Adam Savage's Ghostbusters Proton Pack Mod Gets Replicated!

Күн бұрын

When Adam built his custom Ghostbusters Proton Pack, he designed and scratch-built a unit to mount on straps to add some extra lights to the front of the pack. Imagine his surprise when he found that a fan had replicated this made-up "attenuator" device and added their own electronics controls! Adam purchased this replica and could not be more excited to compare it to his original build. Well done Shapeforge Props!

Adam is a true gentleman. As an infrequent member of the RPF, I have seen SO many people cry foul over the years when someone copied their work. It's the height of gatekeeping, especially when most of the time, their work is a copy of someone ELSE's work. Adam made a thing from scratch, and when someone liked it enough to make copies of it .... for profit .... I might add, did he cry foul? No, he celebrated it. That's what fandom should be about.

After watching your original video on adding the Attenuator to your Proton Pack, I knew that I wanted one on my scratch-built pack (made from Foamcore, Worbla and 3D printed parts). Scavenging parts from an old model train controller (got it for the control knob to go onto the pack), and old portable radio and a few other bits, I bent a frame from alluminum to house all the electronics. I also re-routed the main Power and Volume controls onto the device, so that I am able to switch the power on and adjust the volume from it (plus added some EL Wire to the pack, so there was a switch for that too). Even added a Voltage gauge to keep an eye on my battery life! I love how the Ghostbusters community is so open and will grab and run with any cool ideas that other fans think of!

@anthonyc9500 Жыл бұрын

Adam Savage is great! Like other commenters I appreciate how AS responds not angry about being copied, but celebrating it. If anyone else makes an actuator, (not a builder myself - so I'm just giving notes) I think this should make noise, a button that has a soft siren and alarm. I think it would be a fun add on. Also, this needs an instruction sheet which shows how the attenuator works in process of catching ghosts. Keep up the great videos AS!

It was a bit weak on plot. Not everyone enjoys a movie where the main characters are children. It did manage to deliver on a few emotional moments in the film and paid due respect to the source material, but as a film on its own, it was a bit lacking. It should be a very easy film to make but no director wants to "repeat" something already done. Even their own work. So, they try to make it "different" "new" "fresh" etc., otherwise they're just copying. A difficult balance to achieve. Make something that is as popular and successful as something that came before without copying what came before.

Both versions are pretty cool, but I honestly like Adam's bar graph display better as it harkens to the original "tech" of the franchise. I also like his "radio-active symbol" light cover a little better, as it has that lettering detail missing from the replica. All in all, a clever replica, and impressive how close to the original they got it.
