I could not agree with you more. I was thrilled to hear these stories. Adam should do a build of one of those amazing power supplies. I've never seen anything like it!
It is so enjoyable to watch two experts geek out in their own field. So much knowledge in these two, and the almost childlike glee in discussing their adventures. We should all be so lucky to find our calling so perfectly.
Historically these videos done by Adam & his team is a testament of the What these "builders" have done & to be able to share their legacy with us to hear... Thank you Tested & Adam.
@@testedI think I speak for everyone when I say: *please* try and reach out to even more of them, to get their history and interesting stories on film, so that the legacy can't be forgotten! 🥺 🙏
@@tested I feel honored you even replied to me, can you tell Adam 15 years ago for a school project I did a presentation on how adam was the most inspirational TV personality to me haha. He's the reason I love to create!
This is one of the videos when it ends you yearn for just one more story. There is a shop in my home town that has a constantly evolving subset of old timers telling stories long and short like an evolving play. I love going by and just being a fly on the wall. This felt just like traveling home to that feeling. Bless you for capturing these.
That last statement is so true and the only thing that is a benefit for my job of being in an office. People knew that if they’d drop a question that me as the external consultant would most likely either have a fitting solution or I would think about it 😂 The last day on my previous project, my colleague said: “when I deploy to acceptance the database goes back to S0. Something I need to look into.” And he knew that I had build that deployment pipeline and I immediately said: “well that’s the default speed that we said. The deployment sets that.” And I immediately showed him where it was. And he said: “I’ve been frustrated by that for 2.5 months” and I asked why he didn’t ask me? he said: “because everybody asks everything and knowing you were leaving in December I think it’s time for us to do it on our own”. 😊And they are doing well in gone now for two months and they are running fine.
I love listening to stories like this! The behind the scenes and thought process of solving these problems make for fascinating stories. Keep them coming!
It's a really valuable thing to interview the elders in our lives, there's so many stories that matter so much, to our lives and others. It's recording history! And Adam already is a big champion of storytelling. This is a wonderful outlet of that impulse :)
I don't know why, but this reminded me of being a kid and hearing my dad talk about his life stories. I don't get those stories as much anymore, this video hit me in a way I cannot explain. Thank you both for this.
That building and crew are the breeding ground of an era of movie magic. The stories about the place and the people have to be endless. Thanks for sharing even a small bit. Extremely inspiring stuff!
Thank you oh so much for sharing the stories and amazing history of Michael Lynch. I look forward to more fun between you two. Perhaps you two would enjoy a joint current project... Oh So Good... 🌻
Adam.. this was so awesome.. I love these stories. got loads of books about special effects and to hear from you and other people from that time makes me so happy.. when I hear your enthousiasm I get hyped to tears.. Please. get as many interviews as possible.. we need these stories.. little show and tell about how thngs where made, made how people worked superb!!
Just got home to some post from san Francisco. It was badges. They made it all the way to Manchester, England. I'm so grateful. They are great. Thank you
These videos with the ILM legends are simply fun and amazing! Any chance Tested can get Doug Chiang for a video and have both him and Adam talk about designing and making Star Wars ships?
i wonder if all the people that walked the halls of ILM in all it's iterations knew how much their work would touch peoples lives? It was all deadlines and timelines, but they still managed to create fluid works of art. even if it was supposed to explode lol. their imaginations have sparked hundreds of thousands of imaginations across time in different lands and cultural barriers, and most people don't even know their names.
Very well put. But I feel there will be never enough time to gather all that history no matter how we try. But keep doing these videos... Oh and please hear the 8111 podcast. Its all about former ILM employees interviewed. Great stuff.
It's hard not to know how much. When I walked around the model shop or the rest of ilm, the stories were everywhere. And when I worked with some of the old-timers who were still working there, we always talked about their favourite shows or best model. Everyone loved to reminisce about all their years there. We still do it when we get together
So good to hear all these stories. I work at ILM in the late 90's but in digital. I met a lot of these guys and became friends with some, but never met Adam.
The counterpoint to the idea of finishing the back as nice as the front was super interesting. Cause it seems like such a purely good idea. But if its there, it will be used. And then the cost increases elsewhere, etc. I love those insights.
None of this stuff really makes sense to me and I just watch the videos to geek out on Adam and absorb some of his enthusiasm and positivity, but this guy is utterly fabulous! What a humble, interesting and funny man! Just so impressive. Hope he’s segued into something else in order to use all that knowledge and intelligence. 👏🏻👏🏻❤
What a brilliant interview. ILM changed the landscape of movie making. I remember the impact Star Wars made in '77. We went from watching reasonably bad effects to a whole new world of special effects. It made so many kids imaginations go wild.
These talks make me want to spit, it seems that you were having all the fun while I was doing far more serious things at the same kind of level 😂😂 Great interview!
This interview is amazing, thank you so much to Mr. Lynch for his time! What I'm left wondering is if there is actually any room for future careers in practical effects. Between ILM eventually saying "hey don't finish the back of that" to 32ten closing, what does the future of practical effects look like? For me personally it's been a dream of mine to be a part of a production team, and I feel like I'm late to the plate. Born in the wrong era, etc.
Always a good day when i see a adam savage video pop up. I can only imagine how awsome of a day it would be to spend it hanging out at tested. Thank you for another great show. Sending good vibes and love to all.
It's the fascination with problem-solving that gets me. That's the main way I get my dopamine hit, providing solutions to problems people are otherwise unwilling or incapable of dealing with.
My dad is the one who would show us all these classic movies and mythbusters etc, and part of the fun was always guessing how they manage to do certain effects or shots and we’d just talk for most of the movie but our eyes were still glued to the tv hahah
these huge workshop spaces with giant open tables where you have the *space* to work... I envy it so much in my tiny artists desk in the corner of my flat. It's a travesty to lose spaces like this, when they're melting pots for creativity.
Any time you reminisce about your first days is such a great feeling. I remember being a young engineer in class having so much energy and no direction lol
it's become relatively redundant these days to watch one of the Disney behind the scenes featurettes where they mention the original 9 animators (in honor of, or trained by them) but it's just as important that we get videos like this, especially in these days of mostly CG movie and tv production practical effects cannot disappear
Not sure about funiculars, but there are quite a few up-and-over aerial lifts, including a Gondola at Park City with two loading stations and an angled station at the top. It's great a idea with a few unavoidable drawbacks, but I'd like to see more of that kind of thinking
Love listening to the stories of these model makers and hearing how it was done could you please have them come in to the shop and work with Adam on some builds.
When I first saw that missile guidance system interior that he based Threepio’s head on for the Phantom Menace scene, I thought it was the Oscillation Overthruster!
Every now and then something in a Tested video a little piece of information just blows my mind and it's happened again here. I never once thought about the ramifications that come with the creation of non-camera facing details of a piece and how they could change not only the filming but also ultimately the creative direction of certain scenes and their 'CGI budget'. My mind races wondering which movies I've watched that were altered between design and filming due to this fact!
This I soo cool! Talking to your work buddies again. I love that. 🎉 good one. Very interesting too. Always is. I learn a bit often from watching this channel. Thank you!
Just fantastic ,but way too short, you can just tell these two could share stories on how they solved problems, build stuff for days, more more more PLEASE!
The stories!! Oh god I love them! I went from this episode to walking to a restaurant and over hearing a few guys talking about how they electrocuted themselves over the years, I just wanted to setup a camera and tell them to start over. There is such education in hearing people talk about what they did. Successes and failures.
I die a little bit inside each time I see/hear "permanently", in regards to 32Ten shutting down... 😢 Truth be told, I never knew about it until Tested's first interview-tour video, so that makes it all the more saddening (?) for me. Given the impact Lucas Films has had on my childhood. As such, I'm very grateful that this sort of 'Behind The Scenes' series was made, as these details and stories deserve to be told, shared, and preserved! Thank you Adam and Tested for doing so... ♥️
@@tested And _just in case,_ just to be clear... 😅 My opening sentence wasn't suggesting for you guys to include it in each video. It's a fact, after all, and needs to be said, particularly since any one of these could be someone's first video in the series. It's simply a painful reminder is all, but... a _necessary_ one. ☺️ Thanks again for making these and I look forward to the next two! Hopefully you'll consider my suggestion from another thread, of trying to track down other veteran ILM members, to get *their stories* as well! They are all stories that deserve to be documented ♥️🤘
21:40 to the end. Imagine being a child of someone whom works in such an atmosphere. Having formed a child's mind and critical thinking skills to this environment.
Michael seems like a solid dude. Watched this after hearing that if Jaime had of ever left Mythbusters both agreed this is who they would have brought it. Interesting stuff.

More interviews with veterans, please
I need Adam to interview as many model makers before we loose them all to history!
Disney plus should pay Adam to interview people serious
@@Thekidfromcalifornia2.0its a great idea, and thats why Disney wont do it.
I could not agree with you more. I was thrilled to hear these stories.
Adam should do a build of one of those amazing power supplies. I've never seen anything like it!
@@Thekidfromcalifornia2.0 You would have to pay to watch them, plus Disney could pull them at any time as they did with Jeff Goldblum's show.
Absolutely!!!!!
More interviews with veterans, please. I’m loving this.
Two more videos from this shoot to come!
Even more interviews with the same guys. Their must be all kinds of stories they can tell, or would love to tell.
Or even to do a build in The Cave.
The best!
What a treasure these interviews are. I feel privileged getting to watch them.
Wow, how lovely. Thank you for your comment.
It is so enjoyable to watch two experts geek out in their own field. So much knowledge in these two, and the almost childlike glee in discussing their adventures. We should all be so lucky to find our calling so perfectly.
All these interviews are MUCH too short lol. It's such a privilege being able to hear these stories, than you Adam for doing this. MORE PLEASE!
We have two more coming from this shoot! Stay tuned!
Filming these is a kindness and a gift. Thank you so much.
Historically these videos done by Adam & his team is a testament of the What these "builders" have done & to be able to share their legacy with us to hear... Thank you Tested & Adam.
Please do more of these, it was a pleasure to watch!

So good and just some of the millions of stories that came out the ILM caldron.

MORE!!! We need...the world needs to see and hear more of this man!
Really love this format Adam. So great to hear the amazing stories and insights from veterans of the craft. Thank you.
Just got home to some post from san Francisco. It was badges. They made it all the way to Manchester, England. I'm so grateful. They are great. Thank you
Woot! So glad they made it!
That was absolutely delightful, thanks Adam and team ❤
Wow, he seems like a genuinely nice person.
He is SO nice.
This guy is fantastic. I could listen to him all day!
Love this so much… I could listen to these stories all day.

Oh, definitely we'd love that and we've been working on it!
Oh my gosh, that is one of the best videos you have made, hands down. Thank you.
Instantly likeable! Smart,funny and calm. Exactly the kind of person you want to work with!!

What a humble, interesting and funny man! Just so impressive. Hope he’s segued into something else in order to use all that knowledge and intelligence. 👏🏻👏🏻❤
Would love to see more individual and round table talks with veterans. Particularly focused around a specific movie(s). Thank you so much for this.

Adam's rising tool box , reminded me immediately of the toy fixer's tool box from Toy Story 2 and the scene where Woody is restored
This interview is amazing, thank you so much to Mr. Lynch for his time!

I love how this was less of an interview and more so just two old colleagues reminiscing.
More interviews, these are my favorite
A couple more to come!
I honestly loved him describing his dreams. Such a great interview. Thank you!
I loved his excitement in wanting to share. You know you are gifted when you’re dreaming up ideas.
Always a good day when i see a adam savage video pop up. I can only imagine how awsome of a day it would be to spend it hanging out at tested. Thank you for another great show. Sending good vibes and love to all.
It's the fascination with problem-solving that gets me. That's the main way I get my dopamine hit, providing solutions to problems people are otherwise unwilling or incapable of dealing with.
Though not to the same level, by any stretch, I love creative problem solving!
It was pure joy for me to watch this video and hear the stories, the problem solving techniques and the laughter

This was an awesome video. Lot of fun to watch. Would love to see more like this
Great interview again!
He dreamt of the drill attachment! I love this guy!

Waiting for pt.2 😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 i dont mind if its a 1hr interview 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊
I enjoyed that so much I had to come to the comment section to give some extra thumbs up👍👍👍👍👍👍
Oh, appreciate that. Thank you!
How Awsome is it that he is still working out of there. We all have that place we wish we could go back to and hang out. A place where life is good.
Awesome interview. What an interesting person. Great stories.

"maybe it's 3/8ths" I can't even remember my postal code. The memory on this guy.
Id love to see interviews for each model design and construction where possible.

Man it would be cool if this like a series. Interviews and shop tours.
What was the Bala House or Baja Spirit Mr Lynch mentioned at 23:10 ?
From wiki, “Bauhaus (German for 'building house'), was a German art school operational from 1919 to 1933 that combined crafts and the fine arts.”
One of the nicest things i've seen in a long while!

I had things I had to do, but I guess that just has to wait, this is amazing

That felt like five mins, awesome watch
thanks for these interviews great content
whoa whoa whoa can we have a video just on that escapement sculpture thing. It looks freakin' amazing!
This one is gonna be good!
🍿
Ah! Superman quote...nice.
Short but sweet. I could have watched these guys talk for 2 hours.
Best in a long time
That power supply is rad! Would love to see more details and maybe see Adam replicate!!!
Does anybody know what video it was where Adam showed off the scissor lift tool boxes?
I really love this series

Was just reading this section in Every Tool's a Hammer, cool
I always thought of ILM is like the Skunkworks of the effects world. Super motivated and always on the bleeding edge.
I want to see more about that powersupply. I would love to see a show and tell on it.
As always, this man has a fantastic name.
This is WONDERFUL! No more to say...
