@@laurentderrien I mean there was very little story to massacre anyway. No one really cares anyway, either the show is good or it's not. It's really that simple.
God apple has failed miserably with their promotion of Foundation. I had never even heard of it but now I HAVE to watch it based on how awesome those clips looked.
I think David Goyer wanted on this show so he could actually react to his worst work. Not often you hear these professionals be so critical of their own creations.
His critical attitude shows how much he cares about the show. And I don't think he's really blaming anyone other than probably Apple for not giving enough time/budget to make the show as perfect as he'd like. Which I agree with. There's a reason why Stranger Things is so successful. The team is given enough budget and time with each season to make it spectacular. How many shows take 3-4 years between each season? None, yet Stranger Things has proven that fans are willing to wait if their patience is paid off.
Love how open these guys are to talking about missteps and things they missed until it was too late. That kind of insight makes me appreciate the artistry and final product even more.
man what a earth-shattering, mind-breaking idea! Who could have ever thought about doing a video like this in a million years? no, 10 million years? You, my liege, are the smartest erson that has ever graced existence.
That would be great! I can't quite put my finger on why the newest one looks worse in so many scenes. Don't get me wrong, the hero shots were badass and super fun. The rest just looked a little meh
The years of work they've put in to the industry. They deserve this exposure. Knowing the people they are fans of... are fans of them. It has to be so cool. Really shows how small the world is.
Damn it seemed like these guys had so much fun here, like they really wanted to come along and chat with you about their work. really fun episode, amazing to see people so passionate and animated with you
I swear Niko has the most satisfying job, look at his face! Almost always has that super happy Santa Claus face from those Christmas-time Coke cans. Also sweet episode, didn't know season 2 was out.
I'd love to know of a sequence that artists have thought of but technology wasn't able to accomplish, and how they had to reimagine it if it was feasible.
Avatar was kicking around Cameron's head for years and then once CG tech caught up to his vision he was able to execute it. These days, we can do pretty much anything given the time and money. The real challenge is asking yourself if what you are doing serves the story and is worth the effort. Otherwise you are just VFX Free Birding.
We need more Foundation VFX artist react, I've gotten into the series right after I watched this video! Just awesome to hear the artists talking about their crafts!
@@winged777 How is it "woke"? Lmao, you should've just said what you really wanted to say: _"If it only hadn't black people and strong female characters"._
@@mrcroob8563 nah the story of the emperors is the best part of the show, and it was completely manufactured. the things they changed from the adapted story that is kinda weird.
Would love to hear you asking guests what developments in visual effects they want to see in the future. It could be interesting to see what different artists feel would push the envelope.
SUGGESTION: A movie you don't expect to have visual effects: Notting Hill. Check out 1 h 28 minutes into that movie! It's a sequence where the seasons change within a few seconds.
I just looked up the scene. It’s good storytelling, but no special effects going on, just shot on a very long stage/lot, with the set partitioned in different versions, and he just walks through it. Nicely choreographed, but , I mean, his suit even stays the same. More symbolic than visual, really.
@@cineturonIf memory serves me well, it was done in two shots, so there are minimal visual effects in the middle to join the two. But other than that, it's indeed all choreography
Love how much you guys have cemented yourselves as a part of the industry with this show. That these people at the top of their game are seeking you out to come and talk about their work.
This show is so great! I love seeing the names and faces behind some of the best VFX work ever done. Actors and directors get all the limelight but these are the people that actually make the magic happen.
It's more inspired by the books rather than an adaptation of them, which is pretty disappointing. The best part in s01 was the subplot they made up from scratch.
Much respect to you guys. As soon as I saw that you had two guys who made a show for Apple TV on, my first thought was "Great, this is just going to be a commercial for Foundation." And then almost immediately your guests start talking about how much the shot their reacting to annoys them. And the real issues of filmmaking. This episode was a fun watch.
I was so excited to see Foundation come back for season 2. The concepts of the book are so massive, I was blown away that you guys captured that feeling in the show. I think it's one of the best epic tales done on TV ever. Your commitment to detail and willingness to go all out is so present in your work and I am so happy right now.
@@HAL_NOVEMILA: It isn't ultimately that different at all; keep in mind that the first book, _Foundation_ itself, is short and purposefully fragmented to give the impression of grand scales of time; the series isn't so much changing the story (although it does that too) as it's filling in blanks to expand upon it, and it's doing a great job at that.
@@yeyuan6273: Yeah, to be frank it doesn't even seem to me like most people complaining have even read the book(s) themselves, but are just repeating what others have told them.
I'm so happy you guys are doing so well and are so influential. It's like seeing an actor you like early in their career and then you feel like you share a part of their success as they thrive. An odd human reaction but real nonetheless. (Wow. I thought nonetheless might be one word... and to my shock... it is!)
Really appreciated the "better help" segment. As a man, I've learned to tell my brothers I love them. Men need to open themselves up and tell their friends how they feel.
What a fascinating episode, thank you. There really is an equally charismatic equivalent of Stanley Tucci in the visual effects industry! Great chemistry! Much love
You guys should take a look at the opening credits of Vertigo. It's supposedly the first use of CGI with a live-action film. It's stunning to see knowing that it's from 1958.
Good suggestion. Given there was no CGI back then, the swirls are nicely done. Most likely with a function generator on a screen, and then tinted. Or drawn out to avoid any flicker of the screen. Hmm 🤔
@@seanbirch Well, yes... You're right. I get it. That's how anyone would evolve in their respective feilds. However, I just wanted to point out that what they would count as "fails", I might personally consider to be a great accomplishment, with me being a beginner. It's humbling, as well as inspiring to see someone that's more than proficient at their craft have such self reflection, despite years of amazing work. I hope we'll all be blessed with such introspective wisdom one day.
11:13 Honestly, I didn’t really notice the pillars moving and think something was off. The location makes the pillars looks like old distressed dock or building supports. I could easily imagine that over time, the foundations could be loose. Loved this episode. Everyone is so humble and ok with calling out the hiccups and visually off moments. Makes me appreciate their work even more.
It has to be such a cool feeling to know that people you look up to and that are considered big names in the industry, away they're "big fans" of your work. Bravo corridor crew, doing big things! 🎉
A truly impressive get for guests. Well of course, ALL of the special guests have been suitably special. The differences between how you see the scenes and the people who make them are interesting because it shows that even sometimes when they think they fail, they still kinda win just on the merit that the show even gets made and people are suspending their disbelief. And yeah, long time fan here, still hoping one day we'll see _Tether_ happen.
I think Ami Yamato would make a good guest for this show; she seems to know a lot about VFX, you know, with the way she edits herself into movie scenes and stuff. You guys should invite her; she said she'd be down for it!
Would be cool to see you guys cover the Dinotopia miniseries from 2002. Most importantly, comparing the pterodactyl riding sequence to Avatar’s first flight scene with the banshees.
I almost feel like I personally know you guys. Having been following you guys for so long, it’s like watching friends become famous filmmakers in real time. Awesome stuff man, you guys are amazing. Keep it up!!!!
I think it'd be cool especially when you have 2 effects guests to have them show their first industry shots in their career and their most recent and explain how they feel they've grown
The thing is that in VFX you have a whole team behind you, so everyone's early work still looks amazing. When you are a Junior you have a bunch of seniors holding your hand and walking you through all your shots. Chris was one of my first VFX supes, and he was amazing to work with. We worked on the Chariot race for the Ben Hur remake. The quality of the shots are top notch, even though it was some of the first work I have ever done.
One detail that I'm surprised you didn't mention on the canoe shot. The canoe is now in the water, but the water ripples beneath it are still displaced and reflecting light as normal. Even a masked filter to removed most of the reflections would've looked better. Nit-pick I know, but this is the show for it. Love the show.
Love how this show has evolved from just VFX to more of an industry sharing session where how they get around budgets and limitations, money shots etc.
Just wanted to send some love. You guys are dope put together an awesome channel! As someone who really wanted to have a career in this field ever since I was a youngster but never made it. Now a father of 3 and married in Kansas and we’ll never make it out to LA, it’s just really awesome to have this channel in my world! I thank you! Project power with Jamie fox would be cool for vfx artist react as far as a recommendation though! Keep killing it!
YES! I went to school for computer animation in the late 90's/early 2000's. I ended up in graphic design but I adore getting these looks into the industry I almost went into.
Great 16-minute advertisement for the TV show Foundation. Only halfway kidding, you still managed to break down interesting FX, from the actual show runners! I would have loved to watch the show runners react to stuff they didn’t work on too (then it would have felt less like a commercial). I love this channel, and always watch the extended versions on the website/app. Thanks for another great “React” video!
Alot of things are wrong with foundation. But the visuals are probably the best ive seen in a TV show. I watched the sequence of the jumpship crashing and exploding so many times!
I'm so impressed with Apple for both this and Silo. The commonality between the two, after watching this, is clear - great story and acting, GREAT production design, and letting the VFX arise from that.
For David… what the was the conversation like with Zack Snyder when discussing Superman’s flight. How did you guys execute the flight sequences so flawlessly?
Finishing the first episode of the second season, one of my first thoughts was- I can't wait till they do a whole episode on Foundation on VFX Artist reacts, because the quality of this show is chefs kiss* amazing. Avatar is the only Ip that comes to mind now a days that compares to the cgi realest acquired in this show. The immersive qualities though remind me of the go blade runner... (written before watching this ep of VFX Aritist...)
Foundation is a great show. The vfx are amazing AND the audio is outstanding. If you watch with a true surround setup (not a soundbar or pseudo-surround), you'll know what I'm talking about. True artists (all around) working on that show!
Loved the video, real annoyed you added spoilers for non released episodes without warning us. But also grateful to see spoilers for things no one has seen yet. Such a peculiar mix of emotions
I liked the popup kayak too because the unfolding effect was just quick enough for the eye to catch that the brain didn't question what happened and also because it was cool future tech that is indistinguishable from magic, like most of the show's technology, so I didn't even question the paddles or the frame materializing because I was already sold.
I "starred" in a Netflix show a couple years ago. It was a docuseries, so I didn't have to do a performance. I just sat in a big comfy chair on the set and talked about my childhood and the situation I was in at that time. It was an awesome set that took a ton of effort and expertise to create, the camera operators and the lighting crew were perfectly on point and the sound guys were so prepared and meticulous that it all made me realize that my audio/video equipment at home (that I was pretty proud of) was the equivalent of Fisher Price kids toys in comparison. The makeup room looked like a damn store in there, with hundreds of different shades of the same thing to mix and match so they could make any color or shade of any type of makeup they require.. The whole production was like a very well engineered machine and every part of it was working together seamlessly. But then it came time to start shooting, and I felt like a gigantic douche when I was brought to the set and the Director/Showrunner introduced me as "The Talent".. That was a moment of embarrassment I'll never forget. I know that's the technical term and blah blah.. But any one of those people on set had more talent in their pinky fingers than I have in my whole body, and it just felt so disrespectful to the ACTUAL talents on display by the crew.. I think the crew should be called "the talent" and the actors can take any other pretentious title they want. Actors that show actual, tangible talent are pretty far between in mainstream cinema these days anyway (imo).. ok, rant over. TLDR: Calling the actors on a film set "The Talent" feels like calling Milli Vanilli good musicians. The real talent was the musicians behind the curtain, not the guys hopping around on the stage.
I just finished season 1 and as a space lover that hasn't had the best shows or movies that are outside of star wars or star trek, the Foundation is my newest obsession. Not only is it well done story wise giving us nice juicy futuristic tech and planets and time travel relative to travel across space and space travel in general utilizing black hole essence, but also just visually it is amazingly done. For the size budget that it is it looks so wonderful. This show is a huge reason why I am sticking on to apple tv right now.
Regarding the diagonal decapitation, Blade 2 does the exact same shot with pretty much the same detail, including showing a different angle to include exposed brain tissueway back in 2002, and the eye blinks in that one. I'm curious if Foundation's team looked at that at all in building this one.
The scene of Salvor outside of the flying spaceship (taking off with her brand new mom) without any wind in her hair or air resistance caught my attention so hard.
I remember an episode of that 80s cartoon Centurions where a space elevator was gonna fall down on the earth. That scene in Foundation immediately made me think of that lol
I think it is fascinating hearing which shots the creators wish the could "fix." I think have a regular question to ask them "Which shot do you wish you could go back & adjust the most." You do ask this essentially some times & they spoke about it alot in this one. I think just keep it up. Love all your work & vibes btw. Cheers
Nico I'm so glad that you asked for the audience to give their questions, because every time i see a video like this, i am always left with a blank space in my mind. The question you should've asked is: "What is your favorite color?"

The quality of Foundation on a budget this low is insane compared to many big budget shows and movies. Kudos to these guys.
lmao, have you even read the books ? don't you care about them being massacred ?
@@laurentderriennah bro what 😭
@@laurentderrien I mean there was very little story to massacre anyway. No one really cares anyway, either the show is good or it's not. It's really that simple.
@@apoclypse yeah, only 7 books, very little story
@@laurentderrien*visual* effects artists react. story means nothing here, all visuals
It's awesome to see how aware and critical David Goyer is of his own work
If only he was the same for when he worked on BLADE: Trinity. 😅😮
Yeah at least he knows it all looks terrible
If only he was critical of his OWN work.
God apple has failed miserably with their promotion of Foundation. I had never even heard of it but now I HAVE to watch it based on how awesome those clips looked.
Just an FYI it doesn't really follow the book super accurate. But it is very enjoyable.
I got a 6 month free trial of Apple TV through my PlayStation just to check Foundation out. It’s the best Sci-Fi show I’ve seen since The Expanse.
@@DaveBoyI could tell just from the clips but good to have that confirmed, so that if I watch this I won't be irritated XD
Keep in mind the books are much much better, but the shows not all bad, Jared Harris and Lee Pace carry it
I can not escape the promotion of this show. It's everywhere in my feeds
I think David Goyer wanted on this show so he could actually react to his worst work. Not often you hear these professionals be so critical of their own creations.
Did I miss the part where he talked about Blade:Trinity ? lol
Have you ever watched an episode of this show they are all like that.
Most creative ppl in this business are like that, you kind of have to be
@@Clawed9 *Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
His critical attitude shows how much he cares about the show. And I don't think he's really blaming anyone other than probably Apple for not giving enough time/budget to make the show as perfect as he'd like. Which I agree with. There's a reason why Stranger Things is so successful. The team is given enough budget and time with each season to make it spectacular. How many shows take 3-4 years between each season? None, yet Stranger Things has proven that fans are willing to wait if their patience is paid off.
Love how open these guys are to talking about missteps and things they missed until it was too late. That kind of insight makes me appreciate the artistry and final product even more.
Foundation doesn’t get nearly the love that I really think it deserves. Absolutely wonderful show.
I’m loving it! 👍🏼 Resubscribed specifically to watch it.
David Goyer’s personality and commentary is infectious. Hope he comes on just random episodes
SUGGESTION: You guys should compare the new transformers to the old stuff
yeah ive been watching the transformers movies and Dark side of the Moon is a huge leap on transformers details
man what a earth-shattering, mind-breaking idea! Who could have ever thought about doing a video like this in a million years? no, 10 million years? You, my liege, are the smartest erson that has ever graced existence.

This is a paid advertisement from Apple TV
@@JMillion It's actually paid for by BetterHelp, the sponsor of the episode.
Dude, Foundation is like legit the best visually astounding Sci-fi production I ever seen. So happy to see in depth talks about the vfx in it! ❤
The fact that these VFX legends are calling to be on the show and are actual fans of your channel is pretty amazing. Solid work Corridor Crew.
The years of work they've put in to the industry. They deserve this exposure. Knowing the people they are fans of... are fans of them. It has to be so cool. Really shows how small the world is.

Also sweet episode, didn't know season 2 was out.
I'd love to know of a sequence that artists have thought of but technology wasn't able to accomplish, and how they had to reimagine it if it was feasible.
Ask any artist if what they ended up with matches 100% with what was in their head and they'll probably all say no.
Avatar was kicking around Cameron's head for years and then once CG tech caught up to his vision he was able to execute it. These days, we can do pretty much anything given the time and money. The real challenge is asking yourself if what you are doing serves the story and is worth the effort. Otherwise you are just VFX Free Birding.
That's a great question!
The fact that they pretty much only talked about what went wrong is a testament to their openness and the openness of this series. Super cool
We need more Foundation VFX artist react, I've gotten into the series right after I watched this video! Just awesome to hear the artists talking about their crafts!
Showing shots from Season 2 episodes that haven't been aired yet both got me excited and upset about spoilers.
Right? Partner and I just paused it quickly, thinking hold on, where did S2 E6 come from. Now I have to stop the video to avoid spoilers.
Yep as soon as I saw that I immediately stopped the video. Probably should have waited for the season to air first before releasing this video
what's there to spoil none of what they showed happens in the books anyways
Yepp. Guess I’ll finish watching this episode later!
What gets is that doesn't that kinda breaks the WGA strike? For a writer to be basically promoting the new season of a show?
Foundation is absolutely gorgeous. Not because they have insane CGI technic, but the design, the cinematography are just amazing.
If only they had good writers

Jesus the Foundation show looks 20% brilliant, beautiful SF and 80% absolutely cluttered CGI haze.
I'm always amazed by the caliber of Hollywood people that come on this show, they've really grown a lot.
I suspect it's a business of people who feel under-recognized and this is where people actually care about their work and about giving credit.

Now a father of 3 and married in Kansas and we’ll never make it out to LA, it’s just really awesome to have this channel in my world! I thank you! Project power with Jamie fox would be cool for vfx artist react as far as a recommendation though! Keep killing it!
YES! I went to school for computer animation in the late 90's/early 2000's. I ended up in graphic design but I adore getting these looks into the industry I almost went into.
Great 16-minute advertisement for the TV show Foundation. Only halfway kidding, you still managed to break down interesting FX, from the actual show runners! I would have loved to watch the show runners react to stuff they didn’t work on too (then it would have felt less like a commercial). I love this channel, and always watch the extended versions on the website/app. Thanks for another great “React” video!
Started watching the show after hearing so much about it and I’m so glad they got them on here!
Goyer is a huge get. Congratulations, Crew!
Alot of things are wrong with foundation. But the visuals are probably the best ive seen in a TV show. I watched the sequence of the jumpship crashing and exploding so many times!
I'm so impressed with Apple for both this and Silo. The commonality between the two, after watching this, is clear - great story and acting, GREAT production design, and letting the VFX arise from that.
That whole scene with true space elevator was INCREDIBLE - watched it so many times , bravo !
For David… what the was the conversation like with Zack Snyder when discussing Superman’s flight. How did you guys execute the flight sequences so flawlessly?
Damn that's alotta jews
Seeing them committed and passionate like this. Can't wait to see s02..
The plot and acting is impeccable in season 2, I can't even find a single flaw in VFX, and it's the best sci-fi series of 2023, hands-down.
Finishing the first episode of the second season, one of my first thoughts was- I can't wait till they do a whole episode on Foundation on VFX Artist reacts, because the quality of this show is chefs kiss* amazing. Avatar is the only Ip that comes to mind now a days that compares to the cgi realest acquired in this show. The immersive qualities though remind me of the go blade runner... (written before watching this ep of VFX Aritist...)
Don't get me wrong I love VFX artists react but man I hope we get more animators react soon!
I do actually love (in a weird way) that Apple doesn’t need to worry about profits and can just do things like this
Foundation is a great show. The vfx are amazing AND the audio is outstanding. If you watch with a true surround setup (not a soundbar or pseudo-surround), you'll know what I'm talking about. True artists (all around) working on that show!
Awesome episode it was a pleasure working on this project!
The fact that he hated his own canoe shot, shows that the VFX team cares about their own work. Respect 🙏
QUESTION: does you being in the film industry and knowing what goes on in the background, does it ruin or enhance movies for you?
Love the last question! It really puts in perspective on how we continue to strive for something better for our own achievements!
Loved the video, real annoyed you added spoilers for non released episodes without warning us. But also grateful to see spoilers for things no one has seen yet. Such a peculiar mix of emotions
first
I liked the popup kayak too because the unfolding effect was just quick enough for the eye to catch that the brain didn't question what happened and also because it was cool future tech that is indistinguishable from magic, like most of the show's technology, so I didn't even question the paddles or the frame materializing because I was already sold.
Foundation is such a rad show, great to see it on VFX artists react again!
Much love for putting the episodes in the timeline. Had to avoid most for spoilers.
I "starred" in a Netflix show a couple years ago. It was a docuseries, so I didn't have to do a performance. I just sat in a big comfy chair on the set and talked about my childhood and the situation I was in at that time. It was an awesome set that took a ton of effort and expertise to create, the camera operators and the lighting crew were perfectly on point and the sound guys were so prepared and meticulous that it all made me realize that my audio/video equipment at home (that I was pretty proud of) was the equivalent of Fisher Price kids toys in comparison. The makeup room looked like a damn store in there, with hundreds of different shades of the same thing to mix and match so they could make any color or shade of any type of makeup they require..
The whole production was like a very well engineered machine and every part of it was working together seamlessly. But then it came time to start shooting, and I felt like a gigantic douche when I was brought to the set and the Director/Showrunner introduced me as "The Talent".. That was a moment of embarrassment I'll never forget. I know that's the technical term and blah blah.. But any one of those people on set had more talent in their pinky fingers than I have in my whole body, and it just felt so disrespectful to the ACTUAL talents on display by the crew.. I think the crew should be called "the talent" and the actors can take any other pretentious title they want. Actors that show actual, tangible talent are pretty far between in mainstream cinema these days anyway (imo)..
ok, rant over.
TLDR: Calling the actors on a film set "The Talent" feels like calling Milli Vanilli good musicians. The real talent was the musicians behind the curtain, not the guys hopping around on the stage.
I just finished season 1 and as a space lover that hasn't had the best shows or movies that are outside of star wars or star trek, the Foundation is my newest obsession. Not only is it well done story wise giving us nice juicy futuristic tech and planets and time travel relative to travel across space and space travel in general utilizing black hole essence, but also just visually it is amazingly done. For the size budget that it is it looks so wonderful. This show is a huge reason why I am sticking on to apple tv right now.
The quality of this show it's amazing, congratulations
Damn. David S. Goyer. What a get. Proud of you guys.
Lee Pace is an incredible actor... loved him in Halt and Catch Fire.
Regarding the diagonal decapitation, Blade 2 does the exact same shot with pretty much the same detail, including showing a different angle to include exposed brain tissueway back in 2002, and the eye blinks in that one. I'm curious if Foundation's team looked at that at all in building this one.
ngl, I did a mini jump when I realized it was David Goyer on the couch. Great episode Crew!
Foundation is amazing. I have been thoroughly entertained from both season 1 and 2. Brilliant work.
Great to hear from these guests! Great episode!!
This is one of my favorite shows from you guys. This was awesome!!!
The scene of Salvor outside of the flying spaceship (taking off with her brand new mom) without any wind in her hair or air resistance caught my attention so hard.
these guys bring the perfect couch energy for this show
I remember an episode of that 80s cartoon Centurions where a space elevator was gonna fall down on the earth. That scene in Foundation immediately made me think of that lol
Do one on the black hole 1979. Practical effects, Matte paintings early CGI, wire stunts, and more
I think it is fascinating hearing which shots the creators wish the could "fix."
I think have a regular question to ask them "Which shot do you wish you could go back & adjust the most."
You do ask this essentially some times & they spoke about it alot in this one. I think just keep it up. Love all your work & vibes btw. Cheers
This is the show I will wait for. I just wish you could do it every day. It’s so freaking awesome.
Nico I'm so glad that you asked for the audience to give their questions, because every time i see a video like this, i am always left with a blank space in my mind. The question you should've asked is: "What is your favorite color?"
Black. Paint it all Black.
