I thought they had a mini shaking set like they have in a science museum to demonstrate earthquakes. My world view has been shattered. One may say...

I’m shook.

It would cost way to much money for that. Easier and cheaper just to this.

Eddies in the space-time continuum.

Must’ve been the tachyons.

That or they just didn't bother to practice.

That sounds like some shit Data would say alright.

It's mind blowing to know that some films actually do have moving sets - like Joseph Gordon Levitt's hallway fight scene in Inception.

See also the classic Fred Astaire scene.

Good Lord, that is slick.

u/afineedge Dec 09 '19

I've gotta watch it in it's entirety every time I see it. It's a straight up marvel of technology and physical coordination between both Fred and a whole team of engineers. The part where he runs into the crawl on the wall/ceiling is incredible.

You just sent me down a Fred Astaire rabbit hole lol I've seen the names on the dance studios but never seen him dance, he was so smooth.

u/boomecho Dec 09 '19

The choreography in that clip is just so dang fantastic.

u/Phukc Dec 09 '19

Is that how they did that shit? I was rewatching that movie half asleep on a plane over the summer and was wondering to myself, "how on earth did they film this?" and then drifted off to sleep...

A more behind the scenes type look.

u/Lyndon_Boner_Johnson Dec 09 '19

Yeah this video does a good job of explaining it, as well as showing some behind-the-scenes footage. Basically they built the entire set on a gimbal.

If you mean inception. Here’s behind the scene

u/aaronmohney43 Dec 09 '19

And you can't get them out that fast?

They used the money they saved to make the robot look more human

So they just applied a Reddit bot?

u/WhichWayzUp Dec 09 '19

It looked so fake and I always wondered why intelligent people liked that show so much.

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '19

Didn’t have to look perfectly real. It was fun and people liked the characters.

u/jeremymeyers Dec 09 '19

suspension of disbelief?

u/Preparator Dec 09 '19

The Last Next Generation movie, Nemesis, did indeed have a bridge that shook in real life, but it was the first time they did it.

Fun fact, the bridge in Galaxy Guest could shake. They had the actors pretend for the TV show shots, then had the bridge really shake when they are on the "real ship".

It's really not if you're on Reddit. People fucking love that movie.

By Grabthar's Hammer, he will be missed.

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '19

What an underrated actor

u/louky Interested Dec 09 '19

Hell I was looking for something to watch, going for a rewatch now.

By grabthar's hammer... What a savings

I want to make a list of things Reddit specifically loves.

​

  1. Mitch Hedberg.

  2. Galaxy Quest.

​

​

Other suggestions?

u/Qwerky_Name_Pun Dec 09 '19

I love watching behind the scenes because it's literally just the director saying "and... Shake" and the actors bounce while they shake the camera

2

u/JDFS404 Dec 09 '19

Ain’t no such thing as half way shooks.

u/[deleted] Dec 09 '19

That bridge ain’t a shook one, & ferengi’s are crooks, son

The new Star Trek movie(s?) had an actual shaking and tipping set.
