- Time lapsed of the ship construction made for the Titanic movie in 1997. Going all the way to make one great movie by James Cameron. Hope you enjoy his and his crew's work, cheers! :)
James Cameron seriously should’ve kept this set as a tourist attraction. I bet lots of people wish they could walk around the ship and experience the Titanic for themselves! It would’ve been so fun! 😊
A lot of it got damaged in the sinking
@keithkalif2778 So sad but it will be better if they repair the damages and making it as a floating hotel or a tourist attraction.
It was for couple years. I went to the sets in Baja couple times and it was amazing
Remember this set was put together quickly. Even if it was saved it wouldn’t last, and would probably be a safety hazard
Shh if he kept it we couldn't've built the titanic quarter & made bank thanx to james cameron. He doesn't need the money but us Northern Irish need it.
Probably the greatest production of a single film. How they made this will always surprise me. Now they would just cgi the whole thing.
Interstellar
Many were saying CGI, no but he actually built the ship. Of course there are scenes made with CGI but this was a hell of a project. It's mind blowing. Kudos to the producer and everybody else🙏🙏🙏
Absolutely fascinating and magical. He provided the closest thing for a film set. Remarkable. The actors were so lucky to have experienced such a recreation wow
I though that the ship as seen whole was made completely using CGI :O Lots of respect to the creators of the replica, they really deserve it...
Yup.. No cgi during those times
@@Nagaland46 Well...the film has CGI as well.
@@Luixmai but no cgi for the ship
The sinking part was real. The footage of Titanic in the day and the iceberg scene were CGI.
This would be the ultimate museum
Silly Goose Your A Pug! Wait, Ellie! Did You Sub To Dan? Go back to Dan!
The rms Olympic would of been the ultimate museum.. she's was identical to the titanic to the untrained eye. But for some reason they decided to scrap her.
@@dotdots2660 we scrap everything in Britain. We have no battleships or anything. We even closed the Cavern Club and filled it in with rubble
@@dotdots2660 They scrapped her because the company was broke and they were in the middle of a depression
@@dotdots2660 they scrap all the ships they make ships weren’t rare back then
Why didn't they keep this around as like a museum of sorts? It's so awesome!
they did keep the piece of the hull in the museum along with James 1:20 scale model Titanic used in the movie
+Seno Charles Krueger I know, but it just sucks that the whole thing in its entirety couldn't be saved
LegitGaming117 yeah, maybe it's money issues or stuff so they have to deconstruct it after the movie production done
+Seno Charles Krueger I guess si
Apparently at the end of the filming the "Titanic" was a rusting decrepit hulk that was starting to fall apart, keep in mind this wasn't an actual proper functioning replica but an intricate set that resembled a ship.
I bet those men cried after making this replica of the great ship thinking about the tragedy and all the lives lost and even though it's not the real ship they actually got the honor of rebuilding the ship and being able to see the great ship back above water for just a short time this video touched me a little bit
The Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment The ship was bigger than white star lines
@@tayshaunestrella6383 Wrong. Only one side of it was built and it was a bit shorter
@@tayshaunestrella6383 it was a bit shorter and they only built the side of it.
@@MrLackerIsCoolI think it was only shorter because it lacked the bow, but it was still to scale.
I always thought they used the Queen Mary for scenes. Fascinating! Love the Irish music from the original motion picture!❤🇮🇪
The music and the Timelapse gave me the impression that the construction workers were told that James Cameron was coming onto the set in 2 minutes and the set wasn’t built yet, and proceeded to build the entire thing in 2 minutes while breaking the laws of physics every second
😂
Why didn't they turn it into a museum, or a hotel? Or an actual ship!?
Don't know
Here you will find some interesting information about the set

Bmanlegoboy cus it was built on sand
Bmanlegoboy it would gain to much wait
Because it's just a hollow shell, and only one side of it is actually finished. They needed to flip the image whenever they needed to film the other side of the ship.
James Cameron sure had a lot of balls to want to make this movie. I'm not sure if it was his ego or if he's adventurous. Maybe both. If Titanic would have been a box office failure, I think that would have been the end of his career.
It's everything really. Ego, Being brave. having tremendous amount of faith in yourself. Well this is James Cameron that explains it all...
James Cameron loves the Titanic, he’s seen the wreck in person many times I think before AND after this movie
@@impulse5674 He said he only made the film to give him the opportunity to go to the wreck.
I’m sure that even if the film failed in the box office everyone involved would have had no regrets anyway, they rebuilt the fricken titanic and got to film a movie on it.
what an hard work great job all those workers and the entire team☺
It looks like as if the Real Titanic was being built.
L T HORNING Maybe it is?
But in colour
@@RandomPerson-xt8pn hahahah :-b
Yeah if they had cranes and stuff and not take over 3 years
So you're telling me that a 1:1 scale model of the Titanic was built and then taken apart immediately after they were done with the film.
Yes
Bob yes but it was only 1 side of the ship.
Titanic 5972 Oh, okay.
Not exactly 1:1. Some details were shunk by up to 10% to allow for camera angles, sound equipment and lighting arrangements, etc. With some of the smaller movie making equipment we have today they probably could build all of it at 1:1.
They did that with most monster movies. In Godzilla, someone built a model city only to have it be destroyed by a guy in a costume...
Are we not gonna talk about how good it looks
Some people think the ship was CGI when they first saw it
If it is, how would the actors stand in the ship and water coming in the ship while the people drowning.
Litski True. The CGI used for the high seas on “King of the World” scene, also the CGI used for people and smoke when the camera shoot slowly from the bow to the stern using their 1:20 scale ship model
Green screen
I always wondered how they built this thing!
its amazing hollywood spend a lot of budget for movies waaao amazing im impressed
What's interesting is that they actually only built the starboard side and the decks. The port side of this ship is just a huge opening. The problem with this is that for the Southampton scene they needed the port side of the ship and not the starboard side. They had to mirror all lettering on the dock buildings, cars, and the ship name as well. They also had to mirror all the actors' clothes and hairstyles as well, which is why Leonardo Dicaprio's hair looks a bit weird in that scene, it wouldn't comb over to the other side that well. In editing they flipped the camera footage over so all lettering would look correct again.
jesus I hadn't ever thought about how they filmed the scenes on the ship but if I had I would have assumed they just did it on a look like ship and created some sets, not the whole damn ship lol. the tilting rear is pretty cool too, again hadn't ever thought about the filming aspect of that scene.
And now I see why this movie had such a huge budget
amazing what they done!
Love the bagpipe selections. Straight from the movie. James stated that the immigrants were having fun since they were on their way to the new world. And they were coming to America the right way.
I think it's really fitting, considering how the Titanic herself was built by Irish hands, in Belfast, Ireland.
Practical effects are probably a lot more trouble than CGI, depending on the film.
But in the end of it all, damn well worth it!
Imagine the pressure of directing a film like this
They should've kept the replica, people are interested in the model that the movie was filmed in than the actual ship.
An as low a cost as possible built movie set is not safe for public touring. If you have ever seen what is behind those nice televison and movie show sets you would know how temporary and dangerous the construction is.
Quarter Crawling no for the splitting they used a model
@Subdomine they built multiple models. They had one for the wreck underwater, one to shoot the initial moments of sinking, one for the Southampton scene, one for the break up, and a miniature one to shoot scenes that capture the whole structure of the ship.
They didn't keep it because a lot of sets got damage after filming
Pure awesomeness!!! All that has gone with CGI. Just think of the beautiful and huge Star Wars models of the 1980s. Master skills are lost.
Watch the 1959 Ben Hur. Real horse races! (And sadly real dead stuntmen)
That's why the budget is expensive
Play with Junk they built pretty much all the rooms and part of the Titanic for a night to remember but the sets were burned after filming, not only that but they didn't have to make noise for the sinking when they jacked the sets up they actually creaked probably like how the real ship would have done
I'm pretty sure the dead stuntman is an urban myth.
Where on earth did you get that nonsense?? The movie was shot onboard the RMS Asturias, that was scheduled for scrapping. Most of the starboard side had be demolished, and so they used mirrors to mimic that side of the ship. It was a good movie for its day, but the interiors were very different from that of the real Titanic and hardly any sets were made for the film. The 1979 movie S.O.S Titanic, was even worse, it was mostly filmed on board the Queen Mary in Long Beach, a ship that was decorated in art deco style, the real Titanic was mostly Edwardian. The dining room and staterooms was the The Waldorf Hotel in London. The only movie with the most historically correct interiors will always be James Camerons. Nobody will ever come close to that.
Play with Junk Inception and interstellar.... Nolan is this generation's genius !!
Perfect replica build
Should have left it! I bet it was amazing to see. Love the music!❤
To make that a publicly accessible attraction, it would've had to be built to a different set of building and safety codes. Just because it looks like it could've been a museum doesn't mean they would allowed to use it as such.
The rms Olympic would of been the ultimate museum.. she's was identical to the titanic to the untrained eye. But for some reason they decided to scrap her.
Anddddd then they realized it was positioned the wrong way around. Haha
Stefan Frederic true haha. Well they flip everything at the end, letters, wardrobes, everything
The tilting stern -- very cool!
The tilting stern is used for the sinking scene.
To James Cameron and his team, you guys are Awesome 😊🤙
C'est dingue ce que James Caron a cette époque à vue les choses en grand bravo James de nous avoir fait vivre dans le passé
Nice video. So what happened to this replica? Are there any photos of the place it stood right now?
Allegedly they sunk the replica foreal.
The workmen involved in the design and creation of the Titanic model must have got a very good pay cheque from Cameron.
Amazing how it's being built from top to bottom and not vice versa. 🤔
There’s actually a museum with this replica called:
Titanic Museum Attraction, in Tennessee!
Check it out! 😉
That's not the actual replica used in the movie. Besides, if that's true, then why is there the exact same museum in Branson, Missouri?
It’s not the same replica. Stop the lies.
love the music
too bad they scrapped it....it was such a beautiful thing to see.
I'm laughing so hard at all the people who say they should have turned it into a museum or an actual ship. Does anyone of you realize that this model had nothing inside of it except of wires? No rooms, no aisles, nothing. The scenes inside the Titanic were filmed on another set.
folkosire actually it did have alot of rooms and hallways but only on half the ship it was so massive that they were getting lost in the hallways
Omg
Without vfx
Great job
This same tank was used on Tomorrow Never Dies (which was released the same day as Titanic) after the film wrapped
Before it sailed: 'Oi, that ship's built it Ireland.'
After it sank: 'White Star Line. White Star line.'
Have you ever heard what the Irish said about Titanic?
"It was fine when we left it."
Nope it was on fire when it left Belfast dock.
This replica was 85% of titanics size, not 90%. It was also way to deep draught in the water so it looked not as high and massive as the original ship. You can see that clearly in the scene when they film the whole ship just after they stopped it after the iceberg hit, that F deck portholes is almost at the water surface. In reality F deck portholes was around 3.5-4 meters above the water line.
Was the scale 85% or was the total size 85% because it lacked the bow?
Very interesting! Thank you for the upload!
Epic video
wow what a amazing video ! absolutely love those tunes can you tell me the names of the songs ?
i forgot the song, i edited this video in my other laptop. Just search Titanic dance song, i think you'll find one
Dsanford12 Agree. if ya find out the name of this tune let me know. good old Irish.
The song's called "An Irish Party in Third Class", which is a medley of "Blarney Pilgrim" and "John Ryan's Polka"
Thank you ! !
Now I know why it cost so much to make the Movie!! Had know idea that a replica like this was made
WAIT! TITANIC COME BACK TO US!😃
They made the port and ship too wow
People here are funny. Why would you use real size models just for a movie? Well, here is the thing: Thats how movies are made man, thats how movies are made since forever.
Models are made for the movie, bam. Thats about it.
Is that the biggest structure ever created for a movie?
Now I know why the movie was more expensive than the titanic itself
its cool when the ship works like that would be the 2nd titanic
wonder if the construction workers were paid in pesos or dollars since it was built in Mexico
I love the jig.
0:00 ) MOM JAMES BUILDING SOMETHING AGAIN
2018 ist die Titanic Fertig da fahre ich mit !
Incredible
Fun fact : the movie worth more than the titanic itself
I wish I could have seen it in person!
They should’ve just built the full ship and kept it as a museum of sorts!
very good job
they actually made the ship :DDDDDDDDDD
please tell me if there is a studio of the titanic movie?
Is it still there? I wanna go visit so bad
Me while watching this : wait make sure everything is positioned correctly
His name is James, James Cameron the bravest pioneer no budget to steep no sea too deep who’s that it’s him James Cameron.
James Cameron explorer of the sea with a dying thirst be the first can it be its him James Cameron.
They could literally rebuild the actual ship, don't you think? And the technology we got today is way more advanced than it was in 1912. Do you think Titanic had it's time as a passenger ship in 1912 or could they try again?
Does anyone know the exact dimensions of this model? the actual Titanic was 269 meters long as I read. I would like to compare this one to the original
Sorry im late! The set was labelled as 775 feet! So it was 15 feet shorter than Lusitania. Roughly about 235 meters long!
Wow that's great🥰🤗😘🤩❤❤🤲🤲
Wspaniala makieta:-)
Pozdrawiam
3 years just of building a model!
They constructed it at the wrong side on purpose or it was a mistake? Cause they had to flip the image on the movie
They wanted the smoke from the towers wave in the right direction, so it was on purpose. They had to built the itmes anyway on their own. You can read all of this in the official book James Cameron's Titanic.
Nice video
+Jacob Eide 5575 I don't deserved the kudos, but thanks
The music : The builders : VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
What happened to the ship after the movie? I wonder🤔
If they built the curved bottom of the ship and completed the interior then it could of been used as Titanic 2
what happened to the ship after the film was done filming
They dismantled it because it got too damaged after filming.
criticalhard oh cool
Did they even removed the port and the ship
Did it Not Rain once during the Whole construction? I'm wondering.
Doe-Young Kim i have no idea, maybe it was the constructed in summer? I don't know
Mexico, I think. Big project, cheap labour.
After it was all built, someone walks up to the builders and tells them they could've saved $50 million by using green screen.
lol
Marchant2 green screen didn’t exist in the 90’s
Green screen is actually invented in 1940. And also, when they use green screen, it looks cheap and not realistic.
That's why they won so many awards especially to the Best Production Design.
Yeah, but it looks more real
So where is this ship now ??
stolen by alien
Jesus, it's just a set, not a ship. They constructed it, shot the film and deconstructed. That's it.
Awsome
My sister didn’t believe the titanic was rebuilt, until I showed her this.
I wish that the company "White Star Line" made another titanic today or some other company should......"Titanic Two"
JOECOOL SENIMI81 china is making a replica of titanic and white star line is murged with curnard
did they keep this boat?
Now 1 person can replicate that on a computer using CGI.
W-w-wait... they builded it and t-t-then didn't k-keep it???
y-y-y-y-y-y-y-yes...
dreamling. Really stupid on thier part.
Not only Titanic...there were a few beautiful film sets...but they demolish them afterwards...it's a shame that the set of Crimson Peak is gone ;-;
Now I know how the titanic was made
How many years this build
What I never understood is why the hell did they build the ship in the wrong direction?? It isnt like it wasnt known the ship was facing the other way in port IRL
Alexandru Carjan well they knew that so in the beginning half of the movie while still in Port they shot the movie in reverse
Mind blowing, just insane. Nowadays they would just use that fake looking cgi. You will never see movies what has this kind of quality again.
I'm confused. Is it a life size replica of the Titanic or just a 10 foot model?
CasualMath lifesize. They shoot the "on deck" scenes on the actual ship
Seno Charles Krueger Makes sense.
It is said making a detailed CAD 3D model would cost more money than making the real shell (the one in the video). So...
well James Cameron didn't built all of the ship but he's moving was the best titanic movie
Did they built as same as real ship or built a small part for movie?
They built The Whole ship bro
@@insanedynamic2.037 man and they scrapped it😭
@@cyborg3851 yes bro😣
What happened to this model after movie?
