Funnily enough The Nightmare Before Christmas actually wasn’t directed by Tim Burton. Burton wrote it and it’s clearly in his style but Henry Selick directed it. Poor dude never gets the credit.
Yeah, and there was tech to do frame grabs for animation playback but it was kind of rough looking. So often they would either set up peg-bars and sheets to trace over a videotap on a CRT monitor or just draw on the glass with erasable markers to visualize the previous frames. Or even simply using animation gauges to point out a single point in 3D space to keep track of how much it moved. Only time they got to see a full speed full quality playback would be after a day or two when rushes and dailies came back from the lab. Now, try to add multiple exposures to that mix and my mind would probably melt from all the variables that could go wrong and the time it would take to do reshoots...
You guys should compare the 3 versions of the Hulk over the last little while: Edward Norton, Mark Ruffalo, and Eric Bana. Maybe even a little Lou Ferrigno?
I read somewhere that Ang Lee wanted Hulk to be naked, cause pants don't stretch like that, but couldn't figure out a way to hide his Hulk dong without it being totally campy.
The most ethereal moment for me is when my friends and I decided to have a "Robin Williams Week" and screen his various films at our place for a... week. And the next week he was gone. We were all shocked in general, but it was doubly heartbreaking because of the eerie timing.
The introduction of Smaug from the second Hobbit movie literally blew my mind in the theater. A talking, huge mythical dragon was depicted exactly.. exactly how my mind imagined it. A film series that wasn’t great but to me that was the moment I thought with cgi that anything is possible
Who framed Roger rabbit was definitely mine. Holy smokes how the people interacted with the cartoons was something I had never seen before. I grabbed my mom, dad, my sister and brother to all hurry up and come see what I was seeing. Nobody was nearly as impressed but it really was groundbreaking for me. I still love that movie. After seeing all ur videos I can guess exactly how they did it
I hate to say it but I am glad he's off the show, always hated how he exclaimed he never watched the movie. It was a stark contrast to the other hosts.
Understandable in this case. It is harder to spot a remake IF they change the title. Another good example is the movie "The Private War of Major Benson" was renamed to.... "Major Paine".
they did mention that Nightmare Before Christmas was directed by the same director as James and the Giant Peach. Would've been nice if they mentioned his name though, especially since they mentioned Burton's
Actually, Burton didn't even write the screenplay, but he did come up with the story. I don't know if he just told them an idea and they went out and wrote it or if he wrote the story in a novel style and gave it to them to make into a screenplay. Anyways the point is that yeah Tim Burton isn't the mastermind that made that movie. It's the same thing with Coraline, I've met a lot of people who think it's directed by Burton too.
This is correct but to be fair, Tim Burton's style seeps through every single frame of the movie and the movie is even called Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas so it's understandable why people make that mistake
I think Robin's about the only person that doesn't. Every single time I think of him I always lament how sad it is that either he was unaware of just how much people loved him (and not in a fake way that people worship celebrity but in a sincere way, full of gratitude), or he was aware but just couldn't.....feel it, I guess? Or was ill equipped to receive it? I know depression takes a lot of forms, and for myself I remember as a teenage I always thought "man, I understand this world is wondrous and there's so much to be grateful for, and things like nature are beautiful and should be cherished, but i just can't make myself appreciate it the same way others can, it doesn't cause me to feel anything for it, even when I try and I'm out in the woods and I realize on paper that it's amazing, but...." It took me a long time to be able to spontaneously appreciate some of what's so fantastic about our planet, and I can't put into words how unfortunate it is that robin was never able to feel what he needed to for this one life we know of that we get to be worthwhile enough for him to stay. : (
The whole vfx artist reacts and animators reacts series proves how humans did the most meticulous/insane/impossible scenes possible , and people still doubt pyramid was not made by human.
@@littlebroman05 Heck no! Human ingenuity is outright amazing. The fact that we as a species have done amazing things hundreds, and thousands of years ago...lost to time, and then subsequently rediscovered...boggles the mind. Oh, and they used scaffolding to build the pyramids, along with paid labor.
I don't think there's a big overlap between people that think the pyramids weren't built by humans and people that understand how much work and dedication these VFX shots take.
yeah it's not like the whole interior and exterior were blueprinted, checked, rechecked, measured, and the stones weren't quarried, dragged, pulled, pushed, pulleyed, and slid up, down, and through to build for a god incarnated king or anything....it was ALIENS.....because we can't explain how they did it...
Robin Williams is one of the few "celebrity deaths" that really hurts for me. He's like cinema's whacky uncle, putting us on a rollercoaster of emotions, from depression and despair to childlike wonder and euphoria. This is a man who was himself to the end, and his unvarnished sense of self was a true treat for everyone, young and old around the world. I friggin miss him so much.
I never knew "The Absent Minded Professor" was a black and white film. As a kid I must have seen the colorized version. And Casper is a fricking masterpiece. Not only is it from a time when they clearly knew the limits of CGI and masterfully worked around these, it's just a great family movie.
"I never knew "The Absent Minded Professor" was a black and white film. " Yep, one of the first ones Disney colorized in 1986 to wring a few extra dollars out of the exploding VCR market.
The very first VFX that blew my mind was pretty much the entire movie- death becomes her. To me it was groundbreaking at the time. Holes in torsos, de-aging, backwards heads... I was amazed at the visuals.
"I miss Robin Williams." Me too. Every time I see his classic movies there's a little bit of sadness there. I don't normally get emotional over celebrity deaths, but losing Robin Williams feel like losing a family friend I grew up with.
X-Men: The Last Stand Logan going against Jean, losing skin and regenerating at the same time, I think that was the first one that got me absolutely impressed
@AT Productions Oh I'm not saying Burton didn't contribute, he clearly produced it and and it's his story and aesthetic, but Selick was there day in day out running the animation team.
@AT Productions still, Burton’s name being the main attraction on Selick’s movies is a travesty. He rarely gets credit and people don’t really know who he is. It’s so bad that most people think Coraline is a Tim Burton film, when Selick actually wrote, produced, and directed it with Burton’s involvement at all.
"I know it's Tim Burton" No it is not. This is a Henry Selick movie. The man who made Coraline. "Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas is the story it was based on" Not to be the WELL AYCKSHULLY guy. Selick just deserves the recognition. I'm sure Burton would have done just as well if he weren't so busy with other movies but Henry Selick deserves an apology and probably a settlement for how much he was buried in the advertising.
Tim burton is a hack imo I was a huge fan of his untill I researched his work, he did great things but he's way past what he used to be. He was busy directing batman when TNBC was being made. He was rarely in the studio, usually only there to take photos for marketing. He made the original short story yes, but the movie was definitely selick's then coraline came out without Tim Burton's involvement and it was so much more interesting than corpse bride imo. Edit: sorry for calling him a hack I just get a little angry when I think of how lame alice in wonderland was...
@@NoahC1718 He wasn't especially hands-off or anything as a producer but he was working on Batman Returns and Ed Wood as well as producing other projects. He was a very busy man in the early 90's. And for what it's worth the reason he wasn't more involved in this movie is because it took years to make.
First mind melting for me was the Enterprise leaving drydock in Star Trek: the Motion Picture. The model was breathtaking, the music was the sound of human aspiration, and the way the workers and the gantry moved and was photographed combined to form one of my first memories of watching anything on a screen.
I saw Empire in a local theater recently (I was the only person) and that scene, along with everything else, still holds up surprisingly well especially on the big screen. For me the first time I was amazed or even noticed vfx at all, was a small scene in Harry Potter 1, when Hagrid taps a brick wall and the bricks magically shift and rotate to reveal diagon alley. Out of all the fantastical effects I'd seen, that small moment was the first time I wondered how an effect was created. I wish they would talk about the HP films in this series, unless they have and I missed it?
The wolf and the swamp scene in Neverending story made me literally cry rivers when i was a child. This wolf haunted all my nightmares. Then it got replaced by the alien in Super 8.
Would love to see a breakdown of Star Trek VFX, how they changed from the original series to The next generation, Deep Space Nine....all the way to current series like Discovery and Picard
The first VFX shot that actually blew my mind as a kid was from the 1997 movie Contact. In the climax of the movie when Ellie gets sent through an Einstein Rosen Bridge, I remember being absolutely mesmerized. It was one of the few instances that I was truly captivated toward a movie and the scene where she gets downloaded into a fictional scene of Pensacola talking to the alien taking the form of her father really added that cherry on top of the cake for me.
“What Dream May Come” is a beautiful Robin Williams movie that’s vastly under rated and also has some mind blowing special effects. The actors really look like they were in a painting.
It is one of my absolute favorite Robin Williams movie. I can't watch it too often, because the subject matter is just so heavy and I always end up crying a lot. But it is also a very healing movie in a way, and I found it helpful to watch after Williams passing. I also agree with you on the special effects in that movie! So many moments stuck with me for a long time because they were just so well done and really immersed you into the movie and setting.
This is technically an animation, but the Guardians of Ga'Hoole ("Legends of the Guardians") movie was the first time I actually marveled at the visual effects of anything in film. Seeing it the first time in 3D even temporarily removed my fear of heights for some reason, so that was a nice bonus while it lasted.
@@Wyrmixx Yes. The actual title is Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. I remember an early scene in their nest where you could see dust and bits of feathers floating around in the sunlight streaming in. It was spectacular in 3D. It also had possibly the most amazing closing credits I've ever seen, where the screen looked like a scrim with cardboard cut-out puppets behind it, with their shadows falling on the scrim. Again, in 3D, it looked absolutely like there was fabric stretched over an opening in the theatre wall, with the puppets in an open space behind it. (I just checked my copy to make sure I was thinking of the right movie, and I had forgotten it was directed by Zack Snyder.)
It'd be interesting to do a stop-motion movie feature length of heaven for Hollywood types. And do replacement stop motion using 3D prints of all the facial formats of the characters that are all famous Hollywood folks that have passed away. So Robin Williams could visit the famous diner with Elvis and Marilyn Monroe and so forth.
Those scenes from Flubber warmed my heart so hard and made me smile through the hole segment. Robbin Williams had that charm to be fun and wholesome in every single shot in almost every movie he was. My chilhood... Man. The day he left us the world became a little bit less bright.
When Disney started redoing their movies, my parents had me watch the originals before the remakes. So we watched the Absent Minded Professor before Flubber. I do kinda like the originals over the remakes.
I don't miss him. I have always been disgusted with his face, voice, mannerisms. Everything about him had always been so fake and just nasty. I guess that in the end, he felt the same way.
@magnus smegberg If mr Rogers was the previous generation, Robin Williams was ours. However not to claim either one to a particular decade their message is still universal.
*Re:* _The first visual effect to blow my mind_ ─ *Ray Harryhausen's* skeleton warriors on *Jason and the Argonauts.* Although, as a kid in the 70s, I watched everything I could that *RH* touched. From *First Men in the Moon,* to *Mysterious Island* and the *Sinbad movies,* etc.
Yeah I'd have to agree, the Balrog was the first time in a CGI movie for me that broke the fake/real barrier, it seemed so real and vivid at the time. I was legitimately terrified of that thing (I was like 12 the first time I saw it), and even then it took a lot to scare me. I couldn't wrap my head around how they made it, that kind of CG just didn't exist up until that point.
specifically that shot of its head right at the beginning when it roars. The fire effect for its breath is STILL amazing by today's standards, especially on a good display...
As one who yearly goes to LOTR marathon on high quality cinema I'd have to say that the only thing that really stands out, even by today's standards, are the ragdoll physics during the huge battles. On the big cinema screen you can really spot the gamey weightless ragdoll physics which is quite hilarious, especially in the "riding down the Helm's Deep bridge" scene
The scene that blew my mind was when Optimus Prime first transforms in Transformers (2007). The Transformations and designs in those films were amazing. The CGI throughout the first 3 films blew my mind as a kid
It was actually based on an idea by Tim Burton in his childhood, so they put that on the poster, but then people saw the name and just assumed it was directed by him.
@@oliviasmith3503 Yeah it's a shame because James and the Giant Peach is great and Coraline is fantastic but get often confused for Tim Burton-directed films
It sucks that Selick isn’t a household name like Burton. Sure Burton came up with characters, designs, and sometimes story but Selick was the one doing the work on set. Because of Burton’s name getting slapped on everything, people think even Coraline had Burton’s involvement when it was actually Selick with LAIKA at the helm.
The movie "What Dreams May Come" with Robin Williams. Great CGI that won best visual effects in 1999. You guys NEED to check it out. The Painted world looks amazing. If you've never seen it I recommend it. His character is in heaven but his wife commits suicide and goes to Hell, so he goes there to save her. Lots of CGI
@@LilBeast226 You guys are definitely right about it being a fantastic looking movie, but *_damn_* it's hard to watch. I've _started_ to watch it more times than I can remember - I've made it all the way to the end exactly twice. Having said that, I'd love to see the kids discuss it.
@@TimWing23 The tears start about twenty five minutes in, and don't let up. It stirs up an awful lot of uncomfortably strong emotions, as well as some very old pain that I just can't shake. I think it's a *_great_* movie, skillfully and lovingly made, and with an uplifting story, but it does *_not_* make me feel good.
Legend of a film. One of the most iconic films, I got to watch as a kid, during my childhood, on cassete, and still happy to see I still have that cassete. A truly classic film, worth watching, especially with it's storyline, comedy and the legendary Robin Williams. Such a shame they don't make movies like this anymore, and that we lost Robin so young yet. This film, will always be a classic, and one of the most underrated classics there is, especially with Disney. How I miss these days man.
Corridor, would you guys ever consider doing a "remake" of Birdemic, where it actually has the VFX and maybe the acting caliber that it deserves? XD Like a trailer for it. I'd be so down to see how you guys would give it a modern day treatment.
The first scene that ever shocked me was the ending fight scene in the first pirates of the Caribbean movie between Jack Sparrow and Barbossa. Like... how did they switch between skeleton and flesh so smoothly
They should do that one just because it was fairly groundbreaking for it’s time and was the first time I heard lots of people talking about the “uncanny valley”
The first time I saw it I had walked in to my parents watching it on T.V. I at first thought the people were real. Then I kept watching a bit and realized they weren't. The movie was awesome. Shame it sold so poorly.
For me it was that one, and then right after the first short from Animatrix. Neither I nor my family could tell if it was animated or not, we debated it with eachother at length.
The making behind the never ending is actually really messed up, with the kid who played atreyu being hospitalized because of that stunt they made him do in the swamp of sadness without a stunt double or any real safety precautions. It's definitely worth looking at.
I was 13 when I saw the orginal "Star Wars" movie in the theater, and I still remember how blown away I was when the Star Destroyer passed over during the opening scene.
I was 6 when i Saw star wars for the first time. I watched attack of the clones on the cinema and the geonosis Battle blew my mind. That year my birthday was a set of the 6 movies and i enjoyed them all🤣🤣
@@eliminator173 🤔🤔🤔 now that you say it... 🤣🤣🤣 My mind slipped and the set of movies was a present after the revenge of the sith came out. It was a long time ago okay...🤣🤣🤣🤣
You guys should react to the movie “Kung Fury”, it's a really weird self aware Swedish indie movie that has some good cgi. Would love to see you guys reacting to it!
Omg me too! Fucking incredible. I also loved when Bonecrusher blew through that bus. That was my favorite movie when I was a kid, and still probably makes my top 5 today. So visually impressive, I wish the crew would do a vfx artists react vid about transformers
It’s pretty remarkable, looking at the progression from the first transformers to the most recent. I just want to see a BTS regarding how they went about modeling and rigging the vehicles for the transformations. That shit is absolutely insane with all the moving parts
Okay I absolutely loved every single movie they talked about this episode. I used to watch Casper, Flubber, and Nightmare before Christmas on VHS every single day when I was a kid!!!
Star Wars. Seeing that in cinema was something. Actually seeing the effects for the Death Star attack on an educational science programme in the UK called "Tomorrow's World" in 1977/8 are still one of my most vivid memories.
I swear, is Niko just the resident VFX historian of this group? How did the other guys not grow up learning about a lot of this stuff as well. We all binged the same Matrix, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars documentaries, right?
@Kuroko Now that makes sense. If whoever's presenting the clips did research prior to the recording in order to inform the others and us, then that would explain part of it. I just find it funny that Niko also seems to usually be the one who is either the most knowledgeable, or is usually the one who presents the material.
For the record (someone has probably mentioned this but its something Im passionate about) Tim Burton was only the //producer// for Nightmare Before Christmas. He wrote the poem from which the script was adapted and did the character designs, but if I remember correctly he was only involved in the actual filmmaking process for 2 days or so, as he was working on Batman Returns at that point. The director and creative genius behind the actual FILM was Henry Selick, a master of his craft when it comes to stop motion. And he DID in fact do James and the Giant Peach. He also did Coraline. Stop motion is such a labor of love and it is a dying art form and Selick kept it alive in the 90s and its beautiful. Burton attempted to steal Selick's success with Corpse Bride, but stop motion has never been Burton's strong suit and it felt like a pale imitation.
Tim Burton created the design & personality for all of the characters & laid out the basic concept of the plot. He's the foundation of the movie in the same way that Notch is the foundation of Minecraft.
@@LikaLaruku But an idea is never achieved until it is executed. Burton came up with the Basic idea of TNCB, yes, but Selick was the one who fleshed it out by monitoring the screenplay, guiding the animators, and making sure the final cut was able to be released to the world. That's what a directors job is and you can't have a great movie without a great director making sure everything fits together. The reason I disagree with Burton being the foundation like Notch is that Notch was heavily involved with developing Minecraft up till 2014 where Burton just let Selick and his crew do all the heavy lifting and got all of that credit when it released which Disney continues to encourage even today because marketing.
Most of the animators had just finished GUMBY: THE MOVIE and immediately went to NIGHTMARE (director Henry Selick had also worked for the Gumby 80s series, as well as animated for Disney)
When Clint said "I want those" referring to the nightmare before christmas heads, I'm 99% sure that Laika sold their Boxtrolls or Kubo and the two strings replacement animations heads at one point. Looking at their store currently they're selling 1 single kubo faceplate in a little display box for $800 a piece :'D
I know,. Some dude said something along the lines of "Coronavirus is only over if your a republican, so they're okay" Don't know why he made it that way so....
When I was 5 my dad was super excited to take me to see "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" because of a mind-blowing shot he saw in the trailer, where Robin shoots an arrow through the forest as if the camera was mounted to the arrow until it hits another arrow already stuck in the tree & splits it in half. .it was indeed the first mind-blowing VFX I ever remember. 😲 .

It's impressive yet also sad, because it was just seen as kind of a nonsense "Robin Williams picture" and didn't really get much attention.
@@Jabroniville To be fair, it was pretty nonsensical and definitely on the bottom tier of Robin’s movies.
Funnily enough The Nightmare Before Christmas actually wasn’t directed by Tim Burton. Burton wrote it and it’s clearly in his style but Henry Selick directed it. Poor dude never gets the credit.
I just asked that haha.
I thought it was a woman who wrote TNBC.
They sort of acknowledged that though when they noted it was the same director from James and the Giant Peach.
Caroline Thompson wrote the screenplay based on Tim Burton’s story.
It’s hard to tell sometimes when it’s Burton and when it’s Selick.
Fun fact: the first stop motion film to use digital camera’s and not film was The Corpse Bride (2005)
wow imagine how expensive it was to develop the film before digital technology took over
Yeah, and there was tech to do frame grabs for animation playback but it was kind of rough looking. So often they would either set up peg-bars and sheets to trace over a videotap on a CRT monitor or just draw on the glass with erasable markers to visualize the previous frames. Or even simply using animation gauges to point out a single point in 3D space to keep track of how much it moved. Only time they got to see a full speed full quality playback would be after a day or two when rushes and dailies came back from the lab.

The most ethereal moment for me is when my friends and I decided to have a "Robin Williams Week" and screen his various films at our place for a... week. And the next week he was gone. We were all shocked in general, but it was doubly heartbreaking because of the eerie timing.
The introduction of Smaug from the second Hobbit movie literally blew my mind in the theater. A talking, huge mythical dragon was depicted exactly.. exactly how my mind imagined it. A film series that wasn’t great but to me that was the moment I thought with cgi that anything is possible
The intro scene of Star Wars episode III: Revenge Of The Sith absolutely blew my mind when I saw it for the first time.
**BOOM** **BOOM** ... **BOOM** **BOOM** ... **BOOM** **BOOM** ...
Who framed Roger rabbit was definitely mine. Holy smokes how the people interacted with the cartoons was something I had never seen before. I grabbed my mom, dad, my sister and brother to all hurry up and come see what I was seeing. Nobody was nearly as impressed but it really was groundbreaking for me. I still love that movie. After seeing all ur videos I can guess exactly how they did it
That's a sign of you being more knowledgeable about VFX than your family b/c that movie was actually groundbreaking for cinema.
Big tiddy red haired girl.. We had different takeaways
It was your... what?
@@luizmarinho6138 6:08
Same brooo
can’t believe Clint just asked someone else if they’ve never seen a movie... of all people
I hate to say it but I am glad he's off the show, always hated how he exclaimed he never watched the movie. It was a stark contrast to the other hosts.
Understandable in this case. It is harder to spot a remake IF they change the title.
Another good example is the movie "The Private War of Major Benson" was renamed to....
"Major Paine".
Flubber was always so magic to me as a kid, and hearing those SFX brought back some feels. Insane that it's a remake
I wished they talked about the scene where Jack Skellington is reaching for the doorknob, and you can see his reflection on the doorknob.
It practical, he and the door knob r real so the reflection is real.
Stop motion isn't cg
Yeah was gonna say, it's cool but it's just a real reflection.
The point was, how they removed the camera in the doorknob shot. Cameras show up in mirrors they are not vampires...
It seems like everyone is oblivious to the fact that Nightmare Before Christmas was written by Burton, but directed by Henry Selick.
they did mention that Nightmare Before Christmas was directed by the same director as James and the Giant Peach. Would've been nice if they mentioned his name though, especially since they mentioned Burton's
Burton didn't even write the movie, he wrote the original story/poem. It's basically his own idea but he was just a producer there.
yeah, cuz we all watched it when we were kids. calm down
Actually, Burton didn't even write the screenplay, but he did come up with the story. I don't know if he just told them an idea and they went out and wrote it or if he wrote the story in a novel style and gave it to them to make into a screenplay. Anyways the point is that yeah Tim Burton isn't the mastermind that made that movie. It's the same thing with Coraline, I've met a lot of people who think it's directed by Burton too.
This is correct but to be fair, Tim Burton's style seeps through every single frame of the movie and the movie is even called Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas so it's understandable why people make that mistake
0:40
Common mistake: Tim Burton didn't direct Nightmare, Henry Selick did (Coraline director)
It was actually Tim Burton’s monster
@@enricotruffi5778 he created the idea and begrudge produced but didn't direct it
Coraline is a significantly better film in just about every regard in my opinion
"I miss Robin Williams"
I think the whole world misses Robin Williams
I don't.
The whole world does, except for this guy above. Y'know because he's edgy, and really needs attention.
@@miskatonic6210 aw, need attention bud?
I think Robin's about the only person that doesn't. Every single time I think of him I always lament how sad it is that either he was unaware of just how much people loved him (and not in a fake way that people worship celebrity but in a sincere way, full of gratitude), or he was aware but just couldn't.....feel it, I guess? Or was ill equipped to receive it?
I know depression takes a lot of forms, and for myself I remember as a teenage I always thought "man, I understand this world is wondrous and there's so much to be grateful for, and things like nature are beautiful and should be cherished, but i just can't make myself appreciate it the same way others can, it doesn't cause me to feel anything for it, even when I try and I'm out in the woods and I realize on paper that it's amazing, but...."
It took me a long time to be able to spontaneously appreciate some of what's so fantastic about our planet, and I can't put into words how unfortunate it is that robin was never able to feel what he needed to for this one life we know of that we get to be worthwhile enough for him to stay. : (
@Sinister Shrink
We all do, sir.
"Flubber is a remake?"
lol Wren's world shatters right before his eyes.

That definitely hit me... HARD
The whole vfx artist reacts and animators reacts series proves how humans did the most meticulous/insane/impossible scenes possible , and people still doubt pyramid was not made by human.
Hey...Hey! Dropping truth bombs like that are going to confuse people. ;)
are you trying to say the pyramids were built by aliens?
@@littlebroman05 Heck no! Human ingenuity is outright amazing. The fact that we as a species have done amazing things hundreds, and thousands of years ago...lost to time, and then subsequently rediscovered...boggles the mind.
Oh, and they used scaffolding to build the pyramids, along with paid labor.
I don't think there's a big overlap between people that think the pyramids weren't built by humans and people that understand how much work and dedication these VFX shots take.
yeah it's not like the whole interior and exterior were blueprinted, checked, rechecked, measured, and the stones weren't quarried, dragged, pulled, pushed, pulleyed, and slid up, down, and through to build for a god incarnated king or anything....it was ALIENS.....because we can't explain how they did it...
Robin Williams is one of the few "celebrity deaths" that really hurts for me. He's like cinema's whacky uncle, putting us on a rollercoaster of emotions, from depression and despair to childlike wonder and euphoria. This is a man who was himself to the end, and his unvarnished sense of self was a true treat for everyone, young and old around the world. I friggin miss him so much.
"the theme this year is Halloween"
never has a misspeak been so accurate
I never knew "The Absent Minded Professor" was a black and white film. As a kid I must have seen the colorized version. And Casper is a fricking masterpiece. Not only is it from a time when they clearly knew the limits of CGI and masterfully worked around these, it's just a great family movie.
I remember watching this on the Disney channel. Back when they used to air all sorts of great movies.
"I never knew "The Absent Minded Professor" was a black and white film. "
Yep, one of the first ones Disney colorized in 1986 to wring a few extra dollars out of the exploding VCR market.
There is actually a sequel to the original "Absent Minded Professor" called "Son of Flubber"
I miss films where CGI was an "as needed" concept versus a selling point.
@@LizChanFish same, & I also miss where the "Trailer" or "Content" sold the excitement for the movie not just "who's in it".
The first VFX shot that blew my mind is The Wachowskis “Speed Racer”, the final race scene
YES!
That stuff was like looking through a kaleidoscope, it was super trippy
That movie feels like a fever dream and it's great.
I never knew that people will agree on my comment on how amazing it was. I was 5 years old back when I watched the movie, it really blew my mind
I hope they will react to it soon
The very first VFX that blew my mind was pretty much the entire movie- death becomes her. To me it was groundbreaking at the time. Holes in torsos, de-aging, backwards heads... I was amazed at the visuals.
"I miss Robin Williams."
Me too. Every time I see his classic movies there's a little bit of sadness there. I don't normally get emotional over celebrity deaths, but losing Robin Williams feel like losing a family friend I grew up with.
X-Men: The Last Stand
Logan going against Jean, losing skin and regenerating at the same time, I think that was the first one that got me absolutely impressed
Shutout to *Henry Selick* who actually directed Nightmare Before Christmas, while everybody's been crediting Burton for 20+ years.
@AT Productions Oh I'm not saying Burton didn't contribute, he clearly produced it and and it's his story and aesthetic, but Selick was there day in day out running the animation team.
@AT Productions still, Burton’s name being the main attraction on Selick’s movies is a travesty. He rarely gets credit and people don’t really know who he is. It’s so bad that most people think Coraline is a Tim Burton film, when Selick actually wrote, produced, and directed it with Burton’s involvement at all.
God, seeing Nightmare Before Christmas, Casper, and Flubber are really awakening old memories.
"I know it's Tim Burton"
No it is not. This is a Henry Selick movie. The man who made Coraline.
"Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas is the story it was based on"
Not to be the WELL AYCKSHULLY guy. Selick just deserves the recognition.
I'm sure Burton would have done just as well if he weren't so busy with other movies but Henry Selick deserves an apology and probably a settlement for how much he was buried in the advertising.
It’s Tim Burton’s movie. Selick directed. It’s just as much Tim’s movie as Henry’s.
Just about to say this..lol
Tim burton helped make coraline nightmare before Christmas. I learned it in art
Tim burton is a hack imo I was a huge fan of his untill I researched his work, he did great things but he's way past what he used to be. He was busy directing batman when TNBC was being made. He was rarely in the studio, usually only there to take photos for marketing. He made the original short story yes, but the movie was definitely selick's then coraline came out without Tim Burton's involvement and it was so much more interesting than corpse bride imo.
Edit: sorry for calling him a hack I just get a little angry when I think of how lame alice in wonderland was...
@@NoahC1718 He wasn't especially hands-off or anything as a producer but he was working on Batman Returns and Ed Wood as well as producing other projects.
He was a very busy man in the early 90's. And for what it's worth the reason he wasn't more involved in this movie is because it took years to make.
Suggestion: do bad and great Harry Potter CGI, if you haven’t done some scenes already.
I just made a comment about this. I want to see them compare dobby from the chamber of secrets to dobby from the deathly hallows.
@Relentless rage yeah, or the face transformation scene from chamber of secrets. That’s some good stuff!
Yes! The troll in first movie looks terrible! Especially when Harry and Ron’s CGI dummies are on it!
Was just about to comment this. I would love that.
THEY HAVEN’T!!!! They totally should
"The theme this year is Halloween"
*I mean, it has been a nightmare so far...*
😂 😂 😂
“Love, death and robots” on netflix was awesome!
Yes, it was and I love every episode and how every episode looks different and I’m sure they used multiple tactics and animation!
First mind melting for me was the Enterprise leaving drydock in Star Trek: the Motion Picture. The model was breathtaking, the music was the sound of human aspiration, and the way the workers and the gantry moved and was photographed combined to form one of my first memories of watching anything on a screen.
The Asteroid Field Scene from The Empire Strikes Back always blew my mind.
Dude YES
Wasnt expecting you here
Yes
I saw Empire in a local theater recently (I was the only person) and that scene, along with everything else, still holds up surprisingly well especially on the big screen. For me the first time I was amazed or even noticed vfx at all, was a small scene in Harry Potter 1, when Hagrid taps a brick wall and the bricks magically shift and rotate to reveal diagon alley. Out of all the fantastical effects I'd seen, that small moment was the first time I wondered how an effect was created. I wish they would talk about the HP films in this series, unless they have and I missed it?
Did you know that 1 of the Asteroids is a potato.
The wolf and the swamp scene in Neverending story made me literally cry rivers when i was a child. This wolf haunted all my nightmares. Then it got replaced by the alien in Super 8.
Would love to see a breakdown of Star Trek VFX, how they changed from the original series to The next generation, Deep Space Nine....all the way to current series like Discovery and Picard
It's obvious the Neverending Story movie is a psychological horror.
This comment is *CRIMINALLY* underrated.
Im sorry but
CORALINE
Its still friggin PG, what the hell! Its terrifying that movie ended me as a child, and i do not plan to watch it again
I watched it at a sleepover when I was little. I ended up going home lol
Lol, I don't think I ever saw it all
RIP Robin Williams

@@Isaia2008 you lived under a stone? Poor robin. I watched "What dreams may come" so often
Ily
Pretty rich of Clint to be questioning that Wren hasn’t seen a particular movie before!
The first VFX shot that actually blew my mind as a kid was from the 1997 movie Contact. In the climax of the movie when Ellie gets sent through an Einstein Rosen Bridge, I remember being absolutely mesmerized. It was one of the few instances that I was truly captivated toward a movie and the scene where she gets downloaded into a fictional scene of Pensacola talking to the alien taking the form of her father really added that cherry on top of the cake for me.
“What Dream May Come” is a beautiful Robin Williams movie that’s vastly under rated and also has some mind blowing special effects. The actors really look like they were in a painting.
It is one of my absolute favorite Robin Williams movie. I can't watch it too often, because the subject matter is just so heavy and I always end up crying a lot. But it is also a very healing movie in a way, and I found it helpful to watch after Williams passing. I also agree with you on the special effects in that movie! So many moments stuck with me for a long time because they were just so well done and really immersed you into the movie and setting.
This is technically an animation, but the Guardians of Ga'Hoole ("Legends of the Guardians") movie was the first time I actually marveled at the visual effects of anything in film. Seeing it the first time in 3D even temporarily removed my fear of heights for some reason, so that was a nice bonus while it lasted.
@James Owen They were the beeeest. Started looking for them again after I made the comment, might give them a good ol' look-through again
Is that the movie with owls?
Same ngl
@@Wyrmixx
Yes. The actual title is Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole. I remember an early scene in their nest where you could see dust and bits of feathers floating around in the sunlight streaming in. It was spectacular in 3D. It also had possibly the most amazing closing credits I've ever seen, where the screen looked like a scrim with cardboard cut-out puppets behind it, with their shadows falling on the scrim. Again, in 3D, it looked absolutely like there was fabric stretched over an opening in the theatre wall, with the puppets in an open space behind it. (I just checked my copy to make sure I was thinking of the right movie, and I had forgotten it was directed by Zack Snyder.)
“The Nightmare Before Christmas” was actually not directed by Tim Burton, just produced by him. The director was actually Henry Sellick.
I jumped when he said "I know it's Tim Burton"

It'd be interesting to do a stop-motion movie feature length of heaven for Hollywood types. And do replacement stop motion using 3D prints of all the facial formats of the characters that are all famous Hollywood folks that have passed away. So Robin Williams could visit the famous diner with Elvis and Marilyn Monroe and so forth.
Christina Ricci woohoo liked her back in the day.
@@americannomadnews5370 wow, yeah we’ll see then
Those scenes from Flubber warmed my heart so hard and made me smile through the hole segment. Robbin Williams had that charm to be fun and wholesome in every single shot in almost every movie he was. My chilhood... Man. The day he left us the world became a little bit less bright.
When Disney started redoing their movies, my parents had me watch the originals before the remakes. So we watched the Absent Minded Professor before Flubber.
I do kinda like the originals over the remakes.

Yeah!! They should
They should just redo all of it and make it look good
Yes, a 'fix the birdemic CGI ' challenge
*Re:* _The first visual effect to blow my mind_ ─ *Ray Harryhausen's* skeleton warriors on *Jason and the Argonauts.* Although, as a kid in the 70s, I watched everything I could that *RH* touched. From *First Men in the Moon,* to *Mysterious Island* and the *Sinbad movies,* etc.
Good pick. I was born in the 90's and I still find that stop motion stuff mind-blowing.
I'm a 2000's kid and my dad showed me that and it still blew my mind.
The Balrog in the Fellowship of the Ring broke my brain in theaters.
Yeah I'd have to agree, the Balrog was the first time in a CGI movie for me that broke the fake/real barrier, it seemed so real and vivid at the time. I was legitimately terrified of that thing (I was like 12 the first time I saw it), and even then it took a lot to scare me. I couldn't wrap my head around how they made it, that kind of CG just didn't exist up until that point.
I wish I could have seen that in the theater.. still one of the best vfx shots of all time in my opinion
specifically that shot of its head right at the beginning when it roars. The fire effect for its breath is STILL amazing by today's standards, especially on a good display...
As one who yearly goes to LOTR marathon on high quality cinema I'd have to say that the only thing that really stands out, even by today's standards, are the ragdoll physics during the huge battles. On the big cinema screen you can really spot the gamey weightless ragdoll physics which is quite hilarious, especially in the "riding down the Helm's Deep bridge" scene
The whole Moria seqment was serious case of smart film making.
Amazing combination of real elements, visual and special fx.
The scene that blew my mind was when Optimus Prime first transforms in Transformers (2007). The Transformations and designs in those films were amazing. The CGI throughout the first 3 films blew my mind as a kid
Same, my 8 year old brain was going crazy seeing that in the theaters for the first time.
The Nightmare before Christmas is a Henry Selick and Danny Elfman movie, just so you know!!!

Nightmare before Christmas and James and the giant peach DID have the same director, Henry Selick
Nightmare before Christmas is actually by Henry selick they just slapped Tim Burton’s name on it to draw people in
I mean, it worked
It was actually based on an idea by Tim Burton in his childhood, so they put that on the poster, but then people saw the name and just assumed it was directed by him.
@@oliviasmith3503 Yeah it's a shame because James and the Giant Peach is great and Coraline is fantastic but get often confused for Tim Burton-directed films
It sucks that Selick isn’t a household name like Burton. Sure Burton came up with characters, designs, and sometimes story but Selick was the one doing the work on set.
Because of Burton’s name getting slapped on everything, people think even Coraline had Burton’s involvement when it was actually Selick with LAIKA at the helm.
@@kerobop yes! I love selicks films but everyone thinks I'm a tim burton fan because they don't know the difference
The movie "What Dreams May Come" with Robin Williams. Great CGI that won best visual effects in 1999. You guys NEED to check it out. The Painted world looks amazing.

Legend of a film. One of the most iconic films, I got to watch as a kid, during my childhood, on cassete, and still happy to see I still have that cassete. A truly classic film, worth watching, especially with it's storyline, comedy and the legendary Robin Williams. Such a shame they don't make movies like this anymore, and that we lost Robin so young yet. This film, will always be a classic, and one of the most underrated classics there is, especially with Disney. How I miss these days man.
Frighteners - the movie that gave Peter Jackson the SFX setup he'd need to create Lord Of The Rings - also still a great flick - Worth the deep dive!
Great film!
Many of the effects are dated (still good though), but the 'friendly ghost' stuff was uniformly great and still holds up brilliantly today.
Corridor, would you guys ever consider doing a "remake" of Birdemic, where it actually has the VFX and maybe the acting caliber that it deserves? XD Like a trailer for it. I'd be so down to see how you guys would give it a modern day treatment.
Oh, I'm with you. When the crew corrects a shot deemed bad, that's so satisfying to my curiosity

The first time I saw it I had walked in to my parents watching it on T.V. I at first thought the people were real. Then I kept watching a bit and realized they weren't. The movie was awesome. Shame it sold so poorly.
For me it was that one, and then right after the first short from Animatrix. Neither I nor my family could tell if it was animated or not, we debated it with eachother at length.
The making behind the never ending is actually really messed up, with the kid who played atreyu being hospitalized because of that stunt they made him do in the swamp of sadness without a stunt double or any real safety precautions. It's definitely worth looking at.

I was already an adult when all those came out >
It's actually a filmmaking technique called audience surrogate. Considering the channel, I'm pretty confident they're doing that on purpose.
@Kuroko he also might do some deep research on what he knows is interesting but knows little
The other guys are like 10yrs younger than Niko
@Kuroko Now that makes sense. If whoever's presenting the clips did research prior to the recording in order to inform the others and us, then that would explain part of it. I just find it funny that Niko also seems to usually be the one who is either the most knowledgeable, or is usually the one who presents the material.
For the record (someone has probably mentioned this but its something Im passionate about) Tim Burton was only the //producer// for Nightmare Before Christmas. He wrote the poem from which the script was adapted and did the character designs, but if I remember correctly he was only involved in the actual filmmaking process for 2 days or so, as he was working on Batman Returns at that point. The director and creative genius behind the actual FILM was Henry Selick, a master of his craft when it comes to stop motion. And he DID in fact do James and the Giant Peach. He also did Coraline.
Stop motion is such a labor of love and it is a dying art form and Selick kept it alive in the 90s and its beautiful. Burton attempted to steal Selick's success with Corpse Bride, but stop motion has never been Burton's strong suit and it felt like a pale imitation.
Yes! Always rubs me the wrong way when people call Nightmare before Christmas a Burton movie
Tim Burton created the design & personality for all of the characters & laid out the basic concept of the plot. He's the foundation of the movie in the same way that Notch is the foundation of Minecraft.
@@LikaLaruku But an idea is never achieved until it is executed. Burton came up with the Basic idea of TNCB, yes, but Selick was the one who fleshed it out by monitoring the screenplay, guiding the animators, and making sure the final cut was able to be released to the world. That's what a directors job is and you can't have a great movie without a great director making sure everything fits together. The reason I disagree with Burton being the foundation like Notch is that Notch was heavily involved with developing Minecraft up till 2014 where Burton just let Selick and his crew do all the heavy lifting and got all of that credit when it released which Disney continues to encourage even today because marketing.
Most of the animators had just finished GUMBY: THE MOVIE and immediately went to NIGHTMARE (director Henry Selick had also worked for the Gumby 80s series, as well as animated for Disney)
Yeah I grew up on Gumby. He's a superhero! Thanks I didn't know that there's a movie.

When Clint said "I want those" referring to the nightmare before christmas heads, I'm 99% sure that Laika sold their Boxtrolls or Kubo and the two strings replacement animations heads at one point.
Looking at their store currently they're selling 1 single kubo faceplate in a little display box for $800 a piece :'D
Kubo is such a good movie, I'd like to see them go over the making of it.

When I was 5 my dad was super excited to take me to see "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves" because of a mind-blowing shot he saw in the trailer, where Robin shoots an arrow through the forest as if the camera was mounted to the arrow until it hits another arrow already stuck in the tree & splits it in half. .it was indeed the first mind-blowing VFX I ever remember. 😲 .
