First up, the visual effects masters at Industrial Light & Magic have provided an extensive look at their work on Marvel's "Eternals." Much of the work on display has to do with the digital environments of civilizations from thousands of years ago.

Stuntmen React to Furious 7 and More
Next, Corridor Crew brought in their stuntmen pals Travis Wong and Gui DaSilva-Greene to break down some stuntwork done on films like "Furious 7," "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" and even "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2." But the most interesting part is hearing Wong explain how working on "Transformers: Age of Extinction" convinced him to focus more on stunt/fight coordinating instead of being a full-time stuntman.
