I'm still not convinced that Kane Pixels isn't just filming these liminal, impossible, spaces for real. Those renders have gone well beyond any whiff of the uncanny valley. Superb.
I sometimes catch my brain getting bored because it's waiting for the crazy CGI effects to kick in, and then my consciousness suddenly goes, wait, IT'S ALL CGI
Kane is an absolute legend dude and he's like 20 or some shit. Made backrooms at like 16 or something. I'm rough on the numbers but he's young as hell to be this good
Just a small correction about the Kane Pixels video. As incredibly impressive his work is, this project was actually team effort. Kane was involved in almost all of it, creating by himself big portions of the project, but I believe the mall was made by another 3D artist almost entirely, named Corrupt. Also, he had a team just for gathering reference photos for the mall and the giant. So, even though I believe Kane could have done this all by himself, it was a team effort.
Hahah I just start cracking up thinking of RLMs video joking about Ben hur and who the hell thought a remake of an ancient movie nobody wanted wouldn't bomb
So cool that y'all looked at Poor Things. It's one of those films where the cinematography and surreal visual effects are central to the storytelling. Every different lens angle and use of color reflects the perspective and state of mind of the primary character in that moment. You get the fisheye lens when someone is extremely focused on something or experiencing a single emotion/impulse that's overpowering every other aspect of their mind (like when Bella is binging on pastries or Duncan locks Bella in the trunk). The wide angle lens seems to be a way of distinguishing exterior shots from interior shots, and a way of potraying Bella's sense of wonder for the outside world. The color is also really interesting (even though I'm colorblind 😅), as she develops from toddler-like to child-like the world goes from grayscale to colorful, the more she sees the more saturated it gets, until she starts to understand the darker aspects of the world and humanity, when the color loses its vividness and becomes more muted/dour.
You made me think of Lateralus by Tool. Black Then White are All I see In my infancy Red and yellow then came to be Reaching out to me Let's me see As below so above and beyond I imagine Drawn beyond the lines of reason Push the envelope Watch it bend
Yay Kane Pixels mention! When I first saw his new series, it blew me away how real the environment and presentation felt. Him and yall are my two kings of video editing inspiration.
Another thing you guys didn't mention on the horses in Ben-Hur, is that the four identical horses helps a lot in reference in both animation and the render it self, and also having more horses to look at, affects how well we percieve the animation amidst the chaos that is four running horses
1981 Dragonslayer. The practical dragon in that movie is unreal. The Go Motion used is hardcore impressive, as well. Seriously one of the best dragons you will see up until VERY recent times in TV and movies.
I'm pretty sure they looked at "The Blob" since I know how one of the effects was done, and I don't know where else I would have learned that. 😄 I don't remember the phone booth scene, though, so maybe they didn't screen that part.
Agreed. I had seen the train crash videos on RUclips and was terribly disappointed by how fake the movie version looked. Plus, they spent all that time, effort and money for just a few seconds on screen.
The halo hump is a perfect example of that… They film a real halo jump and cover it with a cgi storm that makes the whole thing feel fake. The halo jump from Star Trek actually feels more real even though it’s twice as unbelievable and fantastical…
@@TMJW I think they may have killed horses on the silent film -- and may even have drowned extras in the sea battle, they certainly came close. Only one horse was injured on the 50s film, and they nursed it back to health over months and it was able to rejoin the race which was still being shot six months later!
It's not their normal media, but I would be interested to see them break down CGI from something like Air Crash Investigation, especially comparing early episodes to more recent ones since there have been a couple recent ones that were remakes of early episodes from about 15 to 20 years earlier to compare the evolution of CGI on the same subject. (FYI: Just gonna post this until they do look at the suggested media, if at all.)
That’s a great idea or like the court room , car crash recreations . If they do this I’m recommending a little know case that is my “Roman empire” this man named John Goodman hit a teenager .. driving drunk in his Bentley . He pushed the kid and car off road into a random pond and he downed .. dude abandoned his Bentley .. happened in Wellington Florida I followed it close dude was mega rich. And they did recreations
Have a look at David Cronenbergs, The Fly! The prosthetics are amazing and it crosses over slightly into digital in the ending sequence There's also a movie called Devils advocate with Al pacino, there's a whole face/person morph at the very end Edit: so weird, I added this comment when I started watching, and not 10 minutes in you've asked for this exact thing 😅
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Why do they need "Cronenbergian" monsters when there are so many actual Cronenberg movies they still haven't done. And yeah, Naked Lunch would be a great pick. Or eXisTenZ. (Although that's 90s, not 80s.)
@@aranmcfook9206 now that's a rare reference. Its not an easily available movie so most people have never even heard of it. Its one of my favourite movies I saw growing up that blew my mind because I just did not understand it. But it was so wildly interesting I needed to understand it. So I watched it over and over, got friends to watch and wore out the VHS tape (that ages me) and have never seen it since then. Its not available on any streaming platforms, you can't rent it. I'm sure there are physical copies but who buys those nowadays?

Something about the Oldest View just wont leave my brain, Ive been thinking about it constantly.

Yep. And super tastefully done, too. Carpenter really only shows enough to get the point of the shot across. I think the CG paper tearing sequence would be cool for them to break down, as well.
Here are some less-dissected 80’s latex monster movies worth checking out: From Beyond directed by Stuart Gordon (so many great movies from him) Society directed by Brian Yuzna Basket Case 2 directed by Frank Henenlotter
There’s no way they can show The Shunting on this channel 😂 From Beyond scared the hell out of me when I saw it as a kid There’s also a movie called Neconomicon: Book of the Dead that Yuzna co-directed, starring Jeffrey Combs (Stuart Gordon’s go-to guy). It’s based around three different HP Lovecraft stories, and it has some fantastic and gruesome FX.
Remember when Markiplier came and did his internship with Corridor? Imagine if Kane Pixels came in and they all shared tips and tricks with each other. The collab project they could make together would be insane!
Crazy 1980s creature design - The Deadly Spawn (1983). It was made with a $25,000 budget, but you absolutely wouldn't know it from the effects. They got at least a dollar out of every penny. The special effects director was John Dods, who went on to work on Poltergeist III, Ghostbusters II, Death Becomes Her, Alien: Resurrection, X-Files, Monsters, etc.
One of the neat things about the pigken from Poor Things is that the visual style they're going for (very similar to the Bela Lugosi/Boris Karloff era Universal monster movie) allows for inconsistencies like the unrealistic inertia because we already are primed to expect some unrealistic movements from things we know aren't real. Back in the day that sort of thing would have been something like stop-motion to pull it off and because we expect some unreal movements because of the visual style that's being presented we accept it without even thinking about it.
If you like Poor Things, you will LOVE City of Lost Children!!! Ron Perlman is amazing, and it's in French. So awesome for being a 90s unknown film. Amazing camera work and FX
City of Lost Children also has some great special effects, though I think most of it wasn't CGI. It's an aesthetic masterpiece with a unique steampunk / dieselpunk look.
I really wanted to love City Of Lost Children being a massive fan of Delicatessen and Perlman, but it fell flat for me. Great visual style though and a handful of memorable moments.
@@repletereplete8002It's been many years, but I remember I liked "Alien: Resurrection" and "Amelie" but not "City of Lost Children" or "Delicatessen."
Great episode. I was a comper on MI. Awesome show, and yes lots of it was practical, even if there were additions of lots of VFX (more than may seem apparent). Tom did way more than he needed to or you would expect, even for smallish shots and stunts where he probably didn't need to and that weren't documented, he actually does do all that stuff, not just the big fanfare ones.
Love that you guys went over one of my favorite horror videos!!! I would love to see you guys do more deep dives on horror type of things and how it's possibly made!!
5:15 Jordan's acting in the ad sections has gotten SO good!! Those sections are often filmed in a very cool way too, making fun transitions or callbacks to the episode content, which I really appreciate. If you have to incorporate sponsor content into your vids, this is definitely the way to do it! 😁
that's a real fave of mine and I think really baked in a life long want to play space games like Elite even though I'm absolutely terrible at them and can't fly for sh*t.
I’m watching Hellboy 2: The Golden Army right now and the practical effects are great in this movie. How in the world does the smoke opening the vault door into moving character bit work so well!!
I actually live pretty close to where the Valley View mall used to be. He rendered it so well I instantly thought “Hey, that looks like that mall I used to go to all the time”. The actual mall went out of business a few years ago, but the AMC attached to it is still open to the best of my knowledge.
I’ve actually explored valleyview mall it was legitimately creepy. Right before it was torn down there was a really cool rave in the theater, rest in peace.
Okay I admittedly won't buy any merch but I have to credit Corridor Crew with always having the most entertaining and funny ad breaks, especially the one where you hear a loud clang and he says 'ow my wrist'.
Pumpkinhead. Great creature effects. Not much digital other than titling from what I remember. I worked on it during production. Stan Winston himself directed this. I was on the shoot every day of production. Wonderful experience!
Aliens is a pretty obvious suggestion, but the scene where bishop is examining the innards of the face hugger is something to look at, and in a similar vein, the gun from existenz: the way the pieces are part of the meal and are retrieved and then assembled in a subsequent shot is brilliant. The existenz fish farm scene and restaurant scene and the way the gamepod is ‘animated’ is probably all worth looking at, plus there’s an insect in existenz that I’m sure must be CG, but is supposedly practical. Onyx the Fortuitous is a modern film that utilises deliberate, throwback practical monster effects as a stylistic choice. Jim Henson’s filmography bares examination, but isn’t really latex creature feature type stuff. The creatures in Last Flight of the Navigator (one of them is basically bubble wrap). Total Recall has some pretty strange creature effects. Though arguably not a great movie, the lab from Alien Resurrection could be worth looking at. The creature at the end (human alien hybrid) is pretty terrible.
I was thinking about Henson too, the company anyway, re: all the creatures in Farscape. That show also makes me cheer as their CGI gradually gets better from season to season. The pulled off some really ambitious choreography with seemingly the same rendering power as Myst.
7:08 Probably because the original is an epic masterpiece that didn’t need a remake. (Fun fact: The 1959 Ben-Hur film is actually a remake itself-the true original was a silent film released in 1925!)
If you want great 90s creatures check out the Angel of Death in Cemetery Man, the last great Italian horror film. Alternatively check out the amazing dream logic zero budget masterpiece Winter Beast from 1992 which has a ton of amazing stop motion ghouls and gremlins and was probably filmed over several months because the length of characters hair changes frequently sometimes within the same scene. Monsters include a big dragon, a totem monster with six hands that does a little dance as it rips people to bits, and the titular winter beast
Would love to see a breakdown of all the creature effects from the Predator movies - from the practical effects in the early films, to the CGI in the more recent ones.
The Gnome King in Return to Oz is a dope use of claymation in a creature design; eXistenZ has some squidgy 'creature' fx (though any classic Cronenberg is good: The Brood, Videodrome, &c.); the vampire in the OG Fright Night is pretty good design; also, The Stuff is an interesting one.
I remember "Return to Oz" had a witch who completely switched to a different head whenever she wanted to change her appearance. With the exception of book two, L. Frank Baum's original "Oz" books could get pretty gnarly.
list of Indian movies with some great CGI shots 2023-2024 1.salaar 2.Hanuman 3.gaami 4.the goat life 5.jawaan 6.maaveeran 7.bloody daddy 8.leo and also waiting for the complete bahubali episode (Salaar, saaho, bahubali has same lead actor prabhas His next film kalki 2898ad is the highest budget Indian movie ever made)
Production design, cinematography and music all helped tell Bella’s story. We see her grow from her perspective. That’s why the ship sequence and the Portugal and France sequences look as surreal as they do, because that’s how she sees the world, through the eyes of a child.
The advertising section is where you show how good you are as content creators. You force your viewers to stay and don't skip them. The way the ads are integrated with the theme of the video... man, you are real pros. The "dicken" part... you were full Beavis & Butthead!😂. We love you men, quality content as always. Higs from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
The Poor Things bit at the beginning got me because seeing the movie in theaters the group next to me decided to bring a child that was like 10 or 11 at the oldest, and they didn't decide to walk out until over half way through the damn thing.
Trauma sequence initiated. Some parents... of course parents can go to older movies with their kids... but never ever would I get one into an r-rated and 16yrs in most of the countries.
Well you have to give them credit for at least recognizing the mistake and leaving. I just hope it was before the whore house scenes ’cause that was some seriously disturbing whackiness. 😮
The 1st Hellraiser movie messed me up because at the time there were several flix depicting heaven....or the producers vision of heaven, but Hellraiser was the first I saw depicting Hell. The pinhead character was great but so were all the others and the scene where the guy was hacking himself up with a razor blade messed me up for days! Check it out!
those movies were so overdone they shot right past horror and went into rocky horror show pastiche. Pinhead became a celebrity and for the time horror like that was just so acceptable and mainstream. Perhaps if you watched it when you were younger it would be more disturbing but I found them hilarious movies and remember watching them with friends and whooping and laughing together how much everyone over acted and how absurd it got out of nowhere. Not that I was some hardcore horror head. I got deeply disturbed by a trailer for the movie Evil Dead. Not even the movie! Just the advert on TV. I had nightmares for weeks about it haha
Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror had some really special and visual effects. Great drippy zombies and blood squibs. I'd love the crews take on Rose McGowans fake wooden leg.
When it comes to Mission Impossible, it seems pointless to "do it all for real" and then slap poor cgi on top. It ruins the whole "did it for real" aspect. Jackie Chan is not on a green screen with wires, he's literally jumping onto a pole and in danger. Totally different
They probably didn't use a lot of green screen or blue screen, but the Hong Kong movies did use wires for their stunts. When the technology for it arrived, they started using wires _a lot_ and used the computer to paint them out.
One of my favorite creature designs from the 90s is the fleshy-robot monstrosities in the movte Virus starting Jamie Lee Curtis. Essentially, an alien computer virus beams down from space and infects a military ship but is unable to connect to the mainland to spread, so it starts to strategically kill off the crew and starts to build creatures that will help it get to shore out of anything it can, including the deceased crew. Not sure if y'all have done this before, but I'd love to know your thoughts. The vfx still hold up imo.
In Ben-Hur 1959 they managed to swap out a person with a doll during the race and it worked seamless. Anyway. The CGI in 2016 version is how you do CGI properly as you can't really see when it's fake or real.
@@slanigrad The original is one of the best movies ever made. There is also some huge impressive map paintings in that movie too, which would have been CGI today.
I grew up hearing that someone died in the filming of that race and they used the footage anyway. Your comment reminded me of that and I looked it up on wiki. Happy to report it was myth, although there was a minor injury that was indeed incorporated into the film.
@@Dinlitla Yeah. No one died. If you look closely you can see that it's a doll below the chariot. You couldn't see that it were a doll on VHS, and is probably why the myth started. I watched a making of and they showed how it were done. I don't remember how they managed to replace it. Perhaps they filmed the same scene over and over again, until the doll were perfectly placed.
Oh man, I’m so excited to recommend these things. I have two monster suggestions, both Japanese. The first one I STRONGLY recommend is Tetsuo: The Iron Man, from 1989. You guys will love the Behind the Scenes. It’s wild. Very low budget, surreal, kind of gross body horror that surpasses its limitations. Also it’s completely available on RUclips. My other recommendation is from the Godzilla franchise, as I’ve seen you guys touch on that before, also 1989: Godzilla vs Biollante. I always describe Biollante as the Godzilla franchise’s Cronenberg monster. It’s an insane suit, probably one of the most complicated practical suits in the franchise.
On a relatively unrelated level: Corridor Crew, can you guys please make a calender with the best surprised/shocked/confused faces of Wren?😅 My husband and I watch your videos all the time and Wren's expressions when something shocks or surprises him just cracks me up every time😂🤩
The Blob remake from 1988 has some excellent practical effects, gooey creature fx and great miniature work. Very impressive stuff from back in the day.
For me there was one thing that gave The Rolling Giant away right at the beginning, and that was the shadow of the cameraman. You could see it wasn't an actual person from the movements. Otherwise it's amazing though.
The Humane Hollywood write-up on Ben-Hur 2016 has some interesting details on how they filmed the chariot scenes without putting the horses in any danger.
I was introduced to Kane Pixels via Wendigoon's stream channel Wendigang, and the comment "Mr. Oldest Hugs is gonna make you an Iceberg Man." will live in my head rent free forever. Followed closely by "He looks kind. Watch how kind he gets."
80's and 90's Creatures: The Witches (1990) the witches, human/mouse hybrids. Big Trouble in Little China (1987) hairy monster, floating eye creature, exploding man For an interesting 80's camera shot: Highlander (1986) the opening sequence at the wrestling event. Is a little how did they do that indoors in '86?
Animorphic shots with the swirly bokehs is making a huge wave in so much media. FX's Shogun series has a lot of shots with the swirling bokehs for their depth of field to help illustrate the protagonists disorientation of being in the new lands with new customs. There are also the large shots with curved edges around the screen for massive FOV's to illustrate the scope of the environment like the villages and the volume of different lives. It's so awesome to see the different lenses used for creative purposes. I've noticed in the trailers for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, there are some swirly bokeh shots when an actor is focused center of the screen for a medium shot. There has been other recent works where I noticed the distorted bokeh shots are making a huge resurgence in creative storytelling.
I do enjoy watching (for some reason) the TV mini series "The Langoliers" with some of the most top notch CGI effects. Plus it has Cousin Balky from Perfect Strangers

Love that you guys went over one of my favorite horror videos!!! I would love to see you guys do more deep dives on horror type of things and how it's possibly made!!
Definitely Brian Yuzna's Society. The Shunting at the end is amazing.
The moistest scene ever put on film…
There’s absolutely no way they can show any of The Shunting on this 😂
Came to say this 😊
The Goa'uld symbiote scene from the first episode of Stargate SG1 is pretty gnarly.
Bravo to Kane. Just... wow, absolutely amazing work.
5:15 Jordan's acting in the ad sections has gotten SO good!! Those sections are often filmed in a very cool way too, making fun transitions or callbacks to the episode content, which I really appreciate. If you have to incorporate sponsor content into your vids, this is definitely the way to do it! 😁
Rarely do I find myself watching an advertisement 5:08 & 12:50 from start to finish, but this one caught my attention. Kudos to the team.
Shoutout to the crew for the efforts going into the advertising scenes. Great stuff
ive been learning so much since i started watching y'all. great job and y'all are good teachers
You guys totally need to do The Last Starfighter.
that's a real fave of mine and I think really baked in a life long want to play space games like Elite even though I'm absolutely terrible at them and can't fly for sh*t.
Agreed! In the meantime, have you seen Captain Disillusion's special on the movie? It's a excellent deep dive into the movie.
@@noelfinegan Wasn't able to find it?
I’m watching Hellboy 2: The Golden Army right now and the practical effects are great in this movie. How in the world does the smoke opening the vault door into moving character bit work so well!!
I actually live pretty close to where the Valley View mall used to be. He rendered it so well I instantly thought “Hey, that looks like that mall I used to go to all the time”. The actual mall went out of business a few years ago, but the AMC attached to it is still open to the best of my knowledge.
that amc is was ma mudafukin shit lol i was surpriced how long it manage to stay open for so long lmao
Really loved to see Kane Pixels here. Must be a real honor being featured by Corridor. For a good CGI I mean lol
I’m sure he would love to.
I’ve actually explored valleyview mall it was legitimately creepy. Right before it was torn down there was a really cool rave in the theater, rest in peace.
Okay I admittedly won't buy any merch but I have to credit Corridor Crew with always having the most entertaining and funny ad breaks, especially the one where you hear a loud clang and he says 'ow my wrist'.
Pumpkinhead. Great creature effects. Not much digital other than titling from what I remember. I worked on it during production. Stan Winston himself directed this. I was on the shoot every day of production. Wonderful experience!
Aliens is a pretty obvious suggestion, but the scene where bishop is examining the innards of the face hugger is something to look at, and in a similar vein, the gun from existenz: the way the pieces are part of the meal and are retrieved and then assembled in a subsequent shot is brilliant. The existenz fish farm scene and restaurant scene and the way the gamepod is ‘animated’ is probably all worth looking at, plus there’s an insect in existenz that I’m sure must be CG, but is supposedly practical.
Onyx the Fortuitous is a modern film that utilises deliberate, throwback practical monster effects as a stylistic choice.
Jim Henson’s filmography bares examination, but isn’t really latex creature feature type stuff.
The creatures in Last Flight of the Navigator (one of them is basically bubble wrap).
Total Recall has some pretty strange creature effects.
Though arguably not a great movie, the lab from Alien Resurrection could be worth looking at. The creature at the end (human alien hybrid) is pretty terrible.
I was thinking about Henson too, the company anyway, re: all the creatures in Farscape. That show also makes me cheer as their CGI gradually gets better from season to season. The pulled off some really ambitious choreography with seemingly the same rendering power as Myst.
@@trashpandaqc I wish they’d look at more practical stuff.
I never watched Farscape but it sounds like something they might look at.
If I remember right, the gun in Existenz is a gun made of live flesh that shoots teeth as bullets . . . so that was pretty inventive. 😄
1986 The Fly has some neat creature design going on
7:08 Probably because the original is an epic masterpiece that didn’t need a remake.
(Fun fact: The 1959 Ben-Hur film is actually a remake itself-the true original was a silent film released in 1925!)
And before the films, a stage adaptation, that used real horses and chariots running on treadmills on stage.
That's Hollywood, always thinking they can outdo themselves because money
@@yendis101 I didn’t know that! That’s interesting. And of course all of them are based on the 1880 novel by Lew Wallace.
"Ben hur, done that"
@@yendis101 fucking what?
Regarding Niko’s question: how about the dried out zombie-looking vampires from Lifeforce?
5:08 This is my new favourite ad break! Smooth, hilarious, perfectly captures the vibe that it's parodying - not to mention incredibly acted!!
You really need to get Kane Pixels on this show
That CGI mall looks insane. Also you check out 'The Deadly Spawn'
Creature design - The Deep. Also, one insanely good half-digested guy sequence.
Jep, that's a good one!
The Deep? The fish guy from The Boys? You know he’s just a real guy, right?
I believe you mean Deep Rising.
the deep 1977 movie
I have a cool creature design for you from the mid 80's, the fish creature in the glass tank from Dune 1984, he's called The Guild Navigator Edric.
That break to sell the shirts was so well done
I look forward to these excellent breakdowns each week, keep it up Corridor!
The baby from Eraserhead has got to be the most frightening thing I've ever seen.
My final high school film was based on Eraserhead. It's hard to urk me out, but that thing...
But in Heaven, everything is fine. You've got your good things - and I've got mine.
Truuuueeee!
If you want great 90s creatures check out the Angel of Death in Cemetery Man, the last great Italian horror film.
Alternatively check out the amazing dream logic zero budget masterpiece Winter Beast from 1992 which has a ton of amazing stop motion ghouls and gremlins and was probably filmed over several months because the length of characters hair changes frequently sometimes within the same scene. Monsters include a big dragon, a totem monster with six hands that does a little dance as it rips people to bits, and the titular winter beast
That Kane Pixels short film is fantastic. Highly recommend. Good to see him getting some applause here. Should try to get him on the couch.
Would love to see a breakdown of all the creature effects from the Predator movies - from the practical effects in the early films, to the CGI in the more recent ones.
The Gnome King in Return to Oz is a dope use of claymation in a creature design; eXistenZ has some squidgy 'creature' fx (though any classic Cronenberg is good: The Brood, Videodrome, &c.); the vampire in the OG Fright Night is pretty good design; also, The Stuff is an interesting one.
I remember "Return to Oz" had a witch who completely switched to a different head whenever she wanted to change her appearance.
With the exception of book two, L. Frank Baum's original "Oz" books could get pretty gnarly.

Eagerly waiting
In The Mouth of Madness is right up your alley, Niko.
Production design, cinematography and music all helped tell Bella’s story. We see her grow from her perspective. That’s why the ship sequence and the Portugal and France sequences look as surreal as they do, because that’s how she sees the world, through the eyes of a child.
So happy you covered Kane Pixels work again
The advertising section is where you show how good you are as content creators. You force your viewers to stay and don't skip them. The way the ads are integrated with the theme of the video... man, you are real pros.
The "dicken" part... you were full Beavis & Butthead!😂. We love you men, quality content as always. Higs from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
The Poor Things bit at the beginning got me because seeing the movie in theaters the group next to me decided to bring a child that was like 10 or 11 at the oldest, and they didn't decide to walk out until over half way through the damn thing.
Trauma sequence initiated. Some parents... of course parents can go to older movies with their kids... but never ever would I get one into an r-rated and 16yrs in most of the countries.
how tf was the child let in???
haha, i loved that movie but it's not very suitable for a child
And that kid went straight home to the pirate bay...
Well you have to give them credit for at least recognizing the mistake and leaving. I just hope it was before the whore house scenes ’cause that was some seriously disturbing whackiness. 😮
The 1st Hellraiser movie messed me up because at the time there were several flix depicting heaven....or the producers vision of heaven, but Hellraiser was the first I saw depicting Hell. The pinhead character was great but so were all the others and the scene where the guy was hacking himself up with a razor blade messed me up for days! Check it out!
those movies were so overdone they shot right past horror and went into rocky horror show pastiche. Pinhead became a celebrity and for the time horror like that was just so acceptable and mainstream. Perhaps if you watched it when you were younger it would be more disturbing but I found them hilarious movies and remember watching them with friends and whooping and laughing together how much everyone over acted and how absurd it got out of nowhere. Not that I was some hardcore horror head. I got deeply disturbed by a trailer for the movie Evil Dead. Not even the movie! Just the advert on TV. I had nightmares for weeks about it haha
In the Mouth of Madness deserves a full going-over. Several great, subtle uses of vfx. The sleep-driving sequence is just fantastic.
Robert Rodriguez's Planet Terror had some really special and visual effects. Great drippy zombies and blood squibs. I'd love the crews take on Rose McGowans fake wooden leg.
When it comes to Mission Impossible, it seems pointless to "do it all for real" and then slap poor cgi on top. It ruins the whole "did it for real" aspect. Jackie Chan is not on a green screen with wires, he's literally jumping onto a pole and in danger. Totally different
They probably didn't use a lot of green screen or blue screen, but the Hong Kong movies did use wires for their stunts.
When the technology for it arrived, they started using wires _a lot_ and used the computer to paint them out.
One of my favorite creature designs from the 90s is the fleshy-robot monstrosities in the movte Virus starting Jamie Lee Curtis. Essentially, an alien computer virus beams down from space and infects a military ship but is unable to connect to the mainland to spread, so it starts to strategically kill off the crew and starts to build creatures that will help it get to shore out of anything it can, including the deceased crew. Not sure if y'all have done this before, but I'd love to know your thoughts. The vfx still hold up imo.
Killer Klowns from Outer Space is a 1988 must see if you haven’t. If clowns don’t creep you out a little now, they will after you’ve seen it.
Absolute props for the horse animations... the CG artists had to be horse lovers.. render+animation+compositing so good
The visual effects for The Deadly Spawn (1983) are fantastic. How they were managed on such a low budget is beyond me.
OMFG KANE PIXELS!!!
Kane Pixels is doing a Backrooms movie with A24 now and bringing it to theaters. Probably next year.
In Ben-Hur 1959 they managed to swap out a person with a doll during the race and it worked seamless.
Anyway. The CGI in 2016 version is how you do CGI properly as you can't really see when it's fake or real.
og is still better to me. shot selection and that visceral feeling of chaos is strong in 59.
@@slanigrad The original is one of the best movies ever made. There is also some huge impressive map paintings in that movie too, which would have been CGI today.
I grew up hearing that someone died in the filming of that race and they used the footage anyway. Your comment reminded me of that and I looked it up on wiki. Happy to report it was myth, although there was a minor injury that was indeed incorporated into the film.
@@Dinlitla Yeah. No one died. If you look closely you can see that it's a doll below the chariot.
You couldn't see that it were a doll on VHS, and is probably why the myth started.
I watched a making of and they showed how it were done. I don't remember how they managed to replace it. Perhaps they filmed the same scene over and over again, until the doll were perfectly placed.
@@V3ntilator the 59 version isn't the original. 1920's silent version is.
Oh man, I’m so excited to recommend these things. I have two monster suggestions, both Japanese.
The first one I STRONGLY recommend is Tetsuo: The Iron Man, from 1989. You guys will love the Behind the Scenes. It’s wild. Very low budget, surreal, kind of gross body horror that surpasses its limitations. Also it’s completely available on RUclips.
My other recommendation is from the Godzilla franchise, as I’ve seen you guys touch on that before, also 1989: Godzilla vs Biollante. I always describe Biollante as the Godzilla franchise’s Cronenberg monster. It’s an insane suit, probably one of the most complicated practical suits in the franchise.
On a relatively unrelated level: Corridor Crew, can you guys please make a calender with the best surprised/shocked/confused faces of Wren?😅 My husband and I watch your videos all the time and Wren's expressions when something shocks or surprises him just cracks me up every time😂🤩
Please react to the opening shot and wormhole travel scenes from Contact next!
only now learning mission impossible got cgi lol...tom cruise is a legend!!
look up "the movie rabbit hole". You´d be suprised
fr
The Blob remake from 1988 has some excellent practical effects, gooey creature fx and great miniature work. Very impressive stuff from back in the day.
I think they looked at some scenes from "The Blob" (1988) during one of their Halloween episodes.
They HAD to put in this effort into the Chariot race. The original chariot race is one of the most notable things ever filmed.
I'd love to see you guys react to more 'invisible' VFX shots like the Parasite episode. Maybe dissecting the cab scene in Fincher's Zodiac (2007)
For me there was one thing that gave The Rolling Giant away right at the beginning, and that was the shadow of the cameraman. You could see it wasn't an actual person from the movements. Otherwise it's amazing though.
The shot of the grass? One of the only shots that are actually filmed in real life?
Yeah exactly 😂 @@-bugbite
remember when we actually got high quality videos instead of just react content every single time?
Hell yeah! Love that they are talking about my boy Kane Pixels!
The Humane Hollywood write-up on Ben-Hur 2016 has some interesting details on how they filmed the chariot scenes without putting the horses in any danger.
VFX Artists React is like Top 3 Comfort Videos to watch while eating on my editing setup.🔥
Buster Keaton's The General also had a real train crashing into a valley, but that was priceless antique steamtrain.
So awesome to see @kanepixels here, he deserves way more recognition.
best ad segment yet!
(the rest was engaging too)
That noise was so satisfying, like a classic movie sound effect!
I was introduced to Kane Pixels via Wendigoon's stream channel Wendigang, and the comment "Mr. Oldest Hugs is gonna make you an Iceberg Man." will live in my head rent free forever. Followed closely by "He looks kind. Watch how kind he gets."
80's and 90's Creatures:
The Witches (1990) the witches, human/mouse hybrids.
Big Trouble in Little China (1987) hairy monster, floating eye creature, exploding man
For an interesting 80's camera shot:
Highlander (1986) the opening sequence at the wrestling event. Is a little how did they do that indoors in '86?
The werewolf in Ginger Snaps had some bonkers design choices
That sponsored segment was better than most recent scary movies... Nicely done guys!!! ❤ And as always... Great video! Lots of knowledge 🙇♂️😊
Animorphic shots with the swirly bokehs is making a huge wave in so much media. FX's Shogun series has a lot of shots with the swirling bokehs for their depth of field to help illustrate the protagonists disorientation of being in the new lands with new customs. There are also the large shots with curved edges around the screen for massive FOV's to illustrate the scope of the environment like the villages and the volume of different lives. It's so awesome to see the different lenses used for creative purposes. I've noticed in the trailers for Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, there are some swirly bokeh shots when an actor is focused center of the screen for a medium shot. There has been other recent works where I noticed the distorted bokeh shots are making a huge resurgence in creative storytelling.
I absolutely love your guys adds!
They are creative and fun. Keep it up.
Loving the channel too.
I do enjoy watching (for some reason) the TV mini series "The Langoliers" with some of the most top notch CGI effects. Plus it has Cousin Balky from Perfect Strangers
When the camera spun and Joran was there it was the most effective jump scare I've experienced in a long time.
Enemy Mine was a sci-fi 80s movie with special effects. Time Bandits also.
The trolls from Ernest Scared Stupid (1991) would be a good creature design to look at.
You guys make the best sponsoring sequences ever !
