  • Frank Ippolito joins us at Adam's shop for another step-by-step tutorial in prop making. This time, we learn how to make a two-part silicone mold that we can use to cast resin copies of complex objects. We demonstrate the technique by duplicating a lightsaber prop made by Adam!

    I don't know why everybody thinks the Asian guy is stupid... He's clearly asking questions that he knows the answer to whenever he thinks there needs to be clarification so what they're doing can be more easily understood. It's for the viewers. It's a storytelling device.

    • @GabbyDorsey
      @GabbyDorsey 8 лет назад +70

      Oh my god, thank you! I thought it was so obvious too! Obviously Norm and the guy in the video do this professionally and if he wouldn't have asked questions the guy would have just build the lightsaber and the audience would have been clueless. Norm is a great host, I LOVE him. I especially love him with people other than Adam because he really clarifies things well. And he definitely doesn't come off as awkward.

      IMHO they did a great job, and I learned something new today. Maybe some day I'll need to mold something (tool handle, etc) and I'll at least have some knowledge of how to make it happen.

    My only major critique is with Norm; you tend to talk over your guests - if you are talking to an expert, let them explain their craft. You come across as a "know-it-all" and it's annoying. Even if you have to fake not having as a much knowledge in something, it allows your guest to feel special. There were moments when Frank had the face and verbal tone of "I've had enough of your s***!"

    • @CaptainMcSmoky
      @CaptainMcSmoky 10 лет назад +66

      All good questions though, its very hard to explain why you're doing something specific if it's part of your normal job, people have to ask questions to figure out what you're doing.

    • @ChrisLerouxDesign
      @ChrisLerouxDesign 10 лет назад +84

      I don't have a problem with that. If you'll notice, Norm will often try to complete someone's sentences, then try to add on to it and do the expert's job. He asks great questions, that's not his problem.

    • @kbrad
      @kbrad 10 лет назад +44

      The real problem is he obviously asks a lot of questions before filming, he knows the answers and brings them up instead of naturally letting the conversation/lesson get there.

    • @CaptainMcSmoky
      @CaptainMcSmoky 10 лет назад +15

      Achromat I think that's mostly down to Frank being used to working at a much faster (and uninterrupted) pace, which is totally fair when working with materials that have a very small window of usability.
      robotscant I think the "semi planned improv" style works quite well though, some of the older Tested videos came across really disorganised and messy because they were totally improvised and none of the hosts had any experience talking to camera, and the scripted stuff Adam does on Mythbusters is really cringeworthy sometimes, I just think we need to give more time to perfect his craft...

  • @M_Emeritz

    • @M_Emeritz
      @M_Emeritz 9 лет назад +41

      Crystal clear isn't designed with molding/casting in mind. It's an acrylic sealer which is a red flag itself. It's not intended to come off. Notice how he says, "just wipe it off with alcohol". Alcohol is abrasive and will take off not only the Crystal Clear, but most paints as well. A genuine mold releases can be wiped off with a damp cloth, or a little dish soap at most. CC is fine to if you have nothing else and no time, but it's the last thing I would have chosen to use on such a one-of-a-kind replica. I would be surprised if Adam's prop didn't need a new paintjob. **Source: I also fabricate props and do molding/casting as part of my day job.

    • @DarrenCarnallCustoms
      @DarrenCarnallCustoms 9 лет назад +18

      That is not the camera man... It's the guy to the right working with the cast/mold. It's also kind of obvious that it is... You see that mic just under his chin? It's very sensitive and you can even hear the clay he's working with while breathing that way. And on another note, the camera man does not have a mic attached to him, only true two guys you see do.
      I guess I can see how you would think that it would be the camera guy; most people use their camera's built in mic, but I assure you this isn't the case here.

    That was fascinating. One thing I especially appreciate with the questions that simplified things especially for people like me to help understand the process and what's need to achieve the end result. I've never used resin before, cause I never thought it would be available or easy to use since I've tried making arts and crafts the harder way. After watching this video, the ideas and possibilities are pouring in so fast to the point where I'm getting a head ache. Now, it feels like that all things, art and crafts feels possible and endless.

      James Catania I'm right there with you James. The fact that he poured the silicone directly onto to prop when making mould had me scratching my head. Everything, and I do mean _everything_, that I've seen, read and learned says to pour the silicone into a corner and let it naturally flow over the object instead of pouring it directly onto it. I'm not questioning Frank's knowledge, just his way of doing things.

    After pouring the resin in the mold, you can put it on a vibrating table to force all the air bubbles to the opening. I use this method in my pours and get them to come out perfect.

    This is a cool lesson. I remember doing stuff like that in shop class back in the 80's. We used sand molds and poured molten metal. We also learned about how jewelers would make a clay positive, put it into a sand mold, then the molten metal evacuates the wax so you didn't need to remove the positive. I believe that's considered a one-piece mold?

      Your parents need to teach you respect. Just because some people including myself like to measure in ft and in. and weigh in lbs and oz. or grams doesn't make us crazy. Everyone is different and like to do things their own way. (whatever way they find easiest usually) Technically us Americans usually weigh everything in lbs. and oz. & measure in Ft. and In. If its from a medical stand point then we usually use kg. for weight and cm. for length. How someone measures and weighs something doesn't make them crazy. Educate yourself better so you can convert it in a measurement you can understand or you can actually search in online and it'll do it for you.
