Welcome to the official YouTube channel of CGY!
Film makers, fans and watchers have many questions about CGI and VFX in their favourite movies.
➡️If you're interesting in learning about why certain VFX look good or bad, why they were used, and why we don't see practical effects anymore , you’ve come to the right place.
I’ve been studying and working in VFX for several years, and want to create discussions on VFX quality, styles, practices and show behind the curtain of VFX.
I've seen so many of my favourite franchises ruined by poor VFX.
➡️ But so much cool VFX often gets overlooked in the discussion about CGI.
I’m currently sharing the specific actions VFX studios take to make good and bad VFX, one video at a time.

The Youtube Gods have *censored* our upcoming video (about Gollum's CGI) on this channel.
(It kept getting copyright stuck rip)
So you can watch the original EXTENDED ad-free early version for literally just 1$ right now on my Patreon:
www.patreon.com/CGY200/
The Youtube version will be missing around 20 minutes of PRECIOUS extra footage, (including hand picked interviews with the cast and crew which really help add extra context and detail to why Gollum worked so well all the way back in 2002).
I am really sad I had to cut so much out of the Youtube version, but it is what it is :(
The video explores "Why Was Gollum So Realistic", in addition to the controversy surrounding Gollum's actor (Andy Serkis) due to his comments about the very VFX artists who bring his famous characters life.

I needed a little time to get this episode together because turns out trying to be passionate about “Bay-Formers” for 4 weeks in a row is *literally* harder than performing brain surgery.
So join us as we progressively more cynical talking about Transformers: Dark Of The Moon.
(Imo this is simultaneously our best and worst episode ever lol - The professionalism goes completely out the window, but it ends up kinda being a good thing).

Okay?
I am hoping there is more context to this, but I can't find it lol.
Has anyone seen anything more about it?

Was cleaning off my old projects and found this image which perfectly sums up how good Terminator Salvation's CGI was - It's still crazy that his head is 100% digital and you literally cannot tell at all.
How do you guys feel about this film? - Has it aged well? I really think it has tbh.
(Sadly I can't find the website I found it from anymore, but all credit to them for this image!)

The Results of the poll were INSANE - I did not expect so many people to want Bay to come back!
So we discussed it on the Pod here: https://youtu.be/nawbxgI3JX4
Why do you guys think this is?

I just had a *fascinating* chat with Chris Nichols from Chaos Group (@V-RayArchViz) about the past, present and future of rendering!
Check it out here: https://youtu.be/R7DZmF-VB0g
He explained everything about:
Gaussian Splats,
Virtual Production,
The Volume,
Real Time Ray Tracing,
To How Video Games Work and more!
It truly was an interesting chat and it really made me realise how many knowledge gaps I had on *a lot* of these subjects!
