It’s eco friendly, fully biodegradable, and (technically) abundant.
Honestly we should be weary cuddling up to plastic.
(I don’t actually remember - they prob used the bones & still covered them in masks & whatnots?)We should be wary of plastic. Deep down they are made of dinosaurs
Except they are not, oil is made from dead compressed plankton
Her corpse:water ratio is 0.
Care to share with us not in the know?
They used real human skeletons because it was cheaper to pick them up from medical suppliers.
The actors, including JoBeth Williams (pictured) weren’t informed that they were interacting with genuine human remains until filming wrapped.
Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland also used medical skeletons. It wasn’t that long ago that they were really easy to purchase, a couple instructors at my university had full skeletons and would bring them in for class. I wanted to buy one just to keep in my closet as a joke, but beer came first.
In Germany a school recently held a funeral for their school skeleton, which was an actual human. They suspected that this was a young Indian man. Up to the 20th century, you could easily buy a dead person from India. There are still schools with actual human remains.
I plan on donating my me to a school with human remains, for dissection in their cadaver lab. Afters, composting. Probably won’t happen, but we’re gonna try
The more interesting tidbit is that this is actually pretty common. The prop house using real skeletons was actually pretty common and not unique to this production. The notable thing about this film was the sheer number of skeletons that they used, so they basically scooped up everything that was out there, and how much the live actors actually interacted with the skeletons. It wasn’t particularly unusual for skeletons to be used as props.
Really, just about any time you saw a skeleton on screen before the 90s or so, it was probably real. A lot of real world props and decorations also used real skeletons, sometimes to the surprise of the people using them. For example, if you rode the original Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disney Land, you saw real human skeletons.
So you’re saying my chance to make it as an actor will outlive me
Hah! And they said my film degree would amount to nothing. Well look at me now! [ drops dead ]
The crazy thing is that this isn’t limited to human remains.
Fake cameras often cost more than actual cameras. Fake food is more expensive than real food, which is then wasted.
Fake food is often designed to survive heat from sets and lights. Filming for ads is different than filming movies, but the same idea applies. They also make low-sound versions of things like paper bags as to not ruin takes when things get carried by actors, moved around, or dragged on the set floor.
I’ve wasted SO much money shooting movies with fake cameras.
Rookie mistake
True dat. Gotta start with fake money.
Fake food can be reused and real food can’t, mkaing fake food cheaper in the long run.
We have some fake flowers as decor. They’re on their fifth year. It is a fight to let me bring real flowers in but there are so many outside
Thats why I only eat fake food. It saved me so much money over my lifetime.
Using fake firearms is more expensive than using real ones with blanks, using real money is often cheaper than fake Hollywood money
Lord of war used real AKs for that reason
I heard that they just used real ghosts 👻 too 😱 /s
not union ghosts =/
