How do you achieve the (flawless) aesthetics of science fiction with limited budget, space and time? Adam Savage speaks to production designer Tony Ianni about how he and his team of hundreds create The Expanse's many otherworldly -- and very convincing -- sets with a TV budget and timeline.

Adam interviews Savage.
Imagine being able to hire an interior designer for your house and asking them to “Belter this up 40%”... Fantastic content. Thanks for sharing!
I could literally listen to these people talking FOR HOURS...

When they opened the door and walked in I literally said out loud "Whoah!". These people do incredible work!
By the thumbnail I thought Adam had made a video where he interviews himself and I was seriously concerned he had lost his marbles LOL.

I just discovered The Expanse and I LOVE the show. Binged watched all 6 seasons in 4 days. And I’m back to watch Season 1 again.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the EXPANSE! I can't wait for Season 5. I hope they continue with this. Amazon Video Prime is killing it!!

This shows the sheer amount of work that needs to be put in. Designing, building, plannig. Really puts into perspective why so many people are required to work on this.
I love all the CPU heat sinks they used ... still has the thermal paste on them!
Thumbnail looks like Adam is interviewing himself

Its the designer uniform
The sets, intricate details of them, and the authentic, believable look was actually the reason why I was hooked from S1E1 already and still freaking love how much work they put into these details.
There are moments when I am _almost_ jealous that Adam gets to see all these amazing places. But then I am glad than Adam goes there and not me. Because he is such an amazing interviewer and narrator that it is a lot more fun to watch him visiting those places and talking to the people there.
the team behind the expanse deserve so much credit its by far the best sci fi
From the thumbnail I thought for a second it was Adam interviewing his twin brother or something, lol ;)

I love the show. The asthetics really picked up on season two. Looking forward for season 5 soon!!!! I would love to see more documentaries about this set design.
I loved your part in the show. Especially the look on your face when you were floating in space!!
Whoever works for this guy is lucky. What a fantastic artist.
0:37 The interview stars with Adam saying: - so Tony, I'm your lost twin brother 😅😂🤣
Wow, hearing how that guy got to be where he is, that's quite the professional journey!
Awesome, Mr. Savage. Looking forward to the next season.
the expanse has been far one of my most favorite shows ever and i squelled when i seen you in an episode. all the coverage ive seen on this channel about the show is amazing and i love it. thank you so much for the content.
Thanks Adam, as a Production Designer and instructor this is a great BTS for people just breaking in to see what it's like to work in art department and even hear about the tough journey breaking in.
Insane how it go from "oh we're on the set of the expanse" to "oh we're travelling from Ceres to Ganymede in a belter ship" that's how good the set design is
Never heard of The Expanse, at least I have something new to watch now!

Be sure to start from the beginning. I started watching a few episodes in (before Amazon), got lost/bored and let it go. After watching some of Adam's interviews, I gave it another shot, this time from the beginning. It's fantastic. Looking forward to the next season! (When I saw this video, I got excited thinking a new season was about to launch.. darn)
Love this expanse series. Thank you and best wishes from Argentina!
Fantastic stuff as a carpenter (retired) and maker of anything, I wish I had gotten into a job like this years ago.

So awesome! Can't wait for the next season! I loved Adam's cameo appearance, even though it was ill fated maybe a second cameo is possible!
Makes me want to get into the industry even more. Set design and decoration is so much fun. Love stuff like this.
So glad this is still being made.
Love these! More please!
Great series, awesome that Amazon saved it. Super excited to see what comes next!
Love your interviews!
I love this stuff! Awesome interview!! 👍🏼 Right On!
One of my old school friends worked in Aliens and I went to the crew showing. In the scene where Ripley chases Newt under the floor they meet in Newts 'nest' and my friend tells me to look for the back of a crt TV panel sprayed silver with buttons added on the wall. Certainly brought me down to earth.
My favorite show! Thanks Adam!
Two videos in one day? Thank you guys! 🥰💚💛❤🖤💛❤
Love the insight into this show, thanx a lot Adam :)
Wow, thanks for this Adam! I would love to be a production designer in the future! This was great insight into that role, I have never seen the show, I'll look into it, looks cool! :)
SO READY FOR MORE EXPANSE
Well, I guess that's my TV viewing sorted for the foreseeable. I hope the Expanse lives up to the set design! Who am I kidding, if Adam loves it, it must be great!
Interviewing yourself is next level humbleness.
Amazing interview Adam, great work
I love seeing The Expanse stuff, the show is so good.
love seeing the up close details of the panels. the one was heat sinks and a motorcycle clutch cover
Yeeeeas yeees. Thats what I want to see from you Adam.
I so want to do a theme like that to my home office. That would be amazing to be able to create in such a wonderful space. And I love that Adam went through the "use other door" door. =)
Can't wait for the next season, hope you have loads more of these little sneak peeks into the BTS Adam :)
This was great!
Awesome! So very interesting.
I've met Tony. He's a really great guy!
Bwah! those close ups (3:43) Just a couple of PC cooling towers and a motor oil pan clued on a board... a Pneumatic cilinder... and some piping you could get in any hardware store. looks so easy...
Amazing show!
Nice to hear there using the books no woneder it feels so real
this stuff is so awesome! i would love to walk around in these sets
Cant wait for season 5
I want that to be my Efing Man Cave!!!

*Thought I was trippin when I saw the thumbnail*
seriously cannot wait....how much longer?
On this episode of "Adam nerds out about cool stuff" Adam interviews his twin!
When I move out (go to university) I am definitely making my apartment look like a spaceship! Well, it's my place, I chose the interior design! :)
I literally can not get enough of the expanse
WOW!!!!
I love Tony's work in Black Sabbath
You look majestic.
Love it :) :)
I REALLY hope the series can stay in production through all 9 books.
i didnt read the title at first but from the thumbnail SOMEHOW my brain decided "this is a video about hamd to hand combat in low gravity where adam savage goes on a low g plane again and talks about judo with some other guy that i thought was also adam savage more a sec"
3:45 looks like frequency generator, and 03:55 looks like OBA (Oxygen Breathing Apparatus) for fire fighting.. both of which I had used during my time in Navy hehe

The first was a Fluke 1900A Multi-Counter mounted upside-down. I haven't seen any since my uni days back in the 1980s and they were probably ten or twenty years old back then.
Adam was in heaven in this episode.
Season 5, I need you.
I'm only midway through season two. So much to look forward to. Then I will read the books. Totally opposite of how I'd usually do it.
Awsum, when he walked into the 'ship' i instantly wanted to build it as my bedroom, id love to have the inspiration and money to convert my whole home to the insides of a space ship
Nice

if i ever get a house of my own i want too build a set room where i have my computers in that looks like that even a electronics lab of some sort off to the side for me to play in .
The console behind them looks like it has a functional pneumatic tilting mechanism. Noe I want to see it in motion.
The thumbnail looks like Adam's about to spar with himself lol!
I looked at the small thumbnail and thought it was Adam interviewing himself 😂
Super
I would really love to see the behind the scenes of how they do the zero G shots

Another great video (I'm at 1:39 now). Longtime fan here (about 5 years). I'm intrigued by the lack of masks or any mention of COVID-19 at the beginning of this video. I'm trying to decide whether it's a deliberate attempt to provoke controversy and increase attention to the channel, or just very clever, or both :)

@@techiegm Okay - good to hear :) I sincerely think Adam sets a superb example as a person in general, so I strongly suspected it was pre-COVID.
The expanse is the single best sci fi show to ever come on tv, period.👍👍👍
Does anyone know the ship that Tony mentions at 2:00 as Drummer's ship in Season 4, "DeWalt" or something? Can't seem to find a source for it.
Tony Ianni, alternate universe cousin to Tony Iommi! One is a rockstar at set design, the other, father of heavy metal! :)
When are you going to talk about dark crystal age of resistance
There should be a death star one day build
Handshake nostalgia.
Hi Adam, have you got yourself a cameo yet or is that still lobby work in progress? 😉
Wait, this is new? From the Season 5 shoot?
This was a real spider man pointing type thing for me
KOOL
9 minutes in and i realised this is not Tony from Black Sabbath giving us a tour of his House.
adam savage reviewing his clone's handiwork.
two adams?
For those of us unfamiliar with the series, what year does it take place?? I see technology looks exactly like in 2015, apparently, digital control panels haven't been invented, like touchpads, everything is still analog, switches, levers, buttons, etc.????

Touchpads SUCK. Glad the future got rid of them.
For a moment the thumbnail made me think Adam was squaring up with his evil clone.
I think we just heard Drummer is getting her own ship. nice
