I think my favorite part of this is that Adam was actually having Allie work instead of just showing her his tricks. It's great that he's trusting her competency and letting her learn.
I liked that he didn't fuss over the details. That's such an important lesson, especially for someone like me who is too often a perfectionist. Being a perfectionist can kill the love of something for a lot of people and I really respect how Adam just let her do her thing. You can see that each of these were all a bit different. Some were rougher than others, but it all adds to the experience for her and us.
What I liked was he didn't hover (much) it was "this is how it's done.... your turn and I'm going over here to line up the next thing" although the difference in confidence in the brush strokes was lovely. Adam: splish splash sploosh (but with a practices eye) and Allie: much more tentative.
@@ohnhai it's just experience. It was a nice contrast to watch Adam go ham, Allie take her time. And the end product, obviously with a helpful hint here and there, came out the same. And the fact these are going to be movie used props, and hes still just going, this is how it's done, there ya go and then just leaves her to do her thing. Just beautiful.
Imagine doing prop work for a Ghostbusters movie at 14! That's like the coolest thing to have on a resumé. Kudos to Adam for being a mentor, and treating Allie not just like a student, but a colleague.
I love how Adam was talking about how props can walk off a film set and then you see McKenna Grace plotting to do exactly that the minute she sees the whistle. 😂

I love seeing nerds geek out, just the body language of " I'm building... wait, it's built? Keep building." is always a beautiful state of flux to see...
Saw the movie last night! Ghostbusters: Afterlife is almost exactly what I hoped it would be! McKenna Grace is excellent as Phoebe Spengler. I see some are criticising the density of fan service in the film, but actually none of it is cynical... They didn't feel the need to show us Slimer, for example, and the overall effect is one of love for the 1984 original. This wasn't so much a passing-the-torch as it was a generational reflection on Ghostbusters. Also the way the movie handled Harold Ramis' absence was really quite beautiful! Oh - And I shared a knowing nod with my wife when the Aztec Death Whistle turned up :D
I feel the same. The movie is also a demonstration that you can re make a movie and put woman/girls black girl as the main protagonist, making male characters some dumb and relegated to second place. And not offend anyone with it. I think we all enjoyed seen Phoebe being the smart sister explaining to his no so smart brother. Whiteout saying"you are a man you are stupid"
I appreciate how he let her use the cool, expensive and kind of dangerous toy. He trust her and allow her to really learn. It's kinda cool to see he doesn't judge her by her age.
Just seen Afterlife this evening. It’s the perfect 3rd Movie! When do we get Part 2 of this build, I wanna know how Adam put that deathly scream into such a small object!
I love seeing Adam treat Allie as a peer. I know they've worked together and know each other very well, but the level of respect he must have for her is truly a delight to see
Well this was a pleasant surprise. I JUST got back from the movie and this prop scene was HYSTERICAL. Good job. Also the fact I was telling people I haven't seen a movie with such amazing visual effects and spectacular sound effects that just mold the movie experience since Blade Runner 2049 and YOU referenced that movie in this video LOL. I really feel like Jason Reitman took the 1st movie and mixed it with the Goonies - and THIS prop totally helped push that vibe!
Just back from seeing Ghostbusters: Afterlife and these 'death whistles' stole two scenes, very funny! Great suggestion Adam and watching this now with you both just makes the whole experience that much better. Thank you!
Amazing Adam! This was a great prop in the movie - you are always a great presenter, explainer and your enthusiasm is soooo infectious! My dream one day - visit the cave and help with a build :)
Every time I watch Adam do any weathering, I think of him as Mr Miyagi repeating "Wax On, Wax Off" as he applies and removes paint. then this episode comes along and he even has a student to teach this method. Its amazeing to see and I love watching this whole process.
I have an Aztec Death Whistle, a carved stone one... My nieghbours bought their kid a trumpet, and he played at night, so I accompanied him on Death Whistle... We got some good discordant trumpeting and horrifying screaming going every night... For some reason, after a week he stopped playing at night. And yes, this is a true story.
@@peterkelley6344 I wouldn't call it a whistle, it sounds like someone screaming, horribly. You can change your breaths, hand positions and add some really chilling creepy depth to the screams. The shape of the inside mimics a human throat. The old story was the Aztecs used them going into battle, knowing what one sounds like, if you had a group the noise would be gut-wrenching, hair-raising, brown pants, terrifying.
I was going say teens across the world must be so jealous of getting hands on training from Adam for a prop on an actual film.... but I'm 46 and I am so jealous... Kept at it Allie........
Adam getting to make props for the new Ghostbusters is awesome, but what is making me tear up is that he chose to share that experience with Allie as a next generation maker. L:ove this so much!!
Adam is my biggest inspiration for all the props I’ve made up to this point in my life. Hope he keeps doing what he loves and continues to inspire other people such as myself. Btw, this is so cool to see him making props for films such as this! Keep up the great work!
Adam is great at teaching, and Allie is amazing at being a teachable stand-in for us, the audience. (I've seen her work up close, and Adam is teaching her a lot less that this video makes it appear).
It's really heartwarming watching how patient Adam is in sharing the experience with Allie. That's the kind of opportunity she'll remember for years to come, not to mention every time she sees the movie! Well done, Adam!
Adam seems like such a great teacher both with his excitement and how readily he hands things off to those he's working with. That's always a challenge with teaching something like this, being able to let someone take over on something that matters. And Allie is obviously talented as well to be able to keep up with all that. I hope she gets a chance to use what she learned there.
Adam , we all see your enthusiasm and enjoyment in making props etc on these one day builds . It goes up a level when working with someone else but I think it's fair to say you have even more joy working alongside a younger maker 👍👍
(adam) "your hands are going to get filthy" (allie) "thats fine" i feel like anyone working with adam would have no problem getting "filthy" in the workshop
Absolutely amazing!! Just saw the movie last night- LIKELY gonna see it again tonight and I have nothing negative to day about this movie other than while this movie will introduce a new generation to that which is Ghostbusters, it was also something for the legacy fans as well and to see YOU and your contributions to the film being this Death whistle which I've been recently getting hooked on- just absolutely amazing!!
My money was on the remote control ghost trap as Adam's contribution BUT the death whistle makes so much sense from the model builder that he is. Yes, I want one. And yes, the movie is awesome.
Allie Webber seems to be on the top of the world by the time her work is finished with this set of props. She'll probably be out at the ort cloud when she sees the thank you from the director and cast member(?).
Last year i 3D printed a proton pack, once assembled I used a two-part resin to coat and strengthen the print, mixed the resin in a red solo cup, I've never worked with resin before, mixed a little too much resin, and felt the cup getting warmer. Finally, I see it smoking. Learned real quick that resin is an exothermic reaction.
I can't decide which is better: Allie's excitement to learn and help build a prop for a big blockbuster movie or McKenna's huge, genuine kid-in-a-candy-store grin at seeing and holding such an awesome, hand-made prop. I'm so jealous of both those kids!
This is so heartwarming, seeing one of my heroes pass his knowledge and techniques to the next generation, outstanding Adam, thank you for sharing this
These are the experiences that so many children miss out on now that we don't do much of this kind of craftsman mentoring. I wouldn't give up my experiences for anything, I learned more about life, problem solving and how to be an adult from them than anything I ever learned in school.
Adam is a maker of a different sort but it's something all humans can create. He made something Allie Weber can keep forever. Not a prop or a video but awesome memories. Adam is a memory maker :) Go make everyone!
Kids if you want to learn about making these molds rather than just seeing the results, check out Robert Tolone's channel. Amazing gentlemen and great teacher.
Took the family to see Afterlife this evening. Absolutely loved it. It’s the first film in a long time that brought a tear to my eyes. Any chance you will or are allowed to sell a raw pull from this mold?
Awesome. Wish we could have seen the sculpting process too. And the reaction from Jason and McKenna is just fabulous. Cannot wait to see the movie this coming Saturday.
I have very serious question for Adam. Why dose every movie your involved in end up being a massive disappointment? For the life of me i cant think of one that didn't upset myself and countless others in some way. I like you as a person but the movies you have helped create lack the greatness they could have had. I wont get into detail here but you know what i mean Star Wars, The Matrix, Space Cowboys and Blade Runner 2049. You helped ruin many of my hopes and dreams. Please stay away from any other Science Fiction movies in the future.
STL? Sorry, JK. It's great to see people who really love and have passion for their job and get a lot of enjoyment out of it. So good to see Adam passing on his skills to another generation.
That was a great video. Watching you show Allie how to do things and explain why the things do what they do was really cool. I love that you love to help/share knowledge with young makers and all makers. I'm so excited about the new Ghost Busters!
Watching Adam teach as he creates is incredibly heartwarming.
I wish he would teach lung safety as well. Grinding resin without a mask is not good.
That, and watching him just talk shop with other prop masters is one of the purest joys of the Internet.
@@understatedwalrus Agreed.
I was about to post that too :)
I was going to say the same thing! He really knows how to communicate and how to slow down to give important information. Faith in humanity restored.
Amazing work Allie and Adam! We saw the film last night and the death whistle prop got a lot of love. SO EXCITING! =D
Saw this video early this morning. Saw the film about 2 hours ago... Fantastic.
I think my favorite part of this is that Adam was actually having Allie work instead of just showing her his tricks. It's great that he's trusting her competency and letting her learn.

Yes I enjoyed that too, letting her do it at her pace with the brush and not the manic style of Adam 😂, and just let her do it, and enjoy the process
Imagine doing prop work for a Ghostbusters movie at 14! That's like the coolest thing to have on a resumé. Kudos to Adam for being a mentor, and treating Allie not just like a student, but a colleague.
It would be beyond cool. Allie would in fact have proof of that work too!
Just seeing this makes me think how amazing it would be to have Adam mentoring you for prop making
On a prop that will be used in a major motion picture... That wouldn't suck.... Too bad
He kind of is through these videos
Maybe he can 'substitute teach' middle school shop or art classes.
I think he is a better teacher than maker, and he is an amazing maker...
The University Of Adam Savage's Propmaking....... Where do I sign up? #LoveLoveLove
I love how Adam was talking about how props can walk off a film set and then you see McKenna Grace plotting to do exactly that the minute she sees the whistle. 😂
Well, they did make seven of them and they're a very handy size. They're basically perfect mementos for the actors.
I hope she kept it. She seemed genuinely excited over it.
i love re-watching this again, seeing Adam geek out, teaching the younger generation his methodology is so sweet.

She looks so grown up, now!

Can't help but smile seeing all their excitement at the end.
Saw the movie last night!

@@oskimac But like-wise as embarrassed as he might have been by her nerdiness, he cares. It was relatable teenage sibling back n forth.
"I'll be a whole new person"
*looks at everything that happened in 2020*
Yep, I'm willing to bet she has changed
I appreciate how he let her use the cool, expensive and kind of dangerous toy. He trust her and allow her to really learn. It's kinda cool to see he doesn't judge her by her age.

Dang Adam, I want a death whistle now!💀
Me to I work at a haunted house in October I want one so bad
It'll be cool when Prop Store has one of these and they come back to Adam for provenance
Every time I watch Adam do any weathering, I think of him as Mr Miyagi repeating "Wax On, Wax Off" as he applies and removes paint. then this episode comes along and he even has a student to teach this method. Its amazeing to see and I love watching this whole process.
I have an Aztec Death Whistle, a carved stone one... My nieghbours bought their kid a trumpet, and he played at night, so I accompanied him on Death Whistle... We got some good discordant trumpeting and horrifying screaming going every night... For some reason, after a week he stopped playing at night.
And yes, this is a true story.
So the death whistles DO whistle ... Wish they presented the sound of one.

Adam getting to make props for the new Ghostbusters is awesome, but what is making me tear up is that he chose to share that experience with Allie as a next generation maker. L:ove this so much!!

10 years from now. Adam: That looks like one of MY props .... let me check for my mark. Yep there it is! Good to see you again!

adam is better than santa, not only does he bring fun toys, but he is there to with an infectious smile
OMG I'd be so nervous standing there with Adam Savage. It's one thing to watch Adam Savage but to be there with him would be just awesome.
Sooooooo GLAD to see Ally again! I miss those kids and that show. You ought to involve more of the young genius' in "Tested".
It's not a good project with a partner until no one is talking and it's like you're working alone. Hard to explain but great to have happen!
29:35 and you guys know nothing about a global pandemic!
Right? This was filmed in July 2019.
How to fail at attention seeking kid 😆
This was a fun prop in the film. And a prominent one too, not some random background item.
Oh, man. I just got a major Mr. Wizard nostalgia flashback.
I was thinking the same. If he ever needs a new gig he could be the new Mr. Wizard.
Loving this format, it really brings the pedagogy out of Adam.
Absolutely amazing!!

He would be the coolest mentor! He is a big kid anyway lol
This item was far more prominent that I'd thought it would be in the movie. Kudos!
Adam is so good with kids. Allie is getting an amazing education from the best in the business, wow.
Gotta wonder what Adam thought of his own prop being included with the Hasbro figure of Podcast. Must have been pretty cool.
Last year i 3D printed a proton pack, once assembled I used a two-part resin to coat and strengthen the print, mixed the resin in a red solo cup, I've never worked with resin before, mixed a little too much resin, and felt the cup getting warmer.

Hey Adam loved your show Mythbusters and enjoy your builds and pray 🙏you see this wish you could try to build a garden scale steam engine
I saw it (the movie) yesterday. And was thinking if i can get a 3d model to print. And then i came across this video. I can't believe.
Those are so cool!!!! I want one!!!
This is so heartwarming, seeing one of my heroes pass his knowledge and techniques to the next generation, outstanding Adam, thank you for sharing this
Great looking props. It's also great to see how he includes and teaches his assistant while still working in his normal frenzied pace.
Imagine learning prop making from Adam... I might be old, but damn that would be cool.
Passing the torch:
Ghostbusters
Ghostbusters Director
Adam Savage
🤗
Who all wants to be Allie??. This is so heart warming. Thanks Adam. I wish I had just a fraction of your mentoring techniques
Love it.... But I can't belive you didn't blow one of us :)
"Hi, I'm Adam Savage, and this is my Masterclass!"
From your lips to Tested's ears.
Dirt doesn't discriminate, between the dishes and the plates . . .
I would love to learn from Adam Savage in the art of making.
Ghostbusters afterlife was worth it.😍 The movie was good 😁
These are the experiences that so many children miss out on now that we don't do much of this kind of craftsman mentoring. I wouldn't give up my experiences for anything, I learned more about life, problem solving and how to be an adult from them than anything I ever learned in school.
You can tell the difference between the expert and a novice by the way the expert holds a paint brush. Great Vid :)
Adam is a maker of a different sort but it's something all humans can create. He made something Allie Weber can keep forever. Not a prop or a video but awesome memories. Adam is a memory maker :) Go make everyone!
love aztec death whistles, they are great to scare the shit out of loud neighbors after dark when they are outside drunk
I was looking for this prop when I saw tha movie today. I was so elated when I saw it and how it was used. Amazing work Adam
Luckily girl Allie, Adam's 1 on 1 Ultimate Master Class ;)
OMG I want one.
Nice work Allie, hope you got to make an extra casting to keep.
Master and Grasshopper. How rewarding and enjoyable.
This is so cool to learn that Adam (and Allie) made this. They are so cool. I want one so bad.
“Lick your finger and pull it right off”. Pre-Covid days for sure
I love the fact that if you couldn’t see who he was talking to you couldn’t tell if he was talking to a kid or an adult.
Love watching Adam guide and teach these processes. I could see Adam doing a whole series of these videos in which he teaches young makers.
I use pelican cases for all my stuff, very nice and secure. Plus they take a beating.
Man, to have the opportunity to be mentored by Adam and create with him in person....
Gotta love Adam great person awesome teacher I hope I can meet him one day and shake his hand
Kids if you want to learn about making these molds rather than just seeing the results, check out Robert Tolone's channel. Amazing gentlemen and great teacher.
I got some real Mr. Wizard vibes watching this.
Awesome build! I think it is so awesome that Allie gets to learn from Adam.
I can tell you it looks also great on the big screen! :D
RIGHT??????
Little late to see this, but did Allie get her name in the credits as an assistant prop maker? lol
This is wholesome AF, and the video I didn't know I needed right now.
Missed opportunity: embed a whistle inside it so it was a functional, not just an awesome looking prop. Now that would have been cool.
Adam teaching is just remarkable. It's a blessing that he's teaching the next generation
While watching this I kept getting flashbacks of Mr. Wizard episodes when I was a kid.
Took the family to see Afterlife this evening. Absolutely loved it. It’s the first film in a long time that brought a tear to my eyes. Any chance you will or are allowed to sell a raw pull from this mold?
Awesome. Wish we could have seen the sculpting process too. And the reaction from Jason and McKenna is just fabulous. Cannot wait to see the movie this coming Saturday.
Adam and the Tested crew got to see a preview at New York Comic Con and we loved it. Hope you do too!
@@tested OK. Just back from seeing it, it was fantastic. 😊
The way that Adam explains things as he is teaching her the process of each step... he's like the world's greatest shop teacher.
I have very serious question for Adam. Why dose every movie your involved in end up being a massive disappointment? For the life of me i cant think of one that didn't upset myself and countless others in some way. I like you as a person but the movies you have helped create lack the greatness they could have had. I wont get into detail here but you know what i mean Star Wars, The Matrix, Space Cowboys and Blade Runner 2049. You helped ruin many of my hopes and dreams. Please stay away from any other Science Fiction movies in the future.
Attention seeking kids award for you
So amazing watching the pair working together. Adam is the perfect teacher 🙂
Adam you are one hell of a teacher... Very awesome....
STL? Sorry, JK. It's great to see people who really love and have passion for their job and get a lot of enjoyment out of it. So good to see Adam passing on his skills to another generation.
Awesome insight, thank you for sharing
Allie is a delight through and through. That is all.
Mr. Savage you need to learn the nuance of a pin wash, sludge washes are for n00bs.
We need more with the Mythbuster jr people!!
The end "I'll be a whole different person, maybe a new haircut" That worked out pretty well, hahaha
Shoe polish! Thank you teacher!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What an amazing opportunity for a young person to have.
That was a great video. Watching you show Allie how to do things and explain why the things do what they do was really cool. I love that you love to help/share knowledge with young makers and all makers.
I'm so excited about the new Ghost Busters!
