Corridor Crew- One of my favorite Youtube Channels

 As someone who wants to get into the world of computer graphics and design, I like to look into an watch videos as to how certain VFX on movies or shows are made. Particuarly so I can hear the artists, animators and filmmakers talk about the process and how they crafted it. 

So when I came upon a Youtube channel devoted to talking, critiquing, and creating VFX I was stoked to find something so catered towards to me. The channel is called "Corridor Crew".

Corridor Crew is a team of friends who also happen to be professional artists, animators, and filmmakers who specialize in CG and VFX work. 

Their channel has a wide variety of videos ranging from talking about the CG work in both new and old movies, looking at stunt work, or using their skills and VFX professionals to do whatever they wish. Such as making a video on simulating the house from Pixar's "UP"  with real life physics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZsp1tgXkUI

They've also done videos where they try to improve the VFX of current movies or shows. Like a video they made doing their own take on a young Luke Skywalker from The Madalorian that is leaps and bounds above what the show did: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=861gfPVmgdc

My favorite video from them HAS to be "World's BIGGEST Domino Run". A self explanatory vide where they do a giant domino run pushed to the extreme using CG and VFX they made themselves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsF_NCadi9c

The video is SO much fun to watch and really shows how talented these guys are and how much they know about CG and VFX. I always look forward to whenever they upload a new video or are able to work a project.

Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Trailer

As someone who did a previous post on why the movie redesign for Sonic The Hedgehog was much needed, It amazes me how far the movie has come. This went from a film being widely hated due to the design and was being anticipated to be a complete failure as well another punch in the gut for Sonic's history to being one of the few good video game based movies and one of the few examples of the people behind a major movie actually listening to feedback from fans of the property.  It's because of the fact that they listened that the film was as successful as it was at the box office and now has just released the trailer for the sequel that, in a big way, promises to give fans of Sonic what they want to see.  While I liked the first Sonic movie and really appreciated the fact that the crew involved redesigned the character, I couldn't say that I "loved" the movie or consider it to be the high point for video game film adaptations. I felt that title still goes to Detectiv...

The Witness and Alberto Mieglo

 One of my favorite shows streaming on Netflix right now is called "Love Death and Robots"  The show, which was originally meant to be a remake of the 1981 anthology film "Heavy Metal", is an adult anthology show consisting of several animated shorts spread across each season. Each short ranges in style and tone but the overall theme of all of the shorts goes back to the title.  I remember watching the first season of the show back when it premiered in 2019. While I loved majority of the shorts, one of them that really stood out to me, visually at least, was the third short of season one: "The Witness".  "The Witness" is a thriller following a woman who witnesses a murder and is spotted by the killer. She is then pursued through the streets of Tokyo as she attempts to escape the killer.  Once separates this short from the others in that season is the distinctive style. The art style is done completely in CG and looks very much like something out ...

The Opening Of Every Animated Movie (Exposition Song)

Image
Just recently I posted about my appreciation for Kevin Temmer and his work.  Well, in addition to his video "What's the matter Martha?", my second favorite video from him is a song that addresses how most animated features tend to start simply titled Exposition Song. Temmer hilariously makes fun of how most animated features tell rather than show and does it via a CG character that has a flat, 2D look to them. Temmer also uploaded his behind the scenes process of crafting this video  and getting the character at a certain angle so he could animate.  Link to video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ffLIJrYEJ8 Link to behind the scenes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV-QCIwvbDg
