YEAR 2000 PIC SHOWS THE MARS 1 BEING MOVED TO STAGE FOR SHOOTING ON DE PALMA FILM
Yesterday, Michael Possert, Jr., who was the visual effects crew chief of Dream Quest Images for Brian De Palma's Mission To Mars, posted the above pic on his Instagram page (circa1964), with the following caption, which led to the successive comments:
circa1964 Here we are moving the finished Mission To Mars spaceship - the Mars 1 - to stage for shooting. It was 21' or 6.4 meters from end to end. This was made at Dream Quest Images in Simi California in 2000.#missiontomars #dreamquestimages #briandepalma #garysinise #timrobbins #doncheadle #connienielsen #practicaleffects #vfx #miniature #miniatures #handmade #modelcraft #scalemodel #scratchbuild #modelmaker #modelmaking #custombuild #moldmaker #setlife #behindthescenes #greenscreen #motioncontrol #2000 #spaceship #mars #rocket #blastoff #orbit #crew
curly.phil Wow! That’s crazy 😮😮 What’s the biggest ship you’ve worked on?
circa1964 @curly.phil I think this one. The Nightingale from Supernova was 19 1/2'. The alien craft that rises at the end of The Abyss was 20' across, maybe more. Can't remember but I think 20'. So, this one. Now, cities or landscapes is a whole other thing.
curly.phil @circa1964 😂😂 Go on then. Biggest city and landscape?
circa1964 @curly.phil I will get back to you on that. Memory overload.😁😂
mcsbro Is this the same model that’s currently in the Mission Space line queue at Epcot?
circa1964 @mcsbro I think it is! I just did a search online and found some pics. I would be surprised if it isn't. Thanks for the info.
