Adam really needs to spend a day with The Corridor Crew. They almost fainted when they were with Alex Laurant and one of the photos he showed them had Adam in it and he told them "yeah Adam and I go way back.".

[@rioncitylife1917]

looking forward to the new Ghostbusters movie plan on watching it when it opens

[@springwoodslasher79]

Should of used practical on the ghosts i think the cg looks terrible. Sad when the ghosts look better in 84. Movies are a joke today

[@dlarsh]

I could listen to Adam talk shop with professionals all day long; he's great at drawing out their experience, while adding his own insights, all while not taking over the conversation. Also, I was already looking forward to Afterlife, but each of these videos has ramped that excitement up steadily to the point where it's my most anticipated film of the year!

[@thepopculturebuff5080]

I’d honestly watch a talk show with Adam Hosting.

[@Vickie-Bligh]

A "love letter to the 84 movie". Basically a love letter to his dad. That's nice. Thanks for sharing this, Adam.

[@pharmit24]

Seriously, more Hollywood movies in the making should call Adam for a taste of what's to come!

[@CoNtAiNeR93]

Seriously, we should care about how we should be living...

[@nightdrake8221]

I'm so lost by yalls comments. Haha

[@ericleef1319]

That a great idea!

[@specialk314]

Seems to be the closest we get to making of videos anymore

[@tested]

Hear hear!

[@OutOfSpaceGVL]

So I noticed something that might be my favorite detail yet. As we all know, the Ecto is a 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Sentinel. Living in the middle of nowhere, it would make sense for Egon to need parts readily available for it. SO, sitting in the yard, is a 1958 Cadillac Series 62 sedan, which by all of my research so far, has an incredibly similar parts selection (or atleast close enough for Egon to modify.) EXCELLENT set dressing. A detail they did not have to add, but wonderfully appreciated.

[@donc.s.8066]

I noticed that in the very first trailer. Several "donor" Caddies on the property.

[@fourbyfourer]

Adam, you sir are the perfect person to be doing this kind of thing for us. The energy that "oozes" (see what I did there) out of you during this video is awesome. I am living a dream through you, and I thank you for what you do. Cheers!!

[@elissitdesign]

THIS IS MY CHILDHOOD MOVIE. I’m so proud to see love and care for the history and fan base is being considered. I watched the original almost everyday after school in 1987-1989 VHS. Massive fan here! 👋🏼 “The flowers are still standing!” “He just slimed me!”

[@newman977]

I grew up with the original movie as well. Just as a cherry on top, this one was filmed in my backyard!

[@jorgestun9521]

The film will be based on an episode of the 1986 animated series "The Real Ghostbuster"

[@supercarsXposed]

What an insanely good interview, it was in such a detailed matter I could actually learn from it & understand everything

[@thedoctor755]

You can tell this film has a lot of love & care being poured into it. I can't wait :) Thanks, Adam!

[@sweetcinnamonpnchkin]

Similar to KOTM, you can tell the movie stands on its own but pays homage (giant love letter)

[@brianwaskow5910]

Alessandro has the coolest job and he explained in such a precise manner. Hopefully it inspires young people to pursue a job like his. If I were younger that is something I would look into.

[@poisoncheeto9956]

Your age has nothing to do with it. It's experience and that takes time and talent. Besides, the same computer you're watching this on can make film quality special effects. At this point in oh history there's no excuse.

[@alwayscensored6871]

@@poisoncheeto9956 Unreal 5 means anyone could make a movie.

[@hazonku]

I didn't really get started until my 30s. it's just a question of whether you're willing to learn & apply yourself. Best part about being older is we know how it was done back in the day & when something needs that "retro look" that's so popular these days we can nail it while the kids will get 99.9% of the way there & see something's off but not know what. Meanwhile I'm over here laughing because I know it just needs a tiny wiggle because optical compositing was layers of film shot onto more film meaning you'd get the film gate jitter from those different cameras.

[@jayj84]

Alessandro spoke beautifully and with such passion. Look forward to seeing his work on the big screen

[@alisavogt2892]

Wow, I didn't think about the difference between 1984/89 special effects and 2020. I'm really going to enjoy looking at this movie a bit differently now! Thanks!

[@NylonStrap]

I finally got to see it last night and it was a great time. The visual effects was amazingly good and the story was so endearing.

[@verticalisland]

Awesome work Adam! I hope you get to do more behind the scenes kind of stuff of productions being filmed!

[@BlackwaterBronn]

Yes! I really can't wait to see this move. It was a huge part of my growing up. Thank you for sharing this with us. You the best.

[@DrNothing23]

Each of your onset vids gets me more pumped to see it! ;)

[@cole003f]

from how involved he's been i'm thinking adam is going to have a cameo in the backgrond of a scene at some point but only recognising it's him by the hat

[@karlrobertosterman]

What a charming man. Adam, thanks for taking the time for this.

[@SJ-cy3hp]

Thanks Adam! I’m super excited to see this film now!

[@donc.s.8066]

It makes me so happy that they aren't relying solely on CGI. And it seems the CGI will be done with care and respect for the look and feel of the originals.

[@janderson0719]

“Ray, has ever occurred to that the reason we’ve been so busy lately because the dead HAVE been rising from the grave?”

[@TheCHRISCaPWN]

I am SOOO ready to see this movie!!!!! These videos only get me more excited! Thank you for sharing them!

[@rioncitylife1917]

Looks really cool to work on the set of a movie, awesome stuff Adam

[@Oldmanskateboarder]

17 more days till this amazing movie comes out!! Seeing these episodes and all that Jason and the crew have shown us fans I feel this film is gonna blow us all away. This is such an amazing time to be a Ghostbusters fan

[@cozyhome297]

Lol I’m starting to get more into ghostbusters now. Don’t get mad but I actually got interested back when the 2016 film came out. Of course I watched the actual movies after, and I loved them. I can’t wait for this to come out too 😎

[@Oldmanskateboarder]

@@cozyhome297 glad the reboot got ya into it man! And awesome that you became a Ghosthead yourself dude!!

[@cozyhome297]

@@Oldmanskateboarder Thanks!

[@vitoguttilla2926]

Afterlife brought the franchise back to where it belongs. Absolutely phenomenal.

[@stevelee4653]

Adam love the you tube site!! some awesome behind the scenes of Ghostbusters.. some awesome work!! thanks!! so much!!!😀

[@chadhartsees]

It had to have been hard to keep these in the can this long with the delays!

[@tested]

You have NO IDEA!

[@chadhartsees]

@@tested The part about taking different materials/colors to the set and getting different light readings and seeing how the light on the set impacts the color of something that might be added later was the best part for me. That's probably why so much SFX CG work looks so disconnected because there wasn't a way to match the set's lighting to what was going to be created later.

[@uzazil]

I wish more cg guys had as much love for the practical fx as he does.

[@reezlaw]

They all do, it's a false narrative. They're not at odds with each other, they work together.

[@uzazil]

@@reezlaw Not true. Some shops like weta and ilm do but the smaller shops don't.

[@CloudHindlen]

That was nice to be able to hear their thoughts on the making of Ghostbusters. Interaction's like this should happen more often.

[@shanus11]

these are the best sort of videos. i could watch a 2 hour version lol

[@chartle1]

During this entire interview we get to see a very important job on set, Grass Wrangler. It's a very important job. 👍

[@dolphstarwind1183]

I just now noticed that at 7:50 when one of the mini Puffs is melting in fire on the grill, it gives a thumbs up. Nice Terminator 2 reference.

[@DanyTV79]

I just can't wait!

[@sundaesorceress]

So fascinating to watch the people in the background set dec-ing the hay on the ground!

[@kriscynical]

The VFX department liking the fact that Jason had a VERY CLEAR vision of exactly what he wanted... as an illustrator and colorist for a living I cannot stress enough how WONDERFUL it is when a client has a very clear vision of what they want. Most lay people assume that artists want absolute freedom whenever possible, but in many cases that isn't true at all. The thing with many creative people is that the possibilities are SO VAST and SO NUMEROUS that it's actually a detriment to have too much freedom when it comes to creating something for a client. I'm always happiest when my clients know exactly what they want and can describe it to me in detail, sometimes even providing reference for various things within the piece. It makes my job much easier, it lets me work faster, and in the case of jobs where I charge by the hour? It saves the client money.

[@derekmcfadyen127]

Thanks for this buddy ! 😃

[@wycliffe_ndiba]

That was a very lovely talk. I loved that

[@mmcc2852]

i am so anxious in the end when the musics creeps in, its like this guy was talking on stage recieving an oscar, but getting played off

[@beneagle44]

so excited for the movie

[@171QA]

I hope the movie will turn out good.

[@dethklokemployee]

it didn't turn out good... it turned out amazing.

[@duckfilms3662]

Ah yes, Savage Adam.

[@DavidDragonhammer]

The one film am looking forward too, all this hype, but will it be as good as the first one??

[@skrimper]

Probably, the first one isn't really that good of a movie. Mediocre but a cult classic nonetheless.

[@robertvandervelden5917]

Anyway to find out where that blue caddy went and if it's available to buy?!

[@matthorner35]

This is first film since the late 90s where the vfx dropped my jaw, particularly in the last third of the film.

[@skepticalbadger]

They were great! I kept waiting to roll my eyes at the CGI but it was really good and superbly balanced with practical FX.

[@tjthrash0143]

This inside look as a run up to the release is really cool. I do hope other movies will take this and run with it. I'd love to see Adam do an inside dive into the Matrix Resurrections.

[@fieromike1]

Too cool!

[@platipuss777]

What is the Job Title for the guy raking the hay and whats his daily rate?

[@genghisbunny]

Man, I hope they've paid well, Tested have given them SO MUCH coverage! I'm enjoying it, I'm just hoping it's a fair pay for all the ads they're running. It's extremely smart marketing.

[@tested]

Adam really, really wanted to go to set and do this, so we actually reached out to THEM through Jason Reitman.

[@genghisbunny]

@@tested That's very cool - Adam's enthusiasm is infectious, that's for sure.

[@lastborn8s]

I’ll repeat this: I hope the marketing departments are paying attention because this is a “how to” on reaching me with integrated marketing. Nov. 19th the ticket will be “torn” … job well done!

[@Sumaleth]

Here's a random question: what times where you surprised by the reaction of Jamie or the Build Team to the results of a Mythbusters experiment? So; when were the results exactly as you had expected but opposite of what your team mates were thinking would happen?

[@MikeOrkid]

I really wish that the special effects for this movie were animated and blended like the original movies. There's such a raw feel to how things used to be vs today's CGI. "The scourge of Moldavia!" Basically what you're saying @6:45

[@yooper66]

I'm kind of interested if the sparse leafed trees around the house. Are they real, transplanted, groomed, or are they some part or more artificial? It seems that a live tree would not carry a constant look over time, like with the amount and color of the leaves. Also it seems that the trees would have been placed in those locations in relation to the shooting angles.

[@GAZArts]

this was a fascinating watch *subscribes*

[@tested]

Wow! Thanks for the sub!

[@luissantiago5163]

Hells yeah! Cheers

[@YodatheHobbit]

What great about the original marshmallow man being just a guy in a suit as opposed to being a composite puppet, is nowadays they can make CGI so realistic looking as far as textures the little guys just look like little guys in suits.

[@Samlowry27B-6]

I want to see Adam on a star wars set and a marvel set....Just all the sets.

[@tested]

THIS. YES.

[@cedarandsound]

I'm wondering if Alessandro knows what work Adam used to do on films

[@reezlaw]

100%. Adam is so well known there's no chance anyone in the field doesn't know about him

[@kazper765]

I'm just saying that Adam needs to have a major role in the next Ghostbusters movie.

[@gallimead]

I highly expect Adam to be in this film. But in costume, like he does at comic con. Let's see..

[@Nekotaku_TV]

Something so simple as trying to keep the look of the old visual effect does a lot, and the 2016 didn't even try doing that...

[@donc.s.8066]

The Haunted Mansion at Disneyland has better effects than the 2016 reboot.

[@GHILLIESARCADEANDMORE]

Cool

[@JoeyPeligro69]

Alessandro is so cool what

[@john_hawley]

When was this filmed lol?!

[@tested]

It was filmed in 2019.

[@cabbycabby1770]

Just left the theater! Did you ask the production why they hate GB2?

[@michael_double_a14]

Beautiful Rolex Daytona.

[@johngonzalez7750]

Wait did he say house and barn that didn't exist

[@xmxh9596]

Built it for the movie

[@Srearis1]

Yep, if you go back to some of the other videos they've posted about the movie they say they built that whole house and farm specifically for the movie.

[@tinkmarshino]

to short.. I could have listened to you guys talk for hours about this stuff..

[@MyLostToys]

The cgi in all films since conception sadly always looks weak and unrealistic in regards to the film grain environment.

[@DarthCobay]

It is rare to use puppets, but Lucasfilm for example hasn’t really ever stopped 😂 they still use stop motion as well!

[@reezlaw]

Where?

[@Fuuntag]

0:32 TLDR: capture all the data, answer all the questions.

[@diegoramos2701]

This is Ghostbusters After life be like 😏🪦👻🚫 this movie it's been 5 year ago

[@danielstickney2400]

People tend to forget that the original film's effects were intentionally a bit cheesy looking just for the fun of it.

[@skepticalbadger]

Er, no. They were the best they could do at the time and with the budget they had.

[@wiggledytoes]

All sequels should use the same visual effects as its predecessor, it would help terminator franchise, robocop and even possibly star wars. Labyrinth will be a flop

[@kevinlawson1746]

Wait ! , We can't start this movie. , Why? , We need the Adam , the Adam , yeah the legendary Adam Savage , quick to the Adam Signal, lol

[@BanazirGalpsi1968]

So they grab enough data from the set to crate matching whole scenes from scratch? Oi vei!

[@julianbeesley5059]

Man with rake, looking busy for the sake of looking busy 🙂

[@briandeschene8424]

Too many scenes from the movie included. Had to stop at 2:00 mark. In future please give heads-up for those of us who don’t want our original viewing to be ruined. Thanks for the other postings regarding this movie though - they’ve been great!

[@MikeFarnhamGalaxysEdgeGroup]

Same, I'll just read a film synopsis when it's out

[@Nekotaku_TV]

The hell?

[@davidhogue100]

It will be on some streaming services the day after the release, hell it might already be on there.

[@johnnytyrrell7060]

Can't wait for this to come out because the film they made a few year's ago with all women cast was one of the worst film's ever.
