- You may be familiar with Adam Savage's scissor-lift toolboxes, but did you know it was a colleague's comment on Adam's first day at ILM that inspired their design? Meet visual effects artist Michael Lynch, Adam's former supervisor and the same individual Adam has said would have been a good replacement for Jamie on MythBusters had Jamie decided to quit the show.

More interviews with veterans, please
I need Adam to interview as many model makers before we loose them all to history!
Disney plus should pay Adam to interview people serious
@@Thekidfromcalifornia2.0its a great idea, and thats why Disney wont do it.
I could not agree with you more. I was thrilled to hear these stories.
Adam should do a build of one of those amazing power supplies. I've never seen anything like it!
@@Thekidfromcalifornia2.0 You would have to pay to watch them, plus Disney could pull them at any time as they did with Jeff Goldblum's show.
Absolutely!!!!!
More interviews with veterans, please. I’m loving this.
Two more videos from this shoot to come!
Even more interviews with the same guys. Their must be all kinds of stories they can tell, or would love to tell.
Or even to do a build in The Cave.
The best!
What a treasure these interviews are. I feel privileged getting to watch them.
Wow, how lovely. Thank you for your comment.
It is so enjoyable to watch two experts geek out in their own field. So much knowledge in these two, and the almost childlike glee in discussing their adventures. We should all be so lucky to find our calling so perfectly.
All these interviews are MUCH too short lol. It's such a privilege being able to hear these stories, than you Adam for doing this. MORE PLEASE!
We have two more coming from this shoot! Stay tuned!
Please do more of these, it was a pleasure to watch!
Two more interviews from the former ILM to come!
@@testedI think I speak for everyone when I say: *please* try and reach out to even more of them, to get their history and interesting stories on film, so that the legacy can't be forgotten!
🥺
🙏
@@tested I feel honored you even replied to me, can you tell Adam 15 years ago for a school project I did a presentation on how adam was the most inspirational TV personality to me haha. He's the reason I love to create!
Filming these is a kindness and a gift. Thank you so much.
It’s like listening to Yoda and a young Luke… the respect is palpable!!!!
Ha! Love that.
This video was so lovely. I could listen to them chat for hours.
That last statement is so true and the only thing that is a benefit for my job of being in an office. People knew that if they’d drop a question that me as the external consultant would most likely either have a fitting solution or I would think about it 😂 The last day on my previous project, my colleague said: “when I deploy to acceptance the database goes back to S0. Something I need to look into.”
And he knew that I had build that deployment pipeline and I immediately said: “well that’s the default speed that we said. The deployment sets that.” And I immediately showed him where it was. And he said: “I’ve been frustrated by that for 2.5 months” and I asked why he didn’t ask me? he said: “because everybody asks everything and knowing you were leaving in December I think it’s time for us to do it on our own”. 😊And they are doing well in gone now for two months and they are running fine.
Historically these videos done by Adam & his team is a testament of the What these "builders" have done & to be able to share their legacy with us to hear... Thank you Tested & Adam.
Wow, he seems like a genuinely nice person.
He is SO nice.
So good and just some of the millions of stories that came out the ILM caldron.
This is one of the videos when it ends you yearn for just one more story. There is a shop in my home town that has a constantly evolving subset of old timers telling stories long and short like an evolving play. I love going by and just being a fly on the wall. This felt just like traveling home to that feeling. Bless you for capturing these.
That building and crew are the breeding ground of an era of movie magic. The stories about the place and the people have to be endless. Thanks for sharing even a small bit. Extremely inspiring stuff!
I love how this was less of an interview and more so just two old colleagues reminiscing.
It's a really valuable thing to interview the elders in our lives, there's so many stories that matter so much, to our lives and others. It's recording history! And Adam already is a big champion of storytelling. This is a wonderful outlet of that impulse :)
Thank you for documenting these characters at ILM. Their stories should be told and cherished.
i wonder if all the people that walked the halls of ILM in all it's iterations knew how much their work would touch peoples lives? It was all deadlines and timelines, but they still managed to create fluid works of art. even if it was supposed to explode lol. their imaginations have sparked hundreds of thousands of imaginations across time in different lands and cultural barriers, and most people don't even know their names.
Very well put. But I feel there will be never enough time to gather all that history no matter how we try. But keep doing these videos... Oh and please hear the 8111 podcast. Its all about former ILM employees interviewed. Great stuff.
It's hard not to know how much. When I walked around the model shop or the rest of ilm, the stories were everywhere. And when I worked with some of the old-timers who were still working there, we always talked about their favourite shows or best model. Everyone loved to reminisce about all their years there. We still do it when we get together
I don't know why, but this reminded me of being a kid and hearing my dad talk about his life stories. I don't get those stories as much anymore, this video hit me in a way I cannot explain. Thank you both for this.
Adam's rising tool box , reminded me immediately of the toy fixer's tool box from Toy Story 2 and the scene where Woody is restored
Thank you oh so much for sharing the stories and amazing history of Michael Lynch. I look forward to more fun between you two. Perhaps you two would enjoy a joint current project... Oh So Good... 🌻
These videos with the ILM legends are simply fun and amazing! Any chance Tested can get Doug Chiang for a video and have both him and Adam talk about designing and making Star Wars ships?
Oh, definitely we'd love that and we've been working on it!
I could watch that man talk for HOURS
I love listening to stories like this! The behind the scenes and thought process of solving these problems make for fascinating stories. Keep them coming!
"maybe it's 3/8ths" I can't even remember my postal code. The memory on this guy.
Just got home to some post from san Francisco. It was badges. They made it all the way to Manchester, England. I'm so grateful. They are great. Thank you
Woot! So glad they made it!
Instantly likeable! Smart,funny and calm. Exactly the kind of person you want to work with!!
This guy is fantastic. I could listen to him all day!
these huge workshop spaces with giant open tables where you have the *space* to work... I envy it so much in my tiny artists desk in the corner of my flat. It's a travesty to lose spaces like this, when they're melting pots for creativity.
The counterpoint to the idea of finishing the back as nice as the front was super interesting. Cause it seems like such a purely good idea. But if its there, it will be used. And then the cost increases elsewhere, etc. I love those insights.
None of this stuff really makes sense to me and I just watch the videos to geek out on Adam and absorb some of his enthusiasm and positivity, but this guy is utterly fabulous! What a humble, interesting and funny man! Just so impressive. Hope he’s segued into something else in order to use all that knowledge and intelligence. 👏🏻👏🏻❤
Adam.. this was so awesome.. I love these stories. got loads of books about special effects and to hear from you and other people from that time makes me so happy.. when I hear your enthousiasm I get hyped to tears.. Please. get as many interviews as possible.. we need these stories.. little show and tell about how thngs where made, made how people worked superb!!
It's the fascination with problem-solving that gets me. That's the main way I get my dopamine hit, providing solutions to problems people are otherwise unwilling or incapable of dealing with.
Though not to the same level, by any stretch, I love creative problem solving!
My dad is the one who would show us all these classic movies and mythbusters etc, and part of the fun was always guessing how they manage to do certain effects or shots and we’d just talk for most of the movie but our eyes were still glued to the tv hahah
Absolutely loving these interviews - wonderful stuff 👏👏
MORE!!! We need...the world needs to see and hear more of this man!
So good to hear all these stories. I work at ILM in the late 90's but in digital. I met a lot of these guys and became friends with some, but never met Adam.
Really love this format Adam. So great to hear the amazing stories and insights from veterans of the craft. Thank you.
Would love to see more individual and round table talks with veterans. Particularly focused around a specific movie(s). Thank you so much for this.
Love this so much… I could listen to these stories all day.
When I first saw that missile guidance system interior that he based Threepio’s head on for the Phantom Menace scene, I thought it was the Oscillation Overthruster!
He dreamt of the drill attachment! I love this guy!
Seeing these two geek out is great, its also interesting to see kind of how this guys mind works.
Great interview again!
Awesome interview. What an interesting person. Great stories.
Your next 1 day build! A replica ILM camera department power supplies!
So fun to see people that have reached great heights share memories.
it's become relatively redundant these days to watch one of the Disney behind the scenes featurettes where they mention the original 9 animators (in honor of, or trained by them) but it's just as important that we get videos like this, especially in these days of mostly CG movie and tv production
practical effects cannot disappear
Waiting for pt.2 😎👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 i dont mind if its a 1hr interview 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊
Any time you reminisce about your first days is such a great feeling. I remember being a young engineer in class having so much energy and no direction lol
I need more of this! Love it!
This was an awesome video. Lot of fun to watch. Would love to see more like this
More interviews, these are my favorite
A couple more to come!
These talks make me want to spit, it seems that you were having all the fun while I was doing far more serious things at the same kind of level 😂😂 Great interview!
This interview is amazing, thank you so much to Mr. Lynch for his time!
What I'm left wondering is if there is actually any room for future careers in practical effects. Between ILM eventually saying "hey don't finish the back of that" to 32ten closing, what does the future of practical effects look like?
For me personally it's been a dream of mine to be a part of a production team, and I feel like I'm late to the plate. Born in the wrong era, etc.
Did not think I would be glued to my screen for the whole video but I was.
I really love this series
Two more interviews from this shoot to come!
I always thought of ILM is like the Skunkworks of the effects world. Super motivated and always on the bleeding edge.
Nothing like sharing old stories with good friends
And in our case, literally having them shared with us! So grateful ♥️
I totally thought that WAS going to be a piece of the exposed C-3po haha
It was pure joy for me to watch this video and hear the stories, the problem solving techniques and the laughter
That’s my awesome brother Michael 😊
Great interview. Please do more of these!
We have a couple more coming!
This was great. Thanks for posting. 👾
So extreamly nice!!
This makes me so very happy, thank you❤❤❤
I could listen to his stories all day
How Awsome is it that he is still working out of there. We all have that place we wish we could go back to and hang out. A place where life is good.
I honestly loved him describing his dreams. Such a great interview. Thank you!
I loved his excitement in wanting to share. You know you are gifted when you’re dreaming up ideas.
That felt like five mins, awesome watch
thanks for these interviews great content
Great interview. We totally need several more hours of stories. And you need to do a build together.
Man it would be cool if this like a series. Interviews and shop tours.
Not sure about funiculars, but there are quite a few up-and-over aerial lifts, including a Gondola at Park City with two loading stations and an angled station at the top. It's great a idea with a few unavoidable drawbacks, but I'd like to see more of that kind of thinking
Id love to see interviews for each model design and construction where possible.
Thank you for this
This I soo cool! Talking to your work buddies again. I love that. 🎉 good one. Very interesting too. Always is. I learn a bit often from watching this channel. Thank you!
Best in a long time
Always a good day when i see a adam savage video pop up. I can only imagine how awsome of a day it would be to spend it hanging out at tested. Thank you for another great show. Sending good vibes and love to all.
One of the nicest things i've seen in a long while!
This one is gonna be good!
🍿
Ah! Superman quote...nice.
Was just reading this section in Every Tool's a Hammer, cool
whoa whoa whoa can we have a video just on that escapement sculpture thing. It looks freakin' amazing!
Short but sweet. I could have watched these guys talk for 2 hours.
Just fantastic ,but way too short, you can just tell these two could share stories on how they solved problems, build stuff for days, more more more PLEASE!
Every now and then something in a Tested video a little piece of information just blows my mind and it's happened again here. I never once thought about the ramifications that come with the creation of non-camera facing details of a piece and how they could change not only the filming but also ultimately the creative direction of certain scenes and their 'CGI budget'. My mind races wondering which movies I've watched that were altered between design and filming due to this fact!
This is SO much fun to watch. Thank you @adamsavage for making this.
Awesome...
So heart breaking to think about this lost art form! Original creativity shut down…what a loss. I agree how valuable these interviews are!
Great interview! Is it just me or does he sort of remind me of Jesse James in maybe 20 years.
0:58 As a computer engineer, even I can intuitively tell K&S brass (I have 2 sets BTW) and 4-40 screws can't hold a 10lb tool box. I like to use that galvanized fence tension bars. They are cheap, everyone throws them out, but they are really strong. I have them on the back of my bike as a rack and can hold over 70lb. I've welded up a 10ft wide vertical shaft windmill out of them.
That power supply is rad! Would love to see more details and maybe see Adam replicate!!!
This is WONDERFUL! No more to say...
Love listening to the stories of these model makers and hearing how it was done could you please have them come in to the shop and work with Adam on some builds.
That's the plan!
I had things I had to do, but I guess that just has to wait, this is amazing
We need full podcast length episodes please! 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏
The stories!! Oh god I love them!
I went from this episode to walking to a restaurant and over hearing a few guys talking about how they electrocuted themselves over the years, I just wanted to setup a camera and tell them to start over.
There is such education in hearing people talk about what they did. Successes and failures.
"oh this is just a gyro for a guided missile" what a sentence
