VFX Artists React to Bad & Great CGi 8

Not seeing Intersteller in theatres will be one of the biggest regrets of my life.

When they explained how Interstellar VFX created the Black Hole, it legit blew my mind.

I watched interstellar without knowing anything about it. I didn't know it was a Christopher Nolan movie, I had not seen the trailers. Can you imagine my awe? I couldn't believe what I was watching, and after the last scene and the credits rolled I must admit I cried a little... I can't really describe the experience.

"That's insane, that that is basically math". That shows how far cg has come. When I did my degree late 90s, all cg was math

Watches interstellar once Me : you know I’m something of a scientist myself

Movie men: the program isn’t working the black hole has this weird halo affect Physicist: at last I’ve achieved understanding

If you want insane camera movement you can look at Limitless; that movie has some sick transitions throught the city. Also, Black Manta fight in Aquaman has a long sequence moving all around the scene showing several fights in real time. Underrated movies.

I love how they're like "you can't take pictures of a black hole" and then they took a picture of a black hole like a short time later. EDIT: 10 months later and people are still going "Um AcTUaLly..." Guys, I know, you can't take a picture of something that doesn't let light escape. But it was still a huge discovery which wasn't even expected to be possible and which was still pulled off by a bunch of clever as heck people. It's funny to see something like that just after you hear something like this in a youtube video. Can you all stop bitching now? You're cluttering up my notifications with the same thing over and over.

CGI in film is only about 35 years old. Imagine the future.

“it’s a black hole. you can’t photograph it” well that didn’t age well

Something I love about interstellar is that for that simulation no one knew it would like that. Like yeah, physicists knew that black holes had dilation and gravitional lensing, but no one knew you would be able to see the other side of the accretion disc. Everyone thought it would be a disc going around this pitch black sphere and that was it. They're not kidding when they say that the movie spawned 2 research papers, they may have found it by accident but it surprised scientists while simultaneously making things click

When Niko said that everything was hand tracked, I felt Clint’s reaction. Stress, exasperation. It’s like a thousand yard stare for VFX artists.

I'm going to render a black hole. "But Cooper it's not possible." "No. It's necessary."

Watch monster scene Australian guy: yeah we actually have this back in our backyard

God, the lego movie looks so good. My favorite bit about that opening sequence when the Main Character opens his eyes is the light contrast on the "paint" on his face. If you look closely, the. Circumference of the eyes have different levels of light based on the distance from the light source, and because of that, it helps you see that the "painted" on features of the lego head are slightly raised off the plastic. As someone who grew up with legos, it just adds to the realism.

The gravitational lensing effect is so insane. My mind recoils in absolute primal terror every time I watch Interstellar, its all just so completely and utterly unfathomable.

Shark Boy and Lava Girl needs to be analyzed for its VFX perfection

The funny thing about interstellar is that people on the internet where still like "it doesn't work like that"

Holy shit Niko! At 14:37 when you make sure you're understanding the lensing property of black holes properly, you are spot on. Like exactly. That is exactly, to a T, what is happening and I cannot believe you just....guessed that.
