PACIFIC RIM Behind The Scenes: The Helmets - Legacy Effects

[@Mystic2760]

All this could have easily been CG. They coulda gone Iron Man and made only the busts and CG the rest of the suits, but nope - They went above and beyond to make each prop and costume very real and very practical wherever possible and they damn well deserve awards for their dedication and skill.

[@SaurianStudios1207]

Uprising also does the same thing with the suits and conn pod. In fact, Uprising has plenty of practical effects

[@duyho3247]

@@SaurianStudios1207 But uprising still was a downgrade, albeit sharing similar practical effects.

[@alexalexander1749]

The first iron man also use a lot of practical effect, they actually build the suits.. but 20 movies after and the suit become more and more flexible, they just had to cg it

[@romesrepublic]

Tbis movie was beautiful.

[@SaurianStudios1207]

1:48 "i never heard anybody yell 'ACTION!' Louder than guillermo del toro" then del toro yells "ACTION!!!!" So loud LOL

[@bernatgarcia6348]

Guillermo Del Toro shouting ACTION is one of the best things in the world

[@ARCcommand]

The Chinese helmets look so boss, kind of like Samus' helmet!

[@nukka200]

+ARC command SO TRUE JUST REALIZED THAT!!!!!!!

[@glassimageproduction]

What if the Japanese Jaeger had Samus helmets as a homage??

[@lvbboi9]

Bruh I found a fanart of Samus and her suit as a Jaeger, it looks P E R F E C T

[@TheSonority]

These people are as much part of the driving force behind actual science then academic scientist. This is not simply amazing, it is truly inspirational.

[@Blablablarandomguy]

If a fool really thinks art is useless, try never watching a movie, playing a video game, or the big one - never listening to a piece of music ever again

[@shealupkes]

the Russians don't care about what looks awesome, they want something that works

[@kriss3401]

And it looks awesome

[@bruvlegion]

100th like 😎

[@Nammm37]

The gold and silver fluid on the helmets made me think so much about the Halo videogame series 0:56!

[@ARCcommand]

+Nam Tran It reminds me of an EVA helmet, it thought they looked like that when i first watched the movie xD

[@jrc3757]

+ARC command Yes, I think the same, I remember to say "hey it´s LCL!!"

[@Leonidas04052]

I thought it was lemonade and they had small straws inside their helmets.

[@johancakep]

Even the chinese one had a star on their helmet.. LOL It's been 5 days since I watch Pacific Rim, and I'm still excited about it..

[@daveevan5390]

johanazhari good old days huh? Not like the pacific 2 its sucks to the bone

[@manchmalpfosten8133]

"ACTION!" *water sprays into actors face*

[@justgamingjmq5080]

69 likes, nice

[@JAH1R]

i need an extended version of this videos i just can get enough, seriously this is some amazing work, all that detail and functionality perplex me

[@erinkarp]

same

[@Anonymous18531]

"AAAHK-SHAUN!" Ahahahahaha! del Toro is the best! He always seems so excited about what he's doing.

[@Relugus]

Daft Punk will be piloting the French Jaeger in the sequel lol. "Get Lucky" is one of the Fastest, Strongest, Hardest, and thus Better, Jaegers. :-D

[@Pablo-eb4wn]

Sad Oof

[@erenyeager532]

Well.. sadly they don't oOuch!😩

[@injectionAI]

RIP daft punk

[@HUNTER125X]

So yeah what was the gold fluid for? I think most fans are expecting that it helped create a neural bond through the liquid between the human and the robot. Love the effect great seeing this stuff on the movie.

[@MrAnt-sf2sk]

Man I can’t believe the amount of creativity they put into the helmets in the sequel!

[@mdk03]

I know right!

[@Hoo_Dini]

HAHA, yeah very very unique and different style helmets. They almost look identical to each other

[@gaspanic5279]

just by this, you can see how much effort and care and passion went into the first one compared to the shitty kids rim

[@veroxeon1858]

I so hope there's a Pacific Rim 3 and Del Toro directs it...

[@ersyadiaz]

Veroxeon IMO, Pacific Rim is already deader than my dreams. unless Del Toro went nuts and reboot the Uprising

[@veroxeon1858]

I fucking hope he goes nuts and reboots Pacific Rim Uprising makes Mako not die, have the original MC

[@kevinmamba420]

so... how and where can I place an order for a full suit and helmet?

[@redsauce9135]

Nowhere

[@jetlee2741]

Kevin Mamba I am by the man

[@jetlee2741]

Maan Elayda I am by the manI am by the man

[@MexlycanFilmico]

There are great directors, but Guillermo del Toro is just on another Level.

[@nvmskullworks4794]

Difference is he knows how he wants to tell the story and he actually thinks about every single aspect of it.

[@makingtolearn]

All of the practical effects done for this film were so beautiful- you guys really took it up a notch this time. Please tell me there will be an expanded "making of" segment when this film comes to DVD.

[@hearwho8438]

Coyote Tango has a sick helmet

[@JuanYAnita1]

yep

[@kriss3401]

I love how it's all actual practical effects!

[@Vinco]

from the wiki: "Relay Gel resides within the helmet of the Jaeger pilot and relays the impulses of the pilots to one another, allowing them to move in synchronicity."

[@experdivolution]

you guys are such an amazing team !

[@Churro_Flaminguez]

These guys at Legacy and their awesome designs and practical work, are worth at least ten to twenty mediocre CGI shops.

[@cytorakdemon]

Considering that Cherno Alpha was the Mark 1 Jaeger, it makes sense for their suits/helmet to be less conservative and have that retro/steampunk look.

[@royalwalnutbroth5664]

the fact that the tubes actually function as a centilator not just a touch to the overall design??????

[@gagushkebie]

This is amazing

[@RevengeOfMoctezuma]

These would make one hell of a Halloween costume!

[@xx_squirtle8621]

RevengeOfMoctezuma along with a big cardboard Jaeger

[@eesquared342]

All of this was than for a movie? Wow!

[@BoBnfishy]

not just a movie, a work of art.

[@ultragkart]

My favorite movie EVER!!!!!

[@ewca303]

man I love the helmets

[@DoVanQuan123]

Great idea.

[@Quintuplin12]

Absolutely bad ass. I think the helmets did have one element that made them a bit weak, though... they shook around sometimes when the actors turned their heads. All the coolest suit features looks cheap for that one second where the helmet is bouncing around. Really awesome otherwise, though.

[@koolaid5684]

Doing things like this is my dream job

[@korol112]

Were the Russian helmets inspired by AT Votoms? They look like some kind of cross between a scopedog's "face" and the goggles of the AT pilot itself.

[@하늘여름]

I like this steampunk style!

[@RhysClark97]

del torro knows the importance of people like you and im thankful, just compare your costume design to that of the costume design of the sequel and its like night and day, the sequel looks like kids costumes

[@speedstriker]

I've never heard anyone yell action louder than Del Torro either, and now I'll never hear anyone ever again.

[@predatoryautja569]

So Good

[@finnkiads7327]

How long did it make

[@themocaw]

It's Stacker's old helmet from his Coyote Tango days, I think.

[@WeaponOfMyDestructio]

Question are you guys ever gonna sell replicas of the helmets?

[@quillcd]

Does anyone know the name of the 3D modeling program they use in this video?

[@DigilusionStudios]

+quill chase-Daniel I believe that's Mudbox.

[@KillJoyAG]

+quill chase-Daniel They use Maya and Zbrush.

[@ElsaChristiana2997]

I like this one

[@buffaloSoldier519]

Sooo... What's the gold fluid for again?

[@sainkanzaki]

Question, is there anyway to see in the russian helmet? or you are "blind" when you use it? If you can see, how? I mean, cause the lenses do not align with the actor's eyes, do they? OMG yes do an extended version, this is awesome guys!

[@MegaBleedman]

what exactly is the purpose of those gold fluids? Does it have any purpose at all?

[@kojoydesu4107]

Evangelion cockpit filled with special fluid.this is a little reference to it

[@sebastianmendez1809]

Were can I buy one of these helmets

[@scaper8]

I'm thinking it might have been the one Pentecost had when he was piloting Coyote Tango, but I don't know for sure.

[@maayaa77]

great BHTS

[@user-fd9xu4kx2w]

0:28 mako's bare face ❤️

[@wengaiden]

[@jasferjasfer7084]

[@grandmasterslam859]

god those are awesome

[@MasteropHat42]

I don’t care how I WANT THOSE HELMETS

[@albertosaurschannel6946]

Pacific Rim: Maelstrom is coming out in summer of 2018.

[@shaddowbladegaming5655]

Alberto Arras yeah I know. There is also a 5th transformers movie coming out sometime in 2017

[@pp_Neon]

[@Nomadunlimited]

Epic Pacific Rim is a legend.What's coming on 2018 is Pacific garbage.

[@KonoAma]

I've been trying to find out also but, I think it might be the helmet for Coyote Tango pilots

[@SchützenGewehr]

Crimson typhoon Helmets are the best helmets

[@ridwangamer6364]

good

[@TheCoppoy]

Cool story, off season Keneth Branagh!

[@fridrihso7909]

0:13 Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo Helm from Daft Punk.

[@szpokiie]

hey legacy YOu must do the halo movie e.e

[@TheCoppoy]

On Rus helmet it reads Прочь ("Away"). Makes no sense)

[@littlespiderjunior6798]

Coyote tangos helmets remind me of something from Star Wars

[@CloneCoalition21]

Now I know why making movies often goes into the millions.

[@RashaKahn]

Someone once told me, a good way to tell if something was well made was to look at how they made the instruction manual. If they work at making that well made, that will reflect on the product. Thats what the original was quality, not the cheap Chinese knockoff which was uprising.

[@ZUL_RBR]

My man.. Del Toro My mann..

[@perezsounds]

so hard to get a 3d model D:

[@JoshSeeleX]

you get it?

[@JinKazama92]

How much are these guys paid?

[@Greggah]

Reference to the LCL in evangelion?

[@keitoku4922]

the best

[@ragtimest]

fucking awesome

[@Stevenson198]

The gipsy danger helmets from the side look like Guy Manuel’s helmet from daft punk

[@mapl3rocks]

Who's helmet is just to the right of him?

[@Yfr28]

Pentecost's, from Coyote Tango.

[@gelopugliatty389]

Why uprising why!

[@HaniBoyful]

[@FlexDixi]

Qipsy danger helmets look like starboist helmet from iron man 3

[@DrLynch2009]

O.O Subscribing...

[@silverback940]

AUS ftw

[@ultrajd]

the russian gear looks outdated. But thats not a bad thing do you guys sell thoses suits?

[@DavidLinkan]

There's a lot of stuff in the movie that are justified by nothing. The insect-like spine ? The gold fluid ? And so on. It just looks cool, and that's all. Don't try to understand, I think you're wasting your time. :)

[@ebthegt5572]

It must get really stuffy in these helmets and kind of sweaty

[@typ.vlasin510]

If you watched the video about the suits you could hear him saying everything the same word from word

[@saikujalloh3721]

I went to work for them??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[@Sasquatch_101]

Wtf? Why was the "Gold liquid" needed? So suffocate the actors?

[@halocrafter300]

SASQUATCH 101 I believe the liquid was in between two plates of glass. Also the answer is rule of cool.

[@cbxgameryt8659]

HEY DUDE CAN YOU CREATE A JAEGER IF A REAL KIJU COME IN AND KILL US??🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙋🙆🙆🙆🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
