Here's how we did our recreation of one of my favourite visual / practical effects from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade - the "Path of God" scene where Indy must take a leap of faith into a high ravine, where an "invisible" bridge is camouflaged through the use of forced perspective.
Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) created this amazing effect by filming Harrison Ford against a blue screen, and compositing him into a shot of a model bridge and matte painting backgrounds (cheaper than building a full-size set). A puppet of Ford was used to create a shadow on the model.
We attempted to recreate this effect in our studio using a green screen (our green screen is bigger than out blue screen for full-length shots) and a slider to do the sideways camera movement for the character. We couldn't do as long a move as in the film, which was most likely done using a track and dolly, and when building the model we had to scale down the move even further. I am by no means a master matte painter like they had at ILM, so the result isn't photorealistic but hopefully demonstrates the technique!
We didn't have any kind of motion control like ILM probably did, and so instead we filmed the full-scale element first, filmed the model at half speed (guessing the distance though trial and error) and then used time-remapping to match the timing to the first shot. Then we used motion tracking to do most of the matching to "stick" the figure into the right place to the bridge, with some manual adjustments of position keyframes to finish.

I was at ILM when they were wrapping this set-up, and it was pretty cool to see this effect in person. A true magicians trick! I was also impressed with the 35mm still camera shooting the mine car sequence. Old school Innovation!
Amazing - I might need to try the stop-motion mine car chase at some point!
This is incredible man! You really nailed this effect!
Many thanks!
@IanHubert Lmao, nice fake IanHubert account 😂
Why did they make it so easy???
@@SteveRamsdenUA-cam please show how to turn dinosaur miniature into cgi.
Doing this effect with modern CG would probably take about a third of the time and effort, but what you've done here is 1000% more satisfying and impressive. Love it!
hey you aren't Ian Hubert
@@aiduet3D Yeah you should probably report him for impersonation
@IanHubert get a life
@IanHubert Buddy, you’re out here insulting Steve Ramsden’s hard work whilst pretending to be someone else on the internet. It’s pathetic.
@IanHubert No, you're not. You're not fooling anyone.
He's not also a good editor, but a good painter also HAHAHAHA, wow
Your bridge even blends in more with the background than the original shot. Well done.
This blew my mind as a kid. I miss miniatures
Of all the illusions in that movie, this was the most awesome. It literally blew my mind. This goes to show that the movies of the 70s and 80s were the best. BTW, you did an incredible job using off the shelf parts and cameras. Well done.
Amazing work man!
you're both amazing
Ay it's the meme man 😤 wsg jonk
@1:06 they used a motion control rig, that can scale the motion, so that the motion of the shot of Harrison Ford matches the motion of the miniature bridge.
Incredible amount of work, skill, patience just achieve a believable scene.
Well done sir.
I don't make movies or work with CGI and I'm still enjoying watching.
All the times I've watched this movie and never noticed Harrison's feet moving...lol
That's a hell of a lot of work for this effect, very well done!
This is seriously impressive! You achieved an effect done in 1989 with just your computer and a few equipment at home. I wanna say, where getting to the point where someone at home with a YT channel can pull off better effects than a major studio with a 200 million dollar budget!
I cannot imagine the amount of hours to get that effect in 1984
89, but yeah. The whole photochemical process for combining actual physical film must've been exhausting on its own! Truly genius people at the top of their game - again and again 👏
Seriously! Even with modern technology, that single shot was very pain staking and time consuming, I can't imagine having to do that on film and without modern computer programs.
*1989
The tedious part is the motion control photography and part with the optical printer(luckily they were slowly phased out at the time when I started doing VFX).
I’m not sure why this popped up on my feed... but super happy I watched it!!!
Same 😂
Hats off to you for actually painting all of that and for achieving the same effect with home studio equipment.
One of the best scene of The movie with the drinking from cups scene.
I thought it was stupid, because it only works in movies with a controlled camera. Indiana Jones should have been able to see the bridge easily.
@JustMy Thought Yeah, I see your point. I just always assumed that the illusion was "intended" to be seen at Indy's eye level, and once he took a few steps "on faith" that the bridge would be visible. The idea being that it was not visible _until after_ he took the first steps. The fact that the perspective has to be different for the camera is just so that we as viewers can also be tricked by the illusion, if that makes sense. At least that's how I always understood it.
You’re a freaking genius! You always get the effect you want with limited resources!
Awesome recreation. Always so much more to it. Thanks for sharing.
Shadows with puppets? Amazing.
I like hearing about the old methods almost as much as seeing your recreations.
The amount of work you put to create this video is insane, nice job buddy
Phenomenal job!
Sup I like your channel
Nice video live how you use simple techniques to make nice effects. Nice work
That really turned out great! Nice work!
Wow, cudos to you for doing it the hard way. I would have stollen a rock wall photo in 2D then used photoshop with the distort feature to cut and past the section of the bridge face from the original rock face onto the bridge face.
Very impressive! Well done. I think this shot in the movie blew everyone’s minds from the throwing of the dust particles onto the “invisible” bridge to Indy stepping across it.
Great duplication of that _trompe-l'œil_ effect.
Underrated channel to be honest! Really cool and professional content! Thank you, Steve!
Well done. That's one of my favorite effects shots from all films...
Thumbs up for the shear amount of effort you put in alone. Awesome work as always
This was awesome!!!
Could you do a James Bond Gunbarrel tutorial?
Well done Steve 👏 at the time of writing this you have 445 likes and zero dislikes, that tells you something 👍
1:50 for this specific shot you could also stand on a motorized turntable/lazy susan without moving the camera so you could fake a much wider camera movement. Cool video as always 👍
Wow 😍😱 that was incredible. So much work and passion but it was worth it
Awesome man! Keep making videos bruh
Love to see more of these things.. Very nice
You are a golden god, sir.
Sooo much work for a vlog......respect...so much respect
Another awesome video! I love how you go after existing effects and reproduce them... with amazing results. It goes to show any film maker that these effects ARE possible, even on a budget! Thanks, Steve!
I love your work Steve, you have been my help to make the last video that I have published on my channel! A video within the Guardians of the Galaxy movie that I would love to hear from you.
Me encanta tu canal!! El vídeo de Guardianes de la Galaxia está genial Antonio, saludos crack
Incredible work, Steve! So glad I found your channel! Super inspiring.
Works in the cinema but they proved that it wouldn’t have fooled Indy (wasn’t myth busters, but some similar show). Having two eyes on it your brain can work out the perspective difference. Obviously it works in film as you’re viewing a ‘flat image’. Not taking anything away from the scene (or then while film for that matter), it’s awesome
Amazing!!! Looks incredible!! Great work.
Amazing work! Love that scene and also your version now too.
Simply awesome ! Good job.
Wow love it! Incredible work!! Want see more!! 🤩👍
Miniatures are one of my favourite things about making films, you nailed the effect perfectly spot on dude.
Amazing!! Big project and wonderful.
Wow replication and improvement added.
That was great! Good job! I love that invisible bridge sequence
This flat out inspires me. Well done!!
Well done! That was a lot of fun to watch.
Fantastic!!!! One of my favourite movies ever! You did an amazing job!!!!
simply AMAZING
Truly amazing!!!
Keep up the great work my searches keep coming back to your videos so you definitely have your finger on the pulse helping us all with these tutorials.
Your painting skills are on point! Well done!
Now that's "Indie" film making.
🤣
You did a great job! One of my favorite movies
Brilliant! You've inspired me...again! Cheers and Love from Atlanta.
Absolutely spot on 👌
Incredible
It's really great experiment to get the experience. One of the best illusion or perspective to reveal the scene and in little magic. The great scene and ideas to recreate as new in your own way of storytelling. Keep learning and developing in yourself and others for viewers.
Class work, great job.
I love these! Good job bro!
This looks really impressive. Nice work. So cool!
That was indeed awesome
This was a really creative miniature effect! Great work
Brilliant job !
Great job Steve !

Wow this is really cool!
Dude you crushed it!!
Outstanding.
amazing job, congrats!!
You are incredible! Everything seem simpler
Damnnn I love this!🔥
Impressive! Just when I just re-watched The Last Crusade yesterday!
Incredible technik effect...
PURE TALENT 🙌😎
Awesome man good work
I never realized the bridge was there the whole time. I thought it was actually invisible. Lol. This makes a lot more sense.
I'm kind of guessing with my interpretation that it was there the whole time, just invisible... who knows! 😆
@@SteveRamsdenUA-cam Honestly, I am not even 100% sure I know what I thought was happening before(it didn't really make sense.) This does. Thanks!.
This shot goes by pretty fast in the movie, and it’s an effect most people have no personal experience with. (And it doesn’t really quite work in person if you have two eyes or move your head at all.) So I think many, many viewers didn’t understand what was happening. Too bad, because it’s a clever idea and well executed.
That's so cool.
If you have a dslr turn the lights of in the room, and get a high powered torch and put in in the viewfinder, it will project the light onto the area, you can with chalk mark off your limit, then go to the finish position and do the same, at the finish point you can put in a camera slide transparency in the view finder make sure its gridded then you mark off the grid in chalk on the model and use this to line up the painted areas. I am a matte painter. ;)
Amazing work
Fascinating work! Thanks for sharing this!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Apart form the insane way you say "visual", you've done a fantastic job on this!! 😁 🤪
this is awesome brother, you impressed!!!!
This is amazing illusion effect. Top number one
