Adam Savage Paints a Horror Prop at Wētā Workshop!

Adam joins Wētā Workshop Senior Painter Jules German in the shop's spray booth to paint and dress two prop pig carcasses for Wētā Workshop's horror film movie set! Adam learns to layer and drip paint on these latex sculpts to make them look gross, terrifying, and befitting the attention to detail that Wētā artists put into all their work.

Nice storing flammables out of the flammable cupboard!

[@whipplecreekracing]

PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT FOLKS! Now with that being said.......Mr. Adam Savage! I beleive I remember you guys trying to get a shotgun barrel to split like in the cartoons. I jus seen a man shoot into the water with his shotguns barrel jus under the water and the whole thing split jus like you guys were trying to duplicate. I hope you enjoy! kzbin.infosJfLyDFZCCU?feature=share

[@cleverusername9369]

When the gentleman asked if Adam had ever seen a bloated animal carcass I saw Adam have a visceral flashback to that time he and Jamie tried to clean the residue of decomposed pigs out of a Corvette. Also i love at the end how Adam just had to quote Marion's "You sure know how to show a girl a good time" line from Raiders.

[@Wiejeben]

Oh my I think I could smell that Corvette through my television, disgusting lol, definitely worth a rewatch

[@merylnbredican5254]

Mate that's exactly what I thought, was expecting Adam to mention it

[@docschro6847]

It takes a special mind to understand and be able to execute advice like "it needs to look like it smells rotten". Also being able to just add one bit of detail, the white on the rib bones, and make the entire this just pop all thatmuch more shows a true master level of crafting woth out overshadowing the other person's work.

[@thelemoneater]

Yea, sometimes you also need that fresh perspective to break up the repetition. I've had some incredible artists do paintover critiques on some of my work and within 5 minutes they'll completely elevate the piece. Just seeing how they've solved some of the problems I was wrecking my head against, through their experiences and a fresh eye on the project absolutely blew me away.

[@shaggycan]

15:30 I was literally yelling 'drybrush the bones!' then Sir Richard comes in and does it. Lol

[@Lokitty-vk6xj]

Adam, I know you probably won't see this, but I grew up seeing you on mythbusters and as a little girl, you inspired me to get into science. Now I am super into fandom and cosplay and to see that the person that I loved watching as a kid is also doing the same stuff as me is so inspiring and amazing and I just hope you realize how much you mean to people like me. Lots of Love ❤️

[@DanielGBenesScienceShows]

I’ve worked on many Halloween props over the years, and they are simply the perfect outlet and canvas for unbridled creativity. They will at the same time, both forgive and reward you for your happy little mistakes. WETA is Adam’s perfect canvas!

[@w00154807]

imagine walking into a room where Adam Fucking Savage is finishing up a prop paint job and just grabbing a brush and painting over part of it. There is a very short list of people who can do that

[@DanielGBenesScienceShows]

It's always a pleasure , really an honor, and inspiring to watch skilled craftsmen (people) work

[@alfiedc5224]

I don't normally comment on KZbin videos, but to watch Adam get so giddy and excited is nice to see! The final outcome of the carcasses is simply beautiful work. Keep up the great content Tested.😀

[@TheSunflowerGalaxy]

Awesome hands on Savage experience! Going to add Weta to my bucket list when I visit New Zealand!

[@DeanStalker]

Oooh, going to visit Weta Workshop Unleashed next week ! Good to know one of the carcasses was painted by Adam.

[@Games_and_Music]

Ah yeah, that is a nice detail indeed, look for the corpse with exposed ribs. .. for some reason, while typing that sentence, i got the image in my head of Clark Griswold looking for the perfect tree.

[@theshiftybloke4672]

Do see if you can identify or find the carcass :)

[@DeanStalker]

@@Games_and_Music Found it!

[@Games_and_Music]

@@DeanStalker Hah, nice! I don't have social media(s), but i'm sure you've tagged them on Twitter or something? I would think Adam would pick up on that.

[@akinoshimo]

awesome! fun to watch you two work.

[@joshusthegreat]

So much fun. Great line to end on.

[@DadBodDrumming]

i gotta say they looked really good at the end. Highlighting the ribs was a nice touch.

[@bigsarge2085]

What an awesome experience!

[@Unnamed3618]

Adam’s is exactly as Richard says. I swear I can smell that thing just looking at it. Putridly amazing

[@nathanhiggins860]

It's funny at the end when they put them on display, they had 3 there on the rack and before they picked up the 2 on the outside I thought "I really like the middle one" but that wasn't either of theirs.

[@CathalCots]

Great video! Seeubg Adam like a kid in a toyshop in Wētā Workshop is always contagous!

[@lacrossed55]

Adam, you know what might be fun? Do this type of project with you and another artist, same subject, same paint, same ask, but you do it ISOLATED from the other artist. I think it'd be a fun experiment to see the blind/ blind result

[@dionanderson8185]

Kiwi As 😂 well done Weta 🙌🏽

[@LadyPelikan]

I love that the CEO just can't keep away from helping (doing an excellent job, by the way!)

[@nathkrupa3463]

Nice Video thanks for sharing sir

[@MeredithHagan]

Just that you were there in 2020 before lockdown, it feels like a century ago.

[@BrandEver117]

Adam (or anybody!) needs to make a replica of The Subtle Knife from HBO's His Dark Materials. It's such a cool design, and no one seems to be making it!

[@steveclarke6257]

The smell of ammonia in flesh decay is truly awful, how do I know you ask........ Its is something that put me off eating for nearly 10 days, when I had an infection which got really bad. The colour of the puss was a dark yellow green shade, but it's the heavy ammonia in that smell you don't forget.

[@Gundumb_guy]

Gross

[@Puddingbat]

Funnily enough, liquid latex has 1% ammonia in to increase shelf life and control the ph of the solution. So yeah, working with that would have a similar but much reduced smell.

[@GHILLIESARCADEANDMORE]

So freaking cool

[@erichurst7897]

I paint Warhammer Chaos Space Marine miniatures, and Nurgle, the chaos god of disease and decay, is by far my favorite to paint. They are so disgusting, it's a lot of fun to paint them.

[@molekulaTV]

Adam! Make a replica of the little guy in Totall Recall! The one who lives in the tummy and said ''open your miiind''

[@Games_and_Music]

Haha, Adam was so eager to please Richard. Richard looks properly in control, the kind of boss that can be loose and tag along with the crew, but also hardline businessman, at least, from what i can tell from these videos. I'm sure it's a great experience to be involved in anything they do, and i like that their default style is kinda morbid, at least you know that you don't have to be too politically correct about your creations.

[@artiiist2058]

Straight up savage man

[@DavidM-um2uk]

6:57 I think I found my new ringtone!

[@jvidia]

Adam: "who needs gloves!!" :)

[@dutchlinde3574]

How does Adam find the most amazing people

[@helensarkisian7491]

That was disturbing. I suspect that’s the point. Mind you, it’s a pleasure to watch Adam have so much fun.

[@reduxmod9178]

I wonder if Adam had flashbacks of the rotting pig in the car ? That shit was gruesome. 😆

[@AStudyInAmber]

That's what I figured Adam was thinking of when he was asked if he'd ever seen rotting corpses on a farm. "Not exactly on a farm, but yeah..."

[@tommylitchfield3450]

Has Richard Taylor aged at all in the past 20 years? He looks pretty much the same as he did on the LotR behind the scenes documentaries.

[@afluffywhitekitty8589]

I love a grey haired man with bold hair. Cool dude.

[@LadyofFaewood]

Does anyone know the spelling of the sealant they mentioned at the start of the video? I couldn't quite catch it

[@daved2352]

You can always tell how much fun Adam is having by how dirty his hands are.

[@stephenledford3808]

Looks great, I thought there was too much dripping coming from the feet though, but still turned out awesome. One thing I find odd though about the display is shouldn't the sheep already be gutted considering it's a slaughter house?

[@mushieslushie]

Yeah I was like here comes the CEO to fuck it all up as usual.

[@HydraMods]

One of the things that I find most incredible about Richard Taylor is that he can just jump into any of these departments and share knowledge and tricks. I've really enjoyed watching this incredibly talented man ever since the special features from Lord of the Rings

[@ruffsnap]

Eh, to some degree, but I felt like him just waltzing in and pouring down a bunch of paint all over what Adam was doing was kinda... offputting lol. I think that overdid it a bit.

[@SayGahTaah]

Ngl thumbnail looks delicious

[@Rebar77_real]

Nice carcasses(carcassi?)!

[@The.Pickle]

I love Kiwis, people from New Zealand and the Māori. It is definitly the most staggeringly beautiful place I have ever seen and if there was ever a country I could move to it would New Zealand. There's something about small countries, the small populations where ideas travel around fast, that produces the best artists and thinkers.

[@NewMessage]

Looks like I picked the wrong vid to watch during lunch.

[@19TheChaosWarrior79]

The difference in preferred methods was interesting to watch. Adam switched to his comfort zone and ditched the spray gun early on and started with brushes and rags. Different process same results.

[@davidkelsey2864]

Maybe the only time you can be congratulated on a rotten job! Well Done. Loved it!

[@gordonhudspith1214]

I felt like Adam just valeted his car and the CEO of the car wash just throws a bucket of mud on your car again. "Good job but clean it like this now"

[@Gundumb_guy]

Oh thanks for dumping that cup on there Richard... real ground breaking technique!!😑

I do sometimes feel like Richard in these videos is that art teacher that comes in to 'fix' your painting - and promptly makes it worse. Huge respect for the guy, though.

[@colinstu]

what's with the audio? no lav mics? lot of noise reduction on camera mic?

[@Cuzzzo42]

I would find it very bothersome if I was painting something, and someone just comes into the room and starts changing/adding to the thing I was just working on.

[@acbenepe]

Sometimes less is more but usually, more is more.

[@brodyrichard263]

I found it slightly disrespectful though for the guy to get the brush and touch up the ribs on Adams pig

[@graememckay9972]

looked like Adam had a vision and look he was aiming for then boss came in, took over, ruined it, Adams heart wasn't in it and he just went along with it. Then he got his mojo back and finished on a high.

[@MOYAHORROR]

The audio has passed issues or something? Sounds rough

[@muttleyjones2]

I absolutely knew that the guy popping in and out, "Richard", would not be able to leave Adam's work, on the pig carcass, alone. I mean no disrespect whatsoever but I knew he couldn't resist adding the "finishing touches" so to speak, lol.

[@cleverusername9369]

Why did you put Richard's name in quotes? His name is Richard...

[@Games_and_Music]

What i thought was funny, is that after Richard left for the first time, you could also see the dripping going on on Jules' carcass. To me it felt like Richard was subtly nudging them into what he was expecting the carcasses to look(or smell) like, by adding to Adam's carcass without having to "correct" his employee. Adam looked really eager to please Richard, because it kinda looked like Adam took those hints as criticism of his work, and became almost manic in the process, haha. Like, when Richard put down the paint cup and picked up a rag, Adam quickly exchanged his cup for a rag as well while nodding and agreeing. But i'd probably be the same, it would be great to work there and keeping the boss happy is a big part of that.

[@mRhea]

microphone?

[@MachineMachineCo.]

leave it to an older English bloke with a big knot of dreads to teach you how to do horror paint. XD
