    Building Pacific Rim's Giant Conn Pod
    Special Effects supervisor Shane Mahan of Legacy Effects details the many stages it took to create the unique, massive conn-pod machinery for Guillermo Del Toro's PACIFIC RIM. From design, testing, additive manufacture and mold making to construction and assembly, watch how the twelve-foot-high hydraulic arms were created and attached to the pilot suits.

    Honestly if they made the Conn Pod at Disney the line would be so long that you'd have to reserve your seat in line months before. An it'd still be amazing.

      As well as the clips of the conn pods in the trailers showing the lack of movement of the conn pod set even though the pilots are sliding, spinning, kicking, and getting punched, backhanded, and thrown around like a ragdoll. The conn pods visor was static.
      The first movie made it feel like the jaegers' heads were "locked" to the pilots' head movement. Where the pilots are looking, the jaeger is also looking.
      But in uprising, namely bracer phoenix, where they performed a limbo slide to avoid a thrown gypsy avenger, the pilots were looking up at the conn pod's ceiling with a holographic representation of gypsy above their heads. Why would they need that when simply looking at the giant visor would suffice and make sense? Currently, it looks less like being inside giant yet relatively agile robots, and more like being inside an augmented reality set with no hydraulics to simulate head bobbing.

    all these physical assets of Pacific Rim 1 shouldn't go to waste and just gathering dust in warehouses. Some billionnaire needs to invest a venue in a theme park with actual size of Jaeger that could move around. Gypsy Danger, the Australian jaeger, Cherno, and Crimson Typhoon. Or better, create a specific theme park just for Pacific Rim 1. And they can also continue the franchise with TV series using the physical assets, just like Star Trek TNG did. Actually all the ingredients for success are there. Great story, great mechanics of the jaegers, terrifying kaijus, nice characters. Don't let Pacific Rim 1 stop. Remake or create a better sequel please.
