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

Another vintage Special Effects Tribute. All UFO Special Effects Scenes from the Movie Close Encounters of the third kind (INCLUDING the extended spaceship scene from the remake 1980) are cut together (almost) in chronological order.

If You don't want to see the extended Spaceshipscenes, skip from 7:30 to 9:28!
If you want to hear ONLY original Music - Start at 6:34 and quit complaining please!

Quote Wikipedia: "Special Effects by Douglas Trumbull (born April 8, 1942). A film director and special effects supervisor. He was responsible for the special effects of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Blade Runner."
Because runningtime is more than 12 Minutes, i had to split in into 2 parts.

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.

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

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

@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! ; )

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.

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

@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.

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'.

[michaelandjennyshow]

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

[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.

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.
