  1. yeah, the neon behind it wasn't covered on the sides so you could see it.

    like so, with the car on the left side, N standing for neon, C standing for coil.

    |||N||C|

    So even though you were looking at the back, you could still see the neon glowing behind the coils.


  2. Ugh you don't get what I meant. They placed the neon tubes behind the mesh tubes to get them both to glow. Then later on when they broke, had them only in the middle. I'm just trying to explain why the car glows bad in one shot and others it's perfectly even. ILM couldn't do motion blurring back in 1985, so that lighting run shot is the real neon tube glows.

    but the tubes weren't transparent. Have you even seen the real cars? The tubes never did glow. The mesh never did glow. All the neon was behind the mesh which had holes in them so the neon could show through.


  3. Look again. I see two neons on the front coil and a neon behind the side coils. Look for the black holders and you'll see the neon is a lot farther in then one would expect.

    Plus on the side one, you can clearly see the neon disappear behind the coil when it curves backwards after going down.


  4. Actually, if you looked at the bttf1 stills, it comes otu the same place as bttf3's. We just never saw it at a good enough angle.

    Besides, I think that was real fire and not movie magic, so obviously they couldn't have put the fire emmiters on the tire :P

    Oh yeah, remember, this isn't the actual coils yet. The actual ones back at my apartment have only the mesh lighting up, not the tubes.


  5. No point. Its for fun. And its to keep people looking in the forums.

    or would you rather me be like those other modders who post their progress pics every week rather then every hour? Pick your poison :P

    Plus, sometimes I have lol videos like that time Doc RC'd the delorean over marty.
