The amount of work involved in the making of those buildings must be staggering.
Ian Hunter is a gem. Had the pleasure of working with him on a commercial a few years ago - his team built a miniature I designed and he came out to supervise its shooting - fantastic work and such a good guy.
Fascinating. You can tell that guy is emotionally attached to those beautiful buildings. The addition of a water tower or a bridge changes the look and when they change the lighting, the buildings look completely different.
Those buildings really are fantastic. They have to be good because when it's on a big movie screen, they're gigantic and you can see detail.
Magnific galery of work and buildings 🏙️🌃🌇🥇👌👍🤩🤩💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎
I watched the movie today was blown away by the building scenes
Love The Hudsucker Proxy, such an underrated movie at the time. Nice to see they got some use out of them after too, wonder where they ended up?
I live in Wilmington. "Hollywood East" So, it was fun listening to all the goings on. De Laurentis sold to CarolCo sold to Screen Gems. When we first came to town back in 1986, King Kong's head Sat Atop the Movie Studio's Entrance. :)
That's so cool to watch, me done lots of a buildings for a movies, not the miniatures but already digitally. Top Job guys, you are truly our mentors!!!
This is SO cool. thanks for sharing.
I love this so much, thank you for uploading this!
I just love these guys..!
Fantastic interviews!
3:25 The building at the top appears to be modeled after the Chanin Building in NYC. I worked there for several years so it’s kind of neat seeing how much research they did.
Thanks for uploading:)
Awesome. Love it.
It takes a special kind of person to be a model maker, Imagine the patience!
Great story!
The quietest section in the Ethanland amusement park: Proxyland, where visitors can walk through a full-scale replica of the original models used to create the Hudsucker skyline.
Good they got used for several movies. Would've been a waste to throw out those great models after one use.
In addition, I've seen some of those same models in Eminem's clip 'The Way I am', too.
I'd love to know how they manage to make pine look that good. Any time I've done something with it, there's always wood grain visible, even after a few coats of paint. I guess lots of primer and sanding between coats?
Can you imagine Burning these models?? OMG!
That's the issue with today's society....everything is disposable. The issue with keeping "sets" is the space you need to store them not to mention being able to catalogue them and find them when you need them.
I knew the son of a co-worker who worked for a prop supply house in Toronto and he said they literally had one warehouse full of phones. 1900's every decade to 1990 (when I last spoke with him). He said they had shelves stocked by year and a photo book/catalogue so set dressers could go through it and see what they needed. If you put it back in the wrong spot? It was gone forever.
That was just phones. They had ashtrays, furniture, light fixtures, doilies, table clothes, you name it.
Those pine buildings are awesome not including the mezzanine.
I want to work for you guys. I used to build models when I was a yoot'. I'm so mad I didn't get into one of these fields I wanted to be in, but I lacked the confidence to try doing a job I really really enjoyed. Typical sheeple.
BTW, where do I send my resume?
It's a bit late now, unfortunately. Most model shops have closed. CGI has taken control. Some directors still like using practicals, though. Try working on some short films or indie films to build up a resume and show your work.
Did you say "YOOT?" "yes your honor, Yoots" What the hell is a yoot??? Youthhhhhhhhths"
That's hilarious
So, where are the buildings now? Museum? Private Collection? Can they be seen?
Probably still rotting away on the studio lot. Or they were trashed.
Eco friendly recycled miniatures!
