While I enjoy hearing Adam talk in the shop, THIS is a great direction for new content. Adam is asking many of the detailed questions I would ask and his guests are providing appropriately detailed answers. Thanks to both parties for not dumbing it down.
I do agree, but honestly, his voice over manages to make it sound like an Ad, when it doesn't (and shouldn't) need to. It was the same with the great Royal Caribbean content. He seems to put his corporate voice on... IMO
Adam, even if you're not reading this, I want you to know that you have been so influential to so many people in positive ways, Including myself and my family, furthering our creativity and curiosity.
As someone who grew up with the first film and cartoon series, it's hard to describe how happy it makes me to know this franchise is properly revived. Afterlife was a wonderful film that made me laugh AND cry, but there being another movie set in the same universe and timeline really drives home that it's happening.
The practical effects are honestly amazing. I'm so glad that these videos are coming back. And I'm very very excited to see how the Mood Slime returns!!!
wonder if it's like "Hi honey, how was work?" "I made 50 gallons of slime!". "Nice, have some blancmange".. But is why I find these behind the scenes fascinating, so screen matching slime for colour and consistency.
Fun Fact: On the set of Ghostbusters, Dan Aykroyd referred to the Slimer ghost as the ghost of John Belushi. Slimer's eating was based on Belushi's cafeteria scene in the movie Animal House.
Great to see Adam finally getting together with Doug! That’s a SFX dream team right there! Been waiting for these since last summer when I heard you’d visited the set!
Adam & Tested... Thank you SO much for these behind the scenes interviews. It's so rare to see the true heroes of films like Ghostbusters, namely the props and effects people. Without their skills and ingenuity amazing films like this would never see the light of day! And to all those unsung heroes... Thank you for your efforts 👍👍👍
It always surprises me how temporary the movie business is - the fact that they had to use film footage to get the behaviour of the slime right, rather than someone in the 80s writing down the original recipe so that future artists could replicate it and find an up to date alternative is incredible.
My friend worked for the company that did the slime for the original. She made 55 gallons barrels full for months. Cool to see this focus on the new slime!
Methyl-cellulose. Big temperature window of stability, as well as flowability. Mix it just like they did and you’re golden. Also great for mucus, rick and Morty portal fluid, and turning any fruit juice into a nice sauce without the darkening from cooking down.
As a kid who grew up with the Ghostbusters, I love this. Working on a GB film would be so fantastic. Those guys must be having a blast. Working hard, no doubt, but it's gotta be fun.
Fun stuff! I knew it’d be cellulose based but it’s interesting to see how they measure and mix it. I’d always thought the green colouring would be UV reactive glow-in-the-dark powder as it had a very similar colour and was freely available in joke shops in that era.
so cool you got to go on set for this one too - your behind the scenes of the first of these reboots was incredible and got me so hyped. and that movie delivered!
This reminded me of when I was a kid, infatuated with movies. All I wanted to do was make props, special effects, miniatures. I loved everything about cameras and sets... Now I'm an adult working a horrific desk job. Success, I guess.
Would be cool to know the recipe (cornstarch?) for kids' parties etc... likely can find but his seems super safe. otherwise amazing to see it in real time. again as always... thanks adam.
Guar and xanthan gum are a lot easier to get in bulk and probably a fair bit cheaper. I've used guar gum a lot, and it is super mucus-like all on it's own. I also have a few tubs of xanthan gum that is used as water-compatible adhesives, though I've never watered it down into slime. Very tempting all of a sudden. 😁
@@C-M-E Xanthan gum is 100% what was used. An easily bought compound, much cheaper than sourcing the other stuff and buying in large bulk. It's used far and wide for mass-produced stuff -- if it was more expensive, other methyl-cellulose alternative stuff would be used. Plus it is mentioned in the video that it is food-safe. Damn, there's even a Babish video recreating McDonald's sweet and sour sauce, and using it as it was an ingredient they had listed. Vegan bakers all over youtube use it for anything that needs gluten. If you were working a production, using store-bought / proven food safe, for actors, would you choose something available to buy on a food aisle, or stuff needed to be specially bought from a chemical company?
@@pixiniartsAgreed! It feels like practical effects add a little extra something or a nice randomness to scenes. If you're lucky you get a fun reaction from the actor and in this case Adam.
YESSS! I made my very own slime with potato flour - food coloring back in my Ghostbusters 2 slime gun inspiration in it was so beautiful when squirt on neighbours houses walls with our custom slime guns (water guns with little custom work for thick slime on nozzle etc) and wearing our Ghostbusters jump suits with name badges - yes we made them also ourselves - today I am 45 and still want to do all same but am smart enough to not do it - at least to my neighbour house walls \,,/
I was wondering why the back tube fired before the front one on Adam's test shot but now I realize that it was on backwards.... That's such a cool rig, I feel like I would have loved working on this movie. ❤😂
Seeing the sliming effect made me realize something: if a ghost passing through solid matter leaves ectoplasmic residue behind, wouldn’t it leave that residue in the open spaces inside the human body? Sinuses and mouth, but what about the lungs and stomach? How would the body react to such a foreign substance?
That tank system is exactly how flamethrowers were/are made. Pressurized tanks used to drive the fuel out of the fueltank. Just add a hose and a nozzle with ignition instead of the bowl = flamethower.

So what is the Food Thickener?
Are we gonna get more videos on this like the props?

He did a really good spot for Afterlife too!
Adam is a great interviewer.
I’ve been waiting impatiently since Adam told me at DragonCon that they got to go on set! Stay awesome!!
Hope you enjoyed it! More to come.
Adam, even if you're not reading this, I want you to know that you have been so influential to so many people in positive ways, Including myself and my family, furthering our creativity and curiosity.
We will pass your message along to Adam!
Thank you@@tested
So glad these behind the scenes came back! Not only to see all the work and action going on for the movie but to see Adam's enthusiasm for everything!
As someone who grew up with the first film and cartoon series, it's hard to describe how happy it makes me to know this franchise is properly revived.
Afterlife was a wonderful film that made me laugh AND cry, but there being another movie set in the same universe and timeline really drives home that it's happening.
THAT'S GREAT! REAL PHYSICAL CONTACT! COLLECT SAMPLES!
Somebody blows their nose and you want to keep it?!
@@Rob-H it'll go great alongside the spores, molds and fungi.
*Actually that's not too bad.
You're not sleeping with it, are you? @@Rob-H
@@SpaceWizardCosplay is the atomic weight of cobalt 58.9?
I love how the slime pack just looks like a prop that would be in the film😂
I thought the same thing. Like a compressed mood slime launcher or something
plasem distribution system
We did that on purpose . One of the slime tubes came under the right arm like the wand would
Don,t be surprised if Haslab starts bringing out wearable versions of those
The practical effects are honestly amazing. I'm so glad that these videos are coming back. And I'm very very excited to see how the Mood Slime returns!!!
Had no idea this was filmed in the UK!!! Explains James Acaster😊👍👍👍👍 Its so amazing and brilliant to see PRACTICAL effects for GB! 👍👍
Glad to hear all the effort that was put into the slime research.
Has been said before but bears repeating…Adam’s excitement & enthusiasm for his craft is contagious!
Prop master is having a blast having Adam in his shop. You can see the twinkles in his eyes of utter happiness
Prop master hasn't featured yet.thats the sfx team (senior)
He’s a good friend of mine! His enthusiasm for his work is infectious!
wonder if it's like "Hi honey, how was work?" "I made 50 gallons of slime!". "Nice, have some blancmange".. But is why I find these behind the scenes fascinating, so screen matching slime for colour and consistency.
Sorry random question do you know the name of this prop company? I’m uk based and wondered what company this is?
Ghostbusters fanatic here, loved every minute of this!!! Thank you
Stay tuned - so many more videos to come!
@@tested And we are so looking forward to them!
@@tested We can,t wait
Fun Fact: On the set of Ghostbusters, Dan Aykroyd referred to the Slimer ghost as the ghost of John Belushi. Slimer's eating was based on Belushi's cafeteria scene in the movie Animal House.
Slimer's real name is Onionhead according to production notes...
I always thought that anyway
Belushi was meant to play Dr. Venkman at one point, but he tragically passed away before Ghostbusters was filmed.
@@_b_9895 His final film was Blues Brothers 1980 alongside Dan Aykroyd
Great to see Adam finally getting together with Doug! That’s a SFX dream team right there! Been waiting for these since last summer when I heard you’d visited the set!
I like that the slime effect apparatus looks like some Ghostbuster gear.
12 grams per litre. Then we watch Adam converting. The absolute best!!
It sounds like the fun has been restored to GhostBusters.
There's been nothing at the movies that's got me this pumped since Afterlife
What an incredible job to be a prop guy. You get to basically materialize your imagination....fantastic.
I’m very pleased to see practical effects being used
I love how the enthusiasm & passion behind the work. I loved watching this movie!
Adam & Tested... Thank you SO much for these behind the scenes interviews. It's so rare to see the true heroes of films like Ghostbusters, namely the props and effects people. Without their skills and ingenuity amazing films like this would never see the light of day! And to all those unsung heroes... Thank you for your efforts 👍👍👍
I love Adams genuine excitment, enthusiasm and apreciation for the props and the guys who make them.
It always surprises me how temporary the movie business is - the fact that they had to use film footage to get the behaviour of the slime right, rather than someone in the 80s writing down the original recipe so that future artists could replicate it and find an up to date alternative is incredible.
They're going to have the Ghostbusters II Slime Thrower in Frozen Empire!!!! Thats awesome.
Mood slime!! Love to see it, I can't wait to watch this movie 🚫👻
My friend worked for the company that did the slime for the original. She made 55 gallons barrels full for months. Cool to see this focus on the new slime!
This is the best kind of promo for the movie
great to know the recipe for the slime. I wonder if any thickener will do, of if there is a specific one needed
Methyl-cellulose. Big temperature window of stability, as well as flowability. Mix it just like they did and you’re golden. Also great for mucus, rick and Morty portal fluid, and turning any fruit juice into a nice sauce without the darkening from cooking down.
These behind the scenes video for Afterlife where fantastic, I’m so happy you are doing it all over again.
So many more to come!
How great is that slime rig! Its so finished looking.
As a kid who grew up with the Ghostbusters, I love this. Working on a GB film would be so fantastic. Those guys must be having a blast. Working hard, no doubt, but it's gotta be fun.

Wonderful. Childhood knowledge want fulfilled. Seeing the mood slime set off so many nostalgia bombs.
I love to see these fill set video’s so amazing to see professionals at work
The slime thing is almost like a mini slime blower 😮
Oh! A cake batter, Yep! That's the best tool for the job, love that. :)
Now, every franchise can make their own authentic slime. 😊😊😊
This reminded me of when I was a kid, infatuated with movies. All I wanted to do was make props, special effects, miniatures. I loved everything about cameras and sets... Now I'm an adult working a horrific desk job. Success, I guess.
I loved the series that was done with Afterlife, so glad that this behind the scenes series is being done.
Omg! YAY!!
Would be cool to know the recipe (cornstarch?) for kids' parties etc... likely can find but his seems super safe. otherwise amazing to see it in real time.
again as always... thanks adam.
I'd guess it's Xanthan gum, which is used for like vegan baking, or in condiments.
It's Methylcellulose, used a lot in the food industry.
@@buckaroobunnyslippershe even calls it “meth-cel” in the video. And Raimis calls it out in the commentary for the first film in the library scene.

Love these behind the scenes!. The FX guys are British 😊 brilliant!
The production value of this video is amazing! Def makes you wanna watch the film. Super quality content y'all.
That arm-mounted particle thrower at 00:50 is pretty awesome
Closer to the original nutrona wand concept. Which was wrist mounted.
Usually when I watch Slime Tutorials on CZcams, there's more singing involved!
Sliming Adam must have been fun. If he ever visits the UK, that would be on my bucket list. Great series of videos here. Thanks.
I like the attention to detail.
I like how the slime machine looks like an on screen prop itself.
When you think they could have settled on doing this as a purely cg simulation, I love that they did it practical.
@@pixiniartsAgreed! It feels like practical effects add a little extra something or a nice randomness to scenes. If you're lucky you get a fun reaction from the actor and in this case Adam.
I can't wait for the movie!!
Getting slimed is now on my bucket list!
...you could do it after
Someone blows their nose and you want to keep it? 😂
Loved this, really looking forward to seeing more Ghostbusters!
Ha!

Fantastic....
My slime blower is also just a glorified compressed air super soaker. Love the old practical effects.
Oozinator
Glad you had a ghost fly through you and got to see what it was like when Bill got Egon's sample in the library ;)
So much fun!
I was wondering why the back tube fired before the front one on Adam's test shot but now I realize that it was on backwards.... That's such a cool rig, I feel like I would have loved working on this movie. ❤😂
OMG Amazing to watch Adam in his element 👻 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Awesome! So glad to see Adam doing videos again for the mew film. His ones on Afterlife were amazing.
I love that the slime rig is set up like a mini slime blower (even though the movie setup was two slime tanks straddling a central air tank)
That pressure prop would be awesome to build
The two of us built it after much testing
NORM! Nice to see Adam back in the behind the scenes of ghostbusters I have been looking forward to seeing this as much as the movie.
Doug: "Well, no one's hated it yet." (sample size: 2)
Can confirm. 13 grams of xantham gum plus 1 litre of h2o = slime.
Pretty cool.
Adam: HE SLIMED ME.
And he also added "I feel so funky" afterward!
Ray " That,s great actual physical contact!"
"Egon - your mucus."
Seeing the sliming effect made me realize something: if a ghost passing through solid matter leaves ectoplasmic residue behind, wouldn’t it leave that residue in the open spaces inside the human body? Sinuses and mouth, but what about the lungs and stomach? How would the body react to such a foreign substance?
And so the Ghostbusters content begins. I can't wait to see what yall have in store for us
The ghostbusters movies are my favorite movies of all time. I am so excited to watch Frozen Empire!!!!
Slime cooking show ❤
Epic. Livin' the life, man. Keep up the good work.
Now this is movie making
It's slime time
Now I'm wondering, instead of waiting for the bubbles to settle, could they put it in a vacuum chamber instead?
I love Slime man's accent!
Love the Baja Blast color
That tank system is exactly how flamethrowers were/are made. Pressurized tanks used to drive the fuel out of the fueltank. Just add a hose and a nozzle with ignition instead of the bowl = flamethower.
woohoo! new movie coming up! Can't wait to see it!
The whole time they showed the slime I thought of the part in ghostbusters 2 where there yelling at the pink slime
I hope Adam gets the chance to interview the entire cast when the movie comes
Quite a bit of that powder got sucked into the vents of the mixer :P
Would love to see Adam cameo in Ghostbusters or another franchise he loves.
Adam too!
I mean they let Ron Jeremy have a crowd cameo in the first one.
Saving this until after I've seen the film!
I loved your series on the previous ghostbusters movie, I’m so looking forward to this
I feel so funky.
Love this! Always fascinating to see movie magic in progress. 😀
Adam is such a Ghosthead!
Dude! The mood slime is back! Does this mean we get to see the statue of liberty walking on shore again???
Absolutely amazing.
Been waiting on this!!!
You lucky man!!!
7:14 Did we just get a spoiler on something coming in the movie, or was there a trailer-shot somewhere that I missed?
As far as I'm aware, the only hint we got regarding the mood slime was a behind the scenes photo of the slime blower nozzle.
They also used the Haslab proton packs in som scenes in GB frozen empire as well. Which means that they,ll go up in stock as ascreen used prop/replica
Methyl cellulose. same thing we use for blood.
Ohhh the lightning that hit one World Trade Center spire 0:25
Adam is so lucky. 😊
