Awesome Vfx

A friendly game of table tennis gets out of hand when the players start to take it seriously, turning it into a smashing contest until they elevate their level of play to over 9000.

Fernando Livschitz of Black Sheep Films took rides out of the theme park and into the city. A beautiful head scratcher that makes wonderful use of visual effects. The song is Worries by Langhorne Slim.

We were already impressed with Brainstorm Digital’s effects for the first season of Boardwalk Empire. Here they show off just how much of the world of prohibition-era Atlantic City is CGI.

After showing us the lethal potential of defibrillators, Corridor Digital brings another BF3 idiosyncrasy to the real world – the Repair Tool, which ironically can also be used to destroy.

A touching tale of a loyal dog, and his master robot. A reminder to humans: never let technology take over the important things in life. A short film by Greg Omelchuck and MoontowerVFX.

With impressive visuals like these, it starts out looking like a Blade Runner clone, but Stargate Studios short film eventually turns into an action-packed thriller on the streets of San Francisco.

The latest video from Freddie Wong is something that has played out in the minds of millions of Minecraft players. Sweet, sweet revenge. Also, there is a way for you to actually do this in the game.

The defibrillator in the Battlefield games has to top our list of FPS gadgets which can both heal and kill. Here, the guys from CorridorDigital put the trusty lifesaving gadget through its paces, IRL.

Freddie Wong gets mugged in his latest weapon and action-laden video. But we all know by now that things don’t always go as you’d expect in his skits. Make sure to watch it until the end.

Yes, we’ve all see the old cups-and-ball trick a million times before, but in this particular case we’ll make an exception and watch it again. We assure you this does not end the way you’d expect.

Freddie Wong shares how his typical workday mornings go. Or at least how gamers imagine it. The first 25 seconds alone make it worth watching. Can you name all the games he referenced?

It doesn’t hold many passengers, but on the other hand the wait at this train crossing is about as good as it gets. Maybe this is what they the Monopoly guys were thinking of with the “Short Line.”

While we wish there really were an theme park ride with cars which float in the sky, the High Wheel is just a clever video trick, accomplished using chroma-key to remove (most of) the ferris wheel.

A desktop PC that literally fits in the palm of your hands. The inexplicable reflection of fingers on the monitor while it’s “booting up” gives away that it’s fake, but it’s still a curious sight.

The Dubstep sound is getting played out, but slather it on top of an ample helping of plasma weapons and VFX and we’ll crank our speakers up to 11 anyhow. Nice finishing move at the end there.

(SPOILERS) It’s expected for a series with medieval and fantasy elements to employ special effects. Nonetheless, you may be surprised and impressed with the work that BlueBolt has done.

Team Fortress 2 gets the real world treatment by the guys over at Corridor Digital. The characters and weapons are spot on, but we’re still missing Heavy and the Medic. (Thanks, Kat!)

It’s little boy vs. man-child(ren) in this ultimate backyard toy soldier battle. Who will win in this epic fight? Stick around to the end to see who gets the last laugh on the grown-ups.

Last time Black Moon dude dropped by, he almost got hit by a train. The scene is a little more peaceful this time, but still needs some VFX. Someday, cameras will have this feature built in.

A young filmmaker adds an extra gadget to his Amazon cart and gets more than he bargained for. A clever way to advertise Magic Bullet Suite 11, the effects package used to embellish this short film.

We like to stick to stuff that’s awesome in a good way, but every once in a while, there’s something so awesomely awful that it deserves a look too. This is one of those times. (Thanks, Jerrod!)

Black Moon Studios reminds us it’s not smart to park your car on the railroad tracks. But if you accidentally do, this short instructional video will give you all the tools you need to survive.

We can always count on Freddie Wong to lighten our day with his fun, effects-filled videos. In today’s short and fiery clip, we learn why Freddie should never pleasure himself.
