INDIANA JONES TEMPLE OF DOOM miniature effects

[@StarCrusher.]

These effects still hold up so incredibly well.

[@robd1329]

30yrs later and NO idea it was all minuatures! Thats crazy good work!

[@Kurtiscott]

Atomizing the water droplets in order to scale up the “miniature” water is absolutely brilliant. And quite convincing to this day.

[@JackBurtonPCE1986]

I always love hearing about Temple of Doom's atomized water trick. So many other movies have scenes with otherwise decent model work handicapped by water that gives the game away.

[@simongarrettmusic]

totally - I'd never heard of that before

[@JackBurtonPCE1986]

​@@simongarrettmusic I think I first read about it in JW Rinzler's book, The Complete Making of Indiana Jones. It covers all the films, and it goes into a lot of the effects work like this. It's an awesome book, and it's usually pretty affordable these days.

[@CheapCheerful]

This is a historical record, as important as anything else. It belongs in a museum!

[@Ricoxemani]

I see what you did there

[@KaiserSaucy]

These videos give me so much joy. That’s all. Thank you 🙏

[@piercefilm]

Thank you for watching! Glad to hear you enjoy them.

[@alexandreolivier1923]

Such a great idea from Dennis MUREN ! I've ever noticed something curious about that water, but never put my finger on it still now !

[@spitfiremark1a768]

ILM were masters of their trade. I love the FX from TOD. They really fit the style of the movie. Using a Nikon still camera in the mine tinnel chase filming was a really inspired move. They were unable to get a VistaVision camera in there.

[@Giskard1000]

Interesting stuff. I love practical effects.

[@Lee-xn8by]

One of the most unique and (in my opinion) greatest movies ever made. I wish Spielberg appreciated more.

[@robd1329]

Woww...i always thought it was all real sets and a plane crashing! Thats how good it looked!

[@TheRealNormanBates]

You can tell a bit when the plane hits the mountain, but other than the explosion I would agree. I never knew it was only a model.

[@user-pc8tb7hg1lHandlesRDumb]

@@TheRealNormanBates yeah behind the mountain top always looked fake.

[@Heavy_Metal1982]

The minecar chase is everything I love about SFX

[@macallen2009]

I really admire how, in all of these interviews, the artists are so respectful of each other. Mr. Peterson seemed so professional when talking about the YAR production not knowing about the air cannons.

[@ct6852]

Those effects still look great. ILM really had some humble, dedicated artists. Finally played Vader Immortal and that was fantastically done by ILM as well. They've been the best of the best for a long time now.

[@kimconrad3008]

Respect !

[@luciusvorenus9445]

Such intriguing clips! Thank you!

[@houstonhelicoptertours1006]

fire and water; two things that simply need some scale to work properly

[@johnprudent3216]

Amazing! It sounds like this film was dropped in Muren, Peterson, and the ILM model department’s lap and they ended up being the l winner of the VFX Oscar in 1985. Against the likes of Ghostbusters and 2010 no less. Just goes to show, “no pressure, no diamond.”

[@Scottzilla1970]

Weird I just thinking this morning about the scene in The Last Crusade where the plane flies into the tunnel and wondered if I would see it here. Not that but pretty close though.

[@therichieboy]

I dont think even Weta atomized the water in The Two Towers.

[@nigelcarren]

On the special-edition making-of DVD, they said that the tunnel roof/walls were the age-old painted kitchen-foil on wire... the size of which was dictated solely by the size of the camera which the tunnel was built around! Amazing work. 🎥🏆

[@piercefilm]

Yeah, the foil was mainly for the stop motion tunnel shots. The tunnels that used actual water were built more sturdy.

[@user-pc8tb7hg1lHandlesRDumb]

is there an older example of using water like that?

[@davidevans3227]

amazing isn it..

[@Allan_aka_RocKITEman]

👍👍

[@michelebaratt8403]

this movie was an assault on the senses in terms of action , topped only by terminator 2-judgement day 7 years after.

[@JessicaChastainFan]

They're equal for different reasons. Both are without a doubt- SSS God tier action flicks.

[@ghostman5620]

be nice if we could see instant, moving examples of what this mr peterson it talking about.

[@piercefilm]

You can find the scene elsewhere here on KZbin. I don't want Lucasfilm forcing me to take this down due to copyright issues.

[@sanderfilmes902]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🎞🎥🇧🇷

[@murrynathan]

Not a joke. Over his shoulder is a KFC bucket painted grey with some kit bashing attached. That’s the genius of ILM!

[@murrynathan]

@@mem1701movies Yep. Learned it from a doc somewhere on YT.

[@murrynathan]

I think Temple of Doom would have made the perfect Tarzan movie, but not a great fit for Indy. Dr. Jones always works better when he’s globetrotting.
