One of the things that drives me crazy in the prop replica world is that prop makers and set designers can use random crap in a movie because they know what visual clues we look for in sci-fi. We search high and low for "greeblies" they had sitting in a big pile. In Aliens, they used pallets or milk crates for the Sulaco floor. These have been reused in other scifi. They create a "look" of a spaceship floor.
Padded walls, tubes and pipes, illuminated circles, geometric shapes. I was looking at the thread, Smugglers Room. He is recreating a specific set from Star Wars, but the same elements show up again and again.
I keep adding to my basement prop room which has painted concrete walls. I can't decide in a specific style so I will probably do a montage of various ideas.
What I am interested in is; What are the clues?
Conduit/pipes - Complexity and confined space.
Padded walls - Safety in movement
Geometric shapes - Prefabricated- machine built
Illuminated panels - advanced technology
My basement is a mess due to x-mas and ongoing projects but you see the feeble attempt at the sulaco hanger.
