The “blacksmith” profession, which has made outstanding contributions to human history, seems to have completely disappeared into the vision of modern people.

What? Have you asked me if I have seen a blacksmith? I haven’t seen it in real life, but I saw a man who got up on the CCTV5 at 4 o’clock in the morning to get up and play iron at the same time, and to support the Los Angeles steel mill:

I have seen it in the game. Isn’t it a tool that allows us to put all the garbage into him?

In “Witcher 3”, the blacksmith is even a good tool for brushing money

NoIn a quiet little valley in Baltimore in the northeastern United States, the sound of hammering is echoing every day. There is a blacksmith shop here, if you don’t notice the modern machinery, the time here seems to be fixed in the Middle Ages.

This is a group of blacksmiths like the blacksmith NPC in the magic game, but if you tell them that they have 7.49 million subscribers on the tubing, is it a bunch of real net red? Every weapon that comes out of this blacksmith shop is not the gamer of all the world, or the weapon of the gods that movie fans dream of.

Sorrow of Frost:

Kiyue’s Leviathan’s Axe:

Jerlot’s steel and silver swords:

The Avengers: The Unlimited War, the Battle Axe in the hands of Raytheon:

All these weapons, which are only found in games and movies, have been brought into reality from their virtual reality in their program “Weapons: Recasting”, and their works have become various game media. Great source of material.

At home, because of the name of their show, this team is also known as the “Weapons of the World”, but in fact they are all members of the Baltimore Sword Company. “Red Weapons” is not a member of the red bar at first, but belongs to a movie props teacher Tony Swatton.

Swarton and his Frostmoure

Swarton, who started cutting gems from the age of seven, has designed props for Back to the Future, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Last Samurai. Until he was selected by the director of the Weapons of the World, he became the star of the show.

Get out of WeaponsThe first weapon is the sword of James Lannister in Game of Thrones. In order to prove that he not only created embroidered pillows, Swarton actually tested the practicality of this sword, which became the tradition of each episode of “Weapons in the World”.

In other words, every weapon they build is a real-made control tool.

Unlike the members of the Baltimore sword that took over the show, the experienced film props have some taste of old-school blacksmiths. For the master of the sword, he is more willing to stay in his studio than to sit behind the computer: “The computer does not have a hammer to be reliable.”

He admits that he doesn’t usually watch a lot of movies, and he doesn’t have much interest in games.

In spite of this, he created game weapons such as the Sword of the Assassin’s Creed and the Chaos Blade of Kui Ye in the first season of the show. The video that creates the sleeve sword has more than 10 million plays.

And in Final Fantasy, Claude’s sword became the largest and most invasive weapon ever built by Weapons, and weighed about 75 to 80 pounds. (34 kg ~ 36 kg) . An adult man can only pick it up, not to mention waving.

So you can probably understand the level of the protagonist of a Japanese-style game with a tall iron block.

Swattton decided at the end of the first season of the show that he and his team needed to leave the show to take a break and try some other opportunities, which also allowed the Baltimore sword team led by the two brothers of Stargar to take over. The Weapons of the World, the program was officially renamed “Weapons in the Human: Recasting.”

The new team opened their brains at the beginning of the second season of the show. The first episode was for Batman with the claws of the Golden Wolf, and the second episode combines the weapons of the four Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This is the meaning of “recasting” in the name of the show: It’s no longer limited to restoring the props in games and movies, but using mashups and innovations to make a whole new weapon.
