These craftsmen and artists are the heroes of movie making , RESPECT !!!!!!
Ya and I bet they dont get real rich either all the money goes to the fuckin movie stars instead of any of the people that actually make the movies possible
I've always thought that final end scene in 2010 of the monolith in the primevil swamp was absolutely beautiful.
Always amazed how good the miniature work looks in Ghostbusters compared to other movies of the era. They just nailed the lighting and camera lenses. Looks so real.
Lots of great photos in this. Thanks for not forcing zooms or other movement into the pics, but just letting them speak for themselves.
Yes, that was my whole concept for this doc. It´s a casual conversation with a slide show. I don't like the new overdone documentaries that have music video style editing.
@@piercefilm I can't tell you how much I appreciate it since now apparently EVERYONE is doing the stupid face-on conversation and 3 seconds later cutting to a profile shot while they're still talking. Why am I looking at the left ear of the person I was just watching a moment ago? Your videos are truly entertaining!
8:27 That depicts the suitmation from the makings of the Japanese Godzilla films. Godzilla suit actors, Nakajima-san and Tsutomu Kitagawa would be proud.
In Ghostbusters they reused Blade Runner and Blade Runner reused this building from Escape to New York and that was shoot on a very low budget.
Thats why movies didn't cost 200 million back than.
I mean to be fair 30 million in 1984 is 85 million now.
I really enjoy these short interviews, a perspective you don't normally get. I appreciate you sharing these extended segments. Cheers!
Thanks. More coming soon!
@@piercefilm i lovewatch i learn some stuff
I wonder now with CGI
That 5his great Art Form well seaseti exists
Be extinct
Incredible work on both shows. Especially considering that they were launching Boss with two these high profile shows in the pipeline. Aside from some wonky opticals on a couple of the terror dog shots in Ghostbusters, all of the effects for both 2010 and Ghostbusters still look beautiful to this day.
Thank you so much for posting! Such a privilege to listen to all of these artists recollections of their nuts and bolts experiences of working on such iconic films.
Thanks for this great documentary, Berton. You really captured the time & I enjoyed seeing the faces from the past!!
That's awesome to realize those buildings were retrofitted Blade Runner buildings 😲
These are great videos with some awesome stories! Love all the behind the scene stuff.
Thanks for watching. More coming soon!
13:20 - :40 so is that why we got so many exciting movies with complex plots that hold up decades later?
Awesome, thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching! More segments coming up.
These videos are great! Really inspirational for amateur modelers to up their game. Great stuff!
Thanks for watching. More coming soon!
The small segment about Raise the Titanic is not correct. The films raising sequence that was filmed in the deep tank in Malta was 100% water. Salt was not used to simulate water scale. However, salt was added to the water when the Titanic model was filmed in the adjacent surface tank for a fly-past view of the raised ship. The salt was added to give more density to the otherwise plain water that was being pumped up out of the surface tank.
I think that's what Pete Gerard meant. Salt was used for a more realistic effect. Even if only for one shot or two. It worked better and was a great idea!
This is a wonderful series
At 5:30 we’re told Stay Puft stomps a Car, then another veers off and hits a Hydrant, well, I remember the Car hitting a fire Hydrant, and a Police Car was supposed to get stepped on, but, the Camera cuts before that happens....Anyone else wish they could’ve seen the table top Central Park miniature set?, cause I would’ve loved to have seen it!
Pretty sure the waterfalls of Naboo for Phantom Menace were also salt.
I just wish they'd get the rights to show the scenes along with those descriptions...
Way too expensive, and dealing with studios takes forever. You can watch all the scenes elsewhere here on CZcams. This doc is about the model makers and their stories. I don't work for the studios. I don't want to promote the movies. The "making of´s" on the DVD´s usually show footage.
All the work that went into the Stay puft scene. When you watch the movie, none of what he talks about, ie. moving cars, pink cadi getting stepped on, make it into the movie. The fire plug just pops for no reason in the finished film. Go look for yourself.
Maybe a pipe burst from the pressure?
👏 Yes!
Thanks for the upload!
Thank you for watching! More coming soon.
models always look better than CGi why? because computer modeled lights will NEVER match REAL light. and that’s the critical ingredient light
And the models are shot on 35mm or 70mm which has a higher resolution than 2k or 4k. Plus a lot of CG is based on standardized previsuals.
CGI is almost there and will be soon enough. Saying "never" is just a way of gatekeeping the old ways.
What's the most common materials for making miniatures and scale models? Are they off-the-shelf and widely available? Are toys ever used in filmmaking?
Everything is used. Watch my "Moon" and "Total Recall" segments on this channel.
Do you ever use Chip Board in the Builds
Are some pieces cast in Bondo and casting Resin
The documentary looks great - is it on Netflix?
No, I am uploading it here on CZcams. A new segment every week!
@@piercefilm it's fascinating stuff
What was the scale of the miniature? Since those are toy cars
1/24th maybe? Or 25th...
@@piercefilm thanks! Making a miniature city for a university project, and all of your videos have taught me something!
:)
15:44 The rocket nozzles for the Discovery are all wrong... and nothing like the original...
Back in 1983 there were no behind the scenes photos and the filming model was destroyed. All they had were some dark frame blow ups from the film to go by. Do many people notice the difference in the film? Probably not.
It's a shame all this ingenuity and creativity has been lost to bland CGI.
Yeah and it doesn’t hold up well. There is a place for both.
There is still plenty of ingenuity and creativity involved with CGI, its just in a different way. Blame directors for using too much CGI, not the artists who make the amazing possible digitally.
@@stevencramsie9172 Yes, I don't mean to disparage CG artists. It's just that CGI is used way too much these days. I think the 90s had a much better balance of its use.
Ahora las películas son puro CGI
