This isn't the first time we've rendered CG steaks sliding down a primitive log-chute.

Clinton Jones, Creator | Three years ago when I joined Corridor Crew, I was tasked with what seemed like an impossible VFX shot: "Can you make some full CG steaks slap against a primitive backboard? Then have 'em slide down a log-chute and plop into a wicker basket? Oh and can you do it in a program you haven't touched in six years?"

One VFX shot took me a full week. It was seven long days of troubleshooting, coffee, and frustration. I cut the deadline so close that I only had time to hit render before rushing to the airport. I nearly missed my flight! When I saw the short-film two days later on YouTube, I caught a few glaring errors which left me pretty upset with myself. I knew I could do better.

About This Piece | To celebrate 10 years of viral videos at Corridor, Clint completely remastered his first VFX shot with the team, now in full CG. For Clint, this is the perfect showcase of how far he's come as an artist while at Corridor, learning and growing alongside all the talented members of the Crew.
