hey guys adam savage at new york comic con and like at most comic cons i am doing an
incognito and spoiler alert i'm doing it as a ghostbuster this is because ghostbusters
afterlife is coming out next month and i am celebrating by finally putting together
a ghostbusters get up i've been working on for years in fact i got to show much of my costume
to jason reitman and the cast of afterlife let's take a look how's it going buddy good to see you
all right oh my god that's amazing here you hold that part yeah i got this i got this
this is extraordinary i had so much fun this is beautiful oh sorry man yeah don't
touch everything touch everything grab everything this is absolutely stunning
there is so much going on in this well i was like trying to unpack my whole childhood in it yeah
i have rarely had such a rewarding experience of building a prop from a franchise and then getting
to exalt with people inside that franchise about the objects i built first of all can you take me
through what is going on with the different lights in here because there's way more going
on likewise than the packs we used on something uh actually ben edie helped me program these this
is like an off-the-shelf system with addressable leds and we're able to program it i think on his
phone oh you're kidding me no and all three of you are part of the same circuit it's a it's a
chip this big buried inside here come on yeah because the leds does it the battery can stall
yeah no i could run this for three days that's unreal there's the front pack attenuator i had
a problem that there weren't lights on the front of the suit oh and you were like all
right we need to be able to see what would that look like so i'm like oh yeah i can attenuate my
oh your patch is fantastic that is a tough detail people get the patch wrong often and uh
i love the material i love the stitching on it yeah that's very fingers on it this
is fantastic i'm just really authentic also how great does it feel to wear a flight suit it feels
like i should go to work like that every day i fully recognize that my ghostbusters coveralls
are a little more tailored than your average gb uniform that's just because that's the way i
like it i have a second set of coveralls that are oversized like the real ones but i wanted to go a
little bit more tailored so most of the add-ons to my proton pack are actually welded aluminum
my thrower wand is in fact entirely aluminum i love this by the way this detail oh my antenna yes
the tree yeah that's a beautiful detail that should be available that's gorgeous that's
like our childhood that's like what we grew up with on the house that's amazing i love that
beautiful ribbon cable beautiful aging oh so this is called the generator
i know i put a real gentleman come on that is amazing i've never seen that on a pack
this is beautiful the bar graph was the hot is the single hardest part yeah i remember that i think
it was so how did you do this i can't remember i had like i had bought so many electronics
i had like seven different electronic sets for proton packs and one of them had the most
accurate bar graph and i clicked it out gorgeous oh yeah that's great does it pop in and out there
you go oh that's oh yeah the green will oh that is beautiful that one's going yeah there we go
the switch excellent okay i also would love to point out years ago in the early days of tested
i had a ghostbusters get up that i put on and i'm still sad about it because it was so appallingly
inaccurate it was like i taped stuff together without even looking at any reference material i'm
really sorry about that and i'm hoping to uh to erase that memory with today's cosplay because i'm
really happy with how all this came out oh my god logan would have killed for these on set
so heavy i love this this is gonna save you yeah totally no i i even put the toy ones on
my head and i'm like i won't be able to stand ten minutes oh yeah all right so like if you
oh and you can actually see you can yeah yeah absolutely so the ones that we made for the film
with the polaroid those are so beautiful they're beautiful but you can't see through them no so
when he was acting he literally we had to like be like look a little left otherwise he just
even know where to look this is a toy trap that i made more accurate but i added in um
that's amazing i haven't ever done smoke in one of my cosplays before and i'm just i'm super into
this you genuinely about done yourself this the cyclotron is absolutely stunning no no it
is absolutely beautiful and i love the way the light is working i mean obviously anytime we're
doing this kind of stuff we're just we're implying magic and we're doing it through smoke we're doing
it through light uh and this is just one of the things i kept doing was i kept on addressing it
and then looking at it in camera because it's so different and i'm like yes that glow moving
feels right it's like it all you always have to make that adjustment did you have a cover do you
play it open no that's it yeah you play it yeah that's hot that's great oh you got the switch yes
this is amazing this is like our one real addition to the pack it was really important to gil and i
that we have the switch from the movie uh that uh is basically implied in the original but is
never seen i love that you added it every every ghostbusters cosplayer i know is like yes that
switch belongs right there that's where it should be exactly so we're here at comic-con tonight and
this is actually a thrilling night because it's going to be the moment where all these fans of
ghostbusters are going to see the switch for the first time in the operation and i'm clearly
i'm really hoping that it gets the reaction it deserves oh that's so exciting put these guys on
that pinch that pinch of the elbow pads is such a really specific ghostbusters look
does this work let's just double check
excellent count this up
oh yeah oh yeah we are almost there
my super lightweight ecto goggles i'm very grateful for them right now
because that feels great okay one more thing i'm gonna have a ghost trap on my belt and
it's gonna be a fresh one oh lights camera ah this is maybe the most amount of electronics
i have ever had in a single costume this feels like a part of the ghostbusters costume
but kids don't smoke unless you want to be a ghost okay here we go let's see oh yeah
i've overheated it let's do some ghostbusting all right let's go find some ghosts
why yes it is oh my god oh this is it

costume as you it doesn't matter how similar or different they are you know that that person
has engaged in the same obsession as you have you know you share something really important

in it so it's so nice can i take this like and have it attached to my skirt you absolutely can
there is a spring but like getting everything out of the way so that one catch can actually hold
