Sad reality is that the vfx guys never got the spotlight they deserve....They are overshadowed by actors/ a-listers. They don't even get profit share & always forced to work on tight deadlines & limited budget 😑
I'd still argue that the VFX ppl make very good 6 figure salaries and get to do what they love. Unfortunately its not the VFX companies that bring the viewers for a movie, it's the director and actors.
I'll add that Disney's biggest issue with real Lion King was that it was too real and animals dont portray human emotions well. The choice not to exaggerate facial expressions to convey more human like qualities while the animals still talk like humans was a miss.
If you look at the teaser version of Thanos at the end of The Avengers and compare that to how he looked in Infinity War and Endgame, there are VAST differences. This technology is always evolving, even during the production of a movie.
It's too bad that A) They didn't make _The Hobbit_ into two movies instead of three. As you said, it required some watering down (as well as fluffing it up with nonsense). As soon as I heard they had decided to make it a trilogy I knew that was going to be tempting to fill it up with fluff and that's exactly what happened; And B) They didn't take their time like they did with _The Lord of the Rings._ Yes, I know Peter was brought in after the original director left and he had to make due with what had been done, but he should have insisted that they give him an additional year to make, and, being Peter Jackson, they should have listened. They still made money but tainted PJ somewhat (his next movie tanked).
That's very sadly not how it worked for Peter. He wanted more time from Warner Bros. but they insisted that the schedule has to be followed and they had no problems with replacing PJ whatsoever - the IP was so big that they would always find a director that would produce to the terms that WB dictates. PJ didn't want the movies and Tolkiens work to be tainted by some random hack. The workload and stress were so intense that it almost killed Peter Jackson. You have to watch some Behind the Scenes stuff. That poor man was miserable.
Honestly people say the new Lion King is bad but as a 3D designer I know how hard it is to achieve those shots and animation it's insane how realistic everything looks. But can't blame them though because people actually expected to bring back those childhood memories.
No no no no no. Interstellar went down in the history books as a ground breaking movie with the likes of which humanity never seen before. It was amazing the story telling was next level and the emotion that it brought out in the audience was palpable enthralling and inescapable to say the least. It enthralled us and left our souls begging for more and with the question of what if. It struck at the very core of humanity with a dream and a vision that we all ponder and want. It’s next level and the emotion it provoked was too. Instant classic unforgettable revolutionary imaginative master piece that push the envelope and did what no other movie could quite grasp. 😉 personally pulled at my heart string like few movies have.
I'm genuinely happy that so many people enjoyed Interstellar, but for me it was unbearable. So much boredom and crying and shiny blocky robots and a lazy concept for the finale. All that for a 3 hours long movie, Jesus Christ, I wanted to shoot myself
The ending is so dumb and cheap that I can't really understand why people find it so deep. And to dare to last 3 hours a movie should have something more to tell. That said, I don't feel bad for anyone, I'm just happy that you liked it 🤷♂️
@@roccobot well I guess that’s what separates me from you. I have sympathy and to a further extend even empathy and beyond. You’re missing something important it takes to throughly enjoy this movie. Possibly something you could look into and maybe fix or help or possibly change to where you could understand. Hope you find a way to enjoy this movie one day it is…. Special!!
As much as I hated Terminator Dark Fate, that scene with John Connor blew me away when I found out that him, his mom and Arnold were all CGI. I was like, wow they did a good job deaging them. Na they're 100% fake CG, it's amazing, bad awful movie, but amazing talent in the editing team, too bad it was wasted.
The problem with the preponderance of VFX is that they've strayed so far into disbelief that it's devolved into video games. Physics are a thing and when it's ignored over the spectacle of the effect -- everything collapses and it just looks like a cheesy video game.
Even when Walt was still alive and in charge they had to make hard financial decisions from time to time. To be fair, it is not even remotely Disney's fault that the company MPC went out of business after working on The Lion King, as they put in their bid for the project and that's what they made for their work. If they underbid the job then that is not Disney's fault.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere What IS Disney's fault, as I was definitively alive during said time, is the terrific hate they have for children. You remember what the director (I believe) of the live-action Beauty and the Beast went on about? How he was talking about murdering the children of Trump supporters? It was retarded beyond belief.
Deep Fakes will be the next big thing. For the next decade we will see more and more realistic (dead) actors made by deep fakes. And after that: going back to real actors in front of real scenes. This will be the quality movie in 10 years, when people realize, that nothing can compare to real people in front of real nature. It will also be accepting our limits (and strengths!) as humans instead of having more and more super heroes on screen. And in 30 years nothing of that will matter, because climate change will finally get people awake and out of their fantasy worlds. While the governments will use the advanced technology to show the elites a fake paradise and keep away the "burden" of mass extinction of animals and humans.
Critics are those who can't do, hence their negativity... Awesome vfx, Greetings from Australia PS: I know it's old school, but how about The Fifth Element fx? It was groundbreaking at the time mainly because it was European not LA bs...
Interstellar is a bizarre pick. Made with minimal cgi and mostly models and practical elements. The cgi used is of high quality but not in anyway as complex as others on the list
You know what, at this point we used CG so much i felt "sick" of it, I watched Ghibli studio movies with a touch and balance of CG but mostly hand drawn images were really a masterpiece, a refreshing breeze to the eye.
Too much CGI can ruin a film for me. Best example is The Hobbit. The Lord Of The Rings movies had so many great sets and costumes, makeup, props and other stuff. The Hobbit is almost always CGI and it pulls me out of it. It is nice but not great. (But sadly movie companies only see the money. The biggest financial success with the least amount of effort.)
I think Thanos' lips movements were really not that convincing. There is test footage out there where you see Ruffalo right next to Thanos doing facial expressions, and somehow the expressions of thanos there seem much better than in the movie itself
The BGM Music is too loud where as the voice over was feeble. Had a hard time reducing volume and increasing it while watching in TV. Later turned on the comments and watched it after muting the video
I agree with that DIsneys Company have sadly gone away from walts idea of "making money to make movies" and endorsed greed instead. But the VFX artists thing isn't neccesarily their fault, the company division in vancouver packed up for tax reasons apparently.
I don't get what people are on about the Lion King ... They might look realistic, but they're still talking animals ... yeahhhhhh ... so real ! So Disney didn't stay with a recipe that they used since the .. what ? ... 50s ? 60s ? 40s ? 30s ? No idea how long Disney has been in the animated movie industry, but it sure are heck is a long, long, long time of several de-cades ! I welcomed the new style very much.
I Love the old time when Lord of The Rings has less CGI Than Hobit. now even the Actors are CGI....... so embarrassing and movie become very low quality when compare to LOTR. 😞 The battle of five armies not even close to the Battle of Helms deep or Minas Tirith.
You should see Ra. One an indian superhero movie. I agree it had weak story line but the concept, action, vfx, costume etc it maybe common in Hollywood but rare in Bollywood.
Damn.. I always thought Lion King live action are combined between real natural cinematography and CGI. Now all is CGI.. I wonder how is powerful a rig they were using to rendering them.
No I'm pretty sure in all common media, the difference between a wyvern and a dragon simply isn't made because there's almost no point in doing it for two extremely similar fictional creatures that serve the exact same function in all stories that they're used.
I think it's unfair to place blame on Walt Disney for MPC's demise. Whenever big movies like this are being planned, companies put in their bids and are either approved or not. And considering how many small visual effects companies are still in business after working on this and other properties it hammers that point home even further.
@@barrettKiwi This has been standard practice for many years, which is why I don't think it's fair to blame Disney for the demise of that company. Sad? Sure. But we can't blame Disney for trying to keep costs as low as possible.

The same happens with the anime industry. Animators get the short end of the stick while VA's get the real money.
@@SenaSLaYeRx they should create their own stuff.
the screenplay is the most important thing anyway.
That's the reality of most crafters who work for others.
I'd still argue that the VFX ppl make very good 6 figure salaries and get to do what they love. Unfortunately its not the VFX companies that bring the viewers for a movie, it's the director and actors.
I am a huge LOTR and The Hobbit fan. I am delighted that you chose The Battle of five Armies as your number 1
I'll add that Disney's biggest issue with real Lion King was that it was too real and animals dont portray human emotions well. The choice not to exaggerate facial expressions to convey more human like qualities while the animals still talk like humans was a miss.
I felt the same
Thanos looked amazing for the most part. Very well done
I just realized that Avatar was on the decade before...... 😮😮
12 years passed and it stills compete with the actual VFX techniques!
What about the first transformers? Came in 2007, and I think it looks amazing.
@@zerogo9669 Yes it looks! It is also a good one in that department!
I was hoping Alita the battle Angel would make the cut. The CGI was insanely awesome

So, the big complaint about Thanos is that they depicted him comic book accurate?
there are ways to use cgi, the hobbit is an example of how not to use excesive cgi, cgi should always be mixed with practical stuff.
Yeah like the 3 Lord of the Rings for exemple
I don’t think we’ll ever get a more perfect blend of cgi and practical effects than LotR
I love the high-effort click bait title pictures of this channel. :)

The award goes to the people who made RDJ much taller than he really is.
intsteller is a masterpiece
Agreed
Godzilla vs Kong is a marvelous movie with great VFX
But not a good storyline
From what I understand having studied the history of Disney for decades, it was and has always been fundamentally about the money.
I liked the orcs better in the LOR trilogy
That Rachel from Blade Runner 2049 was really impressive!!!
And for tv show! Definitely GAME OF THRONES

The writing in Bladerunner2049 was amazing. Knowing a little bit about philosophy and theology helps to understand it.
i see interstellar and hobbit, i click like
me reading the title: “eh”
me seeing the thumbnail: “LE CLICK”
Interstellar is a good movie. It's a moral tale about the importance of family/loved ones, not a science-orgy as it might first appear.
Love that man talking
Makes you wonder if Disney is becoming more like a company and less like Disney? Well, that's been going on for forever.

Great stuff...I do wish you would have done more on the Hobbit but then again, you didn't do enough to spoil it for me either!!
Thanos was a revelation. Not once was I ever taken out of the movie.
lot of respect for you BROTHER
Ehhh…Smaug did not just sounded like Benedict Cumberbatch. Smaug was Benedict Cumberbatch!
The voice and the body was Benedict!
@2:02 omg I never expected Steve Smith in Apes movie 😮
I saw the thumbnail and I was like, "Oh wow. That is so good. I would have never thought of that." Thanks for the video!
No wonder 90% of the Hobbit looks fake. I understand why they went that way but it's so different from LOTR that looked much more real.
Thank you boss, this has become additional knowledge for me as a person who likes to make short videos
All the Thanos shots in your clip were by Weta - DD and Weta both developed Thanos in parallel.
More and more perfect effects, I would like to know what the next cinema innovation will be.
We might need to forward that question to Mr Cameron

Yes Smaug was outstandingly done even if you don't like the movies that Dragon was perfect.

Not sure if showing CGI Rachel and the Hobbit barrel seen was the play here. Arguably some of the "worst" CGI of the decade...
Why did I think this was grian- you sound like grian-
The excess emotional expressions on apes made the apes look fake.
Do the Swedish movie "The Unthinkable" from 2018
vraiment c'est extraordinaire !
Not Kip Throne! Kip Thorne! :)))
I've always prefered costumes in LOTR isntead of CGI orcs in Hobbit. Didn't look so good, so believable.
Of course NASA would never use CGI to convince the masses space is real!
I find all these examples in that video insanely bad examples for CGI. Lord of the rings had better CGI in 2002 than most movies nowdays.
Make a video about John Wick
