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!😂
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!
Salute ! We also build a Millennium Falcon cockpit in the Philippines using scraps ( old sound mixer, old joystick,
old keyboard, etc.
love the sound from a thrown switch
Funny coincidence, I once used a stock image of a guy staring into a washing machine window to represent someone looking out into space through a porthole. Worked fantastically well!
Wow wow wow…….wow 😎🤘
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!
Great episode guys! Greetings from Brazil!
Obrigado!
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! :-)
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.
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
you are knocking it out of the park
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!
Incredible 👏 👏 👏
I love it, loads of greebles and baubles~!
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!
_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 :)
All of this was awesome. But the best part? The INNERSPACE reference at the end.
Haha yessss!
Fantastic cockpit ! Real movie magic .
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)
Great video. This is how those clever, inventive designers used to do the old Dr. Who. I love it!
Thanks, Douglas!
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!
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.
I just revisited this video because I'm currently recreating the interior of a spaceship for a short film I'm making, very inspiring 🙂
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
This is so creative, and the shots through the door looks great. Love it!
Thank you so much!
❤🤗😉💯👍
Jack... it worked. You just digested the bad guy.
Love it, the haze and lighting make so much difference
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.
so cool indeed ... always love the idea and seeing minatures mixed with live action ... something very physical and warm about models ...
Aha! That's what I'm waiting for! One thousand thanks guys! ^_^
Just more great content from this excellent channel.
Awesome!! Just exactly what i needed for my planned sci fi short! Thanks!
cant wait to see the film that emerges from this project
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 is actually how most sets like this are built. 2x4s, plywood, greeblies, etc. Add some paint and yer done! TV shows may be built sturdier so it can last multiple seasons, but not necessarily. Just look at old behind-the-scenes images of the Millennium Falcon set; it looks very similar to the frame of what you built here.
Amazing stuff ! luv the woodwork too !!
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!
Great work, and info. Thanks for sharing!
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 🙂
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.
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!
Very, very, cool. I will never outgrow sci-fi stuff! Good job, dudes!👌
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
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...
Hhhhmmm...the old washing machine sitting on the balcony ready to go down the recycling centre is now saying 'turn me into a submersible !' Great stuff lads 👍🤘🍺🇬🇧
Haha go for it Martin🤣
@@InCameraTV I wish! My partner would soon 'sink' that idea...Christmas day and a large cardboard box is the best I can hope for...keep up the great work 👍
Another banger of a video. Love seeing it all come together. And timelapse is the only way to paint....Brilliant work as always, Team.
Tip for removable wall sections in the future is just to use dowels instead of bolts. Drill all the way through with a 6mm bit, then re-drill one side with 6,5mm. Then install dowels. Use c-clamps to hold everything together. It’s WAY faster to shoot when all you have to do is loosen 3-to-5 clamps rather than unbolting 10-to-15 bolts. After all, you can do as many dowels as you want for alignment but you need very little to hold it all together.
Amazing video again, can’t wait for the rest of the series!
I would love to see one of these cockpit mock-up's look like a battlemech cockpits for that fully immersive experience.
Incredible effort guys! Been waiting all week for this
This is great! Very inspired.
This is freaking awesome!, I will make one sooner or later. Great work mate.
Outstanding!
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.
Inner Space is a great movie.
It’s amazing, right!?
Thank you so much for this. Im literally in pre production on a similar type of set build to go with minatures.
👍👌
The Innerspace reference!!!!!!!!
Yes! Well spotted
@@InCameraTV I don't think many people have seen Innerspace these days. Whereas when I did my military service back in 1988-89, we even adopted the "Zero Defects" as a slogan for our weather radar craw, yelling "Weather Radar: ZERO DEFECTS!" when we lined up in the excercise yard... ah, those were the days.
@@zaptronic Love it!
@@InCameraTV ...and in the artillery, "weather radar" just means "release tiny baloon and measure wind at different heights using a small portable radar on a trailer behind your army truck" and doens't really have anything to do with *weather* in a traditional sense.
That doesn't change the fact that my troups "radar tech" eventually got a job in the Swedish weather service, and is now a well known weatherman in Swedish TV (Per-Erik Åberg) :)
Great video, thank you. Those murky wides work a treat.
I love how filming props and sets can be so unfinished as long as everything in the shot looks finished. The cockpit is essentially only half built, it has no exterior at all and some of the screens they installed don't even work yet it all looks so realistic that you'd think they used a real submersible to film in. Awesome!
As Tommy says, you only need to dress to the camera!
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.
Tommy: Let's build this cockpit using things for free, or as close to it. Therefore, we're going to use 2x4s and plywood.
Me, an American: So I guess we're spending $2,000 then...
It definitely feels like it these days.
Tbh 2x2 would be plenty, we just used what we had. But we hear you, we're very lucky to be in a position where we have materials left over from productions. Also hoarding ;)
@@InCameraTV Hoarding is key. Be it scale models or full fledged sets.
Get old pallets from worksites or warehouses
@@MelbourneShorts11 true
Brilliant! Thanks for all the hard work!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You chaps do such great work! Love it!.
Thank You for this, your's is a version of something i would like to build. Cheers.
RESPECT!
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 stuff, as always!
So jealous!
*Stockton Rush has entered the chat*
Wonderful hi-fi lo-fi goodness
Love the finished set, Great job!!
Great work team :)
Brilliant!. I think I'm going to have to build one of these myself!
Great work and this is really cool. I look forward to the next part.
Nothing beats good practical effects.
The frame itself is a good starting point to make a sim pit
That was awesome!
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.
Simply AWESOME!!! 👍
Thank you, Bryan!
amazing job
Great stuff!
great video! love it
thank you you just gave me the idea i needed for the series , only thing is using game footage with it.
Amazing video as always. Very clever to see behind the scenes
Cool! You Could re-purpose it as a Spaceship Cockpit by removing the top front plywood and changing some panels around.
Incredible build!
Ngl that reel to reeel editing monitor you shared would look sick as a steering device for the ship. The little screen in the metal could have some sort of landing interface on it that would assist the pilot in landing and the reel holders off to the side could be grips for the pilot.
Really well done!
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.
This is really cool. It makes me want to completely convert a bedroom or office into a spaceship cockpit/hab.
Amazing job! You guys rock!!!
Cheers Jim! (P)
Very effective!
Thanks, Richard!
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)
Awesome build!
Wow luv it👍💯
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!
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!
What a nice cockpit
ty for this inspirational video! it gave me some useful ideas how to implement some scenery objects to my upcoming flight sim cockpit im going to make :)
Oh that sounds amazing, glad you found the video helpful! Make sure to show us your cockpit when it's done!
