hey everyone welcome to green light so today we're going to talk about the behind the
scenes of season two of mandalorian and we're gonna talk a little bit about this
first season behind the scenes as well um so let's get started right now
all right so you see here this is ahsoka ahsoka just kicking some major butt over here
with those uh lightsabers those white lightsabers like that that's really cool
we've never seen anything like this before in the star wars universe um this is also dave filoni's
original character from uh cartoon um more of a 3d cartoon world of clone wars and then brought
into the mandalorian into a live-action setting which is very very new especially for the season
so um let's see here i have some really cool stuff and let's talk about uh the behind the scenes of
uh the mandalorian so you could check it out right now on disney plus on christmas day they released
uh season two of the making of season two the mandalorian and they have the season one as
well now season one um making of the season one mandalorian bts has like multiple different um
different videos and they're all split up in different genres as far i wouldn't say like
genres but different topics throughout filmmaking like directing art design and all that stuff and
sound and all that too and um what they did in the volume too which is what they call
the space uh where they were able to create um uh the mandalorian and the world of the mandalorian
so i do have some gifs here that i can show you real quick here and explain um
kind of uh dave filoni uh john favreau on set here let's uh let's put him on here real quick
so dave filoni here in the center and then you got uh john favreau over here in the glasses
on on your right over here so um on your right over here you got john favreau and
they're talking to the the actress um here that's uh in this um in this show um and they're in the
volume if you could see that you can see kind of um kind of where it splits up on the top
um it's not necessarily like they do very very low angles and i'm sure if they do um they kind of um
uh fix it up with uh post-production with um with cgi and they probably use cgi just to kind of like
band-aid over things and kind of um mesh things in together so you have uh all the stuff anyways
that you see in this volume is from a cgi world from um let's say like a a program like blender
that i have access to and that you have access to that's free and it's just as powerful as any um
3d software out there and you could create these things and put them on maybe an led panel or even
on your uh lcd screen that you have at home and you'd be surprised uh some of the stuff that you
could do uh if you have like a product videos or something something like that you can or inserts
too that you need maybe of a you don't have a fireplace let's say you put fire behind your
lcd screen and you need somebody um to put their hand in front of it uh you need that dramatic look
like right between a snow globe uh with the fire behind it and all that stuff
that kind of stuff helps so this is kind of what they're doing um here and um there's like an old
school method too with that um with everything i just said and they used to use projections
like projection screens and it's funny because um quentin tarantino is a man that uses it currently
currently right now and he still uses it as a stylistic choice uh whenever they do car scenes
if you ever see whenever they do car scenes it looks kind of hyper uh sped up in the background
and all that stuff very very cool you see that in like movies like pulp fiction
definitely see that in like um in in films uh i feel like uh jackie brown was the only one
kini knight used like that i could be wrong i think they used it a little minimalist league
no actually i don't think they used it at all for a jackie brown but they used it most of his movies
especially you know once upon a time in hollywood uh as well so i'm going to move on to the next
gif over here that i have going on here this next gif really cool um we have mando behind the scenes
here i believe they used arya lexus for these um i don't know which specific arya alexa they used
but they used re-alexa's for um and they used prime lenses uh for all of these uh
these uh episodes of this uh film so you can check them out on disney plus if you haven't
already let me know in the comments down below if you have seen the show um if there's anything on
the show that you're looking to explore and learn how they got uh done how they were able to do uh
the show and it's so cool that they were able to do a lot of practical stuff on set for the actors
for the filmmakers and even like let alone the focus puller which nobody really thinks
too much about uh let alone even sound sometimes so i'm going to show you a little bit of the
volume really quick here um there's a gif here on the change you see that change real quick here and
you have dave filoni in here too on set somebody wearing the mando helmet i believe that could be
pedro pascal under that mando helmet and they're kind of testing everything out and checking out
all the cool stuff that's very very cool when they use a very dark they even have a filmmaker here
that i should point out if i can only remember his name he's from the first season here he's in
the center here right next to dave filoni um and he's talking and nodding today felony when they
change the set to his set which is where um his table you see his table right here that they're
standing in front of and uh everything changes up and it turns into that set fairly quickly so cool
to see how some of the props and the lighting changes and everything like that it's so cool
um because this is kind of like taking all these real life props and putting them in a 3d um live
set where you could put um your background and it'll change um uh you could kind of uh do that
basically on your phone now um you could 3d scan a whole room and then project it into a 3d realm
in blender for free and be able to do that and then get your model put it in there and then
you can shade your model to your room and then put your your 3d model on your 3d um in your 3d scene
off of your 2d uh image or video or whatever have you very very cool stuff they're able to cut
that in between from the green screen and compositing and all that stuff by having
um the volume and which is what they call the volume and having this 360 led 3d space so this
last gif that i have here it's going to show you more or less and give you an idea of what um the
you know what all the projection mapping is doing so basically everything in um
in real life is being projected um live for you on those led 3d walls but it just
maneuvers around depending on the camera view also depending on whether or not they need more space
and they need to be able to see a certain section that's not
built because you can see behind the camera over here in this um 3d version of the volume here
you can see that there's no uh led uh screen so very very cool stuff that they have going on and
it changed everything so i really really highly recommend uh checking out this documentary on
disney plus currently right now you can watch um the whole making of of the first season
and they'll explore more about this volume here which is what i was doing here
on this video and learning more about that uh for you guys so you uh all of you can see uh the
newest and latest uh technology and uh techniques that are used in hollywood currently right now
not that a lot of people haven't explored this video already but now that the season
two has um has come out i'm gonna put myself up on here now that season two has been released on
christmas i really wanted to make a point of this um seeing that they are doing this consistently
the season two uh video is a documentary is about like an hour and ten minutes so it's not long you
can see having seen the first season behind the scenes you can see how they condensed it down and
how they were able to cut it down you can even see footage that they had to shoot some of the show
some of the stuff um they had to shoot it throughout covid and i'm sure they have uh shot
before a covid because a lot of it it looked like they had to use um um uh like this they called it
huckleberry which was uh the code name for the season two of the mandalorian and i believe a
season one as well was huckleberry as well so they had to use their code name huckleberry so
they can go and film and everything like that before uh kovid so um you can see them wearing
masks and stuff like that towards the end of that documentary of season two very very cool
to see how they were able to kind of incorporate that and get through and power through and get
the season two out for us which i'm so happy about that because it changed everything for the
star wars world i'm a huge geek of star wars and that's one of the things we do here on green light
so on green light here we love doing fanboy stuff talking about fan stuff fan movies and um explore
