I love that he is the shepherd/steward of all these odd, and unique things as he is not only a great steward, but also has the platform and reach to share it all with everyone
There was never any way whatsoever that I could ever justify spending this kind of money on a book, yet I'm still disappointed that it sold out before I could buy it.
On the other hand I could justify spending the money but it's sold out and I don't even like the movie that much LOL. I can imagine this appreciating in value over the years.
I don't really need the scrapbook or the script or any of the other random memorabilia, but I would really like to read the production book. I hope it gets a standalone printing at some point
I was extremely lucky to pick it up right as it released and I’m so happy I did. They are making a cheaper condensed copy like they did with the napoleon set
My wife is a big fan of Stanley Kubrick and since we live there, we went to the exhibition in Germany and it was amazing. Her tradition when going somewhere special is to take a 35mm camera and only one single or maybe two rolls of film to consciously take pictures instead of spamming terrible shots with a phone. I myself don't like it too, when people are always filming or taking bad pictures everywhere, especially when it becomes distracting or they have their flash on. Phone cameras can have 50MP and all the A.I. tomfooleries, but it doesn't matter when the people using them don't take any care. Proper photography has become rare since the digital age and it's great to watch people appreciating it.
I grew up around Timberline Lodge, and I get the sense that the exterior set made some significant changes in scale. The actual lodge is a big lodge, and it feels like a big lodge. Cozy, approachable. The exterior set from the film really seems bigger and different, but I've never been able to confirm it. It looks kinda the same, but I know it isn't.
That is just a remarkable piece of work. Speechless at the amount of research that's gone into that set. While I think the price should be (at most) HALF of what they charged for it, the set itself can't be denied as an astounding archive.
@@tested I just realized all those horizontal lines converge behind Adam really nicely. I'm sure someone with more art knowledge than me can make great compositions with all those shelves, boxes, and lines.
Alongside the art form of film and book, don't forget the art form of photography. Which is also very unique and its inclusion here greatly elevates the objects.
Incredible find. I recently visited the Stanley Hotel at Estes Park, CO and they are growing a Hedge Maze in the front of the hotel somewhat like what was in the movie.
13:22 Speaking of the helicopter work for The Shining, Ridley Scott got with Kubrick to get some of his unused Shining helicopter footage to use for the ending for the original theatrical cut of Blade Runner; Kubrick sent Scott thousands of feet of film.
Seeing you with the maze is incredible, because this morning I started thinking about the movie and my brain immediately went to your maze build, Adam. I love coincidences like this.
I've never really cared this film as it's not my sort of genre at all, however I have still always appreciated it's artistic value as it's obviously no ordinary run of the mill movie. I find the unbelievably detailed behind the scenes stuff absolutely fascinating as unfortunately creations like this are almost non existent these days (& I used to take them for granted).
THE MISSING SCRAPBOOK: I've seen the scrapbook in real life. I encountered it in 2014 in the British Library. It was being used as part of an exhibition on gothic literature. If anybody is still tracking it down, it was definitely in the BL about ten years ago (and works like that never leave the building). The BL also had Kubrick's personal copy of the novel with his handwritten notes in the margins. I made a video about the scrapbook at the time I saw it, jump forward to 1m45s: th-cam.com/video/KbrEPtygrUE/w-d-xo.html
People are always surprised that Timberline Lodge (the hotel they used as the outside of the hotel in The Shining) looks absolutely NOTHING like the interior in the movie. The actual inside is so much cooler! If you’re visiting the area, whether you ski/snowboard, or just want to hang out at a unique, historic hotel for a nice vacation, I absolutely suggest checking it out, at least for a day visit. The view from the mountain is stunning as well!
Adam! You have the stack of paper. All work etc. You said next is the typewriter. After that, I think, should be a, reproduction desk, and chair. Reproduce the whole desk layout, as an art piece, in your home. I would have to, if I were in that position. How cool would it be, to sit at the typewriter, place your hands, on the keys, as though, you, were jack. Just amazing.
This is my favourite episode of Tested that I've watched. Strangely, I was just having a discussion with someone who claimed that film is only commerce. In my opinion, yes, some films are only commerce. Some films are art. The Shining is art.
I really hope a copy of this survives a thousand years into the future for some archaeologist to find. I'm very much against the way documentation of our lives is being forced on us, but at the same time, I find these intentional, extremely detail documentations of historically important things to be tremendously valuable. Like finding da Vinci's notes on what he was thinking while painting Mona Lisa, or finding the contracts and plans of the architects Vespasian hired to build the Colosseum.
While i love some movies, music, TV shows, spoets, etc, and I've never become obsessed to any level with any of them. And partnof me is sad that its never happened to me. I have a bazillion small things that have influenced me, but i cant think of any individual thing that i can say was life changing, or deeply influential, like Star Wars, or anything else like that. And I'm kind of sad about that. I feel like im missing out. And watching Adam and his stories and experiences over the years gives me joy to experience this rype of thing, even if its doing so vicariously through Adam and co. ❤
you are not missing out - you just have a mature adult sense of what is would mean for something to be "life changing" combined with the very elementary insight that a movie or a book can never be that
Oh wow, I've seen this book set before. One of my favourite content creators purchased one and went to the hotel that inspired the movie Overlook Hotel, not in that order.
The Overlook Hotel is like an hour away from me. It's a cool place. I enjoyed the film just fine, but I can't help but compare it to the book every time I watch it. The book is just so much better. But still, this is pretty cool memorabilia.
An astounding book and quite an achievement. My HUGE problem with projects like these is that they are not accessible to most who may also share the same interest. For those without access, this book might as well not even exist.
I want to know if there's any mention in these books whether or not Kubrick intentionally had Nicholson look at the camera in all those scenes. If you don't know what I'm talking about look it up here on TH-cam, it's pretty cool.
I’m haven’t done anything responsible like look it up or anything, but I expect it’s just the box set that’s limited and the actual making-of book will receive a regular edition at some point
Not really. It is a documentation of the events first and foremost. It will serve as reference for many people over time. It's $2.500,- so 1.000 copies means 2.5 million dollars. Given the status of the two authors, my guess is this is more of a passion project, not for the money. They also wouldn't have done this as their daily job for a decade. It takes forever to find all these people, have them look for pictures and other stuff from the movie. That means a lot of waiting, so plenty of time to do other projects as well.
@@zyn87 No, this is just a case of not being able to publish it in a different form as it wouldn't be complete. You can't publish this as a single book and it wouldn't be as interesting if it wasn't for the presentation. The way it was made means a lot of setup in printing and additional work, which wouldn't make it viable as a large volume print. It is better to make 1.000 sets perfectly than to try and milk a poor version.
I love the movie, and my jaw was on the floor several times while watching this with what was inside the box, but I could NEVER justify spending the money for it. My only wish is that those that were able to buy this appreciate it, and value it for all that it is.
I have never seen The Shining (horror movies don't do anything for me), but this was a fascinating look at a work that clearly many people poured their hearts into.
Danny Lloyd (played, Danny Torrance) actually guest lectured for my biology class one week back in 1996 when I was a student at Illinois Central College. I wish I recalled what the topic was.
The scrapbook was a huge part of Jack Torrance's story in Stephen King's book. He learned just how strange the Overlook's history was from it. This makes me wish it had been part of the story in the film.
I love The Shining and I am super obsessed with it. And dear god I want this set but...one it's sold out and two...$2,500...that would make it the single most expensive thing I have ever bought myself...besides my custom computer. I could never justify it sadly...as much as I would love to look over every single page and learn EVERYTHING I possibly can about The Shining...I could never spend that much on a book set.
👍🤠 I saw The Shining at Gramans Chinese Theater (the place with all the footprints in Hollywood). Probably opening weekend. I wish I was older and could have appreciated it more.
I wonder if the scrapbook has that glorious photo kubrick took of himself in the mirror in the kitchen where nickolson thought he was having his photo taken... that is the best photo i've seen...
I remember renting The Shining on tape with a girlfriend and unfortunately a massive lightning storm came in while we were watching it with the lights out and as the axe comes swinging around the corner with a lightning strike, there was a lightning strike outside the house at the same time. It was the scariest thing to happen and we jumped up and turned on all the lights to finish the move, but to this day I cannot watch the movie again without experiencing that level of terror.
Thx for sharing this w/ us. Don’t think I could ever justify the price myself as I considered the XXL SW Archive an indulgence. Sure would love to get the Napoleon book though as it’s likely as close as we’ll ever get to his film. I’d also love it if Taschen ever did a reproduction of Jodorowsky’s Dune pitch book 🤤!! PS: loved the observation at the end as it’s so true, it is way more interesting (& truthful). I wish this aspect of creation & science was more widely disseminated (Tested doing it’s part for sure). Maybe then those aspects of us wouldn’t feel so foreign to so many. Growing up, I sure wish I had a better grasp of the iterative process amongst those whom we’re often told are geniuses fulfilling their destinies…
18:43 that book actually feels more like a Larousse (vintage) than it does a Bible to be honest. To Adam, seriously put them side by side (1800's Larousse) and that's what it feels like. Open them side by side too, they even look the same. :)
I own this and LOVE it... I'm more than half way through reading the main book. so fascinating. {They didn't show the art print, mine came with an art print of the front cover art from the box.)
If during the filming of this you could have made the mannequin behind you all with the funny head, turn its head to watch you speak it would have made me fall out of my chair. One of my very favorite films of all time. It creeps me out every time I watch it but I can never STOP watching it. Such a deep and involved and perfectly filmed FILM it is plain out ART in its finest forms, there are many forms of art but few this good.
Taschen (the publisher) is also German (and named after the founder), and they are probably very aware of the irony (because they are very well known for their high quality books; even the more affordable ones for 20 € are really lovely).
Anyone know if there are plans to release a full digital version for.. not $2,500? One would hope that wonderful items of historical significance like this aren't accessible only to those with plenty of money to spend lol
@@kubricksmith Oh okay. Well I hope some "limited edition" copies are at least donated to libraries. I hate the idea that they'd treat this knowledge as privileged.
@14:49 As a teenager I would get out the family IBM Selectric and type that word pyramid… play makes Jack a dull boy makes Jack a dull boy Jack a dull boy a dull boy dull boy boy
[Arbus] OMG, duh! My brain never had The Shining (which I've never seen, so there's that) and the Arbus photo (which I've never likes, so there's that) close enough that the sparks jumped the gap. Like if the camera turned around and the boy was doing Grenade Boy, I'd have picked up on that but the twins... doh. So, thanks for that.
Watched this with my husband in my early 20's. He loved it, I didn't get it, wasn't familiar with the horror genre. I was puzzled trying to figure out if the writer was bad or just crazy, everything seemed discombobulated to me. Didn't even realize it was the main character who was supposed to be going crazy.
That's an impressive collection. I want a replica of that knitted apollo sweater Danny was wearing. I forgot about that sweater until they showed the photo of it.
Adam, there is that legendary story of Kubrick creating miniatures of his sets with little tiny lights, that he would take a picture of and hand to his crew to recreate on the real set. Then when they would hold up the miniature set photo next to the real set it looks identical. Is this story true or just urban legend? I've never been able to find images of this.

Love this. So sad what happened to Shelly Duvall. Your maze is the best and I hope it one day finds a forever home and you can do a follow up.
Every time Adam acquires one of these artifacts it makes me happy to know that he is the keeper of all these things. He makes a great curator.
I love that he is the shepherd/steward of all these odd, and unique things as he is not only a great steward, but also has the platform and reach to share it all with everyone

they will release one much much cheaper later on...usually taschen does that.

0:39 it's great that the book doubles as a light source, very appropriate for The Shining

Cozy, approachable. The exterior set from the film really seems bigger and different, but I've never been able to confirm it. It looks kinda the same, but I know it isn't.
So wonderful to see such love and passion and desire to keep digging , when most watch a film like the shining and never think much about it after.
That is just a remarkable piece of work. Speechless at the amount of research that's gone into that set. While I think the price should be (at most) HALF of what they charged for it, the set itself can't be denied as an astounding archive.
That Saul Bass sketchbook repro is my favorite part of the whole thing. Great work covering this, guys.
21:09 One thing that's really nice about the new workshop layout is that it makes a lovely background for shots like this.
We are finding filming is SO much easier

an absolute STUNNING collection of information. The world is better that it exists
This is amazing! This is definitely making my photography heart beat faster. :) And film making heart! I love it all!

I can't get over how nice the new shop is. So much room for activities!
Its the same shop as before.
That is so amazing. I'd get lost for weeks in those books. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for the unboxing. I'm a huge fan of Kubrick and I'll probably never have the money to get my hands on this.
Adam rocking the Nostromo crew shirt! Love it!

To be able to flip through Saul Bass' sketchbook...wow!
I'm in awe. This is a work of art. 😯
I'm lucky enough to have been able to afford copy 652/1000 of this book. It is amazing.
I so appreciate your enthusiasm for such esoterica. I have nearly zero interest in the topic but I enjoy seeing yours shine through.
Just the amount of attention paid to building and creating things like these is astounding
There was something oddly satisfying how the air displaces and the sheets settle when you flipped back the “All work and no play” letters!
That makes perfect sense as to why in Sid’s house he has the same carpet as the Hotel.
Two geeks in a pod. It's always good to watch 2 guys geek out over the simple things.
I love your "new" space, so jealous, it looks amazing!!!

I wish I could afford to buy a complete collection of these Kubrick sets.
this set was £2500, ridiculous if you ask me, even given the extensive contents.
That stack of hand typed pages from the set is so cool! Id love to have that
Oh wow, I've seen this book set before. One of my favourite content creators purchased one and went to the hotel that inspired the movie Overlook Hotel, not in that order.
I can tell Adam is a big fan of The Shining far longer than I’ve been alive.
This is why I end up skint! All these wonderful books!! Love it 🥰

A lower-priced edition is planned.
This really really really needs to be available as a series of .PDFs.
Would love that, insane amount of detail. Need to add a first edition of the novel, plus VHS, DVD & Blue-Ray copies of the movie.
12:21 that's a crystal book. When you present the idea that crystallized into a finite product through production sketches or pictures.
If I had the money, I would love to buy it. The Shining is one of my alltime favorite movies.
It would be an understatement to say that I NEED this book like how I need air to breathe.
I want to know if there's any mention in these books whether or not Kubrick intentionally had Nicholson look at the camera in all those scenes. If you don't know what I'm talking about look it up here on TH-cam, it's pretty cool.
Yes, Filippo really discovered something!
This is just like being just as crazy about the movie as the main character gets in the movie :)
Strange to spend 10 years making a book only for the 1,000 people who buy your limited edition to ever end up reading it.
To inflate its value, and hype up its relevancy.
2500$ is still pretty rough imo

I have two taschen books one is a jamie hewlett book and another is a disney film archive both books are absolutely amazing to read
If they could break this out into the individual pieces that'd be great. I'd absolutely love that continuity script
I'm gonna give Norm credit for not correcting Adam's comment @18:16 about who was being _texted_ in the middle of the night. Paged maybe.

I find myself actively avoiding making of / behind the scenes / production stuff on works I like. Very much a 'how the sausage is made' kind of thing.

Great video Adam sir you are awesome 😊
OH MY GOD HE FINISHED IT!!!
As a German I was laughing when you called it a Taschen-book... That's the German word for a cheap paperback and this is quite the opposite 😂
Taschen (the publisher) is also German (and named after the founder), and they are probably very aware of the irony (because they are very well known for their high quality books; even the more affordable ones for 20 € are really lovely).
They mean the coffee-table/art books published by Taschen
I used to work at a bookstore and the bargain bin was always full of Taschen coffee table books. So that makes sense 😊
We need a book like this for The Thing (1982).
Is it me or is blade runner 2049 an homage to Kubricks hotel visuals. Just thought of the mood, feeling colour, texture and even the bar scene.
Anyone know if there are plans to release a full digital version for.. not $2,500? One would hope that wonderful items of historical significance like this aren't accessible only to those with plenty of money to spend lol
The point is: you cannot get it!🥸
As with most Taschen releases, there will be a non-limited edition, cheaper release. Hopefully soon.

The scrapbook comes directly from Stephen King's book where it is the trap that gives the hotel access to Jack's mind.

Like if the camera turned around and the boy was doing Grenade Boy, I'd have picked up on that but the twins... doh.
So, thanks for that.
Wow, this truly is the Boyhood of books. It took 12 years to make!
$2500 dollars is quite a price... and it is sold out!
I hope they put a compiles book of this, like they did for the Napoleon books

looking at 6:50 and looking 19 : 03 in the overlook hotel maze model video
there is one small difference that I can see
I know the exact number of people who were "being texted in the middle of the night" during the production of the Shining :) 18:15
If only you could get Jack Nicolson’s autograph on that box.
Could you share more about your traveling exhibit maze? How it's holding up, have there been requests for more spare parts etc?

Watched this with my husband in my early 20's. He loved it, I didn't get it, wasn't familiar with the horror genre. I was puzzled trying to figure out if the writer was bad or just crazy, everything seemed discombobulated to me. Didn't even realize it was the main character who was supposed to be going crazy.
I really hope they release just the 900 page bts book on its own
my guess is they will near christmas
The Shining is still to this day is terrifying.
That's an impressive collection. I want a replica of that knitted apollo sweater Danny was wearing. I forgot about that sweater until they showed the photo of it.
Typewriters: See Marcin Wichary’s kickstarted book Shift Happens on the history of the keyboard (and by extension anything that has a keyboard).
Adam, there is that legendary story of Kubrick creating miniatures of his sets with little tiny lights, that he would take a picture of and hand to his crew to recreate on the real set. Then when they would hold up the miniature set photo next to the real set it looks identical. Is this story true or just urban legend? I've never been able to find images of this.
All this talk about Kubrick makes it feel like, at some point, Hollywood was really into making actual movies.
