hey everybody norm from tested here and once again we're welcoming Matt from
prop store in our studio Matt how you doing good good how are you know doing
really well now while ago last year you guys had this incredible option from the
movie Warcraft mm-hmm this is a Duncan Jones film yes and obviously based on
World of Warcraft been the online role-playing game forever kind of like
the one that started it's all in a big way but then the the stuff from the
movie is just kind of unreal when you when you look at it in person so it was
so like this is the armor that Adam put on yes in that first video and it wasn't
just armor it was weapons hand prom yup set decoration pieces even all the armor
pieces down to the underpinnings all that very accurate but still very armor
especially really comfortable more mobile and lightweight than you would
and you know an actual suit of armor they made it usable you know most of
this stuff's very cool beautiful stuff that did really well I was following the
auction along and you had lots of like a dozen spear yeah and sword ride yeah
we've got some more of that stuff coming out at big groups of how birds and racks
on those and stuff like that it's really like if you wanted to you could recreate
storm wind in here in your man cave well that's the thing we're talking about
today because there is this new auction going on right now yes right now from
July 1st to July 12th so anybody interested take a look and we want to
talk about some of these pieces because it's amazing that you brought this up to
our studio let's let's start off with the orc here happily the orc of the film
was there were four CG yes you of course a Paul Patton played the half-orc a
human character but what is something like this useful so this was just an
on-set reference now it kinda sounds crazy somebody came in before I thought
it was a mask you know cuz it's painted up and ready to go
but literally there's there's handles on the back of it here even if you look it
was brought on set to get lighting references for what the actual skin
would be and then used later on for the CG artists to make the characters that
is silicone right yeah this yeah must have been so must have either sculpted
by hand or digitally sculpt they must have made a mold cast it in
silicone you have actual hair punching not a lot of actual physical work yep
and paint it up so beautifully too you know amazingly painted it's actually the
same kind of thought behind the big orc weapons like the axe here to which we've
got a lot of axes and and stuff like that but the idea would be that no
actors really use this on set if it's on set reference lighting reference and
then redone later you see in the auction we have some big like foam versions of
swords and stuff oh yeah big al are pretty type things that's what they used
on set but this is definitely you know bring the world to life here with this
type of thing I know what do all the costumes and armor get for this and I
remember visiting them a couple years ago and they did some work on like thor
ragnarok and they made like hopes you know helmet and his big big hammer and
that was also for CG reference because the digital artists would then recreate
that and of course that's what they're doing here it also most very fun to make
- yeah you know like you want to be on this movie and make this big giant axon
with it you know Wow okay physical reference things that were on set yep
but things are also in set set decoration and yes you have a tapestry
here yeah actually this tablecloth is tapestry from the throne room from King
lanes throne room which has the the lion logo on it which you'll see that as a
theme throughout a lot of this stuff a lot of the humans stop with the lion
logo and then from the from the war room kind of not this map necessarily but
there was a lot of maps in the movie and this is of course Azeroth here and they
have the little like war room figurines to set up where all the armies and
forces are going to be going to I remember the scene right there they're
planning their big confrontation you have almost like the hex you know they
got to go back to the RTS origins of Warcraft and they had these figurines on
the table planning out their battles but even stuff like this I'm trying to see
you know yeah okay I can see it was originally maybe a design computer yeah
but then hand-painted and very beautiful but just kind of goes to the the theme
of the movie where everything had to be made you know you've been down too late
they couldn't just get like a little figure with a knight it had to be
accurate like that is the this is the costume that's standing right behind you
yeah that's absolutely right very cool and even the edges of this map here oh
yeah the ring i staged up and modeled nice parchment
paper to begin with and then just print it really really nicely super cool when
they went into battle of course more weapons on human side you have something
that you know it's a fantasy films had they had their boomstick yes and cannon
this is Lothar's boomstick from the film you can actually see a little dwarf
symbol over here so the dwarfs made all the weaponry same with you've got a
boomstick I got the hand cannon don't be jealous but a little bit bigger over
here now what's super interesting to me these
are both stunning yes some props so this is a foam casting I can see the seam
line down here seemingly solid yeah very solid it's you know good weight yeah -
but it's not gonna hurt you if it's bangs against someone this is hand
painted so you see it all this detail here like they're probably stencils that
went on and then some type of painting some sort of cover over right and then
what's interesting here and it look close this almost looks like
a vinyl application here oh you're right it's a good there's a little bit of
relief little straight to it yeah yeah and so they controlled different
applications to get that detail but when you're reading at this distance when
what you're reviewing it reads like red gold unstoppable that's so cool and this
also goes with that yes that goes with the Lothar's hand boom stick over there
fulfilled exactly awesome and getting a look at the foam props here this is a
great opportunity talk about the progression of just different materials
used for four problems yes yes and that's what you've brought these three
swords totally exemplified in these swords exactly so I've got we've got
foam we've got usable you know foam sword anytime you see people running
into battle and movies wielding big swords like this it's this somewhat safe
Ian oh-ho I mean I've heard stories that onset sometimes the the stunt props the
phone props or what causes the most scuffs in and maybe by injuries on set
because people just like to swing the stuff around and you want to play with
it especially if you're wearing this thing exactly you know like I get that
but so these are even like even on camera they look pretty good they look
very real and the super angers out yeah because I can compare this to what you
have down the line here yes this looks like it's real matter right
this is King lanes stunt sword so it looks really good you know it goes along
with this shield over here but these are both resin these are both painted up
beautifully you know oh yeah okay I feel it's urethane yep
and yeah it is a testament to the paint job the paint application here because
whatever one is doing to make this resin look super shiny that reflective shine
yeah this this is Wow and it holds up and it's weather in a way so it's shiny
but looks like it's seen action - exactly exactly it's not his first
battle you know and same with the lion the sculpt here so beautiful yeah all
the tiny etchings in here tiny inscriptions you got a jewel in
here that is a beautiful sculpt and even the handle Wow
yeah yeah the top here almost have the crown effect you know for the King and
all that that is incredible oh gosh it looks like a ruler sword here now and
even though it's still technically a stunt sword it has has a good have some
heft yeah yeah some heft to it all the heft is in the third story okay this
okay whoa yeah
what's this so this was used for the Knights and movie but this is one of the
steel swords that they made they made a steel version of all the different
swords in the movie we sold like King lanes and Lothar's last time but this is
in this auction now it's just like you can tell the difference right this is
holding it if you're not prepared for it you can't even pick it up sometimes I
mean this must have come out of Peter Lyons workshop and I know even carved
out here to reduce some of the white it's still so yeah ft and again with the
details with the filigree with all the different symbols going yeah blade here
and of course leading into the lion and similar handle up there too and and this
is like really a characteristic of the aesthetic style that was chosen for the
film yes right like what a made swords for they made sorts or a bunch of films
or fantasy films historical films the Rings laurel rings of course but the
sorcerer laura larae are very different than the swords for war crafts but
whether this cereal is so different too you know
we're coming from World of Warcraft which has a very cartoony look to it you
got big giant van braces and all this stuff and how do you translate that that
card to meanness into a more real world feel and I think they captured it kind
of throughout even with the design of the orcs to their weapons down to down
to the more human more recognizable stuff you can tell that it's it's just a
bit heightened you know oh I mean just having this on our studio table right
here feels a little bit like set decorating yeah that is so cool Matt
