Hey Jim, thanks for the great videos! I found a passion for this kind of thing a few years ago and it's become a bit of an obsession. My income is low, and my home is a single wide mobile-home, but I own it! I'm planning to build the entire interior out as a space ship. After MUCH internal debate I've decided to mostly use a design heavily inspired by the MCRN (The Expanse) aesthetic, because in addition to it looking like a space ship I want it to actually look NICE in it's own right. Greeble will be in the nooks and crannies rather than the main attraction. The thing I've most been struggling with is the flooring, and the ceiling. I had pretty much decided (despite wanting something better) to use the black vinyl diamond plate looking garage floor mats. I've used these for under my motion simulator and they look great. Still, I really wanted grates! I love your solution here, I even own two of those exact shelving units! I will have to see whether or not it's practical to incorporate them or something similar, given the fact that this will be an actual full time living "space" (hahaha. Sorry) instead of just a set which means wear and tear, the need for vacuuming, and it needing to both be safe for and not stress out my 14 pound dog! If anyone is wondering how I can get away with this, I got divorced two years ago now and discovered how much I enjoyed being single after 24 years of being not-single. I decided "It's going to stay that way!", and after two years have had no second thoughts. =) I've been having a blast working on my projects, and only having to compromise with the pooch and the credit card companies. ;P

[@ChannelAwesome]

Let us know what you want Jim to build for a future episode of Awesome Build.

[@memenalnurse_2462]

Sure Nostalgia Critic

[@pizzaman4663]

yeah you should

[@MusicSupremacy1]

Channel Awesome Jo jim, where did u get this awesome Star Wars T-Shirt?

[@afonsolucas2219]

Channel Awesome I'd like to see a bit of Miniatures if possible. Like buildings and explosions. If not that, I'll gladly watch wathever you have planned. Thank You.

[@ferdinantkoteberg680]

i would really like to see Jim try some blade runner style miniatures. Kind of like this goo.gl/4WbruY

[@Rynax-]

I absolutely freaking love this! It turned out amazing! All the details just blew me away. I love your work, Jim!

[@CRocketSlim]

Looks better than some of the sets I recall seeing on the old 1990s Outer Limits

[@veronicaivy3671]

The way you talk about 'interesting shapes' make me think that you're like the Bob Ross of set builds :)

[@nab-rk4ob]

It can't be as easy as you make it seem. You have a gift!

[@pesho5370]

Genuinely inspiring stuff. Thanks for sharing, Jim.

[@RSEFX]

I've also used some wide strips of mirror plex (hidden from camera) to reflect overhead light back "up" onto the set and characters as fill light..and also to create a creepier feel for certain shots. (Bottom-lit stuff is often very effective---as I'm sure you know---for scary scenes, as it tend to make people ---and/or creatures---take on a more sinister quality).

[@MrEricAdam]

Jim is the Bootsy of Channel Awesome.

[@roysloothaak]

MrEricAdam damn, you're right! they could be Brothers!

[@EnigmaGameMaster]

Finally! Someone else notices, they look really similar!

[@chaserthedragon9516]

they look similar, they are good at acting, they can really help out with production, and they have the same voice!

[@phil7556]

Im inspired by the removable sections that are all self contained! Genius! So innovative. Never occured to me to do that. Great job.

[@woobertdoo]

This must be a magic corridor, because it allows you to change outfits and facial hair on a whim.

[@Wolf-E_VA]

Dudel oh shit! I didn't notice that.

[@RSEFX]

Thanks for putting out a lot of ideas re: variations of angles/clever coverage within limited means.

[@nicolashiguera660]

I just discovered this series and all the videos are awesome, really great and helpful for my filmaking studies and upcoming shorts

[@sexycavetroll2788]

super awesome. love artists like this. inspires me to create in my own form of art

[@XswooterX]

This is fantastic. Awesome as always. This show is really becoming my favorite.

[@floydlooney6837]

Truly awesome

[@maxxsteele9396]

Another thing you can use to extend your corridor is use a mirror. It's good for an establishing shot.

[@seigeengine]

I would also advise people to really think about how things would be designed. It may look cool for there to be a bunch of crap on the walls, but that would be extremely atypical for any kind of corridor. Corridors are for people to travel through. There's a reason we don't just stick breaker boxes and so on in the middle of our hallways. The same general logic applies to spaceships too, and when things deviate from the patterns we recognize, we, on some level at least, notice. And while the rule of cool largely applies, at some point, a lack of sensibility does hurt your work. You don't have to be realistic, but people still don't want nonsense.

[@semaduni2278]

It does seem like the current wall dressing is made for something like an intentional b-movie or a self ironic piece (or an NC review, hint hint...). But that's why the modularity is useful. For a serious science fiction theme you could use just the panelling from the lower panes or something like it (maybe add a green screened fake lcd)

[@kg4lod]

This! +1. That said, spaceships, like airliners, are space-limited and pressure vessels. Rooms have to be tube shaped to contain air pressure, so room/corridor distinction isn't always there. Corridors in real vehicles are always multipurpose, since an empty corridor makes the vehicle bigger than otherwise needed (easier to target, harder to maneauver).

[@ShintouGenesis]

I was legit waiting for this video. I swear, this is one of my favorite things I've seen on Channel Awesome, and that's saying a lot.

[@starfans4300]

It likes a klingon or Borg corridor. :) Life long and prosper.

[@whitherwhence]

I would like to quote Marshall Eriksen and say "How much does this Korean Elvis rock? Infinity. He rocks... infinity.". You, sir, are like Korean Elvis.

[@PhilStrahl]

My two cents concerning art direction: In its current state, it looks a bit noisy and messy but if you're just looking for a Generic SciFi Corridor® that's totally fine. If you limit yourself to certain shapes (e.g. just big angular styrofoam pieces) or limit your palette to, say, only painted Gatorade bottles and egg cartons, it may look more coherent and distract less from the actors in the foreground. Save the circuit boards and blinking lights for your "data center" or "engine room" sets. ;)

[@ItWILLbeWONDERFUL_THERE]

Very Cool!

[@mister0zorg]

Wow!

[@Openreality]

Awesome Alien inspired corridor. I wish I was that talented.

[@danielhensel-leeson9423]

I love your work...!

[@bronzedemon3862]

Hey Jim! How about continuing the Sci-Fi theme and show us how to make realistic looking sci fi weapons out of nerf guns or something similar?

[@wonderdogger]

this is so helpful, thank you

[@Veellinn]

Brilliant! Kubrick would be proud :). But I would add more dangling tubing from the ceiling...for alien to hide in.

[@SimuVerseChannel]

Building my spacecraft now

[@TheItachiIshtar]

Bet one of the future Nostalgia Critic episodes this set piece is used for is a clipless review of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

[@chippledon1]

Cool!

[@atDeathMetalMods]

Did I miss something or when did Jim how to "open" the corridor? I thought it was a solid wood structure?

[@randeley]

Awesome things! I would really like to see some props whit an oriental theme like samurai helmet

[@GaryTurbo]

All I have to do is make the cockpit and I will have a setting for my space movie

[@afonsolucas2219]

Gary Turbo You need a corridor as well, but that's it. Unless you're doing a Space sitcom.

[@GaryTurbo]

I need to go on Yandy for the costumes

[@afonsolucas2219]

***** Yes! Or porn... Porn is always a great second option.

[@emersonriedler]

You should have been in charge of set design on Space Cop!

[@yavrielsechelle7431]

cool

[@ErichoTTA]

Good, I thought these videos had ended.

[@lauravidal2086]

I would really like to know your opinion about the theme: "Women in Refrigerators"

[@seigeengine]

I think that it's awfully inconsiderate to throw out my groceries just for a shock scene.

[@simon4casy]

What is he wearing on his right hand? That strap like thing?

[@martynmcmurray5410]

Can you continue with Dreamworksuary?

[@nerdandnerdier887]

What review was this from

[@JB-ml7xe]

he should build a house

[@rikmills]

Now build a dumpster to put this in.

[@kyleaegis5613]

3:27 No time at all, huh? With such a noticeable cut how can we believe you had no issues rehanging that? Technicality 2 cuts... why not just keep refilming until you got it on the wall without issue and say it get easier with practice?

[@vardor]
