They said they "how to"... this isn't how to do it, it's how to aspire or where to get inspiration. Now I have to watch the guy walking on stilts again frame by frame just to see how the mechanisms work xD All joking aside, I love it. I really am thankful for people sharing this kind of thing on youtube.
When I first saw this massive work of art I just couldn't stop thinking: "WHO WOULD MAKE SUCH A THING?! Who would spend so much time and effort, find so many talented people, just to promote their product?! The Titanfall game? The Pacific Rim movie?" I had no idea it was simply made by - and because of - a group of passionate people wanting to amaze everyone. You guys are awesome! Thank you so much for doing this.
The thing I love about all these videos is all the people smiling! Seeing something like that, you see all these 20-40 year olds or older just looking in amazement totally enjoying themselves. Really well done. They really fired up and fueled a lot of people's (like myself) imaginations and dreams from when they were kids with this.
Real life is definitely different, but what was the cost versus CGI? Man hours plus materials. It's probably close, but it would be interesting to see.
So I was told before, in high school and later when looking to find a college, that trying for a career in special effects and prop making was a waste. That there is no way to get a job in that field or make a living at it, and that its a dead art. How do I get into this as a career?
I think most of these people would say "just start doing it!" Ask the Volpin props guy: he just started making stuff in his garage. Of course, a lot of them have some background in construction (carpentry, welding, electrical) or art, so getting experience in those fields can be beneficial. And there are a few places like this Stan Winston School and film props groups online (like RPF) that give lots of detailed instruction. Actually getting hired? I'll bet that if you ask 20 special effects people, you'll hear 20 different paths to getting to where they are. Adam Savage started doing sets and props for local theaters, for example. You've just got to find some way of expressing your passion.
Chasmodius I have experience in things like electronics and art. I build stuff all the time! In fact, in the time since making my original comment I've decided to expand my (other) youtube channel from just video game commentary, to building nerdy video game related props and replicas. I've started filming my first episode and in a couple weeks I'll be able to test the water there. I've got like 800 subs so I should get some feedback. I have no idea if it's the right path for a career in this kind of thing, but it'll be an excuse to make something awesome and maybe get some exposure at it :)
Neos Scrollwing I think you're doing it perfectly: you're building your own path to the career you want. Maybe you'll end up somewhere completely different, in a direction you never thought you'd go, but I bet that as long as you keep striving for and doing the things that excite you, you'll have fun along the way.
I would take inspiration from this to cosplay one day, but lets just say the design process might take awhile. Or should I come up with design specs and have someone bring it to life... hmm. I think a bigger bulkier person could sustain a even bigger robot suit. But how to balance it so not top heavy or weak on the bottom. Yes this is a comment monologue, if you read this then I'm sorry.
This is why I get disheartened doing 3D. I can make pretty things on the computer, but unless I 3D print them in tiny segments or on a very large 3D printer ($$$$$$) or CNC machine the parts and assemble them ($$$$). It's pretty much stuck on a screen or as a paperweight on my desk. So I purchased a MIG welder and decided to learn something practical to build mechs from scratch/scrap. Now if only I lived close to a metal scrapyard where I could buy some prefabbed parts that roughly meet my design specs. I wouldn't build fighting Mechs, more like disaster relief and response mechs.
We need more of this and much much less CG in today's movies. Actually, this is basically the same concept as what they did with the Alien queen in Aliens. Two guys in a big suit with excellent camera work and editing.
they do make a point about real vs CG. but i think CG has taken over the effects world so completely because of the absolute and full control you have over it. need a complex robot to blow up? ok. if its a real machine, then you either spend months building a replica thats close enough to look right in the shot, then destroy it with real explosives, one chance to get it looking good. if its CG. ok, just import the model into a fresh file, turn on physics and fracture effects, then hit render. first shot didn't look good? no problem, tweak some settings and hit render again! they can bash CG all they want, but its here to stay, has been for the past 15+ years. lol
Guys the " military" is not stupid enouge to buy into this, it would be way to expencive and this is foam not steel plates. It would be wayyy to heavy!!
he shouldnt, he wouldve had practice, and the flipper feet would support him. i wonder if there was mechanical safties aswell tho. in any case, if he actually fell, thats one fucked robot
Start saving... tens of thousands of dollars in raw material alone, several hundred thousand for fabrication machines and tools and at least thousands of (fully paid) man hours for making one.

Now how can anyone dislike any of the videos in this series? The videos are just flat out awesome.

Awesome! Nice job guys,seeing the process of building this was really interesting. It's great to see it bring a smile people's faces :D

Th8s video series was the best in all of Geek Week!
If they made the operator claws (the smaller arm) movable would be so much more cooler than it already is. Thumbs up!
this is so cool, I love prosthetics, but this, so simple, yet obviously effective, this is awes inspiring.
I see excitement, disbelief and terror. Amazing the crowds reaction.
Excellent Job!, thanks for all that inspiring hard work full of awesomeness!
Fantastic!
That's just amazing. You guys rock!
Very nice job
That's right. Let's start creating!
You Are right. It is. The Skeletonics Crew had a whole Body system. Arms to Feet. I would love to try the legs they came up with. Bruce D Mitchell
thank you for the upload! That was amaaazingggg!!!! XD
THAT'S what I miss in movies. CG needs to complete the little details. The main attraction should be props.
this is part 7 in all the other parts they tell you how everything worked and what they did to make it become so real
this is so cool!

One single question. What happens if the robot suit falls? Do you need a krane for getting it up again?

If you pause at 0:28 you will see Ijustine with her google glass in the background

So awesome, felt like robo cop was gona pop out of nowhere lol
PLEASE! please please make a chaos marine outfit from warhammer 40k. ive never seen it done.

This was like those robots from real steel... So cool
Not to mention the mechanical side of the design were based on a bunch of guys who'd created similar systems in Japan :P

ai muito top esse robozinho👍

I am building myself a couple of this when for when the governments and criminals go out of hand, as we are soon to see.
+Tony Leon good luck
0:43
When he said that , i high'fived to the monitor
this vid is called how to build a giant robot mech in the hole vid it dose not show how to do one
2:38 is that John Noble?
No, it's
JOHN CENA
DUN DUN DUN DAAA DUN DUN DADAAD DUN DUN DJN DUN DAAAAD UN DUN DAAA DE DO DOOO PAP POOOD
What's the white robot at 2:26? Can I get a link to a video please?
I love robots
Btw people who think its a non piloted robot, its actually a mech which means it IS piloted
this is cool.
And where do I get the money from to create art, Mr. Whiseguy???
please can you tell me how to make an working robot.
we can give command to it. it should be like friend with us
This was 6 years ago 🤯
Instructions weren't clear enough; ended up on a plane to Alaska.
Needs a cooling system for the pilot, maybe water coolant system,
Yes! Sorry girls but this is the Best COSPLAY ever!
Im impressed with their art form...of...makinb BS videos with mis-leading titles so they can talk and show nothing...real impressed guys!
Did you even watch the other steps.
After 9 years just guess how small they can make Giant Robot Mechs now!
sorry i must but i think the japanese skeleton is more advance then your skeleton but i must say i love everything else ;3

they can bash CG all they want, but its here to stay, has been for the past 15+ years. lol
Whoa! Bigger Br-... Brother...? Make him Red, bigger contrast. Six arms, stronger performer
Awsome
L mko but
Guys the " military" is not stupid enouge to buy into this, it would be way to expencive and this is foam not steel plates. It would be wayyy to heavy!!
I am getting one of these for halloween
Anyone else thinking the military is going to want them to give them the designs and the military making a small robot army.... or a big robot army.
I wanna do that! O.o
have them all go in to a ball so you can take out and fight whenever you want
this realy inspiered me
then do it figure it out as you go
create what your heart design ….what are you waiting for?

I want to replicate it with papercraft or pepaura
Waiting for the video to end... then I'll start today.
wow
it was the title of the "show"
please sir tell me procedure
I wod like to make somthing thing like that but I don't have the material the money or any of the sort of company to do that
How about you try making your own then?
i want one
Wouldn't CGI cost a whole lot more?
It would be cool if it could fire missiles .
isnt it just a suit ??
What happens if he falls down? O.o
he shouldnt, he wouldve had practice, and the flipper feet would support him. i wonder if there was mechanical safties aswell tho. in any case, if he actually fell, thats one fucked robot

Hey cool suit. Check out my Giant Killer Robot. 9 1/2 ft tall and pushing 1000 lbs. I had him at Calgary comicon 2012. All scrap structural steel.
The only thing I am skeptical about is why the there's only one Asian in the team?
The robot Must dance
0:58 because a bad CGI can fuck up a good movie... :/
More mech less talk!!!
LOVE PEACE AND CHICKEN GREASE
I mean fired
