Looks incredible! This particular build reminds of the early days of ILM and how those artists mashed, glued, and painted whatever they could find to create physical props. Creating physical props is an art form and you sir, are a master.

Love seeing you make these builds!
You take random stuff and well, create Sci-fi

Love watching you build Anthony. I know you're a big shapes guy, $20 says you're like me and will be at a thrift store, see something with a cool shape, and but it just because you know you will use it in a build.

Same way with changing a build when two pieces get misaligned and all of a sudden it looks better because of the new profile shape. :) 3d printing has been a very good thing for greebles too.

The practical and in camera effects enhanced with the CGI is the way to go for low budget and can be done well. When I was in high school it was film cameras and video cameras weren't really a common thing. Now in days if you wanted to can you film a short completely on your phone's camera. You can edit it on some free open source software (an add some effects) as well as render it. Just the idea of being able to pull that off on a home computer and a freaking phone would have been a pie in the sky dream back then. Use the tools you have to better your craft. The day you stop learning is the day you stop breathing,

Fellow makers, don't forget your automobile junkyards. We have a pair of yards called "Pull and Save" meaning they will charge you three bucks to wander aound their yard, and an additional charge (not much) for whatever treasure/greeblie you take off one of their wrecked cars. They have lots of plastics, hoses, and odd-looking parts to stoke your imiginaion .

Even knowing that these things are made for like a buck fifty and some spit (ok exaggerated there, but...) It doesn't take away from the immersion when watching the movie. That's the magic of cinema.
Also, it's good that you make everything with disassembly in mind. It means you can keep the bits to mash up in other productions where possible.

If you add shimmer powder to the water it would look like plasma

[WernerKaffl]

Ohhhh I love it. I love how you take random stuff and make altogether different stuff from those. I'm working that way myself, re-using stuff from tipp shops and scrap yards, hardware stores and recycling places 🙂
I love to look at something and see an entirely unrelated thing in it!
Love your channel!

[TinyMaths]

Always get excited when I see a new vid come out. Your build vids are always such fun; I basically show up so I can live vicariously through your prop building mastery.

[euansmith]

I love a fun practical effects shot. Would a bit of smoke in the air have added to the sense of scale for the reactor; or, maybe a slightly lower angle shot?

[norocomgt]

I knew about Wakener before I knew about this channel. Thank you for taking us along on how you created your props! It’s very helpful and interesting.

[WarGamerGirl]

That fish tank looks like it's only a little smaller than the ones in Aliens that the face huggers were in. I'm going to go look on amazon for the larger ones now.

[kurogiza]

Such an awesome build! And thanks for the Apex tip, turns out they are about 4 miles from me, I'll have to go check it out.

[seanmeadows]

Excellent video Anthony, definitely one of the best. The Apex place looked fantastic, I would love to be let loose in there, if only there was one here in the UK. Seeing that prop in the film really looked the part, you are certainly tantalising us with these clips. Really looking forward to Wakener, excellent work!

[dvictorbrown]

You are an inspiring creator! Thank you for all of the hard work and for sharing with all of us!

[jakobeast]

awesome!! loved the 60s vaccuum cleaners in the bg!! Would not have spotted that until you pointed it out

[garystaud]

Freaking awesome. You are a Renaissance man.

[chrishomenuk]

Definitely going to be making some of these for my Warhammer 40K table top gaming😊👌👍

[charlessampson]

Love it, and so much better than conventional CGI, well worth the time and effort which you put into it. The best scratch builers always make stuff look so simple which they invariably are not. Thanks for sharing man. Keep up the great work.

[Davedarko]

I've recently been to LA and also was at APEX - love their container full of old computers that blink :)

[RocketPunchHero]

Haven't even begun watching the tutorial and I already gave you a like anyway because you always bring the value my man.
