Syfy's 'Hot Set' season 1

I've added it to my dvr. I love watching Face Off to see the ideas that the contestants come up with. I'm hoping this will be similar. :)
 
I question if I will like this more than Face Off. I think the larger scale may be a bit more entertaining.

I'm hoping for it to be much more entertaining the Face Off. I think there will be a whole different level of production value for 'Hot Set'
 
It looks like they work in teams and I can already imagine the first episode.
Team member one: "Dude, stop using my tools."
Team member two: "Dude, stop sucking."
Team captain in side interview: "We can't win while these two fight. I'm worried we might get sent home on the first competition."

Sent from my Etch-A-Sketch
 
hot set.... anyone else excited?

I love face off and I'm hoping hot set is just as cool since it seems more into what a lot of us do
 
For a while there i thought the dude was going to win.

Cool how they start with 2 contestants and they pick a winner at the end and it's not the drawn-out process of eliminating 1 of several contestants each show.

I enjoyed it.
 
Re: hot set.... anyone else excited?

Watched it and I didn't see anything new. Most of the techniques they used I saw on a couple episodes of Monster House on Discovery Channel almost ten years ago.
 
I liked it. But, I see why hers won instead. She had one that had a "Mars" look, which gave her more of an alien planet edge. But, I think that is why she should have lost. We've seen Mars, we want new alien world. If that guy only made it look more like an alien creature.

I'll keep watching, it is rather interesting.

I agree the guy could have won with his concept, had he handled it right. If he had it softer in areas and more organic and alive it would have sold the idea better. I kept imagining his film shot, of the guy looking around, stumbling on thr soft unstable ground, only to figure out what it was, and that last shot as the camera pulls back from him, giant wings close in around him as they fade out.

But I will say I liked the layout the girl had better. It had a nice flow that drew your eye into the set, while thr other one was more flat.
 
Yeah, I agree. I'll be completely honest(maybe others might agree) they almost made it seem(through editing) that there was a doubt casted over her ambitious ideas. Her own husband was having issues as well at one point.

The other guy seemed quite confident in the beginning. I was actually surprised at how they accidentally ripped a hole in their set wall by pushing from the other side. I'm surprised they didn't see that coming.

I didn't think she should have used a 'tree', however, for an overall artistic feel and general production value, she did have the more interesting set. I guess with the overall look of another planet, possibly Mars-like, knowing there are no trees on Mars..yeah, they can let that slide when they see attention to detail in more critical areas.
 
I like the concept of the show and generally liked the results they came up with, though I, too, was kind of disappointed that Abra decided to go with the 'burned out' alien planet.

When they said 'forbidding landscape' and said they wanted something completely new and original, the first thing that popped into my head was "How cool would it be to do a crystalline landscape?" I'm thinking bright jewel tones, glittering sand, no plants whatsoever and no indication of animals... beautiful but definitely not someplace you'd want to have to try to survive.
