Adam Savage's Overlook Hotel Maze Model

Over the span of a month, Adam designed and built an accurate replica of the hedge maze architectural model from Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. The maze model, as seen in The Overlook Hotel, is only seen briefly, but reference screenshots from throughout the film allowed Adam to painstakingly recreate it. The project ended up as one of Adam's more labor-intensive builds in recent memory!

Ahhhh sooo good. As someone who loves the Shining so much that at 14 I put a WALL size poster from the film of Jack coming through the door saying "Here's Johnny" behind my bed this makes me soooo happy. And 14 year old me is GIDDY! PERFECTION.

[@MrRagaje]

All work and no play... but does it include the "emergency help ringers"? At least once or twice while a walking through the maze Wendy and Danny pass what appears to be a rack, with a triangle bell and mallet which I would assume was to ring for help if you couldn't get out of the maze.

+Nocturnal Toothbrush I can appreciate the feeling of building something you are proud of and then giving it away. There's a nagging suspicion that no one else will really appreciate the small details, or dedication, and time spent on it.

[@Puppy_Puppington]

[@PianoXfan1]

As soon as I saw this I had my own idea. Taking a template like Adam made, but using it to create a large flat plant pot. Then filling the 'box' with dirt and putting the pathways in so it covers the soil. Then actually finding a type of plant that would grow, but look like a scaled version of a hedge maze. Not sure what I'd use. Maybe I'd use chia and cut it into a hedge type style? Not sure, but if you did it right with the correct materials and ensured mold wouldn't grow I think it would be outstanding. I think I might attempt this at some point.

Two things I especially like about this video both involve accessibility: 1) Maker accessibility. Doesn't require any tools more expensive or difficult to use than a table saw, and a maker without a table saw can find a workaround. 2) Viewer accessibility. It's easy to identify with Norm in this conversation as he asks questions the audience is already thinking.

[@mikeknight42]

His ability to put in that much work and not cut corners is really awesome. You can tell that he is building for the final product, and not just the video.

[@BlobVanDam]

Adam's builds are the best! It's hard not to share his enthusiasm for these great projects even though they're usually not something I'm into. It must be a good feeling to have this become the new travelling tour maze.

[@muskokamike127]

I love Adam and he's brilliant in so many ways but in reality, there are things he could have done that would have made this build go more quickly and easier: 1) Used a CNC router to do the perimeter walls and any walls with internal alcoves. 2) If he really wanted the walls to be permanent he could have used dowels and glue. Dowels and glue have held furniture together for centuries so in this instance, the walls would stay in place. The glue could be applied to the dowel itself so there will be no worry about bleed through. In fact, that are plastic dowels used in the furniture industry that have teeth on them that once pushed in, they "bite". If he wanted to be able to remove the walls for repair, he could have through drilled so he could push them up/out through the bottom. 3) Flocking: there are cheap cardboard flocking "guns" that shoot the flocking out the end to apply it to the surface. He could have built a cardboard spray booth with a turntable...line up the walls, spray with adhesive, shoot the flocking, set aside. I've done production runs like this when I've had to paint/finish small pieces in largish quantities. 4) 3" drywall screw: I see americans using d/w screws all the time for things like this...THIS IS WRONG...d/w screws are threaded all the way to the head and that makes it very very difficult to draw the piece tight. If you used a robertson wood screw, which has a threadless shoulder below the screw head, it would draw the piece tight and goes in MUCH easier. In fact, there are screws made specifically for MDF/LDF that have a high/lo thread tooth that bites like iron.... I know hindsight is 20/20 and all, and he's done things I could only dream about, but in this instance, talking with a cabinet maker or carpenter would have saved him hours and hours of labour/time.....

Some people say the maze in the model and the shots of Danny are supposed to be slightly different. Also the impossible hotel layout. Its supposed to make the viewer confused that this place does not make sense and makes the viewer question the hotel itself (at least that's what i got out of it). People have gone to extreme lengths mapping everything out and found problems, the maze included. Such a great movie, more Kubrick Adam!!!

[@Gerald5000]

Yeah, even things like the carpet pattern changes in the movie. All of it to make you feel uneasy and unsettled. Later in the filming, the maze maps poduced for on set filming were swapped out with new fake ones, so he even liked screwing with the crew about the confusing layouts.

You're correct. I highly recommend the documentary Room 237 about The Shining.

[@mrsj4350]

Adam's excitement and enthusiasm are absolutely infectious! And I share his love for organization and efficiency. Which makes me wonder since he was planning to screw the hedges down at the end and therefore would have had holes drilled into the bottom of each piece, would it have made the flocking process easier had he skewered the pieces to temporary sticks, applied the glue and then dipped the pieces in the flocking for more even coverage? Watching his videos gets all the creative corners of my mind thinking!

[@joshuaboyd7978]

The genius of Adam Savage is that he gives 100% to everything he touches...just like a true fan of a franchise would.

I used that Montana Black spray paint for an art project a while back, and I too loved the general experience I had with them, even coating, great colours and a matte finish (which for some reason was quite hard to find around my area, the reason I went with that particular brand).

George Can'tstandya Painting wire frames of a cityscape? You could have been an architect.

[@CtrlSaltDelete]

Kipah Ha ha, not the way mine looked :) I actually love architecture and was thinking about that as a career, but then I heard a story about a family friend who was an architect, but was so short on jobs due to an over saturation of the profession in his area (Germany at the time) that he went into the video game industry, eventually got headhunted, went to Australia and now works at 2k Australia after a string of now closed studios. That might sound like a good thing, but he says only get into games for the love of it (because the hours, pay and lack of job security aren't worth it) and never become an architect. On being an architect he describes it as the job he always wanted to do, until he realised it paid like a part-time job (he only got jobs here and there) and felt like the work of a full-time job. Suffice to say he had much more to say on both jobs, more or less revealing some pretty undesirable elements that I had not heard of before, on top of the ones I had. Of course he might just have been unlucky, but looking at the people taking the tertiary education required for Architectural work around Australia I suspect he probably isn't wrong on most points.

fuk u idiot

[@samuelrimml]

why are you on youtube hen you have to study

[@sandervdw1784]

This is proof that we as humans don't really care about the product, it's the sheer enthousiasm and passion of the man we desire to feel as well that makes this (and every other project he does) so fun to watch. I aspite to be as passionate, literate and ingenious as him some day.

[@TomJudson]

Just left The Design Museum in London where your maze is beautifully displayed. The lighting did not allow for a glimpse into the news stand so I didn’t get to see the Easter Eggs. Alas. I felt very special among the visitors for having seen the maze being built. Quite an accomplishment!

[@chrisofnottingham]

I don't get on with Horror so I've never watched the movie, but that model maze is a fantastic object just in its own right.

[@chrisofnottingham]

***** I don't like psychological scariness or realistic violence.

[@KutWrite]

I don't know about "no one." But... yes.

[@guyliversidge5321]

Make a remote controlled mini camera to move around the maze so we get a humans eye view :)

[@RoboTekno]

Why not use CAD to layout the maze? That's what I'd do. Although I guess drawing the maze outline by hand gives a more satisfying feeling when completed. Great work, guys :-)

[@KBABZ]

I think Adam may have been attempting to adhere to the spirit of the original model's construction in the movie universe (or the production build on the film), so using CAD would have been anachronistic. Plus, he's a hands-on tools kinda builder!

[@RoboTekno]

KBABZ Gotcha :P

[@seigeengine]

RoboTekno That's my guess. I know personally I can't sketch out ideas on a computer, despite having used them heavily since I was very young. It just doesn't feel the same. I lack the automatic freedom of my hands, and a piece of paper. Computers are good for some highly detailed technical work, but who knows how much fudging around Adam was still doing at the stage he was drawing it out. You can look at a computer drawing all you want, but until you have the actual thing in front of you, it's hard to judge things as well as you can.

[@RoboTekno]

seigeengine To each their own ;-)

[@leonpse]

RoboTekno People who are experienced doing things on paper (years of experience) can do things pretty quickly. The advantage of CAD is that you can modify things much more easily, but this is a replica of something, it's not something that needs to be constantly modified and improved. Also, it's not that complex. Adam can probably figure out the parts list in his head.

[@BoomerKeith1]

In the past couple of years, the Stanley hotel in Estes Park Colorado (where much of the interior of the movie was shot) started a maze in the front of the main building. The last time I saw it the shrubs were very small, so I have no idea how long it's going to be before it actually resembles a proper maze, but it's cool that they've decided to incorporate it.

[@weekendrailroader]

At first, it's seems like "just a model of a hedge maze"... But Adam's explanations of the work flow, construction process, and the reasoning and discipline behind them are what I find fascinating. That's where the real craftsmanship is. Not just "look what I built", but "here's how I built it, and why". As a model railroader, I'm really enjoying this series. I think I'll be incorporating some of his processes into my future projects. Looking forward to more episodes Adam. :)

[@doodguy]

Imagine if you could purchase a mini model of this to put on your wall or display.

[@EGarrett01]

I thought I knew how crazy Adam was, until I saw 18:07.

[@sana00221b]

EGarrett01 ,

[@wagonfixin]

So much work just to have a scale model, did they actually put it in the museum

[@jeremys.2451]

Stunning. In my weird working life I was able to do some work with an architectural model company, so I can soooo appreciate that level or work skill and patience. Great job!

[@jellypopcorn]

_20:17__ I really enjoy the way he beams over his finished work, its well deserved and Im glad he got to have it go on display too! Its also incredibly inspiring that even though he knew it would take a lot of time to do, he stuck with it and got it done and has a fantastic finished model. Highly recommend looking at the follow-up discussion_

[@stephengerard8801]

it should ultimately end up at the Overlook Hotel in Colorado!

[@jimmyoats12]

It's actually called the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park. Really really creepy, cool old building you can still stay in.

[@gmmeier321]

The Stanley is only the inspiration for the story, none of the filming was there. But they are building a small maze out front now. The TV miniseries was filmed there.

[@ChopperTours]

Lets try this in minecraft. Wish me luck. : )

[@TricksEU]

It took me 5 hours to build lol, and it looks 100% the same

No. Mods. Dude.

[@jambihd]

I just watched The Shining again today and I had to come watch this video too! Haha

[@matiasnahueldasilva5747]

The love and commitment this man has for his work is amazing.

[@magoo983]

Got to see this maze in London. It was a pleasant surprise while walking through the fantastic Kubrick exhibition to see this wonderful work by Mr Savage on display. I felt a weird connection to it being that I was lucky enough to see this video of Adam making it.

[@danielkeegan7238]

i love the fact that he is being precise but i think he has to much time to himself!!

[@roof2093]

what was the easter egg in the newsstand then?

[@thatllputmarzipaninyourpie3117]

+Roo F My guess is a Playgirl magazine. Jack is reading one at the beginning of the movie when he is waiting for Ullman in the lobby.

[@roof2093]

oh aye that'd make sense

[@Belecinth]

maybe since the movie THE SHINING is a stephen king movie, perhaps the easter egg would be other movies like CHRISTINE, or THE MIST etc

[@janX9]

Perhaps a copy of "Doctor Sleep" the sequel novel to the shinning.

[@KutWrite]

Maybe a DVD boxed set of Mythbusters?

[@EnchantedMinis-qt4pq]

This was so exciting to watch you make this AMAZING miniature maze from the movie! Your excitement is infectious! This was thrilling watching you work and succeed at such an incredible project! Thank you for sharing your talent and vision with us all!

[@deadheadlights]

Adam... You're a nutter!..... and a total inspiration. Thanks for showing us the level of detail we all should be working to.

[@nunyabiznez4408]

how does one earn enough money to eat while creating & making something like this?

[@willmw]

Be in a programme that makes millions.

[@_topikk_]

+William Maltby-Wehner He has actually been building props professionally for Hollywood since long before Mythbusters.

[@authentic6825]

+nunya biznez creating and making at the same time!? MADNESS.

[@Scruffdogg1973]

Joel Eriksson... I would have done the whole inside floor, in Jack's type written sheet.. Perfect ;-)

[@dteed6282]

This is one of his coolest builds.

[@hello2jello4mellow34]

I am very touched by Adam's generosity. Thank you, sir!
