Visual Effects for Transformers; 2012; LOTR....

[Toini01]

@N4lzc But on the other hand, what you said about DD is true, becayse they did most of the background effects, image corrections but also the entire waterfall scene and Beckets death.

[Toini01]

@N4tc That's completly true but since Harry Potter I have to say that Double Negative made its way on to the podium too. They destroyed the millenium bridge, recreated London in 3D, created the CGI water simulator in HP4 later used for the flying dutchman in PotC. They also made tons of spells, smoke effects, thousands of green screens and Hogwarts completely in 3D. So even if they are not as known as ILM yet, I have to say they do as greeat job as ILM.

[N4lzC]

Digital Domain certainly do such a great Visual FX for lots of movies, but they only make the easy ones (of course for all of us mortals they can be difficult or impossible) but the truth is Industrial Light & Magic (aka ILM) is the company No.1 in making VFX for movies.

DD makes the easier ones (stairs sequence in Pirates of the Caribbean and some landscapes) while ILM take the responsibility to make the complex ones (ie.Davy Jones Tentacle face and his crew, Transformers Rigs and many others

[petar00z]

I searched up Lord of the rings and got this shitty movie -_-

[TheChiwawa]

wow...i'm so speechless

[raisen052000]

@3:18 - What's the movie title??? I forgot.

[loveSc7]

that carribean scene with the captain coming down the stairs is IMPOSSIBLE! Just impossible! Damn, those guys are fucking good

[IBurnRamenSoCanU]

Does anyone know what the song is that they used for the Lord of the Rings portion?

[nampukkk]

You can do what I want very much to be realistic on the Titanic.

[daniloribeiroalmeida]

é incrivel em que nivel o cinema avançou, em extrema tecnologia sempre nos surpreendendo cada vez mais.

[ryantheram719]

Very bad ass I hope my visual effects will be this good some day

[caveman357]

@ryantheram719 I was just about to write the same thing! Good luck my friend, Im using Maya.

[desertblackout]

i saw this in my class yesterday about animation and i never knew people where scared of computers back then about taking over people's jobs

[TheRvzx]

well i guess the DD is the best / top CG I company in this era hah... vooohhh Very well done guys - RESPECT

[culliganbro1]

@TheRvzx dd is the 2nd best behind weta digital. who did avatar. but digital domain has done some legendary work. like titanic

[TheKumaDB]

@culliganbro1 Nah ILM are still the best currently (avatar, transformers, pirates), DD 2nd (Tron, Transformers, Pirates, 2012), Weta would be 3rd maybe? All weta have done that looks amazing is Avatar and LotR, plus they spend far more time per project. DD and DNeg are still my fav studios though. Just my opinion.

[culliganbro1]

@TheKumaDB ok yea there is no arguing really. some of the best effects i have seen were in pirates and transformers. 2012 i thought was low quality compared to other film tho. but i think weta is the best because they had to make the whole movie in c.g. and still make it a believable world. but hey to each his own

[TheKumaDB]

@culliganbro1 You forget that when its all CG you don't see reality to compare it to =]. One thing I love about weta is they like to create software (massive, mudbox, mari). DD made Nuke though

[culliganbro1]

@TheKumaDB thats a good point. i wont argue any more because you seem to know more about this than i do. lol

[zakzak008]

just one word .. P E R F E C T

[xxArEsXMuSiCxx]

Amazing!~

[UGHC1]

... INCREDIBLE.

[vahnvallain]

DD is awesome..it more awesome if they make a tutorial

[TrainedSniper12]

Digital domain is awesome.

[100Yates]

LOTR? What the hell is LOTR?!

[baconconquersall]

@100Yates ....lord of the rings?

[MrFrenchgangsta]

@100Yates Lord Of The Rings

[100Yates]

@MrFrenchgangsta Ok thanks



[S0hio]

Eh, if all youtubers had their own graphics artist they would all be just as good... =P

[Edwards19ful]

i wish i can make all of them effects

[christiantheodorus]

so this is it how they make movies!

[RebeccaMetralleta]

name of these songs??? 2:03, 4:14, 4:45, 7:05 PLEASE!!

[elitedw]

@RebeccaMetralleta

the 2:03 one is Burn The Clock - Adam Freeland

[elitedw]

@RebeccaMetralleta

And the song at 7:05 is Escape - Craig Armstrong.

Gotta love Shazam.

[elewint]

I love this!

[timbomcjimbo]

This company kicks A LOT of ass!

[Zamberlam360]

What the name of the two movies before Halo 3?

[tombeat11]

yes marekmoucek you are right that they can create the people with cgi technology but it takes longer than acting this scene with real people ... they havent got enough time to create all things on the computer

[marekmoucek]

i dont know why they uses greenscreen and real people, when vfx can make even more realistic people then real people :D, i think real people + greenscreen is more expensive than vfx... (sorry for bad english)

[deepfriendhere]

I never knew Digital domain these these gfx , i would mostly like Industrial Light and Magic company ...their effects is also awesome....btw , which software is used to create these effects and is there a nice future as a career if we choose Animation...?

[BXBProductions]

@deepfriendhere In animation choose Autodesk Maya. Don't go with other softwares - Maya is the main software used for animation in decent studios - The experts will say Maya is always preferable

[graffitiskater111]

Dude! From where did you get this? :D Thanks so much!!!

[keithktam]

@tombeat11

you are saying Micheal Bay has acquired DD?? didn't know this, so is it like ILM is Lucas that kind of thing?

[valbarr]

Hey everybody if you like visual effects and software please follow me on my new twitter @jvalbarr

[lukaka100]

super very nice Imagination! :D

[DAVYJonas1]

their wasn't 2012 this was the day after tomorrow but the video isn't bad

[diesDas8]

what movie is that at 2:52?

[xChrizmax]

2 people can't get after effects to work for them

[alegiorlando]

awesome!!

[lipglosslover09]

what is the first song called??

[xInfamousRealm]

so computer can make a new world...

[davehaslanded]

@xInfamousRealm

But it will never fully replace things like miniatures.

[StudioVoxel]

@davehaslanded Actually, yes it will. Photorealistic rendering is becoming so cheap to do, that it will no longer make any sense to do miniatures. Even beyond a cost perspective, CG setups can be tweaked to hell, and things like lighting can be modified much after the fact. When CG becomes TRULY super-cost effective - bye bye miniatures. Thats just the evolution.

[JustErup]

@xInfamousRealm ur what, 10?

[xInfamousRealm]

@JustErup did my words hurt you? if not,why are you offending?do u find difficulties reading my comment?

[JustErup]

@xInfamousRealm Sorry if I offended you, but it is just hard to believe that you really did not knew what computers can

[M110501]

@xInfamousRealm Welcome to the matrix.

[pufixas]

@xInfamousRealm

duh...

[Jwats96]

@xInfamousRealm No, a genius modeler and animator with a computer can.

[xInfamousRealm]

@Jwats96 wrong. u A genius can't do this. u need many to do

[loocasduber]

@xInfamousRealm Computers can't create shit. It's the artists that create new worlds. ;)

[Sacrengard]

@xInfamousRealm welcome to The Matrix

[lorin1996]

@xInfamousRealm great, you got the princip of games

[xInfamousRealm]

wat is that movie at 7:29

[prasad4110]

thanx for showing this video

[stuffmajig]

[64h5dsf14j6s41h5s4j5]

2:02. what movie is this?

[vind3x]

Master Chief: BREATHTAKING!!!

[cairap]

songs used ?

great video ...

[yugyhg]

The last soundtrack is from which film?

[ebag10]

@yugyhg It's called 'Escape' by Craig Armstrong from Pluncett and Macleane

[RebelBeats]

That was disgusting. What haven't they done!?

[Milkshakman]

@Kyorlhart With movies the past few years it takes more of a trained eye to spot CGI from real life. I can guess within the next 5-10 years it'll be completely impossible to tell.

[Kyorihart]

CG are becoming more and more realistic, sometime i have trouble telling whether it's real or cg.

[MrJujuwarrior]

@Kyorihart i can tell whats cg and whats not just because of how hard it would be to do it in real life but i cant say it looks fake

[MaJIbIu]

@Kyorihart transformers are real

[hulllewis0817]

@Kyorihart If you cant tell the difference,the artists have done the perfect job.

[074377623]

@Kyorihart Sometime?

[TheCoalescent]

These guys are much more talented at their trade than Micheal Bay is at his.

[LuvlyTheBest]

@TheCoalescent it's skills, not talents.

[TheCoalescent]

@LuvlyTheBest who cares?

[LuvlyTheBest]

@TheCoalescent just want u to know differnet between talents and skills

[TheCoalescent]

@LuvlyTheBest Its only my opinion and its not really up for debate. Yeah skills might have been a better word. But seriously, who cares?

[jussing]

@LuvlyTheBest: That's complete and pure nonsense. This requires buttloads of talent.

[69TmTulio]

what movie is at 7:21 and 7:41?

[LazyCoder]

@tombeat11 NO... that is NOT Pearl Harbor, that's "Flags of Our Fathers"

[Dubaifreak]

and so I choose Digital Entertainment Design for my University :D

[FinalPrototype1]

What's the music at the end starting at 7:19

[nemirc]

@FinalPrototype1 Hanging by Craig Armstrong, from the Plunkett & Macleane OST

[Scriptofmagic]

3ds Max :)

[miriades]

I love my job !!!!!!

[TheDM75]

So who the hell worked on TF?? Digital Domain or ILM?? or Both??!!

[marcelynomarcelyno]

what movie is at 6:52 ?

[Ronnie51026]

2012 was done by Uncharted Territory, was it not?

[Ronnie51026]

@rensdyret they're not vendors, but ok.

[rensdyret]

@Ronnie51026 Ehm .... yes, they are... ;)

[Ronnie51026]

@rensdyret Vendors sell things that they did not make, these people are contractors as they make this art at order. (but art criticizers say it is not so, it they cannot be called artists.)

[Ronnie51026]

@rensdyret What exactly does that have to do with vendors. Vendors are the people who sell the product but have nothing to do with the manufacturer/brand. Contractors make things by order, they are contracted which is what producers do to get cg. (unless they are in-house of course.)

[rensdyret]

@Ronnie51026

The companies providing the CGI for motion pictures are vendors as well (Explained on various encyclopedia-sources; for instance, check the wikipedia for "vendor").

Vendors can provide AND produce the services or goods to other companies. In this case, yes, motion picture studios. Vendors are by definition just agencies or companies selling a product or a service.

Ask Digital Domain or any visuel effects-company for instance.

[Ronnie51026]

@rensdyret thats not the definition of vendor. what your saying is that vendor and manufacturer are the same thing. They aren't and I will drop arguing with the misinformed.

[Ronnie51026]

@rensdyret oh just shut up. "A vendor, or a supplier, is a supply chain management term meaning anyone who provides goods or services to a company."

[sudki87]

wooooow

[gamesbond2]

whats the soundtrack at the end of it?

[fullZERO3600]

what movie is at 5:46

[matskuboi]

@fullZERO3600 The day after tomorrow

[viplovem]

@tombeat11 That was not pearl harbor

[druidadru]

With all due respect, because i know how much effort took you to compile this... many of this movies were made by OTHER companies... Sorry... At least "I, robot" was made by WETA the same company that made LOTR and district 9... etc... thanks!

[kiasukid]

@druidadru ... Um... you do know that most movies these days have more than 1 visual effects company that work on it right? I hardly think that Digital Domain would lie about what they worked on in their company reel. WETA did do work on "I,Robot" but so did Digital Domain.

[TheDM75]

@druidadru I, Robot was made by Digital Domain...

[lovelydiva06]

ah, the magic of movie making, awesome stuff

[costinionita]

If you want Special effects programs try ZBrush for modeling, Maya for anything, 3Ds Max for almost anything, and some free programs Blender 3D, UDK ( Unreal Development Kit) and many more

[kuikai100]

a++++++++++++++

[amiablerecluse01]

Holy crap O_O

Looking at all the things this team have done, they would be perfect for making the live action Evangelion.

[kokakoka21]

2012????

[ADMediaEmpire]

@kokakoka21 I think he meant The Day After Tomorrow lol and it wasn't Transformers 2, it was the first transformers

[miloslakic]

if anyone knows how to take off the program for special effects in this videou?

[Manfred1502]

i think "Industrial light and magic"^^ you can not buy this program^^!!!

[sonicballer8888]

industrial light and magic isn't a program. it's a company.

there are tons and tons of programs used to make these kind of effects. Maya, Adobe After Effects, Shake, Combustion, Photoshop, Boujou, etc.

[SR211999]

NICE!

[SabaLp]

what movie is at 3:03 ? plz answer thx

[viplovem]

@SabaLp It is not Pearl Harbor, its Letters From Iwo Jima i think
