Incredible to see behind the scenes at the amazingly talented folks that make the magic in these movies come to life ❤️

[@majorreily]

It's so cool that you would edit these interviews back to back with two people telling the same story twice from two different angles. Very uncommon nowadays in any documentary - very refreshing to see. :)

[@kamikaze2613]

And a funny story at that

Love the Syd Mead designs! Never heard of the movie... Yikes. 4.1 on IMDB.

[@SoCalPresa]

Always a pleasure 🙏

[@Lurker1979]

Love all these vids.

[@wildman2012]

I've never seen this film; fun episode!

[@pixelforge4858]

so cool. just watched this movie not long ago. lots of effects work. and not a movie that is talked about enough.

[@ptonpc]

The effects were beautiful in this film, I saw it again a year or two ago and, while it's not great, the film itself is decent enough.

[@steffenbach3580]

Thanx for adding the names now.

Really neat about using the RC minis as camera ships for getting landscape footage.

[@johnbernhardtsen3008]

I liked that movie a bit!the visuals were nice!

The best part of working for a company is arriving. Having donuts and coffee. And breaks of donuts and coffee 😂😛

Fantastic effects and miniatures in that movie but it was mostly quite boring until that 2001ish thing in the end that was absolutely beautiful.

Because of this video, I watched Solar Crisis. I had wondered how it was that I hadn't seen this movie before. Well the models are great, but the movie sucked. I still enjoyed it for what it was, but I'd had discovered why I hadn't seen it in the intervening 32 years.

Surprising and simply wonderful, this type of hyper-realistic models for the great Hollywood films, how I would have loved to be part of this team of professional scale modelers, congratulations friends 🤩👍🤗💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎💎

[@NeoTechni]

They sent a model home with a guy hopped up on pain-killers, they're lucky it came back with Star Trek colors rather than Star Trek: The Animated Series colors
(the guy in charge of color was partially color-blind which is why so much was pink instead of grey)

[@piercefilm]

Ron Gress was a master painter, and a great guy. He also had a fun sense of humor.

[@TeddyLeppard]

Solar Babies... Solar Crisis... Solar Panels: The Movie?

[@Hemidakota]

Someone should start a model museum.

[@piercefilm]

There is a great one in Lyon, France! They have an amazing collection.

[@Hemidakota]

@@piercefilm I didn't know that...thanks!

[@thinkbolt]

Isn't this a repost?

[@piercefilm]

Yes. Read the blurb above. I am upgrading all my older segments to HD and adding many new photos.

[@galexeqe]

3:35 Dude, how about not bothering people when they're at home, genuinely sick and trying to recover

[@piercefilm]

You obviously haven't worked in Hollywood...

[@filmdesigner800]

Fun show to work on. Horrible film to watch.

[@piercefilm]

You started at a magic time in the industry!

[@filmdesigner800]

Yeah i was very lucky to be sure. Fond memories of a golden time and friend now gone.

[@Falling_Steel]

I always enjoyed the ending…? 🤷‍♀️😂

[@mcboltron]

Lot of good hard work and effort put into this terrible terrible movie.

[@piercefilm]

That happens a lot in the film industry. But you hope the next one will be better! At least the model work is great.
