Spaceship Command Console

[@tauma75]

The LED escape room thingy that lights up w the key is badass - it's always great to see mark geeking out & Matt pretending he doesn't know what's going on 🤘🏽

[@GratuitousSets]

Lol

[@matthewcharles7574]

Yup. Totally pretending...

[@Warbler36]

Mark, now I understand the photos you showed me the other day that you came by. The consoles are out of this world.

[@GratuitousSets]

Yay!! I'm afraid I can't award extra credit for your lame pun, however. Hehehe

[@twistedendingsproductions2782]

This video was indeed bad ass. And of course, you guys are not only rocking it, but are funny too. I truly enjoy watching your videos as impromptu as they seem to be. But I guess that's part of the draw.

[@GratuitousSets]

Definitely unscripted. This is actually what we are like- we've known each other for years. Also, I talk a LOT !!

[@KB-yy7zt]

I will admit that is really cool. Like the other commenter said I might have to steal the mirror behind the plexi idea. Very nice work guys.

[@GratuitousSets]

I wonder if a polarized film or 2 way mirror layer in-between would increase the effect...

[@KB-yy7zt]

You have your LEDs turning on all at once. Have you tried bringing the intensity of the LEDs up slowly or have each LED light up one at a time. As you mentioned in another video sometimes you can over work a project as this one already has a wow factor of 10.

[@GratuitousSets]

This is only the beginning... :-)

[@phoenixmagicien]

I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

[@GratuitousSets]

Aww, shucks. :-)

[@bradhester3829]

This is incredible stuff. Thank you so much for creating this.

[@GratuitousSets]

Thanks! Be sure to use the restroom BEFORE viewing the 2nd part of this build :-)

[@joshkendrick3764]

Y'all are crushing it!...or at least doing amazing stuff! Not sure about whether or not things were crushed in the making of this video. Regardless, keep up the awesome work!

[@GratuitousSets]

There's always crushing involved. Crushing, and saliva.

[@thefwaynes]

also when the ship gets hit they have rocks that come out of nowhere. I guess they are in the control panels for when that exact situation happens

[@GratuitousSets]

Lol- That's where they store the "Strategic Rubble Reserve"!

[@starfans4300]

Very cool projekt again.

[@GratuitousSets]

I speak German very slowly and haltingly...I understand pretty well, but speaking is much more difficult

[@starfans4300]

@@GratuitousSets It is ok, my english isn´t very good. But it is more important that we can talk together and understand us. :-) Ich verstehe Englisch auch besser als ich es sprechen kann. :-)

[@nextlevel8822]

5:53 I think every maker has that moment once in a while when something turns out better than even they expected it to be. Etched acrylic looks so cool in general, but I may be stealing the mirror idea for some signs...

[@GratuitousSets]

Send pics if you do! :-)

[@chrislattner4302]

Amazing work guys!!!

[@GratuitousSets]

I can't wait to show you the rest of this piece- I'm kinda freaking out about it

[@PeterboroughescaperoomsUk]

You guys do great work- Keep it up :)

[@GratuitousSets]

I got a bit excited, there... lol

Do an image search for " rogue one command center " it is also in the bridge displays in the Star Trek reboot. We could do even better with addressable LEDs. So many possibilities!!

[@druidealex]

great ideas guys but on an esthetic plan it need improvement... it looks like you don't care about having your own signature sometimes... like rethinking the futur of a consol might be an interesting exercise... and the futur of user experience is about ergonomy... this feel like a 80's way of seeing futur... and i think about an apple mouse when i say that vs the old pc mouse... don't know if it can lead you on a new road but...

[@GratuitousSets]

The 1980's sci-fi look is EXACTLY what we were doing! Everything you said is correct for different pieces, different styles. I'm sure we will do all or most of them in the future. Remember, this is not a conceptual or academic exercise...we are executing specific styles based on CLIENT demand.

[@druidealex]

great thanks for the answer i just like to criticize stuff when i see a better option, but i just listen to the full video to realize that it was the mission you had lol... amazing work by the way i bow down ...

[@JonathanRansom]

Is this still available to go at at Red Door? I'm only two hours away and I need to see this room in person!

[@GratuitousSets]

It is, but Red Door decided to try their hand at making it a "dirty" spaceship (re-paint), and they are not happy with the result. I agree :-/

[@GratuitousSets]

It's at the PLANO location, BTW

[@JonathanRansom]

@@GratuitousSets going to have to make some plans to get down there to try out their rooms and see your work in person!

[@GratuitousSets]

Let me know when you're going to do it so you can come visit us in the studio

[@JonathanRansom]

That would be amazing, thanks for the offer!

[@mitchellholmes2850]

I may have missed it in the video, but what was the cost to build this?

[@GratuitousSets]

It was part of an larger alien spaceship build, so we didn't price it individually. Another video, which came out shortly after this one, shows the different puzzle mechanisms we built into them, and we added transparent "holographic" viewscreens to each console.

[@mitchellholmes2850]

@@GratuitousSets Got it, thank you for the reply. I am trying to build a space ship set for a church camp this summer and I am trying to budget for two console's similar to this. Is there any way you could estimate what it cost you to do one of these? I know this was several years old, but anything close to the cost would help me when I ask for my budget. Thank you :)

[@GratuitousSets]

Do they include the viewscreen? With the viewscreen, materials cost is probably about $200 each in materials. You can call me for more info😜

[@mitchellholmes2850]

@@GratuitousSets Yes, I was hoping to get as close to this as possible since I love the way it looks! Thank you so much for your help! :)

[@GratuitousSets]

Absolutely! Call us if you need more info

[@io1380]

i want to make one for my room lol

[@GratuitousSets]

Sorry for the long reply delay! I love the possibilities with this! Have you seen Command Console II yet? Then we did the Hoth Tactical Display video- It's endless! :-)
