Corridor Crew Compete to Make Scary HORROR CGi

I just watched this hilarious video where the Corridor Crew competed to make the spookiest Halloween renders using the 3D Program of their choice.

Any thoughts on the programs that they chose to use and the final render?

Scary stuff, Ashley Renee Smith! The script I'm writing for November Write Club is a Found Footage script (Holiday Horror). It's first-person like the renders in the video.

Stephen Van Vuuren

Corridor Crew is staple channel for keeping up with VFX. They have done some really interesting stuff with Deep Fakes and AI tools in the last couple of years worth checking out.

Sam Sokolow

Fun-ky. Not the biggest horror fan but some cool stuff here.

Ashley Renee Smith

Agreed, Stephen Van Vuuren! I LOVE watching their videos!

Ty Strange

Solved! So simple, too. Before adding the Ken Burns effect to the clips, I created a compound clip that included the special effect clip, then applied the Ken Burns effect to the compound clip. Works like a charm!
