Oppenheimer | Visual Effects

❤

Once Openhiemer read - (vishu )I am the destroyer of the world
Meanwhile Christopher
I AM THE DESTROYER OF CGI 😂

I did agree with the explosion being underwhelming. I do like that it is a real explosion, but the size of it in the movie was NOTHING compared to an actual nuclear detonation.

In a real nuclear explosion it's not so much firey at first, it's a blinding flash of white and then a huge mushroom cloud that goes hundreds of feet up into the sky. You can see nuclear explosions from space. The one shown in the film was spewing out in all directions, which is more in-line with something like a gas explosion.

Also, because the camera was so zoomed in, the explosion lacked scale. It didn't look NEARLY as big as it should have.

I know because one of my old friends was the world's top three pyro-technicians, along with my personal research because explosions fascinate me.

Aside from the explosion though, Nolan aced it as usual with everything else.

日本政府は少なくとも1945年5月に 降伏の打診をしているが
この打診は米政府によって公式に無視 あるいは拒否された
事実 1944年の早い段階から 日本政府の内部では 完全敗北とみなしうる条件の受け入れが真剣に検討されていたのだ

米戦略爆撃調査は 1946年7月
トルーマン大統領に ｢日本の戦争終結努力｣ と題する報告を提出した
日本指導部との面接調査を基にしたこの報告は 単なる流言とされていた降伏の打診が かなり早い時点からしばしば行われていたことを確認している 同報告によれば 1944年2月には 日本指導部の多くが この戦争には勝てないと判断し 妥協による和平努力を主張している しかも この ｢妥協による和平｣は 日本の戦前の地位を引き上げようというものではなかった むしろ 高木惣吉海軍少将は 日本は朝鮮と台湾の放棄を前提として交渉すべきであると主張していたのだ
1945年2月には早くも 和平打診に関する情報がアメリカの新聞で報道されている
当時 この提案は公式に無視 ないしは否定されたが ようやく その事実を裏付ける証拠が出てきた 3月には日本政府が和平交渉の可能性を模索していたことは事実だ 交渉は中国を仲介者とし 1931年以前の国境線を基礎にするものだった そして 同年5月までに駐ソ連日本大使は ｢結果がいかなるものであれ 『戦前の条件より後退したものであっても』｣ それを前提に可能な和平提案を協議するよう訓令を受けている
これほど早い時期に日本政府内部で 降伏を唱える人々が影響力をもち始めていたことを
米戦略爆撃調査報告は確認しているのだ
同報告によれば｢ 天皇、枢密院議長、首相、外相、海相は 1945年5月に 連合国の条件による敗戦を受け入れることになっても 戦争は終結させなければならないとの結論に達していた｣

1945年5月9日付けの
ワシントン・ポストは 日本の降伏条件について伝えた シカゴ・サンのフレデリック・クー 記者の記事を転載している それは 日本軍部の全面降伏 中国から奪った領土と戦争中に占領した全領土の放棄を求めたカイロ宣言を 本土は占領しないという条件で受け入れるというものだった 同記者が伝えた和平提案は 米戦略爆撃調査が報告する日本政府の協議内容と一致している
クー記者はまた 米国務省が4月に この和平案を受け取ったと伝えたが これに対して国務省 当局は何も受け取っていないと答えていた

私たちは勝手に 日本は降伏しないと決めつけていた 米戦略爆撃調査の報告を読むと もし私たちがポツダム会議で日本の意向を聴取していたら ポツダム宣言も 原子爆弾も 本渡上陸作戦も必要なく 降伏を準備できたように思われる
確かに いまだからいえることである しかし もし日本経済の脆弱さ 日米の戦争機関の力の差 そして日本人の国民性と歴史を考えに入れていたら これは後知恵ではなく 将来への展望になっていたかもしれない

total CHAD to wear a Max Max hat on the Oppenheimer sets lol

Old school effects

Oppenheimer===the Godzilla Prequel movie

90% of the comments saying Oppenheimer deserve best VFX? does people even know what vfx is?

This reminds me of Angels and Demons with the whole material thing. I also think Ron Howard could have pulled off directing this

Eh, visual effects were alright. But I could think of other movies that are more deserving of it year, though.

what tf are people on about?! the oscar shortlist annoucement is on the 21st december

When you shit on VFX in every interview, it's difficult to justify getting a nomination .. Hopefully it gets a nom!

Best movie of the year

Sorry, but that nuclear explosion was so very underwhelming (and I saw it in IMAX) and now they want a pat on the back for blowing up a couple barrels of gasoline and filming it in slow motion, like that's supposed to win them an Oscar? :D

The Academy proves once again they are an unfunny joke!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Effect were great but nuke explosion scene is underwhelming

Absolutely insane that this movie didn’t get nominated

Why did they have to mix dialogue and music at the same level?! Ruined the whole film!

Oppenheimer should have been placed in the Best Visual Effects category

🇲🇦

Why is the title of this video visual effects? Are they now not only lying to the audience that there was no cgi, but now also lying that these effects are visual effects? Visual effects are post production done on a computer, these are shot IN CAMERA and are referred to as special effects. Don't allow them to confuse you further...

I got this on Blu-Ray and when I saw this I was mind blown. Crazy to think those scenes were not cgi but filmed with an IMAX camera.

No VFX mfs when this movie isn't nominated for best VFX-

Barbenheimer

There were reports Universal didn't credit 80% of the VFX artists who worked on this movie which is a real shame.

This trend of downplaying the VFX work is really tiring. Mad Max: Fury Road had 2000+ VFX shots, Top Gun Mavrick had 2400+ and the new Mission Impossible had 2500+. But you won't hear about it. It's not even that the audience hates VFX, they don't. But the real gems of visual effects like Avatar and Dune has become rare. The artists are overworked, underpaid and uncredited. Many VFX looks bad simply because the artists aren't given time to finish it, not because they're cheaping it out. It's not just Hollywood, the whole VFX industry is in a bad shape.

Nobody wants to admit the Trinity explosion was absolutely not Oscar-worthy.

Well…still the official line is ‘No VFX’. VFX studios should simply refuse to work on Nolan’s films until and unless they get the credit they deserve.

You mentioned their is cg in blast episode what the shit is this

For anyone who didn't know, Oppenheimer has zero CGI shots. ZERO. Everything you saw, from the explosions to the particles to the surreal visions was done practically.

Nah they missed the ball on the trinity explosion. Too many sparks, too much going on in all directions. It should be a giant ball of plasma, expanding equally in all directions, not a bunch of fireworks.

The Academy are morons

The trinity test explosion was sooo000oo underwhelming!! I was in the theater and my thoughts where...thats it???

Vfx!!! in his movie 😂

I really enjoyed Oppenheimer but damn, the Trinity test explosion needed to be more grand. It was essentially a gasoline explosion in slow-mo. It felt small and it didn't convey the size and power of these types of explosions. Definitely jarred me out of the movie for a moment.

When the director and marketing are pushing "NO VFX," and disparaging CGI, it's not surprising when they don't get nominated for the Oscar by their peers.

Better vfx than barbie

That explosion honestly is bad

This movie was a masterpiece. The cinematography and practical and visual effects were amazing, shame on the oscar comittees for not nominating it. The storyline was amazing too, the beginning of the movie and the ending could never have been better than that. The actors were also well chosen and their performance in this movie was just breath-taking. This movie has further inspired me to have a job in the film industry, as well as the other movies of Chris. Thank you so much for this masterpiece!

I thought the explosion looked tiny, like maybe a gas station, or a couple oil trucks blew up, either way it did not look like a 2,000 feet fireball (just the fiery part, not the shockwaves). The flames and embers just looked too big, I was surprised they really used that footage, which would have looked fine if used in his subsequent panic attacks, but in that sequence, it didn't work for me. That gentle fireball with big chunks of flame and glowing debris did not match the blinding white light and knocking people on their feet who were far away. It looked like a regular movie explosion.

The most underwhelming explosion in any movie. You can't fake fireball size

The atomic bomb scene was unbelievable. Shame on the Academy: the visual effects were stunning

i want more

Bringing the art and fun of practical effects and VFX to the cinema, thank you, Christopher Nolan

Send this to the Academy

I'll be honest, I liked all the visual effects of the movie expect for the atomic bomb, and the end scene where world is lit in fire.
The explosion in this movie didn't feel like atomic bomb at all

They should add a “best practical effects” category at the Oscar’s!
