My problem with the hoverboard fx in bttf 2

I love Back to the future, almost as much as star wars. One thing you'll notice if you've ever been watching my internet habits is my old visits to bttf.com. Wonderful website, doesn't get the credit it deserves for being a very detailed, just amazingly well designed site to feed your insatiable bttf appetite. I visited there many a time back in high school days, dork alert, but yeah, got so much info. And there was even a debate as to what the meaning was behind the double 9's left by the delorean in bttf 2. Can't remember what people said it meant, but apparently it was a kinda secret message or something, who knows.

Anyway I'm going to create my own hover board scene like I see many on youtube have done using green screen. I'm not going down that road although I could. I just don't like how unnatural it looks. Others have used like total CGI hoverboards, not my cup of tea either and I don't know shit about making a hoverboard in like 3dmax or maya, not yet. I will buckle down and learn 3d sculpting at some fucking point, but not yet...

I just have to impart my thoughts on the hoverboards that we do know intimately already having watched bttf 2 many times. If they made that scene today it'd be so much more realistic, hell you'd never know any fx were done at all, it'd just look like a real thing. We have the tech today to get it right, but back then they basically dangled the actors from wires and called it a day.

I mean not once is the hoverboarding convincing in bttf 2, not once and that's really strange considering how amazing all the other fx looked. The problem was that there was no tech back then to make a hoverboard look real, just wasn't and of course such a device doesn't exist. Today they'd shoot the scene with the actors on skateboards with like big wheels and then cgi out the wheels in post prettymuch. It'd look so much more real than the original.

I'm going to do things kinda old school, just like lucas and star wars and the land speeder. He had the land speeder simply drive on wheels then tried to remove the wheels later in the editing room.

My hover board will actually have weight to it and react to the environment. I mean the shitty thing about the hoverboard scene in bttf 2 is that the hoverboards didn't react to the ground. It was just wire work, shitty wire work. so it didn't look real. Blue screen doesn't work either... I mean shit, look at it on peoples hoverboard videos. It's so fake as balls.

Hoverboards have to react and bounce as if they're fighting gravity all the time, not just smoothly glide along the ground like in so many vids. Come on guys...
