Thanks Lewis, that's high-tier praise!

TTY prop is really “phreaking” cool idea.

[@JoelCreates]

Whoah whoah, no need to phreak out

[@alanmccormick2851]

@@JoelCreates Those TTY keyboards often showed up at Dig&Save and were made by some company out by Westgate mall. The same company had a more portable version with an LCD display, a tiny keyboard and an acoustic coupler that folded flat.

[@JoelCreates]

@@alanmccormick2851 I had no idea they were local, very cool!

[@MattsAwesomeStuff]

That stupid typewriter/calculator screen actually working was ridiculous. Audio-controlled messaging? That could be a featured project in itself. Half this stuff could be. It's amazing how much work set-building is for scifi eh? Not a single item "just is", every... single... thing... has to be curated for the set because all of it is fiction. You know you've done a good job when it looks deceptively easy, like everything just belongs because of course that's what it should look like. But when you slow down and break it down, you see every little item isn't just something someone had to build, it's something that had to be thought up, discussed, debated, sourced, THEN built. It's the thousands of decisions that have to be made that represent the bulk of the work, not the actual construction. It's just a door. But what's it look like? What shape is it? What's it built out of? How does it move? How fast does it move? What color is it? Every answer springs up two more questions until time and budget run out and you hope you've done good enough. Also, shit like this and a lucky break can get you a career out of this if you want. A couple friends did a few things and then all of a sudden, ball's rolling and they're working on Star Trek, Xmen, etc 12 months later.

[@JoelCreates]

Thanks for the breakdown, it was quite an undertaking! It was helpful that the director gave me a ton of control and creative freedom to get things done my way, so that I could do most of that planning and decision making in my head, and then delegate what I needed done. I would definitely be open to doing more work in this field.

[@gingernightmare9152]

old cell phones... work well for controllers.

[@Weisz]

This set looks freaking RAD dude! Great work! Oh, and thanks for giving me yet another reason to hang onto random electronic garbage 😂

[@JoelCreates]

Hoard ALL the things!

[@JulianMakes]

Amazing effort, it looks awesome!

[@AntaraBreeze]

this is kinda like the first StarWars movie

[@JoelCreates]

What a compliment!

[@mmpiforall5913]

It looks like a ton of work as I always suspected!

[@fojcol]

You can't watch this just once and get all the detail! Just like a real sci-fi movie! Hope this leads to big things for you - and look forward to seeing the finished movie.

[@archivushka]

This chair idea is super awesome

[@DrLavitz]

The re-purposing and upcycling of everything is so great. I think all your videos, including the filter promo, have had found objects in them. Great stuff man.

[@JoelCreates]

Thanks DrLavitz, it helps that 90% of what I own I bought used!

[@kirstenhartlaub]

That part with Stefano at the end gets me every time X)

[@joshthomas6667]

Almost reminds me of the doors in the Pillar of Autumn.

[@JoelCreates]

*Gregorian chant intensifies*

[@joshthomas6667]

Lmao, great work dude. I don't think I'd know where to start on a project like that.

[@crazybird199]

Wow, that looks epic!

[@leeorani7310]

Absolutely brilliant

[@Lucifer.]

Wow! There was a whole lot of awesome in this video! Brilliant use of tech and façades blended seamlessly to create Hollywood level believability on a shoestring budget. This is far beyond impressive. And the door's opening/closing mechanism, and the remote TTY functions were strokes of genius! Bravo!

[@Lloyd-Black]

I think independent low budget films like this are true treasures. Great work.

[@heru-deshet359]

Very, very cool!

[@thattempleguy6712]

this looks like it's gonna be a better movie then the new(ish) predator movie

[@pedrobernardi4706]

Remembered me of the game Alien Isolation. All the set is just AMAZING Joel, I wish KZbin recommend you and the type of your content more, because people need to see this.

[@JoelCreates]

Thanks Pedro, I may actually be doing an alien isolation themed video soon!

[@ProjectAntara]

+1 for the introduction

[@tafsirnahian669]

this video deserves million views... so underrated

[@beastlyidiots9232]

[@ineedmoneyzz2047]

Wow the set looks so professional and cool

[@JoelCreates]

Thank you!

Groovy. I even threw some money at the campaign. I think that means I get a DVD; can’t wait.

[@MichaelSavidgeStoryteller]

This is so inspiring! Your DIY ethics in designing the sets and props, the perfect balance in pacing between detailed explanation and entertaining quips: all of this combined makes this video incredible. You have earned a new subscriber!

[@JoelCreates]

Thanks Michael :)

[@NightsAndDays]

Damn, this was awesome! Keep up the great work.

[@JoelCreates]

Thanks João!

[@RamLaska]

I *love* the fact that you use actual TTY/RTTY tones to produce text on the airlock console. SO COOL! Reminds me of Wargames when Matthew Broderick's character uses a microcassette recorder to record and play back the DTMF tones to open the door.

[@Dragonoidalpha]

The details painted on all of the props look insane!

[@reillystsb]

That is really cool if I win the lottery I'm going to pay you guys to build a Sci-Fi bedroom in my house that looks like a ship traveling through outer space with monitors

[@raserukiiro]

Absolutely amazing! Your exhausted face definitely was worth it lol. Thank you for sharing your experience with your viewers it's a great idea. You'll be big in no time

[@stevenscottcoleman]

I wish I could've been there on set! I've always wanted to know how it all worked behind the scenes. Great work my man!

[@4-kathryn]

This is the first video I've seen from your channel; impressive set! Truly incredible what your team accomplished.

[@jupitersky]

I knew all this random electronic crap would be good for something! Also, I loved the projector based thing and the TTY based thing, I really want to make them now.

[@JoelCreates]

Go for it! Tty devices go as low as like $20 on ebay, and old projectors with burnt out bulbs usually aren't too hard to find, and have lots of cool lenses!

[@CharlesCorbett]

You just casually walked into something I've wanted to do for the last decade

[@JoelCreates]

What do you mean when you say casually?

[@CharlesCorbett]

@@JoelCreates oh you just made it seem like it fell in your lap kind of randomly

[@JoelCreates]

@@CharlesCorbett in some ways yes. What kind of experience do you have in fields related to set design?

[@CharlesCorbett]

​@@JoelCreates not enough to plow right into it, I've always wanted to do it for small projects. But I'm generally well rounded skill wise from electronics to wood working. I've done a lot of building, and done prop creation before. I was more involved when I was in college and actually worked on student films and stage productions since high school. My original comment, if anything, was a compliment - you went and did it while I did not

[@JoelCreates]

@@CharlesCorbett I appreciate it, it was definitely a sacrifice. I am thankful I was in the position to be able to commit so fully to it for so long!

[@NoWheyHombre]

As a sci fi fan, I love how the console build looks. As a home builder, I know the amount of GHGs produced and fossil fuels consumed producing that pink foam and it makes me weep.

[@JoelCreates]

I've repurposed pieces of that movie set foam dozens of times

[@NoWheyHombre]

@@JoelCreates That's great! More reuse than the average building site for sure. I always try to squirrel away the scrape for other projects. Its surprisingly expensive!

If you want to give the footage on your screen a retro look I’d recommend adding scanlines and whatever they call the display curve where what the screen is displaying kinda curves the close it gets to the edge of the screen.

Joel, when I receive packing peanuts in the mail, I cry. I hate them. They fragment and cling to everything. Does your foam cutting machine create a nightmare cleanup, after fabrication?

Glad to be here before 10k. I’ve loved how much you have grown and expanded how you create. Get “I did a thing” to introduce you to William, Michael, and Ian, (oh and the other Ian) , and you will blow the FUCK up bro. You deserve it. (Ps I love your home made tracks )
