Adam Savage on Why Practical Creature Effects Are Worth It — GeekTyrant
In this episode of Tested , Adam Savage talks about practical creature effects in films and why they are worth it as he tours a selection of the practical creatures Spectral Motion, which worked on films like Hellboy II: The Golden Army , Lady in the Water , and the show Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities . 'From animatronic beasts straight out of nightmares to towering costumes for creature performers, this showcase is just a small sample of the decades of incredible work done at Mike Elizalde's studio.' I love when genre films, especially creature feature horror movie lean into the practical effects side of things. I wish we would see more of that from Hollywood.

Adam Savage Gets To Play With The Original HELLBOY Mecha Glove — GeekTyrant
In this video from Tested , Adam Savage is given the oppotunity to examin and play with the original Hellboy mecha glove. 'It's been almost 10 years since Adam finished building his Hellboy Mecha Glove, but his replica has never been in the same room as the original filming prop--until now! 'On a recent trip to effects studio Spectral Motion, Adam meets up with Mark Setrakian and Peter Abrahamson, two of the original designers and builders who made this incredible prop for Hellboy!' This is such a movie prop and I've always loved the style and design of Guillermo del Toro's Hellboy movies. The amount of work that went into building this thing and all of the little details that were included are so cool!
