Time lapsed of the ship construction made for the Titanic movie in 1997. Going all the way to make one great movie by James Cameron. Hope you enjoy his and his crew's work, cheers! :)
James Cameron seriously should’ve kept this set as a tourist attraction. I bet lots of people wish they could walk around the ship and experience the Titanic for themselves! It would’ve been so fun! 😊
Shh if he kept it we couldn't've built the titanic quarter & made bank thanx to james cameron. He doesn't need the money but us Northern Irish need it.
Many were saying CGI, no but he actually built the ship. Of course there are scenes made with CGI but this was a hell of a project. It's mind blowing. Kudos to the producer and everybody else🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely fascinating and magical. He provided the closest thing for a film set. Remarkable. The actors were so lucky to have experienced such a recreation wow
The music and the Timelapse gave me the impression that the construction workers were told that James Cameron was coming onto the set in 2 minutes and the set wasn’t built yet, and proceeded to build the entire thing in 2 minutes while breaking the laws of physics every second
I bet those men cried after making this replica of the great ship thinking about the tragedy and all the lives lost and even though it's not the real ship they actually got the honor of rebuilding the ship and being able to see the great ship back above water for just a short time this video touched me a little bit
Apparently at the end of the filming the "Titanic" was a rusting decrepit hulk that was starting to fall apart, keep in mind this wasn't an actual proper functioning replica but an intricate set that resembled a ship.
James Cameron sure had a lot of balls to want to make this movie. I'm not sure if it was his ego or if he's adventurous. Maybe both. If Titanic would have been a box office failure, I think that would have been the end of his career.
I’m sure that even if the film failed in the box office everyone involved would have had no regrets anyway, they rebuilt the fricken titanic and got to film a movie on it.
The rms Olympic would of been the ultimate museum.. she's was identical to the titanic to the untrained eye. But for some reason they decided to scrap her.
Because it's just a hollow shell, and only one side of it is actually finished. They needed to flip the image whenever they needed to film the other side of the ship.
Not exactly 1:1. Some details were shunk by up to 10% to allow for camera angles, sound equipment and lighting arrangements, etc. With some of the smaller movie making equipment we have today they probably could build all of it at 1:1.
Some people think the ship was CGI when they first saw it If it is, how would the actors stand in the ship and water coming in the ship while the people drowning.
Litski True. The CGI used for the high seas on “King of the World” scene, also the CGI used for people and smoke when the camera shoot slowly from the bow to the stern using their 1:20 scale ship model
What's interesting is that they actually only built the starboard side and the decks. The port side of this ship is just a huge opening. The problem with this is that for the Southampton scene they needed the port side of the ship and not the starboard side. They had to mirror all lettering on the dock buildings, cars, and the ship name as well. They also had to mirror all the actors' clothes and hairstyles as well, which is why Leonardo Dicaprio's hair looks a bit weird in that scene, it wouldn't comb over to the other side that well. In editing they flipped the camera footage over so all lettering would look correct again.
Love the bagpipe selections. Straight from the movie. James stated that the immigrants were having fun since they were on their way to the new world. And they were coming to America the right way.
jesus I hadn't ever thought about how they filmed the scenes on the ship but if I had I would have assumed they just did it on a look like ship and created some sets, not the whole damn ship lol. the tilting rear is pretty cool too, again hadn't ever thought about the filming aspect of that scene.
An as low a cost as possible built movie set is not safe for public touring. If you have ever seen what is behind those nice televison and movie show sets you would know how temporary and dangerous the construction is.
@Subdomine they built multiple models. They had one for the wreck underwater, one to shoot the initial moments of sinking, one for the Southampton scene, one for the break up, and a miniature one to shoot scenes that capture the whole structure of the ship.
To make that a publicly accessible attraction, it would've had to be built to a different set of building and safety codes. Just because it looks like it could've been a museum doesn't mean they would allowed to use it as such.
The rms Olympic would of been the ultimate museum.. she's was identical to the titanic to the untrained eye. But for some reason they decided to scrap her.
Pure awesomeness!!! All that has gone with CGI. Just think of the beautiful and huge Star Wars models of the 1980s. Master skills are lost. Watch the 1959 Ben Hur. Real horse races! (And sadly real dead stuntmen)
Play with Junk they built pretty much all the rooms and part of the Titanic for a night to remember but the sets were burned after filming, not only that but they didn't have to make noise for the sinking when they jacked the sets up they actually creaked probably like how the real ship would have done
Where on earth did you get that nonsense?? The movie was shot onboard the RMS Asturias, that was scheduled for scrapping. Most of the starboard side had be demolished, and so they used mirrors to mimic that side of the ship. It was a good movie for its day, but the interiors were very different from that of the real Titanic and hardly any sets were made for the film. The 1979 movie S.O.S Titanic, was even worse, it was mostly filmed on board the Queen Mary in Long Beach, a ship that was decorated in art deco style, the real Titanic was mostly Edwardian. The dining room and staterooms was the The Waldorf Hotel in London. The only movie with the most historically correct interiors will always be James Camerons. Nobody will ever come close to that.
People here are funny. Why would you use real size models just for a movie? Well, here is the thing: Thats how movies are made man, thats how movies are made since forever. Models are made for the movie, bam. Thats about it.
I'm laughing so hard at all the people who say they should have turned it into a museum or an actual ship. Does anyone of you realize that this model had nothing inside of it except of wires? No rooms, no aisles, nothing. The scenes inside the Titanic were filmed on another set.
His name is James, James Cameron the bravest pioneer no budget to steep no sea too deep who’s that it’s him James Cameron. James Cameron explorer of the sea with a dying thirst be the first can it be its him James Cameron.
Green screen is actually invented in 1940. And also, when they use green screen, it looks cheap and not realistic. That's why they won so many awards especially to the Best Production Design.
This replica was 85% of titanics size, not 90%. It was also way to deep draught in the water so it looked not as high and massive as the original ship. You can see that clearly in the scene when they film the whole ship just after they stopped it after the iceberg hit, that F deck portholes is almost at the water surface. In reality F deck portholes was around 3.5-4 meters above the water line.
Does anyone know the exact dimensions of this model? the actual Titanic was 269 meters long as I read. I would like to compare this one to the original
They could literally rebuild the actual ship, don't you think? And the technology we got today is way more advanced than it was in 1912. Do you think Titanic had it's time as a passenger ship in 1912 or could they try again?
They wanted the smoke from the towers wave in the right direction, so it was on purpose. They had to built the itmes anyway on their own. You can read all of this in the official book James Cameron's Titanic.
