Linear Ranger's Power Rangers Operation Overdrive Site


We begin with James Macluran, Mack, in the Overdrive Hummer telling us what we're about to see.	After a killer Operation Overdrive intro, we start in the Prosthetics Department and meet Dan the Prosthetics Supervisor, who is working on Flurious' headdress.

Dan then explains how a completed Stunt Flurious Mask is made, as well as a Norg Mask.	Terry, the Gizo Supervisor, over in the corner plays some tricks as he made Norg's mask begin to move via remote control.

We go on to meet Kirsten the Prosthetics Trimmer. She is working on another Norg Mask, so that it can move on to the next step and be painted.	Next we move into the On Set-Monster Shop, where we meet David, the On-Set Creature Supervisor. He's working on a sword for Moltor's backpack.

David then takes James, and us, out to the shed where we see much more monster costumes that will appear later in the season.	Now onto the Off-Set Monster Shop, where we meet up with Zak, the Off-Set Creature Supervisor. He explains how Off-Set is where all the repairs are done to the costumes

For example we have this monster costume, Bombardo, just having the last repairs done to him.	Next on the tour is the Prop Shop. Here we meet Matthias, the Head Prop Supervisor.

Matthias shows us the crystal ends of Flurious' staff and explains how they're made.	Jeff, a Prop Maker, comes in to help explain about the Corona Aurora and the gems that go in it.

Matthias then takes us over to where the Ranger's weapons and Morphers are being made. He explains how the templates in them keep them from bending too much.	Then we get to see a Stunt Morpher that is squishy and won't break. Also, they have a template in them.

Matthias finally shows us the giant globe that will be used in the Ranger's Command Center, though it still needs some final assembly.	Our next stop is the Costume Prop Shop. Here we meet James a Costume Prop Maker. He's currently working on Norg's body suit. And kids, Costume Prop making is something you can study and learn in college.

We get to see some of the Chillers Helmets that have been made, but still need their finishing touches.	Then we meet Robin who is working on the fur portion of Norg's suit.

Then we go on to the Costume Shop and meet Maureen, Costume Supervisor. She explains how they go about making the civilian suits that the Rangers wear. And that they are designed by Gavan, though he's out shopping at the moment.	Then we go over to the Ranger Suits. Maureen explains how they get the samples from Japan, and then make their own suits out of thicker spandex material.

Our last part of the tour starts in the Set Shop. Here we meet Miro, the Production Designer.	Miro shows us around Flurious' Ice Cave. He tells us that it's just about finished and has taken five weeks to make.

Then we move onto the Moltor Lava Pit set. Miro explains how the throne is made of tin foil, in order to give it a molten rock look.	Finally we end at the Ranger's Command Center Set, which still needs to be finished up. Miro shows us around and explains what all is still set to go in place. And that completes the tour.

I have to say that I loved this special. It's great to see so many faces of people, that work VERY hard behind the scenes, to make Power Rangers what it is. Seeing how all the costumes, props and set are made is always a thrill for me as an adult fan. Plus, I loved how they gave us possibly the show into at the beginning. From all the footage of the show that was shown, and the way everything is starting to look, I think this is really going to be a great season.
