That spaceship deck breaking was an all time miniature FX masterwork!
I loved the miniature effects on this movie.
Yea they were awesome 👍🏻
Had no idea these were real life models. The guy wishing to work on Star Wars should take comfort in the knowledge that Starship Troopers' legacy is growing every year, while people don't really want to remember that there was any Star Wars after 1983.
It breaks my heart that throwing away such models wasn't at all unusual.
Cost more to store them, likely never to be used again.
@@Anarchist86ed So, you mean next to nothing? Storage is less an issue than the idea that they apparently couldn't predict that there's would be a collector's market for this stuff.
@@screenPhiles Storage = Space, Space = Money I dont know where you are getting free storage space from in Hollywood. These items are massive wooden and cardboard items used for short times on film. They either got tossed or torn down and re-purposed into new projects
@@andrewkaminskas7721 Funny, I don't recall saying anything about "free" storage space - that's probably because I didn't.
What I did say was that they could do it if they chose to. And please stop acting like studios don't have the money to do it - which they obviously do.
They CHOOSE not to, which is another matter entirely.
@@eddysgaming9868 I wholeheartedly agree, which would be likely happen if studios just stored them, instead of destroying them (which let's be clear, they can do, but choose not to).
I want to be excited about anything in life as much as he was to go work on a Star Wars project. It really showed how much they all loved doing that by the quality of the work in those movies (plot and scripts and politics aside the miniatures and models and everything was amazing work)
Thanks for posting😀😀😀
Wonderfull work was done on starship troopers. Love it
Iam curious what type of Paint do you use in your Hobby projects
3:08. is that a Hoth Storm Trooper??? What IS that? Not R2D2....
I agree with your assessment.
I like Real model masterwork is better than CGI
5:43 Loving the Buck Rogers Draconian Marauder behind him.
That's Dave Jones. He designed it.
I wish I could go back in time and rescue all these props. They truly belong in a museum.
Think that's Tory Belleci @2:46 - great models in Starship Troopers.
I didn't know they built models. I thought the film was all GGI.
Yes quite a few people thought that! I think the CGI bugs just made people assume that the entire production was CGI.
They did both. It was CG enhanced practical effects. The effects still stand up.
@@springbloom5940 They sure do. The Arachnids look brilliant, even by today's standards. Something about them is handled just right so their movement and composition into the scenes doesn't look too overdone. Hard to put my finger on.
@@haitolawrence5986 some where real as they needed them to pick up the people so the ones that picked up people were real others were cgi
@@australianlegofan yeah they had a fully controllable warrior bug animatronic
okay this movie has the BEST ship destruction model any an scifi movie ever! hands down. I was a awe watching this in theaters those many years ago.
"Would you like to know more?"
Rick Hilgner. What a guy. He and I worked together extensively in the early parts of my career and I owe him a lot. What a pleasure seeing him here.
I worked at Boss - the one 3 second shot of the tower getting blown off by an asteroid - $350k.
Thought it was all CGI.
I knew they used a lot of practical effects, but I always thought even for the times the ship sequences looked way too good to be CGI. What confuses me is I've seen behind scenes production footage with CGI of the ships during their climatic battle sequence. Whatever they did they blended it so well I can't tell what is CGI and what is practical in those moments.
SF映画好きの私が「スターシップ･トルーパー」で一番ビックリした･感動したのは、この「宇宙船が隔壁毎に爆発していく」というリアルな描写でした。
スターウォーズでさえ宇宙船の爆発は全体が巨大な光と成って爆発する、というモノ。
この映画で生まれて初めて「隔壁ごとに連鎖爆発していく」というカッコ良い描写を観たのでした！
Those were and are beautiful models. They hold up to this day.
Bless these talented men and women
Same R2 trick as close encounters R2 certainly gets some fame.
Bruce Macrae hid R2´s in a lot of films!
I'd pay millions to have this Rodger Young model!
Blimey - i thought a lot of these shots were early CGI - great miniature work!
Very impressive. Managed to score an original Mobile Infantry armor set and later met Casper Van Dien and Jake Busey at an event together. Epic experience. This movie is so much fun.
One of my favourite all time films
That's funny with the little R2D2s on the ship 😁I wonder if there were any Universal Greeblies on them as well?
Great to see Rick, Bruce, Dave, Peter and Greg. Boss Film. Nothing like it. Thanks for this video.
R2 Units on starship troopers Dang i didnt know that ... kinda of reminds me when They hid R2D2 on Indiana Jones movies.
So they're so detailed that even if you put an everyday object next to them on camera your brain thinks the everyday object is huge?
Hard to believe with all the hype and the fact that I'm a movie lover that I have never seen this movie!
3:10 star wars action fleet minifigure!
Did you guys use any clear Coat on this Models
How is the Lettering done on a Miniture
One of the last great practical effects movies.
What Us Mortar Tint
Amazing thanks for sharing
So dissapointed there isn't more shots of the space station, that thing was apparently 8 foot tall and as detailed as any star trek starbase. there's so few angles of it.
I can only work with the photos the model makers supply...
Absolutely beautiful.
I read in a book about the making of the Star Wars special effects, that one frustrated SFX engineer put his sneaker in the background during a scene in "Return of the Jedi." Maybe the guy doing that in the making of "Starship Troopers" did that as a nod to that movie.
The story is actually that during the Star Wars trench run on the Death Star, that one of the speeding Xwing shots, is a red and white shoe thrown past the camera.
@@springbloom5940 No, I definitely read it was during the making of ROTJ.
Or perhaps they did it on more than one occasion.
Did you know they put a Playboy centerfold inside the Rebel Blockaderunner model?
It was a miniature version and noone could possibly see it from the outside.
Do this star ships have interior detail as well
Someone in this video really likes Hell Raiser III. Or worked on it.
De las naves mas feas del cine de CF
I strongly recommend reading the original book by Robert Heinlein. It is a far better story than the movie that unfortunately shared the same name. (But the FX and miniatures in the movie are still awesome.)
