I loved all of the videos on Ghostbusters Afterlife and helped me get ready and an early behind the scenes on the latest chapter

[@wolfe1970]

What a beautiful insight into costumes, you can see his passion and hes a very talented designer, Often costume and prop makers are overlooked in films and deserve just as much credit as the Actors/Directors

[@Dargonhuman]

That seems to be a recurring theme on this movie, and that's definitely one of the main reasons the movie was so good and popular. Jason did a fantastic job assembling a team with insane talent and deep passion for the franchise.

[@mypal1990]

It's an interesting perspective where clothes tell a story. And being a memorable franchise like Ghostbusters, the wardrobe department nailed it!

[@SargeMorris]

"We wanted to get it right." Well, Danny, when I saw Dr. Spengler's flight suit in the locker, yeah, I cried a little. You did get it right, and thank you for doing it right.

[@petermerz2704]

Just watched the movie the other night! You don’t think about the wardrobe while watching the movie, which is a testament to the creators that they fit in so well that they feel right.

[@Dargonhuman]

That's a great point - superfans would have immediately noticed any discrepancy but I haven't heard a single person even mention the wardrobe except to wonder how Phoebe fit into Egon's flight suit. Wardrobe is a bit like visual effects, when done right (as with this movie), the audience never notices.

[@cerealfreakonline]

I did think about the suits when they were shown, I honestly wondered if they had the original ones, or if they had recreated them. I'm actually a little gutted to find out they weren't the original ones hanging up. I didn't expect them to wear the originals but, thought they might have used them for the hanging scene. As for the movie, honestly don't think I've ever a case better sequel. It really is amazingly well done, all the in jokes and callbacks were amazing, even his return wasn't too corny.

[@bladerj]

i dont want to look like a snub nose, but it was very obvious......the mom dressed like she was putting her kids clothing before hers. they heavy handed placed shots so you could read the kid tshirt and get that he likes cars.

[@TFults]

Gotta love how excited Adam gets for the details!

[@kdkseven]

Sometimes it's a bit much.

[@MrGittz]

@@kdkseven haha yeah here you can see he’s trying to feint interest in the non GB suit stuff. But that’s just polite honestly.

[@80TheMadLord08]

really? I kind of can't stand it...

[@UstinkOfFea3]

I’m not going to lie.. I got a little choked up at the end with seeing Egon and how real he would’ve looked as his older self.. little emotional 🤓

[@MartyMcFly88]

Me too

[@990426]

14:50 "I'm creating the physical environment for a really talented actor, to then feel safe enough and empowered enough to go to the physical world, and have an experience another person would have. " That's the way to go, Danny.

[@ambsquared]

A previous career I spent in commercial embroidery. Seeing the patch was interesting. I can see pretty much how it would sew. It is different from a normal patch. Those are usually sewn onto a fairly stiff material that may have the iron on adhesive in it. Patches usually are then finished a serger that cuts it out and gives that smooth edge to the piece. Those patches were just cut out of the base fabric and the threads from it frayed. It has been over 20 years since I worked in the industry, but when I see those things, it takes me back to days spent taking customer’s arts and ideas and turning them into stitch files for the machines. I used to say on a good day, I was a kid with crayons being laid to color. A bad day was hand lettering text, not nearly as fun as a challenging graphic design like a NASA mission patch. I was fortunate to do one for a Space Shuttle mission in the 90s.

[@arcticbanana66]

"Unlike a superhero suit, which you look at and you think is untouchable, I think when you see a Ghostbusters suit you see a suit that is, it's very, it's very tactile... [A Ghostbuster's suit] looks human scale, it doesn't look otherworldly." If you, an ordinary human being, put on Superman's or Batman's costume, you wouldn't _be_ Superman or Batman, you're just a person wearing their costume. But if you put on a Ghostbusters outfit, you could _actually be_ a Ghostbuster.

[@djmarsone5209]

Amén.✌️😔

[@StSparky]

So happy to have been the late Michael C. Gross’ friend. He designed the “No Ghosts” logo. Folks talking about matching fabric with that much passion is exciting.

[@davidkrepps3747]

I love that he got this intimate with the uniforms!

[@djmarsone5209]

😏😌🙄😅

[@codyt821]

That costume designer gets it. He has to be a fan, you can see him even holding back emotion at moments talking about Spengler. I would bet money he loves the franchise just as much as most of us watching this do.

[@thearthound]

The care, attention, and genuine love put into the overall process is amazing. It truly warms my heart that so much is invested in not only the clothes themselves, but the time & effort to connect the characters to each item. Thanks Adam!

[@rupertmiller9690]

That was pretty dang awesome to watch. Two passionate dudes talking about stuff they love. Enjoyable, educational and even a bit adorable.

[@TheParanormalSide]

I love the backstory of the smaller details of the movie. I have aways loved the suits, even the black winter ones from part 2. They played the part working with the public, being a service worker. Just bursting Ghost. Great Job Adam and The Ghosthunters Crew.

[@laughingghoststudios9988]

Adam asks the best questions! Like everything I want to know he asks.

[@edwardfletcher7790]

Adam geeking out is always so wholesome to watch 👍😆 "What would happen if the ectoplasm didn't get washed off ?" lol

[@plandscapesoh9702]

Watch the citizen ghost episode of the real ghostbusters.

[@MrDominic152]

I just love level of detail these geniuses put into the costumes.

[@UtterNonsenseBuilds]

Being 45 I grew up on Ghostbusters. I absolutely LOVED this movie.

[@Dargonhuman]

I honestly appreciate these videos that shine a much deserved spotlight on the parts of movie making that are so often overlooked or ignored but are absolutely vital to the process. The set and costume designers are just as talented and integral to telling the story as the visual effects artists, actors and editors, and they clearly have just as much passion and care for the movie. Thank you so much for giving them a chance to show off their craft.

[@GaryGraham66]

They say "the devil is in the details", these guys nail it every time, and yet such a little credit at the end of the movie that not many people see.👍👍

[@metvelle]

I love how excited adam gets when he sees something he likes, or details, or how he truly fangirls over some things like the NASA episode the other day, and he's not ashamed to do it

[@richbaker8211]

Ghsotbusters: Afterlife is such an incredible love letter to the original films, while also not being so overtly fan service that it takes away from the story. They struck an absolutely amazing blend and I have never felt so happy to watch a sequel! Thank you to every person who worked on it, your passion and love have made this child of the 80s very happy!

[@turtlesquad88]

I love the backstory stuff, I can watch stuff like this all day!!

[@Trains-With-Shane]

I love how he lays out not only the technical aspects of some of the costumes in regards to what it takes to make this thing look this way but also how he decides what the customer should be wearing. What is the story of this person and why they would wear this t-shirt, etc. There is a person who has a true obsessive love with what he does. And it definitely shows in the finished results. The CGI team probably gets a bunch of the credit for the ghosts and special effects but this guy's team puts the real soul into the film.

[@glyph2011]

What an absolutely amazing insight into part of the moviemaking process I hadn’t even thought that much about. Thanks for making this. 👍

[@Merennulli]

A lot of people do love the work they get to do, but it's really rare to see someone who loves their work as much as he clearly did on this film.

[@KapteinFruit]

I would give this ten thumbs up. This dude is obviously very invested and loves what his job is. :) Makes me happy.

[@apocryph0n]

Oh my gosh!!! Man, now I want to see the costume work that went into Gozer and the more otherworldly costumes like the gold dress!!

[@kelvpoon]

Love how much attention is put in things I didn’t even realise watching the movie.

[@dorkultra]

Everyone working on this movie is top of their game and very much geeking out with all the incredible detail. it's really cool to see how much effort was put into this

[@kharvey00]

What an incredible talent, Danny Glicker!! Adam’s not too shabby either 😁

[@gregmcmahon957]

Thank you Adam Savage's . I really love seeing the Ghostbusters: Afterlife Costume Department.

[@americo01able]

Man the amount of work that goes into a movie is just amazing!!!

[@reysokas]

This came at just the right time!! I've been doing research for my Phoebe cosplay today!

[@NekoFallen]

Another incredible look behind the scenes! Love all the little details you otherwise would not have noticed or considered while watching the film. Also, now that the secret to the patches are out, everyone will be looking for that fabric, or trying to replicate it!!

[@patrickstewart3446]

Despite his age and everything he has accomplished, deep down Adam is still a 10 year-old fanboy. 😁

[@artursmihelsons415]

Nice to see movie backstage and hear stories behind costumes! Amazing job! Great video and interview!

[@paulstan9828]

I had no idea that much work was involved in the costume department. I have a totally new respect for them.

[@peterkelley6344]

Just when I thought there was nothing more to consider for this movie ... Adam brings the world of the wardrobe to the front of the stage! WOW. It was a fun dive into the world of movie production. I noticed in another Adam Short about GBs that the franchise has already been passed on to another production company. I would hope that the next team will pay as much attention to GBv has they have with GBiv.

[@joshborland]

Who's the other Production Company? I was hoping that Jason Reitman & Gil Kennan were gonna' give us at least one more GB movie...

[@crystalsjunkpile9533]

@@joshborland They signed a deal, but jason mentioned he wanted others to write GB

[@peterkelley6344]

[@CeriGoff]

Inspiring work is right. Fantastic details and they paid off big time.

[@crankyknuckles1849]

Very cool!:) I remember reading about how costumes in the movie Se7en were used to give Brad Pitt the more sharp, more fancy look, while Morgan Freeman would have a more classical detective kind of attire. Even their apartments would reflect upon the difference in years and also on their personality. A lot of small details add up to great movies.

[@djmarsone5209]

Amén.👍

[@JayGeeWhyWhy]

The film might be called 'Ghostbusters: Afterlife' but what the entire film really told us was 'Ghostbusters For Life' and this was only the case because of the combined effort put in by these hardworking professionals in the entire production team on set.

[@overip]

Seeing how both of them are excited about the suit makes me smile 😊

[@djmarsone5209]

[@billybobfudpucker5817]

The tiny attentions that you don't notice but subconsciously see that make a movie you love real.

[@paulstan9828]

It was a really good movie. So cool to get to see a little of behind the scenes. When I saw the brown rip stop material the coveralls were made out of I was surprised. It’s the perfect type combat material it was a perfect choice.

[@jaratt85]

If you go with Dan Aykroyd's writing logic you could say that Egon's spirit shrinks his suit to fit her a bit better.. because Dan always wanted ECTO 1 to have it's own "soul" and powers just like the Blue Mobile in Blues Brothers was supposed to have special powers from being left in the power room outside of his apartment all the time.. and so that's how it did all the insane things it did but they cut that explanation out of the final movie and even the Director's Cut version.

[@moshezuchter]

Awesome. Great to see such passion! Thank you :)

[@captaintoyota3171]

I NOTICED the car shirts showing he knew how 2 work on cars. So cool

[@michaelmatthews6014]

I feel like it's a little glimpse into Adam's psychology/lifestyle that he was briefly puzzled by how you could make a piece of clothing look old without staining it. 😆

[@kyleguajardo]

They don't call physical work "Getting your hands dirty" for nothing. But it really is amazing how much detail you begin to notice as clothing weathers.

[@kotkaconforza]

I was very happily surprised by Afterlife. It was a bit heavy handed spoon feeding the member berries, at times. But as a whole I think it walked the fine line well, between nostalgia fan service and embedding the lore into a new setting and cast of characters. Movie like this hardly ever can satisfy everyone, but it felt like it was done with pure and best intentions.

[@Ottophil]

I refuse to see it. The franchise is dead as a ghost. They need to stop trying to catch it

Not sure why, maybe it's because my mom made my Halloween costumes. Or my grandma sewed or my mother-in-law made my wife's wedding dress. There is something tear in the eye wholesome? comforting? About the loving effort and detail here. Imagine if we all put as much care in what we do ...what a better world this would be. Obviously some amazing talent here but detail is effort.

While I haven't had a chance to watch the whole movie yet having just seen some clips due to being too busy otherwise, I'd honestly, really like to see a few more movies using the "Afterlife" cast. Maybe for the next one just one or two of the "classic" old guard cast taking a more backseat approach and guiding the new team with a nudge here or there. Get those kids some more screen time and a chance to build their own audience.

[@nomisukeindustries]

I've always had the idea of creating "lived in" clothing by retrofitting a washing machine that never stops agitating. I wonder if that's an idea that could be used for cinema as opposed to spending so much time doing it by hand? I mean, the creative aspect is irreplaceable when it is given individual attention by a wardrobe specialist, but what about bulk outfits for say a small militia or school uniforms? I wonder what would happen if you threw a brand new mechanic jumpsuit into a washer with half an entire box of dishwasher detergent and let it agitate for 7 days straight?

[@MARKLOCKWOOD2012]

Just watched it omg so worth the wait being that I have bronchitis laughing not a good idea. I was up between cat naps hit the nail on the head. The dogs especially the scene of where one has its head buried in a fifty pound bag of dog food. The scene of where Spengler granddaughter began interacting with her grandfather then eventually down into the workshop. Eventually seeing at end of the movie where he comes to her aide and original cast become whole. Any hew five stars yes the magical book stacking from the original no the library at the time was under renovation so they filmed from the outside used a different library 📚 [easter egg]

I stole the line "Dropping off or Picking up" from the first movie when I worked at the Medical Examiner's' Office.

[@ZachsMind]

The instant Annie Potts appears in the movie it's not Annie Potts. It's Janine. A lot of that is simply how Annie Potts walks into the room and reacts to the Mom. There's a twinge of mystery going on. We don't get her story but we see there has been one. Several in fact and while much of that is the actress' doing, what she's wearing was so Janine. It felt like seeing an old friend for the first time since college and tho she's changed she's still the same. I want another film where Janine and Zeddemore work to bring Ghostbusters into the 21st century and I want Danny Glicker dressing them, cuz he got every clothing choice right from start to finish on Afterlife.
