Adam Savage's Overlook Hotel Maze Model

  • Over the span of a month, Adam designed and built an accurate replica of the hedge maze architectural model from Stanley Kubrick's The Shining. The maze model, as seen in The Overlook Hotel, is only seen briefly, but reference screenshots from throughout the film allowed Adam to painstakingly recreate it. The project ended up as one of Adam's more labor-intensive builds in recent memory!

      Ahhhh sooo good. As someone who loves the Shining so much that at 14 I put a WALL size poster from the film of Jack coming through the door saying "Here's Johnny" behind my bed this makes me soooo happy. And 14 year old me is GIDDY! PERFECTION.

      All work and no play... but does it include the "emergency help ringers"? At least once or twice while a walking through the maze Wendy and Danny pass what appears to be a rack, with a triangle bell and mallet which I would assume was to ring for help if you couldn't get out of the maze.

However, the knowledge that you've made something so special and complete makes it okay in the end.

    Two things I especially like about this video both involve accessibility:
    1) Maker accessibility. Doesn't require any tools more expensive or difficult to use than a table saw, and a maker without a table saw can find a workaround.
    2) Viewer accessibility. It's easy to identify with Norm in this conversation as he asks questions the audience is already thinking.

    Recreating stuff already in movies that have been recreated already is one thing, but recreating something from a movie that's not even the same in any of the shots and has only been recreated in a partial, mock-up way and is more-or-less 99% accurate is another. Congrats, this is an amazing model!

  • @PianoXfan1
    @PianoXfan1 9 лет назад +202

    As soon as I saw this I had my own idea. Taking a template like Adam made, but using it to create a large flat plant pot. Then filling the 'box' with dirt and putting the pathways in so it covers the soil. Then actually finding a type of plant that would grow, but look like a scaled version of a hedge maze. Not sure what I'd use. Maybe I'd use chia and cut it into a hedge type style? Not sure, but if you did it right with the correct materials and ensured mold wouldn't grow I think it would be outstanding. I think I might attempt this at some point.

  • @muskokamike127
    @muskokamike127 8 лет назад +20

    I love Adam and he's brilliant in so many ways but in reality, there are things he could have done that would have made this build go more quickly and easier:
    1) Used a CNC router to do the perimeter walls and any walls with internal alcoves.
    2) If he really wanted the walls to be permanent he could have used dowels and glue. Dowels and glue have held furniture together for centuries so in this instance, the walls would stay in place. The glue could be applied to the dowel itself so there will be no worry about bleed through. In fact, that are plastic dowels used in the furniture industry that have teeth on them that once pushed in, they "bite". If he wanted to be able to remove the walls for repair, he could have through drilled so he could push them up/out through the bottom.
    3) Flocking: there are cheap cardboard flocking "guns" that shoot the flocking out the end to apply it to the surface. He could have built a cardboard spray booth with a turntable...line up the walls, spray with adhesive, shoot the flocking, set aside. I've done production runs like this when I've had to paint/finish small pieces in largish quantities.
    4) 3" drywall screw: I see americans using d/w screws all the time for things like this...THIS IS WRONG...d/w screws are threaded all the way to the head and that makes it very very difficult to draw the piece tight. If you used a robertson wood screw, which has a threadless shoulder below the screw head, it would draw the piece tight and goes in MUCH easier. In fact, there are screws made specifically for MDF/LDF that have a high/lo thread tooth that bites like iron....
    I know hindsight is 20/20 and all, and he's done things I could only dream about, but in this instance, talking with a cabinet maker or carpenter would have saved him hours and hours of labour/time.....

    Adam's excitement and enthusiasm are absolutely infectious! And I share his love for organization and efficiency. Which makes me wonder since he was planning to screw the hedges down at the end and therefore would have had holes drilled into the bottom of each piece, would it have made the flocking process easier had he skewered the pieces to temporary sticks, applied the glue and then dipped the pieces in the flocking for more even coverage? Watching his videos gets all the creative corners of my mind thinking!

    At first, it's seems like "just a model of a hedge maze"...
    But Adam's explanations of the work flow, construction process, and the reasoning and discipline behind them are what I find fascinating. That's where the real craftsmanship is. Not just "look what I built", but "here's how I built it, and why". As a model railroader, I'm really enjoying this series. I think I'll be incorporating some of his processes into my future projects. Looking forward to more episodes Adam. :)

    Some people say the maze in the model and the shots of Danny are supposed to be slightly different. Also the impossible hotel layout. Its supposed to make the viewer confused that this place does not make sense and makes the viewer question the hotel itself (at least that's what i got out of it). People have gone to extreme lengths mapping everything out and found problems, the maze included. Such a great movie, more Kubrick Adam!!!

    • @Gerald5000
      @Gerald5000 10 лет назад +5

      Yeah, even things like the carpet pattern changes in the movie. All of it to make you feel uneasy and unsettled. Later in the filming, the maze maps poduced for on set filming were swapped out with new fake ones, so he even liked screwing with the crew about the confusing layouts.

    I used that Montana Black spray paint for an art project a while back, and I too loved the general experience I had with them, even coating, great colours and a matte finish (which for some reason was quite hard to find around my area, the reason I went with that particular brand). They do seem to take a bit longer to dry than other brands I've used as you noted, but so long as you plan for that I would recommend giving them a try.

      Ha ha, not the way mine looked :) I actually love architecture and was thinking about that as a career, but then I heard a story about a family friend who was an architect, but was so short on jobs due to an over saturation of the profession in his area (Germany at the time) that he went into the video game industry, eventually got headhunted, went to Australia and now works at 2k Australia after a string of now closed studios.
      That might sound like a good thing, but he says only get into games for the love of it (because the hours, pay and lack of job security aren't worth it) and never become an architect. On being an architect he describes it as the job he always wanted to do, until he realised it paid like a part-time job (he only got jobs here and there) and felt like the work of a full-time job.
      Suffice to say he had much more to say on both jobs, more or less revealing some pretty undesirable elements that I had not heard of before, on top of the ones I had. Of course he might just have been unlucky, but looking at the people taking the tertiary education required for Architectural work around Australia I suspect he probably isn't wrong on most points.

      I know personally I can't sketch out ideas on a computer, despite having used them heavily since I was very young. It just doesn't feel the same. I lack the automatic freedom of my hands, and a piece of paper. Computers are good for some highly detailed technical work, but who knows how much fudging around Adam was still doing at the stage he was drawing it out.
      You can look at a computer drawing all you want, but until you have the actual thing in front of you, it's hard to judge things as well as you can.

      RoboTekno People who are experienced doing things on paper (years of experience) can do things pretty quickly. The advantage of CAD is that you can modify things much more easily, but this is a replica of something, it's not something that needs to be constantly modified and improved. Also, it's not that complex. Adam can probably figure out the parts list in his head.
