A similar story he has told on one of his own videos is how a universal greebly was used on a very small scale model of a city, but then a much larger version was made for other shots, and so there's a building with a giant universal greebly taking up almost all of a side of the building 😂

Not really, I meet him years ago when he was on myth busters. The biggest jerk money can buy. I worked at a university where he was an invited guest to judge and kids science fair. The way he treated the staff back sage was sickening. To top it off he must have been on stage for 2 minutes before running off and throwing a fit.

As a "young" 50 year old, it's how you think. If you're optimistic, forward looking, enjoy new things and exploring and open to change you'll appear younger. Many people lose that thinking as they age, weighed down by the now and still thinking about the future and possibilities. Think young and you'll stay young 😉

Go check out his Tested channel. If you don't mind a lack of visual examples, it's Adam just vividly relaying anecdote after anecdote, answering viewer questions, making stuff. It's pretty great! Also his livestreams during the first lockdown were a lifesaver. We got to watch Adam go through something all of us were going through. Right now the new livestreams are only for the KZbin patrons and the ypost segments on the channel publicly, but if you can catch them they're worth it.

[@goldcd]

Yes - but it's not just Adam. Oh and it's not just the special effects. I love the stunt-people as well. Penny just dropped with me that whilst "corridor crew" is/was notionally about the CGI that they could do - they now provide a great 'frame' to let experts in all the interesting areas talk about all the disciplines that it takes to put a film on a screen. Makes sense that they're focussing on the overlap with that they've done - but just realizing how many other topics there are (sound design, costumes, prosthetics, cinematography, production on a budget, handling a sequel, etc etc) Basically - we all know 'the good films' - but there must be thousands of great stories to be told about great things in all those bad films. I'm just thinking of all those bad films, that had great DVD extras.

That's what one would assume, but after watching the video i came to a different conclusion than you. Both seemed a bit starstruck, but wren seemed less energetic and more shy than his usual on screen self, while Sam was in his element and seemed to be enjoying it, even getting emotional and talking freely and confidently. Talking about memes or whatever the word for mouth shape is.. But Adam seemed to be into it also as a fellow nerd geek movie fan and fellow creator, since it fits in nicely with Adams experience and knowledge of real life puppetry and how real puppets mouth move. Great episode, one of the best yet. Wish Adam talked more about TMNT 2 the movie. That had some of the best puppets and suits and monsters. Or at least as I remembered it. They looked mean and threatening, even grotesque. Reminded me of like gremlins or some classic 80s horror movie in that vein.

There's something special about the amount of knowledge, insight and general excitement that Adam brings to these episodes

[@JaredPlotts]

It's great to see Jim Henson getting some well-deserved recognition here. You will never see puppeteering at that level again. Sure new tech makes that style obsolete, but the amount of people he had working as one organism is one of the most underrated visual achievements in the history of film and media. He was big into CGI too. The owl from 1986's Labyrinth being the first fully realized CGI 3D character model in movie history. Henson actually embraced new tech and was pushing CG boundaries before his sudden and seismic death in 1991.

[@notahotshot]

It's a criminally under-rated and misunderstood film that only a European (no offence intended, American friends!) could have done - hence Dutchman, Paul Verhoven. The slow-motion destruction of the orbiting space craft by bug plasma, like some grotesque dance, is quite astonishing to watch, let alone anything else, and the satire razor sharp. In a sense, you could almost compare Starship Troopers with The Fifth Element, which is completely daft, but visually stunning.

The most beautiful "scale" shot I ever saw was in the first star trek film. It's a shot where the Enterprise is doing a close flyby of the alien ship called "V'ger". Alone, this shot is great, but when you take it in the context of earlier shots in the film, it truly becomes amazing. Early in the film, you see the Enterprise in drydock and it's this huge, imposing beast of a ship, truly beautiful, especially with the little shuttles, work craft and guys in space suits buzzing around her. Keep that in mind. In the shot with V'ger later in the film, you see the entire frame is taken up by V'gers hull and there's this tiny speck which, if you look closely, you can make out as being the Enterprise! Oh, and the bit of V'ger you can see in the frame isn't the whole ship, it's just one tiny part of V'ger! The scale was truly immense. Heck, that film was such a beautifully shot thing. So many great shots.

Definitely between TMP and Blade Runner for me as having the best visual effects of all time

[@jonassantos4655]

breaking down practical effects is so interesting i love those, please bring more of the theme.

Adam needs to be a permanent part of the crew. Such good memories from him on mythbusters as a kid.

[@justinl7025]

I love it so much when Adam Savage is just having fun telling you these stories of all his adventures being an effects artist! It's somehow so wholesome! No wonder he came back

[@Quimninja1]

OMG I can’t believe you got Adam back again! He’s the most joyous enthusiastic thing on the internet and this needs to be made a regular occurrence! ❤️

[@Mistori604]

Think this was filmed on the same day as the previous episode, just released separately, hence the joke of Niko missing out

[@Quimninja1]

@@Mistori604 makes a lot more sense ☺️👍🏼

[@PaschanTOPs]

I am so glad to have found this video! Amazing!!!

[@wyldphenomena6574]

Just clicked in to make sure no one was taking bad about starship troopers. A true American classic that was ahead of its time.

[@Redbeard0044]

I absolutely love that you got Adam on as a guest - He's both a props and practical effects wizard AND a starstruck child in seeing other peoples work and contributions. Such a gem!

[@DarukaEon]

I'm so happy y'all touched up on the live action TMNT a bit. It's my childhood!

4:16 I've got them too. A few days ago, I was doing some work in the garden and when I turned my gloves inside-out to take them off, they were all yellow and sweaty

[@lucasszymanski114]

It's awesome to see these traditional filmmaking techniques. I hope we don't lose these and the knowledge passes on. Great video!

[@hughgo2]

I can't believe you're covering STARSHIP TROOPERS, such an iconic movie

[@Pooka-Dragon]

I remember when I first watched Little Shop of Horrors, I was so amazed of the puppetry of Audrey II. And I kept wondering of how they made the puppet to be and it still amazed me to this day.

[@AlkisGD]

One of my favorite episodes ever! Feels like I learned so much!!

[@hogoneal]

Had so much fun watching this. Thanks guys!

[@brodsta01land12]

Hearing Adam Savage’s laugh takes me back to my fondest memories as a child, watching him and Jamie Hyneman as the MythBusters doing the craziest, coolest stuff while teaching us more than school ever could. What a national treasure!

[@swordmonkey6635]

I love Adam's love and passion for his profession. His attention to detail on his own channel borders on OCD at times, but he's a true artist and engineer doing what he loves and getting paid for it.

[@abolaTHEillest]

YES Adam Savage!! Oh this was a great episode. His enthusiasm will always be cherished

[@noneed4me2n7]

Adam Savage, super Saiyan level nerd. Love hearing him explain just about anything as his enthusiasm is infectious.

[@Ottomat441]

Oh my god, THANK YOU for talking about Blade Runner. I've seen it 3 or 4 times during quarantine and every time I just think: This just looks way to good. The pure visuals are just among the best. And it's from the 80s. Just WOW.

[@Rezzanine]

Absolute masterpiece

[@micahpediford]

I love how excited he is to let them in on secrets. I’m like that with music. It’s fun. It’s like revealing a magicians tricks.

[@jacober8214]

So glad this was suggested because this was a great watch!!

[@0802alexander]

I'm amazed. Glad to see you again Adam

[@carlosnascimento9269]

Loved the focus on practical effects, especially with such a legendary guest. You guys rock.

[@codartist26]

I'm so happy you guys talked about "Little Shop"! I remember suggesting it a few months ago just because that puppeteering is sooo good!

[@reggiemstallify]

Best episode I’ve seen!! Keep up the good work.

[@JonathanSladkoTV]

Would love to see you guys break down some of the Agents of Shield VFX. Especially their Ghost Rider in season 4 was amazingly well done, tho I am no expert. The space stuff In season 5-7 was also phenomenal.
