How Realistic Animatronics Are Made For Movies & TV | Movies Insider

[@nathanvalentine9244]

How does one get into these kind of job. The hands-on, tech-based, problem-solving stuff here is exactly what I want in a career

[@sedogaru]

Create a portfolio, move to LA, start doing the rounds. You're in for a disappointment though- notice 2 things from this video- all the examples are from nearly 20 years back, and all the current examples are "used by the computer animators for reference". The jobs just aren't there anymore. Not like they used to be.

@Jesus has given you all. Repent or die. The purpose of life is to worship Allaah. in islam we believe in jesus,but we believe that jesus was a prophet sent by Allaah

[@SuperSpeedMonkey]

I knew Mark back in high school. He was passionate about movie special effects from the very start. We all knew he was going to do some great things. Great job Mark!

[@skepticalbutopen4620]

I feel like people just end up in these kinds of specialized jobs by chance because they are so rare and niche.

[@CampingforCool41]

The expressions shown at 2:44 are so incredible, I would have thought they were cgi. I didn’t even know that level of facial control was possible.

[@captainsarcasm1567]

Honestly animatronics still make such cool props and can really bring monsters and characters to life. It's a shame we don't use them as much anymore, I think they'd work really well when they enhanced with the amazing CGI we have.

[@kenethgellah8801]

They do this just to bring fun into our lives.... Much respect Woah!! thanks for the likes guys

[@stanleysmith4563]

Dey also do it to make millions of dollars

[@zhye5588]

Might be fun to showcase ones skill and creativity in such ways aswell

[@ThemeParkBeast98]

And money into their pockets.

[@spectrum7821]

@@ThemeParkBeast98 hey. its still a win win. Make good movie = More people watch. More people watch = More Money

[@shutey709]

They do this to make them money lol they don’t care about bringing fun into ppl life’s lol they want that multi million dollar check to “bring fun” / better lifestyle into there lives lol

[@robotfan]

The hand and head expressions are amazing! Definitely would love to see this technology incorporated into real Androids!

[@SkyJamieson]

Why we already have humans?

[@robotfan]

@SkyJamieson in order to have real androids, lol

The amount of work put into making realistic animatronics really shows how beautifully complex biology is.

I LOVE him geeking out about the new tech. It's delightful, he's like a kid on Christmas morning

[@Nick_Lavigne]

The second I saw the hand i knew it was from Hansel and Gretel: Witch hunters. Such an under rated movie with great story centric effects

[@Cloveristic_]

Imagine adding those in prosthetics, obviously the size of a normal human arm

[@questieee]

Remember: Animatronics tend to get a little bit quirky at night

[@coneskid2]

No.

[@bismarkboi096]

I knew there would be a reference

we see u roblox boi

[@aniketmaity8901]

Animatronics never fail to impress me

[@schottschott6825]

The animatronic looks so much cooler and it takes a really good director to know how to use them spectacularly. The cgi doesn’t create tension and scariness. Looks more like a video game to me.

[@ANSWERTHECALLOFJESUSCHRIST]

Gah, great work: those things even without their skin on give me the creepies with their movement. They look alive for sure.

[@Step1234]

Gah

[@okamijubei]

Great to hear that those kind of arts isn't dead.

[@shiloc009]

Wow these folks are truly the magic makers!

[@4G12]

Cutting edge strain wave drives are more than strong enough to rival most biological muscles. Problem is, they can cost up to 30,000 USD per unit.

[@petermot645]

Definitely better than CGI. Great video !

[@monsoon1234567890]

It's a shame they cover up all those great practical effects with CGI

[@colincasey440]

these robots have their limits

[@gokulsm9290]

They are used for thr reference bro. If it existed in real life they would have took the real life reference. These models allows to get rhe reference of the lighting shadows and also a view point to the actors to get the perfect emotions.

[@alyssa01825]

i love practical effects

[@DavinderSingh-cr9ow]

Definitely better than CGI. Great video

Don't you hate it when these things just jumpscare you at 3am?

[@toughguyver6986]

No wonder the „CGI“ in Hellboy looked so real! Practical effects evolved into robotic science!

[@olsonspeed]

Mark Setarkian is the MASTER.

[@Badbirdie]

I can't imagine how awesome it would be to act alongside these things.

[@nikkimoon1533]

This is incredible! Why can't they use this tech to develop lifelike prosthetics for everyday use?

[@extrasalt5303]

To big to work in regular sized hand

[@theodorathanasiadis6629]

The have develope already

[@enigmaticcat7915]

I'd imagine they could, but just doing a basic search on robot arms, they seem to go for around 20,000 American dollars at the cheapest, so it'd most likely be far out of the budget for most patients.

[@theodorathanasiadis6629]

@@enigmaticcat7915 Yes there are so much expensive.

[@lordlem]

I'm definitely in love with robotics and IT stuff, and as much as love visual art, I'm so sad that such incredible, smooth moving animatronics, were CGI-ed af during post-production 😢😔

[@jyconx]

Animatronics can't do everything. That's why CGI is necessary.

[@dhruw9935]

Really it takes so much effort to do it all.

So much science and brain they put into making the movie

[@naiyahp]

I like that no one controls the robots I find that cool. 😎😎😎🙂🙂🙂

[@audreyholmes9751]

This got me into wanting to make my own cosplay with an animatronic face

[@urieaaron]

Why are servos still being controlled with joysticks instead of tiny input devices directly in a glove for instance or motion control from vision input from a human face and neck?

[@markviniello]

Depends on the final application. We use a variety of control systems.

[@man66iac]

That's much cooler than cgi

[@RenegadeRanga]

This was pretty eye opening.

[@dudehappy3278]

When talking about animatronic in real life,most of the people immediate thought is FNAF XD

[@GreasyFox]

Animatronics combined with computer graphic can create realistic effect rather than using one alone, case in point: Jurassic Park and Terminator 2. The tech used in animatronics is compatible with prosthetic design, just need a brain-to-device chip now.

[@rya7886]

My thoughts exactly but very complicated almost impossible. Especially for storing the amount of data it needs effectively. At least we can really appreciate biological programming :).

[@lokeshG19]

That guy in friends grew up feels good for him

Much better than the Godzilla movies. You could see the strings/wires holding up the creatures back then. 🦖🦕🐸👀

I hope films use more puppets and animatronics as the technology advances.

Mad respect for the ingenuity and effort. However, I can't give any credit when watching movies these days because I suspect all such effects are now simply computer graphics.
