Peter Capaldi has said that when providing his input into the 12th Doctor's original costume he deliberately pushed for something that fans, some of whom maybe didn't have a lot of money, could replicate easily (partly, I suspect, of course because he was famously a fan himself as a youngster, wrote letters to the production etc. so knew exactly what it meant to them).

I sure don't envy design around all that. The doctor being a man of action you can't really rely on accessories, like the fez isn't really that iconic because the Doctor can't practically wear it often. Or sunglasses, while a nice addition they're a challenge acting and silly in many scenes. So there's really the clothes that need to be particular bu not outlandish that similar garments can be found or altered, yet the ensemble has to be distinctive enough that the fan doesn't just look like themselves in a suit.

That is something I often forget when talking about channels and shows I watch. Just because something is a big deal to me doesn't mean the guy next to me knows or cares about it.

So, speaking of not recognizing people, Adam -- about a decade ago, you came to a manufacturing center I worked at to film some corporate promotional video. I knew that one was being filmed that day, but I hadn't known who the hosts were going to be, and so I walked in in the morning, walked past the room with the printers, and took passing note through the windows of somebody in what I thought at the time was a kind of silly hat being shown around the room. I took the measurements I needed, and went back to my desk, and a little while later one of my coworkers got in and asked what was up, "Oh, there's somebody with kind of a funny hat back in the shop getting a tour." My co-worker asks, "Oh, who? Were they with Adam Savage?" I might not have recognized the hat, but I loved Mythbusters, so I don't think I got much else useful done that entire day, other than listen in to the discussions and stuff during filming. I was insanely jealous of the colleagues who'd gotten to be in it more. (I think the back of my head made some B-roll shot the previous day.) So sometimes people know who you are we just don't....you know. Know that you're you.

Adam I hope you read this - thank you for sharing your life stories with us. In a lot of ways, these livestreams are a form of a memoir. And in a way, you're also being a strong mentor to all of us. I appreciate all of your work to put these stories out there and I can't wait to see more of them in the years to come :)

I worked on a Syfy show called Hunters. I moddled an alien skull that we 3d printed for the show. They actually released my model as a promo which was cool.

2:30ish This feels almost like the gaming community and modding... For pretty much every game, it's written in the EULA that we all "sign" just by installing it, that modification of assets is not allowed. AND YET, the vast majority of game devs/studios/publishers never follow up on it. Yes, SOME do, like Rockstar, but I think in most of those cases it's because they can be used in multilayer (MP) mode and give unfair advantage. Even then, there have been times when MP games have allowed modding to a degree. World of Warcraft in the early days had an amazing HUD mod that tapped into a website and provided you with information on enemies and loot. And since it didn't offer any unfair advantage, they allowed it for YEARS _(I do think that it eventually changed later on, for whatever reason)._ It's great when those with the power DO turn a blind eye to things like this. ♥️

Still, it's hard being a person, especially an introvert in a world that likes loud, shouty people who get really emotional.

Good for you doing your job.

When I was adding interior detail parts to the droids on the Star Wars prequels, I looked forward to see how the R2/droid builders were going to interpret it.

I've always appreciated your candid process of creativity.

There are too many people who seem to think that models and props exist not to look good on screen but to be put in a museum despite the majority of it rarely surviving past production. Most of it gets the same treatment as the stuff from Star Trek The Motion Picture -some guys with axes show up after the filming and smash everything into pieces just because the production company doesn't want to pay for storage.

Mortal Engines is an under-appreciated movie but is full of little Easter Eggs for fans. Two of my favourites being the Minions in the Museum of Antiquities (as 'deities') and Valentine's window in his house is based on the Millennium Falcon window.

Hi Adam, thank you for another insightful interview, do you have any big builds on the horizon? Always look forward to your epic builds, have learnt so much from you. Maybe do a back to basics build where you use just basic tools rather than the serious kit you have in the cave.

Don't be embarrassed by what you do to earn a living and support your family. Its your craft and what makes you happy and if you found a career doing it , so much the better . In my case I find that most people are interested , some are uninterested or don't understand when you tell them and others think that's cool, you are doing what you love. I find it odd how some careers and hobbies are looked at negatively vs others simply because the person is not interested in that subject. I don't follow sports, don't care about it. I often find that when people find out that fact they are put off by it or even shocked because that happens to be more socially acceptable. Follow your own path and don't worry about what people think. They aren't living your life you are. If you are a maker or into cosplay and it makes you happy then do it embrace it!

I build models and also assemble kits. Admittedly, it's faster to assemble in most cases. After years of seeing the alterations that occur from concept drawing to finished product I remain baffled by the need to release kits in bizarre box scales. With the enduring popularity of 1/72, 1/2500, and 1/1000 kits, I wish there were ever more industry people who'd stop for a minute and make a design adjustment for scale's sake. There's money in merch, after all.

If a studio needs an example of how well providing 3D prop prints could work, they should look to the Grateful Dead and their embrace of fans taping concerts. Obviously, a lot of different factors go into creating a Grateful Dead cultural phenomenon, but those tapers were foundational. I think the right studio with the right franchise could create something very cool

Hmmm, I am indeed one of those that did some builds for STDisco having grown up with TOS and TNG. Also, Nice shout out to Jim. He's a good egg and it's a small community in Toronto.

Be honest herer. Mythbusters had a huge hand in creating fans who wanted their own versions of something and The both of you showing that "simple" camera distant replicas could be made in the bathroom of an apartment.

I'm a photographer and work a decent amount of celebrity events and i agree, it's boring to not just answer what you're known for. Most are cool with it and i understand the attitude of "I'm not here to explain my resume" but half the time, it's like you're "you're mainly known for 1 thing, and that's OK, just spit it out😂" I worked with Xander Berkeley and he was great with all the fans and random non fans who happen to stumble. One person asked me who he was so i named off a few things, they didn't know but insisted he looked familiar. I know that "tip of the tongue" can be frustrating so i really wanted to help so i was like "he was john connors asshole step dad in terminator 2" Xander stopped what he was doing, gave me the stink eye and said "ive done other things since then" and then let out a big laugh. I was worried for a second there but he was just messing with me

8:06 I’ve never thought about that happening in a social interaction. But then again, interpersonal is a mystery to me.

Great video sir 👍 😊

Judy Greer? She was Deadly Girl in the Specials. "I used to think I didn't need a family. I mean, I had the demons and the walking skeletons. But the difference between a walking skeleton and a kid is, a kid won't eat the soft parts of your face while you're sleeping."

One thing has been front and center for prop sales to fans is toys. There is such competition for higher end things, it has "trickled up" to collectors.

Programmers use Rubber Ducks to talk through problems just because hearing them out loud makes a difference. I imagine something like that could help with 'how do I explain' to other people.

Years ago I was doing civil war reenacting and used to leave my house in full uniform, and at first, if I had to stop somewhere (for coffee or what ever was self conscious about how I was dressed, after a short time I just owned it and would gleefully wait for the looks etc. ...so just own it... "I'm building a phaser!"

Ok, I read the title wrong. I was thinking about how the Serenity set on Firefly had been built with the shooting lights built into the set, so that the cameras could film in all the odd corners. So when I read about how prop makers might consider fans in their builds I was thinking about necessary ventilation on set.

@2:55 I've seen that over and over. I didn't think Jonathan Coulton's Thing-A-Week was going to work out-giving it all away for free, are you crazy?-but then it did, a lot. I see creatives these days gaining huge fan bases for giving things away all the time. Prusa has started a brands initiative that I hope keeps growing, where, say, a vacuum company can put up replacement parts as free STL files you can print yourself, or a fun brand can put out upgrades and accessories, and there are a bunch so far, like Adafruit, Raspberry Pi, Festool, Cooler Master, etc.

Hey Adam! On THAT note, at 3 minutes in,... you should TOTALLY make 3D kits of the models you make. TAKE my money, is all I'll say about THAT!

I make acrylic hyperbaric chambers to help burn victims recover. Wow that's really great! I made the acrylic nosecone of the submarine in the opening credits of Star Trek Enterprise. Crickets. I made the heart of the Large Hadron Collider. Wind whistles. I made the fuselage turning fixture for the Boeing triple seven jumbo jet which has flown 30 years without a single mass fatality accident to this day. Awkward silence. I paint faces for Mardi Gras. Wow! Can you paint mine? Sure Sit down right here. $20.00. I made the aquarium windows for Atlantis, and The Aquarium of the Americas right over on canal street. Gee, I've never been there. That's ok. Neither have I.

I always thought it would be fun if I ever ran into a celebrity I was familiar with, to reference something very not why they are famous. But I doubt I will run into anyone. "Weren't you in that one episode of big bang theory?" is always a fun thought for all the celebs that did a one-off.

I can't say I feel embarrassed, but I do feel defensive. The questions always feel like they're a thinly veiled "why waste time on that" from someone outside the envelope of that kind of work. Whether that be fandom things or work things. Inside the envelope, I feel embarrassed, but entirely because of imposter syndrome. And not without reason. I recently spoke at a conference after more than a decade of being pressured to do so, and covered my nervousness with humor. I said we were using our current architecture AND arcane dark magic, implying it was out of date and obscure. Someone afterwards made a comment implying our architecture was the out of date thing, and that pretty much shut me down. Even though he was wrong to a shocking degree (it's literally the second most common).

My personal opinion: I think Star Trek selling books with ship designs and what not is something the studios should consider. Sell a book with scale drawings and a license to make the object not-for-profit. Or patterns for outfits. It wouldn’t really be any different than any other merchandise. The problem is keeping the studios from being greedy.

Yeah, there's a bunch of things they could do for fans with a creative streak. Star Trek in particular has a very long tradition of fan media of various types. It wouldn't be that hard for example to set up a publishing imprint that publishes Star Trek fanfic, and I can think of some fanfic projects that definitely deserve something like that.

Do you ever get embarrassed describing your current projects? I had to laugh. I collect Lego. I want to display them. I started building a massive cabinet in my garage. The garage was too small. I decided to build a 600 sq ft shop. So, I am building a massive shop so that I can display my toys. 😂

Reminds me a bit of the recent vtuber explosion. When they come out with a new, intricate or complex design they end up offhandedly apologizing to Fan Artists or Cosplayers.

I'm not a cosplayer or fan prop maker, but I wonder... Would there be a market for the studios, once everything has wrapped, to SELL "Maker Kits"? So for example: - If they had to make a costume almost entirely from scratch, offer a "costume kit" that contains all the materials/baubles/pstches/doodads that might be hard to source, as well as a BoM List of the easy to source items, to still let the fans literally make it to their size requirements. (maybe labeling the kits as "Sm to Md", "Lg to XLg", "XXL to XXXL" which have sufficient material) - Prop Kits would similarly have all the hard stuff to source, but not anything circuits that might have been custom made since having to make more would now be entering into a produced product. The maker would still have to do all the legwork in crafting it, cutting stuff to size, and then painting and/or weathering. Therefore, presumably, still giving you a sense of pride in the end. Or, would this actually NOT interest folks? Since now many, _many_ people would be walking around with that prop, or as those characters, robbing you of being more unique compared to before? 😅 I can totally appreciate that if so... 🤔 On the flip side, it might still sell alot since now so many others who considered it too laborious to source stuff, would now be able to build their favorite costume/prop... 🤷‍♂️☺️

Why would a prop designer be PROUD of the fact that he doesn't want to know what the script says? That seems insane to me. Why not make the props even more immersive with the action?

Holy crap! So you're tellin' me the only problem here is the money? A nothing-thing we made up and put in between us and all of the some-things we need to stay alive. Like what if we had as system that helped people find fulfillment through collective actualization rather than everyone wandering around searching for self-actualization in a consumer-centric capitalist corpocracy. People doing and making what they want and love doing and making because it's a benefit to everyone, not because they can't feed themselves if they can't. We literally have drones and robots now to take care of the things we don't want to. What if we stop using them to them to TOS brown kids 1000s of miles away, which in turn is stuffing billions of dollars in the pockets of U.S. arms manufacturers, and start using them to help people. Humans get so much benefit from the act of creating weather it's Art, Infrastructure, or life itself, let's make it so everyone has access to be able to engage in more acts of creation, instead of being complicit to k!ll!ng.

It would be funnier if Adam messed with people. Stranger, "Do I know you?" Adam, "Yes, Industrial Light and Magic "

Hellow

The modern writers damn sure don’t.

I have about 200 followers on TikTok and I don't even post content. Go figure.

I've made a few things for big budget productions. We definitely put some stuff in some of our pieces that only the absolute über nerd would spot. We are fans as well as makers, and we know the thrill of finding the little treasures others haven't spotted.

Also, I made a brick film where a Lego red brick was locked up and needs to escape after committing a crime. It’s very surreal.

It seems like fallout did

One of my biggest pet peeves is people who try dining out on something they did that’s long since past. It can be celebrities, someone who did you a favour that one time, or someone who had nothing directly to do with it (Americans still taking credit for and expecting thanks for WW2 involvement).

And here I thought it was the "tanks" of the Yanks that helped win WW2...

Consider the phrasing; not takibg credit for winning it solo, but merely for participating. The USA deserves no credit at all, apparently. That is a bizarre and spiteful attitude. Nothing makes a weak man more hateful than aid.

@@jagdson2701 The US didn’t get involved in WW2 out of some moral imperative. If they had, they would have been fighting since 1 September 1939. It wasn’t until the USA itself was attacked at Pearl Harbour on 7 Dec 1941 that the USA joined the war. So yeah, had they themselves not been attacked, the USA would have sat on the sidelines and watched.

If someone asks who you are, you should just say "If you don't know me, it's very unlikely that you would be interested." Either that or say "I make pornography"
