Making of Judge Dredd - Mega City 1 Miniature Model Props

[@invenio1978]

Movie Magic was such a great show. Really one of my favorites from my childhood.

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

Those sets bring Mega City 1 to life!

[@philrabe910]

Well, it's twenty years on and I am happy to say physical model use is still here. A lot is done in a black box to be sure, but the art isn't gone quite yet.

[@JimsEquipmentShed]

A friend of mine worked on that movie as a model maker. I met him when they were using one of our buildings at GE in Pittsfield to work on some of the models. Tony Whalen, if you are out there, hope you are doing well.

[@johnprudent3216]

I remember Movie Magic. Loved that show back in the day and taped it when there was an episode subject that I wanted to see again. I also remember watching the in-depth BTS of the Stallone Judge Dredd. The stuff they did was pretty brilliant even for 2021 standards. There's a certain feeling of irony in seeing the prediction that guy at the end of the video made about more green screen virtual sets. I wonder what he would say now.

[@rouge06]

god tht guy at 5:07 is bang on with CGI every film has it now

[@agfagaevart]

No he wasn't, because some films still use miniature effects today...

[@jondrew55]

All that work and Rob Schneider shows up and craps all over the movie

[@agfagaevart]

Someone needs to do a "Harmy" style version without him in it!

[@reticulan5]

Sure beats CGI cities. Every movie now looks like Playstation 2

[@yakadoodledongywongy8718]

Best comment ever.

[@luisdidonna]

not, they're not. And be sure 99% of the time you didn't even realize it was CGI

[@marklola12]

Duh idiot besides it all looked crap due to bad green screen work

[@agfagaevart]

Stupid comment!

[@MRDRBUTTON]

[@ThePropKing]

[@stephenmcallister2169]

[@damiandamiano3651]

[@alexward42069]

[@tgchan]

[@99viniciusgabriel]

does anyone know the name this documentary?

[@bobrew461]

Movie Magic. 1995 5:03 How true...

[@99viniciusgabriel]

Thanks

[@luisdidonna]

Love physical models and maquettes, but CGI haters needs to get a life... Digital cities (Avengers, for one) are awesome.

[@SianaGearz]

I found Avengers CG quite meh, except for the Hulk, who was impressive, and still obviously fake. What gave most of it away is the very flat lighting and very tiny areas where action took place. Yes, there is such a thing as lighting for greenscreen. Could i myself do better, with whatever technology, old or new? NOPE. But, it was a very good movie. Well written, well acted, lots of fun. I don't mind. I don't mind cheap CG in Doctor Who even, which is really just there to bridge the plotholes. :P

[@Mzee1084]

Marvel CGI is mostly crap.

[@luisdidonna]

@@SianaGearz I believe there are tons of shots that are not noticeable and are cgi.

[@luisdidonna]

@@Mzee1084 Well... Sure, whathever.

[@SianaGearz]

@@luisdidonna Yes the CG overall blends in really well but if you know you're looking at CG, you will find it easily, most shots had a varying amount of CG in them, at the very least set extensions. What i meant is that it influenced the whole look of the movie negatively, because it was specifically shot the way it was to make compositing less risky. Like i said i don't actually mind conspicuous CG at all, i just have an issue with the look of the movie as a whole, and i do blame CG for it at least partially. It's one of those cases where everyone has presumably put up a state of the art effort but the result is still just ever so slightly underwhelming. But the film is also what, 8 years old at this point. There has been quite some improvement and course-correction in the later films. Remember what things were like 10 years before that, like uh, that famous Scorpion King scene :D

[@turnpiketumbler8938]

All that work put into a stinker

What was good then people are now tired of movies with CG over kill.

[@horaciosi]

Is just you :)

[@MasmydaMusy]

So much effort and work put into it and it looks like shit 😂

[@kcjfilms2946]

Physical is better

[@jamiecrottyEFC]

:D Haha

[@Kousaburo]

I like Judge Dredd, but Dredd 3D is waaay better with a story, cast and acting 1000X better.

[@jamiecrottyEFC]

Judge Dread is a ripoff of Judge Dredd

[@agfagaevart]

You mean Robocop?

[@Zombiesnyder13]

The 2012's Dredd did a lot better and it costed half of the budged of this one

[@bobrew461]

the newer version was full of clichés. at least stallone's film had tongue in cheek.

[@Zombiesnyder13]

bob rew Eat shit

[@bobrew461]

how well educated you sound. NOT. what a full vocabulary that you have - NOT. what a dirty foul smelling mouth that you have. OH YES! a tiny teeny brain that you have. YES AGAIN! for an idiot!

[@seventysix2545]

The first movie was not even accurate, as according to the canon. The 2012 movie was accurate to the story, and not ruined by the ego of actors, who could not even stick to the story.

[@Gambit771]

@@seventysix2545 The first film have us the mega city of Dredd's would and had the aesthetics that Dress 3d lacked but 3d is a much better film. I still watch the Stallone one for fun because it is fun.

[@aaronknight1430]

A few 1000feet but good model work for the time
