    If you put masking tape around where you’re cutting, it becomes less likely to shatter. Also your wood burner should have a hot knife attachment.

      Tape is an excellent idea....also soaking the plastic in hot tap water to loosen it up helps also!

    I really like these dollar store builds: just shows what you can do with a few dollars, a few bits and pieces and some imagination. Great video thanks for sharing.

    Nice build! I love the blue light up wire, so many uses for something like that. As for Murphy's law, I know that one all to well lol. Great video Anthony, thanks for all the creative ideas.

    Ah, I see you have followed Exeter's instructions and built an Interocitor with Paraglitch Sidereal Spangle. This was another fun build; thank you for sharing your skill and enthusiasm.

    I’m no art major, but I feel like adding a pop of an opposite color purple deepens the contrast on the gold and earth tones.
    In creative terms it adds intrigue because your mind wanders to other surfaces and materials the prop came in contact with.

    If you wanted something a bit over the top you could turn the sides and top into infinity mirrors.
    I make my own emery boards out of tongue depressors and sand paper, that way for what you would spend on a few boards you can make a lot more and make them how you want them, one strength on both sides or different strengths on each side.
    Great stuff, Cheers.

    Tbh, I liked the tupperware. The dark pyramid absorbs too much light, whereas the translucent plastic made it look more complex, mysterious and possibly alive.

    I know you abandoned the Russian TupperDolls, but why did you sand the outside and not the inside?
    I think the translucent plastic exterior would make your lights glow if you sanded inside maybe ???

    Have to love it when you see a shape, put it back, and are 3 isles away from it and have to go back because the slow burning fuse took a few minutes to reach that creative explosion.
    That looks cool but don't have a use for it to the holy shit it all fits together moments are great especially when you're still in the store. :)
    You'll poop you're laughing on my current build....

    The great thing about props like this is they're recyclable from one film to the next. What might be the Macguffin and point of focus in one film can just be used as set dressing in several others.

    Thanks for sharing this. I know the issue with testing everything before assembly. I was making a blaster and put an LED in it wired to the trigger. Everything worked fine until I did the final assembly and couldn't access anything any more.

    As a new person learning to make prop’s. MACGRUFFEN is a new word I learned to describe things. Where would I go to learn these terms? Thanks for what your doing.

    • @planetschlock
      @planetschlock 3 года назад

      It's a screenwriting term but you see it pop up quite a bit in other craft of writing books. Alfred Hitchcock describes Macguffins (and I'm paraphrasing from memory here) as "a thing the characters care about that the audience doesn't".

    That was cool watching you go through the process of lighting the inside. In the end the containers would not have looked right. 🛸

  • @f4lloutgaymer
    @f4lloutgaymer 2 года назад

    This is such a wonderful prop.
    As I was watching, I had 2 ideas pop to mind for this build (or one like it, obviously. 😁).
    1 - To use two different string leds for the "mysterious power". One set to the slow flash speed, the second at the faster flashing speed. Give it a kind of pulsing effect.
    2 - was to like the inside with frosted clear plastic. To give the holes depth, but to also disperse the led light more and not show the glowing object itself.
    Again, I love what you built. Your build gave me ideas for my own MacGuffin, were I to build one (when I have a studio again. Someday.)
    Cheers and Excellence to you, very talented sir. Party on. 🤘🎸😎🥳🌈
