Creating T-800 Model 'Terminator Genisys' Behind The Scenes

[@sikliztailbunch]

You can say what you want about the movies. But them being not the movies we wanted is clearly not the special FX team's fault. I admire their passion

[@georgehernandez2156]

Terminator 3 has some awesome action scenes

[@sikliztailbunch]

@@georgehernandez2156 Terminator 3 gave me following impression: The writers knew very well, that they couldn´t write a story as deep and epic as T:2, so they tried to amp up everything else. The firetruck scene felt very much like "let´s top the truck chase!". But every once in a while I throw in T:3 and enjoy it for what it is 🙂

[@AltimaNEO]

I feel like they all tried. The artists, the actors, etc. But the writers and producers, the people with the money, they always seem to screw it up.

[@aaardvaaark]

I loved T3 and Genisys, they're my favourite terminator movies (especially Genisys), but I'm a bit weird like that.

[@bibbyshibby]

This is why I appreciate special features and behind the scenes footage - it's like a movie in it's own and gives you such an appreciation for the work on the artistic side of things. I know a ton of people disliked the Hobbit movies for example (I personally enjoyed them) but seeing how much effort the crew put into sets, costumes and world building is astonishing.

[@JasonHauser125]

It is amazing in the movie industry how much hard work by brilliantly talented people is put into the special effects for movies that are largely panned and disliked.

[@cubertmiso]

Good ideas cannot be brute-force to exist. Easier to shove money and try to brute-force "quality". But it rarely works. 60% USD to advertise 10% USD to movie stars 0.001% USD to get masterful plot etc..

[@VTuber_Central]

are you a zoomer? because i knew it took alot of work, this is why modern movies suck eg new ghostbusters, there's even a youtube video of how they used multiple puppeteers for slimer, cgi wasn't great in those days so more love was put in it hence why the movies looks great, people in the old days cared, now its one button push cgi b.s

The 1984 scene was brilliantly done. It's the only part of Genisys worth watching.

[@dan_hitchman007]

If you compare it to the actual 1984 film, the CG starts to fall apart. The fight and CG animation looks rubbery.

[@Barbarianbrotha]

@@dan_hitchman007 I agree somewhat. For 2015 it's good. If they did it today the lighting and textures would be better making the skin look more realistic. One of the aspects I didn't like is when they pulled away and did the far shot of the Terminator running. They must have not used Mocap since it looks pretty bad. The replacement punks weren't very convincing either. Maybe I shouldn't have used the word "Brilliant", but rather well done. Since I went back and rewatched it and it definately didn't hit the same as it did back then.

[@lorenipsum93]

@@dan_hitchman007It's like there's no physical weight to anything. Looks fake.

[@macdaddymario]

[@OfficialOpinion]

Looking shitty and unrealistic is what really made it feel like 1984 again. They nailed that back then. Any scene with the machine that isn't actual Arnold just looks silly. It's nice that they managed to capture that again.

Oh! Lead Artist Greg Smith was using Softimage! It was a great program. We did many of our productions with it. In 2015, Autodesk eliminated this beautiful program that it had purchased a few years ago. It was certainly much more advanced in almost in every way than Maya. RIP Softimage.

[@thudtheace]

0:20 The inside of the T-800 skull is actually the inside half of the gearbox clamshell used on the Tamiya SRB series of RC racing buggies (the first came out in 1979), with the other half used on the other side of the skull. Even if this modern version does not use the original part, it was still modeled from that gearbox used in the Original T-800 from Terminator.

I know lots lf people are not gonna like tnis unpopular opinion, but I liked this movie a lot. Also Terminator 3.

[@vortexslayerf1729]

Dude, this movie in particular is a guilty pleasure of mine😂 I don’t hate to admit that I find it enjoyable. Cheesy? Yes, very much so. But I believe it adds charm to the movie and what it tries to do to tribute the older films as well as introduce new ideas to what could’ve been fresh and exciting. Maybe not as great as T2, but great in its own right, taking place in a different timeline and whatnot. I jokingly wonder if they could’ve maybe somehow connected this timeline with the main one in an epic battle of wits and hardcore action, but that idea already gives me a headache from how convoluted and messy that would be. I wish they would have continued and finished the trilogy, but I guess the box office determines otherwise😒

[@BertoLopez]

Despite the great work of the artists, it is impressive to see how different Arnold's body shape is compared to today's bodybuilding standards. He is bulky, but at the same time very aesthetic. It's not the horribly deformed bodies you often see in the sport today.

[@gfx2943]

Must be awesome working with this line of creative work these days with upgraded materials, better quality rubbers/polymers. I remember creators in the 80s and 90s were always struggling to keep the models intact as they worked on them, and then filmed them.

[@shannonoshea644]

The fx team and artists absolutely killed it with this movie I actually enjoyed parts of it how they went back to 1984 etc and when the T850 got polymemetic alloy and had some laughs but they could have done so much better but I found dark fate a joke really.. just watched cos it was sci fi and the effects etc

[@40calmusic]

To be honest, this movie is one of my favorite Terminator movies. My biggest complaint is the actors for Sarah Conor and Kyle Reese, but besides that, this movie is a lot of fun, and the plot and story is great.

[@gerv55]

They made an obvious blooper in the movie with this t-800, when it gets deactivated first after the .50 cal sniper shot you see it in the back of the truck and it's missing its nose as you see here, but when the t1000 reactivates it the nose is back in place.

[@GenisysPrime]

Even I noticed that.

[@bullyinc.4635]

the cg model is suppose to look like the dummy but they decide that he looks better with a nose on so they change it in the last minute, enough time to fix the cg but not enough to fix the physical prop

1:45 that new approved design for the T-800 endoskeleton would’ve been a good basis for the T-850 terminator endoskeleton from T3 Rise of the Machines, showing some design differences from the regular T-800 endoskeleton to the T-850

[@RobertSarlijaGaming]

i liked Genisys alot, its the best Terminator movie after T1 & T2 .

[@jollygoodfellow3957]

The only reason they changed the T-800 design is because of copyright and licensing agreements. They didn't have permission to use the old design.

[@jamesbarbour8400]

Really - did not know that. Who holds the rights to the original design - is it a film studio, or Stan Winston Studios ?

Nothing not c.g.i holds a candle to practical effects. It's what's missing in today's movies.

[@IdkMyDude]

100% agreed. That’s why I hardly ever watch movies that are released today. Nothing interesting about all the cgi.

[@jdm1hunter]

Only if you view something with little to no movement. Directors will always prefer practical for these reasons. But dozens of walking T800’s full scale is simply not possible with practicals, and stop motion miniatures doesn’t look great these days, hence why the practical version was simply there as a lighting reference for cg artists as an example. Even the outtro pointed to the need to join forces between practical and cg, there is no getting away from the desire of directors to do some extraordinary things in cg that can’t be done with practical/animatronics.

Right here is a perfect example of to each their own ( I am equally guilty of doing what I'm gonna say just want to throw that out ) why we should always try and say positive things about the things we love.....The last movie I've seen is 3 but the musical score and the themes are if not my favorite scores then it'ss cloose!! T2 I remeber the tech when coming out but other than that the tech, while I was aware of, never raised an eyebrow! Starting with 3 a new composer would write for each movie carrying on the themes while making it their own. Danny Elfman has a drastic take as opposed to Dark Fate w/JXL to my current favorite, Lorne Balfe w/ this one!!! "Sacrafice" is a composer firing on all cylanders!! Also the first piece of music I figured out as a kid and still today have made probably 10 plus of my own versions over the years.. So to me I say the music has evolved over the years , building on Fidel's beautiful choas ........the tech.....just something for the picture on the box
