FULL STORY here: bit.ly/SmallSoldPupsYT
Go behind the scenes of Joe Dante’s #SmallSoldiers and see how Stan Winston Studio used real puppets and on-set performance to bring to life the militarized Action Figures.
Stan Winston Studio designed and built two categories of characters for the film - Commando Elite soldiers, and alien Gorgonites, all of which were realized as articulated puppets. In total, Small Soldiers would feature fourteen distinct characters: six Commandos, seven Gorgonites, and a ‘Gwendy’ fashion doll. Although Gwendy would require only one type of puppet, the action requirements in the script mandated that each of the remaining thirteen characters be realized, initially, in three configurations: as a self-contained, battery-powered puppet, a rod puppet, and a non-articulated stand-in.

Hard surface objects are the easiest to render. There's a reason the earliest full CGI movies were Toy Story and a Bug's Life. Insects and toys are more accessible.

A lot more than a couple scenes were... Most of the shots where the characters walk/run/jump or even sometimes just standing around were CGI

@bobi_futt 5 лет назад

@@mrbrown2186 If you watch the movie again, there are plenty plenty shots of CGI. They mainly only used these puppets for hero shots where they were standing still or barely moving

@mrbrown2186 5 лет назад

@@bobi_futt thank you, and yes I know that CGI was used a lot in this film, but I was specifically refering to the scenes containing these puppets, as initially I thought they were done with CGI, as I was unaware that they had used any live puppets.

@MasterMayhem78 5 лет назад

Very fun video. This movie ages well because of the amazing puppeteering. CGI graphics lose their flashiness very quickly, whereas true puppetry can't be faked so it always looks good no matter what the puppet looks like. I've seen a marionette made up of about 10 popsickle sticks that looked and moved like the most realistic stick man I've ever seen.

Hello and good evening, I just wanted to say thank you for uploading these “Behind the Scenes” videos. This film was one of my favourite films as a kid and it still is now. I was always disappointed the DVD version never had a featurette showcasing the puppets and puppeteers working the controls (like in these videos and i’m sure it wasn’t easy to operate). I have also read your blog on your website about the film and it’s quite fascinating to learn how you brought the characters to life and the hard work that went into making them.

Regardless of how each and everyone feels about the film itself, this kind of movie magic is something to be truly appreciated but also, quite sadly, it is something that we increasingly see less and less in movie making; and that is pretty sad because this is an art form seemingly on the brink of extinction 😐😔...
