This is so awesome Adam I got Mr.Rogers vibes but for Ghostbusters fans love it! Thanks for sharing these great videos.
Stay Safe 😷
The toaster @02:35 looks vaguely familiar... holy crap... it IS the same toaster!
And also a box of Cheez-it crackers. Egon's second-favorite snack after Twinkies.
What app do I need in order to actually see this movie?
That was really cool, love seeing behind the scenes
Just saw you at the convention in Salt Lake. You did not disappoint.
The juxtaposition of going upstairs and seeing an old farmhouse suddenly become chip board over new timber frame is fascinating. Totally blows your mind!
A damp old house perfect for growing spores, molds and fungus.
So is being a single bloke living alone. Housekeeping? What housekeeping? Oh That Housekeeping!
So is a refrigerator!
Things Egon likes for 200 Alex.
@@theayatollahofrockandrolla Alex is dead.
@@aaqilian5.085 kinda like your brain..
The stack of books HAS to be a callback to the library scene in GB1
You’re right, no… human being would stack books like that.
Symmetrical book stacking. Just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947.
@@DrummondsPoint Bingo!
My thoughts, exactly!!!
@@DrummondsPoint I love the fact that whole bit was improved lol.
The skill and mindset to build this masterpiece in a short period is insane.
That house looks like it has serious wood fatigue and the wiring is probably substandard, completely inadequate for Egon's power needs.
Wow. This place is great. When can we move in? You gotta try this staircase. I'm gonna get my stuff. Hey. We should stay here. Tonight. Sleep here. You know, to try it out.
It is how he got it cheap. Plus Ray wasn't there to ruin the haggling
Or completely perfect for said needs!
The wiring to the basement nuclear generator is hidden in the walls. It's made to look under rated on purpose.
Relax, ray. Everyone has 3 mortgages nowadays.
The set guy has one of the coolest jobs in the world.
What a great tour and interviewee! From the pocketfuls of equipment and Jurassic Park tee to the genuine, bright, and honest answers, Alex really made an Adam-fangirling-over-film-sets video even more fun to watch.
I get the impression that Alex is a Mythbusters fan and was probably just as over the moon to be showing off his "toys" to Adam as Adam was to be on the set.
Which is, of course, super fun to watch them interact in that context.
Let's see what happens when we take away the puppy.
Taking away is apparently easier...
Heeeey. Nice to see you here, James. I still remember your Super Mario Ghostbusters parodies. Maybe we'll get one more for Afterlife ;)
Brilliant commentary then … brilliant commentary now!!!
Hopefully not lost to the masses …
Seeing Adam happy makes me happy. Super excited to seeing this when it comes out. Hopefully worth the wait.
Honestly, Adam's bts videos are getting me more hyped and hopeful than the normal hype sources like Akroyd or Murray saying it's good. They lost a lot of goodwill when they hyped up 2016, and we know they're contractually obligated to hype this one up like that one, but Adam is looking at all of this as a regular fan, not someone under contract, so if he's excited about it, then it sends us the message that we should be excited too.
Long live Egon! Forever Ghostbusters!
Who here wear out their GB VHS tape in the 80s?
As for the 45rpm vinyl too for me.
Adam and the Tested crew do a lovely job of showing you all the careers we don't know but the passion is still very much visible in the movie.
Indeed. It's that level of passion and care that everyone seems to be putting in that makes us hopeful for this to be a good movie, as this level of love and dedication has been severely lacking in most Hollywood productions the last few years.
Ghostbusters afterlife looks like it could be really good, and I can’t wait to see it. From what I’ve heard this time they’re going to respect the original Ghostbusters! 👍
I agree 100%
Most definitely...can't wait to see how the remaining original cast makes appearances in this movie
Dan Akroyd has said it feels more like the first movie then any of the others. Coming from one of the original writers, that says a lot.
This comment will either age very well or very poorly. Either way, a bunch of people will point it out.
@@malfattio2894 haha so true
As a proud southern Albertan it’s awesome knowing a majority of the film was shot in southern Alberta, and it’s super fun to see Adam’s excitement
some guy out there is like "SO THAT'S WHY MY SHELVES NEVER GOT BUILT!!!"
LMFAO! I didn't think of that, but you're probably right! Even if not, that's still a hilarious thought.
The set decorator, Alex's kit is AMAZING everything on that rig is carefully chosen
Awwww. You flatter me. As an on set guy,. You have to think quick and have your tricks close at hand
@@Lipsmith ive been wearing an apron at work for 6 years now, im still learning.
@@Lipsmith This was such a cool interview. The work you and your team do is amazing. 'I'd love to see more behind-the-scenes stuff with you & Adam.
The video I want next is a tour of that rig. Always interested to learn how various “trades” prioritize and carry their kit.
Adam is that kid in all of us who's told not to press that button but he looks, gets slowly closer and bam hits anyway just to see what'll happen. None of us can be there to touch any of that so I'm glad he did for us!
You could've totally made this 30 minutes long. I WANT MORE!
This series of BTS Ghostbusters goodness is such a treat!
What I love MOST is watching deep dives into movies, and watching it work on set during the film. I LOVE IT 🤩
this is freaking awesome, Alex seems really nice and hes got the best job ever.
That UV pen locator concept is wondrous.
Gives me some ideas for the next time I have to have roommates that I don't trust...
I *love* the attention to detail with the very old, not perfectly smooth panes of glass in the windows. That tiny detail is absolutely *critical* to making the set feel like a genuine old house.
I remember the Larry Niven book "Protector" where the protector always wore a vest full of pockets so he could improvise stuff on the fly. Now I know what he looked like :-).
I appreciate the effort that the set builders went through to get so many details right, I'm hoping and praying we get the ghostbusters we deserve (and not the one they tried to pass off back in 2016...) Gotta say I love the enthusiasm that Adam has for these pieces of cinema, its contagious and gives me that hope!
Yea, the actors lost a lot of goodwill with the fans when they helped promote 2016 (I know they were under contract to do so, but that doesn't change how we feel about it), so hearing them say the same things about Afterlife rings a bit hollow. Adam is under no such contractual obligations and is looking at all of these things through the eyes of an excited fan like us, so it comes off as a lot more genuine. Anyone who is familiar with Adam from his Mythbuster days also knows that he doesn't fake his enthusiasm for things, so if he's excited about something like this, then he has reasons to feel that way, which kind of gives us "permission" to get equally excited for it.
Amazing. The one detail that jumped out at me right away was the electrical wiring on the outside of the walls. My grandparents lived in a much smaller farmhouse here in Saskatchewan and the house was build when a lot of places still didn't have electricity(not sure when it was built, pre 1940 for sure) so at the time there was no thought of light switches or light or power sockets, even the phone line. When all that was added, the wire was literally stapled onto the wall in most cases where as the house I grew up in was built in the 1950s and already that was integrated into the walls. For me, seeing that in this set really tells me the age they were going for with the house.
Okay, so this may have already been mentioned, but Stantz put a mortgage on his family home to get startup money. Ecto-1 ended up in the barn of this house. I feel like it would have tied the story together nicely if they had worked that small detail in somewhere. Maybe Ray and Egon spent some time out there continuing their research, Ray did other things, but Egon settled in.
I don't think it fits because this house is near Shandor mines as shown in the trailer. It seems like Egon chose to move here to investigate the mines.
Ray is from New Jersey. This takes place in Oklahoma.
This was mind blowing! They built two houses!
Blown away! Alex just one of many unsung hero's of movie making. What a character, what an interview. Put that guy in front of a camera and make'em a star!
thank you so much adam and the team for getting the chance to share with us all the cool ghostbusters stuff they've been working on!
Im SUPER excited for everything you guys are bringing from this film. I wasnt even a real GB fan until this time last year when i dove down the rabbithole and made a flightsuit of my own.
Nice. Welcome to the family.
The love they have put into the details for this movie really makes you excited for Ghostbusters Afterlife. You can see and feel that they went to great lengths in order to give respect to what came before, then build upon the established lore. Kudos to all involved in this! 🙂
Adam: "How did you end up doing this for a living?"
Alex: "... It was an accident."
True story. Source: me.
@@Lipsmith Awesome.
Sometimes the best job ever comes about from something you never imagined.
I'm 36 years in a field that is completely different from my schooling, but a simple, "Meh, it pays better than unemployment," and here I am enjoying even stressful days.
@@Lipsmith As the wise philosopher Bob Ross said, "There are no mistakes, just happy little accidents."
But now that you've tipped us off to the hidden Easter eggs, you know we're going to watch this movie multiple times and scour every frame looking for them when it comes out. It's gonna be fun!
@@Lipsmith That's awesome. I wish I lived in LA and got a start like that. Always wanted to do behind the scenes things on movies. No relation to Adam, but i do look like him.
Lucky guy to have such a dream job!!!
I want to hire him to replicate it.. lol but I am poor
Alex!! I'm so glad to see you doing so well and getting seen. Sending you lots of love ✨🖤✨
I love that wheat stained glass window in the kitchen. I can't be the only one staring at the 1980's Budweiser can and waiting for them to say something about it.
"Even the worst day is a great day" what a fantastic thing to be able to say.
"Here's an entire room of super cool neat stuff. Please don't touch anything."
"I promise nothing!" ;~)
It's literally letting a kid go into a toy store and telling them to not touch any of the toys. Cause, let's be real, Adam is the biggest kid and is having a blast in this set.
@@Dargonhuman How much fun he's having is really why I love watching on Mythbusters and pretty much everything else he does.
I have fun just watching him have fun!
This video just makes me happy.
Alex's chest rig will put Macgyver to shame.. It's got everything!
All MacGyver needed was his pocket knife
@@emperorpawpateen.9992 all Macgyver needed was his fingers…
@@Jealod24 your mom maybe, but not MacGyver
When Bill Murray is excited about a movie, I'm excited as a Ghostbusters fan.
When Adam is on a Ghostbusters set, I'm excited as a Epic Rap Battles fan.
Heehee, I keep forgetting about that for some reason, but yea, I agree.
Also, Adam is a perfect representation of the fanboy in all of us, so seeing him get excited just walking around the sets and seeing the props makes me excited as a fan.
Im sure it was his paycheck that made him excited
This was such a great video. Love all the attention to detail, set dressing, and world building overall!
Just from the trailers I've been able to tell that the people behind this movie are passionate about the franchise and truly love it. That shows through. There's love in this and as a child of the '80s I _cannot wait_ to see it.
Looking at the exterior and interior, you'd think the production team had just bought a real house and moved it to the location on the hill, then decorated it. You'd never think the whole structure was constructed from scratch. That's crazy. The attention to detail is awesome.
There is little more wholesome than Adam Savage geeking out over the set of Ghostbusters. It's like watching your dad at a car show. This glimpse of this grown man you've known since you were a kid turning into a kid out of sheer joy and splendor.
I've got my fingers crossed on this one... I grew up loving GB1 and GB2 and watching them all the time, as well as the Real Ghostbusters, and Extreme Ghostbusters series. When I saw the first trailer and everything in it I was hyped... Now I just hope it lives up to the hype.
Have you been watching the full episodes of the cartoons over on the official Ghostbusters channel?
@@Dargonhuman I have all of them. I've had them for a long time. I don't remember where or when I got the dvds.
Have you tried the video game?
So cool. I've photographed many old abandoned farm houses and even the original Kent farmhouse (that is still standing) used in the first Superman film. These guys are magicians building up this set. The aging is so perfect. Beautiful job.
The moveable mirror to get camera and equipment out of the shot might made we way to excited. What simple cleverness.
Kinda mind blowing how simple but effective that one trick was, right?
2:35 - My parent's had that same model toaster when I was growing up in the 60's!
It's wonderful to see your enthusiasm even knowing that you're on a first name basis with the director.
Suggestion for the next time Adam gets to do something like this:
At the end of the video, when he is talking to the guest about how they came into this line of work, maybe a cutaway to movie credits to show where this person would be credited for their work on the movie.
I still watch movie credits and have no idea what a Best Boy Grip is...
In a film crew, there are two kinds of best boy: best boy electric and best boy grip. They are assistants to their department heads, the gaffer (in charge of electricals), and the key grip (lighting and rigging), respectively. In short, the best boy acts as the foreman for the department.
Brilliant
Why is it that set decorators can get pre-war farmhouse wood trim and finishes correct in six weeks and custom homebuilders take two years to turn out mediocre dreck they insist are crafstman/farmhouse style touches?
Serious kudos to Alex and the rest of his crew. That set looks so much like my grandfather's family's farmhouse in rural Illinois (although it was admittedly in more livable condition) that if they hadn't shown the upstairs I could have believed it really was an old house they'd just weathered/messied/retouched here and there for the movie!
Because the set decorators are hoarding all the good stuff?
This was a fantastic segment, I started as a carpenter back in '82 and was discovered by a local director and producer in northern Virginia and hired me for local indie movies since.
I happened upon this house while driving in rural Alberta. Had a bunch of signs nearby that said things like "THE DEAD WILL RISE" and "THE MOON WILL BECOME AS BLOOD."
I knew they were filming Ghostbusters in the province to I snapped a few pics. Kinda regretting not getting a closer look...
Wild stuff!
What a great set. Thanks for sharing Adam! No where near as close in detail, I worked at Radio Shack in the 80's and got a chance to walk through a store set and meet Bill Bixby. The set was detailed with the latest parts on the wall and systems on shelves. Absolutely fascinating and immersive experience. Awesome virtual experience!
Thank you Adam! one of my favorite videos of 2021
Incredible work by the set designers, builders and dressers. Can't wait to see the film.
Adam Savage's Tested has become my favourite channel on YT. It's nerdgasmic.
Right at the end as they wrap, Adams eyes go to the tool harness and from that glance you just know he had a whole long conversation about not just what was in / on it but the construction or who made it too!
I was watching the movie and was geeking out the entire time. A great movie that fit seamlessly into the Ghostbusters universe
Truly wish I had of had the opportunity to be the creative guy building sets..., at 48 years old found out I had a skill at carving polystyrene that I never knew I had..., had heaps of fun carving and making extra large stuff for 3 years..., but alas the businesses here in Australia just didn't understand the concept...., an opportunity missed by myself that still sits heavy on my heart 15 years later. I can only think how much fun these guys have creating these sets..., thank you for sharing and looking forward to watching the movie.
12:25, Allegiant is in the stack of books.
Ah Egon, a man of taste.
Outstanding content. Always been fascinated with how they create/dress sets.
OMG - those exterior shots look amazing !!!
9:09 Symmetrical book stacking... just like the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947
just saw gb afterlife its jaw droping how they brought back all the ghost busters
Super excited for this movie. Thanks for getting in behind the scenes
GREAT interview and tour. Thank you.
Well, looks like Egon kept the dancing toaster.
It’s always the quiet ones
Love that scene!
It's actually the wrong toaster lol
I hope this film isn't just over the top on the nose nostalgia for the sake of winking at the audience.
The dancing toaster is great, as was GB2, but I couldn't care less about seeing it in this film.
A few Easter eggs are good, but there comes a point when it becomes overkill. Are we going to see Oscar's baby carriage as well??? Also, why does Egon have everything from the past?
@@Dude-oh8vq "i need a toaster. this is a toaster. it still toasts, so it's good." basically, every penny he doesn't spend on new "stuff" is money he can spend on experiments instead.
Ghostbusters stuff and the most badass mythbuster of all time ! life is good.
this house is/was up the road from where i live...can't wait to see the film...fantastic interview and peek behind the scenes Adam...thank you
Is it still there?
This is so cool. Can't believe Adam didn't have him pick apart his awesome set dec gear harness and all the tools of the trade though.
I just felt that 30 yrs were swept away and in my youth once again,,,To,,Too Cool stepping back in time,,,Thx Adam to you and the young man that doing the set,,,Bear
Set Dec seems like it'd be great fun. I wish it was something I could have gotten into.
I also want to walk through that set and just check out everything. I’d love to know how much is real objects-turned-prop and how much is purely props made just for this set. Like those scrolls, the books, all the mechanical bits and bobs.
I know, right? Every frame of the video had something I wanted to learn more about. That's how a good storyteller makes a movie - everything in the shot should be intriguing and contribute to telling the story.
I *never* would have thought of the UV pen trick but that's _so freaking brilliant_
I could watch this for hours!
Of course, this brand new building looks old, but did it SMELL old? Adam, will you show us some of the techniques used to age and distress a set and props like this?
I was wanting to learn about that as well. Like the crackled paint on the window frames, or the distress of the mirror. And I'm assuming the stack of books was actually a foam mold with a pole running through the middle.
@@TJRohyans I wouldn't be so sure... using real books would save a ton of work for anything that would be seen close up. They certainly may have hollowed them out and replaced paper with foam to make it lighter, but the covers themselves could be from legitimate books.
@@JustinShands I'm pretty sure some of them are real covers and spines, I think I recognized a couple.
“You’re right, Ray. No human being would stack books like this.” No human being except Egon. But wait? The actor who played Egon is dead. Were the books stacked by Egon or the ghost of Egon? It’s not just a callback. Is a joke with layers.
Not only that, it was probably egon practicing how to move things as a ghost as well. Unseen character progression.
That’s a bloody masterpiece. Nuts
Wow!!! I loved this so much!!! I want to be that guy!!!! I loved this film! It was done exactly how it should have been done!!!!
Can't wait to see this
Honestly- this is an actual 'behind the scenes' where set dressing shines. I learned a ton about the art of film continuity through thing short video!
Wow that looks incredibly difficult to do but he still seems to love it. That’s awesome
Adam needs to live by my motto and #1 rule from working in theatre...
🎶 Don't touch the props, 🎶
🎶 Leave the props alone! 🎶
Mind blown 🤯 I actually thought this was a house from another movie to learn it’s temporary wow 😮 to be able to see the set is wonderful
I love complicated sets like this but in particular Egon's house is pretty much exactly like my Dad's house! Old junk everywhere, tables encrusted with half-done fix-it projects, quick foods when you forget to eat... Also I gotta say it made me laugh as a vintage dealer when the Mum was saying he left them no assets, meanwhile standing in a huge house packed with $100k+ of eBay inventory... 🤣
I remember as a kid in the mid-1990s
I saw both movies got hooked and became a GB fan from that day forward
I remember using a wooden cooking spoon and a bookbag to fashion a proton pack man good times
Too hot to handle, too cold to hold... you call the Mythbusters 'cause they're in control!
Did anyone else notice someone cutting onions at the end of afterlife?? Brilliant ending.
Man there are little things here and there that you know Egon would have. Like Cheezits. Great to snack on while talking about Tobin's Spirit Guide.
Adam, your channel is awesome, being an independent film maker, I love seeing the magic being made.
Woah! This is so great The job they've done!! I Love the easter eggs!
Wow 👏 this is really exciting. I love Ghostbusters. Bought the toys for my children and they became fans. I dressed my son up as Egon for Halloween 🎃 one year. He was adorable. He happens to my favorite character. Thanks for sharing 👍
I just found this video and thanks for it. To me this is not just a movie it's closure for the original cast and for me to have a chance to see Harold. I remember when my father took me to see the first one only wish he could of been here for me to take him to this one.
I am blown away, and it's crazy that the house looks so old and decrepit, but it was brand new and dressed to make it look like and old farm hour
You lucky dog!
Thanks sharing Adam👍🏽
In the early 90’s I lived in an old house in Eureka, CA that looked exactly like that on the inside. They have perfectly captured the run down look of an old farmhouse, which when it was new was a very nice building.
Nudge the building was built for the movie; or so I get the impression of.
@@peterkelley6344 yep it is about a year old.
Fantastic.
Always love Adams child like excitement with movie props
I remember going up to the circus for my kid to film, and we went up the hill to the house, because she was going back and forth in the car. I got to stand inside the house, and I was terrified to even move, because I didn't want to mess anything up, and at the same time I felt like a kid. The fact that they built that whole house is wild. The barn also was built, actually, it was a barn they apparently found by Acme Alberta and it looked just like it does now, took it down piece by piece and put it back together.
