While <em>Videodrome<\/em> began life as a tax-shelter picture, early in production the project was picked up by Universal Studios. Working under more commercial auspices had drawbacks. But it also meant that Cronenberg was working with a much larger effects budget. Which, in the hands of the Baron of Blood, certainly did not go to waste.<\/p>\n<p><em>Videodrome <\/em>follows Max Renn (<strong>James Woods<\/strong>), a small-time porn mogul who\u2019s on the hunt for \u201ctougher\u201d programming. One of his minions dredges up a pirated broadcast of a plotless torture session called \u201c<em>Videodrome<\/em>.\u201d Sensing he\u2019s on to something that could redefine entertainment, Max searches for the creators of the program. However, with each exposure to the <em>Videodrome<\/em> signal, Max\u2019s grip on reality begins to blur into something entirely new\u2026and fleshy.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-3.gif\" alt=\"Videodrome Television Effect\" class=\"wp-image-358446\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-3.gif 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-3-768x416.gif 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>Cronenberg was only a child when television first started to ingratiate itself into people\u2019s homes.

How mass media can become a literal outgrowth of our psyches and vice versa.<\/p>\n<p>Long before interactive screens look over our lives, <em>Videodrome<\/em> envisioned a world where we wouldn\u2019t just look at our devices, they\u2019d look back at us. Where we\u2019d touch them and, in turn, they\u2019d touch us back.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-2-1.gif\" alt=\"Videodrome Television Effect\" class=\"wp-image-358445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-2-1.gif 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-2-1-768x416.gif 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>One of the central images in the film is of a swelling television screen engulfing a man\u2019s head. In the scene, Max receives a tape from his secretary (it\u2019s actually Betamax, <em>Videodrome<\/em>\u2019s format of choice). After the tape swells unexpectedly in his hand, Max drops it to the floor. Finally, he regains his composure and plays the tape. On-screen, he sees media philosopher Marshall McLuhan\u2014sorry: Brian O\u2019Blivion (Jack Creley). <\/p>\n<p>As O\u2019Blivion warns Max that Videodrome is responsible for his death, a masked figure appears and strangles him. The figure removes their mask to reveal the visage of Max\u2019s lover, Nicki Brand (<strong>Debbie Harry<\/strong>). The television begins to throb with leathery veins and unprecedented musculature. Brand\u2019s televised lips pucker as the screen swells, her suggestive voice luring Max closer. Finally, Max caresses the screen and pushes his face into her swollen mouth.<\/p>\n<p>It is a compellingly disturbing scene in a film full of compellingly disturbing scenes. It is erotic in a way that somehow defies and rhymes with what conventionally registers as erotic. And, moreover, it is a remarkable and alarming special effect. Like Max, you might gape at the TV to verify that yes, that screen is in fact getting bigger. Glass metamorphosed into something stretchy and organic, that continues to convey a moving-image, unimpeded. So, while Max seems to have no difficulty, it\u2019s a hard effect to wrap your head around. So let\u2019s get into it: <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-how-d-they-do-that\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Howd_they_do_that\"><\/span>How\u2019d they do that?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"h-long-story-short\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Long_story_short\"><\/span>Long story short:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A film camera shot footage of a TV screen playing a video of Debbie Harry.

This consisted of <strong>Rick Baker<\/strong> and his small army of EFX inc. artists who had an average age of twenty-three. Ultimately, the effect became a collaboration between all three special effects units \u2014 makeup, physical, and video.<\/p>\n<p>As Baker tells it, after the success of <em>An American Werewolf In London<\/em>, the assumption was that special effects makeup artists could do anything the script called for. \u201cI got the script for <em>Videodrome<\/em>, and it had all this crazy-ass stuff in it,\u201d recalls Baker in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.denofgeek.com\/movies\/rick-baker-interview-men-in-black-3-werewolves-and-videodrome\/\">a 2012 interview with Den of Geek<\/a>. \u201cI was like, \u2018How the hell am I going to do this?\u2019\u201d In the Criterion bonus audio interview <em>Effects Men<\/em>, Baker describes <em>Videodrome<\/em> as \u201cone of the strangest assignments [he\u2019s] ever had.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The television itself is a TeleRANGER model. Baker and Cronenberg chose it because its size was large enough to accommodate the workings for a mechanical effect. The team built a number of models over the course of production for different effects and for testing.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-3-1.gif\" alt=\"Videodrome Television Effect\" class=\"wp-image-358447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-3-1.gif 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-3-1-768x416.gif 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>Baker experimented with various approaches for the screen effect. \u201cI knew we would need a flexible material,\u201d he <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.criterion.com\/current\/posts\/676-medium-cruel-reflections-on-videodrome\">recalls to Criterion<\/a>. \u201cAnd we tested with a weather balloon first, stretching it over a frame the size of a TV screen, and pushed a hand through it to see how far it stretched.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>According to the head of special video effects, <strong>Michael Lennick<\/strong>, the television prop required a lot of testing. \u201cWe were originally going to do it as a bluescreen effect,\u201d he explains. \u201cWe were looking up various types of material\u2026blue gelatin was one substance that we were working with, in which the actor could literally dunk his head into this stuff.\u201d Unfortunately, before they could waterboard James Woods with Jell-O, they came up with a more elegant solution.<\/p>\n<p>The suggestively heaving screen was ultimately created with a projector and a sheet of dental dam coated with highly reflective white paint. If a television screen made out of a common barrier for oral sex feels too Cronenbergian to be true, that\u2019s because it is. As Baker reminds us, dental dam rubber was one of the first materials used for rear-projection screens: \u201cIt\u2019s what they used in <em>King Kong<\/em>\u2026It was a nice sensual thing that [Woods] could caress, and it would respond.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The effect had \u201ca tactility you don\u2019t get with computer imagery,\u201d Cronenberg muses on the commentary. It \u201callowed you to [\u2026pause\u2026] handle things on the set.\u201d Or, as Woods evocatively puts it on <em>his<\/em> commentary track: the screen was \u201cliterally like a big breast.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-1.gif\" alt=\"Videodrome Television Effect\" class=\"wp-image-358443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-1.gif 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-1-768x416.gif 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><figcaption>You don\u2019t say.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Pre-filmed video footage of Harry was rear-projected through an airtight plexiglass chamber onto the sheet of rubber, which in turn could be inflated with a bellows. Speaking of which: the effect called for certain parts of the television to expand and contract. Baker\u2019s team had always used simple cable and pressure controls to puppeteer live performances. Airflow was often regulated by blowing air through an assortment of tubes. But the TV proved too large and complex for this approach. <\/p>\n<p>Physical effects supervisor <strong>Frank Carere<\/strong> devised a solution. To grossly oversimplify, Carere outfitted a keyboard organ with a valved air compressor. The result was a device that could inflate air bladders in sequence when the operator pressed certain keys.<\/p>\n<p>Cronenberg shot <em>Videodrome<\/em> in Toronto in the late fall of 1981. And because Canadian government-funded films were beholden to non-negotiable cut-off dates, production had to wrap by the end of the calendar year. As a consequence, Cronenberg and his crew had to start shooting without a finished script. To be clear: Cronenberg did <em>have<\/em> a complete script when filming began. But it was, in a manner of speaking, a prototype. Albeit a wilder, more audacious, and by all accounts more shocking prototype. <\/p>\n<p>Several effects set pieces were cut, including one involving our good pal the TeleRANGER. The sequence would have seen a return to one of Cronenberg\u2019s preferred locations: the bathtub. The hallucination required the SFX team to waterproof the television, which, according to the script,  was to rise improbably out of the depths of the tub.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-point.gif\" alt=\"Videodrome Television Effect Point\" class=\"wp-image-358449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-point.gif 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-point-768x416.gif 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<p>The TeleRANGER does appear in a later effect in the film in a sequence where a hand, clutching a gun, juts out from behind the screen. The transitional effect, shifting between a real video image and a flesh-TV appliance, is relatively straightforward. Baker and his team built a variant of the breathing screen. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Lennick and his assistant, <strong>Lee Wilson<\/strong>, figured out a front projection process that featured a series of graduated filters that allowed the operators to fade-in and -out an image of video static without expensive post-production optical matting. Then it was just a matter of pushing the finger puppet forward in synch with the projected visuals. <\/p>\n<p>Indeed, in addition to looking better than an optical effect, the benefit of pulling off the TV-screen effects in-camera was that the effect was done once shooting wrapped. After all: the hope of the effects team was that they\u2019d get to go home by Christmas \u2014 which some of them did, <em>barely<\/em>.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator is-style-wide\"\/>\n<h2 id=\"h-what-s-the-precedent\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_the_precedent\"><\/span>What\u2019s the precedent?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By Rick Baker\u2019s estimation, most of the effects in <em>Videodrome<\/em> had no precedent. And around these parts, we\u2019re liable to believe Rick Baker when it comes to the history of makeup effects. We\u2019ve already covered the ins and outs of rear-projection on this column. So in an absence of preexisting piano-controlled dental dam televisions, let\u2019s have a quick chat about Cronenberg\u2019s philosophy around special effects.<\/p>\n<p>When folks think of Cronenberg, they think about his infamous irreverence for the human body. From the vampiric appendage that grows out of Marilyn Chambers\u2019 armpit in <em><strong>Rabid<\/strong><\/em>, to the exploding head in <em>Scanners<\/em>, to Samantha Eggar\u2019s mutated external womb in <em><strong>The Brood<\/strong><\/em>: Cronenberg\u2019s filmography offers no shortage of icky, memorable moments.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, while Cronenberg\u2019s career-long interest with untrustworthy flesh is legendary, his films are never <em>about<\/em> the effects themselves. Not really. Despite how vividly Cronenberg\u2019s creations stick in one\u2019s mind, their impact is as much narrative as it is material. <\/p>\n<p>Which is to say: while their appearance is certainly evocative and compelling, Cronenberg frames his effect in a context that\u2019s meant to make us both uncomfortable and empathetic. You don\u2019t \u201cenjoy\u201d effects in a Cronenberg film as an objective third party. In fact, more often than not, we experience effects in a Cronenberg film from the same pained perspective as the characters.<\/p>\n<p>In her book <em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/edinburghuniversitypress.com\/book-deleuze-and-horror-film.html\">Deleuze and Horror Film<\/a><\/em>, Anna Powell asks, \u201cIs there really a clear distinction between the \u2018props\u2019 and the actors that inter(act) with them in <em>Videodrome<\/em>? When the television screen softens and bulges\u2026can we really refer to it solely as a prop?\u201d It\u2019s a fair question. This prop is indeed a monstrous one. And it is monstrous precisely because it feels human in its unfolding mutations: from a seductive female form to a tortured body, to finally, a bloated mass of bleeding organs. <\/p>\n<p>The television effects in <em>Videodrome<\/em> are an enticing confluence of hard and soft, aluminum and flesh, consciousness and hallucination: a cancerous mass of contradictions, alive, breathing, and quite the sight to behold. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-finale.gif\" alt=\"Videodrome Television Effect Finale\" class=\"wp-image-358448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-finale.gif 800w, https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/Videodrome-television-effect-finale-768x416.gif 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more Like this articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/social-media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Social Media category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/filmschoolrejects.com\/videodrome-television-effect\/#utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=videodrome-television-effect\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#How They Did the &#8220;Breathing Television&#8221; Effect in &#8216;Videodrome&#8217;&#8221; Welcome to How\u2019d They Do That? \u2014 a bi-monthly column that unpacks moments of movie magic and celebrates the technical wizards who pulled them off.
