00:00:16,830 --> 00:00:22,020
turned Fox into a major movie star

directing that it was the biggest toy

19
00:00:51,899 --> 00:00:55,710

hands ah see I'm good Orson Welles one

23
00:01:00,629 --> 00:01:04,379
said about it directing that is the

24
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,570
biggest electric train ahead of work it

25
00:01:04,379 --> 00:01:10,500
out thank you

26
00:01:06,570 --> 00:01:13,350

29
00:01:22,170 --> 00:01:26,320
this is a story of a director who after

30
00:01:24,820 --> 00:01:28,299
spending three demanding years with

31
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:30,270
Roger Rabbit didn't take a well-deserved

32
00:01:28,299 --> 00:01:33,130
rest in the world special effects

33
00:01:30,270 --> 00:01:34,810
instead he and producer Bob Gale decided

34
00:01:33,130 --> 00:01:36,880
to travel even further into the future

35
00:01:34,810 --> 00:01:38,860
of filmmaking to invent new visual

36
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,990
effects if you've seen the movie you'll

37
00:01:38,860 --> 00:01:43,149
appreciate this filmmaking process if

38
00:01:40,990 --> 00:01:44,900
you haven't we won't give away all the

44
00:01:59,420 --> 00:02:05,960
what the hell was that it's so typical

45
00:02:03,860 --> 00:02:09,380
of Bob and Bob to sit down and write

46
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:11,270
this stuff and have no one tell them

47
00:02:09,380 --> 00:02:12,980
that it was possible but not even ask I

48
00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:14,450
didn't care whether or not it had never

49
00:02:12,980 --> 00:02:25,730
been done or anybody could do it it was

50
00:02:14,450 --> 00:02:27,739
gonna get done I need to worry you guy

51
00:02:25,730 --> 00:02:29,569
gets on a hoverboard skims across the

52
00:02:27,739 --> 00:02:31,520
water shoots up the bank inside of a

53
00:02:29,569 --> 00:02:33,220
building you know and then five other

54
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:36,010
guys I hope before it's chased after

[Music]

56
00:02:36,010 --> 00:02:42,709
when they were writing that everybody

57
00:02:38,780 --> 00:02:44,239
would call babies Brodie achoo there's

58
00:02:42,709 --> 00:02:47,030
nothing they feel like there's nothing

59
00:02:44,239 --> 00:02:48,890
like that and that included having one

60
00:02:47,030 --> 00:02:51,200
actor play different roles on the screen

61
00:02:48,890 --> 00:02:53,720
without Danny asleep and interacting

62
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,220
I've never done before I get another

63
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,019
thing how do you know where I live

64
00:02:55,220 --> 00:02:58,820
let's just say were related there for

65
00:02:57,019 --> 00:03:00,590
these shots all of the mecca's needed

66
00:02:58,820 --> 00:03:03,110
was a technological toy that didn't

67
00:03:00,590 --> 00:03:06,079
exist until he asked for it

68
00:03:03,110 --> 00:03:07,760
oh yeah sure right that's rich in this

69
00:03:06,079 --> 00:03:09,920
movie you use something called the Vista

70
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,500
guide dolly system could you explain

71
00:03:09,920 --> 00:03:17,680
that to me basically what it is is it's

72
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:21,739
computerized robot camera which allows

73
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,750
us to do like elaborate camera moves and

74
00:03:21,739 --> 00:03:27,260
then the computer memorizes every nuance

75
00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:29,660
of that camera move and then plays our

76
00:03:27,260 --> 00:03:31,070
back exactly the same way every time so

77
00:03:29,660 --> 00:03:34,480
what that allows us to do is it allows

78
00:03:31,070 --> 00:03:38,450
us to have one actor play multiple roles

79
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:40,220
in the same shot but not have to have

80
00:03:38,450 --> 00:03:46,700
the camera locked down like they used to

81
00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:48,620
have to do in the old the old movie went

82
00:03:46,700 --> 00:03:50,810
both sides of the scene are filmed with

83
00:03:48,620 --> 00:03:52,760
the exact same camera moves they are

84
00:03:50,810 --> 00:03:55,519
melded together to form one seamless

85
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,800
theme it's a time-consuming process for

86
00:03:55,519 --> 00:04:01,540
the technicians and

87
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:04,270
you frame your head out sportbike I am

88
00:04:01,540 --> 00:04:07,090
yeah like you know reminiscing Leon

89
00:04:04,270 --> 00:04:10,090
remember that I would do one side of the

90
00:04:07,090 --> 00:04:14,190
scene that's the older man and then as

91
00:04:10,090 --> 00:04:16,959
the young man I would have this tiny

92
00:04:14,190 --> 00:04:19,090
hearing aid like device that was radio

93
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:21,190
control that I would have in my ear

94
00:04:19,090 --> 00:04:23,890
and I would have you know I would be

95
00:04:21,190 --> 00:04:28,960
acting with myself hearing my other my

96
00:04:23,890 --> 00:04:31,480
other voice in my ear with Bob Bob Z on

97
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:33,990
a microphone saying things like you know

98
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:37,210
go to the car open the door

99
00:04:33,990 --> 00:04:48,520
as I was acting so that I could time out

100
00:04:37,210 --> 00:04:50,920
everything perfectly you decide what

101
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:55,240
what character is going to what we call

102
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:57,880
drive the scene which means burn in the

103
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,960
program into the camera so you start

104
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,900
with that character and of course the

105
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:10,570
difficult part is memorizing where the

106
00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:12,730
eye lines out the other characters so

107
00:05:10,570 --> 00:05:13,750
it's a very complicated as pre space-age

108
00:05:12,730 --> 00:05:24,419
stuff

109
00:05:13,750 --> 00:05:24,419
[Music]

110
00:05:26,130 --> 00:05:30,240
so how did you make the DeLorean fly I

111
00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:32,790
mean to be perfectly honest what we did

112
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:34,410
is we went to you know the Rockwell

113
00:05:32,790 --> 00:05:36,750
engineering company and we had them

114
00:05:34,410 --> 00:05:39,840
converted into sort of a hidden

115
00:05:36,750 --> 00:05:41,580
helicopter system underneath and kind of

116
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:43,350
spies like a little mini helicopter a

117
00:05:41,580 --> 00:05:45,360
little propeller system that makes it

118
00:05:43,350 --> 00:05:49,440
move around are you saying you're not

119
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,940
gonna tell me about yourself the

120
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,610
DeLorean doesn't have a hidden

121
00:05:50,940 --> 00:05:55,830
helicopter system the MEC has made that

122
00:05:53,610 --> 00:05:57,480
up we can tell you that some of the

123
00:05:55,830 --> 00:05:59,850
flying teams were shot with a three foot

124
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,490
long miniature DeLorean but this is not

125
00:05:59,850 --> 00:06:04,170
a miniature in this case the magician

126
00:06:02,490 --> 00:06:11,059
doesn't want to reveal his true

127
00:06:04,170 --> 00:06:11,059
[Music]

128
00:06:12,650 --> 00:06:17,449
Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale wrote the

129
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,250
first Back to the Future in 1981 every

130
00:06:17,449 --> 00:06:21,710
studio in Hollywood turn the script down

131
00:06:19,250 --> 00:06:25,520
the only person who believed in the idea

132
00:06:21,710 --> 00:06:27,319
was Steven Spielberg but Zemeckis and

133
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,270
Spielberg had failed at the box office

134
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:31,879
with their first two film collaborations

135
00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:34,669
so they decided at that time not to risk

136
00:06:31,879 --> 00:06:36,680
a third then three years later Zemeckis

137
00:06:34,669 --> 00:06:38,379
directed the hit Romancing the Stone

138
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,530
[Music]

139
00:06:38,379 --> 00:06:41,360
afterwards

140
00:06:39,530 --> 00:06:44,240
every studio wanted to make Back to the

141
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:46,280
Future from the exact same script but

142
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:49,039
the mecca's turned them down and made

143
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:51,979
this film with Steven Spielberg now part

144
00:06:49,039 --> 00:06:55,659
two is a huge success it earned 43

145
00:06:51,979 --> 00:06:55,659
million dollars in just five days

146
00:06:56,420 --> 00:07:01,670
and now Zemeckis has brought a crew of

147
00:06:58,670 --> 00:07:04,190
200 to Sonora a town of 5,000 people in

148
00:07:01,670 --> 00:07:05,870
Northern California's Gold Country here

149
00:07:04,190 --> 00:07:07,730
that filmmakers will be working for four

150
00:07:05,870 --> 00:07:10,010
months on back to the future part three

151
00:07:07,730 --> 00:07:12,590
they've built a top secret western town

152
00:07:10,010 --> 00:07:14,270
right by the railroad tracks and because

153
00:07:12,590 --> 00:07:18,520
the mecca's was working the day I talked

154
00:07:14,270 --> 00:07:18,520
to him we had to stay close to the set

155
00:07:33,210 --> 00:07:39,430
my feeling is no I don't think America

156
00:07:36,819 --> 00:07:42,669
will have too much back to the future

157
00:07:39,430 --> 00:07:45,330
and the reason for that is is that the

158
00:07:42,669 --> 00:07:50,800
film the idea of the three films is that

159
00:07:45,330 --> 00:07:54,009
they are a tight trilogy and they're

160
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:55,749
this sort of saga of these this family

161
00:07:54,009 --> 00:07:58,900
in this town and these characters that

162
00:07:55,749 --> 00:08:02,139
go through time my feeling is is that

163
00:07:58,900 --> 00:08:05,080
the law stand as stand on their own and

164
00:08:02,139 --> 00:08:06,699
they'll stand together and I and I think

165
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:10,210
that's actually the difference I think

166
00:08:06,699 --> 00:08:12,719
that most sequels aren't thought out all

167
00:08:10,210 --> 00:08:12,719
at once
