Thanks for watching!
Adam Savage has had the pleasure of going behind the scenes of several films and TV shows. Check out our playlist of videos from those set visits! bit.ly/2YpN8qu
Can someone cast Adam in a space movie already? This dude has been in more space suits than anyone.
LaTigerGenesis; dude has experience, you're right!
Well he managed to get a small role in The Expanse season 2 finale so that's a start.
They cancelled his cameo :(
What are you talking about? He was in at least one episode. He was a dude on the science ship that goes to Venus towards the end of season 2.
He is in a 2 scenes right at the end of the last episode. Its a bit jarring actually as he suddenly appears on the bridge of the science ship orbiting Venus seated at a station, has 1 line then his next scene is when the ship is dismantled (which was awesome) and you see the captain, the science guy and Adams character just hanging in the Venus atmosphere with the ship exploded around them. (again really awesome).
i want that suit. i would use it for shopping groceries
no.
lol oook
Peer It's okay, I'm with you on this one internet stranger.
Peer I would wear it all the time (British weather)
I'd pay to see this!
Too bad it was so short. I could watch that stuff for hours.
trekguy66 why are these so short? I can guarantee that Adam talked for more than 9 minutes while he was there
trekguy66 Same : - ^ ( (
They probably have to limit the information they allow out before the film is actually out too I'm sure
trekguy66 No kidding! Especially with Adam narrating
These clips make me feel compelled to watch the movie in theaters, something I rarely do any more.
*Hey Hollywood Executives* Do you want to reconnect with more 30-something males in the US? Pay Adam to do these full time. Seriously, this is far more interesting and engaging than the trailers I ignore. I was impressed by Adam's last reveal of the Alien set and the environment, his perspective on construction techniques, and the effort involved to help emerse the actors in the environment was memorable. I have no affiliation with Adam, and I watched the last alien set segment the day it came out. I still clearly remember it. This is effective 21st century marketing. -Add depth and intelligence to the back story.
He's so adorable at times
Like a kid
The world's greatest minds tend to be manchildren. Just look at Elon Musk and his boring machine.
"world's greatest minds", yeah, not sure that moniker applies here.
WhenItCounts Why not? He may not a physicist or mathematician, but to have the spacial awareness and skillsets to design and build like he does is not common. People struggle with Ikea furniture, yet Adam is able to bring a freeform thought to reality in his own.
That's how we should all be.
im a big movie fan and to see all these props and items fly by in tested episodes this really makes me appreciate all the tremendous work that has gone into them thanks Adam for sharing your passion with the viewers.
I love seeing exclusive behind the scenes and awesome props from my favorite movies.
Showing us how much goes into props really gave me a new appreciation for movies. Can't wait for Alien Covenant and Blade Runner!
Richard Silves I disagree
Same. Really makes you appreciate the movies more
what.... Alien Covenant is one of your favorite movies....ermm ok... wow.
im really impressed with how nice every working with aliens seems,thank you for sharing this with us adam.
This is exactly the content I subscribed for, great video
Y'all should do a cosplay build for some fallout power armor
Who's going to fund that garbage?
skeletonboi ... People who play fallout lol. We could make it happen
Omg the details on the suit is amazing! thanks for sharing Adam! going to see the movie again because of this!
Am I the only person who loves bulky space suits instead of the sleek, skin tight, sci fi type suits?
Yung Ramen nope
I love both styles, because there's a time and place for both, depending on what you're trying to accomplish with tone or theme.
bleugh
I love that they have both in this. The air supply suit for internal work, with increased maneuverability, and the bulky external suit that provides protection against space hazarfs.
Yung Ramen yes
If weight and room are not a big problem in space travel anymore, a complete hard suit is a really good concept for a space suit that is meant to be used in micro/zero gravity. They are easier to move than a pressurised soft suit and also much more robust and durable.
even if weight itself is not a problem, more mass equals more inertia, that might be a problem
The key thing is that the hard suit has a constant volume, so the astronaut doesn't have to fight against the internal pressure. That pressure can therefore be higher; as high as the pressure in the spacecraft in fact. Current ISS suits are at a lower pressure than the station, to increase their flexibility. This means many hours of pre-breathing before any EVA, to acclimate to the lower pressure.
Like you say, 50kg is still 50kg and the laws of forces and counter forces are still in place.
A mechanical counter pressure suit would be much better than both allowing full flexibility and having size of a wet-suit plus breathing gear.
Jack Evans except for the fact that a mechanical counter pressure suit needs to be extremely accurately sized for each person or you'll have lots of fitment issues. whereas a hard suit could be a "one size fits all" which makes it a lot cheaper to produce.
"They're noisy though."
"Is that a problem with sound?"
"Ah, well, it probably will be but you know, we haven't told them."
Probably the funniest thing I've heard this month.😂
Never gets old
Nothing like watching a behind the scenes upload to hype you up for the film your going to see tomorrow and have a massive spoiler handed to you via a thumbnail in the recommended videos.
Amazing video, keep up the builds
Darren Courtney this wasn't his build
Does the elevation drawing at 3:01 remind anyone else of the helmets from mass effect? I think it's the back that really does it
I love these videos, because they always give me an even bigger appreciation for all of the work that goes into creating these things.
Adam getting to wear a spacesuit movie prop for a new sci fi movie. That is one happy man!
This movie looks like it has better budget than NASA
Watzitoya Can't be far off unfortunately.
Borat Sagdiyev Yup pretty close to truth, meanwhile the military blows through like millions of dollars.
Watzitoya billions*
Haha even worse!
The 2015 budget was 597 billion USD.I believe Trump wants the budget to be even higher.
I see Adam borrowing the space suits in the foreseeable future to build one himself, then casually walking around at a convention.
That hard suit is the most beautiful spacesuit--real or fictional--I have ever seen.
Janty Yates is brilliant ! Great interview - only wished it went longer.
I'm actually suprised they have an actual costume, in a world with CGI taking over everything, like iron man who is now suitless until the editors add it in after
Its just so much easier in post production to have a suit and it actually looks like it their rather than the cgi which can sometimes look cartoonish
Ridley loves practical for his actors
1:00 "When NASA does this, it costs millions of dollars..." Yeah, well when NASA does it, it actually has to survive the harsh tolerances of the vacuums of space, temperature fluctuation, chemical resistance and insulated against conductivity among other requirements. Obviously, for a film shoot, this is outstanding effort and quality.
beautiful work, I enjoy your work and admire the artists that create such beautiful pieces for the movies, amazing job they have !!! thank you.
I like how keeping the actors alive was the third most important thing when building the suits.
Adam couldn't wear the legs because of his,... excitement. ;) Great video guys, more interviews please, even if you need to wait for a post release NDA. It will still be interesting.
It is fascinating to me how a man like Adam, who is so experienced in his field and has such a reputation, is so humble and open for input when talking to people of other crafts and departments. I think I should take this as an inspiration/guideline for myself ^^
These awesome spacesuits make me excited to watch Alien Covenant now
When youre watching a video ABOUT the movie when an ad FOR THE MOVIE comes on before the video.
I think he wasn't kidding when he said he wanted to work for them lol
Instalike
reminds me of what CanDive was testing in Vancouver BC about 20 years ago
great job!! always to the top Adam!!
Some day NASA Start asking for help from the movie team to build a new space suit =DDD
They already did.
Ouh =D
Not really. Hollywood is very good at making up visually stunning things, but they tend to be totally impractical for anything else. Ask any actor who's ever worn any hollywood space suit... they're death traps, and take a team of people to put you in it.
"NASA does this, it costs millions of dollars."
NASA deals in real space suits worn by real astronauts. They're two incomparable products for two incomparable functions.
And you are an incomparable fuckwit.
Waaaahh
Live action Warhammer 40k with this suit technology when?
I just wanted to say that I've found this series absolutely fascinating and I don't think it's *just* that I'm a huge Ridley/Alien fan, but more that I'm a huge fan of the craft of filmmaking. I really hope to see more BTS and film content on Tested; this has been a fantastic series of videos. Thanks Adam and all Team Tested!! More please!!!
I think the idea comes from the deep dive suit "newtsuit" which has similar bearings, but watertight
I'd love to see these kind of people work on a big epic fantasy series, like the Brandon Sanderson stuff being shopped around right now. If that ever gets made, Tested, I'd love to see a video on it. ^.^
Best yellow suit in history. Damn.
This is what I subscribed for! Amazing footage
To be brutally honest the #1 failure of all Hollywood space suits in my opinion is that they focus on lighting the cast. No one gives a shit if we can see their faces, but we know they have bright lights in their eyes so they can't see out their bloody visors and it makes it all utterly unbelievable. We can deal with 120 seconds of the talents face being invisible if it means we won't have to suspend disbelief to such an extreme. Lighting the inside of a helmet is bloody ridiculous, and instantly disengages me from any films believability.
the movement in those joints is absolutely beautiful! I want to see how they're made and constructed!
'When NASA does this, it cost millions of dollars.' They've got a bigger budget than NASA.
You kept saying "Aliens" while you meant "Alien". Someone called "Scott" will not be happy while "James" will stamp a wide smile on his face ;p
Seriously you have the best job ever .
Thank you for such great insights!
Has anyone got information about how the bearings are constructed in real suits?
Before he puts on the helmet the suit reminds me of a space marine
Ok now do a salute oops cannot do it well my suit can !
0:06 - The carbon fiber on that helmet is absolutely beautiful
Funny thing is the suit's joints would've moved noiselessly if they had simply bought off-the-shelf bearings.
more of this! i want the series back with the :-€
Bring back one day builds
Phil Verhey wewt!
The interview with Janty was nice to listen to... but id love to see more footage of the suits and or the conceptart on the walls rather than that couch scene :D SHOOOW ME!
Because 70 years from now space suit is heavier and bulkier than current space suit.
Peizxcv right it's like the people who make prequels have never heard of continuity.
actually all of this comes from Alien which was made on such a moment that the vision of the future was way "older" than the one we have now, so in theory, even if its the future its more like a retrofuturistic imagination, not a realistic one. Just notice the kind of stuff, designs and technology of the Sulaco.
Came for the suit, stayed for the Janty Yates interview. Fantastic discussion.
I'm hoping that Adam got some hands-on time with the Blade Runner stuff
I've been drawing space armor suits with those hard bearing deep-sea joints since I saw them on Discovery Channel quite a few years ago. Great to see someone's putting them into practice! :D
cool patch.
Good interview Adam, I like you're practical questions and showcasing the work that goes into these. I had tried to get into special effects when I was a kid (even had a week of work experience at Movie World on the Gold Coast lined up that fell through). It is about 20 years late for me now but how about an episode on ways young people can get into this sort of job, particularly for us Australians?
To see them going from just slapping rails on pre-existing guns, to this amazingly beautiful artistry and mechanical brilliance is like night and day and don't even belong in the same movie.
I was up close and personal with this suit today. It's awesome and I fell in love with the gloves.
Absolutely beautiful constructed pieces. Craftsmanship galore. Award! 🏆 Weta for Ghost in the Shell designs too. 🏆 ☕😄
WOW!
These suits are so complex!
I would be as happy as Adam to get to ware them!
I could watch Adam interview people involved in movie prop production all day long.
Awesome, Tested! Keep 'em coming (whenever you can, I hope this isn't a one-off thing!)
HOMERUN TESTED and ADAM!!!!! DO MORE OF THIS
Tested bringing back behind the scenes stuff (special features) in such a great way, thank you!!!
Personally I thoroughly enjoyed the movie, but I can understand the hate and displease with it. However, when you watch behind the scenes stuff like this and then go back to watch the movie you can't help appreciate it regardless of whether or not the film was good or bad.
Damn adam is a savage
wauww this is soo well made! just like adam says if NASA dies this i will cost millions.
That's so awesome. I wished I could make something like that. I would love to see a firebat or marine suit for starcraft. That would be awesome
Best one yet! Those suits are amazing and having someone with experience in that sort of fab process made it so comfortable - he just had all the perfect, questions and responses. Superlative!
estan muy buenos estos episodios, tendrian que pasarlos por Discovery Chanel, antes que pasar los capitulos repetidos de... Grande Adam!
I am sure this is better than the movie itself ?!?!
That chick with the ridiculously huge ego is utterly wrong. He may have spent a long time researching, but I suspect most of it was playing video games, refreshing /b/, and the last five minutes of his project was saying "Let's just rip off the newt suit from the 1980's."
I hope Adam sees this @Tested. Its obvious! Adam should do a new show where he goes backstage and talks to the people behind the movies. Costume designer and what not, small clips of behind the scenes.... he is already known by everyone! And everyone is comfortable around him. Use that Adam!
This is great stuff! Next I hope Adam Savage gets to join the script-writing process, just to get some cool insight on how they come up with the idea of trashing everything weve come to know and love about the original alien-film!
Finally this is what we wanted a very interesting video with Adam that isn't only a minute and a half long
That's basically just a redesigned NEWTSUIT costume
All I can think of is Dr. Freeman from Half LIfe. :)
I wish I took that job at FBFX now how little I knew 😩
Love learning about the detail that comes from the minds of geniuses like Ridley.
These kinds of videos are so interesting to watch; the creative process in film production is simply amazing! Thanks to Tested for bringing us such great content!
Just saw the movie. I thought it was fun, and it somewhat went back to the roots of the franchise which was even better. Recommended to be seen in 4K theaters.
Fun!
Amazing how much goes into making these suits. I never realized how functional and high quality these suits were!
So there's going to be a vid on the creature FX, right?
its good that costume designers get recognition for their work this way.
Putting inward-facing lights inside a helmet looks cool in movies but is a preposterous idea. In a dark environment, it would make it near impossible to see what's going on outside your helmet.
as much as I miss MB, I am so thrilled with what Adam is doing at tested.com. What I Love about his videos like this are that he's equally skilled at conversational interviews as well as straight up interviews where you get the **** out of the way of whoever you're talking to, and as importantly he knows when to do which style. So many interviewers get in the way of their guest (Jon Stewart Im looking at you) but Adam knows when to participate and when to stand back.
I would love to see him do a show in the format of NDT Startalk, where each week he has a subject and has discussion with some other people live (like untitled) but also interviews some expert on that subject or goes on location to see a person. He could do so many different subjects involved with lovemaking, from directing to prop making, to miniatures to painting, to set design to costume design and wardrobe. I would watch the shit out of that. Honestly half the tested videos are essentially that, I just wish there were more of them and that they were longer and more of a tv style format with graphics and such.
That would be an awesome halloween costume. I want one
They look like Alien: Isolation's Suit
Adam, maybe you can borrow one from Janty for SDCC instead of building one!
I am so envious of Adam Savage. I love spacesuits. I absolutely adore spacesuits. When I was a child my only dream was to become an astronaut but unfortunately due to a myriad of things I was never able to do so. But seriously getting the chance to not only wear the hard shell space suit but you know later video the other space suit the more soft skin one I mean seriously I am so jealous of him. My only question now is why didn't he put on the rest of the hard shell suit? If I were him I would have asked them to put the entire thing on me.
They said something very briefly at the beginning, about the other halves of them being at a different location/building
its a shame the movie sucked a big fat one
