Adam Savage's One Day Builds: EPIC Spacesuit! (Part 4)

Published 2021-12-08
We're at the final stretch of Adam's extensive build of two xEMU-inspired spacesuits that's consumed the latter of half of 2021. But with the suits sewn up and wired with electronics, it's time for a full pass of weathering to give them some real character and history. And to cap off this months-long project, Adam and G4's Kevin Pereira suit up in the completed spacesuits and test their mobility and dexterity in a friendly game of chess! The perfect opportunity for a photo shoot and lighting tests before heading off to make our short film!

  • @DaddyDoom
    Stunning final result. Hope there're more big builds like this one in the near future.
  • @IanAProPirate
    Most people have safety squints. Adam has creativity squints. I love having you in my life Adam, even if it's one-sided! Thank you!
  • Adam dressed his employer (who is constantly checking in on his progress) in the ‘roadworker orange’ suit while he got the white one, had “get back to work” blasting in his ears at regular intervals and made him pose with a litterpicker claw. This was definitely a power move and I’m so impressed. Edit: he also literally put a beacon on it to “keep an eye on the status of his workers”
  • @andy-in-indy
    I like how Kevin starts channeling Thomas Jane (Detective Miller from The Expanse ) as soon as he puts the suit on.
  • Kevin and Adam are like two grown up kids. It's hilarious seeing them together and how stoked they are about the suits.
  • @FN43
    7:03 as a cellist I love that you synchronized the music with that clock / metronome thingy in the back of the frame! the time-lapse really feels connected to the "reality". Editor, GREAT JOB!
  • @peevester9987
    I don't have as much an aversion to clean costumes as Adam does, but the weathering on the white suit, and the way it brought out the mesh in the beta-substitute cloth, REALLY sold it as something worn on the moon. Fantastic build, and it kind of makes me want to build one - other than a "contagion" hazmat suit, it's about the only thing I'd wear going to a con right now. I'm thinking there's a way to achieve some of the look (say, just the right jumpsuit, with strategic padding) that could be modded to attach to a backpack to get a similar effect without god-tier making skills.
  • @211sambo
    I love how Adam's face and beard is getting weathered by the dust during the process as well.
  • I seriously would looove to watch a space movie with suits designed by Adam Savage
  • @garetkonigsfeld2
    I know these are older videos. But in my opinion, these are some of Adam's best work. The suits look like you could do a space walk. Really nice job. Thanks for taking us along 👍.
  • @wolfe1970
    When you did the king Arthur Medieval suit with Terry English i never thought you could outdo that series, oh boy was a wrong, this build has being epic to watch, and such an inspiration too
  • @onerian8178
    its funny how perfect adams cave is as a sci fi background
  • @jontaylor8447
    Adam you have perfected the art of playing dress-up. Your work is absolutely incredible, as always.
  • @xmetal280
    Norm’s photos with the good camera are amazing, what an incredible result!
  • @ethobbyshow
    I like Kevin but he doesn't deserve that suit. No one does, it needs to go into a museum for best props ever made ever. Incredible work Mr. Savage
  • This build is So Good! There was a pretty big jump in detail between eps 3 and 4 in this series. A loooooooong cut of the entire process for those of us who run build videos like others run Spotify would be greatly appreciated. 💖
  • This is one of his BEST builds to date, gonna watch it over again, the Samaritan build was amazing but this one, off the hook
  • @RealAndySkibba
    Watching Adam weather props is like watching Bob Ross paint. Always incredible.
  • Loved seeing Adam and Kevin suit each other up! It felt just like watching a work crew gear up for a job.
