Most movies that I buy,the first thing I check is the special features and what kind of behind the scenes they have. I really really wish more movies gave this type of look upon release. Not everybody wants to wait till the 20th year special anniversary of a movie to get that special look at how the movie was made. Keep these coming Adam,I watch everyone of them.

It just hit me that Adam is hearing and seeing these things before the movie was finished, and had to just keep it in this whole time.

Now this is a Movie BTS. This whole series is what I wish would come on a home release copy of the movie.

The ECTO 1A license plate makes me so happy.

The aged paint is amazing! It looks just like the old multi-layer lead paint I remember seeing on old houses and barns when I was growing up (back in the stone age). Kudos to the team!

I did not consider that you could laminate historic glass, but that makes so much sense, it breaks so easily

4:35 ecto 1A license plate in the barn. nice.

Eeeyyy its my boss! This was such a fun production to work on! Was excited to finally see the videos from the art department :D

Let me get this straight. They 3D modeled their terrain and analyzed the perfect spot to put their house, then BUILT that house FROM SCRATCH. Then they AGED the house to match their perfect barn, that they FOUND, PICKED UP, MOVED, AND REASSEMBLED?!! Hoooooooly bananas, this is A-1 movie making. Edit: And then they built and aged a duplicate house on a sound stage. We're not worthy.

Whether you like any movie or not, never forget the work and dedication of those were involved making it.

I saw the film , prior to watching Adams little documentaries. I now appreciate , so much more the care, and talent , and artistry and heart that went into this. Just amazing. I wish many more films of this nature today were filmed "analog " so to speak rather than entirely on a green screen set with no real heart. I'll bet if we went back to the tried and true old school ways, there would surely be MANY more LEGENDARY BLOCK BUSTERS made today , rather than just Good Movies.

The rock formations impressed me the most. I do that on small scale I can only imagine the work put into a project that big

Mad respect for the prop and set makers out there. These videoes make me want to be one.

the best part of all this is the practical sets and in-camera effects stuff - so awesome to see a studio still using this time-consuming yet superior low-tech film techniques

I didn't grow up with Ghostbusters, but the passion in these behind-the-scenes videos piqued my interest in the franchise. So I took a couple of days to watch the 3 movies for the first time... and WOW! That's why it's a cultural phenomenon that people are still obsessing about nearly 40 years later. It's the real deal. And I can tell it's something that's going to stick with me for a long time. It's also given me somewhat of a unique perspective on Afterlife. I didn't see the original films decades ago, in a different context, like many fans - I didn't spend the intervening years rewatching, pouring over details, and mentally immortalising everything about those movies - and I didn't go into the 3rd movie with the kinds of long-incubated expectations that I've had for other franchise reboots. I got to experience all 3 at the same time. And I have to say, Afterlife was the real deal. Spoilers below. Tonally, it's different. The originals were a bunch of comedians also taking things seriously, whereas Afterlife was a bunch of actors also being funny. This sounds like a recipe for disaster, but ended up being the perfect way to approach the movie. It felt like the original Ghostbusters weren't trying to be outdone, or have their schtick recreated, which gave their appearance in the film the space to dominate comedically - and without encroaching on the strengths of the new cast. Each the masters of their own domains. Meanwhile the self-aware underdeveloped nerdy humour from the kids helped keep the levity of the original films, without giving the actors more comedy than they could pull off. The balance was perfect. More importantly, having actors in the roles allowed the filmmakers to give serious weight to the emotional aspects of the story - which is where the real soul of Afterlife is. And good lord the movie has a lot of heart. Not only did this make for a phenomenal movie experience in its own right, the added emotional depth has made me retroactively appreciate the originals even more. I wasn't planning on rewatching 1 and 2, but after seeing Afterlife I just had to experience them again.

This is unbelievable. I am an old Mythbusters fan but just got turned onto this Adam Savage channel and I am OBSESSED. He's the best. Before this I watched him build end tables. END TABLES. I was riveted! Love you Adam!

Never thought about all the work that goes into a movie. Amazing movie

Would love to see you visit some stop motion, 3D and 2D animation studios too to tease and show BTS of their movies. For stop motion, maybe Ardman in the UK. Also, if you want to meet and observe truly independent low budget filmmakers making huge movements in DIY filmmaking technique and VFX and special effects, the stuff Ian Hubert and his friends does in Seattle for the insane cyberpunk web series Dynamo and Dynamo Dream! See you visit him would be a dream come true! Maybe you could even contribute to Dynamo with a single custom-built prop or piece of backdrop. He loves practical stuff but his expertise is in photoreal CG.

Amazing Movie!!!❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️
