We cannot WAIT for you guys to come back!
You are absolutely amazing, I’m so glad I got to see another episode with you and Corridor
You were also the reason why I appreciate film so much and got me into both film and theater in Highschool
Adam Savage's Museum of Fine Arts & Crafts When??
I wouldn't be mad at having this be a weekly or bi-weekly thing. Love that you and the Crew are becoming such good friends through mutual respect and interest in your crafts. Stay awesome Adam!
They better!
Adam is truly one of a kind and getting a tour of the Cave was an honor!! It’s so easy to feed off his infectious energy and feel like you belong when he’s around.
We filmed another collab video with him testing “Practical vs VFX” so stay tuned for that in a couple weeks!!
Enjoy your bit
Wren, I love you guys, you are all awesome!! You and the crew inspired my passion for VFX ❤
Yea he's lovely
Such a chill dude, and a good teacher
we need more plz ...
i felt the same just watching! that was pretty magical
I love that he has stories for every single detail of the pieces he showcased, and didnt miss to credit the people who built or worked on these amazing pieces.
It makes me wonder if he somehow just remembers everything about every object in his workshop. There's so much stuff, it's insane!
It'd be funny though if there were things that have been there so long even he doesn't remember where it came from. "Oh yeah, that thing is.....um.....actually, I'm not entirely sure where it came from, it kinda just showed up. But it's so cool, right!?"
I bet he spent days and days rehearsing and remembering all the things he's gonna show, memorizing names, dates, it's like a self-induced history lesson lmao
yep, that's me he represents
Adam Savage has the energy of a 13 year old, how does he do it?
The only word that ever comes to mind whenever I see a video with Adam is 'Joy'. He's so friendly and excited, and passionate about props, and you know there's a huge bank of knowledge and skill backing it all up. I'd defintely pick him as one of the people I'd want to have dinner with.
Warning: Thats a scam. Don't do it.
@@DigitalzombieDev the scammer didn’t even align the profile picture correctly 😂
he seems like the nicest guy ever. What a joy it is to watch the old and new gens come together like that
I assume you wouldn’t like the words “the raping blob”
lol
This is the guy who's living his dream. Look at his eyes, his eyes are beaming with passion and love for his craft. Gosh, I envy him so much lmao.
for real. he might be having the most fun of anyone on the planet just day to day. im jealous
yo that's what I noticed first, like damn he's not "working", he's living. so enthusiastic. I envy him.
All great but, why Lmao
Watch his channel because his eyes beam even brighter as he makes all his props.
And he had to WORK for that shit, this is well deserved success
One episode is NOT enough. Adam Savage is the Wikipedia of everything movies. The man LOVES his work. Please make him a regular on Corridor.
Heck, see if he'd be able to make a couple of props for a video. Could be one of his "1 day" builds even.
There's a longer cut on the website btw.
Corridor Digital. Let's greenlight a series on Adam Savage's Cave!
I second this movement!
@@BaldMancTwat It's only 4 minutes longer. We want a FULL hours long uncut tour.
Adam probably loved to have two equally-excited guys to nerd out with. He's excited to show off his collection, and they're just as excited to talk about the collection.
Wren and Nico are as excited to visit Adam Savage as Adam Savage was to visit Peter Jackson.
i think Adam recognizes that Wren and Nico both have a passion for film that reminds him of himself when he was younger
It would probably be the most memorial and the valuable gift from the one of whom they actually dream of, in their entire life. Also this will be the one of the rare valuable artifacts to their grandkids with reminders of the beautiful time of their life.
I actually feel very happy seeing how excited and passionate Wren and Niko are onto this❤️
I love how much he knows about all these props- how they are made, why they are made that way, who made them, what the maker was like, etc. It's incredible. You can tell how much he loves this. All his stories are studded with him just going and asking, contacting people, befriending artists from all over. What a totally awesome dude!
Adams “collection” could easily be a museum. If I had one last wish before dying, touring his place would be in my top 5 choices of things to do.
I was having the same feeling.
Totally agree, it's my dream to tour his cave.
It's a fine collection
What if Adam, in his will, specified exactly that? His collection be displayed in some sort of museum or a dedicated museum for his collection. Portions of ticket sales could go towards different things. Maintaining the place, paying a few employees, and then everything left for putting towards scholarships or money for young folks wanting to get into Engineering, Prop work, visual effects, arts, etc... Some sort of charity. That'd be pretty sweet
That'd be a my wishlist too
Adam savage is one of the coolest people on the planet
I want him to be my dad
Without a doubt!
by far
@@blammela Me, too, and I'm older than he is!
And in real life, too.
Wren and Niko look like two kids with their cool grandpa. Im so happy that out of all the years humas have been around, ive lived during the most interesting part of Adam Savages nerdy life. This for real nerd and prop makers is what you call the ultimate fan.
The world doesn't deserve Adam Savage. Boundless energy and enthusiasm. Seems like such an amazing human.
I actually teared up a little when he gave you guys those bits. His generosity & genuineness just leaps off the screen. We need more Adam Savages in this world.
Most definitely. What a exemplary guy he is.
teared up a little during the students that replicated the alien thingy moment
Damn straight my guy, I aspire to be somewhere as creative, as kind, and as... awesome, as Adam savage
"I'm not that interested in collecting the real thing because I wanna hand you the thing." This is a passion for the craft and the art and the effort it takes to make these, and honestly keeping the practice alive is a much better way to honor it than a museum-like collection.
I very much share Adam's drive to hold the object and have it FEEL like it's actually real. Have it weigh down my hands in the way only true materials can do.
I agree with this. I wouldn't care about having the actual product because you would always have to handle it with extreme care, always leave in the wrapper and never gaze upon it yourself. If I buy something I want to use it!
And when he dies, they're all going in a museum behind glass.
@@MostlyPennyCat If you wanna share this at scale, you need a prop repair team around. I have a local videogame museum that does it this way, it works but they have to be at it round the clock. If enough museums start sharing our culture this way, more spare parts will be produced and it will be easier to maintain lots of things for all of us :-) !
@@MostlyPennyCat He ain't gonna die.
Adam Savage is a national treasure.
I'd go so far as to say that Adam Savage is an *international* treasure .
Indeed
Really....
@@richardashton5015 Yes. Really.
Two of my all time favorite channels!
I love how Adams hair is all crazy. It perfectly fits his vibe.
Ikr vibing 👌
Fun little fact, he adores the muppets and sympathetic movement, he has the exact same thing in his hair
@Don't Read My Profile Photo ok, i wont
Doc. Brown aesthetic
Same vibes with James Gunn
Regarding the space suits not being a solved problem I think it's cool this was published in the same week that NASA announced new space suit suppliers in part because they spent 15 years trying to develop the xEMU space suit into a working design and failed.
Great Scott!
What is it with science communicators being so ready to dump on NASA for every little thing. They decided it's not worth pushing the envelope more. Their budget is shit. The almost 20 years spent developing the new variations of suits was proportional to the amount of money they could fraction from their already full plate. Geesh.
Great, now three of my favourite channels/persons interacting… I can die now. But maybe I’ll stick around for the neat eye candy quirks of Corridor, the witty insights of Scott “hullo” Manley when Spaceship launches and the ever so interesting builds and stories of Adam.
Scott Manley commenting about space suits on Corridor Crew featuring Adam Savage is everything I didn't know I needed in a UA-cam video. Scott, you and Adam should do a video together!
Hello there!
I like how Adam Savage is a man of value. "It took him 14 years and 10 THOUSAND dollars". That is not a lot of money. He really knows how to create value from the materials he uses. Quiz on Thursday.
The best part is that it was a setup to the high school prop. Like he wasn't saying it for his benefit, it was the setup for the high school story, which is incredible.
The fact that everybody involved is so clearly excited to actually be there together is straight up infectious!! PLEASE more collabs!
This honestly, by the end, made me emotional. It's so special to see just how kind someone like Adam is. When he gave you both those bits, it was seriously such a great moment.
Yeah me too. I glued myself in front of the TV after school to watch mythbusters
You’re not alone! I was tearing up!
When they say "Never meet your heroes" it for sure doesn't apply to Adam Savage.
i got goosebumps
Adam savage is like one of the greatest builders ever
There's something magical about Adam; he has such an enchanting, unfiltered passionate joy. He has managed to hold onto the purity of curiosity and creativity that usually weakens with growing up but he makes sure to share it with the world.
This is what a person who absolutely loves what they're doing looks like.
Adam Savage geeking out and getting full-on excited over a prop high school teenagers made is the best kind of affirmation for any creative soul out there. That energy of no-holds-barred appreciation has made my day. This was such a nice episode. It's always a treat to watch a feature with any professional so in love with what they do.
"I am fascinated by Human's ability to engineer their environment to be better".
This. Just might be my favorite takeaway from this video.
Adam truly is a grown man who never lost his inner child.
I love him so much. He's such a fantastic guy.
I could listen to him describe and show off his props for hours.
and the best part is that you actually can lol
Niko and Wren’s eyes are like twinkling at the intro, like they’re kids in a candy store which is probably what they felt in this video! This was awesome!!
Wow The part about the amazing highschool kids who did the alien production made me tear up a bit. I felt proud and idk why. The way adam helped them get recognized and kept their prop among all of the other great ones from actual movies was heartwarming! Looking forward to more episodes with Adam please!!! 🥹
Thanks! I was part of the crew of high school kids that made that play haha it was awesome!
@@tristanduchesne6433 hello!! You guys are amazing!! Right after this video I watched the ones where Adam received and wore the dallas spacesuit you guys made and the tour of your school with your teacher! And of course the play as well!! It really was awesome! I love the huge hulk statue and the iron throne that you guys made!!! Keep up the good work and good luck to all of your plans in the future! You’re very talented!
😁😁
They are, most definitely, kindred spirits.
You can just absolutely notice the amount of respect Niko has for Adam. The way he silently listens in awe, asking only super nerdy questions and smiling like a 10 year old when Adam's answering. Adam is our hero and thank you so much for this video!!!
Adam always seems to speak so eloquently and beautifully when talking about his passions in life. You could literally just listen to him talk all day and never once be bored
I love that Adam has that school's Alien helmet and is proud to show it off and talk about it like the rest of his prop collection.
It shows that talent is talent and you can showcase it on a budget, and the people that know about the field will respect it all the same
i find it so cool that from the one small act of him tweeting about that performance snowballed into some of the kids getting scholarships
I think what he primarily likes about the whole story is, that it shows that everyone can do something like this as long as they are dedicated enough, because especially as teens what you lack in tools and money and experience you can compensate with having enough time.
He once shared a story about a teen who made his own Iron Man helmet by starting with one of those paper cutout things that you glue into an actual 3D helmet made of paper and then cover the whole thing with layers and layers of plaster or bondo and painstakingly sanded it down and into shape to the point that it had a smooth surface that he could paint it. It was an insanely inefficient and time-consuming process, but it did cost him basically nothing and the result was really good.
And that Talent RESPECTS Talent- there wasn't any jealousy or anger, just game recognizing game.
This could have been 4 hours long and I would have my face stuck in a smile by the end of it. Thanks guys for this video!
More like this could be a Disney+ series and they could get me to subscribe.
The actual TOUR was about four hours long ...
@@tested can we have the unedited episode? xD
@@tested I would love to go on a pilgrimage in your cave Mr. Savage.
@@gregorybalint I think it's on corridor digital
The 1958 computer part got to me.. My dad's retired Air Force and worked on the SR71 and U2, both that came out in the late 50's and did amazing things taking extremely high resolution images FAR behind enemy lines.. Could you imagine what they could do if they upgraded the SR71 to modern tech? (The U2 already has been and continues to get regular upgrades, the SR retired in 1990, though finally cutting of the funds happened in 1998. Officially the two NASA owns stopped flying in 1999 but they've unofficially been seen/heard flying numerous times since then.)
Beautiful planes both. Think how long the B52 has been flying with various upgrades.
@@kenmcvittie9214 1955
Wren and Niko are absolutely adorable with how reverent and excited they are about hanging out with Adam Savage. This has "kid in a candy store" all over it. By far the most genuine and heartwarming video I've seen on the channel. This is the video that got me subscribed to the website.
Adam is such a special guy, we need more people like him with that insatiable curiosity. Thank you guys for keeping that spirit alive in your own way!
@Paradopx you're we need to be like him because there is a saying that "if you want to do something do it yourself" or something like because if you want more good in the world you have to help do it than do nothing.
Adam and Vsauce are the two that always come to mind when I think of the word curiousity!
….agreed!
OMG THIS IS THE CROSSOVER THAT I'VE WAITED FOR!!! CGI AND PRACTICAL, TOGETHER! Love you guys both, Corridor and Adam! ❤
YES, so much! They're awesome!
the dudes are gods of their works
YES YES YES, I NEEDED THISSSS
Adam is the best, i love his videos of the cave, now here with corridor... just chills
No marvel or starwars crossover can stand this one Lol
This is, without a doubt, one of my favorite videos on your channel. Adam Savage is already a dear favorite of mine, but to then step into his personal collection and be able to share all of your passions together in a feedback loop? So absolutely amazing. Can't wait to see more!
Can’t help but smile when I see how excited Adam is about all of his cool stuff
I know right. you can have a lot of different opinions about him but, the genuine joy you can see them having together is nice to see.
And I can’t help but get jealous that I don’t wave a warehouse, even half the size of Adams, packed with movie memorabilia that would leave me glassy eyed. I probably speak for a lot of us.
This is officially, hands down the coolest video Corridor Crew has ever released. Thank you Adam Savage!!
I agree! The whole video had me smiling because of how wholesome it was to see the guys react to Adam and his stories.
I really want these two channels to merge more often-insanity.
The Adam Savage's of the world make me so happy. He always looks like a kid in a candy shop talking his favorite things. Another great video guys!
I wish this was a weekly/monthly segment. I bet it would take years for Adam to go through his entire collection with you guys. Like Wren said, every direction you look, there's something amazing. Adam was so stoked on how stoked you all were. We need more of this.
"I'm not interested in collecting the real thing because I want to hand you the thing" Spoken like a true artist 😂
I've never really had a "fangirl/fanboy" moment but with Adam I would. He seems like the absolute COOLEST guy to spend hours talking with! I'm so jealous of you guys!
You would have to pry me out of that shop cause I wouldn't want to leave, I wanna see everything.
Ironically, I've never had it for anybody (as you said, Adam would be an exception), but I've fangirled hard when finally seeing some cars...
Adam's OCD to organization and making compartments for things makes him my spirit animal.
You know what I find utterly awesome?
When Adam shows his Alien helmet and mentions how his replica took so much time and money; and then, with the happiest smile, he presents the helmet from the high schoolers right alongside it, and agrees with the assesment that they look so similar on camera. Like he clearly has just as much pride in owning the high school prop as he does his own, and holds it in equal regard. That story about Ridley Scott going to see their production himself and bringing Sigourney Weaver just makes me so happy.
The amount of positive energy in this video is unbelievable lmao
Another 20 minutes of this and it can probably cure worldwide depression, no cap.
Adam Savage is a treasure. I can listen to him talk and geek out about stuff all day
Glad to see prop masters like Savage giving Weta Workshop their due. They r the legends of practical props.
I could seriously watch Adam Savage gush over his collection for hours. He's got so many interesting tid bits of information about everything he owns, I swear.
It's so awesome seeing you all together!
Just needs you in the middle Bill and we are set for a goodtime !
@@Xartas07 yes. Exactly my thoughts. Bill was dearly missed. Oh! I have an idea. How about Coridor visits Bill's shop ?! =)
I'd love to see Niko and Wren to go back and do a 1 day build with Adam. (make a prop they will end up using in a new SFX and CGI short)
Yes!
Yes!!!!
That would be such a cool idea!
oh you just wait.
100% this has to happen
18:12 Sharklunk!
He should start up a (private) museum for all his belongings.
Adam's so freaking cool. He's one of those people in the world that can say he changed people's lives around the globe, for better.
He's not only "famous", but he's a great person too, and that's why I think he's one of the most beloved people out there!
I love how there are so many different "walkthroughs" of adams props and his shop and for every video, they never seem to run out of new things to show.
There's so many gems in this I don't even know where to start. Adam is just the coolest guy, it makes me happy to see people like him helping brighten this crazy world.
Dude, this guy... It's a gift to have someone like Adam giving away all his stories and knowledge, simply amazing!
I would absolutely love to meet Adam Savage. He seems like such a genuinely cool and down to earth dude
From what I've heard about people at cons meeting him, he really is fantastic
I'm almost in tears watching you guys. I would be just as excited as you to be there taking to Adam. I'm around the same age as you guys, so it's cool to make the connection and realize that these films, and the people who created them, have truly connected so many people in ways we don't even know. So awesome. I can't wait for another one!
That mold sprew on the kids helmet is a warhammer sprew. If you have a warhammer kid on your craft squad you’re good 😂
When Adam Savage geeks out I can't help but smile. The man just loves this stuff so much and he has so many stories. Just wonderful.
18:28 the precise moment when wren decided to make "VFX artist reveals the TRUE SCALE of DATA STORAGE!"
This man is a oracle; almost got it word by word
@@aguhy7945 no need to thank me im just built different
I love watching Adam talk about his stuff. His joy is kind of infectious.
This was an utter delight, thank you both so much for collaborating and sharing it!
I love Adam, and I love that he's finally showing people around his cave. Hearing him over the years talk about how he loves showing people all his things and showing us the audience is markedly different to actually watch him talk about his collection and show it to people actually in the room with him, I got a proxy high from his own excitement and Wren and Nikos too
Adam obviously loves his collection, but I think he loves others interacting with it so much more! Truly a great man
Half the fun of having such cool toys is getting to show them off and let other people play with them. After seeing him have to physically restrain himself from doing the same thing on the farmhouse set of Ghostbusters Afterlife, it's not at all surprising that he gets joy from others playing with his stuff.
Some cool guys who do what they love meet another super cool guy who does what he loves. This was the perfect episode and the enthusiasm, passion and pure joy is infectious. Such a joy to watch.
What an incredibly cool guy. Genuinely so delightful to watch Adam talk about this stuff
this man is my role model as a film student studying to be an art director .. with me being from Egypt the possibility of me visiting his cave or work with him as a trainee or an apprentice is slim to non
so i'm really thankful for u guys for taking us in a tour in Adam's amazing mancave ! and giving us some of the experience
Idk if that is a man-cave anymore. More like a "museum" 😃
@@leonefurlan137 hahaaa it defiantly is
I love seeing Niko act like a kid. He is normally pretty reserved with his emotions. It's great seeing him get all excited.
Adam Savage is a treasure! i LOVE the passion he shows when he talks and shows them all the different stuff he has. really hope to see him again with corridor crew
"there's about 30 movies in my top 5 favorites" sums up adam perfectly
I saw that high school production of Alien when it came out! Well, on UA-cam, I mean. I wish I could have seen it in person. Those guys did a phenomenal job! It absolutely deserved all the attention and accolades from Sigourney and the others.
Not gonna lie, Sigourney Weaver surprising the cast of the high school play made my eyes misty.
@@One.Zero.One101 Same. The look of sheer joy on their faces to meet her got me right in the feels. What an incredible experience that must have been for them. Those memories will stick with them forever.
The part when he gave you those IBM bits, the music, the historical footage, the passion in Adam's eyes. I literally started crying. Thank you all for this video!
I just love how positive and passionate Adam is.
I think I’d just be crying in excitement the whole time because of how amazing that workshop is. You guys ever just look at the background when he’s talking and look at all the stuff he’s created or has collected? It’s amazing I can’t believe how he feels walking into that everyday
This. This is the cross-over we needed. Just great, heartwarming stuff. Whenever possible, more of this please!
I have never been so jealous of someone my entire life. This is like a dream come true. Going to Adam Savage's workshop and him explaining to you what he did, what he worked on, and just overall just showing you his stuff is just heaven. This video is just so amazing.
The energy and excitement Adam brings to everything he does never ceases to amaze. May we all be able to retain that level of childlike wonder.
Love how excited Adam is. It's so contagious and wonderful. Thanks for being you Adam.
I love how adam is so casual about showing his collection, he is such a modest guy, "this is my mark 1 armor" with the most happy tone
these three talking about movie history is like hearing children talk about some imaginary game thats entirely real in their world, the pure awe and excitement is incredibly wholesome and real and i love how even though adam is several decades older than wren and niko, you'd never know it just listening to them talk about what they all love, and that is something beautiful.
such a fun tour!
Well I didn't expect to cry during an episode of animators react but here I am. Loved this movie. Thanks for directing it, Aaron.
I feel like I need, like, six more hours of you all talking. I’ve been watching both Tested, and Corridor for YEARS and watching you geek out together is my favorite thing❤
The enthusiasm and positivity that Adam Savage exudes for his collection and the work, is just so infectious
@2:35 the fact that I genuinely want "oh my god" in unison with Adam just shows that he's right
This was so great to watch. It was super clear that everyone there is genuinely happy and excited to talk and hear about each item and it’s story. So much passion and love from all made this super wholesome, had me smiling the whole video.
This has got to be one of my favourite videos you guys have done, Adam Savage is the kind of guy where I feel like i'd never run out topics and enthusiasm. Can't wait to see more collaborations beween you both
I will literally run, not walk, to any video with Adam Savage..what an absolute legend and the coolest reoccurring guest!
There is something about people in general talking about their passions with such emotion that just makes me so happy, and Adam, Wren and Niko have so much in common, you can see the excitement in their eyes, thank you for this, it gives me life.
This is sooo wholesome. I so want to be like Adam.
Y'all should do "Sound Designers React!"
Like: How they make sounds for things that don't even exist; How they made the T-Rex or Godzilla roar; Even the subtle ways they have to add basic clothing, movement, and walking sounds into animated films.
You know those punch and beefy gun sounds in old action movies? WHAT IS THAT?
I'll keep posting this comment until SDR is a thing!
This!!!!!
Nice Idea! I love Gojira's scream in the song "Crusher Destroyer" by Mastodon, it's one of the best opening tracks for an album.
This would be great, watching the sound design being made for cloudy with a chance of meatballs was fascinating.
Especially for the new Stranger Things season!
They used like a bunch of different animal sounds for the T. Rex roar, even penguin calls!
Adam Savage was one of my childhood heroes, who inspired me to go into theater and film making. It is still one of my dreams to have ba collection like Adam Savage. I watch a lot of his Tested Videos and this is awesome seeing two of my favorite things together. thank you for the video!
Can I just say that, this is the best duo ever and that the world needs more of these amazing people
adam savage just knows things and is the guy you'd take advice from on anything
Adam is one of the most genuine people I've ever seen, his passion is infectious and it shows in his work, the man is truly an artist.
It is about the stories. I recently realized that the reason I liked having antiques and other artifacts passed down to me from my parents/uncles/aunts/grandparents/etc. or that I collected during my own adventures, isn't because of any value of the items themselves, but due to the stories attached to the items. Picking up the item transports me to the time and place it was created or collected, or connects me to the person who collected it. Sharing the story associated with the item connects me, the collector, and the listener.
Man, Adam Savage is the biggest kid around, and I'm so here for it. What a lucky life he has lead.
Adam Savage is a National Treasure and should be protected at all times.
Ahh, stuff like this, people like Adam Savage, and stories like these are what make me fall in love with humanity all over again. I’ve always loved the idea of CGI enhancing Practical, because man there’s so much you could do with just giving the set, the actors, and the audience that extra level of believability and love. Like when an actor can interact with their world in small ways, it feels all the more amazing.
Memories of Murder illustrates this, while not full of monsters and weird sci-fi craft, the actors will grab and throw stuff sloppily, they’ll sit on objects, interact with each other and it’s one thing that makes everything feel just that more human than a lot of movies I see. One of the characters tips a table slightly, knocking over bottles and dishes a little. The way a character interacts with a cup shows how they feel either dominant, or unheard. If you wanna make a fake environment feel real, make lots of practical objects, and show the actors sloppily messing with them as if they’ve used it for years. Litter the frame with stuff, all showing the audience who your character is.
If you want to make your fantasy feel real, make your character lay on an ancient monument to an elder god as they eat cooked and salted bugs and have an argument about their futures.
I’ve watched Adam Savage since I was a kid with Mythbusters and he’s always seemed like the coolest guy. Really inspired my love of film, so it was so amazing to see him in his element, talking about the things he loves and is passionate about. Thanks for this video, and I hope to see more of Mr. Savage on this channel in the future!
