VFX Artists React to Bad & Great CGi 119

That CGI Morbious shot was brutal. So much work and time and money just to be covered with dark fog

The Dracula effect is literally textbook 'Smoke & Mirrors'

I hope anyone who worked on Morbius can reach out. That was so painful seeing all of that impressive work covered in darkness.

I work on production in VFX and its SO sad to see the final shot from Morbius. I can only imagine how many MONTHS and hundreds of artists worked on that environment and look dev to then have it end up super dark and covered in smoke. That's something that really annoys me on the vfx pipeline - how much time we waste on first steps without an actual plan of how much will be visible at the end. With better planning things could go much faster, without wasting so many artist's time and talent...

The bollywood superman jumping through the window was the best thing I've seen for a while.

Fun fact: The guy playing the South Indian Superman is the grandfather of the guy who played Bheem in RRR. He was also one of the most influential Telugu actors who worked in 300+ movies during his career, and also served as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.

I’d love to see these guys touch on Annihilation. Whether it’s the bear scene, anything the lighthouse, or even just the shimmer itself. Gorgeous movie.

Finally, more morbius. Can't have a halloween special with morbin everywhere.

Imagine working for 3 months on this Morbius shot, only to watch the release year after and have your entire scene be 90% obscured

The green mist effect in Dracula is called a "Pepper's Ghost". It's an old practical effect that was used in theater, and has since been adopted in all types of media. Disney is using this exact technique to make the ghost appear in the Haunted Mansion ride.

Ghost Ship traumatised me as a kid. You guys reviewing that opening scene had me reliving my childhood terrors!

The reason his pants fell down is because he's wearing a traditional tuxedo that is held up by suspenders. Those trousers were higher waisted and so looser, sometimes coming up to the bottom of the ribs. If the suspenders are cut it's likely the pants would fall down.

Shaun of the dead is such amazing movie, can't never get tired of it

Mass respect to Mr. Coppola and all the people who figured out how to do Dracula without computer fx!

The beginning of Ghost Ship probably felt like Final Destination on a cruise ship. That would actually be a great setting for a Final Destination movie 🚢🛳🎥😱

The Shaun of the Dead effrct was covered on the DVD and bluray. In addition to what you guys figured out, there was another element that was just meat looking elements on a board on a screen so that's how you get the effect of her guts sliding back into the hole. Basically a guy lifting a board up against a green screen and meat falling in as its simulated being pulled off the pipe. Nothing major but it is another element to the shot

BRAM STOKER'S DRACULA is a masterpiece. So glad to see it getting represented!

I love when director said its morbin time and morbed all over the vfx shots that took 100s of hours to create.

FYI, N.T. Rama Rao's (The Superman guy) grandson NTR Jr. was one of the protagonists in RRR. Also, NT Rama Rao went on to become his state's chief minister in real life.😂😂😂

As south Indian myself, I can feel the passion of these 80's and 90's artists just wanting to do fun stuff without having any knowledge, tech or money to do so. And the people who only have access to these are gonna watch them. This is why family drama's and other similar grounded works have the higher popularity. But this early need for excitement lead to these unrealistic but exciting movies that kinda defined the action movie scene. I'm so happy to see you guys just having a good laugh at these... they paved the way to the current movie industries who can now make genuine movies and have a unique identity of being absurd
