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.
VenomKpp I feel like you’d already have to do that for any of the existing rides
Just a shame that Pacific Rim ain't Disney :P
Mystic2760 good tho they would ruin it
@@JangoBricks kinda agree tbh.
@@Mystic2760 thank god Pacific Rim isn't Disney
I'm so glad you guys did this with animatronics instead of CG :)
Well, Its a combination of both
This is mindblowing.
When you show the huge Con-Pod short clips, the actors moving, the water canon...
My mind just... EXPLODED !!!
What if, they made a virtual reality Pacific Rm game, like an arcade game, but using an actual Conn-Pod set. Oh LAWD!!
Hell.... yeah....
Agreed
That'll be so sick
Hell yeah!! It'd be real expensive though...I don't know if many people would wanna invest in that.
I imagine how painful it will be
Best VR experience ever.
I actually thought the conn pod shots were CG until I saw a massive set of one in a behind the scenes video. It's so well done that I thought they simply took the lazy route of using CG, but just pulled it off incredibly well.
I just cant stop imagine of using a machine like that, to build a virtual reality video game.
.... imagine it with a rift oculus. man how awesome it could be..
I would likely be called the "Drift Oculus" if they partnered up to create such a gaming stage lol
In uprising, the pilots are literally just attached to a stick
yes
Like they are doing fucking jumps in a conn pod
@@Powaaaaaaa it looks bad summary
also they have no arm thing, and just running on a treadmill
it's not even a stick, just cables attached in their back
@@royalwalnutbroth5664 yeah, and you can't even put it to technology, the pilot has to feel the Jaeger, not the Jaeger feel the pilot, meaning the pilot needs to feel the restraints, and there is no way of doing that that doesn't require some sort of handle back, like how the connpods have it, so thats a heavily unrealistic part of uprising.
DEL TORO RULES!!!
@@Nat20streak no. He better reject second movie, consider it as a joke and start making an ACTUAL second movie!!
@@Nat20streak indeed
That's the difference .....what's lack in Uprising.
Indeed :) Glad to see more people who agree on this.

It's passion, uprising doesn't see like they're put effort and passion into the film.
YES, Passion! totally Agree.
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.
DJ Weapon yes.i was actually looking for people review about the conn pod. I feel the same, some of the scenes just doesn't make sense at all. Just hard to believe that they are inside the giant robot ...more like they are running on some high tech treadmill..damn.
Same here. I was actually very surprised at how little CG was used for this.
It is so amazing that now I even can tell what you have contributed in a movie. Nobody does metallic surfaces and machinery look more convincing then Legacy EFX!
were any kaiju hurt in the making of this video?
yes
douchebag patrol llloo
*BIG TIME*
The magic of this will be lost in the sequel
Has lost.
They effed up the sequel
offff prediction
Ayo future man, why u not warn em?!! Damn
@@Wolfboy_109 the warnings did not come
but at least The black is good
Loved this movie! Thanks for making it great LE!
The conn pods were so well designed!
GREAT work. This kind of dedication is what what made me feel like I was right next to the pilots. It FELT powerful and dangerous.
Everytime i watch a behind the scenes all i can think about is how long did this stuff take like this looks like years of work and writing and measurments but then you find out it only took weeks or months the movie world is a crazy industry and i love it!
respect for all these practical effects, most directors now days would use CGI, but Del Toro knows whats people want to see.
I will work for you, for free.
No, I will pay you to let me work in your studio!
I can scrub toilets!!!
not cool, dude
not cool at all

You guys are so awesome. The movie looked great because of your guys' hard work, dedication, and love put into making these props
INSANE JOB, BIG UP to LEGACY EFFECTS

That is insane! Great work guys!
Amazing stuff
What if just what if, we use that huge machine to play video games? oOHH...
This is jaw-dropping stuff.
So cool and crazy! Especially at 2:26-2:30!
great job
Awesome.
It’d be awesome to be in one of those rigs tbh! Who’s with me?
대단하네요
Amazing video

I LOVE It

How someone comes up and designs this is beyond me
too Awesome!
Cool
Like
Yes
👍
that legit looks so fucking sick
Show us the crimson typhoon helmet
WE ARE GETTING IN THR FUTURE BOYS
Legacy effects We are waiting for ur work in 2.0
I was thinking about a similar system to a book of mine. Although there the pilot would be bound at the waist and then free to wiggle around. This stuff hanging from the ceiling is awesome too but not very practical.
Still, you have my respect. And my thumbs up! :-)
Yeah... I imagined the same thing. Like if they were somehow able to make an amusement park ride based off the conn-pods.
This is prop porn, and I love it. Keep it up!
And to think we went from this to teenagers doing backflips with 2000 tons robots...
Guess what's missing from Uprising
Style and mythic symbolism in my opinion
Where can I get one of these!? It looks so awesome!!!
It’s like there actually building the jaeger
SketchUp FTW.
Amazing job ;-)
Wow I want to work there
good
MK 1 : A lot of cable in conn pod
MK 4 : Wireless
суперррр
Who knew advanced VR was already done in 2013
Robot? Wow
They were actually in a giant mech head!!!!!
This is the ONLY thing uprising needs
What happens if some one stole that and has an actual conn-pod build
Fuck this shit is fucking awsome!
Was that 3d max or Maya i saw... just wondering
We need a C.R. pacific rim with you in the con pod fighting jaegers or kaiju
Damn, I just love this movie so much!
Not a fan of the black nor uprising.
It says click but you cannot click the video lmao
wow so awesome treet in pacific rim giant robot hu
¿No ay mas vídeos de Titanes del pacífico?
tyty
Grand fix how do the stand up with out tipping over
Ông ơi ông ra phần 3 đi ông ơi
what if pacific rim is real but still in progress
I want to make my own at home conn pod
ಸೂಪರ್
They didn't need to make the conn-pod for Coyote because there was never any scenes inside it.
I wonder which country the helmet on the far left was for.
LoopDeLoop coyote search it up
Pacific Rim Simulator pls
I can only imagine that for the Russians getting water thrown at them constantly for the fight scene , it would be hard to breath for air and call a time out when they need it badly
Can Kinect give feedback?
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.
0:51 Iron Man abs. :)
Cuando vi la película por primera vez creí que los robots,kaiju y armaduras eran de verdad y mi madre me dijo que no eran dé verdad pero yo sigo creyendo qué son dé verdad aunque no lo sean😏😉🐶
And Uprising failed with this! Pacific Rim made the whole thing already seems futuristic and also feels realistic to pilot the Jeagers in the first movie, but cames Uprising with its "upgraded" mark 6 Jeagers that looks like the pilots were in a electric treadmill stead of piloting a colossal robot!
EXACTLY !!!!
Stil amazing antil now
woooooo
So they use autodesk for the computer work, interesting
Maya specifically. It's the most popular software for hard surface stuff without a doubt.
or maybe use 'em for a sequel. :D
This is What was missing in the sequel.
I knew the cockpit look too real for CG, I was right
the name is like the man behind the slaughter but its called pacific rim behind the scene
