- In our final video from behind the scenes of Ghostbusters: Afterlife's production, Adam visits the practical special effects department to watch the crew rig up and test the deployment of almost two hundred ghost traps for the film's epic finale. Special effects supervisor Elia Popov shows us how his team modified and synced up these traps to activate all at once in spectacular fashion!

Why didn't' they invent ghosts?
Great work team
I would like to know, did they stick it? Or did they end up having to use digital effects to complete the shot?
I'm so pissed I didn't see this in a theater... :(
@@RyanGrady It looks damn good is all I know.
Didn't even blink at the finale, assuming all the traps were added in post. This is freaking amazing.
I like how they dance around the fact that they are spirit halloween ghost traps, it's cool though because now we have access to the props used for production.
Weird that they didn’t just say it, there’s no shame in it. Even ILM used some store bought Star Wars models for Empire and Jedi.
They didn't have to look that good because you never really see them full on in the movie
Probably because that’s completely insignificant. Weirdo
@@Indrid-Cold it's not really, it's completely relevant to Adam's question about how much it had cost to make the traps. The answer that the guy doesn't tell him is that they didn't make the traps at all, they just bought them cheap at a Halloween costume shop.
The funniest part is when I watched it for the first time, and those doors opened. I immediately knew they were all Spirit traps thanks to the diamond pattern on the insides of the doors. lol
I just love Adams genuine enthusiasm. He's such a dude. I feel as though everyone needs an Adam in their life.
So much of the effects of Ghostbusters: Afterlife just felt right. It's the proper sequel that 1 and 2 needed. The finale was almost perfect, and I'm not ashamed to admit had me in tears at moments.
Was perfect* not almost.
I LOVE the fact that those traps are Spirit Halloween traps!
So that's why they are no longer available.
@@RS-ls7mm They're sold under different brand names too.
Pre made and working at least
@@RS-ls7mm Well that explains so much!
My favourite part of this is “How could production afford to make 200 ghost traps?”
CGI used to be expensive; it’s crazy that we’ve reached a point where it’s the cheaper option.
even long ago the one thing cgi has always been good at is doing multiple of an object. It works really well for changes. If you want to change the light on all of them from red to blue just change a setting on the parent object and all of them change.
Who said it was cheaper to phisically make them? I didn’t hear that part
The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him.
John 1:1,14 KJV
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us,
1 John 3:8 KJV
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Isaiah 9:6 KJV
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
John 1:10
He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.
John 3:18 KJV
He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Based on all of Adam's behind the scenes videos, I bought GB:Afterlife on blu-ray and I absolutely loved it. It was so well done and I really hope Jason makes another movie in the franchise.
Well said indeed.
I've enjoyed watching Adam geek out on all this stuff too. Definitely added to the experience of seeing the film.
I can see Egon's grandkids moved forward with busting Ghosts especially Phoebe!
I was drunk and because a friend was talking about it I finally got it and both drunk and sober me loved the film immensely. So good!
@@daveash9572 These videos _need_ to be bonus features on the physical copies if they're not already.
@@Dargonhuman Some of the footage is included in the bonus features. I recognize some of the shots from Tested's videos.
I love they made the traps open in sequence and close at the same time. As opposed to just opening and closing at the same time😀
That's why they have those huge batteries.
That was a nice touch, I agree. Visual effects - be they practical or digital - should tell their own story that supports and reinforces the main story, kind of like mini stories within the overarching narrative. The traps opening in sequence tells the mini-story that they use an incredibly large amount of energy to activate and open, so Egon had to program them to open in sequence in order to prevent an immediate overload of the power source while them closing simultaneously indicates whatever they're supposed to be containing could escape if one or more traps don't close in time.
This is why people loved this movie, it feel like it belongs in the serie, and getting a Ghostbusters 3 was something we never thought we would get.
I love how much they used actual physical effects instead of the digital It just made me love the movie even more now
I love these deep dives into movies. Thanks Adam, you rock!
Well holy sheeit. They used 198 $20 toys to achieve the effects of the film's finale.
Those are 100% either Imagine Rubies or Spirit Halloween Ghost Trap toy bodies. I just recently modded both toys on my channel.
RIP Mr Reitman. Sad that I see this video two days after he passed. I hope so much that jason takes his dad vision to next level. I can wait to see the outcome.
i LOVE practical effects. telling a story while tricking the camera into seeing what you want to see to me thats amazing. youre bending light to your will if you think about it.
This shows that this movie was made with SO MUCH LOVE!
Love how much Adam is the tech nerd. Just whips the flashlight out, and pops it back away with such smoothness.
You know you are in for a treat when Adam starts the video giggling like that.
Wow. I came here for the 200 ghost traps, but the truck that can beat itself up and flip itself over, live during an action scene, is on a whole other level.
Can’t find it in the movie, anybody here go knows?
Afterlife was such a great movie and all these behind the scenes videos show exactly WHY it was so good. Practical effects, respect to the source material, the level of dedication and care that went into making it; THIS is true filmmaking.
The more i watch these tested clips about afterlife the more respect i have for the film
It makes me so happy to see a Ghostbusters movie being done with respect 👍
Wow what a treat, thanks for the behind the scenes sneak peek! That was truly epic. 👍🏾
its so cool to see even someone of adam's background geek out over practicals effects. knowing some of how it was done make the effect that more enjoyable
In a year I still want to learn about the special effects from this movie. Amazing job Adam and all those who worked on this movie.
Imagine howuch one of those traps will be worth 50 years from now. Truly amazing everyone. Now I'm excited for this movie!
Love seeing Adam fangirl so hard.
I miss old movies w/ practical shots like that..... So awesome.
comming back after finally seeing the movie. you are so right adam. so satisfyingly epic their work on this. if they dont get awards for this........................ we need to petition for these guys to get one.
Touching to watch the tribute to Ivan on the day his death was announced.
His movies impacted so many lives for over 40 ys. R.I.P. Ivan.
I took my kiddo to see the new Ghostbusters movie it was awesome. And to know that every trap in the end of the movie was a real machine is just epic. Awesome movie and beautiful tribute to Egon Spengler and and everyone else in the film who made it just Epic.
RIP Ivan Reitman and props to Canada for churning out the talent :)
Using Spirit Halloween props and the joys of modifying…..beautiful
Practical effects are the best. Obviously these kinds of movies have to use some CGI and stuff, but the more practical effects they can use, the cooler and more realistic it looks. Thanks for the behind-the-scenes footage. So cool.
Glad to see practical effects making a huge comeback.
Was never into Ghostbusters but I love people doing passionate work in camera. Definitely going to check this out.
It's a good movie with some flaws, but you may actually benefit by watching it without being a fan of the franchise as you won't have as high of expectations as superfans did.
Adam's expression when they go off delights me.
As a former physical effects designer n tech. I always loved hearing when directors or prods push for practical effects - and not just because it meant more work :)
If I'm ever blessed enough to find myself in a position to make a movie, I definitely would want to use as many practical effects as possible.
The movie was amazing, and the goodbye to Egon and Harold made me shed a tear or two.
Sad to see this series of videos end. I've absolutely loved them. Thank you for introducing me to the franchise in such a wonderful way.
he should weekly upload special effect content here, more movies and TV shows! MAYA too, stunts, and computer driver stunts as we see here.
So cool to see all the work going into just the truck scene alone! Huge thanks to Adam and Elia for taking the time to show us!! 😁
I'm more impressed these days by practical efforts than Digital. Not taking away the amount of work that goes into GOOD CGI, but something that's physically in the frame is just more visually impressive. Like damn, that actually happened.
Ecto was awesome in that movie. It was like seeing an old friend again.
This is one of those rare times where I'm actually interested in buying the Blueray of a movie I saw in theatres just to be able to witness its visuals again.
They did such an incredible job on it.
Ivan Reitman just passed away yesterday. He made some sure fire classics, may he rest in peace.
Doing it for real is so much better and I expect the actual cost of the digital effect is probably not always fully accounted for. Now, please release the plans so we can all make one !
Adam is so excited lol he’s a like a little kid. I love it.
I'll rewatch the whole movie just for these little details... best return of a franchise in decades
practical effect always look better and real, this is awesome ! and Adam, can we have a one day build episode for a ghost trap ? :P
YES
Sean already has his ghost trap build on Tested.
@@Tyrunz exactly. It not only anchors the effects, but the story, the environment, camera and lighting etc. CG works better as a spice, a pinch of salt. But when you serve up a ball of salt, as they do often these days, it becomes a technotronic rollercoaster blast, leaving the viewer free-floating without anything to hold on to. It just becomes noise.
@adam if you want i could pre build the electronics with a customised arduino and relay - would love that project
@@Tyrunz "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should." :D
I had no idea the truck getting bashed was practical, what genius workmanship. As for the trap array, yeah, totally assumed it was cgi traps as well as the coronas. Incredible movie making and it all went to making a film that I've read is getting bashed as unoriginal and fan servy, but man I loved it. It was a beautiful experience and the true sequel we should have got. Erases the memory of that abomination that we shall not discuss.
The truck tailgate even more poignant following the passing of Ivan. Thanks again Adam and Tested team for these amazing behind the scenes shots.
Loving all of these on set interviews and content.
I need to watch this movie. I love that I'm seeing content like this compared to any piece of content I'd randomly stumble on during the last "reboot"
Great movie, spectacular FX, a real touchstone to my youth in 1984. Watching and appreciating it with my adult children was a great experience. Thank You 🙏🏼
This movie is one of the best fan service movies ever made.
Hey this movie proved how great practical works in this franchise instead of 2016 cgi ghosts, practical really makes them seem eery and uncanny etc great spooky look
The guys who literally create the movie magic we all take for granted. So cool.
This is amazing the movie is really good they stayed true to the original 2 movies
This is amazing, love watching tested! Thank you Adam for all the behind the scenes greatness haha
Adam just geeked in his pants, several times!!🤣🤣
im a 250 lb man. manly man. gruff, tatoo'd and bald. there was a family moment (helping moment) near the end that made me tear up. a lot.
Harold wold be PROUD of the work and love put into this!
You have many shots to a movie but you only have one chance to make it worth everyone's time to watch it.
That was a beautiful thing. Congrats to the people that got that rig to work so well. 😍
I watched Ghost Busters Afterlife last night ... first time in a very long time I have enjoyed a movie so thoroughly in a veryyyyyyy long time. And this scene was extremely cool. Nice to see those practical effects !
i just love it when you go talk to other effects people.
the fact that its not perfectly arranged by a computer but by hand in a field is genuine
There is something so absolutely lovely about that!
And this is why it looked so great ob screen, CG an Pracs working together to create something greater then each alone could.
Someone needs to make a 10 min compilation of Adam grunting and groaning in happiness.
Man I love this Adam 🤪
His exitment for anything just make me so happy 🙃
The fact that this is possible to be done cheaply just shows how far the electronics and programming industry has come
Videos like this should be released as trailers/teasers for movies. Just from hearing about how some of the shots were done, not even seeing a couple seconds of a clip where it happens, is enough to make me want to watch the movie for the context.
How Ghostbusters didn't get a single nomination for effects is beyond me. Stupid Oscars!
What a love letter to Ghostbusters!
Always was a fan of Myth Busters as I loved science when I was in school. Seeing Adam explain something and geek out over details always made me smile there's no doubting his passion for his craft. Bravo Adam, bravo.
Neat! The Spirit Halloween/Walmart traps are canon now! Lmao
Can't find any as well.
ANALOG always supersedes Digital 😎
Luv those GHOSTBUSTERS traps 😜👍🏻
Afterlife was a fantastic movie and the practical effects were partially why
That Tye character sure looks strong and handsome
You can feel all of the love that went into it when you watch it. Its right there, on the screen.
I finally got my folks to watch and they loved it. My mom kept saying this feels like watching goonies. That is what I felt, it had all the fan service and new feel but the movie felt like a classic film. Love this behind the scenes videos, it's always my favorite parts seeing the gears come together.
Even if this WASN'T about Ghostbusters. It's Adam's recations to so many things, which make the videos AWESOME. Thank you as always, Adam and Crew.
It is so cool that Adam has so much of an appreciation for the details of what goes into doing something "right". I think that is why he gets invited to visit so many places that most of us can only dream about. Keep it up Adam and KUDOS to you.
I love watching Adam get excited about this kind of stuff.
I watched this movie the other day and it really restored my faith in the franchise.
The effects were practical but also so refined!
1:44 Adam is so impressed he couldn’t speak…
I started seeing this video, and then hear "used for the films finale", stopped the video, went and watch the movie, and then back to the video XD
CGI Can be fun and bring some really cool things to life...but practical is where it is at!
All sorts of ridiculous oh man! How amazing is this!
Ngl that's cool as hell.
I’ve been re watching Ghostbusters Afterlife ever since I bought the film on 4K Blu Ray after seeing it in theaters twice. Everything in the film is pure genius. I absolutely loved it. lol
Never saw the third movie made because it looked extremely dumb and felt like it would ruin them all for me.
Watched the new one recently and it was awesome 👌 the cgi for egon was fuckin perfect
@@r1w3d Technically Ghostbusters 2016 was in its own universe. So it’s not even the third movie. I saw it when it was free on Starz. Put me to sleep twice. I absolutely loved Ghostbusters Afterlife. Lol
@@ViperChief117 The fact that the director sought out the same CGI company that did the young Rachel in blade runner 2049 which looked phenomenal to recreate older Egon was amazing and seeing it felt like it was really him. Them using as many practical effects as practically possible topped it off with a great story line.
I have seen the movie... Absolutely love the effects and how good the movie is / how good the effects are. The fact that they are practical effects makes a difference. A BIG difference.
Best movie I've seen in a while.
I saw the movie 2 times in the theater, I really feel it was done really well
This was the first Blu-ray/DVD really any hard copy media I’ve purchased in over five years. Absolutely loved this film
Kinda wish I hadn't seen that. I haven't seen the movie and I can see how that gag could be pivotal.
I love the story of the "Ivanbuilt" logo. 😄
Adam is his young self again... "Do it Again!!!!"
The sounds of all the clicks and clacks are the best part.
One of the best things about the movie Chicago, was that most all of the stage effects were practical, using old school stage effects or mechanical props.
I have to wonder if the scene with the truck didn't turn out like they'd hoped. The scene in the movie isn't what he is describing at all. The only hit that we actually see is a half-second close-up that looks like a CGI insert.
