VFX supervisor notes: why does super awesome transformer jet require pilot to go from the cockpit to jump out of the emergency exit to a redundant cockpit while the previous cockpit just goes offscreen? Is that a requirement from the toy company so parents have to buy 2 jets?!

Why transform in a way that just safely migrates the cockpit around as-is, when you can play an incredibly dangerous mini-game of Shadow of the Colossus that leaves you hanging on for dear life, and also exposed to constant attack while changing positions? It's SO bad, lol.

I’m wondering why it transforms from a mech into a mech for no reason.

I was wondering the same thing 😭💀

It's actually like 6 jets. F15, F16, A10, F35(or22, it's slop), back to F15, also a helicopter, and finally some kind of weird thing at the end.

Where did the giant missile go?

It was like the first thing I noticed, which distracted me so much that I then spent the rest of the video trying to find it, oblivious to anything else going on

Hell, even before that the wheels just do whatever.

This is honestly my favourite X account 😂

Also, why is bro 2 feet tall there? Also, grinding a MISSILE AGAINST THE PAVEMENT SEEMS LIKE A BAD DESIGN

Seems like an extremely dangerous transition and a great way to lose a finger

I just kinda wonder why the pilot spends more time outside the jet climbing around than in it just to fly backwards. Of course if the cockpit kept dropping off the robot I would jump outta it too.

Other note, why does the final cockpit require the pilot to sit in it backwards.

Watching the whole clip is like watching a monkey scrambling from one branch to another

Unironically your tweets are a great source of free training data for future video models.

cockpits and pilots sold separately
Macross Plus (1994) has an amazing transformation scene.

The wheels turn into fuel tanks, and then either disappear off screen or become its legs. AHAHAHAHA. It's so bad.

Unc is seething so hard he’s breaking character

Keep doing this. I'm enjoying it 😂

The ultimate push you-pull me ride at the end, thrusting in both directions, I don't think that's what Asymmetric thrust means 🤣

I dont buy this whole vfx supervisor crap, because i noticed dude leg morph into car door in like first viewing of beast wars official trailer. No one even cared when they just had bullshit morph effect transformers in fourth movie.

I like how the wheels turned into bomb pods here

The lack of control is incredible.

Bollywood logic.

It’s ragebait

Add another note: inconsistency in the transformation.

you forgot the disappearing buildings.

Because it's made by normal ppl. Outcomes will be different once professionals start using it or even a film student.

This dude is hilarious. He give his "notes" on these videos while ignoring the thousands of examples from actual films where the logic is just as shit. You do realize the point of this is to demonstrate the tech and how crazy it is that this can be done in almost not time or cost
