I really want to build one just for Zoom room meetings, video messenger, etc. So many cool ways to take this!
haha, everyone would be too distracted by the cockpit for the meeting to be productive!😂
Oh man this is without a doubt your best work yet. It really hits home with me and takes me back to when I was 7 when I had a big box that I installed lights, switches and dials to like a spaceship cockpit! This is very much a grown up version of this, feeling very inspired now! I love the shots through the washing machine door, they're absolutely epic!
Your enthusiasm is always infectious. I need to start watching your vids at the beginning of the day so I get inspired and actually get filming or storyboarding myself and the filming. Late at night I just get way to enthusiastic myself and want to do stuff when I should be sleeping! Keep it up. Love your team.
Amazing. Those panels are so good too. Loved the sodacan dials. I wasn't expecting the frontal shots to work as well as they did either. You literally can't tell the cockpit is only about a meter and a half deep
Oh boy, now I can make my own version of Dark Star!
Boiler, "What's Talby's first name?" Doolittle, "What's my first name?"
What are you going to use to make the "alien" creature prop? Might have to use CGI :).
@@vibrolax It is such a cleverly made film, isn't it. The scene in the "lift shaft" really gets my vertigo going.
I own two copies of the DVD. One of my all-time favorites
@@vibrolax One for each eyeball! Nice! :-)
_Innerspace_ is one of the best and most underrated comedies ever made...
so glad he went there, use the word pod and its just where my mind goes!
Fact.
100% agree. Was a GREAT movie.
I was delighted to hear that line :)
Love it, the haze and lighting make so much difference
Amazing stuff ! luv the woodwork too !!
Amazing video again, can’t wait for the rest of the series!
Having worked numerous film sets over the years, you would be surprised at just how cobbled together many sets are even on major features. If you pay attention you can see that most sets are made up of everyday items painted and combined so that the majority of the audience would never recognize them. Not that the average audience member pays close enough attention to there surroundings to even recognize these items in there natural form which is exactly why this works.
Totally!
Lovely to see some Mayall 'n' Edmonson appreciation in there, as well as creative hoarding of things being reused. Vindication for holding on to things for the win.
Awesome!! Just exactly what i needed for my planned sci fi short! Thanks!
Another banger of a video. Love seeing it all come together. And timelapse is the only way to paint....Brilliant work as always, Team.
you are knocking it out of the park
Brilliant work as always! Thanks for helping keep practical effects and sets alive. It truly is a dying art form despite being more convincing in almost every conceivable way.
Incredible 👏 👏 👏
Great work, and info. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent post, thank you for sharing.
Loving this series guys, the interior looked fantastic when it was all lit up!
It was so cool to see on camera after all the work put into it!
Love the finished set, Great job!!
Nothing beats good practical effects.
You chaps do such great work! Love it!.
This is great! Very inspired.
so cool indeed ... always love the idea and seeing minatures mixed with live action ... something very physical and warm about models ...
Great stuff, as always!
Incredible effort guys! Been waiting all week for this
I feel very proud to have wandered into your studio mid-build and had you talk me through the set-up in it's infancy, Amazing work as always
Thanks Tom!
Fantastic cockpit ! Real movie magic .
I love it, loads of greebles and baubles~!
Outstanding!
Just more great content from this excellent channel.
Great work and this is really cool. I look forward to the next part.
Incredible build!
When you brought out that Nimrod panel I got flashbacks of my years on 206 Squadron. If I’m not mistaken it’s a panel from the air engineer’s seat behind the pilots, but I could be wrong; it’s been a long time. Great video; I love your enthusiasm for this stuff!
Salute ! We also build a Millennium Falcon cockpit in the Philippines using scraps ( old sound mixer, old joystick, old keyboard, etc.
This is beyond incredible! I want you to use this now and produce an entire mystery/alien underwater series produced by you guys. Your work is so inspiring!
Thank you!
I'm absolutely going to do this, this year. Have a perfect workspace for it and a place to put it when it's finished.
Brilliant!. I think I'm going to have to build one of these myself!
This is so creative, and the shots through the door looks great. Love it!
Thank you so much!
❤🤗😉💯👍
That is an awesome build! I love the use of old, non-traditional stuff to fill in for Sci-Fi props. Plenty of mainstream films out there that have done it. The end results speak for themselves... impressive!
Thank you!
Amazing video as always. Very clever to see behind the scenes
This is freaking awesome!, I will make one sooner or later. Great work mate.
Brilliant! Thanks for all the hard work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Simply AWESOME!!! 👍
Thank you, Bryan!
Amazing what a kid and a grown up man sharing the same soul can do ... Everything, obviously ! Thanks for sharing bits and pieces of your dreams !
No worries! Hope you liked the video!
Great video, thank you. Those murky wides work a treat.
Thank you so much for this. Im literally in pre production on a similar type of set build to go with minatures. 👍👌
I love this channel, gives mythbusters vibes Tommy is like Adam, kinda goofy and wild and JP is like Jamie very pragmatic. Great stuff as always.
love the sound from a thrown switch
Jack... it worked. You just digested the bad guy.
Amazing job! You guys rock!!!
Cheers Jim! (P)
That was awesome!
Thank You for this, your's is a version of something i would like to build. Cheers.
A dishwasher door! I never would have guessed. This was another awesome watch. Thank you for the amazing content.
cant wait to see the film that emerges from this project
this is easily one of my favorite channels. never miss an upload. can’t wait to see what else you guys do
Thank you! The support is very genuinely appreciated. (P)
Dang! I wish we were neighbors! My garage is full of packing material, hoses, electronics, lights, poles, clamps, masonite, paint, fog machine, green screens..and my wife's car! I turned a plastic shed into the helm or bridge of a spaceship. Script is about ready. 3 actors and a robot voice over. Lots of royalty free music and sound effects. Now winter is approaching! Maybe in Spring. Great job!! Lots of movies and tv shows out here in New Mexico.
Great work team :)
This is really cool. It makes me want to completely convert a bedroom or office into a spaceship cockpit/hab.
Great stuff!
OMG the Innerspace reference at the end made me grin and giggle - SUCH an underrated film!
I know right! I love the effects in inner space
RESPECT!
Awesome build!
There are so many fun details in this set. The washing-machine porthole works so well; especially from the exterior view. Wow! The big sub is paper-craft?! 😲🤩
Thanks Euan, glad you enjoyed the video!
This project was so awesome to watch... I could see this being made into a good budget movie or better... Great Job Guys!!!❤🤗👍💯🙌💋
Thanks so much Annette!
@@InCameraTV You're very Welcome..Thanks for replying 🙂
Great video. This is how those clever, inventive designers used to do the old Dr. Who. I love it!
Thanks, Douglas!
Love it! The washing machine door was genius!! For a while I had been wanting to experiment with something similar to this myself for a sci-fi space shuttle type short, and this has made me want to revisit the idea! Can’t wait for the next episode!!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the episode!
amazing job
All of this was awesome. But the best part? The INNERSPACE reference at the end.
Haha yessss!
thank you you just gave me the idea i needed for the series , only thing is using game footage with it.
Really well done!
I can't wait for the rest!
Thats sick! The end result is absolutely great
Thank you!
Outstanding mates!
Thank you!
So good! Also love the Innerspace reference! hahaha!
This is so great. Thank you humans.
Amazing work Tommy this was incredible thank you 🙏
No worries, thank you so much!
Tommy love what your doing man I hope you do with this set a fantastic voyage
So cool! Love to see behind the scenes going on. For years I’ve been thinking of making a starship set for 12 inch action figures, but never knew how to begin. You seem to have re-awakened that idea. Thumbs up, guys!
That's great to hear, that sounds so cool!
loving this channel I stumbled upon you are so giving me cool ideas, cherry on the cake it's UK & West country, thanks xx
Thank you Holly! Very pleased to have you on board! (P)
I would love to see one of these cockpit mock-up's look like a battlemech cockpits for that fully immersive experience.
great video! love it
As always, another great video. I did want to give something back in the way of a tip. When cutting with a jigsaw, if you hold it upside down and cut from the underside of the wood, it is easier to see the line and most of the debris then gets pulled away from you, rather than into the air. The first time you do it, it will seem awkward, but stick with it.
Very, very, cool. I will never outgrow sci-fi stuff! Good job, dudes!👌
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Wonderful hi-fi lo-fi goodness
Big congrats for the result, but, hey, let me tell you: this video, about you constructing the cockpit, reminded me the movie "Explorers" in a very good and happy way. I think I need to rewatch it... one day or another...
When I was 12, I was stripping junked cars for my dad on weekends. I pocketed switches and lights and wires to make my own BSG Viper cockpit using just the switches lights and a car battery. Using card board, duck take and spray paint, I made my first cockpit. Last project I did was about 10 years ago, converting and old Alphajet simulator (made by CAS) using modern off the shelf USB instrumentation, MS Flight simulator, FSUIPC (.DLL) into a modern simulator with 3 plasma screens (used to be just VFR trainer). Fun stuff! Much easier to make some very functional flight Sims nowadays using off the shelf products.
So much fun--who doesn't want their own cockpit indeed!
I believe that lamp housing is the same type Martin Bower and Bill Pearson used on their miniature for the 'Io' Mining Colony in Outland (1981) They used 3 or 4 for some tops of towers ! Fabulous video guys as usual !
Good eye sir! Yesterday's stuff is tomorrow's cooling tower. (P)
Outstandingly good. I'm certain you'd know the sequence from Kubrick's 2001 A Space Odyssey, where astronaut Dave Bowman has been stranded in the EVA pod and is prepping the explosive bolts for his daring re-entry to the mother ship. Your cockpit gave me a similar vibe. To know that you did it all with stuff you can either find or buy cheaply, and aided immeasurably by your good mates' generosity makes it all the more remarkable. Sensational work.
Wow wow wow…….wow 😎🤘
Aha! That's what I'm waiting for! One thousand thanks guys! ^_^
Great work. Very cool.
Thank you! Cheers!
I swear there is no difference between movie props and all the toys I wanted as a kid. LOL I love it.
I've only just discovered your channel, and I absolutely love it 😀 Great presenters, really well explained. Please keep going. Keep drawing 🤪
What a nice cockpit
The potential for creating a sci-fi spaceship cockpit was always my go-to reason for collecting and hoarding every unique bit of packaging and other junk I'd pick up on my walk home from school as a kid. ...As an adult in therapy I'm recognizing this was, in part, some pathological rationalization for my OCD. But Ooo it was tough picking which junk from my collection to throw away and which to spare after my parents couldn't store it in their garage and backyard any longer. On the other side of that grieving process now. There's always new treasures to be salvaged.
Love your style!
Thank you!
Great episode guys! Greetings from Brazil!
Obrigado!
Amazing
I just revisited this video because I'm currently recreating the interior of a spaceship for a short film I'm making, very inspiring 🙂
