Close Encounters of the third kind - SFX Tribute Part 2of2

[anmajumder]

The best created Science Fiction Movie of our time.Superb futuristic imagination reflected in this film. Last 12 minutes are all time amazing to me as it seems an emotional and sentimental journey of Human to an unknown civilization far..far away in the universe. I am obsessed.

Thanks you Steven and your team.Waiting for "Interstellar'.

[werlecar]

Which version is this one, that shows the inside? Everytime it's on cable or movie channels, I'm always hoping I'll get this one!

Thank you for posting.

[Ochibason]

Why is it only Homosapiens vouls???? A E I O U

[alicia50044]

Who plays the little boy in this?

[baz2963]

@alicia50044 Cary Guffey

[kalimaganeshshivan]

The special effects in this movie were amazing and way before there time. To remake this film would be sacrilege! Kudos to Steven Spielburg!

[kalimaganeshshivan]

@kalimaganeshshivan "their" time not there. I hate making stupid typos like that!

[simonowis]

FYI, these are Visual Effects, not Special Effects or SFX (which can also mean sound effects). Special effects are things like rain, snow, wind - physical effects that are done on movie sets or movie locations - and that are captured as part of the shooting process. Visual effects are effects applied as enhancements after the main shoot - in other words "post production".

[timcp1]

This movie is silly. Three fingered beings are suppose to be able to engineer these highly structured sophisticated space machines? Not with their frail bodies and lack of proper articulation due to having only three fingers and being built like a 7 year old. Also, if they're able to function in the same environment as humans, that means they must exist in the same environment , and there's no way these beings would survive.

[michaelandjennyshow]

@timcp1 intelligence outwits brute. otherwise humans wouldn't still be on this planet.

[timcp1]

@michaelandjennyshow Humans have brute strength and intelligence. They have both. Aliens built with intelligence but ham-stringed with three fingers and a lollipop heads and the body of starved children can not accomplish the physical abilities necessary to build such highly structured and refined machinery capable of interstellar travel.

[ReverendSyn]

3:46 - You can see an upside down Kenner R2-D2 action figure to the left of the three lights on the ship.

Miniatures of Darth Vader's Tie Fighter, a mailbox, and some WWII toy planes were also integrated into the mothership model. But R2-D2 is the only bit we can actually see in the movie.

[MetalApe]

@ReverendSyn 3:46 Cool. Funny! Thanks! Didn't see the R2D2 til now! :)

[1219548tom]

we are close from knowing the truth.....

[richimorton]

Strange how they went to all that effort with the interiors (no CGI in 1977) and then chopped it all out !

[2degucitas]

I think you did a great job!! It blows me away when I realize all these FXs are NOT CGI, but models and other old-school effects! I remind my kids of these things when watching old movies and tv shows.

[jowfofofo]

Wow, I think its the only video where you can see the ship from inside. It looks like a city.

[aussiETau]

Very awesome compilations...even with the replacement sound it's more than acceptable and great effort and art put to it. Cheers

[MetalApe]

@aussiETau Thank You. This is a rarely Comment. Indeed, few of my Tributes got deleted already because of the Orignial Movie Soundtrack! So, i don't dare to use them anymore. A big CHEERS back to you! ; )

[intermender]

Gee ma, look at all the purdy lights! :D

[Avalution]

I WOULD BE WILLING TO GO IF THEY LET ME TAKE ALL OF MY PETS HEE HEE HEE I CANT LIVE WITHOUT MY BABIES

[Aces214214]

Wow they so ripped off this movie when they made Independence Day

[wilmajo]

Metal Ape, I hope they don't remove this! I totally got why you weren't using the original music. Everything I love, they remove. Your tributes to CE3K are awesome. I was an extra, one of the little fat girls in the truck at Crescendo Summit. One of the best experiences of my life.

[0Myles0]

I like when the ship is showing off its skills @ 5:50

[Mod60s]

One of the best ever! Was even more fantastic when I saw on the big theater screen!

[ReedLinkFootage]

Dr. Jonathan Reed Uses The Link Bracelet - Alien Technology - On Camera. Odisealink. Watch here ___

watch?v=-Jmm2SaAbJo

[2degucitas]

@ReedLinkFootage He's a proven hoaxer!!

[angriffeins]

It's pacman!

[TK42138]

The bit where the kid says 'goodbye' Gets me every time.

[thegreenhornet95]

@TK42138 I remember that very well from when I was a kid. And I was the same age as that kid. :)

[electroluxia]

Douglas Trumbull's Special Effects in the '60s, '70s and '80s remain unparalleled, and are superior to today's 3D CGI. (The Stargate sequence in 2001: A Space Odyssey remains unparalleled, and *that* was done in 1968). He is, and remains, the finest special effects person in the entire world.

[TK42138]

Totally agree.

[Nickjaa]

@electroluxia sfx from the 60s are absolutely not superior to today's cgi

[electroluxia]

@Nickjaa FX from the 1960’s are absolutely superior to today’s CGI, particularly optical/real world light-based FX.

[UFOSPACE1999]

excuse me, am I missing something here. I know ur showing off the visuals. BUT should WE NOT being hearing John Williams music? COME ON ASSHOLE get ur shit together. TRY AGAIN!!!

[electroluxia]

I agree that the person who did this tribute should have used John Williams' music--*something* from the original motion picture soundtrack over the visuals--but the compilation is beautiful nonetheless...

[MetalApe]

@electroluxia Well, you actually HEAR "REAL" john williams music, in the last half! Thats the problem - Today, i recieved a warning Message from YouTube: "...have content that is owned or licensed by..." So, get prepared for another beloved tribute of mine that gets deleted... :( thats why i use less and less "original" music .... sorry to everyone who dislikes it.

[electroluxia]

@MetalApe Right, I do see what you mean. That is a very unfortunate circumstance. Very sorry to hear that. Seems YouTube is being more than ridiculous about observing "copyright law." You're not trying to *sell* these tributes. You're merely doing a tribute for people to enjoy. John Williams, etc., have already made their millions, so to use "copyright" as an excuse to threaten what you, and people like you, is totally lame. Best of luck with your tributes. They are a joy to watch. Best.

[Yoetah]

Fascinating that Spielbery "envisioned" using the cover of clouds to conceal the city of angels!

Absolutely fascinating

[getorphan]

Supposedly the being at 6:30 was real as Spielberg was not satisfied with one/some of the models used in the movie - and requested that a meeting be set up with one of the beings he had seen at his secret society initiation. Well that is what I hear but there is no way for me to prove that.

[BigPuschlerX]

I might be mistaken, but I think that J. Allen Hynek had an appearance in this movie.

[rubhenol]

Also there is a real life troglodyte in this scene, from earth.

[BrainyCesarin1]

This is the SPECIAL EDITION of 1980

[MiloDC]

What is it with thse YouTube tribute dorks who substitute a great score with generic crap in their videos?

Protip: If John Williams scored the movie that you're cutting up, USE THE MUSIC FROM THE SOUNDTRACK. There's a really good chance that it's going to be far better than whatever lame music you're itching to replace it with.

[MetalApe]

If you USE the MUSIC from the SOUNDTRACK theres a REALLY GOOD CHANCE your VIDEO gets DELETED! Already lost 4 beloved tributes because of using the original Soundtrack. Sorry you dont like it my friend!

[MiloDC]

If that's true, then just use a different recording of the soundtrack. John Williams' movie scores have been played by countless orchestras worldwide. If you can't do that either, then just play the sound from the original video -- music, speech, and sound effects. Clearly, that is acceptable on YouTube, since there are thousands of movie clips on this site. Either choice is much better than the hatchet job that you've posted.

[MetalApe]

You statet several times you dont like my Video - ok with me - you insulted me - fine. Feeling better now? Thank you for your Time.

[MiloDC]

I apologize for the insults.

[MetalApe]

Accepted.

[SiriusUfosummoner7]

The visual of this part in Close Encounters of the Third Kind kind of reminds me of Ezekiel Chapter 1: 1-4, and the vision of the chariot of Yahweh.

[CapitanoGUC]

and whats that ???? - soe persian mythologie or so ????

[MetalApe]

Lets behave ourselfs and be nice to each other...

[Bassfiend567]

I wander if Steven Spielberg noticed the motif from Jaws in there, lol

[kuribayashi84]

Wow, the SFX are even better than those from the first Star Wars, made in the same year.

[michaelandjennyshow]

@kuribayashi84 Totally. But arguably Star Wars had a great deal more effects needed than Close Encounters so that's probably why. They're both so awesome and textured, tho.

[Tubularm8]

I like the original ending better then this one.

[McDannyto]

3:46 ,,se ve a R2D2 boca abajo adelante de las 3 luces..!

[Cyranorick]

One of the beste szenes of the movie.. !

[toyo1369]

95 % of ufo films are terrorism ! this film is the only film sane among ufo films! Power no need this kind of films;want terror and scare, to have humanity slave and stupid ,and far from E.T. reality!

[featheon]

Can you imagine the level of this man's brain?

[toyo1369]

creates an humanity of zombie,slaves,terrified(ignora­nt and stupid), is a priority for any "govern" that want the total controll(the only reason of life for ILLIMINATI and the 666)! in this way works with ,Psicopharma,Trash Food(ogm and fats,...) with Trash TV(serie and films),of Propaganda too,and with VERICHIP or Mark of the Beast(according the Prophecy of Apocalipse)!

[Bassfiend567]

you say we're stupid. you can't even spell.

[toyo1369]

Sorry;no stupid; i meant : human OGM (for usa); jews are 666 dna ! my languagge is italian !

[LTstudios]

the aliens at the end were created by a man called carlo rambaldi. who also created the hyrdrolic alien head parts in ALIEN. He also created E.T.

[toyo1369]

i met in italy carlo rambaldi and i have to say that he is a really statunitense; he recived 2 oscar for the creation of "aliens" (ET and Alien,films), and he no belive in ET on this planet! Wash braining ,propaganda! isn t statunitense to be ignorant and stupid,or under wash braining, but is the country to make you ,so! the country where human become a zombie slave OGM,ready only to kill and at suicide!

[LTstudios]

okay I have no idea what your saying. Proberbly because your italien. And how the hell are 95% of UFO films terrorism! What does osama film the UFO's crashing into buildings or something?

[toyo1369]

USA produces only ARMY for sell all around the world(creating wars),and Propaganda wash braining by CINEMA! all is Propaganda or Distraction! statinutense are only the most ignorant and supid consumist citizen(dangerous) for this planet! think only that who destroy T.T. in the 911(no a casual number in usa mind),now are destroing economy and all,because USA and israel is the only great obstacle at the NWO!

[LTstudios]

Sorry, i don't understand what your trying to say. i hope your not using babel fish language translator. that thing sucks :)

[toyo1369]

-vai all inferno ,tu ed il tuo paese di merda-; this is Illuminati(italian word) languagge;see back of one dollar currency!

[LTstudios]

i kinda of understand what your saying, but i'm not american, i'm ENGLISH. this is an american film. so don't tell me to go to hell. and what ever your trying say sounds likes a bunch crap and makes very little sense (if i understand what your saying)

[toyo1369]

si vede che conosci le pellicole di Dario Argento(Inferno, e'una di queste),anche perche' non credo che uno statunitense o inglese(stessa cosa,per intelligenza), abbia la volonta' d' andare a vedere sul vocabolario!

[LTstudios]

dunno what your trying to say, but it sounds like your trying to insult me because i'm english, which is uncalled for. We are quite different from Americans, even though we speak the same language. I know Dario Argento, he helped to make dawn of the dead (or zombi for you.) Asia Argento was in land of the dead i think.

[toyo1369]

to know the word INFERNO,you have to be a fan of Argento! USA(666 in the 3 alphabets),and UK are only the residences (empires after the roman empireT.T.;COMMOWEALTH and NATO)of 666 !The Beast no need more these 2 trashlands,bec. are an obstacle at the NWO; the end is NOW! if you like horror films think about 999 and 911 used in Uk and USA as number of emergency calls;999-666,11 are towers of empire(T.T.)and 9 is the base of God and the beast,and a really strange number;9 x any number(decimal too

[LTstudios]

oh your just a crack head. i thought you were just an italien guy who was trying so say something clever but couldn't speak english very well. But, nah your just crack who thinks the U.K and U.S.A are evil because our emergency numbers are 999 and 911. your a lunitic. go join the nazi's so you can all be predudice together like a big happy family. (i'm not insulting italiens just you as a person)

[toyo1369]

NAZISM and COMUNISM are same idea for a NWO,by usa and england illuminati! see for-- BUSH NAZI CONNECTION --! hitler,mussolini as saddam(created by cia since 59) and all dictators on this planet,makes only the imperialiast usa-england interests! terrorism usa,and Controll Sistems in UK are an example of the NWO tomorrow!

[LTstudios]

i'm not a nazi, i'm not prejudece unlike you. All your saying is a bunch of unproven rumours and speculations. And your still not making much sense. Are 12 years old or something?

[Bassfiend567]

Go pop some paranoid pills you crazy.

[Onewhoislove]

Trumbull also did Brainstorm too, another great sci-fi flick.

[Galaxy360]

If Earth started a war with an alien race we would get owned. Utterly destroyed.

[c0y0tx]

if human Race becomes a threat to the universe as it is today to the earth. yes we would be seen as parasites by higher levels of intelligence and guess what happens to parasites?

[ReverendSyn]

One other thing. It seemed like there were other people being prepped and trained to go with the aliens. Apparently professional people trained for years in preperation for this day.

Then Dreyfuss came staggering in and they let him go to without question.

Is that really fair to the other travellers who've been working hard and preparing for years to let some ADHD riddled failure as a human just go right on up with them? Why does HE get special treatment?

[TheTerminator1]

im pretty sure those were the same people that were in the helicopter that he and the girl left. the other people summoned.

[schmittelt]

I always thought that he was chosen by the aliens from the very beginning whereas the trained professionals were not. No one really understands this except perhaps Prof. Lacombe. (Remember, he says "They belong here more than we.") This seems to speak to Spielberg's decision to make the lead character in this story a fallible "everyman", someone whom we can all identify with.

[jenniferbabe]

can "we" put any other chink pedo mongoloids corrupt on yahoo with fake president of yahoo with pedo jews (not communist with billionaires , dictatorship of organized crime) , judah making mockery think "smart" , dumb with their demon minion retard mongoloid races , as stupid as they look , learn from Me judah i may help you , feed cats/kittens , follow me [Utopia] and there may be hope , some who rebel with demon minion races , don't like cats , seriously this Will Be Our Standard

[jenniferbabe]

as you wish corrupt goddamn judah pedo media, aliens would NEVER agree to what you have put on this planet , as usual with ur old testament farc your false fairy tales to deceive , dream on as in "star wars" good guys for strip joints and casinos, what idiots no one falls for that shit, oh judah so smart , corrupt foreigners to destroy America , damn you to hell

[jenniferbabe]

and the demon mex , negro, polak, chink, minion races that work before you.... that enjoy and use ur pedo deception to attempt to "rule" our govs.

[jenniferbabe]

oh fuck you judah media and little red light , Believe Me , They WILL NOT LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE....I PROSECUTE YOU BEFORE THEM

[jenniferbabe]

leave it to judah to warp what is to come to be [the only "gods" they will ever Know], these ones seek the intelligent ones who live in poverty, suffering, torture, and torment , while corrupt ignorant ones and casino and strip joint owners drug dealers/pushers and corrupt cops prosper , this beyond basic evolution of the hominid Mind to progress , now they Judge and I Who Summon Prosecute Corrupt hominids viciously before their Eyes....for Ultimate Judgment

[uwmbigb]

this movie was the only movie ever to be invovled intimately with NASA as they wrote aletter during preliminary filiming supposedly dictating how the aliens are potrayed. It is alleged that this movie was intended to serve as a "public acclimation campaign" designed to prepare the world for true contact scheduled to happen years later. Apparently something in 1979 at ducle NM stopped that

[tedbroken]

is the music inside the mothership the same music in the actual movie? meaning is this way it actually plays out or is it made different for this tribute? Ive never been able to catch the 1980 edition. It seems most people don't like seeing inside the ship. I think it looks pretty.

[airdriver]

Despite being 30+ years old(OUCH!!)this movie has held up rather well despite the advent of CGI. But the Mothership scene at 3:54 should be seen on the big screen in order to fully appreciate the true sense of enormity.

[muratkli]

the only evidence that there is e.t. intelligence in other parts of the universe is that they never bothered to contact us.

[c0y0tx]

are we that much boring? probably we look like ants making a war every year and a half nonstop for the last 7000 years.

[muratkli]

Couldn't put it better

[DevilMaster]

Did the mothership model actually have all those lights, or were they painstakingly added by hand by the animators?

And what's the "spidery" alien at 06:35 supposed to be? It looks VERY different from the aliens we see at 06:50!

[babboonkill]

hes their leader or something

[cnvi08]

the model had the original lighting. very little was added with animation.

[MaximillianSmith]

oh the bible nuts are out.. i will stick with the aliens.

[KeithOIbermann]

Nice lobby in that space ship

[DesertFox43]

to think were the only life form in this whole galaxy and universe is kind of stupid imo

[closeholydarkness]

it's arrogant to think we're alone.

[ReverendSyn]

So Richard Dreyfuss thinks so little of his wife and family he's willing to desert them to go onto an alien spacecraft where they'll do God knows what to him? He has CHILDREN for fucks sake and he just abandon his parental responsibilities just like that? What kind of low down selfish bastard is he?

Does he really hate his wife and children THAT much?

[ReverendSyn]

Please pardon my language.

I know his wife left HIM, but he still pretty much alienated his family. As such I could never like him as a character.

[c0y0tx]

I understand but he was looking for fulfillment and significance can you blame a human being for doing it so? some humans do it through alcohol, or drugs others through workaholic habits. this example is someone looking for its real path in life. I like the character because his not perfect actually he is a disaster, like most of us.

[ReverendSyn]

I understand the whole "Personal fulfillment" thing entirely, don't get me wrong. And if he was living alone that would be perfectly fine.

But he made a choice to commit to a woman and raise a family. He chose to take responsibilities to ensure the well being of his family. And that means having to make sacrifices to live up to your responsibilities. Commitments MUST always be honored. Absolutely NO exceptions.

Yes, I can blame him. The man abandoned his family to joyride with aliens.

[c0y0tx]

last question. would you leave? if you had the chance? this is a question I've being making my self for long time. and I tell you

[muratkli]

I would baby, yes I would. A one way ticket

[Tubularm8]

Hell yeah ;))

[muratkli]

I would leave

[c0y0tx]

hypothetically speaking the most Important thing in your world are your family values. then that is your ship.

[LTstudios]

dude, the guy wasn't getting on with his wife anyway. i understand that he really should have stayed but i think "joy riding" with aliens is far more inportant, and if his family do care about him they would understand that. like the woman at the end understood.

[xSUBn]

Yes. It is Neary. Two versions exist. One with the Neary Devil's Tower creation, the other with the full Neary alien conversion (not shown in this). If they made a full DVD version with everything in it, anyone, please let me know.

[BillyBatsonMarvel]

I've always wondered if this film was based on actual events?

Didn't everyone believe in little green men in the 70's?

If so, why are Grey's represented?

[nendo]

not. purly non fictional film

little greeb men is just a nickname. grey it was most alien records seem to be the colour of aliens. form stories. i think

[cyclopticeye]

I hope they never ever remake this movie or they will ruin it. To me it is already perfect. It is iconic.

[Tubularm8]

Emm these are clips from the remake/special edition from 1980, the original was made in 1977.

[blackknight2545]

They were talking to the Aliens with a ARP 2500 Synthesizer.

[Djbobby86]

Oh man, they need to make a new movie of the Close Encounters of the third kind, but with the new special effects. That Will be incretible to watch.

[Djbobby86]

This is actually a real truth event, They wont said publicly but if you do your research you will find the truth of this movie. The govermen chance bodies of humans and aliens. I dont now actually what happend next but I now that it happend. For my resorces they chance 60 humands for 60 aliens and they weare going to bring them back on some time of like a year for studing.

[markpacker]

Man, where's a minigun when you need it?

[shep1227]

This was my son's first time seeing anything about Close Encounters. It reminded him of the death star from Star Wars. We loved the video.

[ORACLE063]

The large alien that comes out, The long lanky one, is the alien. The little ones that come out later are the humanoid hybrids. Thats why they take people. Genetic diversity. They have been doing this for years.

[ROKERPARK1968]

I keep an open mind about aliens and ghosts,but for you to turn round and say they have been doing this for years,how can you be so sure?Wait dont tell me,they took you,hahahahahahahahahahahaah,c­ome on man!!!!

[ORACLE063]

The little greys? how can i say they have been coming here for years? search Wandjina search Sego Canyon Utah. Search Mesopotamian "eye idols" search nazca lines. "gods" in prehistory descended from the skies, created man, dispensed knowledge and wisdom, left to the skies, promised to return one day. All legends are based on some fact. The fact priest changed short greys to giant humans, is to add the usual religious shock and awe.

[ReverendSyn]

If there are aliens how come the only people who ever claim to be visited are either the crazies or backwoods hicks no one beleives?

[ORACLE063]

Hicks, do see them more often than not, yes. Im not concerned with those sightings. The ones that interest me are ones like the phoenix lights and the various airline black box recordings of strange craft, even norad picked something up after a pilot reported a ufo

[zappyhod]

nice clip

[katelyn100]

This was a really good Alien movie

[ThroneTelevision]

The Spaceships Of Yah--- are twenty thousand,even thousands of angels, Yah--- are among them as in Sinai as for the holy place. Pslam Chapter 68 verse 17

[1gregmichael]

Favorite movie of all time. Love that clip.

[ORACLE063]

2 KINGS 2:11-12

EXODUS-Pilar of cloud and fire.

EZECHEIL 1-wheel within a wheel with glowing metal.

ALSO almost all THE BOOK OF ENOCH

[ThroneTelevision]

The Bible is filled with Spaceships That is how the foretold Messiah is getting back,not Jesus or Muhammed...The Messiah has a Hebrew Name..

[MasterJediDude]

The book of Enoch is apocryphal (i.e. NOT included in the official Bible).

[Nichen]

AWSOME effects...I would say these effects are in a way better than they´re used today

[SkateMaps]

Has Alot to do with the bible

[ThroneTelevision]

Close Encouters Has a bible connect to it....

[Murtayuri0666]

Realy god

[ThroneTelevision]

No substitute the creture aliens for black men and then you'll have what God and the angels really look like and also how they trravel in spaceships...

[Spiralogicist]

I always thought it was more kinda, Jean-Luc Picard and the mixed race Federation....seriously, glad I found this clip. Revelation 18 ish onwards - Star Trek Insurrection 1998, including the square 'new jerusalem' ship. Kind regards to all, sorry if I post in the wrong place, haven't been on this planet long ! x

[Krazyk2thet]

thank you for adding these scenes. this is probably one of my favorite movies of all time!

[GreatMoviesForever]

my favorite sci-fi movie of all time! thanks, i rated and add to my favorites.

[MetalApe]

Thank you! When i have time i'll try to make and post up more vintage Sci-Fi Special Effects.

[GreatMoviesForever]

ypu welcome

[GreatMoviesForever]

sorry i meant You Welcome

[VozdaSabedoria]

Wow, dude, all these sequences are amazing, thank you for put them here. Close Encounters is a eternal movie.

[MetalApe]

Thank you Vozda! Yes, a special Movie, and its amazing what they did with handbuild Models, Cameras and Light back then.
