  • In the final video from our visit to Propstore's UK headquarters, Adam sits down with Propstore founder and CEO Stephen Lane in his office to examine two of his most prized pieces of filmmaking history. The first is an original Tusken Raider mask from Star Wars--screen matched as the very first one we see on screen that Luke encounters at the beginning of the film! Adam and Stephen also examine an art department maquette of the Space Jockey from Ridley Scott's Alien, screen matched from behind-the-scenes photos as a sculpture worked on by H.R. Giger!

      No it ain't. No breather and only 4 horns. Go check out the scene from the movie. Adam has been duped by another fake again. Like the fake suits from Star Trek 2. Lol It's such a giveaway that Adam has never watched any of these movies or he spot the most obvious things. Oh but wait you didn't spot that either...

      The best way to do this is just to scan it. There are more and more 3d scanners that are affordable/cheap. But I’m not sure if they’re accurate enough yet. However for this, that’s how I would approach it since you simply would not have the ability to go back and fourth measuring multiple times. That and maybe a couple of reference measurements with a decent digital caliper

I mean they have a full size replica of the Millenium Falcon. You can go inside, and stand next to the chess table, and walk down the hall to the cockpit. And of course pretend to fly it. Another massive room you walk in to, and it's filled with stormtroopers. The galaxy is behind them in a giant docking area, with tie fighters and destroyers flying by.

  • @transtubular
    @transtubular Год назад +1

    The coloring of the leather on the mask is due to the presence of moisture in the air and leather and the aluminium. Metals often have that effect on leather. Sometimes it's because of the way the leather was tanned and sometimes it's a reaction to something else briefly coming into contact. Most of the time it is permanent. I've had it happen to several of my own projects.

Only one leaves with the loser having the cranium caved in with the awaiting Banthas outside to take the Raider back to the Tatooine desert or nearest sand box provided by local city/county parks and recreation.

    I love these episodes, but I do wince when prop store make logic leaps like “this was in a Film Geiger was involved in and has been airbrushed, geiger liked using airbrushes, therefore this was painted by Geiger”

    I have always thought that was one of the best masks from the franchise. It looks like something that actually could exist on a desert planet. I'm VERY surprised that Lucasfilm let it go...

      Less was kept from the first film because they didn't know that it was going to be such a massive hit. Ironically, in many respects Empire and Jedi are the harder of the three to collect original material from, because while they built more for those, a much higher percentage was retained.

      you kind of have to remember that Star Wars also started during a time when film collectibles weren't that big of a deal.. the culture just wasn't really there. Same with merchandising.
      So most films of that era and earlier would wrap and then most props just either thrown away to make space or maybe given as gifts and souvenirs. After all, the prop isn't needed anymore. So most props that do survive from way back when tend to only exist because luckily some crew member thought it was kinda cool or someone forgot to throw it out or someone found it in the trash etc
      Originally the most sought after "film memorabilia" were autographs or film posters.

    Feels like yesterday, that I saw it for the first time. Was also about 7-8 years old.
    A shiver goes through my body when I think of the "sound" / "call"..that they had. Echoed in the valley.😳
    Really scary.😟

    From a backstory perspective, I would be curious how nomadic tribesmen would have access to lathes and milling machines, and just what those parts were for. I also wonder what form of life they might be, assuming they are not human.

    I'm really interested in that Star Wars poster on the wall. It is different from a similar version of the poster which is much more common.
