Amen to that...seriously the amount of times he's got to live out his fantasies and just geek out over things from Mythbusters to now is astounding...and to think his TV career got started doing commercials..
E SinOhio If you think about it. Adam is the geek in chief of the USA. Possibly the world. Though I think he has rivals in Del torro. N Jackson. When it comes to world tittle
I'm sure he had fun with Mythbusters but considering how long they done it and how long some of the myths actually took to test that we didn't see? Yeah the stress was probably pretty high, also while Adam and Jamie could work well together they would argue A LOT in the earlier seasons on camera as their two ideas and methods clashed badly. They eventually started cutting that kinda content out and made it seem like they were really good friends but for the most part they don't want much to do with each other outside of work related things now. Sure they got along but after the series was over..they were all too happy to not have to deal with each other every single day. I mean the only reason Mythbusters is coming back as a show is that it was mad popular but Adam and Jamie were done with it so they had that whole competition to find new hosts.
TONYSTARK557 Yeah, they hosted a show awhile back to find some new hosts and in November the two new hosts are going to be in a whole new Mythbusters...how long it will last I don't know, Adam and Jamie left some really big shoes to fill.
Adam, your enthusiasm makes my eyes tear up. Honestly, I rarely feel that way, but when I see how genuinely enthusiastic and happy you are about everything you do, I get choked up and cry tears of joy. You are an amazing person. Thank you.
Quadrant ... at least a story of the "off-world Colonies" that may include Decker's attempt to "retire a newly found dangerous Replicant" trying to do something more illegal: "Replicant reproductive success" that only Decker and his re-united daughter only know to be true!
the film was phenomenal to me, completely true to what Blade Runner was while being it's own thing, I dare say it is one of the best sequels of all time
Devon Palmer yes it might deserve awards in best cinematography ( I hope Deakins wins, although i have been hearing masterful things from The Shape of Water, have to wait and see) and maybe visual effects. But it didn't achieve the heights of what the original did. Personally everything else in the film was mediocre, Mad Max Fury Road was a much better all around film and deserved all those awards, but Blade Runner 2049 not a chance.
Miguel Pereira nothing really felt original and it fell into what alot modern movies do now. Things like the writing was average, giving the characters these lines like "the end of the world" while zooming in on their faces, shit like that I find mediocre and the film does it a few times. I felt that the technology within the the world took a step back, seemed uninspired. And the soundtrack was average at best, it also gave into playing nostalgia tracks rather then come up with good original songs, just annoying ambient noises with no depth.
Blade Runner 2049 was a fantastic film, probably my new favorite movie up to this point. Though it makes me sad that relatively few people have the patience to appreciate it.
The blade runner franchise, -especially 2049- has some amazing set design. The people who make the props and character designs really know what they're doing and have a very specific vision.
That greasy hose looks really realistic. I work in metal working and we use industrial vacuum cleaners that use similar hoses to clean the oil and cutting fluids from the machines and after some time they look exactly like that.
It's amazing how much detail can go into set dressings, sometimes it's plain to see what it is, but other times, they sneak in those little easter eggs that are just off to the side that you never notice until someone points it out... :)
I love the way that Adam is almost like a little kid in a sweet shop when it comes to anything like this- sets, props, costumes; he gets giddy and super excited over the tiniest of things! :D I'm vicariously living out my geekyness through Adam :P
The movie was just fantastic, and in my mind even greater than the first movie, though I plan to re-watch it with some friends this week which could change my mind. I'm so glad there are still studios out there willing to risk their money on practical works and long, thought provoking films such as this, rather than mass producing movies designed to make money. And it definitely makes me happy to see Adam being able to experience all of this, and to go behind the scenes and show us what lengths these people did to make such an authentic piece of cinema. It's infinitely fascinating to see how these workers and artists go about creating the world of Blade Runner, thanks for showing us this stuff Tested!
I am sorry to disappoint you, but this is exactly the kind of movie that is designed to make money. the amount of chiché and unoriginal ideas this movie is based on just shows how this is all about money. the sole idea of making a sequel of a perfectly finished movie it a hint of this. Blade Runner did not need a sequel and for the real fans this movie is not a real sequel just because it totally ignores how the original movie ended: with both main characters left dying in a few days
Carlo Orelli Lol. This movie also tanked at the box office, just like the 1st one. I was on PVR gold class, and there were 4 people in total(28 seats) for this movie.
Carlo Orelli Obviously there are always going to be investors and publishers that are trying to make money out of any film. But I would wager that a great majority of the crew that worked on this film had the creative intent of delivering a piece of thought provoking entertainment in mind. No Blade Runner didn't need a sequel, but it was nice to get one just for the sake of expanding the stories in this fantastic universe. It's even better that this film knew its boundaries and doesn't require you to view the first film to be a good movie. It does not try to shove the original Blade Runner down your throat, like so many other sequels do. It's a respectful and masterfully crafted narrative and visual experience that just gives the fans more meat to chew into. And please stop with 'the real fans' because let's be honest, this universe doesn't have the sort of following that allows there to be bandwagon fans and 'real' fans. Using this term just makes people seem like they are grouchy someone else watched the same thing they did and has different opinions, which goes against the intention of the film to spark discussion.
The film was actually rather disappointing. As a film it was OK, but as a sequel to Blade Runner, it was terrible. There were some nice in-jokes and references, but overall low-brow junk masquerading as high-brow gold (it was directed by Villeneuve, so I really shouldn't have expected better, the only thing he's good at is making stupid people think they are clever). Everything seemed forced and unnatural. The plot was trite and cliched, and everything was very predictable. Totally a wasted opportunity ;^
now all us blade runner fans can spend the next 30 plus years re watching this and always find something new with each viewing . now that`s movie magic !
No, movies are not shot in higher and higher resolution they are only release in higher resolution. Movies that were shot on actual film still have a higher quality/resolution than 4K. Switching to digital was just a huge step backwards for resolution and quality and now they are getting closer to the analog movie quality again. Back than they just couldn't get the high resolution from the analog movies onto the screen.
Really cool. I'm going to see it next week. Can't wait! I'm going to be able to say "cool, Adam drove that thing!". Thanks for making me laugh yet again, you're great Adam!!!
More often than not, when this amount of care has been put into making a world that makes sense I will enjoy the movie. It's what first attracted me to the Star Wars universe and that's been my main obsession for the past 20years. Having no experience with Blade Runner I went and saw it the other day and I really liked it. I don't want to say I enjoyed it because it's not a super fun movie and it really bummed me out but I did really like it and would whole heartedly see a sequel or continuation of this universe if they choose to make one.
You know, that's an interesting comment Adam made about the increase in resolution of modern films and modern digital projectors (not to mention BluRay on your TV at home). Some 20-odd years ago, I did the Universal Studios tour in southern California. The tram took us through a set that was being actively shot for some movie at the time, and we noted how it looked completely trashed and destroyed - it was just a street scene; some back alley. The guide told us that the set decorators HAD to exaggerate the filth, because once it made it onto the screen, between the lighting methods and the lower resolution of actual film, it would appear "normal" to viewers. If they dressed it "normally" as we'd see in real life, on film it would appear unrealistically pristine. Now, things have completely reversed.
They made that sweeper from a stand on fork lift , which I've used in one of my previous jobs .... Great fun you could make them pop a wheelie if you smashed the power on full.
When people think of Cyberpunk...Blade Runner is one of the first movies that people think of. Also I would really to to see that street sweeper/snow plow Adam drove on the roads for real..legit that thing would be fun to see doing work and I'm pretty sure the spinning blade is for large chunks of semi frozen snow.
Love this stuff. Love this channel. :) Unique high quality content, plus they also cover he exact mix of topics that i like. Also really nice to see Adam freak/geek out over cool stuff. :D ^^
I was surprised to see that the clothes are very mildly aged or modded. I guess they make it all about filters and lighting. Not a "the road" kind of costume distress level surprisingly.
Im a original blade running nut. I was actually turned onto the film buy watching alot of anime and kept reading where people are saying the anime in question borrowed alot from this old film "blade runner". So when I finally watched it I was blown away. My question is, how good is the reboot? Hopefully not something deus ex magicka to tie the two together
5:32 There's a German Newspaper xD I think above the picture it says "Girls in the ?" and underneath "The defeated death" I wonder why it was put there. I love to see all the different languages colliding :D
Well, if they need to make it match many of the outdoor scenes in the new movie, be sure to digitally colour correct the the crap out of it until all those meticulous details turn to monotone background mush.
I had no idea so much production was put into the 2048 short film.Sometimes behind the scenes takes away from a film.This definitely adds to it.
Adam Savage has to be the luckiest geek on the planet!
Amen to that...seriously the amount of times he's got to live out his fantasies and just geek out over things from Mythbusters to now is astounding...and to think his TV career got started doing commercials..
E SinOhio
If you think about it.
Adam is the geek in chief of the USA. Possibly the world.
Though I think he has rivals in Del torro. N Jackson. When it comes to world tittle
I hate his accent 👎🏻🇺🇸
He looks a lot happier doing this stuff on UA-cam than he did on mythbusters. I'm glad he can geek out and have a good time
nicolefancy69 hes like a kid in a candy store :)
I'm sure he had fun with Mythbusters but considering how long they done it and how long some of the myths actually took to test that we didn't see? Yeah the stress was probably pretty high, also while Adam and Jamie could work well together they would argue A LOT in the earlier seasons on camera as their two ideas and methods clashed badly.

I mean the only reason Mythbusters is coming back as a show is that it was mad popular but Adam and Jamie were done with it so they had that whole competition to find new hosts.
ShinKyuubi Wait, what? Mythbuster's coming back?!
TONYSTARK557 Yeah, they hosted a show awhile back to find some new hosts and in November the two new hosts are going to be in a whole new Mythbusters...how long it will last I don't know, Adam and Jamie left some really big shoes to fill.
Adam, your enthusiasm makes my eyes tear up. Honestly, I rarely feel that way, but when I see how genuinely enthusiastic and happy you are about everything you do, I get choked up and cry tears of joy. You are an amazing person. Thank you.
He's getting to do what we all wish that we could... and then turning around and sharing it all with us. Love ya', Adam!! :)
I'm so glad there's someone like Adam who gets to see these amazing sets and share them with us. Thank you Adam!
... and lets us see it all through Sci-Fi fan geek eyes like ours! :)
Yes more blade runner please!!!
Quadrant ... at least a story of the "off-world Colonies" that may include Decker's attempt to "retire a newly found dangerous Replicant" trying to do something more illegal: "Replicant reproductive success" that only Decker and his re-united daughter only know to be true!
Adam check if the machine *runs*
The machine has snow *blades*
Adam = *Blade Runner*
Wow! The amount of work that has gone into the tiniest details. Amazing!
its a shame that all the little details didnt go into making a good film though. albeit that 3 way was kinda cool..
the film was phenomenal to me, completely true to what Blade Runner was while being it's own thing, I dare say it is one of the best sequels of all time
Yup..this movie did everything...except make money.
Adam: Visits Blade Runner set
Talks half of the time about a sci-fi snow plow
Yeah but it is to illustrate the greater point he was trying to make.
He needs to get a tour on Star Wars Episode 9, so that we get quality behind the scenes of the stormtroopers, blasters, and costumes.
Not sure Disney would allow them to film anything though. They're pretty tight about these kind of stuff.
I swear if blade runner 2049 doesn't win the oscar for best cinematography
Brilliant I'm feeling it will mad max the oscars
Devon Palmer The cinematographer for blade runner 2049 has been dominated 13 times but never won. Hopefully this will be his first win
Devon Palmer yes it might deserve awards in best cinematography ( I hope Deakins wins, although i have been hearing masterful things from The Shape of Water, have to wait and see) and maybe visual effects. But it didn't achieve the heights of what the original did. Personally everything else in the film was mediocre, Mad Max Fury Road was a much better all around film and deserved all those awards, but Blade Runner 2049 not a chance.
damien Huh what is mediocre exacly?
Miguel Pereira nothing really felt original and it fell into what alot modern movies do now. Things like the writing was average, giving the characters these lines like "the end of the world" while zooming in on their faces, shit like that I find mediocre and the film does it a few times. I felt that the technology within the the world took a step back, seemed uninspired. And the soundtrack was average at best, it also gave into playing nostalgia tracks rather then come up with good original songs, just annoying ambient noises with no depth.
I went into this film without big expectations and was blown away! Such a good film. Definitely in my top 3!
TTrevolverheldTT I went in there with huge expectations and was still blown away!😂
Blade Runner 2049 was a fantastic film, probably my new favorite movie up to this point. Though it makes me sad that relatively few people have the patience to appreciate it.
I know right, I never understood why people don't like long films. You get to be immersed in the world for *that* much longer.
I love how no matter how much in-person bts Adam has seen through the years, he still nerds out like every one of us would. Never change Adam
Adam's behind the scenes coverage of alien and bladerunner has been the sole reason why i want to see those films, i love it!
The blade runner franchise, -especially 2049- has some amazing set design. The people who make the props and character designs really know what they're doing and have a very specific vision.
This quality content though!! This insight is fantastic.
This man is experiencing a truly enchanted and blessed life. Thank you for showing us all that you show us Mr. Adam Savage.
2:14 That laugh 😀
like a little kid
That is the sound of Adam scheming to drive of with it.
in the captions "evil laughter" :D :D
Awesome. Adam has become one of my biggest heroes.
That greasy hose looks really realistic. I work in metal working and we use industrial vacuum cleaners that use similar hoses to clean the oil and cutting fluids from the machines and after some time they look exactly like that.
It's amazing how much detail can go into set dressings, sometimes it's plain to see what it is, but other times, they sneak in those little easter eggs that are just off to the side that you never notice until someone points it out... :)

the sheer delight in his voice!
I wish they had released a bunch more promo like this leading up so more people would have seen this true work of art.
I love the ambience so much in this movie
Happy Adam = Happy Roland
Agreed.
Thank you very much for bringing us with you on the set of what seems to be my new favorite movie. I'll have to go see it again just to make sure :)
I'd love to see interviews with the set decorators, explaining all those little details we glimpsed in this video.
They should have Adam in every SciFi movie set. It would make for awesome content and I'm sure he wouldn't mind
I have purposefully suspended my disbelief so I can geek out with Adam. Too fun!
Amazing! That level detail done in 2.5 days.
How awesome is it that we get another Blade Runner movie? Not a remake but a sequel!
Your are the coolest guy ever! Awesome child-like enthusiasm! Just like me! I love these sets!
I bet he has new item in his blade runner shelf, like johnny walker wisky and stuff.
No, movies are not shot in higher and higher resolution they are only release in higher resolution.
Movies that were shot on actual film still have a higher quality/resolution than 4K.

Really cool. I'm going to see it next week. Can't wait!
I'm going to be able to say "cool, Adam drove that thing!".
Thanks for making me laugh yet again, you're great Adam!!!
The fact he actually even went to Budapest just to just do this is more incredible!!!
Adam Savage. Youre the man sir
Your channel is amazing. Cheers from Brazil! Thank you!
Saw 2049 in IMAX yesterday, and wow it was great!!!
More often than not, when this amount of care has been put into making a world that makes sense I will enjoy the movie.

It's sad when a Transformer or Resident Evil movie blows away Blade Runner at the box office.
You know, that's an interesting comment Adam made about the increase in resolution of modern films and modern digital projectors (not to mention BluRay on your TV at home). Some 20-odd years ago, I did the Universal Studios tour in southern California.

Adam is always wearing the coolest Jackets
They made that sweeper from a stand on fork lift , which I've used in one of my previous jobs .... Great fun you could make them pop a wheelie if you smashed the power on full.
I thought the movie was great and so were the shorts they released beforehand too!
Man that's what I would call the realm of the Savage Nation?
i just saw Blade Runner and it was AMAZING
So awesome. Such a great movie too
Film isn't high resolution?
01:33 I use to have those exact same *orange swivel cassette tape holders* .....coooool
Sweet !!
Thx Adam
reminds me of the amount of detail Weta put in to LoTR. Kudos.
When people think of Cyberpunk...Blade Runner is one of the first movies that people think of. Also I would really to to see that street sweeper/snow plow Adam drove on the roads for real..legit that thing would be fun to see doing work and I'm pretty sure the spinning blade is for large chunks of semi frozen snow.
This is incredible.
Love this stuff. Love this channel. :) Unique high quality content, plus they also cover he exact mix of topics that i like. Also really nice to see Adam freak/geek out over cool stuff. :D ^^
Do androids dream of electric geeks?
That sir, was really good.
Knowing Adams love of a wide variety of tech from movies etc i should have said "eclectic geeks"!
This movie needs a sequel.
It feels like Adam genuinely thought he was on the set of Bladerunner 2049, and only afterwards was explained it was for the short film instead.
Can't believe you were in Budapest and I missed you :((
I feel the exact same way 🙁
Yes please
Now I'm really interested in where things were shot for the movie.
awesome!
Yeah, the cryptic opening doesn't work in youtube where you have to put Set Tour of the Blade Runner Universe in the title of your video.
I love adam's geek moments he is just like a kid in a candy store ^_^
MORE MORE MORE....why only 6 minutes ? waaaaaaaaaah.
I was surprised to see that the clothes are very mildly aged or modded. I guess they make it all about filters and lighting. Not a "the road" kind of costume distress level surprisingly.
Well, it's not a post apocalyptic wasteland
cezar211091 Yep. People look presentable lol
As presentable as they can in a shitty world
I thought it would be more a hopeless dirty version for the common people. :)
Yeah, that would make sense
love this video
such a good film
Im a original blade running nut. I was actually turned onto the film buy watching alot of anime and kept reading where people are saying the anime in question borrowed alot from this old film "blade runner". So when I finally watched it I was blown away. My question is, how good is the reboot? Hopefully not something deus ex magicka to tie the two together
What anime? Ghost In The Shell, Akira, what else?
And 2049 is not a reboot, but in the five years from this comment, you probably figured that out.
I'd love to be an extra in one of these films, just to wear costume and walk around in the settings
What camera did you use to film this? It looks great! It's like a movie!
defiantly a Trabant in the background! 0:58
movies shot on 70mm film are far higher resolution than 4k so we have had films that need that level of detail for years. Laurence of Arabia etc.
5:32 There's a German Newspaper xD I think above the picture it says "Girls in the ?" and underneath "The defeated death"
I wonder why it was put there. I love to see all the different languages colliding :D
Ugh payday is on Friday can't see it till this weekend.
this channel is so cool.
Blade Runner 2049, one of the only US movies in recent memory where they don't use the default available typeface for foreign languages.
Great now I'm gonna watch the movie and go "Adam drove that one!"
Adam is going to love cyberpunk 2077!
Is that Ben Kingsley over Adam's left shoulder in the opening shot?
My reaction during the opening scene of Blade Runner 2049 @2:12
Ryan Sams That was the sea wall sequence for me
Adam Savage's Tour of a Street Sweeper from Blade Runner 2049
You Sir have one of the best jobs(if it’s even called a job) in the World.
Nice! very cool.
Well, if they need to make it match many of the outdoor scenes in the new movie, be sure to digitally colour correct the the crap out of it until all those meticulous details turn to monotone background mush.
Damn Adam is lucky "litle bit of hard work " to get his fantasy real
I LOVE this. It's so sad that so many other people don't care
Dave Batista was awesome. To to short a scene though
I'm in love with the pink headed hologirl ^^
This whole set looks like a german post apocalyptic Larp. :D
I would love to drive one of the street sweepers
When you said, "set dressed in two days," I pooped my pants.
Then I realised that fabrication happened beforehand. I felt better.
Would that happen to be the same quarry the scene from expendables is filmed in?
Adam you are my idol
5:32 LOL Edda kazetta :D :D
