    THIS EPISODE ►
    Niko, Wren and Crew visit Adam Savage's Cave in San Francisco to test out his freshly-built replica of the stiletto knife that "slices" Jack Nicholson's Nose in the 1974 Noir classic "Chinatown." Can the Crew recreate this practical effect with CGi in the same time it took Adam to build his prop? Does doing it for real always beat CGi?

Either giving it away by 'reacting' before you would conceivably have been able to, or having such a delayed reaction that it feels forced. That's for sure always going to be a strength of practical effects, that the actor will have a mostly genuine reaction to an actual event.

    I'm sold on this being a fully produced series! The first two acts of every episode is all about building the effects, the design process, hiccups and breakthroughs, the third act is bringing them together, showing it off, and pointing out the advantages and setbacks of both methods. Really brings back my nostalgia of Mythbusters.

      You could pit random Digital and practical VFX studios and workshops against one another even. I wouldn't care if it was smaller names we never heard of or Weta vs ILM, I'm sure it'd be captivating all the same.

    2.) The next *obvious* choice for this series (which is genuinely AWESOME, btw) is a a bullet-to-body impact squib vs GCI shot. It's more blood, but there's a lot going on with a character shooting another character, which could make it a pretty interesting "competition."

    (8:07) The emotion in this scene is so good
    The way Wren's face turns from "Do it" to disgusted to kinda angry
    Adam's look of genuine terror
    Niko's "Imma kill you" attitude
    It all blends together into a perfectly played scene

      Though I'll point out that this scene almost highlights my least favorite part about the practical shot: there's almost no blood on Adam's actual nose where the "wound" would be, where the digital immediately covers it up in a bloody, gorey mess. Pausing at 8:15, you can see his nose is completely clean (and of course in one piece). It's not super visible when viewed in real time, but that's mostly just due to the shock and drama of the moment, not because it's actually that hard to notice if you're looking closer.

    You guys are awesome and I have been subscribed to Adams channel pretty much since it started. Could you all work with him to recreate some of the mythbusters stunts in CG and compare those to what they actually looked like in Mythbusters? I don't know what liscensing implications that could have but it's an idea.

      Lol that sounds like the most useless idea ever.
      What good would a computer animated "mythbusting" TV show be?
      You wouldn't be able to prove anything(literally the whole point of the show is the stuff they ACTUALLY DO to test myths)
      And as for what it simply would look like?
      Idk, if you spent a LOT of time, maybe like remade Lion King or Avatar would be the best comparison? And then again, what's the point in that?

    A whole series with Adam Savage where you guys just nerd into the history and practices etc from both worlds of special effects would be fucking amazing.
