- Before Adam Savage watched Blade Runner 2049, he stepped behind the scenes of the film's secretive production and visited the prop department where prop master Doug Harlocker and his team built intricate hand props, weapons, and futuristic wearable devices. Doug walks Adam through the some of these hero and stunt props, including many that you may now recognize. Very minor spoilers within!

Thanks for watching!
What you guys didn't see after this video is Doug and his team having to wrestle Adam to the ground to get that gun prop back.
That's what I was thinking. Or pan to him checking the gun cases to like 45 empty spots.
But they failed
"I JUST WANT IT FOR MEASUREMENTS I SWEAR I'LL BRING IT BACK PLEEEAASSSEEE"
@@FUBARGunpla OMG!!! That's so Savage!! XD
@@paulvamos7319 savage. Adam Savage.
"This entire skeleton could fit in a lady's purse" Subtle foreshadowing Mr. Harlocker.
Not subtle by any definition of the word. He used that specific quote because in the script the prop is required to literally fit in a purse. That’d be like saying “Bruce Willis is a ghost” is foreshadowing. His wife not paying attention to him, the little details themself are foreshadowing, not the act in question. “The gun needs to fit on a holster on his waist.”
@@TheVictoriousShot /woooosh
@@TheVictoriousShot goofy ahh
@@TheVictoriousShotThe time in which this video came out and Adam visited, no one had seen BR2049. It’s 100% foreshadowing. He was alluding to a character moment in the film in which the skeleton is put in Luv’s purse.
@doomgiant...
They know! that. They were pointing out that it's merely not subtle "foreshadowing" but more a blatant description of events to come.
"To be honest, this entire skeleton can fit in a ladies purse , this big ..." .... what a subtle nod hahaha
KADArt Cosplay I paused the video and came to the comments immediately after that, I laughed pretty hard and needed to see if other people picked up on it. I hope Adam watches this video and notices that little Easter egg. I know he was there but he might not have thought anything of it in the moment, considering this video was made prior to the movie release.
@Matthew Shultz exactly my thoughts :D !!!
Oh I just realized what he meant. That's a clever detail
@@DEUS_EX_MACHINA Luv puts it in her purse in the movie
I've seen the movie several times and I think Doug did a fantastic job giving us as little info as possible. Thanks Doug.
Doug Harlocker is incredibly well spoken and open about the process
Yes, I like Doug. :)
He is of the same camp as Baker and Winston...their work is so meticulous and well thought out. Master craftsmen and stunning artists.
Being able to clearly communicate ideas and concepts between directors and manufacturers is probably a hugely important skill in his line of work.
And he rides a Ducati 🤟
He tossed in a bit of the industry typical word salad, but not to the point we didn't get what he was talking about. Which as you said, made it far more open about what they do
It would be amazing for films like this, if the studios would release detailed plans of the props. People talking about the film and recreating the props (to greater accuracy because of the plans) would keep the fandoms alive and the films in the heads of the masses.
Adam being more excited than a kid on christmas in that intro is the most wholesome thing I've seen all week, lol
And it's only Monday lol
Who wouldn't?!
love the tactile nature of these props and how visceral they are when interacting with them
Seen this movie 5 times now and can't get enough of it. This is awesome to actually see all the props from this perspective and just having a moment of bliss recalling on how these props were being used in all the scenes of BR2049. fascinating!!
The tested crew needs a close up guy or someone to take slider shots of the props it would really increase the production value
Agreed.
I know a second camera operator is not a minor expense, but the alternative is me wishing the video would cut to a tighter shot that would never come. It factored into the viewing experience for sure. Reality shooting needs coverage!
Or just shot B roll !!
For a lot of it they are just standing still. You wouldn’t need a secondary shooter just a second camera on a tripod camera or as you said on a slider. Other option is just use a zoom lens and get coverage of the props being spoken about after the interview and tour sections. I suspect it’s a budget reason for only having 1 shooter
Loved BR 2049 Best movie of the last couple of years
I completely agree.
It's not about action. It's about what is life?
Clearly you have never watched the original. Blade Runner was so good BECAUSE it didn't get down to the level of every other scifi action movie of the time. The Blade Runner franchise is pure sci-fi mixed with film noir, and relies on suspense and character exploration rather than on shiny action scenes and fast moving shots. Blade Runner will linger on a scene or a dialogue and rub your nose in it. BR2049 was really good, and I am glad Denis Villeneuve continued on his uncompromising trend he has been on. Montreal represent!
I wouldn't say the best movie. It's too bad we don't agree ... but then again, who does?
I haven't seen the movie yet, so I can't comment on if it was good or not, but too much action is basically what's ruining a lot of movies nowadays. Look at all of the Marvel movies. It's basically 99% running around fighting and blowing up shit, and 1% story. I'd appreciate the action so much more if there was only a select few scenes where the shit hit the fan.
Loving to see these behind the scenes workings. My OCD approves of this guy and his way of doing things. Crisp, clean, and organized. Fantastic.
That place was absolutely amazing. I wish I could articulate how awesome the props are and how impressed I am by the effort put into making them.
My favorite prop from this film was the helmet the farmer was wearing with the detachable breathing hose. Of course there was no shortage of mind blowing practical props. Real props, films just can't feel anywhere near the same without them. These are all astounding. You can tell he wants to play with those guns way more and is holding himself back. We never do grow up, huh?
I wish this video was as long as the movie!! I could’ve spent hours going into every little detail of every prop. But still awesome to be able to see what we could thanks guys!
MORE BLADE RUNNER! 👍
Really one of the best, if not the best movie of 2017.
I would say not only 2017...
Wasn't even the best movie the month it came out
@@DenkyManner you're right it's one of the best movies of all time!
@@DenkyManner It was the best movie in years shush
Logan
17:03 The look of pride on his face when Adam compliments the quality and detail was the most emotion he showed up to that point in the interview.
"this entire skeleton can fit in a lady's purse" lol
Glad someone else caught that little tidbit lmao
Makes me want to go watch it AGAIN. Damn you Adam Savage ;-)
Honestly, videos like this are better than any trailers. Such insight always makes you want to watch the final product 😁
Wew, love seeing this. Great seeing all his little nods to the film, too. Great, great stuff.
"This whole skeleton fits inside a lady's purse."
WHY??? OH WHY??? Will there be MORE?
The Emanator and the Button Box (Wallaces Wood Box) where RIGHT THERE, and they skipped it :((((
Will You guys show those in detail on a later date? PLEASE!!!
In the toolkit... Top "drawer" looks like a ring over a spoon... its a chalazion clamp, and its for eyelid surgery. And in the opposite top shelf there appears to be a Bishop-Harmon tissue forceps. Ad there's 3 sets of Westcott tenotomy scissors. All of which are used in eye surgery. Love to know why they chose to use those instruments. Just a fun fact.
is that a Kilner retractor in the third drawer?
i'm pretty sure its a retractor, but not sure as to the type. The resolution of the working end isn't good enough for me.
maybe a nod to that scene in the first movie with the man who designs the eyes of replicants
I wish they could have elaborated more on the memory builder thinger. That was my favorite prop of the movie.
I was hoping to see that pack of Wallace's vision attachments and what the ones he didn't use in the movie were meant to do.
seeing adam at any prop storage or at weta studios is like watching alice in wonderland, the whole time having a smile on his face, love it
Tested, more of this, please!!! My favorite prop was this one: 6:37 In the movie I was really fascinated by this device, so well designed for the function it has.
Any person that gets to follow there passion is blessed Adam you are the personification of this, good for you and all that are like you!
Yes blade runner
Yes
Yes
Adam's smirk all the way through this :D And his desperate attempts to keep a straight face. Delightful
Prop at 13:11 is a Vietnam era PRC6 portable radio repainted for the blade runner universe - in case anyone wants to try to replicate one. I love seeing the production videos for these movies.
I did not see it in the film but I bet a lot of suckers went out and bought one and bought one like me
That memory builder is really cool.
it's insane how much detail went into these props that we barely see for a couple of seconds.
The look on Adam's face when Doug said we'll came back to the guns later. Great video! Loved the movie.
Affection for blade runner props 😂👍 amazing
2049 was indeed the greatest movie since Blade Runner and looking at these props, I am seriously jealous of Adam getting to have a play. The detail, as Adam pointed out, really sells these props and it must have been great as an actor to use them.
Adam keeping his hands behind his back or tucked in, you know he wanted to touch everything lol
I love Adams enthusiasm and excitement here. And I don't blame him one bit. Every one of those props were gorgeous and precise. I would absolutely LOVE to work as a prop master and builder. And I'd love even more to have Adam take me under his wing and teach me. I'd die a happy man.
Love how the holster for Deckard's blaster is just sitting there @1:05
So good. I'm absolutely gutted I missed this at the movies. I'll just have to wait for Blu-ray now. :'(
“Once I’ve made a space for something, that something , must go back in its space” wise words Mr Savage, wise words.
Seen BR 2049 twice and man these amazing props fit so perfectly into the story. The glasses, the new blaster and the memory creator OMG
Amazing props, and an amazing movie.
As a propman from Ireland I am in awe of Dougs skill .Amazing work and cool dude .
i love how he just hands all the props to adam, alot of these guys are really protective and expect everybody to drop these things as soon as they hand them away
He knows Adam's a prop-builder too, and knows how to handle them. Not like Tommy Lee Jones.
Kind of bizarre seeing *that* particular skeleton just hanging out.
You can nearly hear Adams’ brain developing One Day Build videos as he walks through the warehouse I love it!
That was awesome. This is the kind of content that makes CZcams great and a marvellous way to waste time.
I love seeing these behind the scene heroes brought into the spotlight.
God I wish I could get my hand on that memory creator controller device prop, it looks so cool.
Most accurate and functional props built I have seen. Thank you for bringing me along for the tour. You are one connected S.O.B. Adam! Did you pick out a spot for your cot and sleeping bag? 😃
Incredible film, I really appreciated the prop and set design more after watching all these tested videos!
That was brilliant. What a cool job - designing and building props! These are the things that really capture my heart in many films.
Freaking awesome! This segment should be a bonus feature on the Bluray disc. Thanks guys!
That camera prop at the end was beautiful, I loved the design for it.
Re the metal-paint discussed at 11:57 - from personal experience I am almost certain its that fantastic AlClad airbrush paint, beloved of WWII plastic modellers wanting the perfect P-51, P-47 or P-38 paint finish. Magical stuff.
Such fantastic work.
Does the Peugeot 206 parked out front fly as well?
looking for this comment :-)
Boy! All of Sylvia Hoeks gear! We know where that appears now.
6:55 It looks like a Curta Calculator.
Chroma Spark
I thought so too...especially when he said it was fully articulate.
Chroma Spark i loved that prop in the movie, i thought it was gorgeous a very clever idea and that 60' style is amazing, happy to see more of it
you'll see somebody on the bacgkround wearing it at around 1 hour 6 minute in the movie
Some of the best cinematography i have ever seen.
Thanks for sharing 😀👍
I would love the illustrators/city designers in the movie to do a map of Los Angeles as in the Blade runner universe. Do a complete wireframe or in depth map of the buildings, how high they are, what companies they belong to. Where they LA in the blade runner is compared to real life. For example, hollywood hills, the habour area ect. I loved the visual fly by in Blade Runner I'd just want more of it. How many people live there, how much does it expand ect.
What a great documentary! Fascinating to be able to see the details behind scenes. Fun!
I love in blade runner how that universe is so far ahead with space travel, advanced engines that can clearly travel to other systems. However in that world all the tech is clunky and analog. Looking at our devices and gadgets its like we’ve decluttered our tech so its all on one device (smart phone/ipad. Love the lore in blade runner as to why this is. So much attention to detail.
Adam.. It was obvious you were in geek heaven the entire time you were there... For other geeks who may never get an opportunity to visit a real prop master workshop, it was amazing to see how much you really were enthused by everything, i noticed every time he picked up an item you were holding your hands in front of you as a subtle hint "please can i touch it" haha
I'm a massive fan of your vids mate, your a proper legend :)
both the prop maker and Adam are enjoying the heck out of this ! love watching this :D4
Have watched the flick 3-4 times back to back some days. Gotta love firestick/kodi/exodus.
Adam + Bladerunner = Yes.
i dont know why but i didnt see shit about the market scene with bautista and adam
What a great voice Harlocker has!!!!
Hoping for a part 2! I could watch adam froth about cool props all day :-)
Best tested video in a while. Keep up the good work!
Naked Lunch is one of the weirdest films I've ever seen...it was wonderful.
0:28
One of the best novels and was a phenomenal movie. Probably a very difficult film to conceptualize and film too.
naked lunch was never intended to look or feel normal to watch, considering the book it was based on
Doctor Benway: You'll see how elegantly this works. The black will disappear completely. There'll be no smell, no discoloration. It's like an agent, an agent who's come to believe his own cover story. But who's in there, hiding, in a larval state. Just waiting for a time to hatch out.
this thread makes me wanna shoot bug powder... where's my typewriter, very demanding. ))
I would love to design products like these ! So many beautiful details.
Imagine if each blu-ray movie comes with ''Adam's prop tour'' special feature! Wouldn't be awesome?
This is OCD heaven. The last gun was probably the coolest prop and he barely showed it. I'd also like to see their fabrication studio.
Best job in the world!!! I want all blade runner stuff in my house.
wow.. So nice. So nice to see some real props. What a great movie! BR2049 and Arrival is just the best new movies i seen in a long time!
the first blade runner is set in November 2019, will i be around in 2049?
16:21 What I would love to have is the wooden box with Wallace's implants that you see there. I'd kill to get my hands on one of those
You guys hit 3 mil. Congrats!
Now that I've watched it this stuff makes sense. I remember each piece in their scenes
What a great episode. Thanks.
Just got Blade Runner 2049 on UHD & this video makes me really want to watch it right.now...
Worth noting for prop makers. The radio is -NOT- a Russian radio. It is a United States Korea to Vietnam era AN/PRC-6 walkie-talkie radio. Antenna is spring mounted, so it's fine, he didn't snap it off. Screw cover on the bottom covers a plug for a headset, allowing the radio to be used benchtop. Could have prop-modding capabilities. Radio is getting rare, it'd be cool to see a mold taken of one.
Blade Runner might be my favorite thing in all of science fiction
This video went by so quick!!! Please go back Adam and bring us hrs of footage!
Big BLADERUNNER [SciFi&Horror as well as Speculative Fiction] fan here and I can't wait to see the props for the new DUNE.
6:00 I can make an entire story around that one prop. They are so beautiful and very versatile
so great to have watched before and after seeing the movie!
The memory tool is my favorite
They should be in the museum for films
Blade Runner 2049 did not disappoint. Loved the movie. Can't wait to see it again. It's just steeped in atmosphere. [edit adding] And these props, seriously are a huge part of that atmosphere. This interview was just fantastic. Doug really knows his shit.
The paint jobs on those rubber prop versions are so great that I would honestly consider opting to buy one of those guns over the hero prop... I mean, of course, the hero close up prop is the holy grail, but the rubber prop looks good enough while still being sturdy enough to handle by a fumbler like myself without shitting myself with fear that I would destroy it with a misplaced muscle movement.
I love how many times this guy makes cheeky little references to the movie, and Adam doesn't even know yet.
Excited Adam is the best content
I want that memory fabrication input device. I don't know what I'll use it for in real life but i'm sure we can find a use for one. its just a beautiful looking device.
I know exactly what to use it for! I want one that actually controls zoom and pulls focus via bluetooth or whatever, that i can connect to my cameras! ULTIMATE FOCUS RING!!!!
Was so hoping that we would see the eminator! Brilliant video though, enjoyed this a lot
The difference between a brilliant SFX giant and his idol: a scarf.
This episode was so much fun to watch! I literally re-watched the movie this week to spot the props (although I already knew about one of them). I could only bit spot on (the sort of spring loaded kodachrome viewer).
