Kind of interesting that both actors who played Tommy Oliver had the same experience with new show pilots.

Batman Beyond’s “Out Of The Past” And Ties To…Spider-Man?

I saw a video recently claiming that Spider-Man Unlimited came about as a response to Batman Beyond, as if that was the only reason. There’s a whole story there and if there was some inspiration, which wouldn’t be new for Fox Kids, it’s a minor part of the story. However, could it be that Terry McGinnis was DC’s Spider-Man before Sideway? No, you could make a better case for Firestorm beating both of them.

However, the host of Nerdstalgic actually does see a connection between Terry and Peter Parker, and uses the episode “Out Of The Past” to highlight this connection. One of the few episodes to not only bring Bruce into focus while featuring one of his old foes, but actually giving us a team-up between Terry and Bruce. In the video he focuses on this being a perfect episode of Batman Beyond and he makes a good case. As far as the Spidey connection…judge for yourself.

I already didn’t like the reveal in “Epilogue”. The plan for Catwoman would have been even worse.

Corridor Digital Attempts Animation By AI Rotoscoping

Corridor Digital, the VFX company founded by Niko Pueringer and Sam Gorski, started out as a simple YouTube skit channel working alongside Freddie Wong of Rocketjump. While Rocketjump’s YouTube channel went silent after doing projects for Hulu, Corridor Digital has focused on YouTube, expanding to the behind the scenes channel Corridor Crew, which does other computer animated special effects project, reactions to stunts and animation by actual stunt people animators. and side projects focusing on various topics. They’re very busy over there.

While producing shows for YouTube and their own subscription-based website for longer and more intensive videos, the team has decided to try their hand at animation, but not with the normal animation techniques. In addition to learning programs like Unreal for their animations they opted for a new process of AI animation as a new form of rotoscoping that they recently dropped a try-out for. I’ll show you that surrounded by two other videos. One came out before, highlighting the new technique, and after we see the results we’ll focus on how they made that particular animation. Then I’m going to judge the daylights out of it because I saw part of it on Literature Devil’s Morning Nonsense stream and frankly it’s a work in progress.
