Adam visits our friends at Tippett Studio to check out two stop-motion mechanical puppets the team there created for The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett! Mark Dubeau and Sean Charlesworth walk Adam through the process of designing and fabricating the mobile loading gantry "scrap walkers" that are a more industrialized version of the AT-AT walkers Phil Tippett animated in The Empire Strikes Back as well as the spider-like B'omarr monk that was previously seen in Return of the Jedi!

Nice to see practical effects are still being used in the movie industry! There is nothing better when you see an object that looks like it was made by hand by some alien or human.

I just love any type of practical effects but stop-motion will never cease to completely blow me away because it just feels so magical. There's so much time and hard work put into both making and animating these art pieces and I'm always so thrilled whenever I see stop-motion being used for movies and shows. Also, I just love to see people nerding out about the things they're truly passionate about and I could watch these three men happily talking about this for hours.

So happy that this technique in film making still lives on. If anything, I think 3D printing might boost it. Like they said, kitbashing is available in 3D modeling as well with greebles and all. Happy for them and mr Phil, the old school geezer that thought he would be extinct in 1993. It's such a nice nod to him as well to keep this alive. Thanks for sharing!

@CworthDynamics Жыл бұрын

Mark painted walker silver, then red and wiped it off, then yellow and wiped off and then misting here and there. Then weathering. I made vinyl stencils for leg stripes and the Auberesh. The spider was originally black with real rust effect paint that we've seen Adam & Kayte use before. We loved that paint job but with the spider being backlit, all the detail disappeared. Mark redid the whole thing more towards silver.

19:19 acupuncture needles, (7.5 cm long) that get a small section of them annealed and twisted around to form a loop. Painted green to make them film happy and then you use those to anchor your model. As they are very long, if the anchoring is right, you can even allow something (within limits) to scale a vertical wall.

I just rewatched the episode where they collect Mayfield from the prison scrap yard planet. Sean is right, the walker cranes are so far in the background you see none of the detail. You actually see the crane from earlier in the season when Mando dunks the Razorcrest in the lake while trying to land, in far more detail. That has got to be frustrating to put so much effort into the details to never have them seen. I'd like to kitbash a couple AT-AT models and build my own version of this.

My jaded Brain always defaults to thinking everything is CGI these days, i should know better by now because this keeps happening to me, but it surprises me EVERY TIME when i learn something in Star Wars was actually physical effects. With all the talk of the Volume (Stagecraft) and the Unreal Engine logo in the credits, i just assume anything in the background that moves in Mando and BOBF is now CGI/Videogame/Photogrammetry stuff. Stop Motion? They still do that? That is freaking amazing. I think they need to make Star Wars look worse again, so my brain can compute what i'm looking at NOT being CGI.

It's a bit unfortunate that these 3d printed props will likely deteriorate faster than more sturdy props, leading to a paucity in such artifacts in the future. When the studio can demand quick turnaround on models, they'll to some extent consider the timeline to be less of a constraint that they must make affordance for, and they'll naturally shift toward finalizing these decisions on short notice and require 3d printed work.

Although the box is pretty worn out(just shows how much I watched the movies as I grew up. Then in 99 I saw Episode I. And I followed all of the Prequel Trilogy(which honestly is far better than the Sequel Trilogy). And the Clone Wars(2008) made the Prequel Trilogy far more better.

I think 3D printing is neat too but as that B'omarr monk showed it's not a bad thing to involve other methods of manufacturing like machined parts, sometimes I watch people 3D print plain rods & flat CNC style pieces and it just drives me crazy.🙄 Lol about the pistons, I think artists fell in love with that kind of detail but they should have swapped that with hydraulic lines more often instead for a similar but more logical mechanical layout.
