Please don’t let Tim think he’s boring! He’s been such a fun guest to watch
Well yeah, because they cut and edit him. The 40 minute website episode is also probably cut from the original footage
Ah, he was just messing
Maybe if he start wearking shoes and stop ruining franchises...
so true
not boring but a terrible terrible writer.
I love how raw Tim is on the couch. He's not overly polished and is just honest as can be.
pause bro
PAUSE
Pause
Tim looking like a snack 🧐
Had to choose the worst way to call a man humble 💀
I love Tim's attitude towards everything. Cringing at old work, roasting CZcams critiques, lifting up artists, focussing on storytelling, deflecting compliments. The man seems so genuine. Great interview.
Tim, Seth Rogen, the WETA dude and Adam blessed Savage are such incredible guests. Keep ‘‘em coming !
dont forget the Andy Cheng! Jackie Chan stunt team member! was very sweet guy, ik this is visual effects but he was goat!
WETA better be the french guy
@@bonerbomb549 na hes a kiwi mate
Tim feels like a real human, a guy who knows how lucky he is to be where he is, and also has the talent to deserve to be there
Well put!
Yeah. He's one of those self actualized people you see in Maslow's Hierarchy. Good to see they actually exist because most people at the top reek of selfishness and arrogance.
I appreciate Tim supporting the original authors of the stories that inspired him. I agree with him that there are some stories that are hard to translate into film without monologuing for an hour, but likewise "a picture is worth a thousand words" and there are some visual stories that just have no words to describe them. The two story mediums compliment each other for that reason, in my opinion, and I love both of them.
It's something I think some are too ignorant of or too arrogant to recognize. Like I've seen people complain about some small feature in a video game and say it would have been easy to fix or do. But it probably isn't. It might be easy in isolation, but incorporating it into the rest of the code could mean weeks of debugging and tweaking to make it stable again.
And I knew an indie film maker that was huge on "show, don't tell". He was the epitome of stereotypical film student. That guy that waxes poetic about how he doesn't partake in popular stuff because it's all so trite and boring. But as an amateur author, I know there are times when you just have to infodump. A thirty second narration can save you thirty minutes of action. Like introductions in a heist movie. Hey show you why the character is the best at what they do, but the voiceover ties in years of backstory. That guy is the kind of person I dislike. You have to prove yourself to him to be an equal in the field, but he'd probably try to ride your coat tails if you surpassed him without his help.
I had no idea most of the stories on LD&R were already existing stories. I just assumed they were all original. I hope one day I see a Brandon Sanderson short story on LD&R, or maybe a d&d/fantasy themed season. Love, Death, & Magic please. Thankyou😁
OH my god. A Brandon Sanderson shirt is something I didn’t know I’d need
There's tons of wild short stories out there! One of my favorite things to do is picking up a sci-fi/fantasy short story anthology, people do a bunch of compilations of them. You get a bunch of really interesting stuff! I think China Mieville's stuff would be great for the show.
pretty sure Joe Abercrombie did the rat one in season 3, so it's more likely than you might think.
Sanderson is so good!
I'd love to see the interlude from the way of kings with the spren collector. That'd be hilarious.
Tim is by far the most entertaining guest on the show! Nowhere near boring
Tim is easily my favorite guest y’all had on
Such a cool and humble guy.
Favorite VFX guest: Alex Laurant
Favorite stunt guest: Scott Adkins
Gee is still my favorite.
He really reminds me of Phil Collins
@@mooncat7009 I can see it.
Tim is so freaking chill. I can't imagine a better boss or role model.
When are you going to getThe Daniels in? EEAAO is a masterclass in what you guys do. You could do a whole month of reacts specials on that movie; VFX, Animators, Stuntmen and the Directors themselves.
Happy New Year, yall. Keep up the good work!
I think this just the sort of caliber of person you become being at the 5% of your field.
No ego, no blustering…just professionalism, kindness and a love of what you do.
You can’t be among the best in an industry with a bad attitude.
One of the best interviews you’ve had. Can’t wait to get back to LD+R Season 2.
You mean season 4?
Man! do I have some news for you!
Out of the entire corridor crew Niko is the last one I would've guessed would say "Mmm hurt me more daddy," to Tim Miller but then again I'm glad he did.
Happy New Year to the entire Corridor Crew and all their subscribers! We’re nearing 100 Visual Effects Artists React 😁
Happy new year friends
You can never get bored of listening to someone who's passionate and great at what they do.
That little bit during the Drowned Giant really encapsulated the difference between a perfectly capable, albeit industry-adjacent artist and an industry-innovating one who's seen it all over decades. Tim sees zero challenges as a sad thing while Wren didn't at all. Even other industry professionals and heads might welcome one less challenge to deal with, but that just speaks to the mindset that Tim Miller has had as someone at the helm of a smaller, driven studio.
Fantastic episode.
I run Cohesion Press, where five of the original stories for the seasons of LDR were found, and we also published the two books containing ALL the LDR stories, as shown on this video.
Tim is an amazing guy. One of the most humble yet at the same time talented guys I know. A real human being who hasn't got a big head about his well-deserved success.
They really need a whole episode of Blizzard Cinematics. Those cinematics are just next level especially starcraft and diablo.
Yes I think those have been the only ones they haven't touched on. Probably #1 in game cinematics.
Didn't they?
I'll never be satisfied until I hear the stories behind the cinematics of ShTh and Sonic 06
the original WoW cinematic is still nearly unbelievable that it came out in...2003?
i watched a bunch of the announcement cinematics for the three sc2 campaigns, and i had to keep reminding myself that these games came out SO long ago. they truly are just incredible. that LotV one, where the zealots fioght to defend the probe warping in the pylon? goddamn that one is incredible
I'm glad the cut scene graphics in dante's inferno are finally getting their due
Hellgate London is truly underrated concept, i hope they will redo the game, the visuals of the "sci-fi" medival knights was always fascinating to me
Bruh I remember watching those cinematics as a kid and being scared shitless lol
@@ShiftJay08 Brother I remember watching that as an adult and feeling the adrenaline rush
As someone who’s animated a combat roll frame-by-frame, I’m VERY impressed with the smooth rescue roll around 15:35. They make the craft look easy.
Tim always has the best vibes.
I watched this movie called looper recently and there's a scene where a guy's limbs are disappearing as he's walking and I thought that it would be cool to get a look at that.
They’ve done it before I think. Can’t remember what episode though
@@tyler_bt3326 Guess I'll have to try and find it then.
I was today years old when I learned Blur made a Bionicle cinematic. My life is complete
Caught me by complete surprise too, now I need to comb the internet to watch the rest!
As a VFX artist, whenever I get lost by what I am doing with my career, I watch Love, death and robots and I remember why I love to do what I do! Thank you Tim and the team at blur for showing us all how good it can be!
Is this video we didn't see from the last time they had Tim on? I distinctly remember Tim talking about his face being on the CGI monster.
@@LeonardoMastrogiovanni That makes sense. Good on you, brother.
@@LeonardoMastrogiovanni it wasn't him, it was another vfx dude who is friends with Tim
this is the only comment mentioning that it’s a reupload
@@canaldoloading Yeah, I think it's Jerome Denjean - who they mention/show clips from in this episode - who worked at Blur with Tim. He's in the videogame cinematics episode.
@@athanos-_-8850 its not a reupload but more from the 1 hour long original version (from corridors website) being uploaded. think of this like a part 2 i guess
Season 2 of LDR had some of the most incredible animation I've ever seen I didn't know there was a se 3 :0
S3 is amazing, jibaro being my all time favorite, on par with the witness ❤️
Tim Miller is such a boss. He's that extremely rare type of person that can appear both friendly/inviting and threatening/imposing at the same time. Born to be a leader. I've only know one person like him in my life thus far.
Yo hands down the most chill down to earth vid. The energy is amazing, Tim is an amazing guest and hopefully they will come back for another episode.
i know Tim doesn’t like the early 2000s flat face/skin cgi model look but i personally love that look of the late 90s/00’s video game cutscenes.
Because you were a little pupa then, and a kid now?
Same here.
For me, it has a certain charm to it. Wether you love it or hate it, it’s nice to go back and see how it looked.
They walked so Modern VFX could run.
@@SPX157 You're standards are low.
I think it's more of a nostalgia thing. They look cheap, but they probably take us to that time of innocence and awe.
I mean, I got blown away at Mario 64 when it came out and my friend let me play it on his N64. Now I'm playing Astro's Playroom on my PS5 and feeling exactly that same sense of wonder and overwhelming joy at the graphics and details.
Yet, I keep thinking about Mario 64 as I play it even though in comparison, the old game is just a bunch of blurry polygons.
Still, what they made me feel was so special, and I'm getting to relieve it in the PS5.
@@cuckoonut1208 how can our standards be “low” if we remember these games fondly cuz we played them back then ?
Can't wait for next season of LD and R, thanks for all the fun you gave us all.
Happy new year my favorite VFX-Artists and the rest of this wonderful community! 🎉
Thank you Corridor Crew you've carried 2022 for me , I have learnt so much and your content has really inspired me , I wish nothing but the best for 2023 , thank you
Happy New Year to the series thats taught us all so much
Niko rocking the Carpenter Brut shirt let's goo
These are always so wonderful to sit down and watch. Keep up the great work and keep them amazing guests coming!!
I was watching Micky's Christmas Carol the other day, and because of these breakdowns I appreciated it so much more. The door knocker morph, the candle moving from the room into the fireplace and the light in the room changing. They drew some cool stuff.
Thank you for giving me a new application of the little details.
So much passion I am glad I watch your stuff. The reaction videos especially. Happy new Year corridor crew!
I think Ami Yamato would make a good guest for this show; she seems to know a little about VFX, you know, with the way she edits herself into movie scenes and stuff.
Happy New Year guys,thank you for everything!
I remember playing FF7 as a kid thinking I can't wait until game play looks as good as game cinematic shots. They have blown pass that goal post.
Sunny's Revenge is still my favorite short from LDR. My 2nd favorite would probably be Mason's Rats, idk why but I found that one funny & entertaining. Poor Susan (Mason's Cat) 😿
I love you guys and your reviews...😭😭😭 And also the people you bring as guests😭😔
Happy new year guys, love your work. All the very best for 2023
Love Death and Robots is such a fantastic opportunity for multiple stories to see life breathed into them on screen. I thoroughly enjoy that series.
*Y'all should do **_"The best way to cross the river. It's never been this easy"_** from "Cherry 2000" (1987), for great stunts.*
Some people are surprised at Swarm making it on Top lists but the dialogue in it was some of the best in the series.
Tim is so humble. Happy New Year!
Great episode guys, thanks for your work! 🔥
Tim Miller is by far my favorite react to CGI guest.
Scott Adkins was amazing as well, but I have a soft spot for Giu's contributions to the React series.
I saw the transformation scene from the 1991 movie "The Guyver" last night and I actually said out "woah" out loud at how good it was. Check it out. Neat blend of what I think is stop motion, slow motion and live action.
Nothing better than seeing a guest that is so experienced and passionate about their field
You know what would be really cool to see? Episode of Love, Death and Robots made by Corridor
I loved Tim Miller, would love to see him come back for some more great react episodes.
Also I would love to see more L,D+R episodes with other great animators.
Personally I would love to see Love, Death + Robots have more episodes per season, like Season 1, but I don't know how much work goes into that.
My favorite LDR episodes are Pop Squad and Bad Traveling. Those two blew my mind in a way that very little else has
I’m a paramedic who’s recently working in a hospital. When I’m on lunch break I absolutely love watching y’all’s show. U guys have a wonderful channel. 😊
These episodes are such a treat!
I'd be interested to hear your takes on some early works by Monte Oum, like Haloid or Dead Fantasy. The dedication and time that one guy put into those has always been mind-blowing to me.
3DSMAX was probably the first "real" 3D software I tried to learn. I did pretty well, took a short course on it and even showed the teacher a new thing he didn't realize. But development on 3D moves so fast. One computer failure and that program went bye-bye. By the time I got a new version of it I didn't even recognize the thing. I can't even begin to fathom Blender and the other tiny 3D program I use, I'm constantly afraid the developer is going to add something I don't understand and wreck it for me. So every 3D artist that can keep up gets mad respect from me.
Blender changes quickly too. Even their own documentation doesn't keep up.
@@chaos.corner Blender changes quickly, just remember that a ton of it is moved by the typical driver of said changes: Rule 34.
True, but on the other hand, think how many things are basically automated compared to what you were used to. Like the challenges Corridor members do in a week or even less for their videos, a decade ago you would need months if not more to accomplish.
Just binge watched season 3 of Love Death and Robots. Excellent stuff! Thanks for pointing it at me!
Me and my Wife watched the 3rd season yesterday, waiting for the New Year, and I come on CZcams the next day to find out Corridor did a VFX Artists React with Tim Miller hours prior to watching the season. The timing is insane, I love it. Also, Swarm was my absolute favorite, I loved the ending. It was a great way to 'uno reverse' the whole subplot, and I would pay good money to have it expanded into a full series.
Seeing the giant & hearing from Tim in this episode is what has guaranteed that I will go watch Love Death + Robots
So glad you guys showed a second of Rockfish by Blur. It’s one of the first animated shorts I watched and it’s one of the few I always think about and have a hard time finding online. Another one is a claymation-style animation called Gray (Grey) and it’s about purgatory. Unsure if it’s by Blur though, I def knew Rockfish was by Blur.
Grey is by Ruairi Robinson, and it was nominated for the Oscars.
@@Zenzuke Legend! Looks like I was a little off on the title, "Fifty Percent Grey". I appreciate this so muchg, it's been years since I've watched this and to watch it again is incredible. Happy to hear it was nominated for an Oscar!
@@Zenzuke I had forgotten so much of this short. It wasn't about Purgatory, but rather going through Heaven, Purgatory, Hell. It's amazing what the mind forgets, or rather, chooses to remember. I also totally forgot that the character was a soldier.
"The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step Padawan!" is something I'll remember fondly now. Thanks Mr Miller!
Happy new year!
dude i wanted a part 2 of so many episodes the cliffhangers were insane so beautiful
Would love to have you guys take a look at Helblade: Senua's Sacrifice . . . and the gameplay trailer for Senua's Sacrifice 2.
*Suggestion for a future "VFX Artists React to Bad & Great Video Game Cinematics!"*
React to the cinematic intros of the Onimusha Trilogy. Onimusha Warlords, Onimusha 2, and Onimusha 3 had interesting cinematic openings for the early 2000s.
So much of the dialogue from the (damn unskippable) Onimusha 2 cutscenes is seared into my memory.
solid wisdom from tim! happy new year corridor crew! more videos! :)
Man I feel like I gotta sign up to the website just because I love LDR so much and want to hear Tims perspective on all of it. What a cool guy.
What a great way to end the year. Tim is a great guest
So great! You guys need to look at the Star Wars old republic cinematic
HELLGATE: LONDON WAS THE ISH BACK IN THE DAY!!! The cinematic breaks and intro was epic level!!! Love, Death + Robots will ALWAYS be a favorite. Wish there was merchandise though. Thanks CC for this and all you do.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Love it! Frigging Legend! Cheers for that guys! 🔥
I can't stop looking at his flipflop and how close it is to our hosts
Not everybody will understand but I understand
Too close for comfort.
I didn’t notice it until I read this comment
every dad wear flipflop, its a must
I love these guys. No matter how down I am, they always make me laugh aloud... and I think that's just awesome.
For sure Tim is one of the top guests you have had. Seems like such a genuine dude
the tim episodes are my favorite.
i really hope he comes back regularly would be amazing
LOVE Love Death & Robots!!
Didn't know it was Miller. I was sure they were all different artists directing each tale.
Beyond the Aquilla Rift is my all time favourite. Twist had my jaw hit the floor!
I remember back when David Fincher wanted to take on Heavy Metal, but for whatever reason, couldn't get it off the ground.
Love Death and Robots reminds me a lot of Heavy Metal with its anthology and experimenting with different styles of animation.
I mean he didn't do all of them, he mentions in the interview that he gets talent from various studios but he oversees everything along with the woman who created KungFu Panda. I forget her name but they did an interview together about a year ago.
The Corridor Digital version of this is 40 minutes long. If you haven't paid up for a subscription on their site, you guys are missing out on a TON of content.
Guys. Happy New Year to you! I congratulate you from the whole family and wish you to live and prosper and develop for many more years. I'm waiting for your videos every day. I ask you to release videos more often. Thank you from the bottom of my heart that you are.
Loved the episode! ❤
Please react to The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005).
And possibly its sequels: 'Prince Caspian' and 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader'.
All have ground breaking visual effects as well as some dated goofs.
And even possibly the 1988 British television series. Which has hilariously cheep practical effects.
Keep in mind this is the same guy who made the infamous behind the scenes of his latest movie where he describes EVERY CGI shot and states stunts are dangerous.
He is a great VFX artist though
?
?
What are you referencing?
He breaksdown his Terminator movie where he grabs a marker and starts marking circles in areas where he kept saying the words CG, and says that stunts are dangerous. Filmento made fun of this video
@@vesperrainstar1252 stunts aren't dangerous? I don't get it
What a wonderful man. 😊 Happy New Year Corridor Crew! 🎉🎊🎆🥂
Happy New Year Corridor Crew!!!!!!!
Always loved videogame cinematics. What are y'all's favorites?
Gears of war 3 cinematics
The intro to halo 4. Just when it came out it seemed so damn real.
Remastered halo 2
Onimusha 3 intro
the overwatch trailers. maybe visually its a bit too much like the game but overall theyre the most cinematic and have the best writing
You know what bothers me about the Drowned Giant?
The smell would be absolutely atrocious! If your cats have ever left a dead thing somewhere out of a view for a few days, you know that punch in the face. Scale that up a couple million times?
Dude that girl wouldn't be chilling in his ear rocking out to her pirated Sublime MP3s, she'd be f--king dead.
Also had no idea about the book sales going completely to the original authors, that's sick.
First thing that came to mind was a big dead whale washing up. Thankfully they didn't show the corpse inflating with gas and exploding.
well a few things. When the body did start to decay ppl did leave. It does take a bit for decomposition to set in. Secondly we have no idea whether the anatomy of this being is identical to humans in how it reacts to elements in our world that causes decomposition in the first place.
Love his stuff. Always fun when he’s on.
i love all of your reactions and recreation. i cant get enough.
I loved season 2...I think the reason why everyone hates it is because there's not much nudity, somewhat bloody but what I liked was the animation styles...even now the whole Universe of Love, Death & Robots is stunning & beautiful mixed with tragic story telling
Most people don't like season 2 because the stories are weak and forgettable, it has nothing to do with nudity. All seasons have incredible art style but the most memorable episodes are from season 1 and 3.
Season 2 felt like (and probably was) the cutting room floor of Season 1. There was maybe 2 good eps in season 2. It has nothing to do with a lack of skin showing.
@blackt109 it was a joke lol but they were probably throw away episodes, 1 & 3 have powerful stories but everytime I try telling people to check it out they always say "that weird sex show?" 😂
@KesSharann probably were old episodes for season 1 but they were like ehh...plus I think a real reason why they weren't so impacting was the pandemic.
Plenty people like season 2. I try to not take trolls who are just concerned with nudity too seriously.
How you guys have still not reacted to Brahmastra's VFX and it's BTS is beyond me!
It's like the best VFX ever done in an Indian movie!
Is the movie good?
@@cuckoonut1208 that's not for me to tell. It fits itself in a lot of genres, one might like some aspects of it and might not like some. But they'll definitely have a different experience with this one.
The VFX, cinematography and music is the best part of the movie. The action sequences are also great.
The amazing BGMs add a lot to the experience.
@@cuckoonut1208 lemme know how you like it if and when you check it out!
@@shivaa__M The trailer looks like an Indian cg quality progress reel with popular actors cashing in. I must admit, the training has paid off compared to 10 years ago.
@@cuckoonut1208 yeah, the VFX in the trailer was kinda unfinished and looked a bit weird.
Tim I LOVED watching Rockfish and the other short films back in the day. They inspired me.
I'm a full-time graphic artist today and have been for a long time.
Great episode, and Tim is one of the all time best guests you've ever had
Tim Miller de havaianas me pegou despreparado, tenho que admitir
havaianas é chique na gringa
Thanks for the advice Tim!
Tim and his flipflops lmfao I love it.
Hey Tim, it depends on the monologue. Like for example, the one from Anthony Hopkins in Westworld is just chef's kiss. But he's presenting a very deep interesting existential topic, he's presenting arguments, he's moving around within the discussion, asking questions... and he's Anthony Hopkins.
I think great monologues are always the cherry on top if you make things around it for it to have a specific place and meaning to it.
And personally for me, the giant one was one of the best and my favorite episodes of LDR because it "had nothing to tell" and yet so much. It's like on the surface, much like the giant, there's nothing, nothing good, interesting, or whatever is there will decompose and decay. But underneath you can see so much.
Very cool video again! Thank for your work!
i literally cant wait for these videos !
I was recently in a job working within a small business and I was often in contact with the boss, I did a lot for him, gave loans, came in on my days off went well above and beyond the scope of what I was being paid for and then a series of events left me feeling very unappreciated and unwanted, the boss new and I had asked to speak with him to sort it out, this talk never happened then one day he came in and fired me without warning and gas lit to boot.
I mention that all because Tim, you sound like a marvelous man, someone who truly knows how to run a company and look out for your people, they are lucky and hope to one day be lucky enough to have someone like you looking out for me in the future.
Continue to be a legend!
Absolutely beautiful times we live in! Tim is awesome and you guys have started a revolution with this channel!
congrats on 6 mil!!
