GHOSTBUSTERS and 2010 miniature effects 

Lots of great photos in this. Thanks for not forcing zooms or other movement into the pics, but just letting them speak for themselves.

These craftsmen and artists are the heroes of movie making , RESPECT !!!!!!

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.

I really enjoy these short interviews, a perspective you don't normally get. I appreciate you sharing these extended segments. Cheers!

Thanks for this great documentary, Berton. You really captured the time & I enjoyed seeing the faces from the past!!

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.

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.

These are great videos with some awesome stories! Love all the behind the scene stuff.

8:27 That depicts the suitmation from the makings of the Japanese Godzilla films. Godzilla suit actors, Nakajima-san and Tsutomu Kitagawa would be proud.

Awesome, thanks for sharing 👍

These videos are great! Really inspirational for amateur modelers to up their game. Great stuff!

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.

This is a wonderful series

That's awesome to realize those buildings were retrofitted Blade Runner buildings 😲

13:20 - :40 so is that why we got so many exciting movies with complex plots that hold up decades later?

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!

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

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.

I just wish they'd get the rights to show the scenes along with those descriptions...

Pretty sure the waterfalls of Naboo for Phantom Menace were also salt.

Thanks for the upload!

What's the most common materials for making miniatures and scale models? Are they off-the-shelf and widely available? Are toys ever used in filmmaking?

👏 Yes!

It's a shame all this ingenuity and creativity has been lost to bland CGI.

15:44 The rocket nozzles for the Discovery are all wrong... and nothing like the original...

What was the scale of the miniature? Since those are toy cars

The documentary looks great - is it on Netflix?

Do you ever use Chip Board in the Builds

Are some pieces cast in Bondo and casting Resin

:)

Ahora las películas son puro CGI
