The new blade runner remake used miniatures look it up on KZfaq it’s well impressive

Same here.

I totally agree 💯

remember watching this at the theatre and someone behind us said "I can't believe they let them blow up a bridge for a movie " . LOL . It was actually more convincing on the big screen as it looks more fake on the TV .

@@johnny0012 a lot of that was digitally replaced

What hard to believe is it occurred in 1994.

Terminator 2 (1991) opening scene is mostly made of miniatures and rear projection.

@@Joshua_N-A i was fooled by Terminator 2 documentary terminators walking casually in the background, crew, and actors in the scene, damn it was projection and it even worked well in the lower quality documentary video :D

@@mikcnmvedmsfonoteka the opening was the best thing to see. Camera techniques, angles, perspective you name it. Cameron made it like a real battlefield. It's always interesting for me to see the process of filmmaking with miniatures and scale models. A master filmmaker can make them look real. The Batmobile scene in Batman Begins also use miniatures and remote control scale models.

I never knew till now! Hehehe!

AND THAT PLANE LOOKED SO REAL

That's Cameron alright. Even I thought Terminator 2 opening scene where the flying Hunter-Killers were at 1:1 scale size. Never know they use miniatures and rear projection for that. It looks like a real battlefield.

They just don’t do that type of magic anymore. I wish James Cameron would just do another epic action film, bring back the BLOCKBUSTER!!!

Me to

You are absolutely right they have to use cg where its necessary but they use everywhere nowadays

CGI is far less expensive than practical effects, that's why CGI is so prevalent. There are only a small handful of directors that would ever get the budget to do large scale practical effects.

The CGI that works best is the CGI you think is practical... or better yet, you don't see a special effect at all. Practical is amazing, sure, but there are scenes done with CGI that I am completely shocked were special effects. Heck, I didn't even know that these scenes in true lies were miniature or even special. I have the DTheater (1080i) version too. (bluray version has not come out yet) Will these effects "hold up" on giant 8KTVs with modern high resolution film scans and knowledge of their existence? I kinda wish I hadn't watched this.

Cgi is so boring i can t keep watching it.

Absolutely!!

You wrote exactly what I was thinking, except you wrote it down 8 months ago and I just thought of it.

I just hope we get a Blu-ray release.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! More coming soon.

@@piercefilm Bravo ! Please let these craftsfolks talk as long as they want !!

U are right

and ironically, that film is also a james cameron film

@@h.cedric8157 do you think Avatar was an attempt to push CGI to its limits?

​@@Joshua_N-A Most if not all Cameron films are attempts at pushing cinematography effects in general

I totally dislike Avatar. It sucks compare to True Lies.

Personally miniatures still have their place today imo. For now Japan is the one that uses it extensively. For sci fi, spaceships doesn't have to be all CGI in every scene. It just need the right camera shots and angle also direction and lighting is essential. It shouldn't be too hard to do today.

Why? What makes one better than the other? You think CGI is not an art? Sorry but you are wrong.

@@Trainwheel_Time The result my friend. I don't know how you conclude that I said that CGI is not an art. The thing is, that nowadays only CGIs are used, and the practical effects that I think give a better result are almost gone. Of course, it is a matter of financial cost and the viewers, instead of demanding the best, agree with the producers who want a lower cost and bigger profits, but at a great cost for the quality of the art. Movies become video games. In my opinion you are wrong and the viewers are victims...

But it's also so expensive.

@@Dan-jg7zl Yes, it is. But if you want a masterpiece you have to sacrifice money. I'm sure they can cut something from their ultra expensive lifestyle. Nowadays they do it for the money and not for the art or the viewers...

9 people won't do it for their country

Because youths nowadays want something casual and catch their eyes. Gotta flow with the times, huh?

I have had actually heard that, they blew a real bridge, as movie trivia… I guess maybe it was just urban legend or assumption due to the real demolition happening. Kind of sad when the effects guys do so well nobody thinks it’s an effect, as they don’t get the recognition they deserve, but at least they can be satisfied the illusion fooled everyone!

If you watch all the segments you can hear about most of the movies they worked on.

All jokes aside, these guys do awesome work.

Yeah, happens all the time. These big time Hollywood directors have a lot of power and don’t forget that money talks.

but do make sure u pick up every piece of debris while leaving

Yep! Way too difficult and expensive to get clearance from hundreds of films for this doc. But you can find all the scenes somewhere on KZfaq. I tried to focus more on the model makers and their stories rather than the movies. Most studio DVD "making of´s" show more footage.

And no FX required.

Generates practical effects on me every time.

The material aren't that hard to find but you need to fnd those who can make them look realisitic and convincing. That's the issue right there. Practical effects is a fading art in film industry.

You can see pretty much all the final shots here on KZfaq.

It's mostly CGI nowadays, unfortunately. But some directors still use miniatures like, Wes Anderson, Tarantino, Chris Nolan and the Mandalorian TV series has some miniatures.

@@piercefilm I would say a mix of both works well. All CGI is a big NO for me......thanks

Even the new CGI Thunderbirds uses miniatures, they always look better,

Yes, but the bridge sequence miniature was done by Stetson Visual Services.

You can find the scene here on KZfaq. I don't work for the studios, and I don't want to pay high fees for licensing.

Yes.

I don't work for the studio. This doc is about the model makers and how they built things. You can easily find all the scenes here on KZfaq.

@@piercefilm I understand that. It’s a great post and I don’t want to be seen to be downing it. They should have included the resulting scene though.

@@garyhatherly3355, The Licencing for the movie shot would cost a fortune. Like He said he is focusing on the Model Makers and the models.

@@MJTAUTOMOTIVE like I said, I understand that. I would imagine though, as good as it is, there will be a margin of people that would be watching this, waiting for the actual scene. I’m just commenting.

JLC was effin HOT back then. Amazing form.

No, those two guys are just really big.

Jeff O 🤣🤣

If you can pay the thousands of dollars to the studios for the license fees, please do! This is about the model makers. I do not work for the studios, and am not doing advertising for the movies. You can find the link to the scene further down in this thread.

Oh dear, just listen and be quiet.

The film industry was never about the environment. It's always about money.

@@piercefilm but the hollyweird fools lecture us about it.

Dude, this was filmed nearly 30 years ago. And they did what they needed to do, nothing more. Give up the Hollywood bashing -- or at least do it elsewhere, please.
