the cameras attached to microscopes. Some of these topics were things I sort of "instinctively developed" over the years, and he just put a name to them... but some of them are also brand new to me and something I'll have to keep in mind the next time I'm both capturing, and processing images.
Short version - I loved this episode and the deep-dive into your thought process.
For VFX Artist React, could you react to The Yin Yang Master?
THIS is what people need to see and hear. Good on you guys for making it simple. Cheers. 🤘🏻
damn i miss niko just explaining thing to us. i wish for more of that
Thank you so much for this Corridor Ohana! Love you all so much and can't wait to see what you create next! 🎬🎥🙌🏽🔥🔥🔥 I'm learning so much from this! Aloha, Keep Believing & Creating! 🤙🏽💯
Video idea: attempt to make scenes with different cameras and different genres that are randomly chosen. Like make a moody scene with a GoPro or I crazy action film with a Dslr
My brain is boiling in serotonin! Watching a corridor crew video about filmmaking only to be intercut with an ad of a master class by Martin Scorsese! RUclips really wants me to finally study filmmaking and I’ll allow it.
You guys are great!
Honestly it’s absolutely criminal that people like Niko exist and yet AAA movie companies continually drop bombs because of industry embedded processes. Like imagine if Corridor made a Fantastic Four movie.
A lot of people working on big budget movies used to be just like Niko. But once the industry gets a hold of you and bombards you with deadlines, budget cuts and constant supervision from producers and other penny-pinchers all of your creativity and enthusiasm goes out the window.
The industry is the problem, not the employees.
@@TibzzTube like the government
As much as I like them, they don't have a great track record when given big budgets. Just watch Lifeline and/or Rush.
One of the best explainations I've ever seen. Compact and incredibly easy to understand!
Finally! I can make youtube videos from the late 2000's!
You asked me to subscribe in every other video, this video made me do it. Thnx lads.
I was confused for a second as to why I was subscribed to a crypto channel then I realized that you guys got hacked, hope you manage to get the account back as soon as possible.
I took a photography class last semester in college and I learned a lot. I learned as much in this 22 minutes as I did in one month of that class.
After Rocket Jump's film school and the Corridor master classes, I will be invincible
Finally. I'm so stoked for this series.
Picture in your mind if you will, the day Corridor becomes a billion dollar company.
Dudes, this was amazing. Some I knew, some I didn't, but it was done in such a way that it's entertainment & teaching. Love it.
Vfx artist react video idea " finale fantasy the spirits within 2001" love what you do keep up the good work!
Sam the troll, I love how you manage to tell a story in every single video. Even in a tutorial. Top creativity! Makes me smile. Thanks!
Clint 2 weeks ago: I need to make a movie and I can't do that here
Corridor 2 weeks later: lol
Hey dan! I just made a cool video on airplanes. I'd really appreciate it if you could check it out: ruclips.net/video/D3GADVrDVEw/видео.html
Clint was there BTS for this video. He took the info from Niko's monolog and ran off to make a movie.
that was one of the most incredible course episodes of anything i have ever seen.
God damnit they pulled a DC universe on me and now I have to subscribe to corridordigital.com to watch the rest. I mean i’m totally going to do that
Worth it! Check out the "Crew Cuts" show while you're on there, we have over 50 episodes already.
@@CorridorCrew Somehow RUclips thinks your reply is older than the comment... but yeah, I agree! I'm subscribed to the site and binging all the previous content when I first joined was fun!
Finally gonna go check out corridordigital.com this series sounds fantastic and exactly what I need right now :) you guys also deserve the support
I think this Niko character seems to know a thing or two about them cameras.
OMG this is just EXCACTLY what I needed 😍
I'd really like to do something with filmmaking in the future, but it's hard to find a study for it. However, with you guys dropping video's like this online, I'll finally get the chance to learn some awsome things and try to make my own creation :)
Okay, I NEEEEEEED to know how Niko got his curls to look so GODDAMN good while doing his talking head bits.
That's explained in the next episode lol
He blow-dries his hair while upside down
as an animator, this was full of good info. for us camera stuff is always so glossed over and just sorta forgotten about.
Sams pop ups are so funny and misleading like we r drawing attention more towards him
😂
This is super useful, I might have to join the website

@Benjamin Yeager nes
This first episode looks amazing... you guys were very smart to release the first one free on RUclips because you’re ending up getting a lot of people hooked, including me!! Pretty sure I’m gonna end up signing up just because of this course... let alone all the other perks and shows that are (and will be) coming with the subscription! I already love you guys’ videos, but everything in this is so well explained that you’ve totally sold me on the rest of the course! Well done Crew 👏
I clicked on the video, liked it, watched it, disliked, and liked it again. Thanks for the entertaining info, fellas!
some serious issues
New favorite series on RUclips!! ❤️🥰🥰
I see the comments freaking out over movies being called movies cause "moving". I thought everyone knew that lmao
This was extremely detailed and good, it really inspired me to start doing small projects again. Well done Corridor!
*Congrats to everyone who is early and who found this comment*
shut up
@@ddlakes no u
This gave me hardcore Film Riot vibes, which is a massive compliment! Informative and entertaining! Great job, guys!
Such a great episode! Another example I think we can touch on are films like Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch... they didn't have access to the most expensive gear or a variety of lenses - so they wrote a script that works with what they had access to. Even when it came to locations.
Great video guys, thanks for taking the time to create this series - you rock.
The trick to pace a shot‘s storytelling by how long it takes to say it out loud in words is genius.
As an aspiring filmmaker, this video was very helpful and inspired me to get out there and start filming
I have to say that your videos inspire me and my work a lot even if I'm not a film maker or vfx artist. I'm coming from a motion comic background but you guys help me to understand a lot more and how things are connected, how the pores strech ;) and all that stuff. Keep rocking fellas!
