Real Steel

'We created 27 8-foot-tall robots. Some of them were hero, stunt, and background. There were literally thousands of parts that had to all fit together, look like real metal, and perform like a real robot. Noisyboy had nearly 2,000 LED lights alone.'

'I had the honor of working with Steven Spielberg on two of the 'Jurassic Park' movies and the last 'Indiana Jones' movie. It was a pleasure working with Shawn Levy. I love his creative energy. Hugh Jackman is a great actor and a true gentleman.'

'I have been prepping for 'Real Steel' since the first 'Terminator.' We've done our share of robots. Technically we’ve made a lot of advancements in the last four years that enabled us to pull this off at this level in a very short amount of time.'

'The panels and shells are made of fiberglass and a custom blend of urethane. The mechanical structure inside is a combination of steel and aluminum and there are several of the robots that are machined aluminum parts.'

'Ever since I was 5 years old, I wanted to make monsters. I was an art major in college but I really wanted to do this type of special effects. I moved out to California to pursue that dream. Stan Winston hired me on the first 'Terminator.''

'The challenge with animatronics is to get a believable performance from something that is a machine. Our background, besides being artists and engineers, is that we’re puppeteers and performers too.'

Real Steel stars Hugh Jackman as the absent father who gets one chance to connect with his son before finalizing of custody for his son to other relatives but it’s the robots that make the big difference in both their lives.

While most people will look at the movie 'Real Steel' as an excuse to have more giant robots blowing each other up, it might be interesting to know that it’s actually based on a short story written by legendary science fiction author Richard Matheson.
