STARSHIP TROOPERS Alec Gillis Discusses Practical Effects BTS ADI

[@drneurotoxin]

Flawless work made to the big screen!

[@MrRotv]

That's why this bugs seem so freaking real...

[@ubahfly5409]

And THIS is why the film still holds up decades later !

[@rng81]

Awesome practical effects in this movie. It still looks great today on BD.

[@jdlr369]

Loved Starship troopers, great effects!

[@AaronGRandall]

Still one of my all-time favorite movies. Love this BTS. Thank you for sharing! 💙

[@Tippet76]

Just saw it in theaters in one of those throwback one day releases. Still looks awesome.

[@EjPwned]

Incredible!

[@jtktomb8598]

Thank you guys for making such a great and original alien species, still unbeaten today

[@dave5605]

Saw this film on New Year’s Day when it was released. We loved it and applauded it. An absolute classic.

[@christophermoonlightproduction]

A very informative and entertaining video. I had no idea that there were going to be larva in the film. Hope you guys get hired to do the remake. It would be cool to see the arachnids portrayed as described in the books. I'd also like to see "the skinnies."

[@mickeysylvan6173]

Amazing stuff. Love your work! Starship trooper is the greatest movie ever!

[@yodasscrotum]

Please do more video's like this, you have years worth of films to look back on!! I love to hear random stories and behind the scenes technical explanations.

[@naarahjanemorris3121]

Thanks Alec For Showing Us How You & your Crew made the bugs for Starship Troopers did you & your crew create the bugs in the 2nd film & 3rd Film in the Starship Troopers Franchise You & your Crew are Very Talented Guys & Women, Amazing Work I Think People need to know what it takes to make a Movie, Practical Creatures Win Every time, Over CGI Always 👍👍👍👍 Great Artists & Mechanics to bring these Bugs to Life on the Screen, you should of received the Oscar, the Truth about the film Titanic It, s Not Titanic at the bottom of the Ocean, It, s The Olympic.

[@FPdesignfab]

The first movie I remember paying to see over and over again as a teenager. Those mechanical bugs! So good. What an awesome filmmaking experience.

[@bjrnhalfhand2258]

"Uh oh. More people I don't recognize" :-)

[@bjrnhalfhand2258]

I love this movie. Your work on this was excellent.

[@LuxBellator92]

This is such a fascinating insight! Thank you for this, Alec. This has always been one of my all time favourite films.

[@decibelfilm]

Alec, some of my favourite DVD commentaries are yours and Tom's on the Alien and AvP movies, Informative, humorous and always entertaining, so it's really great to get more of that kind of long-form content from you. I do an impression of you, it mostly consists of using the words 'larval' and 'exoskeleton' repeatedly!

[@ArtMarchAnimation]

Yesssss! Yesss! Amazing! I love it! Thank you for everything you've all done!

[@TheRendar]

Amazing video ! Thank you soo much for putting this together and sharing it . One of my most favorite movies of all time . Amazing creature effects . Still holds up . Thank you studio ADI

[@dccinematicarts]

Thank you for sharing and the insight, Alec. Much appreciated!

[@xxTOTEMxx]

I wonder if having the Nerds talking with the porn crew at the food truck may have influenced in the design of the brain bug...........Love this film! Great work!!

[@realsupercopter]

Amazing work and amazing art !

[@localdude2979]

*Starship Troopers is that movie you dont want to watch in front of ur parents cause theres a 🔥 scene!*

[@Dane69]

Hello from Denmark - Thanks ADI for this video, we need more effects like this,, and not cgi

[@anthonycarlisle6184]

Gillis actually seems like a cool dude haha

[@bjrnhalfhand2258]

This was a great video. Really enjoy the longer vids with Alecs commentary.

[@johnsaravia4021]

I enjoy watching the behind the scenes more than the movie.

[@toxicpilgrim8205]

Fantastic Work! Love every moment of this movie. Sounds like a missed opportunity not connecting with that porno crew! Could have begun a new genre revolution.

[@Khannea]

Paul Verhoeven trolled the US like 50+ times in this movie. Roaring with laughter in the cinema.

[@UnboxingLuigi]

7:59 Tremors❤

[@abnormallylargemonkey9334]

If only they made the 2nd and 3rd better with this

[@jasonramirez6756]

7:59 I can see shriekers on the top of the container

[@tetsuoswrath]

@5:30 Almost like a Cobra Hiss tank.

[@Darkbender.]

genial!

[@tdogj2084]

Those drop ships aren't very aerodynamic and would mostly likely burn up upon entry but for the film sake there alot easier to build the drop ships and the container under neath reminds me of the skycrane !

[@Lumibear.]

I can’t see enough BTS videos of this movie, it’s SOOOO interesting seeing these beautifully crafted giant animatronic models, such a shame it’s becoming a lost art to CGI now, tho you can see why, way safer, cheaper and easier, tho IMO they really need to get more real world physics into CGI, cuz too often now it looks real but only if it doesn’t move much

[@NorthyToons]

drinking too much booze watching this, best way to spend a Friday night.

[@gizmo8453]

6:56 yes....lol. But still awesome looking nonetheless 😅👍

[@denifnaf5874]

People tought it was cg😂

[@chickendrawsdogs3343]

This is fcking disgusting... ...AWESOME!!

[@jayjay53313]

Hope Paul Verhoeven will direct sequel reboot the previous ST2

[@darshandutta7333]

Frankly i dont like CGI...if i were a filmmaker ill always go with practical effects...you guys should make tutorials on practical effects,make ups etc so that enthusiastic young minds like would learn and make something great out of it...thank you

[@Hokunin]

CGI these days is getting more and more refined and lifelike, you can do many things that are impossible with puppet dolls. Practical effects are dying if not already dead, cuz I believe sometimes they could be more costly than quickly rendered CGI, not to mention not eco friendly.

[@darshandutta7333]

@degree7 you are absolutely right mate..

[@temporarymomentary]

Looks like a giant ass :D
