Did anyone else feel like all text they read directly after watching this was slowly moving down? Amazing work everyone, I was in awe the whole 13 minutes!
Yeah im still tryna work out whats happing bro im buggin
like everything does. my monitors and my bookcase. what the hell
I'm reading the comments and they're moving down as well
It’s called the motion aftereffect, there are some pretty trippy videos that you can use to induce this effect
Yeap! Motion sickness got us.
I definitely will be coming back to this video when in need of some artistic inspiration. Congrats to all the artists on the amazing work! Hope to see more challenges like this in the future.
I am OBSEsSED with your work... especially Cradles - Sub Urban
I will also come back to this video, but most likely just when I am high ;)
Fun fact: I took inspiration from your video of visualaizing drum beats for my machine, sadly it isn't here 😅
Same 😄
I'm a musician and I feel the same way. To have these inspirational places in the world is really important! congrats to everyone envolved and clint for putting it out! awesome.
This is about as satisfying as it gets. Amazing work by everyone involved.
What a strange place to find a potato
What suprised me the most was the amount of portal 2 content, and also how creative all of them are
W h a t Wow unexpected
This is like when you unexpectedly run into someone at the airport
Wow, the Tat Man himself is here.
7:24 Made me laugh. The way the whole intricate thing just doesn't work at all and falls apart completely
Best one! 🤝
That way one hell of a creative one
Task failed successfully!
don't think I saw a single one that was less than amazing
same! Loved every single one of them!
Could not out it better! I had an idea for one but of course never got it together :(
Jesus Christ
- also left a comment and agreed! (I wasnt cursing)
That's what happens when you post the top 10%, but at the same time, yea.
Each frame is art and I hope everyone is proud of this!
It feels like watching collab, which is something missing from the other challenges where it felt more like a competition. Super satisfying, especially when some pieces lined up thematically (like animals or rude-goldbergs or earthy)
Yeah this was way better than i expected
Not the furbies
@@blackmanwhitesuit collaboration > competition
3:54 Yasutaka Fukuda's use of the space that was given to them is freaking brilliant. They didn't make a complicated and intricate contraption like others, but they literally just thought outside of the box that was given to them and it caught me by surprise. It almost felt like watching an actual 3D movie after all of these sequences where the marble actually stays within its walls.
Every piece is so unique and amazing. My personal favorite is Yasutaka Fukuda's render @3:54 it's so dope I can't get over it.
yeah me aswell.
That was the only one I stopped the video to rewatch.
The winner for me
Definitely my favorite too
My favorite too.
Anyone else's screen feel like it's slowly sliding down after watching that all the way through. Amazing work all of it!
Holy shit TRUEE!
EXACTLY MAN
Yes!!!!! it's so trippy man
I was just about to say that.....haha
Yess
Absolutely amazing!
Amen
hey what up mah boe G to the sus
Jesus Approves!
how did you get verified as jesus lmao
@@ktsvmsc hes Jesus what do you mean. He can do anything
Logan Van Dyne's pool scene at 4:37 is awesome
Im glad someone saw this because the simulated physics in water volume and space is beyond amazing
@@dogfabricator4447 not the one he points to.
Hiiiii
My favourites: 7:55 What sticks out to me is that all the other renders were confined within a box. In this render, the camera FOV was part of a larger scene and the artist wasn't afraid of letting the ball go out of the frame for a bit. Really creative. Plus the idk what to call it but the the parallax effect was so cool with the zipline coming out of the screen as well. 11:32 A nice break from all the complex intensive rude goldberg machine type stuff. Really refreshing.
This one is also in a box, not as visible but still in a box.
Rube* goldberg
Can we say they were thinking outside the box ?
There all great
This series always highlights the most creative people on the internet! Clint, please continue this forever
Agreed
Yes!
Agreed
Also 69th like
I second that!!
Just to satiate my own curiosity: the ball was replaced 13 times; Clint caught the 14th.
Does this include when the ball was, for example, melted and reformed from the same material? Or only when it was distinctly a new ball?
@@loganstrong5426 I considered it the same ball.
Wow!
i did the same thing and got the same number
you are not alone. Glad to see that other ppl think like me and do this kind of things haha
7:53 really expands the depth with those zip lines
Kristoffer Kvamsdal’s render at 9:23. The top down view of the apartment. It’s just so clever. It would have to be my personal favourite.
Agreed!
Actually Kristoffer made the one just before that. Notice at the beginning that the contraption appears first and the name second
The amount of creativity packed in one video is insane. Shows the true power of collaboration
10:01 heyyy that's mine :D Thank you everyone for taking part in such a great project! 💙
Its so good! I love the sound design you did!
Amazing work! Really inspiring
I loved that one. Extra action like the cars being pushed out the way really add to the storytelling.
Really funny, great job!
One of my faves! I lol'd at the car alarms :D
I love that the Corridor guys (at 8:23) recreated their upstairs workspace.
Loved the Nico Zevallos one at 1:25 - It's completely different than the typical marble chase/kinetics approach.
YES! Man watching these on a vertical monitor setup is wild as well! Congrats everyone! 🎉
I can't watch it vertically on a phone tho...
@@silver7788 I am
After I read your comment, I turned my 27 inch monitor vertically and watched the whole video again in my dark room. Truly amazing.
@@OscarGonz idk maybe a bug or different version of YT i switched to my 32" monitor and it sure do works fine - looks amazing to
Need to flip my 65" TV 90 deg... Thanks for the tip
As much as I miss Clint in Corridor, these collective projects he leads and the amount of art created and enjoyed by humanity... It's worth it.
Yes it is. I’m so glad for him and proud of the community he built.
Yeah he's killing it - I still don't get why he couldn't have just done this as part of corridor. Obviously I don't know, and I'm glad it's working out, but I can't imagine having Clint having a conversation with Niko saying this is what he wants to do, and Niko not being like, "If that's what it'll take to keep you happy at corridor let's make it happen." He's talked about making a feature film, but how is that going to be easier on his own than putting it on the web site's greenlight program?
@@bluefletcherfish I know nothing about Clint's situation, but I know me personally, I get effected by people around me easily. Not in a bad way it's just difficult for me to know my true ambitions unless I'm able to be alone. I also know groups depend on each other and it would be very difficult for Clint to not put his project aside to help the rest of corridor during a crunch situation. Running a channel and creating content is very time intensive so I can understand why Clint would want to just step away and do this on his own. He still has many friendships with the crew and he seems happy. That's all that matters.
@@soulance8342 yeah, I get that.
He pops up now and then just when I feel like asking where is he?
Music in this video: 1. Jones Meadow - I see that you know your judo well 2. Jones Meadow - Democracy manifest 3. Aleph One - Cobalt (why its not in the description tho?)
Thank you so much! I've been looking everywhere for the music titles! Either the description should be updated or this comment should be at the top.
Thanks!
Thank you so much. Music credits should ALWAYS be included!
This is incredible
Oh you are here : D
Sometimes when Corridor members leave the crew, I get worried about their continued success with their personal professional endeavors. Clint is doing so insanely well. Amazing to see
And tbh, he's still around a lot lol
im really happy for Clint that hes moved onto this. Loved him with corridor but the content he has been churning out with his pwnisher channel is insane. Every vid i see he just seems to be completely in his element with these kinds of projects. I still love corridor and love seeing him there but I'm definitely happy hes moved onto new projects
@@InfiniteEditsHD Yes,I'm glad I got to known so many great artists through this channel!
"Chrome ball being tortured for 13 minutes straight" That was an amazing challenge, so many good renders!
actually, the first ball is left at a deposit in the 5th part 00:42
@@Fulscript lol ye..i was looking for this comment
Hang on now, if this keeps up those real-life marble run builders will be out of a job!
Hello again
That was incredible

Imagine being a 2d artist and sneaking into a 3d challenge. you could say I... 8] snuck through the gap
We say you are a mad man and congrats for the amazing work you did lml
Amazing work! Really loved what you did.
@@troutfish8590 Thanks man just hope nobody's too angry that I skirted the rules a bit :]
Good render guy
@qtim he probably had many more 2d submissions and decided to give one or two slots to the best ones. Imo they deserve it. They're really good.
This is so trippy... Amazing work by everyone, so glad that Wren made it in 😅😅😅
After sitting and watching the whole thing fullscreen on desktop my vision was kind of still trying to "pan" downwards for a minute. Trippy indeed
Yeah, i felt weird after the video finished
wren cheated, he had outside help XD
@@SuperlunarNim lmao same
What was the timestamp for his?
I really like the one at 4:09. Really creative and smooth
I imagine it was fun for each artist to create their own unique segment of a whole, but I can’t begin to imagine how Clint could view and judge over 2000 entries, and narrow it down to 100 (and then edit them together). Even if he had help, it seems impossible.
Wow, the optical illusion you get after watching this video. Everything seems to be melting! Amazing compilation, favourite: 7:55 for use of depth and perspective.
Yes, and that one really had me saying WOW out loud too!
Same here, even though they're all mind-blowingly amazing that one was my favourite too
And that incredible sunshiny lighting.
What sticks out to me is that all the other renders were confined within a box. In this render, the camera FOV was part of a larger scene and the artist wasn't afraid of letting the ball go out of the frame for a bit. Really creative. Plus the idk what to call it but the the parallax effect was so cool with the zipline coming out of the screen as well.
That was my favourite as well!
"if words could explain everything , art would not exist " - Salvador Dali
A painting is worth a thousand words. Love the quotes that Ecco on through the ages inspiring thr young to believe and achieve it's what the world needs.
Probably not Dali. "If you could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint." - Edward Hopper.
@@esaedvik everyone says everything all the time.
"If drawings were enough stone-age men would not learn to speak."
1:09 is by far the most interesting in my opinion
The one that I couldn't forget either
1:36 I love the portal one!
imagine being an employer who is reviewing these all and end up selecting all because of mad respect towards these exceptional talents .
Exactly! These videos are where any good empoyeer should search for new VFX artists and animators!
🤣
This is what makes me insecure about ever being employed as an artist again 😂 the competition is just too good bruh
@@Ben-rz9cf 🤣. I'd say practice your storytelling and lighting and look for new inspiration constantly. I think that's how the "Green Screen" video for the last challenge got into the top 5, even though it had a lower render quality compared to the other videos.
Can you release a version without the music? The sound design is part of what makes this render challenge so satisfying to watch
Yep, I too felt like the music was a mistake here
please :(
@@hi9313 It was maybe too loud
I agree!
This is so satifying
the top-down interior at 9:34 caught me by surprise. all of them are amazing tho
If you watch the whole thing in one go (or for a few minutes at a time), you'll get a nice optical illusion where your vision will continue trying to follow the downward crawl and compensating for the motion!
At first I thought the text at the end would move too 😂
bro I thought I was going crazy!!!
Yeah having that right now is really trippy
Led me to this comment 😂
You are a genius. We wouldn't know if you haven't told us. Lol
After watching these for a few minutes everything is going down, a weird feeling. Awesome collab by the community.
omg same!
We've discovered a new kind of optical illusion lol. I'm looking at the comments section and it looks like it's slowly scrolling down
Same here Bro. Funny feeling.
It’s called the motion aftereffect, there are some pretty trippy videos that you can use to induce this effect
th world is scrolling now
7:54 and 10:48 were two of the most interesting ones I feel. The first one because the perspective shift towards the end was done so well, and the second one because I feel like EATING of it was done so well. A lot of the marbles have disappeared in some fashion but I think this was one of the most interesting ways of doing it!
For me the best one was also the frog too, the way he eats and then throws up the marble, while climbing is freaking awesome
3:53 wow this one got me most impressed so far. So exciting for the followings
It’s absolutely amazing! Really satisfying to watch. The creativity from everyone just blows my mind. So many incredible artists! loved it, man.
Satisfying is the right word
13 minutes straight of the very best 3D artists of the internet just flexing raw talent on us.
There is no such thing as "raw talent". Just hard word, practice and patience. Talent is just a word used to downplay the efforts of others, by attributing their success to some innate, "raw", skill. It does not work like that
@@thearcadefire93 It was maybe not the right word, so let's say it is aquiered talent.
@@thearcadefire93 This is such, such a bad answer that ive read so, so many times now. Wanna call it "Natural Gifted Ability" is that better? Because it is. Why don't you become a singer? A musician? There are things like perfect pitch. An understanding of math. A creative ability. Things that cannot just be learned. Pracice adds to that of course. "Oh you can achieve anything! It's just hard work!!!" Is such a lie. And I cannot believe that people think this is a real answer. You should know better, I assume you're a full grown adult with plenty of life experience. What makes anyone think this way? Have you seen real talent? In real life or media. Yikes...
Then there's guy Collins the only 2d one throughout maybe the entire project like all the submissions
The overlay music fits surprisingly well with the 8:53 entry
Every single one of these renders was incredibly beautiful I had to watch them each a few times just to grasp the complexity of all of them. Thank you to all the artist who submitted your work and for putting this together.
9:00 Here is my render. Congratz to everyone the went in and those who submitted in time!
Urs and the one before you were innovative af as they were in 2D and I loved it
definitely one of the stand out! congrats!
That was one of my favourites
I really liked that ball dash animation
I don't want to draw anymore after watching this! :O Damn!
Hope you got inspiration for the next scp you cover, cool to see you here!
I dont wanna do anything anymore
Didn’t I’d think to see you here
6:53 is my favorite great job everyone !
What a stunning piece of work. Huge props to everyone involved in the project and to Pwnisher for bringing it all together!
Amazing work! I want a version with no music, so I can hear all of the amazing sound design the artists lovingly crafted.
I think it adds to the sound design overall by making the sounds actually stick out whilst still not taking away from the video elements. If it was just sound effects i feel like it would be too in your face and not nearly as relaxing as this
This is such a unique experience viewing this vertical on phone. Its like am watching endless high quality wallpapers on loop! ❤
Ahhh this as a wallpaper would be epic!
Good Idea😂😂
If I had this as a dynamic wallpaper I‘d never get off my phone 😂
I love the added sounds of the ball rolling that perfectly matched the scenes as well! Holy cow what an incredible effort
It is crazy to see how much genuine talent there is out there sometimes. Literally all 100 of these are perfect in their own way. Just genuinely beautiful.
I Hope the next challenge goes about a fight sequence, like a main character being hit through scenes Similar of the Injustice 2 stage transition, that would be a awesome thing to see over and over! 🤩🤩🤩
holy shit. facts
Fractal zoom
Anyone else get strangely nostalgic for PS3’s “Little Big Planet”… reminded me so much of that game.
I was thinking the same. Also could see someone making a game that basically is this, but you play the ball or some shit
I was trying to pick my favorite, but every single one was a freaking masterpiece.
Absolutely amazing work from each artist. And salute to the management of this process that allowed everything to come together so seamlessly.
This was simply amazing! Side note: anyone else seeing everything sliding down AFTER the video? kinda like looking at the clouds after staring at the ground and walking?
Yes lol
Wow, just looked down because of this comment and ur right
Yep
12:38 After watching the whole slideup reels for so long, I swear, this screen appeared like it was still scrolling up. So trippy
same bro
I can see seamlessly stitching all of these together being a challenge all on its own. Well done to everyone involved.
By far my two favorite ones are the robot that is watching tv and misses the ball at 6:07 and the Indiana Jones one at 10:08
RIP NUTS
Boom! I love EVERY SINLGE ONE!!! So glad I can be a part of this wonderful thing ( 2:00 )
Amazing work, I'm mesmerized!
@@varshaiyer6550 Thanks!
This is so freaking amazing... Hats off to all of these artists!
No cap, caps off!
I hope you keep doing these forever. Brings the community together and allows for multiple art pieces to be seen as one giant collaboration while also remaining individualistic at the same time. Whenever I watch these it makes me want to learn.
just gotta say I love everyone of you geniuses ! watchin what you guys created puts me into a trance, feels like I've entered and immersed myself into different worlds
Plot twist: This was just Clints submission for an oddly satisfying challenge on the Corridor Crew channel.
Very nice! One thing maybe: the music sometimes washes out the amazing sound design these clips have
Indeed. Music volume should be toned down a bit. I hope they fix it!
I expect every video was just too different in their approaches to loudness, and it would be too much work for Clint to have to make all the audio work together too.
Definitely one of the most inntriguing challenges so far! Everyone did such an amazing work!
100 mesmerising stories. Brilliant. Thank you for making this happen, Clint.
I can't shake the strange feeling of nostalgia this has. Reminds me of playing Little Big Planet with ym friends and discovering and making new levels.
Thanks for waking up the memories, mate - good old times.
I hope there's gonna be a version without music and just with sound effects... it would be more hypnotizing
So glad this is uploaded in an aspect ration that I can play on a vertical monitor. I must absorb all the details. It's so awesome seeing everyone's different styles and approaches to same prompt. Good work to all, super inspiring.
Was absolutely mesmerized the entire time, these are some incredible works of art and everyone who participated should feel so so proud of themselves.
DIdn’t look away fo the whole thing! Side effect: everything I look at is now drifting down XD
guitar hero mood
@@ShawarmaBaby bro so glad someone else has this happen to them
LETS GOOO!! It’s absolutely amazing that you put this together. Definitely participating in the next one! These top artists totally deserved it!
Same here!
Cringe
Wow. Love how you're bringing the cg community together Clint. This is the best thing anyone can do regardless of what their field is.
Please keep on doing these competitions. The amount of talent and creativity on display is midblowing
After watching the whole thing on a big screen, my eyes were so perplexed, the patron credits seem to move up... freaky! Nice work everyone - this was amazing!
not only that! look just about anywhere and it would look like everthing is moving trying to adjust back, so cool
I got that illusion. trippy
I'd love a musicless compilation of this because I'm thinking of dedicating a monitor to portrait this on a wall 24/7
I love you Clint, thanks for making stuff like this happen. It means more than you know to more people than you would think.
Each one its own little themed world. Completely mesmerizing & beautiful. Extremely well done, everyone!
Every single one of these tell an entire story in just a few seconds. Absolutely incredible. This is an amazing series I can’t wait to see what else is to come
wow, after staring 13 minutes straight in awe at this perpetually ascending montage of contraptions, my peripheral vision now suggest to me that the whole of my surroundings is also moving upwards wherever I look ...kinda. well, trippy... that's the most real After Effects can ever get xD
They were all absolutely amazing... just wow... couple of them made me verbally react even. Now who's going to stop the world from falling downwards?
I feel so proud that all unique artists helped each others to lead the ball to it's destination :')
Not only was this amazing on an individual level, but then combining them into a single flow? I knew it was coming and it still took me by surprise. But the real icing on the cake was the opening and closing, grounding it in reality so perfectly...
Absolutely incredible amount of diversity in the themes. Everyone was so creative!
There was an overwhelming sense of satisfaction, as if I had just finished watching a film. It was in this context that we felt the importance of connecting, whether with the ball or with our thoughts.
It's crazy how many different takes and creative ways people have approached the same challenge really makes you appreciate the human brain
Well. This is a pure art and it just has to go to the art gallery to roll over and over again on a massive vertical screen. Well done guys!
It amaze me the amount of talented artists are in this community. Congrats to everybody! Everyone has so much creativity and such an unique style. My mind is blown
Every single artist that worked on this piece is a total star!!
I only came to see the one wren and jordan made, but was blown away from the creativity and stunning visuals of every one of theses
I'm left speachless to the sheer amount of creativity each and every single artist has put into their submission. This will be a video I'll keep coming back to 😍
After everything that has happened over the last two years, just knowing that there is talent like this out there, makes me happy again :-) Showcasing it all in one, continuous shot? TOTALLY.FREAKIN.AWESOME! Well done, Clint!
The variety and quality of these are simply incredible. Great work to all involved.
This is so relaxing, each scene is has its own story I love this. Thanks Clint and all those involved. .
