    I've always thought that final end scene in 2010 of the monolith in the primevil swamp was absolutely beautiful.

    Always amazed how good the miniature work looks in Ghostbusters compared to other movies of the era. They just nailed the lighting and camera lenses. Looks so real.

    In Ghostbusters they reused Blade Runner and Blade Runner reused this building from Escape to New York and that was shoot on a very low budget.
    Thats why movies didn't cost 200 million back than.

    Incredible work on both shows. Especially considering that they were launching Boss with two these high profile shows in the pipeline. Aside from some wonky opticals on a couple of the terror dog shots in Ghostbusters, all of the effects for both 2010 and Ghostbusters still look beautiful to this day.
    Thank you so much for posting! Such a privilege to listen to all of these artists recollections of their nuts and bolts experiences of working on such iconic films.

    The small segment about Raise the Titanic is not correct. The films raising sequence that was filmed in the deep tank in Malta was 100% water. Salt was not used to simulate water scale. However, salt was added to the water when the Titanic model was filmed in the adjacent surface tank for a fly-past view of the raised ship. The salt was added to give more density to the otherwise plain water that was being pumped up out of the surface tank.

    • @piercefilm
      @piercefilm  3 года назад +3

      I think that's what Pete Gerard meant. Salt was used for a more realistic effect. Even if only for one shot or two. It worked better and was a great idea!

    At 5:30 we’re told Stay Puft stomps a Car, then another veers off and hits a Hydrant, well, I remember the Car hitting a fire Hydrant, and a Police Car was supposed to get stepped on, but, the Camera cuts before that happens....Anyone else wish they could’ve seen the table top Central Park miniature set?, cause I would’ve loved to have seen it!

    All the work that went into the Stay puft scene. When you watch the movie, none of what he talks about, ie. moving cars, pink cadi getting stepped on, make it into the movie. The fire plug just pops for no reason in the finished film. Go look for yourself.

      Way too expensive, and dealing with studios takes forever. You can watch all the scenes elsewhere here on RUclips. This doc is about the model makers and their stories. I don't work for the studios. I don't want to promote the movies. The "making of´s" on the DVD´s usually show footage.

    models always look better than CGi why? because computer modeled lights will NEVER match REAL light. and that’s the critical ingredient light

    • @kentallard8852
      @kentallard8852 3 года назад

      And the models are shot on 35mm or 70mm which has a higher resolution than 2k or 4k. Plus a lot of CG is based on standardized previsuals.
