Welcome back to “Behind the Build.” Today, we’re diving into Tested’s latest collaboration with Spectral Motion, where Adam Savage discovers a groundbreaking approach to creature effects. As Adam himself admits, “I’ve never been scanned like this before.” In this final video of their tour, Adam steps into Spectral Motion’s 3D scanning department to see how they capture every contour of an actor’s face and body.

Lead technician David Antalek demonstrates a photogrammetry scan that uses just a single camera shot at an incredible resolution. He explains, “This method lets us build precise digital models faster than ever, serving as the basis for our custom prosthetics.” You’ll witness the moment Adam watches his own high-definition mesh appear on screen—an experience that’s part tech marvel, part magic.

That’s a wrap on this insider look at Spectral Motion’s studio, where art meets engineering to bring fantastic creatures to life. Thanks for listening!
