How a 5-Person Team Made an Oscar-Winning Movie's Effects | WIRED

These people. They didn't use external monitors on their Macs because it slowed render performance.
You guys have my infinite respect.
Hats off.
And thank you for this masterpiece. It's a slap on the face of the movie industry.

LESS is MORE

I went to see this movie twice in the cinema, and have since seen it a few more times and I notice something new each time. I think it's a movie that leaves its viewers changed, and I'm sad that the friends I showed it to didn't *get it*. What a slap to the face

I've been a filmaker for like 12/13 years. This movie instantly became my favourite film ever. What they achieved with this film. 100% prooves that the massive studio model most of the movies that get released today under. Shouldn't be the future of filmmaking. This should. small crew, who are exceptionally talented. Not 1000000 people + corporate studio interference mind you.

When you have a massive corp like marvel, they're primary concern is making a profit. A small indy crew like this their primary concern is to make an incredible film. The results speak for them selves.

One is a heartwarming original story. thgats well written, produced, acted, mixed shot.

The other is BIG_MOVIE_PHASE_465_prt_7

They shot this in 38 days. In primarily one location. Endgame took 10 months. Shot all over the world.

But it just goes to show. 5 talented artists that are well directed create a better more believable visuial product than a multibillion dollar production giant.

why?

Too many cooks + studio interference.

The practical effects were so cleverly done! I hope EEAAO becomes a part of film making history in decades to come.

I saw this 3 weeks ago trippin ballzzz and let’s just THAT was a journey I was not ready for! Arguably the greatest movie ever!

DC take notes.

DC take notes

and there is tor Love and thunder!! just saying.

It's more a testament to how bloated most VFX productions are these days. Awesome to see how the Daniels have held true to their roots, I remember following them on Vimeo years ago! :)

the FXs are just as bad a marbel universe ... congrats you managed to be just a mediocre

I still can't wrap my head around this.

Really great movie… but hard to watch with your mother and little sister… I wish it wasn’t so perverted. At least to that extent. It went overboard.

TF☠️

Wow, what a great team of Legends 🎉

only five people? Shame on the director for using vfx artists as a slave. Just imaging the working hours for those vfx artists.

If you really think about it... This movie had the absolute highest cost to income ratio of any movie...ever.

Wow

sometimes it's not about the equipment of how expensive it is. It's about the passion.

interesting

I cannot believe how 5 people came with those magnificent effects, transitions, vfx and whole editng of this movie is amazing

This is the future than any small groups can make a hit movie

@Sisan Baniya

marvel be taking notes

E

They lost me at 5 people

The fact that they accomplished creating such an amazing creative film on a low budget should put the high budget films to shame.

Congratulations on winning best picture!!

Terrible practical effects and terrible visual effects. Terrible filmmaking. Try yo cheat other.

This movie is amazing for the story at and for the effects. How would you go about starting out with vfx ? Any tools? Any recommended channels ? Love!

I am lucky enough to have watched this Masterpiece in a movie theatre.

You guys know what this shows? With time and the artist actually knowing what their doing could lead to an amazing product, marvel no long cares about that.

I’ve just seen it, yes late I know, but this the first movie I’ve seen in a looooong time that had the same feel as all my favourite 80s movies; a simple core idea expanded into a fully formed fictional universe that offers an engaging narratively solid ride and feels like the whole BTS team was onboard and passionate about it. Cinema lives again!

Good lord I so hope they won’t drown in yes-men and bigger budget responsibilities now.

Can u ask them how they did the sosage fingers

5-people? Dude..... what. That is just insane. These guys have thought big time Hollywood filmmakers a lot of lessons.

so inspiring

movie created by hipsters for hipsters who find this movie interesting, because it is pretentious and total nonsense.

After knowing this, The movie deserved the 7 Oscars 👌👌👌

Such a small team. Absolutely nuts!

Quickly changed that title after the Oscar's, huh?

I remember being scarred for life as a 14 year old watching turn down for what. So thank you, I guess

this basically is going back to 80s-90s real cgi. goes back to the movie the thing. havent seen a scary movie that scary in a long time

Absolutely waste of time movie.

Necessity is the mother of invention - for the 5 person team and A24 studio. How incredibly inspiring and just goes to show, creativity knows no bounds. Bravo The Daniels !!!

VFX team only 5 ppl

meanwhile MoM's credit list 💀

This movie sucked.

One of the most ridiculous movies I have ever seen, thank you I guess..

the remaining two dudes be like 💀💀
