Here's how we did our recreation of one of my favourite visual / practical effects from Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade - the "Path of God" scene where Indy must take a leap of faith into a high ravine, where an "invisible" bridge is camouflaged through the use of forced perspective.
Industrial Light and Magic (ILM) created this amazing effect by filming Harrison Ford against a blue screen, and compositing him into a shot of a model bridge and matte painting backgrounds (cheaper than building a full-size set). A puppet of Ford was used to create a shadow on the model.
We attempted to recreate this effect in our studio using a green screen (our green screen is bigger than out blue screen for full-length shots) and a slider to do the sideways camera movement for the character. We couldn't do as long a move as in the film, which was most likely done using a track and dolly, and when building the model we had to scale down the move even further. I am by no means a master matte painter like they had at ILM, so the result isn't photorealistic but hopefully demonstrates the technique!
We didn't have any kind of motion control like ILM probably did, and so instead we filmed the full-scale element first, filmed the model at half speed (guessing the distance though trial and error) and then used time-remapping to match the timing to the first shot. Then we used motion tracking to do most of the matching to "stick" the figure into the right place to the bridge, with some manual adjustments of position keyframes to finish.

This is incredible man! You really nailed this effect!
Many thanks!
@IanHubert Lmao, nice fake IanHubert account 😂
Why did they make it so easy???
@@SteveRamsdenTH-cam please show how to turn dinosaur miniature into cgi.
I was at ILM when they were wrapping this set-up, and it was pretty cool to see this effect in person. A true magicians trick! I was also impressed with the 35mm still camera shooting the mine car sequence. Old school Innovation!
Amazing - I might need to try the stop-motion mine car chase at some point!
Doing this effect with modern CG would probably take about a third of the time and effort, but what you've done here is 1000% more satisfying and impressive. Love it!
hey you aren't Ian Hubert
@@aiduet3D Yeah you should probably report him for impersonation
@IanHubert get a life
@IanHubert Buddy, you’re out here insulting Steve Ramsden’s hard work whilst pretending to be someone else on the internet. It’s pathetic.
@IanHubert No, you're not. You're not fooling anyone.
Of all the illusions in that movie, this was the most awesome. It literally blew my mind. This goes to show that the movies of the 70s and 80s were the best. BTW, you did an incredible job using off the shelf parts and cameras. Well done.
Amazing work man!
you're both amazing
Ay it's the meme man 😤 wsg jonk
He's not also a good editor, but a good painter also HAHAHAHA, wow
This blew my mind as a kid. I miss miniatures
Your bridge even blends in more with the background than the original shot. Well done.
All the times I've watched this movie and never noticed Harrison's feet moving...lol
@1:06 they used a motion control rig, that can scale the motion, so that the motion of the shot of Harrison Ford matches the motion of the miniature bridge.
I’m not sure why this popped up on my feed... but super happy I watched it!!!
Same 😂
Phenomenal job!
Sup I like your channel
That's a hell of a lot of work for this effect, very well done!
This is seriously impressive! You achieved an effect done in 1989 with just your computer and a few equipment at home. I wanna say, where getting to the point where someone at home with a YT channel can pull off better effects than a major studio with a 200 million dollar budget!
Incredible amount of work, skill, patience just achieve a believable scene.
Well done sir.
I don't make movies or work with CGI and I'm still enjoying watching.
The amount of work you put to create this video is insane, nice job buddy
I cannot imagine the amount of hours to get that effect in 1984
89, but yeah. The whole photochemical process for combining actual physical film must've been exhausting on its own! Truly genius people at the top of their game - again and again 👏
Seriously! Even with modern technology, that single shot was very pain staking and time consuming, I can't imagine having to do that on film and without modern computer programs.
*1989
The tedious part is the motion control photography and part with the optical printer(luckily they were slowly phased out at the time when I started doing VFX).
Awesome recreation. Always so much more to it. Thanks for sharing.
One of the best scene of The movie with the drinking from cups scene.
I thought it was stupid, because it only works in movies with a controlled camera. Indiana Jones should have been able to see the bridge easily.
@JustMy Thought Yeah, I see your point. I just always assumed that the illusion was "intended" to be seen at Indy's eye level, and once he took a few steps "on faith" that the bridge would be visible. The idea being that it was not visible _until after_ he took the first steps. The fact that the perspective has to be different for the camera is just so that we as viewers can also be tricked by the illusion, if that makes sense. At least that's how I always understood it.
Very impressive! Well done. I think this shot in the movie blew everyone’s minds from the throwing of the dust particles onto the “invisible” bridge to Indy stepping across it.
Great duplication of that _trompe-l'œil_ effect.
You’re a freaking genius! You always get the effect you want with limited resources!
Hats off to you for actually painting all of that and for achieving the same effect with home studio equipment.
Shadows with puppets? Amazing.
I like hearing about the old methods almost as much as seeing your recreations.
Well done Steve 👏 at the time of writing this you have 445 likes and zero dislikes, that tells you something 👍
Underrated channel to be honest! Really cool and professional content! Thank you, Steve!
Another awesome video! I love how you go after existing effects and reproduce them... with amazing results. It goes to show any film maker that these effects ARE possible, even on a budget! Thanks, Steve!
Thumbs up for the shear amount of effort you put in alone. Awesome work as always
I love your work Steve, you have been my help to make the last video that I have published on my channel! A video within the Guardians of the Galaxy movie that I would love to hear from you.
Me encanta tu canal!! El vídeo de Guardianes de la Galaxia está genial Antonio, saludos crack
Well done. That's one of my favorite effects shots from all films...
Nice video live how you use simple techniques to make nice effects. Nice work
simply AMAZING
Amazing!! Big project and wonderful.
Fantastic!!!! One of my favourite movies ever! You did an amazing job!!!!
Absolutely spot on 👌
Keep up the great work my searches keep coming back to your videos so you definitely have your finger on the pulse helping us all with these tutorials.
Love to see more of these things.. Very nice
Truly amazing!!!
Simply awesome ! Good job.
Amazing!!! Looks incredible!! Great work.
Well done! That was a lot of fun to watch.
That really turned out great! Nice work!
Wow, cudos to you for doing it the hard way. I would have stollen a rock wall photo in 2D then used photoshop with the distort feature to cut and past the section of the bridge face from the original rock face onto the bridge face.
That was indeed awesome
Miniatures are one of my favourite things about making films, you nailed the effect perfectly spot on dude.
Wow love it! Incredible work!! Want see more!! 🤩👍
Wow 😍😱 that was incredible. So much work and passion but it was worth it
Amazing work! Love that scene and also your version now too.
It's really great experiment to get the experience. One of the best illusion or perspective to reveal the scene and in little magic. The great scene and ideas to recreate as new in your own way of storytelling. Keep learning and developing in yourself and others for viewers.
This flat out inspires me. Well done!!
This was awesome!!!
Could you do a James Bond Gunbarrel tutorial?
Incredible work, Steve! So glad I found your channel! Super inspiring.
I'm blown away
Great job Steve !

🤣
Amazing!!
amazing job, congrats!!
This is great!
Bravo! Well done. You have serious skills. Thank you for sharing.
Really impressed by this. wow
That is genius. Well done.
Idk why this made me emotional?! hahahaha amazing work man. I grew up loving Indiana Jones' trilogy and now I'm a filmmaker myself.
You have worked so hard at this and it's amazing.
Im definately subscribing
Awesome man good work
You are incredible! Everything seem simpler
Well done mate!
Works in the cinema but they proved that it wouldn’t have fooled Indy (wasn’t myth busters, but some similar show). Having two eyes on it your brain can work out the perspective difference. Obviously it works in film as you’re viewing a ‘flat image’. Not taking anything away from the scene (or then while film for that matter), it’s awesome
Coolness. This was always one of the sfx I liked in the movie.
Good for you man. Wow . I am so impressed
Amazing job. Subscribed!
This is amazing
Just out of curiosity: Since you move on a X axis, couldn't you have calculated the new scale (considering also the change in focal length) to get the exact values?
Awesome!
Great work ❤
Amazing work
