Get some cool drag & drop VFX here! ► https://www.famefocus.com/go/getvfx/ ◄ Have you ever wondered why some VFX in older movies, like for example this shot in Pirates of the Caribbean 3 , look far better than the ones in newer, more modern movies, like this one in Black Panther? Even despite the technology being a lot more advanced nowadays, we still often see big Hollywood movies with crummy looking CGI that almost seems as though it's been stuck on with old duct tape as an after thought.

If you buy something through them, nothing changes for you, but you support my work. But, there is actually a very good reason for this and the VFX companies aren't actually to blame for it either. You see, of course, VFX technology has its limitations, and any director or VFX supervisor who respects this, also knows that the best visual effects happen when you use practical effects as the base and digital effects to enhance and augment that base. This is true for three main reasons which were beautifully demonstrated in Pirates of the Caribbean 3 At Worlds End. 1, Grounding If we see something in a shot that is obviously real, it makes it easier for us to accept something within that same shot that may not be so. For example, before the Endeavour gets destroyed, this shot makes us believe that it's being sandwiched between the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman, But in reality, the only real ship here was The Black Pearl! The Endeavor was actually a 16ft miniature that was shot in front of a blue screen and the pyro elements were shot on a larger miniature on a separate plate. However, The Flying Dutchman, that was 100% CGI. The other two ships here were used to help frame the shots and to create realistic water interactions for The Endeavour miniature model and The Flying Dutchman CG asset, thus making us believe they were really sat on the same ocean. So, after cleverly tricking us into believing that The Endeavour was really getting shot at from both sides, they now had to make us believe it was really exploding all around Cutler Beckett, and this again was done by selling us one reality and then adding to it. First, on a partial set of the deck, they shot the actors and stuntmen abandoning ship, Then explosions and air cannons full of debris were carefully positioned and choreographed to follow the action and filmed on a separate plate. Then they did a motion control shot of Beckett going down the stairs and that motion control shot was used to time all the pyro events so that, when both shot were composited, they would follow Beckett precisely as he descended the stairs. These shots were then composited along with the backgrounds, CG debris and dust and smoke, additional digital explosions and fire, and of course the digital replacement of the banister and its subsequent destruction complete the illusion. 2. Better Acting The second reason for using practical effects as a base is that they give the actors something physical to work with so their interactions are more realistic and therefore make us believe that what we're seeing on the screen, is really happening. For example, In this sequence, a mini Jack Sparrow is hanging from one of big Jack's dreadlocks. In order to give Johnny Depp something to interact with, they actually built a huge set of dreadlocks for him to hang from and even raised one dread in the air in order to give it some movement. Another example is the crab scene that was filmed out in the Bonneville Salt Flat in Utah. Obviously, for this scene, they couldn't just haul the black pearl all the way out there (even if they had all of Mr. Greens' relatives to help) but Johnny still had to be able to interact with something physical, so rather than have him mime or fake it they gave him a rope to interact with. Fun fact, it was actually tied to a cherry picker. The importance the filmmakers gave to these physical interactions really shows in the Maelstrom battle scene. Because even though the scene would require dozens of actors and stunt people, to interact with dozens of CG characters, in a fight scene with explosions and rain, and people swinging to and fro two different ships, inside a massive whirlpool of CG water... They still tried to do as much as they could practically. (...) The above ActionVFX link contains a Special Fame Focus Discount. We also earn an affiliate percentage of each purchase.

Some of our favorite TV shows from the past and present have the ability to keep us on the edge of our seats and make us laugh out loud. And every great program has an equally talented set of actors, producers, directors, and camera crew who work diligently to make sure each scene is executed flawlessly. But even the best shows are prone to making mistakes from time to time. From Friends to The Big Bang Theory and Sons of Anarchy, here are 15 biggest mistakes in popular TV shows. Supernatural The two stars of the series, Jared Padalecki (Sam Winchester) and Jensen Ackles (Dean Winchester) were at the center of an epic mistake that we can’t believe made it on air. In the first season, Jensen Ackles’ character (Dean Winchester) calls Jared Padalecki by his real first name instead of calling him Sam. Another blunder occurred when the two characters chased a demon onto a flight. Padalecki’s character can be heard saying, “If she’s possessed, she’ll flinch at the name of God. In Latin it’s Christo.” It’s just too bad “Christo” is the actual name for Christ, not God. On top of that, it’s a Greek word, not Latin. Breaking Bad The episode, which was supposed to take place in 2010, had one character reference the death of al-Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden. The only issue was, bin Laden was killed by American forces in May 2011. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5RQugKvHEw

The Irishman is not the Marvel equivalent of Captain America. It’s a movie about loyalty and treachery between friends in the mafia. So what kind of VFX is that film going to have? I hear you ask.

The challenge was, how to film the actors and make them look younger? The technology didn’t exist, so Industrial light and magic created it. Wearing facial markers was not an option because with so few markers they would lack the detail necessary, so they decided to use pixels. They created a three-camera rig, the center camera is the director's camera, the ones either side were infrared cameras called witness cameras. The software they created, flux, takes the information from the three cameras and triangulates it, creating a 3d geometry where every pixel is mapped. Now instead of 200 markers, you have thousands, constantly moving. With this many markers, you can start to see that the face doesn’t just move, when a person talks, it vibrates, every pixel affecting another, understanding this allows them to alter the darkness or depth of the pixels that form, say a “wrinkle” without altering the way they move when “for example” they smile. This new technology is so realistic and subtle that most people who watched the film never even questioned how it was done! and although still in its early stages, it opens the door to a world of VFX without gray suits and green screens.
