How Blade Runner's Badge Was Made!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- One of the artifacts uncovered at the Earl Hays Press is the original print blocks for Deckard's police badge in Blade Runner! Adam couldn't resist the opportunity to get this block back in a printing press to perfectly recreate this iconic hand prop exactly as it was made for the film--using the same tools that were originally used to make it!

I'm not one for hyperbole but as a blade runner fan and ex-printer / graphic designer that was genuinely one of the most satisfying and wonderful videos I've seen.
Right there with you man. This video was satisfying on soooo many levels. Classis printing techniques, classic machines, old-school graphic design, and Blade Runner. Pheww...
Same here! I am a graphic designer that learned graphic design to replicate old bicycle graphics and decals back in the early 2000's and I am just fascinated by the machinery and old school printing processes. I would love to have all of this equipment!
That little *gasp* as he realizes what is going on 😊
As a college instructor of graphic design I can't say ditto enough. Wow.
@@covrtdesign5279For me blade runner is basically a holy movie. I worked in movie industry for half of my life. Tho when I saw process of making a badge I got so immersed , its not Adam s reaction its mine! Had flashbacks of working in movies , don't like this kind of phrases but it was a trip!
And in end when I saw finished badge , I felt this kind of envy , just a fantastic one video! For me its the most special one.
I dont think ive ever seen Adam get this emotional about making a prop replica. Watching Adam getting to work with people who care as much about authenticity as he does is a real treat.
At this point do we call it a replica? At least to me this is a sibling to the original props as it comes from the same provenance.
@@MonsieurAuContraireIt's still replication based on the original, just with the original equipment for part of it. It's not that far removed from how some prop companies sell prop replicas using the original molds.
@@Merennulli Yah, it's not made for the movie, it's a replica. But it is a very cool thing regardless.
I was getting emotional too haha,
His enthusiasm is infectious.
I hope Adam got to keep the other cards that were printed. A framed display showing each step with the raw pieces would be amazing.
That's a great idea.
Adam's often said that when he makes a prop, he's looking for the experience that goes with it. It can't get much better than this!
It's not the thing, it's the essence of the thing. The thing doesn't have to be a perfect replica, it has to feel authentic to its source. This isn't a perfect replica, but it could hardly feel more authentic.
@@ZazuYenI mean you can’t really get a more perfect replica of it when he’s using original machines and parts to make it
I hope this turns out to be a 200 episode series. They sure would have enough interesting stuff to show off.
Amen to that.
I’m sure that if he were allowed Adam would happily set up camp inside the warehouse and spend the next year nerding out over everything in there.
@@ConManAU a reverse protest?
I would love to see a multi episode series just like this one. Showing a prop, explaining how it was made, and then going through all the steps and equipment used to create it.
@@ConManAU He'd just move in and live there
So... actually Adam IS cutting corners when producing movie replicas ;)
Ha! and or course he's using a 800 pound piece of cast iron to do it with
I'd be flabbergasted if I found an untouched roll of Amberlith. Amazingly enough when Adam picked up the tube I felt the heft of a full roll of it in the back of my mind, I had the precise synesthetic feel from way back in the early 1990's when I was an intern at the graphic department of the Navy Museum in DC. Man I miss the old analog days…
Indeed.
Seeing that tube lit up some long dark neurons in my squishy lump as well.
@@StubbyPhillips Same. My school printed their own yearbooks when I went there (1970s), and we used amberlith to mask out where the photos were going to go.
graphic arts have an intrinsic quality to them that modern digital presses are not able to replicate - offset press colors and types are beautiful
Hmm I'm getting quite perplexed. From what I'm finding out Amberlith went out of production around 2007 but is supposed to be yellow in color. Rubylith is reddish and is still produced.
@@Bahamuttone not yellow. A deep orange, bordering on vermilion.
Thumbs-up if you noticed the spelling mistakes. On the back at 20:18 "Penal Coed" not Penal Code and "Probhibits" instead of Prohibits!
- Also, that's NOT Deckard's ID Number, his is "B 263-54"
Yep, the proofreader was on vacation that day, either physically or mentally lol.
@@DwellerBenthos LOL
@DwellerBenthos Was it like that in the movie too?
For anyone that doesn't have access to Rubylith or Amberlith, you can approximate it with translucent vinyl. It won't have the light blocking properties but it will look almost identical. Sign shops will often have some, you can also see if they will print a custom color for you on IJ8150 which is a clear vinyl.
They still make Rubylith - a company called Ulano makes it and you can still buy it. Also, 3M makes some equivalent films.
Wow..Rubylith... That takes me waaayyy back to the 80's and making masks for my circuits to be printed and mounted on ceramic.
I would substitute theatrical light filter gel such as ROSCOLUX
@@tomtech4224 That would work too, I suggested translucent vinyl, 3M, Avery or Oracal, since you can cut shapes on a plotter and it has an adhesive back.
@@tomtech4224 Totally new to this classic printing process, but I thought it looked like stage light gels.
Adam's faces of excitement as he learns about what they'll be doing bring me life.
bro looked like he was gonna cry and I felt that. lol
@@NitaKerns And then he was told it was his
This is honestly one of the coolest prop replication videos I've ever seen. This is why I love watching Tested and Adam, they just cater to the exact level of nerd I am!
The size of those corner cutter machines compared to how much cutting they're actually doing is absolutely ridiculous. I love it!
They will round the corners of a stack of paper two inches thick. It's a production machine that they are using far below its capacity.
It's made to do a whole bunch of pages at once! Hopefully they baby it, because it's going to be impossible to find dies for it.
My paper cutter has a corner nipper on it, which makes a nice rounded edge, and is great for laminated things. Generally I only nip away the laminate, I think from now on I'm going to do it to the papers before I put them in the pocket too, because wow that looks nice.
I worked at a place that made 3ring binders that had this exact same corner cutter!
@@robertkoestner8081 as did whoever used it to make the original badges
That's what you call: "Old-World Craftsmanship."
It's not only interesting to see these things in action to learn how they work, I also think it's so important to make a record of these kinds of historic processes, lest we forget how to make things in different ways, without the need for computers.
interesting point of view - to some extend, they are using up historical artefacts, on the other hand, they make the best use of them by documenting everything they know.
And the whole documentation adds value to the artifacts: if you display them now in a museum with the video, it has meaning and thus value.
too bad the record is on a computer though
The yellow is a little bit bigger around so there's no paper white showing if the colors are slightly misaligned when printing. That's called 'trapping' and it is relatively simple to do in analog line art with an overexposed original slightly out of focus. The real problem was to do it when things began to become digital (we used computers and laser imagesetters-think of a laser printer that uses the laser to expose offset printing film-to create the offset plates from film). By about mid-1990's we had to create all the trapping digitally, at first by adding outlines to the elements in Adobe Illustrator (yes, it is THAT old) in colors that would print in both plates. In this case, we would create a color that was 100% black and 100% yellow on the outside of the yellow part. It was a nightmare to thing through what color would go 'under' which other color (darker colors would keep the same, but lighter colors should grow towards the darker ones) and by how much (it depended on several things, from the size of the piece-larger prints could shift and swell up, so we'd need wider trapping lines near the edges-to the type of paper-newsprint would stretch and shift during a run, so you'd need even wider trapping lines-to the process of printing-offset is more stable, silkscreening shifts A LOT, especially for big things). Man I miss the old early digital days…
Not only that, but the printer pressure could push the rubber stamp and caused spreading. I remember learning all the nuances of how each feel goes from abdick presses while in print classes, and working in a print shop. The memories that this episode causes is crazy, I'm sure you know what I'm saying
@@shable1436 Pretty sure that is a magnesium plate, or it might be an engraving, either way it is rock solid and the press isn't compressing it like it would a rubber stamp. :)
@@kimaboe there is rubber on some rollers, but if you know about offset printing then why argue? For one they aren't magnesium, that's too expensive, but gravure, aluminum, or something handmade by a specific font specialists has made. The rubber sometimes is put on backplate and not on front, there's many ways to do things and keep the electrons from building up
@@shable1436 Sure, but the press in the video isn't an offset press, even though Adam uses the word a few times to refer to the type of printing they do here (I'm assuming they do in fact run tons of offset work, just not in this specific instance).
This press is a simple relief proof press, with a single steel impression roller. The paper being printed is hitting the relief plate directly, the image is not offset onto a rubber roller and then transferred to the paper as in offset lithography. The packing on the roller is just enough to protect the press, but should be so hard that it has zero give under normal operation.
So, the trapping in this specific instance is only for registration due to plate positioning and to reduce the need for time consuming makeready, not to account for image "squeeze" as you see with other printing methods. Easy distinction to make for us, since we are familiar with the tech, but nice to be specific for anyone learning from the vid :)
And fwiw, magnesium cuts are fairly cheap, I buy them all the time for hot foiling purposes. It would be my first choice for something like this, and you'd get those two plates mailed in a day for about $75. I doubt you'd get an aluminium plate for that same price unless you were doing it inhouse?
I wanted to mention it was trap, which for something like this would be huge. No one wants to spend time lining up the colors or registering the impressions, especially for something the end customer (the movie audience) is never going to get a good look at.
Unless you have tints or halftones you could still burn a fatty on a plate using acetate and frost with film from an imagesetter. Although I do love how easy to do InDesign made it. As someone who still runs an AccuSet 1000, my advice is: Don't miss it too hard. 😅
I LOVE seeing how a prop was originally made.
Please do more of these if possible. Especially capturing the history behind it. This is an art form that does not need to get lost to time.
This video really hit me in the feels, as a newly graduated graphic designer, it really fascinates and moves me to see how props like this where made. I am happy to see that Adam enjoyed it even more than I did!
I've recently re-introduced dry transfer lettering to my projects. I was gutted that I couldn't buy Letraset anymore, but gladly there are alternatives.
The absolute childish glee at 17:20 with "I didn't realize it was going to be mine!" had me in tears!
It's rare these days in our increasingly digital lives to see someone having an experience and *truly* appreciating it in the moment. I think it's no coincidence that it came doing something so unapologetically NOT digital.
Back in the old days when these were made, they probably used a Polaroid Miniportrait ID camera. These have four lenses that can make 4 pictures on the same sheet of film. These cameras used what is called "peel apart" Polaroid film as opposed to the "integral" film that was used on this replication. So the image would have been much thinner and easier to stick down.
I was thinking the whole time "They have to give him one of those. They just have to..." and they did! What a great day for Adam.
My face hurts of smiling looking at Adam being so happy and excited for this prop
as far as all the reproductions Adam has done, nothing could be more authentic that doing it with the OG machines and process.
You have to make the yellow with extra bleed on purpose. Just in case the printer gets off a little, you won't see any white. I've been a designer in the box making industry for 28 years, and you always have to add bleed to the plate that prints into an area with with another color below it.
was this Adam's birthday present or something? Seems HYPER tailored to him, hah.
Electric typewriters-the daisywheel kind, not the Electric 'ball' kind-had to locate the index (the 'zero position' of the type wheel) before working. If the sensor is wonky, it may very well think it was 'home' when it was in some other position, and yeah, it would type a weird Caesar cipher (characters moved over some number of places) if left unchecked. Good to know that turning it off and on could get it to work properly.
I generally don’t care about “antiques” or “authenticity” of objects personally (even though I am a collector myself - in my case, playing cards), but getting an authentic fabrication experience is something I can relate to and seeing Adam being over the moon through this is warming my heart!
The nerd-level here is just unbelievable. Really, really cool.
Loved every minute of this! Every Tested in Earl Hayes is magic!
Thanks to Adam, Michael, Kim, Martin and the staff at Earl Hayes this was just brilliant!🙏😀
one of the best tested videos ever! Seeing the Early Hayes Press has been amazing, I could watch hours and hours of just showing whats in the shop. Michael Corrie does a great job!
I'm so happy for Adam. I know his love for Blade Runner runs deep. I've watched so many of videos on Blade Runner props. I know this meant the world to him This was so awesome to see.
Congratulations, Adam!
Its so wholesome to see Adam this happy and emotional replicating an Original Prop the way it was made with the Machines and Materials that made it back in the day. As a huge fan of Paper and printed props I have to say, that this will most likely forever be my most favourite Video on this channel.
In the right place, with the right people!
It would be so cool if the studio would let sell a limited + numbered run if these!
Sometimes they are blind to what would make them money. They just see toy deals
Though I love the new tech, I miss the old processes and materials. This makes me very happy to have still saved a couple old mechanicals with amberlith still attached.
Thanks for this one; this was a real nostalga trip for me.
Growing up around the family printshop I learned many of the basics as a kid/teen and would often do small projects like this for school. Shop may have closed in '99 but I was just telling stories about it to my niece last night.
Thanks again.
I've emailed Tested already but seeing Adam's glee at printing processes makes me want to tell them AGAIN to visit the International Printing Museum in Carson CA. It's incredible and I know they'd let him play with all of their (functional!) equipment.
And for anyone anywhere near Carson, with a couple hours to spare, I promise a visit is worth the trip.
Wow, printing like that is a dying art form. They should make and sell these to help with the cost of cataloging, they would make a fortune also. I'll buy one !
Amazing! When I was healthy this is the stuff I wanted to do. Prop and FX is Hollywood. Oh well. Love watching these tools-of-the-trade videos.
It's interesting to see the closeup of the back of the badge at 20:20. There is a typo in the English, "American Penal Coed". Perhaps that was an intentional joke.
The Japanese is random words though mostly university names or related. It starts off as "Toyo Art School 3505 B. Chiyoda Japan Kogakuin Specialist School etc." No relation to the English except for the "3505 B".
I sense a Rick Deckert cosplay sometime in the near future.
The joy Adam is experiencing is palpable. I hope there are still more Earl Hayes videos coming!
I absolutely LOVE the videos so far in this place, and it makes me wonder what they have from some of MY favorite films. Maybe some stuff from the old Raimi Spider-Man films like a Daily Bugle newspaper or something. That would be awesome to see.
This is a gift to watch. To know Adam’s love of blade runner, and to duplicate it with original machines is so satisfying to see.
Designing with people in mind, acknowledging the typical variations that may occur in manual processes. It's just incredible that no machine can imitate it.
It's not that a machine can't, but there's often no reason for it to. We do humanizing algorithms for a lot of software that produce pseudo random "errors" to give a natural feel. But that's not what most people want from a machine.
Adam, this must have been a dream come true for you! Congrats!
Part of me really hopes that they let Adam have one of those badges with his own picture and signature on it.
That printing press looks like the swiss-made proofing press we had in high school (I went to high school for printing and paper-making technologies here in my country). Main difference between regular presses and proofing presses is in the way forms are locked on the base plate rather than inside a frame.
I thought it was a Vandercook press
@@rickv1007 Vandercook is correct, and a power-carriage adjustable-bed model too, like a Universal III.
@@rickv1007 It's possible. But definitely a proofing press. :)
@@hillside21 Ours was an FAG-120 :) Swiss-made.
A particularly wholesome video.
Adam had no idea what he was in for. Fantastic!
How do you start doing this kind of stuff and what does it take love what you're doing Adam keep up the good work
Love seeing Adam so happy to receive an unobtainable film prop.
Can’t wait to see more film prop history.
this was so much cooler than I imagined it would be when I read the title
That "bleed over" is a trap. Without it, the press operator would have a nightmare of a time registering the yellow within the knockout space.
I have to say that this has to be the coolest shiz I've seen on this channel man I bet he felt awesome holding that badge at the end of it all.
They should've printed Adam's face out on the Polaroid Printer, and have his name written on the ID, that would be so cool for a Deckard-Savage cosplay omg!!!
I can't imagine Adam didn't leave there that day without a badge with a photo of himself from the 80's.
The thrill you can see in Adam is priceless. I wish I was as lucky to experience these types of things.
I own the last surviving laminated paper badge from Blade Runner. The photo Micheal shows Adam about 12 minutes in is a picture of the badge in my display which I shared with him on the rpf. Hopefully one day I will be able to display a new pull from these cuts next to the screen-used piece.
Man my heart would be sunk in shock wow this is awesome glad you were able to travel 40yrs back.
The writing on the back is Japanese, and is basically gibberish: the names of various schools & places in Tokyo. Basically Japanese "Lorem Ipsum".
As wonderful as Adam's reactions throughout this video are, it's Micheal's disposal of the leftover glue at 13:40 that had us going "Hah! Same!!"
Very cool. Archival EVA might be better than "white glue" if you're concerned about acidity wrecking and yellowing the card (book binder experience).
Thank you Adam for sharing this. I am in my seventies and I worked a similar press process as a young lad. I share your enthusiasm for the process and the memories.
*I'm wondering if Adam has set up a tent with a cot yet so he can live here for a while. This is one place where Adam would be happy spending the rest of his life.*
This series is amazing. Two genuine enthusiasts showing their love of the industry.
Fun to see. I loved the movie and when I got out of college I worked for the Washington State Department of Printing with all those wonderful presses for four years. Thanks 🔪🎸
My favorite part of this is that I can imagine Michael as he's discovering this process thinking to himself "I have to bring Adam here and share this with him."
The magic of cinema is not the movie itself, are all those little details hidden behind the screen, and how hundreds of people on the different realization teams could bring fantastic worlds alive.
Watching Adam geek out over things never fails to be the highlight of my day. Thank you for sharing.
The guide fences on the floor-standing corner cutter are pretty tall. I wonder what it's like to do a full stack on that thing.
I must admit I teared up a couple of times. Nice job.
Was it raining? 😁
Is someone cutting onions?
*Do you realize that you can charge people a lot of money to go there and learn the old ways of making those movie props and possibly make some props like Adam just did! Charge different rates depending on what they want to learn and make. Charge like $500 to $1,000 to do what Adam just did and that includes all the material to make the props and the staff time to teach and show you, etc... This is a one-off experience you can't get anywhere else in the world.* *Imagine making a piece of the prop from your favorite movie(s)!* *Every time they go back they can make something different!* *Have limits to how many people can come there for this experience on any given day. People will have to Schedule appointments in advance so you guys can properly prepare the right materials for whatever someone wishes to make and learn.* *List on your website all the things they can do/make and add new things constantly.* *Take votes on what should be added next.*
As a printmaker, watching Adam geek out at this process was especially fulfilling! Print is great!
Damn - I just threw out a box full of amberlith and rubylith tape. Had not used it in decades and found it while moving. I never even thought of selling it. Oops. Back from the days when I was a stripper (as in printing, not dancing...)
It’s amazing to see people keeping this craft alive!
It would’ve been cool to see him make the same exact one with his photo Adam savages photo in it
Never comment on this channel as Adam will never see it. But, Adam, I have never seen you so happy making something so simple. I too would have been in absolute heaven! What an experience. Too think it was with all original equipment and media too!
I never knew there was a typo on the back of the ID. It says penal COED instead of penal CODE. Thanks for sharing Adam!
As having spent years as a digital Artworker my eye always jumps to reading text and seeing that on the prop made me smile.
Adam, I think I felt some of the excitement you felt in the studio by watching this! Amazing process!
This is like going back in time.
That was thrilling to watch. 😌 But wait, you can't get Amberlith anymore? I'd swear I saw a photolitho supply place selling tubes just a few years ago. I've got a tube of Rubylith I got for making transparencies for exposing silkscreens. Sometimes the old ways remain the best. 😉👌 (And omg Adam, I so miss dry transfers!!!)
I'm assuming that the two (2) spelling mistakes on the back of the identification card ("coed" for "code" and "probhibits" for "prohibits") are intentional for screen accuracy? Although, if that is the case, what is up with the number designation showing as "J 5144-955" (instead of "B-263-54")?
They shouldn't have listened to Kim. There's NOTHING more immersion breaking than a screenshot from a movie being used as ID. Remember in Aliens when they show the 'Crew ID' in the background at the trial? And it's just random screenshots from the movie? People don't wear the exact same clothes their entire life. The probability of you seeing someone in exactly the same outfit as their ID is near zero. It's just lazy. I get she put effort into shooping it up, but seriously, that right there ruins the value, purpose, and import of making these ID's as authentic as possible. It straight up is a terrible idea.
20:19 A good example of "That'll do" in the movie industry... the die for the back of the ID has transposed letters in the word "CODE" so that it actually reads, "COED". Did someone catch it in Blade Runner Production and said "That'll do", or was it even noticed? We'll probably never know.
The hell? The Japanese Kanji and the English text on the back of the ID don't mean the same thing 😂.
Its basically just a bunch of generic words for different departments you'd find at a university, ending with "Tokyo Picture" 🤣
I think it's wonderful that, for whatever reason, there are people in this world that are keeping the old ways running. We might need them sooner than we think. Brilliant stuff as ever.
"And then, Adam... we have Harrison Ford here to pose for the ID photo, but not old Harrison, we've gone back in time and gotten Blade Runner aged Harrison to make this ID totally legit." Speaking of younger Harrison Ford, the younger Indy in the new Indiana Jones movie was done really well. Normally that stuff stands out to me, but they made it look very natural in the Dial of Destiny.
In the late 2000s, in college, our professor had a project he wanted us to do and said, "go down to the [locally owned art supply store] and get some amberlith and rubylith"
We were like, "oh okay"
So each of us, in our own time before the next class, went down to buy some.
A few students got both, a few students got one, and the rest of us got none. This was because, as stated in the video, they stopped making it.
The shop basically said "we don't have anymore and we will never be getting anymore."
The professor, of course, had to amend his lesson plans that year based on this information.
So if anyone out there is frustrated about a lack of rubylith or amberlith in the wild, just know that some old graphic design professor, instead of updating his lesson plans, had been having students waste it for a decade or more.
So very cool! Question: is the spelling error on the back - "...AMERICAN PENAL COED..." ( you can see it at 20:18) there on purpose so it's easy to tell it's a replica?
When movies make a "behind the scenes" featurette for the Blu-Ray, they show how much detail goes into the CGI, its layers etc. We can comprehend the time spent, the skill involved plus more and think old movies where not technical.
But when I see examples of techniques used, the practical effects and props had a very high standard and the skills required were not taught, they had to rob Peter to pay Paul and be a jack of all trades.
I'm almost certain that the Polaroid format they used for the original was peel-apart (664 or similar), not exactly the integral format (I-type, probably) they used here. But hey, it's as close as it gets, I guess. :)
Not to be a total dick, but I have purchased amberlith and rubylith within the last 2 decades, (in fact Amazon sells the later) and the yellow plate was not cut "too big", I am quite sure it was created with a bleed, so the black would trap it and not risk it not aligning. The person that prepped the artwork, probably expected the yellow to be printed first, with the black plate coming along afterwards and trapping the yellow with a slight overlap.
IDK why they didn't make an Adam Savage ID... maybe they did off camera, but that would be the piece of life.
20:18 - Just noticed that the badge doesn't say "PENAL CODE PROHIBITS" on the back, it reads "PENAL COED PROBHIBITS".
The adding of the bleed on the orange 8 symbol is a deliberate part of the pre-press process. The term we used is a 'spread' or a 'trap'. On any press, particularly a commercial press running at high speed, a spread is necessary in this particular scenario to ensure that misregistration of one solid colour (in this case a 'spot' orange) to another does not result in a visible white gap between the orange and the black. Typically the amount of spread in this case would be somewhere between 0.1 mm and 0.3 mm. So totally correct and deliberate.
By print it out as a polaroid , if it's what I think it is, then that's litterally true. There are these little photo "printers" that take polaroid, or other instant photo, paper and exposes it from a display. It makes for a really tiny printer like device with few moving parts that produces instant photo quality prints. Downside being it's quite expensive per print since it's photo sensitive self developing paper. There's also, in my opinion, some really dumb cameras which are just a digital camera with one of these stuck in the same shell.
There are two typos in the printing on the back: penal "coed" and "probhibits." Surprising those would have been cut into a steel die used to make these, but apparently it was. Very interesting tidbit, and something I don't believe we ever see on screen in the film anyway.
aahhh..takes me back to my good old college days doing graphic design. Sadly, computers took over and it put me off following this career. I loved the old methods of printing.
Working for a print shop, I would pay massive amounts of money for that vintage corner rounder. It is heavy, space consuming, but works so much better than the hand corner rounders made today.
I saw the video Props To History did on his own channel. You know now that you posted this folks are going to want their own. I am sure Earl Hays Press can't do reprint commissions. Not to mention the issues of licensing.
I definitely did not expect you cutting corners so much during replication of such a recognisable prop!
...
Sorry, I just had to 😉
There's nothing better than coming home after a hard days work and having a new Adam video in the feed. Thanks for making my day 100% better.
