- The making of the special effects of JAWS 3D was filmed in 1983 by me, Erik Visser. I worked for Private Stock Effects in North Hollywood helping constructing one of the sharks and later on working on the set with the fish tank. Video production of this documentary Erik Visser ©2017. All music ©Buma/Stemra Erik Visser & Roger Heijltjes. If you want to hear the songs completely, find them on this CZcams channel MrAdamyork1 & / erikclips Enjoy :-)
Finally some behind the scenes footage of the making of the shark
Instablaster...
That behind the scenes look at the mother shark blowing up was jawsome!
The best behind the scenes thus far! Wished they would include this and more on the Jaws 3D Blu-ray.
Hi Marco,
Thanks for your kind respond. I agree with your opinion. They can contact me and make a deal.
It was great fun working on that movie so long a go ... :-) (1983)
Grz,
Erik Visser
p.s. In September 2018 I will release my new song & clip "Yolk In The Sky" on CZcams. So stay tuned ...
Agreed! And a lenticular repro poster of guess whose coming to dinnner
@@MrAdamyork1 maybe they don't know about it - have you reached out to them - maybe you also can do commentary along with actors
For years I've been a huge fan of jaws3 and to see this footage made me so happy I only wish that they showed the scene on they did Phillips dimise by that I mean when he's inside the sharks mouth my favorite scene in the film
Amazing footage to see, this is Gold IMHO. I just wish there was more out there showing the filming of the large shark models inc FitzRoyce getting killed.
EXACTLY!!!
Ya why is this like the only thing we have of what the shark looked like outside of the movie
@@goji9892 there’s some photos of the larger shark on display at sea world in the 80s after the filming, it was on display for photo ops and such, that’s all I’ve really seen though
@@Project-Jaden I have saw that but I happened to come across a really pixelated photo of a separate shark animatronic which only had a head and used for close ups. You can see that separate animatronic when it’s in the control center before it explodes. It has a sharper snout and looks like a pretty unconvincing effect but I can tell you one thing it’s not the one displayed on sea world. I think the one displayed in sea world was used for swimming shots, like when the dolphins attack the shark and its swimming to eat the characters (I forgot there names) you can see real humans and a giant shark, you can even see the robotics holding it at one scene so it must be the animatronic on sea world. Sorry for the long paragraph just wanted to tell you something
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Been obsessed with this film since the age of 4. Even travelled to Sea World in Orlando expecting to see the Undersea Kingdom as a child. Always wanted to know more about how this movie was made. Mama shark is the best looking shark in the franchise.
Thank you for sharing - you've made my day.
I watched JAWS 3D in 1986/87 when I was 10/11 and I watched it again yesterday and ut made me so tearful. I'm having a mid life crisis I think
This film represents one of only a few movies that I would say really brings me back to my childhood. I remember making my dad bring me and my little brother to the theater over and over to watch this. Must have seen it 5 or 6 times on the big screen and loved every minute of it. Atari, The A-Team, and Jaws 3D...man those were the days!
Wow! I love documentary stuff like this when it's someone going around with a video camera and just recording what's happening. It's so much more real and honest than these heavily edited movie promo type "Making of" documentaries.
39:29 just realized this was supposed to be the shark breaking though the glass in the control room.
This is a real treat!
You have no idea how thankful and fortunate i am to see this rare footage!
Personally Jaws 3D holds a special spot in my heart and despite what many and critics say i have a profound love for the effects in this film for the time it was actually pretty revolutionary and awesome and in my eyes still is!!
Thanks a million brother and keep up the good work on your channel just subbed.
And actually digging the music!
Keep up the awesome work man and thanks for giving me the great childhood memory that is Jaws3D!
Aways respect the hardwork that goes into filmmaking.
Thank you so much for sharing this with the fans. Jaws 3D is an underrated classic. They should have contacted you for this footage to include on the blu ray as they didn’t do the movie justice by not adding anything. Thanks again so much, we fans appreciate it
Thanks for the upload. Movie history right here.
42:02 Dat smile xD
That was awesome! I had seen the 3D version a while back on my Playstation VR system which made the movie look allot better. Now seeing all of the work put into it makes me want to watch again!
Wow. I had no idea they used so many miniatures in this. This is the most comprehensive bts I've seen so far for Jaws 3D. Thank you so much for sharing!
How was this released almost 4 years ago and it never came across my radar until now, it doesn’t matter because I’m glad I found it because this is gold. I’ve always been sad since I was a kid at the lack of behind the scenes stuff for this film so this is a true treasure and your a legend for making this. Thank you so much!!!!
Thanks for sharing!
44:19 OMG THE MOMMY SHARK DEATH!!! OMG THX FOR UPPLOADING THIS!!!
thank you ... Please share it with the world .. :-)
Thank you for posting this.
I love JAWS 3D and enjoy being able to watch it on my 3D Television now.
39:59-40:08
Had they used & completed the original
electronic composited visual effects
in *"JAWS 3-D",* this take of Mama Jaws
crashing through the window with the
water cascading into the camera would've been far better than what is in the final film.
AWESOME. Thanks so much for uploading this.
12:22 !!wow!! look at that shark move and the way it's done, not the way jaws (1975) did it with a hand remote and an animatronic shark, they used a pulley-like system with shark in the air.
The exploding shark effect must been really painstaking to get the shot right. If any error occurred you have to drain and clean that fish tank, fill it back with water putting another shark in. Very nervous work. A lot of miniature work in this movie
Oh my God. Thank you so much for this.
@MrAdamyork1 I mean, you've seen Jaws The Revenge and IT right?
That kid is standing in way too near a proximity to a shark while wearing a yellow rain jacket
Gonna lose an arm that way...
precious
Wauw, dit is kostbaar materiaal voor de fans!
Thanks for sharing this footage Erik!
Better than Jaws 3. Really interesting to watch.
Thanks a lot for this document Erik !! this is wonderful !!
Thank you so very much for this :)
Mooi werk, Erik.!
This footage is amazing. Thank you for uploading! What was on the U-Matic tape? Have you tried taking it to a professional transfer house and having them bake it to restore it?
Is that Alec Gillis?!?! Co-Owner of Amalgamated Dynamics?!?
Not uncommon for uncredited roles. But yeah he was doing minature work for Jaws 3 and Alien 3 prior to Alien Resurrection and the 2 AVP films.
Incredible Footage. Thanx.
This was So Cool!!! Thanx So Much 4 Uploading this!!!!
Thanks a lot for the upload!
Loved this! Thanks :)
5:39 was that meant to be the jaw at the end of the movie?
Are you in touch with any of these people anymore ? This video is such time capsule
Yeah , some of them ....
is it true you guys snuck an ET doll into the scene when the shark explodes ?
Could you contact UNIVERSAL - they could master the VHS in HD and include it with the UHD of JAWS 3-D
Haai, Erik. Top!
Thank you for the amazing upload. Do you know why they never used your version of the shark breaking through the glass and instead went with a terrible special effect in the final product? Also, were you ever around the large shark models? Did you get to see them operate?
We used our version for breaking through the glass. But due to political mishap another company got to finish some FX. Keep in mind that most FX were computerized in these days , using very slow computers. No, I wasn't around the large shark models or seen them being operated. We only did the SFX in North Hollywood. Watch this to see the large shark models.! www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9001415/Unseen-scenes-photos-Steven-Spielbergs-25ft-mechanical-shark-filming-Jaws.html Grtz, V
MrAdamyork1 Thank you very much for the reply! Awesome to speak to someone who had a hand in terrifying me when I was nine years old! Cheers!
@@MrAdamyork1 I just had a question, was there even an animatronic shark or was it all puppets?
I'm curious Erik, what led you to do this type of work and what did you do after Jaws 3D? I love these unknown BTS videos! Thanks for uploading :)
Amazing how how?
MrAdamyork1 Would you be OK if I utilize a scene of the model shark from your making of video? I’m trying to restore a rare deleted scene from the original cut of jaws 3-D which you captured on your footage (naturally, I will gladly credit you in the video/description).
In any event, I appreciate you for uploading this rare behind the scenes home video (easily more entertaining than the finished product). I’m a huge fan of anything related to Jaws and jaws 3-D and your shared video is easily one of my top favorite treasures to watch over and again on CZcams :)
Sincerely,
Geronimo300
Please mail me erik-clips@hotmail.com and I'll let you know about the conditions utilizing a scene. Grz, Erik V
Hello, I GooGled and found that you're active on CZcams. If more places I would like to know. What is your name? Further I want you to mention my name, music clips and my YT-channel MrAdamYork1. In 1983 I worked for Jaws 3D, as you know. I was also mentioned, with photo, in the film maker magazine National Photographer where my name was spelled wrong ... It's Erik with a K and not a C. Please keep me up to date with you actions. Sincerely, Erik Visser
Oh my god what is that thumbnail
Some of the footage here (exploding shark, shark going thru some sort of glass thing) are in this clip. The exploding shark footage slowed down is impressive, after seeing this video showing the actual high speed real time shot.

Seems like hell of a lot of effort making only to be completely ruined by a total lack of execution in the visual effects
For the uninitiated, this footage pertains to the first company hired for FX. There was some kind of dispute and this company was fired and another company brought in, who did a lousy job and probably were rushed. Most of the work done by the first company was scrapped.
0:18-0:20. what movie has that scary looking octopus?
The octopus was to be used in Jaws 3D in the amusement park were the shark attacks. It was cut out though. A lot of stuff never makes the screen. All that work for nothin' but it sure was fun ...!
why was it cut out?
I think the octopus was called _Captain Sink,_ right? You hear it mentioned in one of the scenes with the tourists walking through the Undersea Kingdom. That long arm that comes out of the wall to grab a nearby girl, I think that was meant to be the giant octopus, as if it were attacking the underwater tunnel and one of its arms has gotten inside. But I could be wrong about that.
@@MrAdamyork1 I'm glad you had fun but, when you're looking at the time, money you have and the shark effects rendering, I mean, yeah the amusement park bit seems natural, they surely would have something like that, but didn't you once ask yourself why the f are we spending time and money on this caricature octopus? lol
That movie has special effects? 🥴
Gosh. Was they all on Cocaine or Drunk before or after in the studios??? Working with no passion, or Creative talent. All of them was pissed of on making that movie. No wonder give Lansburg no more budget in this.
By the way..a very young Alec Ginnes;)
The only good thing about this "making of" was the end with the effect exploded of the head shark, the rest a waste of time. No screen of the big mechanical shark..just nothing.
Some of the model work here is just atrociously bad. You get the feeling they made these models then held them up and said..."That looks like a shark doesn't it??" 43:17 What the fuck is that?????
I love JAWS but the sequels are terrible..
Jaws 2 isnt bad tho
Some absolutely awful special effects that made the 1975 film look advanced. The shark in the last two Jaws movies looked like it was made by children. I know the 3d Tech was new, but they went backwards with the shark.
I love Jaws saw it at 5 yrs old. But Jaws 3-d is theeeeeee worst!!
You're sooooooo Right ..!!! But it was soooo much fun working on the SFX .. :-)
@@MrAdamyork1 hi do you have any pictures on the big shark animatronic or any other effect used for shark?
Nah revenge is the worst one
For me this is the best to worst
1. Jaws
2. Jaws 2
3. Jaws 3
4. jaws revenge
I love how they’re all clapping, cheering, & going “very good” “much better than yesterday”.....
Nah. Face it. This movie was total shit 😂
By far the worst shark movie ever but to me this shark is the most scary in the entire franchise
The making of the terrible effects
I am very happy to see this vidéo, @M.Adamyork1 can i use this for a review i made for Jaws 3D ?
Hello, Refering to my Jaws3D in your review is okay. Although I would like to be posted on what you write and want to see the published result. You can reach me through this YT channel, letting me know what link to use the review it. Did ya see my latest music clips? The Feel Of Love and I Didn't Close My Eyes. Please stay in touch.. Grz, Erik V
In addition to my previous reaction ... You will have to mention my CZcams address MrAdamYork1 so everybody can find their way to my Jaws clip and my music as well.
I also would like to know how and where your review will be published ... :-)
@@MrAdamyork1 glad you answered me, I'm going to do an analysis of the film on my channel, "Monstresdefilms" where I talk about monster films by summarizing the story in a light way, then I talk about how the film was made. The origin of the scenario, what I think of it, then the way the special effects were done (models, animatronics, sets, digital effects) who composed the music, what it evokes, and then the setting on stage, and the careers of actors. I'm passionate about cinema and special effects, and I think that in every good film there is bad and in every bad film there is good. And being a fan of the “Jaws” saga I find it a shame that there are so few archives of the creation of Jaws 3D.
@@MrAdamyork1 Hello,
I've almost finished my analysis of the film. Where can I send it to you? I'll mention your channel in the video and in the comments so that people can see your work. In any case, your video is a mine of information and I thank you for allowing me to use it.
