For fans of The Fifth Element, this model miniature will be instantly recognizable as the Mondoshawan ship from the beginning of the film. But as Adam Savage learns as he gets up close to the details of this prop, it's actually a study model created in pre-production to allow the director and production team to approve and refine the form of the ship. This beautiful model shows how effective kitbashing and paint weathering can be to convey design ideas, and is itself a lovely artifact from the days of practical model miniature work in film.

In the past two decades, there are a bunch of stuff I envied Adam for. But this now takes one of the top spots But what makes this video so extra valuable, and I am thankful for it, is Adam looking at the job of a trade colleague, as he himself has done it too. He is speaking and expertly looking through the eyes of somebody who can see what has been done and how and why. Great video to share with us.

Fifth Element is the future dystopian film that clings to me. No, its not a realistic portrayal of the future but where some find happiness in Star Trek or Star Wars universe, Fifth Element speaks to me for so many reasons. Its just a perfect movie. The casting, the filming, the story, the over-top-villains and heroes. All of it. My wife will skip over it when it pops up on the cable listings because she knows I will want to watch whatever 10-15 minutes is playing right then. Lol

@tomaccino 2 года назад

Kinder Surprise egg-containers! I wish my grandma was still alive,so I could show her the spaceship from the movie(I guess she's seen the movie a couple times in tv when she was alive though-), and this video too as a comparison, because she made so many diy-tinkered toys from household materials, like the forementioned Kinder-eggs! She used them a lot for so many things! I instantly recognized them when I saw this maquette-model from closeup! :D This kinda confirms my pride towards her creativity even more! I would've never thought that they've used materials and techniques like this for so many grand movies!

This video reminded me of how when my mom inherited my grandmother's very plain looking china cabinet, she cut out the bottoms of egg cartons, painted them black, put them on a strip of double-sided tape, added it as a border along the top of the cabinet and used some gold rub and buff on it. The result was it looked like the cabinet had some fancy molding on it. You would never guess it was the bottoms of egg cartons!

Those conical "nozzles" on the "engines" remind me of some disposable vacuum-formed styrene coffee cups my parents had that would snap fit into a Bakelite (or similar hard plastic) handle unit. I think they dated from the '60s, though they could well have still been made into the '90s (or the model shop had a stock of the liners).

@VegetaLF7 3 года назад

There's a Starfleet ship in Star Trek TNG that literally has highlighters glued onto the surface of the saucer, functioning as munitions pods. One of the Borg Cubes is built out of layer after layer after layer of the frames leftover from model kits after you remove the pieces. Kit-bashing is just incredible to see when it's done right.

Much love for the camp of real props... also gives the actors something to play with and that spontaneity of a random real made thing in my world is irreplaceable. Thank you for making a video about this. When I seen the ship, I gasped aloud and made my loving partner click it... there where mistakes but we got here tehe Keep up the good fight!

There's something cool and almost confrontational about it artistically. It is this alien and strange heap of different parts that has this oddly familiar humanity to it. Like something out of a used up Moebius universe, or Giger painting, confronting us about human carelessness leading us to some strange disturbing future.

@KairuHakubi 3 года назад

I wonder if perhaps some of that was deliberate, because they wanted that 'used future' aspect. Like I know in that one Jim Henson Hour special _Monster Maker,_ the Ultragorgon was deliberately rushed so it would look unfinished, which it was meant to be in the plot.
