Adam Savage Visits the Hollywood Costume Exhibition

[@VandrefalkTV]

Most of us will never be this passionate about anything in our lives- nothing we can fulfill anyways, and definitely not our jobs. This made me really happy to watch though, I wish I'd be able to see this exhibit!

[@oO_ox_O]

> _Most of us will never be this passionate about anything in our lives_ That's just sad. :( Now I value my obsessions.

[@VandrefalkTV]

o_O Oh don't get me wrong, I have several things that really make me enthused- but its either just hobbies or general interests, which as of now isn't anything I can do for a living or to the extent I'd like. Someday though, some day the hard work will pay off. :)

[@AgentJohnSteed]

It's wonderful to see this women come alive while talking to somebody who "gets" what she's done. Think about your job at work. When you run into somebody outside your office/place of business you feel a instant connection with them if they are in the same line of work. You have a deeper level of understanding of that person than somebody who doesn't. That connection makes you open up more, and can be more rewarding that someone who doesn't share that connection. What a great piece, thanks from bringing it to us.

[@thefaceofawsomeness491]

I could listen to her talk about costumes all day.

[@bobrew461]

she's enthusiastic about them. What's not to like??

[@CaribbeanLounger]

I agree, but man she gave me anxiety by what a 'close talker' she is -- you could see Adam trying to balance himself or establish his space a couple of times because she just gets closer and closer as she gets more excited.

[@katcoe1079]

maybe she just had stale coffee breath :P

[@Gwoodcam]

I love this woman! She has so much passion and I love hearing what she has to say about things!

[@gregatkenson5382]

It's inspiring to see someone so full of life and with so much passion for her work.

[@beareggers]

"Where do all these mannequins end up after this?" Translation: "Can I have one?"

[@paulvamos7319]

LOL, that's so totally Adam!

[@Trampadoo]

lol Adam and that lady are soulmates. They are both geeks and so passionate and excited about their profession they both can't function properly at times. XD

[@agfagaevart]

2:18

[@irimiriam2934]

Lol yeah theyre both so high strung and excited XD

[@guileniam]

Lol she's married to John landis

[@JD2jr.]

Wow, this was fantastic. Just a video of two people having a very interesting conversation. Not an interview or anything, just two people geeking out over something they love. Felt like only 10 minutes.

[@KBABZ]

It's funny because when Deborah was talking about her making the Indy costume for the DVD Behind the Scenes of Raiders, she comes off as rather annoying. But the truth is that there wasn't enough time for you to get to know her, which I feel is what this video does so well. You get to know her and discover her passion for costume design, and I'm all the better for it.

[@JohnnyTorontoEh]

Great video! Deborah's passion just makes it that much better. If she gave me a personal tour like that, I'd fly from Canada just to see it.

[@00soundwave00]

She is so passionate. Its a good thing to see someone so passionate about their work!

[@violacrb]

One geek geeking out to another geek. Beautiful!

[@terryforshee5203]

Just seeing this for the first time. I'm surprised how emotional I feel at this end of it. Wonderfully shot and edited to allow Deborah and Adam to tell their stories about costumes and designers.

[@dofgames]

This is amazing. I loved how casual this Tested video feels. Nothing feels canned, just walking through and discussing an amazing exhibit.

[@Zak_Meents]

Adam: "Harrison Ford is actually my size. Like 5'10"." Deborah: "...No. 6'2"..." Adam: "...oh...😔" Adam is so crushed by this. He obviously has some odd infatuation with Harrison Ford because he (proudly) mentions this same thing in another video (real Blade Runner pistol video). He says something like "Actually, Harrison and I are the EXACT SAME SIZE! Same jacket size, waist, hat, everything! Pretty neat!"

[@Zak_Meents]

+Wash_Your_Fruits In the Blade Runner pistol video he says "Actually, We are almost the exact same size. Jacket. Hat, etc". He says it when the guy shows him where they shaved a piece of the grip off to better fit Harrison Fords hand. Adam grips it and says the above quote. He mentions it in a few other videos as well.

[@gf4670]

Well Ford was never 6'2". In his prime he just cracked 6', and everyone in Hollywood embellishes a good 2 inches (at least). But these days Ford is definitely in the 5'10" range, and Adam had good reason to say that - they met at some event a few years ago and you can see in photos that they are definitely the same height.

[@TheTraakon]

Adam...You really need a series that just focus's on the stories behind the things that make movies happen. The "we get in the head of the......." and pick your behind the scenes designer/craftsman/artist d'jor . The insight into why things are chosen in each detail really adds a color to the image of what we know and takes it to a whole new level. Thanks Adam.

[@birdy369]

Had no idea this video was posted so many years ago and this comment is 6 years old but YES this needs to be done by SOMEONE on KZbin! I could never get enough behind the scenes/making of documentaries when i was a kid growing up. Those were and still are my favorite things to research and find out about after watching a movie that I love. There needs to be so much more documentation of the making of the movies (especially before it becomes all digital with CGI)

[@WiZeR911]

This Lady is awesome. So much love and enthusiasm for what she does.

[@WolfeeSenpaii]

Never actually thought about how much time and effort is used in costumes, and how it's a art form all on its own, New found appreciation for costume designers.

[@arrowed_sparrow1506]

I loved every second of this. It's so beautiful to watch and listen to someone who has dedicated their life to a craft. And after all these years, still talk about it like their just starting. Both of them are truly amazing people.

[@sammilaffin6725]

Deborah Nadoolman Landis' passion for costumes and attention to detail is just astounding. I could listen to her talk about her experiences all day. Excellent video, thank you for taking us along on the journey! Just fantastic.

[@Sketaun]

What a fascinating and passionate lady. I could listen to her talk about costumes for hours. Great video. Thanks Adam and Professor Landis.

[@ChrisLerouxDesign]

Truly a magical experience. Anyone complaining has never felt a passion to create. Ironically, a lot of people are being critical of her age or the background noise, but as she says, films aren't a visual-based medium, but a story-based medium. Likewise, what makes this video shine are the stories behind every costume, behind every scratch and tear - the story of passion. If you are focusing on her age or the way she talks, then you aren't paying close enough attention.

[@micahmorton]

Her passion and pure excitement for her chosen career alone makes this video worth watching. The cool facts make it even better.

[@gothikravn]

What a wonderful exhibition. I am particularly in love with how she describes the music being synced with pictures and where the inspiration came from. My dad worked at Disneyland, he and his friend Larry Estrin designed the click syncing for The Main Street Electrical Parade. So, in away my dad’s work helped inspire yours.

[@calburns302]

Her passion is so contagious! What an incredible woman!

[@CrashRabbitOne]

That was seriously one of the coolest tours and conversations I have ever seen. Goes straight to the top 5 of my All time favorite tested videos I watched it twice it was so good. Seeing her passion for the detail of the costume design in evidence here brought literal tears to my eyes. A national treasure. Thank you :-)

[@wwaxwork]

I found this fascinating, thank you for posting it. The ladies passion for what she does is so tangible which I love, but I also found it so interesting to hear just how much thought goes into setting something like this up & from how things are presented to what information is shared. As someone that loves museums on pretty much any subject, I never realized just how much care went into the presentations.

[@ThatGuyThatThumbs]

It is nice to see someone who is so passionate about what they do. So passionate about the little details, their contribution is so often overlooked.

[@thehorsesays3090]

I admire her passion for creativity. Its nice to see people share the love and labors.

[@FV4030]

That is a LOT of passion, wonderful to see.

[@bry_mac-tyred]

Thank you so much, this was extremely informative and thought provoking. Mrs. Nadoolman-Landis has exceptional stories. You can really hear the passion for the work, love, and thought put into costume design from both the curator and Mr. Savage. Thank you Mr Savage!

[@cmnieman1]

So incredibly AWESOME!!! This has now become one of the greatest showings and stories of old and great current Hollywood. Thank You for sharing it with us. I just wish I would have fallen on this video when the display was actually open. I would have been there in a heart beat to see some of those, and because of their obscurity, the likelihood of all those going on display again is probably slim to none. It's so sad how artifacts of some of the greatest stories ever told can end up in the corner of a garage completely forgotten about for decades and decades, if not longer.

[@vampirica89]

The exhibition is incredible and really appears fully alive and magical, but to me even more fascinating is this brilliant, captivating woman who is so passionate and inspiring and so dedicated to what she does! I would just hug her the way Adam did!

[@rud]

I love when people are passionate about what they do and they have stories to tell. To hear about all kinds of different things I had no knowledge of and learn about them are one of my favorite things. These days it is almost impossible to find on TV, but it's right here on KZbin.

[@jasperjanderson]

This was such a treat to watch. Thank you for giving such care and run time to this subject, and letting Deborah guide the video. How often do you get to hear the thought process behind something like this exhibit? Fantastic video.

[@anticswithmydogz]

I like this woman. She seems enthusiastic.

[@wernc.]

I love how passionate Deborah was. You can tell from the way she talks that she absolutely loves her job, and I for one actually enjoyed the video because of it.

[@RazmusStarscream]

Their passion moved me and they are so adorable together!

[@dawntreader2420]

I really wish this had gone on the road. Wow. Just incredible.

[@armalvior]

Oh, i would love to listen to her all day about costumes and their back stories in each movies.

[@GaretheDen]

I absolutely love whenever Deborah is included in special features/behind the scenes. I think the first time I remember seeing her was for the Indy box set. Her cadence and love for her medium make her fascinating to listen to.

[@sasanmottaghipour876]

What an amazing amount of passion for costumes from this Lady

[@JLOFlix]

This utterly FASCINATING!! I really love and respect the work of these exquisite artists!!

[@renumultiplus]

These passionate and knowledgeable people are the best to listen to. Really jealous actually since I, like a good amount of people, are so tried of their day to day. She is curating a museum that probably makes her smile every time she glances at a display.

[@Isengrali]

Maybe the best video yet on Tested guys! Passion all the way through! Adam please keep making video's like this one!

[@abarber517ify]

I have been lucky enough to see this exhibit not once but twice. It is truly one of the most awe-inspiring things I have ever seen, surely breathtaking to anyone with an interest in film.

[@xarvous]

Great exhibit - thanks for sharing this. I love it when Adam's friends in the industry show up on the channel, and Deborah was just full of interesting details about so many of these costumes.

[@philipdynes5548]

What an amazing tour, Deborah is just fabulous. Can't rate this video high enough, Thank you.

[@EinerDerAnderen]

How i love to see people on fire for their subject. Had goosebumps for nearly the whole video. Simply Great. Thanks.

[@Galactic_Factotum]

the costumes in films are one of my absolute favorite things about a movie. this was such a joy to watch!

[@hi_im_cj]

Wonderful to see someone so passionate talk about the things they are so passionate about. A fascinating video. Thanks, Adam and Tested!

[@hardwire666too]

Dude I just like seeing people geek out over stuff.

[@LeonardChurch33]

This was exceptional, I wish I could fly to LA right now and go see it. There was a palpable energy to the way she described each piece that was overwhelming, especially when she was talking about Dorthy's dress. I know we're only a month in but this was the coolest thing I've seen so far this year. I look forward to seeing more stuff like this from Tested in the future.

[@ryderov0]

What a fantastic video. I could listen to her talk about the exhibit all day. Thanks for doing this.

[@enticing_thorn]

It's so refreshing to see someone so passionate about their work.

[@redbougainvilia2544]

niiice love how the curator had took the behind the scene in depth process of visual presentation for the exhibit itself thus giving the audiences bits n pieces of how a particular costume or look for the movie is achieved.

[@matthewgrimsley4506]

You guys did a great job on this. The exhibit was great and Deborah Landis was inspiring to listen to. Adam asked all the right questions and was, as always, truly interested and engaged. Also, the cameraman (or woman) was excellent.

[@somewhere615]

I absolutely love this! I would never get to go out and see it myself. So thank you for putting this experience up! I've always wanted to work in the movie industry and love seeing the inspiration behind the films almost even more than the films themselves.

[@TheBentox]

Fantastic feature... her passion / desire to teach is amazing to observe and listen to!

[@buddymills8112]

This lady really loves her job. That's nice to see.

[@Idlehampster]

Adam and Deborah's nerdy passion for costumes invigorates me and calls me to listen to every story about those costumes.

[@benpendleton2010]

Thanks Adam I could never afford to go see this I appreciate you filming this for other people like me to enjoy the work of some of Hollywood’s greatest designers.

[@groovyhippie1165]

This was freakin' awesome!! So many beautiful pieces and I loved hearing the stories behind them. Thank you for sharing this, I'd love to see more! :)

[@sarulaplays6861]

That background music went so well with what she was saying in the beginning :) Love her passion

[@guitarz667]

I have leukemia and I'm very sick at the moment. This video made my night. Thank you.

[@superstormj]

+Jonathan Doss Hope you're feeling better.

[@guitarz667]

+superstormj I am actually at the moment. Thank you very much.

[@bgttgb100]

i hope you get well soon my friend!

[@chemicaldexter]

She is definitely a very good choice for curating this exhibit and Adam is priviliged to have gotten this tour. Thanks for sharing this experience

[@Jaxar20]

This is once of the best interviews I ever seen Adam do. Costumes and props are not my passion but wow do the two of you bring this alive. This video has made me happy and I wish I could go see the exhibition. Thank you Tested for posting this. Keep up the great work.

[@bt650]

I just loved how passionate Adam and Deborah were about the costumes throughout the whole video. It's so great seeing two people with so much enthusiasm for their art sharing their stories

[@Nater_Tater]

Wow she is very passionate about her work, so much that she easily transfers her excitement to her observer. That's the kind of professor that I can enjoy learning from.

[@LarryTam69]

Her story of how that dress was made truly brought a tear to my eye. I love the passion in this. Thank you Adam for sharing this.

[@zewise1]

I would never leave this place!! Fantastic!

[@kc9fjb]

I think I need this to be reshot as a hour+ long walk-through of the entire exhibit. I'd even buy it on DVD. Great stuff and the passion and excitement from Adam and Deborah is contagious!

[@dynamitecandyman]

she is so passionate, seeing her light up while speaking is very fun to watch.

[@CaptainDominic]

This piece was excellent. This should be a pain at traveling exhibit. Loved her body language when she started to talk about Tom selic. Proper swooning over him. The rest of the exhibit she was composed and animated to telling the story of the exhibit but for that brief moment.

[@CDRaff]

Absolutely beautiful. Such a stunning exhibit I might actually try and go with my wife on her trip to LA at the beginning of the month. Deborah Nadoolman Landis' passion for her work and the work of her colleagues radiates not only in the way she speaks about the show, but in the forethought, care, and devotion she put in.

[@DuckGoesQuack]

The way she talks about the costumes and the stories behind them, almost makes me jump on a plane, fly half-way around the world (from Denmark), to go watch this, just because of the love of the art that is on display ^^ But alas, I could never afford a trip like that

[@evanbraun30]

What an enriching experience to be able to see and understand the design of this amazing exhibit. Thank you for sharing.

[@greencupcakes1]

I'm captivated by this!!!!! I'm a costume designer and illustrator myself so this just makes me so so happy!!!! Devastated i didn't get to see this 😭😭😭😭😭

[@danaefotopoulou6855]

I wanted to be a costume designer since i was very little and seeing this made me cry so much. Thank you

[@nidomhnail2849]

Thanks Tested (and Adam) for sharing this. It must have been amazing to talk with the designer who gave birth to your favorite costume. I really hope that the exhibit goes on tour.

[@fastcarkenny]

Thank you for this video, which is art in and of itself. I appreciate you sharing the beautiful costumes, and also the emotions they create.

[@emmanuelortega3708]

I love the score in the background, everything they say has this.. Extra-ness to it. Every story they told was magnificent, and it was 100% the score

[@Marcolfx]

Its amazing to see someone passionate and with so much knowledge and experience about her "job". (in quotation marks, because I don't think she sees it as just a job).

[@SoneRevMy]

100 years worth of cinematic history. Love to see that exhibition

[@hvkv0000]

this was AMAZING! I love hearing people talking about things they love

[@drx630]

Deborah is a true gem, we need many more people like this in the world! Inspiring creators!

[@MizUltimate]

Please bring this to NYC!!! Even just 1/100 of it. It is too amazing for just the West Coast.

[@JoelEverettComposer]

This is super fascinating; I do some indie scoring so it's always interesting to see how different team members pull from the story to make items that support the overall narrative and the extreme attention to detail. Major props. (ha ha)

[@mynineridesshotgun]

Deborah and Adam's commentary was very interesting here giving these costumes second life. Nice work by Joey as well.

[@VexedFilms]

Geez you two, get a room. I was watching thinking "I hope they bring this exhibit to London." Then she said it had been and gone. Greeeeaaat

[@Trampadoo]

lol Those two understand each other. Experienced the same kind of heartbreak with the Lord of the Rings exhibition. :(

[@ZehoOriginality]

Simply fantastic. The characters really truly came to life. Thank you Adam and Deborah.

[@Brechtos]

Awesome exhibition!! And just love the excitement that drips of this video would love if this would travel the globe for people to enjoy.

[@dagwood64]

Very beautifully done! Thank you!

[@JmsNmnn]

This really made me realize how much a costume designer contributes to the movie. Really cool video and cool exhibition. Wish I could go

[@JACKPICON]

Love to see people that speak so pasionate about what they do for a living.

[@NZHipHop101]

I went & saw this at the Natural history museum, I spent an hour maybe longer, time sort stopped for me in this place. All of the details, the treads, the little touches, fascinated me. It was gorgeous. This (apart from some of the depth of field issues with the camera work) was the best thing I have seen in ages. I wanted to hear more stories, more trivia, more. I couldn't afford the book at the time. Which was a shame because I read the whole thing, which was also amazing. If you live anywhere near LA, & you can get to this show it was incredible in London. If I had to pick a favourite I probably spent the most time looking at Marilyn Monroe's dress near the end, plus the suits from oceans 11... Those costumes, as a young adult, Clooney & Pitts suits in that series were immaculate. To date some of my favourite suits. Bottom line, great interview, this really needs to be marketed, catalogued & sold because it was a winner.

[@StarCrusher.]

Anything with Adam is awesome

[@nicholasucci4176]

I love the entire Landis family. Thanks for this video, Adam.

[@bhmavrik]

It's really great to hear Deborah's passion. It's no wonder she's tops in her line of work!

[@CraigRig1]

Thank you for taking me through the exhibit. I would never get a chance to see it for real.
