How Star Wars: Ahsoka's Jedi Shuttle Filming Model Was Made!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 май 2024
- During the production of Star Wars: Ahsoka, Adam Savage visited the miniatures filming stage set up at Lucasfilm to watch the practical model of Ahsoka's T-6 Jedi Shuttle being filmed. Modelmaker John Goodson and machinist Dan Patrascu spent four months building the 30-inch model of that T-6 ship for the show-an incredible hero ship model not only equipped with lights, but was fully mechanized with a rotating wing!

Old-school model-making at it's finest 👌
It's cool how the wings rotate , gives me millennium falcon vibes which can also rotate with the rotating mechanism behind the falcons cockpit , so cool but unfortunately we didn't get to see this feature working in any scene's, love star wars star fighters !!
It's so good to see new weathered spaceship models still being made for filming!
This ship feels like Star Wars. It is incredible to see the real model. Thank you for your work, skill, time, ingenuity and patience to bring this ship to life
Wouldn't it be great if they actually put some effort into their stories...
@@youtube_moderator Can people not be negative, like, ever? You don't have to trash Disney every chance you get.
@@ZiddersRooFurry Yes you do, Disney is WOKE C R A P ! Star Wars is DEAD! ASShoka is just that!
That's because it is star wars, ahsoka and anakin flew one in the clone wars
@@youtube_moderator Damn you beat me to that comment :)
It's so good seeing models still being created for film and TV. Kudos to these fantastic craftsmen.
I just this past week finished watching *Light And Magic*, and I love that some of the old-school model-makers still work there and still get to work their expertise now and then ❤
Beautiful piece of an engineering model. Real professionals!
Would love to see the actual build.
I love seeing how the sausage is made, and I personally think the real life models look so much better on the screen. So happy this type of special effect did not die out, but everyone realized it was a great addition to CGI. Hope to see more!
_"I love seeing how the sausage is made."_
Off topic, but OrdinarySausage made a Balut sausage, and it ended up being _so_ disturbing to viewers that he pulled the video... 😅
(someone else reuploaded it, but yea, I see why he pulled it lmao)
@@DUKE_of_RAMBLE "People who love sausages and the law should not watch either being made." - Mark Twain
Believe it or not a good movie/show is a blend of the 2 of 3 (built, printed, CGI) but people rather complain like the guy on the porch/woman in the window...
@@ekij133 Quite true! haha
The fact that models are still being used warms my heart
Agreed - I love practical FX
The model shots are so important to the feel of original Star Wars, glad their keeping the tradition alive
Mr. Savage I don't know if anyone has told you this, but when you do interviews like this, you come up with the best questions. More than once, I've had the thought of "I wished I would have asked that." And no, I don't interview ppl lol.
This ship is one of the best designs in Star Wars. When I saw it in the last episode of Rebels, my brain said, "I've got to have a model of that ship!!" I really hope a kit manufacturer brings one out soon!
There is not enough Star Wars kits! Do you know if Bandai has exclusive rights?
@@TheEvanevant93 Actually I've heard that Bandai has lost the rights to Star Wars kits, but I'm not sure who has them now.
Well there’s always the Lego one
There could be some 3d printed model kit out there already actually, gonna look for them in a bit
I'm glad they mentioned the handling issue of FX models. For anyone brave enough to go back and watch Philadelphia Experiment II - the F 117 at the open was literally tossed off its mount by a runaway moco unit and smashed all over the studio floor at Boyington Studios. All eyes turned to me as I swept up the pieces (I sh*t you not) and took them back to the model studio to cyano the entire thing back together and paint it gray (over an original paintjob of patchwork blacks and grays). To this day, the giant crack in the mostly bondo nose is visible on screen.
I wish I had a video like this to watch for every single starwars ship design. So great to see as a concept artist.
Hey that's my dad!!
Your house must have so many beautiful things in!
I'm sure other model shops do this, as well, but one thing I have always loved about ILM models is the intricacy of the internal workings. The first time I saw motorized models from ILM was for The Empire Strikes Back, and they motorized the heads of the Snowspeeder pilots and the ship surface controls. And then there was the Shuttle Tydirium model with its intricate wing-folding/landing gear mechanism. It's great to see ILM still has a model department and they are still building intricate mechanisms for their models.
I am beyond jealous, The T-6 Shuttle is my favorite ship model ever!!! So cool!
Id watch a 40 hour series of just the building and problem solving of this model
It’s great to see that the old skills are still being used. The comment about 3d printing was interesting.
I love Adam’s enthusiasm. That's why we love him.
One of the most beautiful Star Wars ships ever. So awesome to learn that they used a model for some shots.
Absolutely love the fact that they made the models of ships for the shows.
It has that, I don’t know, extra flair to it compared to a cgi ship.
And as a plus we get these in depth talks about them. Superb.
The fact that they still build filming models is cool. The fact that they're still using tools that were used for the original movies is amazing.
one of the best parts about the ahsoka show, was this ship.
I use to schedule model shoots with the mounting in mind. For example we’d start with the left side mount shots, then top mounts, bottom mount. The less you have to touch the model the better.
Hey Adam,
at fanexpo in Philly you signed a 1914 collectors edition of a machinery handbook for my sister. I received that from her the other day and all I can say is thank you! It is one of the greatest gifts I received, especially since your the reason I became an engineer.
So, again, thank you for bringing a huge smile to her face and for signing the machinery handbook. Love your videos!
Can't believe it took over a decade to see a live action rendition of this amazing ship design.
This is what makes the world come to life. As much as the acting, the music and the SFX/VFX. Phenomenal craftsmanship. Such Handwerkskunst!
Wow thank you for showing this film! To see the love they have for their craft and a willingness to share. So amazing to see the working model. Adam you are true curator of these historical moments! I loved watching the really old behind the scenes of the Star Wars trilogy.
I would adore a model kit of this.
This was so fun. I love this ship.
The T6 shuttle has always been a fave, can't believe how cool it looks as a model!
Absolutely stunning modelling. This is next level, thank you for shining a spotlight on this, as many no doubt, would think it was all CGI.
These guys are so fascinating.
This looks and feels like an Old Republic ship. It would fit right in the Knights of the Old Republic game.
Adam. Thank you again for showing these kind of stuff WITH the people that actually build them.
These kind of video's are just a true gem to see. These kind of videos give me so much energy to keep learning this stuff..
What fun. Really enjoyed this one. The aesthetic of that ship is fantastic. These guys are masters.
I guess we're all classed as 'Old Guard' these days. When the 'kids' can't conceive of your non-3d printed techniques, it makes you feel old.
I love this ship. Really cool that they are making practical models for these shows!
Masters of their craft…this is so impressive. Off to watch it again!❤❤❤
Ultra fine details notwithstanding, I'm surprised they managed to cram in all those complications and not end up with a Huge model! That could have easily ended up as a 6 footer. What a masterclass in old school scratch-building, even with modern techniques and micro machinations inside.
I couldn't be more excited for this video! Love learning about these techniques. Thanks, Tested Team!
I love it!!! I was waiting for the "behind the scenes" of the series to see how the make this spaceship!!!!!!!! Thank you very much!!!
This model makes me think of the Landspeeder, many similar visuals IMO!
Loving this video. We've seen a lot of reference of this ship already, but the in-depth interview with the model makers, and Adam's knowledge and unbridled joy regarding the build process really brings forth some interesting insight, and is just so informative. Thanks so much for sharing.
It's great to see that scratch builders are still 'lateral thinking' - the Christmas ball for the basis of a gun turret is the sort of thing I would do!
Yeah that engine and mechanical area looks excellent. Would love a kit of this ship!
I am in awe and humbled of the talents required to accomplish this masterpiece.
Its nice to see they still use physical models and not entirely digital effects.
I'm sure there will be a HasLab collector edition of this ship somewhere down the line. Right now, though, I am impressed with the fidelity that Jazwares is turning out in their Star Wars Micro Galaxy Squadron line of toys. Reminds me of the original Galoob Action Fleet toys from the mid-90s.They're using screw plugs and snap in panels to cover up screws and reveal mechanical details and interiors. They don't light up, and they clearly toys, but they're also doing washes and painting scorch marks on them too. Engineering for both film and large scale production has advanced so much.
This is wonderful! I love Johns model making. So great that Tested does these videos for us 😊
Finally a design that harkens back to the original trilogy! I actually LIKE this one!
Say what you will about these Star Wars shows but the effects are top notch, love the model work.
If I had a steadier hand, making models like this would be a DREAM job for me. i am willing to use old-school techniques, and in fact EMBRACE them. I never would have guessed that I was looking at a real-working model while watching certain scenes in Ahsoka. Wow.
They sell hand stabilizers. Essentially a heavy ball joint with a hand rest.
Dan (the guy with the beard) has been living and breathing this sort of thing for his entire adult life. He's living the dream because it's his dream too, and I'm so happy for him.
Wow, this was amazing!!! Thank you for this video! Awesome this can be seen... The ahsoka ship was awesome and I appreciate the fact, they still hire old school model makers. Love it!
I remember seeing a picture of this from Celebration, and it seemed NOBODY was talking about it. As soon as I saw it, and Sabine's mural, I knew we'd be getting the Rebels Epilogue in live-action.
So jealous I wanted one of my own and somehow still jealous cause this model is SO AMAZING.
Beautiful model
Good to see Jamie back on the channel!
Thank's Master Adam ! It's ExtraoWonderAwasome Technical report. So soon. May the force be with the model creators and you🖖
I'm putting the LEGO version of this together now. Not an easy build.
Thanks so much for this upload! I always loved her ship and seeing all the detail in it so close up, just a wonderful treat. ❤️ It's great to see the model makers still working their magic at ILM. Well, as Mitch said to Adam, they're "Wizards." And yes they are. 😊
Incredible. Nice to know how it was made and what it took to create and build it.
Some of the tricks remind me of a German fan who built a replica of the hero spaceship from the Captain Future anime adaption and used the ball bearings for the rotating section to transfer the few milliwatts of voltage to the couple of LEDs in lieu of a slip ring solution.
I love seeing things like this still being made for movies, and fun fact there is a company called Turbo Dork that makes great color shifting paints for miniatures including ones made to look like heated metal and exhaust pipes
"So it is all 3d printed? No, it is fabricated... And they looked at me like I was talking of nuclear physics" And this is why you need FX historians. No shade to the "young guys". 3d printing IS the future but fabrication still can amaze and impact :)
I’m young, and I still prefer fabrication over 3D printing. Nothing beats kit bashing with found parts!
EDIT: don’t get me wrong, I love 3D printing and designing my own stuff in CAD too. But there’s still something about putting random pieces together and creating something out of scraps that fulfills a certain part of making for me!
So basically all three can exist at the same time...wow!
3d printing is boring af.
@@martinjrgensen8234the printing part sure, 3D modeling though… can be fun
Yep. 3D print is great if you need 2 or more. Fabricating is great if you need just 1 that solves an interesting problem.
we definitely need to let Adam Savage create a screen-used star wars prop
Absolutely beautiful !
Awesome model! Hate to tell them though, Paw Patrol already has a toy that looks similar and has the spinning wing function.
Spinning models long before then
This was one of the best videos ever!!
Awesome. Can't wait to see it more in Season 2.
Definitely the second coolest Star Wars ship 😎👏🏾👍🏾
I have the LEGO version of this ship. I absolutely love this ships design!
This is an incredibly beautiful model. Absolutely fantastic that it is constructed ❤
I had no idea that was a model, watching the show. Much like umpires, the best models are the ones you don't realize are there.
So cool! Thanks for the videos as always
I want a bandai model of this so badly, and all the clone wars era ships
Wonderful!! It's such a beautifully designed ship.
What a beautiful model and wonderful conversation. Thanks so much for sharing! I would love to see the internal structure/mechanics for that ship.
Some fun stuff in the background at 4:58.
That is a piece of ART, Great job.
I sure like that Nautilus he has hanging in his garage at 4m58s.
A neat trick for the original trilogy models was that they didn't put material around the cockpit to form the window. I believe they did, but reflections of light and blue screen would cast onto the "window", yet this practical model does have windows!
Thank you for the awesome share!
Great segment. I’m a studio scale model maker. This is awesome!
AMAZING!
Y'know, this show looked so good I didn't even question the ship's model. Rosario was just standing on a spaceship and I was fine with it.
Excellent
"So the wings rotate from vertical to horizontal wing configuration for stability and aerodynamic if it enters gravity wells in space or enters an atmosphere."
"Yeah, but since there is no atmosphere in space, why not just leave it horizontal?"
" Because I wrote it here in the script and I would appreciate you getting up off my back about it."
" OK, let me get back up off that thing."
This was so interesting. As they are explaining how they built it, I was thinking about how I would do it. And then, should I build my own ship just for my sole pleasure.
ahsokas ship has fast become one of my favorite ships in all of starwars :)
I need to know more about the Disney Nautilus hanging in their shop!!
Lowkey need that T-6 shuttle
Oh man, to be an apprentice to these guys... I'd work in that model shop (for the right price, I do have adult responsibilities) in a heart beat!
Also, it's wild to me that the motion control rig shoots on a 5D mark IV. Lucasfilm uses the same camera that I have. That was impossible 20 years ago, cameras of that quality were just not accessible for the average person. We live in incredible times.
Just like Adam Savage to have a flashlight in his pocket. Ready to go!
I feel like they could have used the pole sticking out of the back to turn the wings , and it would have been easier than building it all into the fuselage?
Im writing down "Michaels alcohol pearlescent paint" for the future. Im assuming its the Tim Holtz ones
Way to go bro!!❤
I have to say this was a brilliant watch - there's not enough of these kind of interviews even on 'making of' series which transfixed me in the same way - the creativity is just astonishing.
Really cool. 👍
I see a lot of influence from nature in that ship. It looks like a moth in the filmed footage.
