Special Effects Secrets of Wired's Comic-Con Robot

  • The secret of Wired's Comic-Con robot is that it actually isn't a robot at all. It's a cleverly designed suit that employs a combination of practical effects tricks to give the illusion of a lurching heavy mech. We speak to the makers of this amazing suit to learn about its innovations and how it's unlike any special effect used in movie production.

    I think having an actual physical prop looks more real than pixel effects, and give actors something to properly react too! Looks amazing!

    • @dharkbizkit
      @dharkbizkit 10 лет назад +2

      well yes, but it depends on. iam not that big of an cgi fan but i see the benefits. robocop is a good example. ed209 looks great as a model but with modern cgi, he would be better. for a simple reason. the model was shot by stop motion. and you see it awfully intense. on the other hand. robots like the ones from transformers simply cant be real probs. same goes for makeup. take terminator. arnolds face mask looked cool, but it you look closely, you see the flaws. data from TNG has the same thing. the mask makes the face bigger on the spot where it's place. in T3 arnolds face was ripped off so hard, that they had to use cgi. and although the cgi isnt top of the class it looks way better in terms of realism.

    BEWM! right in the kisser! eat that, ILM!

    • @huxivoice
      @huxivoice 10 лет назад +2

      The fact that he said that is a bit hypocritical considering the process used to build this robot involves computer modeling. The same used for cgi like ILM might do. Nothing against this amazing art, but many "Pixels" were used to make this.

    • @huxivoice
      @huxivoice 9 лет назад

      I, in fact, do understand the word, and I used it in the correct context. An artist who insults someone else's medium, when they were using that medium, would be considered a hypocrite. They probably had a few cg test models, and animations they made to make sure the end result would work, so my comment is valid and yours lacks credibility. Im sorry, do I have to give you the definitions of both those words?

    • @huxivoice
      @huxivoice 9 лет назад

      Dude, I honestly don't give a shit. It isn't ok to say another medium is inferior to yours even if it is saturated. Everyone gives cg a bad rap because it isn't always used effectively, and these guys saying that in an interview when they are using that tech, is very childish if anything. I don't fucking care if you don't think it's hypocritical, but it is disrespectful to those who use cg as a medium. It's a cool robot, or puppet, or whatever, but their hard work doesn't entitle them to shit on other's.

    • @jean-erictateia3273
      @jean-erictateia3273 4 года назад

      He is right, in part even if I appreciate the digital special effects in the cinema (when they remain completely invisible), it is true that their impressive and considerable work brings another dimension which sticks more to reality during the action scenes .

  • @Yora21
    @Yora21 10 лет назад +11

    The 4-arm mecha suit could possibly be originally from Shiro Masamunes Appleseed manga from 1985. Not sure if anyone came up with that idea before.
    If you want to see practical power armor and mecha, his manga are the place to look.

    • @huxivoice

  • @WokeUpScreaming
    @WokeUpScreaming 11 лет назад

    I'm glad there are people like these guys trying to bring back practical effects in films! Nine times out of ten they look far superior to CGI. No matter how good CGI is, most of the time you can tell it's CGI, which breaks immersion soooooo bad. Aliens, for example, looks phenomenal, even today. Hopefully we'll see less sloppy CGI and more beautifully crafted practical effects in films in the near future. :)

    There is a place for C.G.I [Dinosaurs & other costly props] then there's hands on model work in miniatures, props, makeup effects [Dick Smith, Tom Savani].
    Well done guys!

    This reminds me of the story of Ludo from Labyrinth which was also a costume. They actually made it to fit two people of similar height because the costume was so heavy. No one person could wear it for a full day of shooting, and that was the second design (the first was even heavier).

      personally, were i to put my best science fiction hat on and make up some remotely practical predictions, it would be about body armour, personal drones with some kind of helmet interface. i mean, why involve yourself in a firefight when you can direct your drone to the guy behind the wall shooting at you, then drop a grenade.

    My original assumption was that you didn't work in practical effects, but for some reason I added CGI to that...
    Even if my assumption was wrong, you can't disagree with me that people who work in the special effects industry could feel threatened by the awesome power of computer generated images. A lot of filmmakers have opted for green cloth over real life set pieces. I'm not against CGI, but I can empathize with a craftsman who's afraid of losing business.
