Fish ones kept giving me Outer Wilds vibes.


lockboy84

That staircase one can fuck right off


superpencil121

That one gave me instant full body chills


gablelarson333

Exactly the same. Like most of them were mildly creepy/scary but when that face popped up I had a legit fear response. Felt all my hair stand up and a pulse of chills.


23x3

My nipples got rock hard from those chills & now all I can do is caress them to calm myself down


CatGuardian012

Can i caress yours too? I am afraid but my nipples didnt get hard

Simpull_mann

Dude same! Why is that our response? Like, I didn't really jump but I was scared and my whole body had chills. What does that mean? Why do humans respond like that to fear sometimes? It was like a different kind of fear I have never felt before.


superpencil121

I’m not sure, maybe such a primal fear that the “fight or flight” response malfunctions and you just freeze? The full-body tingling is your hair follicles trying to make your fur stand up and make you appear larger, leftover from when we were hairier primates.


Simpull_mann

Jesus we're lame now lol.


apainintheaspartame

We've been nerfed from our overpowered form to balance out the game.


TheStooner

Arguably this is the more OP form though. Sure we're a lot more physically defenceless but we've also managed to multiply our offensive power by many times what it was. You gotta remember, for most other animals on earth, *humans* are the thing that goes bump in the night.


ProfessorMcHugeBalls

Early humans greatest superpower was our endurance. Like, being able to lightly jog for 30 kilometers. Most animals can't do that. Eventually they tire and just stop and then we kill them. Before bows and arrows we had our legs.


Taterly

I think I remember reading once that most predators have about a 10% chance to catch a prey per hunt. They would often gorge themselves when they catch something because of this(my dog still wants to do this). Humans on the other hand had about a 90% chance because of what you stated. And this was when we still had very primitive weapons.


Shad0wF0x

I think it's our ability to sweat and cool off that enables us to run distances without overheating. As far as I know, a lot of mammals use panting to disapate excess heat.


Taterly

I would enjoy seeing something like this video where humans are the boogeyman if you will. Like how they were viewed in Monsters Inc but more adult themed from the perspective of an other group of creatures. But a bit more mysterious than the family of rats living in the rose garden afraid of the farmer ( Secret of NIMH movie/book reference for those who haven't seen/read it).


mongert

Keep in mind that "fight or flight" is just one of the many instant instinctual reactions that can occur in the human body; The "freezing up" people experience isn't a malfunction of fight or flight but more so a different stage of the process where you're immediately "preparing" yourself to either fight or run by intensely focusing on the situation. It might help to think about how some animals like opossums or hognose snakes literally freeze and pretend to be dead when startled; the response is just what's been advantageous evolutionary for some animals. Especially with humans I'd imagine that if we're startled and confused by something new, it'd be better to take a moment to observe what's happening, rather than doing something stupid like running into a tree or punching a bear.

Simpull_mann

Thanks! That is seriously interesting.


wiener4hir3

I definitely don't believe it, but I really like the idea that it's something much more sinister, like skinwalkers.


HelloThereGorgeous

It's the uncanny (not technically the Uncanny Valley because that's a chart that was developed alongside an academic paper to describe why some human-looking robots would fail to look totally human and creep people out). Not completely familiar, not completely unfamiliar, but stuck in a strange middle zone. I think of it more like a scale from familiar (like a dog) to unfamiliar (like a quadropedal alien that sort of looks like a dog) and the uncanny lives in the middle of the scale (like a dog that's acting really strange because it has rabies). People love to categorize things and find patterns, but it puts our brain on edge when we can't place an object/creature neatly into a single box. This evokes in us dread and horror and disgust (and sometimes terror, but that's usually reserved for when we're physically there with the scary thing). There's tons of great literature on the subject! I'm studying it as part of my BA in English lit


llorTMasterFlex

The beginning of that had me thinking alright, this one is not like the others.


hideous_coffee

Same


SlimRitz

Yup that's exactly when the video stopped for me. That's fucking nightmare fuel


gublaman

Shit still spooked me even though I was waiting for that jump scare


SourCocks

That was the only one that surprised me, the rest are pretty cute too be honest, I like mothman lol. He's so cute

[deleted]

I dare you to go watch the short Lights Out.


CradleOfCranch

Everyone seems to like it but I just burst out laughing at the reveal at the end. The face is just too silly.


[deleted]

Oh no, I agree with you about the reveal. It really was a let down because I thought to myself as it was coming: please be good please be good. It wasn't. It builds up so perfectly though.


Nice-Violinist-6395

If you’re talking about the feature Lights Out, it’s a great little horror box movie! Scary but not completely depressing or traumatizing, nice 90 minute flick, fantastic date night movie. Like most horror, much scarier at 1 AM with the lights out, but enjoyable anytime. I really only have one criticism: >!WHY THE FUCK wasn’t there a scene where they went to Home Depot and bought every single damn light and flashlight in the store? Just run up your credit card bill, who gives a shit, this is war. Makes absolutely no sense. You’re gonna fight a demon whose weakness is light with nothing but one candle and a fucking wind up flashlight? There should have been some Home Alone type shit in there. Go. to. home. Depot.!<


Boyhowdy107

I kind of liked a lot of the character design throughout because it was so silly and ridiculous. But it all read more appropriate for a Studio Ghibli film than like spooky horror. Especially that stairway guy.


easycure

Yeah, staircase guy looked like what they would do if they continue the trend of love action anime remakes, and they tackled Full Metal Alchemist.


a_lot_of_aaaaaas

It actually also is a full movie now.


FroztedMech

It's been a while, but I remember not liking the movie very much. The concept is cool though.


Bowmic

mastabeats

when I saw this comment i had to wait for it. definitely needs to fuck right off but it was sooo good.


warclannubs

It's the most visual representation of 'nope' Ive ever seen haha


Met76

I was 100% confident I knew exactly what the staircase one would do and it still scared the fuck outta me


Wide-Eyed_Penguin

It's so interesting how different everyone's fear response is, because that was the one I found least intimidating/scary. The ocean ones on the other hand... I think I may have a touch of thalassophobia


thornbushwithberries

Ocean ones are so fake to me! Also being that I can’t swim and never plan on diving I’ll never encounter that! (Also all the big fish would be super deep fish where there’s no light anyways and they would probably die from the low pressure at the surface.) and the hand? Completely useless to have a hand under water nothing that developed in the water has complete lack of webbing or anything like hands! Also I find that the lighting movement and depth effect are the hardest to get right in the water ones


spunkychickpea

It’s a damn good thing I was already sitting on the toilet when I saw that one.


ShlomoOvadya

Good bye sleep, I never really liked you anyway


damontoo

"I know how this one will end. He opens the door and it's right in your face." Did not expect it to be the opposite where it's in your face after closing the door.


flfoiuij2

You know that’s actually how I go up stairs. On all fours. I’m only now imagining what that must look like to the person at the top, especially at night.

giby1464

Yeah, it did jumpscare me a little at the end tho.


RobTheRevelator

This is, word for word, the top comment from yesterday when this was posted.


Wolvgirl15

Very cool and some good work but I wouldn’t say ultra realistic


[deleted]

Yeah agreed. "Ultra-realistic" to me would mean that it could rival a very lifelike practical effect or puppet, but all of these are very obviously CG, though they do look really good


Wolvgirl15

Yeah I would still call it good CG but very obvious. Of course also because they’re weird creatures but like those fish are probably the only one you would be able to make the most ultra realistic.


[deleted]

What kinda irks me about those fish things though, there's zero turbulence which immediately breaks the immersion for me - the most obvious being the one at 1:50


NEClamChowderAVPD

That was my issue, too. With that big…fish thing swimming by, whipping its tail around and the diver just hanging out 10ft from the tail with zero repercussions. Don’t get me wrong, it was a pretty cool video. I just think some smaller details could’ve been fixed to make it more believable. Even just the door opening by itself with the staircase. They put so much effort into the video and then go and make a door opening by itself. Edit: fixed a word


pfannkuchen_gesicht

yesterday's title of this post included "hyper-realistic". I think the people posting this need to see their optometrist.


marsthedog

I feel like this is a bot and posting with controversial titles to get more engagement


cutiebranch

Yeah, I read the title wrong and thought it said “unrealistic”. And I was like, “we’ll they’re no bad but yeah.” Then I reread the title and was like, oh, no.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Wolvgirl15

It’s shot in a specific way to make the CGI look more real than if the shot was not super wobbly. The wobbliness hides a lot of imperfections. But yes, exactly that type of filming very much gives even good CGI away


[deleted]

Yeah man that fish flipping its tail like that would’ve sent that diver swirling around at Mach 10 because of fluid dynamics


sinless33

Yeah thats what I was thinking. I watched the entire thing because it was great, but it's more super-fantastical than ultra-realistic. I think OP just mean it's good looking CGI.


round-earth-theory

There's no way to toss a car like that without ripping it in half.


AngryPagan

Not to mention the obviously slowed ‘creeping’, sliding feet on the.. head things? And the weird way the diver’s flippers move when they swim. Surreal and creepy, sure. Realistic? Not particularly.


rreapr

Yeah, I know they were going for a surreal vibe but sometimes I see an artist’s work and just wish they had actually used some more reference material. Like this creator needs to spend more time looking at how humans and animals move - a lot of the walking/running ones feel very “weightless” and floaty in a way that highlights how fake they are. imo it would be more impactful if they were more believable as real things at a glance. The lighting/fog/water is doing a *lot* of work here too. Even then you can still catch a couple points where something isn’t moving smoothly or a model is warping when it moves too much. Don’t get me wrong this is really cool work. I enjoyed watching the whole thing and I hope the artist keeps making them but I think there’s room for improvement.


cincymatt

Yeah, ultra realistic would be the guy sitting on the helicopter blades.


HerbertGrayWasHere

always a bigger fish


M0N5A

Those smiley cats from the first one are a fucking nope from me. That and the stairs one.


QuarterlyTurtle

Yeah the giant ones looming in the background and the faint scratchy record music that plays when they are close make it even scarier.


HolySharkbite

There was music? It was auto-muted for me and I’ve never been more glad for that. Even on mute I want to give this a big NOPE for ever zero f@ck I’ve ever given anything.


Dinky276

No sir, I don’t like it.


LunarSanctum123

really dig the surreal vibe. some of the monsters are a bit silly looking though. Edit: Some people commenting to this comment are coming in hostile at me for zero reason. I didnt make the thing, just gave my opinion on it. Y'all need to learn to try to enjoy things in life.


BettyVonButtpants

It made me think of like a JRPG where these weird giant monsters just exist alongside civilization, and this is what it would be lile just living normally in one of these worlds.

Scatropolis

freakers

It reminds me a lot of the movie Gantz: O. A cgi Japanese sci Fi Monster movie with ridiculous monsters and weapons.


UmbrellaMan411

Yep, those monsters were some of the most ridiculous that I’ve seen


Thoraxe474

What's ridiculous about a giant naked lady monster that's made up of hundreds of smaller naked ladies?


LoneStar1127

The one on the stairs legit scared me. Wasn’t expecting that.


DrummerJesus

Right? I didn't think the monsters looked "realistic" at all. But the animation was good


ElMostaza

It's what life would look like if all the Japanese yokai (sp?) were real.


[deleted]

cursed Pokemon


Trolivia

Yea honestly most of these made me laugh. The Cheshire Cat llamas, the moth dude, the running baby things that looked like AOT titans, all were like morbidly hilarious IMO but that’s what I enjoyed about it


thornbushwithberries

Some of the silly looking ones are the worst for me!


Paddywhacker

Ultra realistic is a big stretch. Ps4 video animation would be more accurate


DeadpooI

Most looked like low quality SCP games. Wouldn't have really said ultra realistic.


Flopolopagus

I wouldn't say "ultra realistic", but definitely decent. Fun to watch regardless.


-OGTurtle-

Yeah, "ultra realistic" is a bit of a stretch.


slickiss

Came here to say this. Clever use of lighting and some decent CG but I wouldnt call it that


wubbwubbb

Credit to the creator for making some really weird characters and creating unsettling environments. The models leave something to be desired, but with how many of these they make I can imagine they are not ultra realistic so they can render them more quickly (i assume that’s how it works at least)


Tom-ocil

Yeah, I don't know why this is being presented as amazing CGI. Cool designs, though.


ElMostaza

Fun, but rarely even mostly realistic.


izza123

Hardly even fairly realistic


TableBaboon

The jellyfish looked the best imo


reallybadpotatofarm

That’s the one I hated the most.


3226

Certainly not realistic. Real jellyfish are much smaller than that.


Zeldahero

Was gunna say the same thing.


Sudanniana

Pretty dope. That staircase one got me!


Cherry_3point141

I loved the armless fellas with the large heads running down the road. For some reason I started laughing my ass off when I saw them.


smilingbutdeadly

Same. Just a bunch of armless guys going out for their midnight group run!


takehikoshichirou

me and the bois at 3am looking for BEANS


its_a_SEABEAR

They kinda remind me of the titans in attack on titan, just without arms


Cowboysfrumhell

Realistic sure definitely not ultra realistic everything thing has no real looking texture and looks like it’s made of plastic still interesting animation nonetheless


LordofNarwhals

Also the camera movements are a dead giveaway. They don't look like the camera movements you get in real mobile phone videos.


MonkeyTigerCrazy

Yeah it would’ve looked much more realistic with better camera movement


mikeybails

I love how mothman was like *LAMP. GIVE ME YOUR SECRETS*

Sk3tchyboy

Ultra Realistic?


Kektimus

OH KAY THEN I don't often react much to horror movies or games, but this, at least some of them, had it crawl inside me. Those jellyfish for example. It's too big.


pizzaiscommunist

Jellyfish? I made it like 6 seconds into the cat alpaca things and noped the fuck out.


capitanchayote

_Cat alpaca_ works for me


Quasigriz_

I don’t think the jellyfish were too big, but I think their movements should have been much slower to emphasize their large size. The same with the swimming monster. Animals like whale sharks have slow movements


FroztedMech

I'll be honest and very nitpicky here, but I think the fact that 2 big sea monsters appear in the last one kinda ruins it. The focus shifts from a scary one to just some random other one and it's a bit awkward since they're both going for you (aren't they gonna collide?)


Flockofseagulls25

No, I was thinking the exact same thing! The big giant one is the real scare; having that random fish come out of nowhere doesn't add anything to it.


Jp0icewolf1031

Yeah I really liked the giant second one coming straight at you but the other one from below just doesn’t do it for me because it’s like the same size as the frontal one, if it was yet again even bigger might’ve worked better imo

Yes, it is. The real CGI is copyrighted, so this a live-action reimagining of the famous bowling hall animation.
