Behind-the-Scenes of KARR's design at MasterKey

Post by Sue » Mon Jan 05, 2009 4:36 am

Well you all might not have expected me to show you this video so soon. But I just have to giggle thinking about Neps spitting out his morning coffee all over his computer. He He. :mrgreen:
Enjoy!
(And yeah, I know, I gotta get a new camera.. darn thing keeps losing focus.)

Nice work Sue, I bet you had a lot of fun. :D Heh, I thought you edited the video to blur it on purpose in spots. Yeah, I'd like to see the unedited version too after the episode airs. Looks like it's confirmed that KARR will be a Mustang, I was kind of hoping he wasn't going to be and he'd been technically less complex but it looks like he's going to be even more so. How the hell does he go from a car into a 18 foot tall beast like that? O_o

It'll be interesting a cool to see how it all comes together in just 16 days. NBC better really ramp it up and also get out there to bring up the point that Peter Cullen did Knight Rider and voiced the original KARR before being involved with Transformers.

I noticed you muted the audio when you and Elan were talking about the plane scene but I think those of us who know the original series still know what you two were talking about. ;) Of course we now know what's going on and why KITT is in that plane thanks to NBC's own spoilerific episode description for that episode.

Thanks Sue and thanks to Elan taking the time to show you around. :good:

Yeah! I want that KITT wallpaper too! I DEMAND IT! :P 1920x1080 please! Actually I'm happy with the wallpaper I found the other day and am using now but I think I'd change it.

I imagine he or someone else there made it. *shrugs* Hopefully they can put it up on NBC.com or on the MKF site. :D

Ski Mode!!

And great to hear that Turbo boost will return AND did I hear correctly that they're doing more "Real" driving scenes? with a driving rig?

That sounds promising.

I'll be very interested to hear how this new Karr came into being (story-wise). Obviously someone didn't learn the lesson from the first Karr.

I dare say this new Karr will be very kewl, but I have say I'm little disheartened with the Transformer theme which seems to be getting more prevalent. Even my 9 year old son is saying it's not right to have a transformer Karr in Knight Rider.

We're referring to the KITT wallpaper that one of the guys at MKF was using for his desktop. ;) Check the video at the 3:30 mark.

It's always struck me as odd how KI3T displays everything on his windshield, even if no one is actually in the car to see it.

2 reasons, 1 it is emebeded as part of AIOS (Artificial intellligence operating system) and 2 it gives the viewer just as the TOS cues to what KITT is up too, see simple enough, next... :mrgreen: :good: :mrgreen:
