Dubbed as a "Love Letter" to the classic, the original 1984 Ghostbusters.
Afterlife attempted to capture the magic of the original movie and also bring it all into the 21st century

In order to do this, rather than concentrate on making things look modern and hyperrealistic, they had to concentrate on making sure they didn't.
The Proton Beam was something DNEG started working on early on when they had just begun principal photography.
On the camera test day, they had McKenna in the full Ghostbuster outfit and with the proton pack and they did some tests adding interactive lighting on set.
They started with something that was really similar to the 1984 version, including the colors, but after looking at the shot over and over they agreed that going toward something more advanced was a better choice.
So instead of the original big, stronger core beam and the other one overlapping, now there are actually millions of particles that give that final look and extra noise added on top of it. This gave the proton beam a modern look that at its heart still feels like the original.
All the ghosts started out as physical puppets built by Arjen Tuiten and his team.
They hand-sculped a very accurate replica of the Terror Dog from the original movie using nearly 300 kilos of clay.
They then used this as a mold for the foam latex "Skin" that would cover their animatronic puppet.
This puppet they used for close-ups and shots where they didn't have to show its whole body or show it moving excessively.
Then the VFX teams 3D scanned the Animatronic puppet and modeled their CG dog to look exactly like it.
The CG Terror dog was used in the full-body shots and in sequences where it had to run and jump.
In order to animate it they used a bull's behavior as a reference but also attempted to mimic the stop-motion animation look of the original movie.
There are other Ghost effects in the movie that were completely practical, like the Miner Ghost in the diner and even the scene where Ivo Shandor gets ripped in two.
Surprisingly enough, they actually built a puppet of J.K. Simmons and the entire effect was achieved practically.
with the dummy requiring only mild paintwork to hide the pre-rip seam on the clothing. Gozer too was based on the 1984 version.
And even though makeup took 5-1/2 hours to apply and consisted of various prosthetics, hair work, lenses, and a suit, in the end, the dynamics and lighting they had to add to give Gozer a powerful and menacing presence on set meant that a fully digital suit was preferred.
So Gozer from the neck down was CGI. This also allowed for a more surreal appearance as the team could lengthen her limbs. And while the team remained faithful to the performance, the composited face was often placed higher in the shot, and the leg and arms lengthened. As you can see here they slightly elongated her waist, arms, and legs, and made the body details a bit more translucent enhancing it all with bursts of energy traveling through her body.
But the most rewarding effect in Afterlife was also perhaps the most important, the most complex, and the most touching.
Harold Ramis who played Egon Spengler in the original Ghostbusters movie had sadly passed away 7 years before Afterlife was released but this "Love Letter" to the original could not be written without him.
One of the main problems was that the VFX teams didn't have any data for Harold, no life cast, no body scans, and no possibility of getting them.
Because we didn’t have any tangible data to start with, they decided the best approach was to first build a Digital Remis as he appeared in the 84 movie.
So they did high-res digital scans of the negatives of the original film and using single frames they built an exact replica of Remis, with a full set of expressions. Then they comped him in a shot of the 84 movie with Dan Aykroyd as a test to prove they had a near-perfect base before they began the aging process.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried a little at the end 😂
42yo man here, and I still can't watch that scene without tearing up a little.
Afterlife is a great movie and was a great send-off and tribute for the late Harold Ramis.
I cry everytime because it reminds me of my dad. I wish I could hug his ghost
I did too!!! 😢
Since Egon was always my favorite 'buster - his unexpected passing in 2014 hit me pretty hard.
And then 7 years later, Jason Reitman brings Egon back to the big screen in spirit form.
And I also shed a few tears.
What I loved the most about Ghostbusters Afterlife was that they didn't try to give Egon a voice.
Ghostbusters fan for life.
82 baby. Here . When I was a kid , og ghostbusters movie was such a part of my life till this day as I’m a adult ,it’s unreal how that movie characterized my life and how I grew up in the late 80s into the 90s . As far as looking back it will get old , man the og ghostbusters will never be replicated , NEVER!
I absolutely loved this movie. I grew up with the original movies and was real concerned they would screw it up. But, they accomplished a marvelous continuation of the story and kept it real. What I've just learned in this video makes me love even more. I didn't think that was possible.
The female version was screwed up. If we don't consider that, this last movie was a best
these types of continuations/remakes rare these days, the fact they went that extra mile to put a dead actor in the movie, without any data for it just shows how passionate they were!
I agree. Amazing dedication
It makes a huge difference when it is being done by people that respect the source material. When I originally heard much of the stuff that went on just to bring Egon into the movie, and the respect given to Ramis's family, I knew this was going to be an amazing movie.
@@magaunac There hadn't been a Ghostbusters movie in 30 years.
This one truly made it possible to forget about the 2016 remake disaster
I saw the. She first ghostbusters at the cinema when I was a kid , then the second when I was a teenager with my friends , then this one with my own kids . I cried at the end .😢z I wish they could have convince Rick Moranis to come back for this one though
Afterlife actually had me n tears
It took me a while to see this movie, but when I did I really thought the Egon ghost was amazing.
Respect to the works!
Might be the last time we get to see bill Dan and Ernie rocking the packs enjoy it guys.
This comment didn't age well, as they've announced the sequel.
bringing poor harold ramis back was the coolest of all-----one day this might be done for real heres hoping for all whove lost loved ones ...at least til we can join them on the other side!
Miss You Igon !
What you use for editing??..... please tell
Thanks! good job😂❤🔥
So glad for this movie. It confirms the roots movies are incredible and the woke movies are crap
All in all it was a good tribute to harold ramis I thought they was very respectful and very accurate to his character r.i.p harold ramis you'll be sadly missed mate 👍😢
W. Video❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
brhuuu😲
😲😲😲😲😲
There was ZERO need to make any remake past the original.
Caching
Оу май
They should have made a young Egon since you dont age in heaven
Ghostbusters Afterlife is a great movie and it was done right unlike the new Indiana Jones movie that is pure crap.
Theres nothong like the original.thats says it all
So you say new is better than old how did gozer get out? That is why I forget old
CGI effects
Afterlife is nothing more than using the original as a blueprint. A checklist of nostalgic dialog and scenes that recounts the same events in the original reheated. Gozer was not even smart as an entity and why even bring her back?
They didn't make Ghostbusters great again. Ghostbusters Afterlife was very mediocre.
Am bore in 2014
Crappy movie what are you talking about.
