@@station240 SONY's marketing should try and keep the original in peoples minds like they have been doing but they should wait on trying to promote AFTERLIFE until closer to to the release date. All the hype can easily die down if they over promote it now.
I always was impressed with the soft neon glow effect on the particle weapons, slime and ghosts. It's not cartoony enough to look fake, but not realistic enough to look some normal weapon/effect.
Yes they did it just right. I quit watching the Blu Ray version of Ghostbusters right after they trapped Slimer. It looked ridiculous with the upgraded CGI Blu Ray shit. I rather watch Ghostbusters on VHS, it looked more realistic.
The props, piratical effects, and optical effects still look fantastic to this day. It is incredible what they have achieved for this film under such time constraint given the newly formed effects company. The Boss FIlm Studios was started by Richard Edlund (ex-ILM), and the short timeline e.g. only ten months to build the effects studio, shoot the scenes and composite the images. The Ghostbusters SFX also have a 'warmth' and charm that was kinda lost in Ghostbusters II SFX which was then handled by ILM.
I think the GB1 VFX hold up maybe better than any other film's from the time, certainly better than ILM's work on GB2, and I think it's because the GB1 effects do have that chaotic charm and humor baked in. I hope the VFX crew for the new flick have watched this.
They balanced the effect to work and not just using 1 type. They made it the effects work better on certain scenes. They minimised animation to only cater for a few clips mixed with a little animatronics and costume plus make up.
I love behind the scenes stuff from my favourite film. It's cool to hear about how it all came together to be the epic movie Ghostbusters fans know and love.
Ghostbusters might be the finest example of catching lightening in a bottle. The director, actors/writers, special effects, theme song and Elmer Bernsteins score all just perfectly meshed to create one of the most unique movies ever. While I like GB2 I felt like the score and special effects just seemed off.
The biggest complement I can give the FX guys is that for someone who was into how movies were made. I did not give a thought to any of that when I was watching Ghostbuster. I just watched and enjoyed the movie, and I can't wait to see Afterlife, the real third Ghostbusters movie.
I’m loving the Freemason symbolism Brick wall in background and black and white checkerboard floor. When you know what to look for it’s hard not to realize your not looking
In my opinion, these special effects used back at 1984 are way creepier and scarier than today's CGI. CGI to me, just doesn't provide the same suspension of disbelief anymore. I was born in 1979, so Ghostbuster is a part of my childhood's pop culture. I can still remember being freaked out and scared out of my wits as a small child back then, while trying to watch Ghostbusters.
"Gozer the Traveler. He will come in one of the pre-chosen forms. During the rectification of the Vuldrini, the traveler came as a large and moving Torg! Then, during the third reconciliation of the last of the McKetrick supplicants, they chose a new form for him: that of a giant Slor! Many Shuvs and Zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, I can tell you!"
Haha, I always enjoyed listening to Rick Moranis saying these lines. His face and acting was perfect for that part. I don't think anyone else could pull it off other than Rick Moranis. It's like he was born just to make that movie.
I remember this from one of the later home releases. I just wished they show a bit more of the process being done (if the footage existed). I would’ve loved to see the proton streams actually being drawn, animated and composited. That’s greedy I know. But I can wish. It’s weird to me that both times Boss Films did VFX for now-classic movies and got Oscar nominated, they were then passed over in favor of ILM for the sequels: Ghostbusters and DieHard. My thinking is ILM was (justifiably) all the rage at that point and were on a streak at that time.
This is really a great insight, I always believed the movie was based on some comic but turns out this movie was it's original thing with original designs. Granted inspired by some other movies and being as a nod to such but still original enough. So I guess it gained more respect in my book then what originally had.
Though I don't think Aykroyd was aware of it, there was a Ghost Busters cartoon back in the '70s that had two guys plus a gorilla named Tracy chasing ghosts. They bought the rights to the name when they made the film. However, Filmation re-released the cartoon (and a new series of toys) in the mid-1980s to capitalize on the success of the film. Columbia countered by releasing a cartoon based on the characters from the movie and called it The Real Ghostbusters.
What the hell you doin!? I knew it, she gave such a convincing performance. I knew something was not right, for an old actress she dove down lightning fast!
Ghostbusters was the first movie I ever saw in theaters. I was 4 years old, soon to be 5. That scene where Slimer goes after Venkman down the hall scared me. I wasnt scared by any other scenes, even the librarian. After the movie my mom and dad asked the usher if we could stay for the next showing. Just until the Slimer scene. So I could confront my fears. My parents explaining special effects to 4 year old me. And why I shouldn't be afraid. We left after that scene. Which didn't scare me this time and I have ever since loved the movie. :)
Heated Teflon table top with air canons underneath the eggs. Air shoots the egg out and cooks instantly on the hot counter top once they make contact. If you watch the scene again you'll see the bag of marshmallows melting due to the heat.✌🏼👻👻👻
Eighties special effects and sculptor's,are the best are the best_chain smoking cigarette's hanging out of their mouth's while creating their works..lol
practical / optical FX will ALWAYS look better and more realistic because it IS real. Because it is actually photographed and blends in so much better with the live action scenes. CGI effects just never work that good because it takes a LOT more time to get the lighting done. And the lighting is what makes a CGI effect work or become uncanny valley. Practical Effects just look a lot more like the human eye would expect it as normal. Which keeps the suspension of disbelief intact.
back then u had to call the best of the groups around!now they just cgi the shit out of everything!crappy explosions with no concusion waves and baddies that got 20 henchmen that dies in the 1st half of the movie!
There's no consistency in the design of the ghosts in Ghostbusters - the taxi driver looks like an entirely different species than Slimer, for instance. It's like the VFX team went to a Spirit Halloween superstore and grabbed one of everything. Similar in a lot of ways to the generic mask fest in the Star Wars cantina
I love they're posting all these older videos for everyone see.
Same
Kinda need to, as the new movie is delayed till 2021 due to the cinemas being closed etc.

While I like Ghostbusters 2, I felt like the special effects and the score weren't as good.
Its mind blowing they look brand new
Formed in September 1980, Boss Film Studios is a member of the EEG.
That cabdriver scared the hell out of me when I was little.
Same lol
Incredible. You can't beat the props and practical special effects from the 80s.
36 years later, and the effects still hold up! Mind boggling I was eleven years old back then.
That's the magic of quality practical effects. They age like fine wine, and continue to look great

Yeah, really cool to watch this now. Ghostbusters forever!
The perfect blend of horror and comedy.
It's awesome to find out how the unique ghouls and explosive special effects for our ghostbusting film!
The first two were so wonderful because they were of their time. Pure magic
Steve Johnson would do Fright Night a year later. Still some of his best work

Ghostbusters is one of the first movies I point to when it comes to film effects that hold up incredibly well.
pure art
Both ghostbusters 1 and 2 had the most impressive special and visual effects for the 80s and 90s
The power of practical effects. It's easier to act with something that is there than a computer generated thing that has to built around your acting.
I’m loving the Freemason symbolism

To who ever is creating these videos. I'm amazed that some of it is in stereo. Much appreciated.

Love this! Thank u so much for posting this.

I always want to see how they makes the ghost and it's amazing
Love this! childhood right here!

They didn't show how they made the cab driver...😞
That was created by makeup effects genius Steve Johnson. Creating it helped him land the gig on the movie.
@@mattdawg83686 I think he made it in like 24 or 48 hours. They also had a crude mask made for the stuntman driving the cab.
What? He's in the thumbnail! That's a crime!
Some legends sitting there.

I know Thaine Morris. He's one of the coolest, most laidback kind of guy in the world yet when it comes to building stuff, there's no one better!
Why is slimmer the most iconic charector even though he was only shown twice
Great vid!!
I like the special effects in the film. 😀👍👻
@Flat Bastard Engineering Channel me too. 😀👍👻
This is awesome.
Nice
But... how did they do the egg scene!!!?? The cooking part is a flat top and heated below, but the eggs popping out...
They prescored the eggs with a tiny saw and then covered up the cracks with a bit of plaster. Air hoses were used to make the yolks pop out.
Pretty Amazing Stuff!!! 💥
It's funny that the maid was unaware of the exploding cart,😂
My blu-ray digibook of 1,2 Ghostbusters will be delivered very soon. I'm waiting!!!
What the hell you doin!?

If you take most of the footage of the original Ghostbusters without main characters and their song, you could think it's a high quality horror movie.
oh venkman says positron collider in the movie not positron glider, now i get it
the good old days
A whole bunch of my heroes here.

Anyone know what year this video is from? Looks like late 90s maybe for the first DVD
