Crafting Superhero Suits for Power Rangers: Weta Workshop
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 фев 2025
- On the anniversary of Power Rangers, we take a look back at the hugely challenging, incredibly rewarding, process of developing the Rangers' suits' intergalactic armour.
With an embedded texture, 'glowing' veins & and a technically advanced Lycra underlayer, these suits were awesome fun to help design and create - and we were thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the Power Rangers' crew on set in Vancouver!

I really love it how when they morph, their armor is like organic. Like its their skin is switched inside out with their armor which is badass. "They're not like a suit you put on". I love that
They dont have a morpher they more in the command center
@@johnlemuelm.santiago6036 yes! They morph in command
the sequel couldve solved that problem too by simply having billy invent the morpher..You wear it..click a button and it automatically taps into your mind and brings you to the space you need to dawn the suit!
@@johnlemuelm.santiago6036 They have a morpher. We just doesn't seen it here but was planed to appear in the sequel...
@@rampageof78 morpher is on the belt like originals with buckler
Didn't know the massive effort and team work behind the suits. It literally took a village but it paid off. It's futuristic but classic looking at the same time and the mobility is mind blowing. Much respect!
Every superhero costume have huge art work behind the scene but many just care about sequel and cgi bad or good only
I love how the movie suits look especially the paint texture on the armor,it's a shame there won't be a sequel.
a suit with hidden seams and rigging, multi-layered hard components, and is still flexible enough to perform martial arts moves in...i don't think anyone really appreciates what a difficult task that is! to be honest with how organic they were, i thought the suits were entirely CGI, but knowing they're done practically is almost mindblowing!
i dont think the director appreciated either, since he barely used them in the movie.
@@ge2719 he validated the design so he liked them. It's just how the story was, an introduction
True.. It’s Impressive..
@@Nomadx83 Na GE Is Right.. The Director Over Played His Hand..
That's the dream job right there, not making power ranger suits but just working there, getting to make all that awesome stuff just looks like so much fun.
Space City Props if I were a designer I would redesign the suits to make it more different not like the show but to give it some reapect
Harder than you think I am studying computer graphics and boy is not for everyone.
Kevin Ditawole I feel you
I wish there was a business out there where we can request to make our ideas of suits and armor come to life
@@hmongninjatsu1048
You can, you just gotta learn everything these ppl do and go far on the business, just a few decades of work lol.
Designer: This is one of the best costumes I ever made!
Editor: Great! Now cover it in CGI.
Designer: Am I joke to you?
Joe Matsuzawa
I hate the way they cover them with CGI....It's like already good
Forever Gabriel Christ might morgh power GR Ranger remeber voices. Universe ok okay love too you tharks frieds
Cgi is art too
Designers don't care, they still get paid all the same.
I love how u guys made the suits look organic it really adds the alien element of power rangers. Completely underrated in how amazing they look
While I still think the design of the suits is entirely too busy, the execution of the work is tremendous.
Cotygeek couldn't agree more. Amazing work but the creative design of the film was just completely off
I understand your point of view BUT I think that's what they were going for this time around since this movie is partially aimed at a new generation of viewers.
The devil is in the detail
they make my eyes spin, haha
Its so intriguing
The sheer passion and love you poured in these suits is outstanding.
It is the PERFECT sci-fi armor for a martial artist. The way the armor plates don't collide so it gives full range of motion is pure genius.
I wish we’d get a sequel so we could see these suits more!
I wish so too
Sequel was originally planned before the first even released but due to it's lackluster performance, It was scrapped resulting in the franchise getting rebooted with another film at some point.
@@charlesdavis4887 hopefully with the same cast.
@@MunroMcLaren It’s unfortunately going to be a different cast.
I hope Hasbro knows what they’re doing. It better be something good. Because I was really hopping we would get the sequels from this film.
True that. Luckily, Lionsgate released concept art for what Tommy’s green ranger suit would look like. I wonder what his white ranger suit would have looked like eventually.
The galaxy in the centre of the suit is the icing on the cake for me when it comes to the suit's design. I was wondering how they managed to pull the effect off!
Now I'm getting excited to express being optimistic with the galactic hawks suits and the new Max Steel matching the Power Rangers a bit.
Saw the helmets up close and personal during a tour of Weta's workshop when I went to NZ in April of last year. The time and dedication that those amazing people put into all their work is incredible. Seeing them on screen was great and all, but getting the chance to take a look at them with your own eyes is something else entirely!
What Weta does even for the smallest of gags on screen is astonishing. The intricacy of the pieces they make is just marvelous. Even Ghost in the Shell (though equally as much of a flop as this) has a piece so intricately designed that was on screen for a few seconds, Major's android skeleton is just impossible to describe
They did an incredible job on the suits. Imagine if they did The Guyver suit, that would be awesome.
I Second that!!!!!
I third that. There really was a missed opportunity here to use the suits more...actually the whole movie was a missed opportunity.
Brant Frans
Now that you mention it, these movie versions of the Power Ranger suits very much look like the Guyver suit! I wouldn’t be surprised if Guyver was the inspiration for the alien look of these new suits.
batman robin
I mean even the 1991 Guyver movie had a fantastic looking suit. Was the best thing about that movie.
These suits ended up being so incredible, really fresh and innovative, can't believe more people didn't watch this movie. Still holding out hope for a sequel but seeing them auction off the props might be the final nail in the coffin...
These suits are badass! They pay homage to the original suit designs while giving them an otherworldly look and feel. It's just a damn shame that they didn't continue on with this particular film franchise.
There’s more screen time of the suits in this video than the movie.
Mr H LoL😂😂
dude its only the 1st movie
I dont remember iron man's armor looking organic like
Whack jokes aside, the movie did good and I loved it! If this was a sequel, I'm sure there would be more action and suit scenes.
Haha thats funny
Weta workshop is what gives me hope that the future will be a better day.
I loved the surface design of these suits. Their glittery marble shine reminded me of bowling balls, which then reminded me of the nineties, which then reminded me of the Power Rangers. Whether intentional or not, this small detail provided a very deep and layered sense of nostalgia.
the movie suits were awesome! so cool to see how they were actually made!
Imagine. Me, a long time Power Rangers fan without the knowledge that Weta made the suits. I took the tour at the Weta Studios a few years ago and was shocked that one of the suits was there on display. I couldn't believe what I saw it was amazing
The suits great but the helmets mouth area are ugly ruining the whole thing. They should get rid off the fake plastic mouths
The Suits are incredible 😮 I thought it was almost all CG like with Ironman. Can't believe the amount of work and detail you spend on those beautiful pieces. Wish there were more scenes of the Rangers and their suits in action rather than the angsty teenie dialouges we got 🤣
FYI, this movie is an origin story. you're obviously not a movie goer and just love watching superheroes in their suits.
Cholo Caguingin I know that. Still the plot was super thin 😄 a little more Rangers in action could have saved it for sure. A movie marketed as an action loaded Blockbuster which only has one major action set piece did something wrong. Still loved the suits and the few action sequences quite a bit.
nuzilloyd i likes my character moments and fun chemistry and interactions than using the suits for action
InTheEnd75 sure don't get me wrong, I like that too, in movies with well written characters. I didn't hate the movie, was just pointing out what I would have liked more of and what did not work for me. If you enjoyed the character moments more than I did, I'm not gonna try to talk down own you. Neither of our opinions about the movie is worth more or less.
nuzilloyd You'd be very surprised how real the suit was for Iron Man 1, they never really mentioned it again for the other films but I remember hearing the the Ironman MK2 or 3 suit was like 120 layers all in all and was a real suit he wore in scenes all like glued d9wn plastic and it took a couple of hours to put on. I wish they stuck with it because the actual iron man suit in IM1 looks so real in some scenes now it looks very fake or CGI, mainly the colours of the suit and reflections look weird. But yeah hahaha ✌
And here I thought it was mostly CGI. You folks did an amazing job designing and constructing these suits.
As a 3D printing enthusiast, this was a very satisfying video to watch
These suits were way too beautiful and perfect
The outfits look very impressive, so modern, and a bit more up to date.
Those suits are just beautiful. You guys did an amazing AMAZING job bringing these heroes to life. I feel like every time I see a new behind the scenes video on them- there's more detail to be seen. I can't imagine how much time went into each and every piece. Well done, guys.

I've seen every live-action superhero suit... THANK Y'ALL FOR MAKING THE BEST SUPERHERO SUIT/COSTUMES OVER ALL I HAVE EVER SEEEEEEN!
I love these suits! Lots of hard work and love went into making them. It’s a shame a sequel got scrapped due to lackluster sales.
The red ranger suit was the best one. From color to design. The helmet design kind of gave me a classic sports car feel
I just wish these suits had more screen time. They truly are amazing suits but I just wish it could be more
I honestly loved this movie. Just the built up to the suites was so fuckin epic and fulfilling. I know many were mad that they didn’t get to see much of the suites but honestly the movie was great. The cast was on point and they deserved a
sequel!!
This workshop is so skilled. I wish I could see the suits in person
I appreciate the hardwork that they did with the suits but I still prefer the 90's ones. The helmets alone are badass
I still love the 1995 movie suits and helmets. But I love the idea of energy growing on their body.
All that work for just 90 seconds of hand-to-hand combat in costume, and for the rest they just sit down in a small box with the face part removed. What a movie.
beautiful suits i hope that they give this franchise at least one more chance and give us a sequel i loved the movie and really appreciated the detail that went into everything including the costumes
Too bad that’s not going to happen. But I wanted a sequel too
too bad we only saw them for 5 seconds in the movie!
Honestly....3 min fight scene. Then boom! ZORDS....WHAT'S GOING ON??? can't see a thing...fin.
Homework Radio so true
Tbf the superhero part of the movie was the weakest part of the film.
Agreed, it was great until they got the suits
SHOVEL GAMES yeah, because who cares about good characters and motivations, we only care about action and CGI, that is what makes a good movie
Happy to find this
Woaw this is so cool really appreaciate what you guys did here.
If only we could have seen more of the green suit
this talented craftsmen actually saved 1000s of rendering hours
I honestly wish one day we can get kind of deeper look into this just to be able to make nice cosplay close as your work is to be beautiful and accurate and mobile
It's nice but they should've gone with some of those badass looking fan arts
can you imagine if they made the green ranger? oh my god the dragon shield.. how would they do the dragon shield.. I NEED TO SEE IT NOW
These power Rangers suits are mad dope
Awesome work. These suits are incredible. Hope we get a sequel.
Yō sequel human gimme the name of the sequel
Best.
Ranger suits.
Ever.
If they made a green ranger for this timeline, you could EASILY just add Tommy's original design, Chest Sheild and gold accents and they would fit perfectly with these designs.
always thought the suits were so cool and a really awesome modernization of the OG morphing suits
The Process and the work put into the suit is awesome but in the end 2018 suit can never beat the 90's suit in design and the feeling they brought when they first appeared.
I like the practical effect combines with CGI like spiderman and superman and black panther
I love the suit design of new power rangers movie....very very awesome.....
Can’t wait to see what Tommy’s suit would look like
Well since it's discontinued we may never know. But Rita's suit is the only thing that we can look at and agree to. I really wish that they could have given him another chance to write and make a second movie. But the fact that Rita was the green ranger was absolutely amazing and how Zordon was the red ranger made absolute sense. The suits of the rangers were all good and we're amazing how they looked.
Have a chat to WozB for some stories related to his designs in the OG Power Rangers Movie. He has some fantastic Ivan Ooze facts.
Tempest veloz space Zeo ok cor withe Gabriel Christ ok Robo clones yes forever
My compliments to the costume department. The writers can kiss it
They worked so hard on this suit only to give it less screen time
Definitely need a sequel to this!
All that work and detail just for the suits to have 10 minutes of air time
God I love these costumes. Too bad we’ll never seen them again 😞
damn all that hard work and effort for just one film?! thats dedication
After watching this video, I was impressed by the effort put into the production. I came up with an idea or two for the next movie. Those ideas could really use your help. 👍
Damn that project supervisor's got some moves
Cart Red Wither yellow blue power Ranger. King France symbot. Yellow Red Lions king espanhe ok curutiba movie
The mobility of this suits is great! I certainly loved the new concept and the designs look amazing. Left me wondering about that crystal like transparency and texture, now I know! great video, thank you!
I like how there is also a green ranger suit for the movie
Wait, Weta... you did the costumes for the film? Huh, newfound respect for an okay movie from a long time power rangers fan.
EDIT: Wait, Legacy Effects (aka Stan Winston Studios formerly) did the artwork and designs for the suits? Another mindblow.
BloodyFlowerFilms stolen from guyver.
Looks like Iron Man's suit on Infinity War
I really liked these suits.They look alien, but still for humans. Hope theres more screen time with them on.
What was cool about the original costume is that the helmets have the prehistoric creature that represents their personality
Wish we could’ve seen more of Rita’s Green Ranger Suit
Such an underrated movie, hope we will get a sequal someday...
wow, amazing!! Loved the 3d printing texture from Zbrush to the fabric. Awesome!
You know how to use zbrush?
Yes
*Tony Stark Has Sold His Iron Man Suit Design and Blueprint*
The power rangers movie came first before infinity war so......
@@gabanna the ironman movie came first before the power rangers movie came out.
@@gabanna same goes for tron, max steel, robocop, so on.. and so on.. wait- holy shit dude!
Im actually talking bout the ironman bleeding edge nanotech suit...not the previous iron man suit from previous movies... i mean...everybody knows ironman was release way long before the power rangers movie...
@@gabanna well tron, robocop(the remake movie), and max steel still did nearly the same thing. I mean like if we fuse them all together it's basically power rangers.
Very cool! I always assumed they were just CG, so it's cool to know that they were actually real suits!
Thenew52 Superman newmg
Amazing work! Beautiful
Amazing work!
So creative! I loved the 2017 movie suits!💯❤️✌
That dude had some legit kicks in his tool kit
honestly i wasnt a big fan of the suits or movie but there were some nice moments overall i do like their thoughts behind the suits
That's great. But the suits don't look like they have belts for the Morphers. Like the old Mighty Morphin/Zyuranger suits!
This is a wesome. I love power rangers👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😇
*Sees this as I am planning to continue my Blue Ranger* AH YES, More clean shots of the back :D
So awesome, thanks guys.👍🏻
I want a Power Rangers sequel if only to see more of these suits in action.
Tell that to Hasbro
I prefer old school power rangers outfits
Why can't we like both
@@5specidk gatekeeping when power rangers has so many outfits already
1:40 I didn't know that the texture was 3d sculpted. I saw the armor pieces on the auction website and wondering how this was done. Now, I wonder if this was ever printed to an extent.
This is one of the power ranger suits that realistic
Peoples can say what they want but these suits are wonderful and realistic in anyway as space over power warriors
This movie was rad and I love mighty morphing,sadly the sequels where cancel but there is a new movie with david frank as an evil version of tommy coming up soon.
ik b25 that's not a movie, it's a promo video for the comic event that starting soon.
Emmanuel Silvera seriously?damn it
So hard work and so amazing❤
When I saw the thumbnail, I mistook the Red Ranger suit from the back for Lord Zedd.
same
Suits are great but I wish they were more bulkier
Hi! is there any place where we can get a full view of the green suit? or helmet at least?
Not a fan of the 2017 suits AT ALL, but you guys did a great job making them. Love your work.
Muy bueno e interesante 👍👍👍👍😁😁🤙🤙💋💋una pregunta los trajes se podrían hacer en realidad en estos tiempos
I was surprised that it was Weta Workshop that designed and make the Power Ranger's suits intergalactic armor. Cool and awesome/lovely how the armor looks on those of the crew trying them on and the moves they do in them. It would be better to see the cast, playing the Power Ranger characters, trying on the Superhero Power Ranger Suits. Were they working on this during, or shortly after working on Ghost in the Shell?
Love the movie, I saw it 18 times in theaters Love Weta and I love it when Richard Taylor takes about how the design works (always hear his voice in my head whenever I wonder how a design was thought of for fantasy things)
But, in all honesty, I feel like it was trying too hard. They wanted it to not be just a large budget episode of the show, they wanted it to stand out, but it did it too much. Megazord was too different that it had a 'what is that supposed to be' look. (It had feet that looked like what a fly does after swatting at it with a fly swatter). The design of the suits were nice, but they just didn't have enough individual uniqueness besides Red and Green.
Yeah, I'd say they focused so much on Red Ranger that they simply replicated him with slightly different details, which is not what they're supposed to look like, each one has its own look that is enough to look both as cool and recognizable. The cluster of layers of textures is too much too, Tony Stark would have an aneurisma just by looking at one of them, even years later I have trouble telling what the hell I'm looking at.
I wish POWER RANGERS' director could see our opinions. The biggest mistake upon the movie was the fact that there was too much talk instead of action. The designers took a long time making those suits to show 5 min of them in the movie. People wanted more details, more slow motion, more nice poses,...
awesome work team...
