  • The pinnacle of modelmaking for film is on display at Prop Store as we check out miniatures used for the making of Star Wars, Star Trek, Back to the Future, and Alien. These models, created at all different scales, show the kitbashing, scratch building, and fine detailing techniques used by teams of talented modelmakers from studios like ILM's modelshop. And the flagship piece from the Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction is the full Nostromo ship from Alien, an incredible prop that's more of a bigature than miniature.

    • @hypercube33
      @hypercube33 3 роки тому +1

      Its still probably smaller and less detailed than the Enterprise-D or Enterprise-E models that were made for filming. The E alone makes CGI look like garbage since its one of the last big budget scifi physical models made I think and they had a huge need to get extremely close up to it for the hull-walk scene in First Contact

    • @mikeoliver6742
      @mikeoliver6742 3 роки тому

      @@hypercube33 That's correct. The Enterprise-E hero model is like 9 or ten feet long and they did indeed shoot the background plate for the zoom in on Picard, Worf, and the Redshirt walking on the engineering hull using the model. ILM had suffered through most of the other Star Trek movies' Enterprise and Enterprise-A shenanigans and made the best, toughest model they could because they thought it would be used for another four or five films, and the first thing they did for Star Trek Insurrection was digitize it.

    I don't understand why these pieces aren't going into proper art museums. Just because these were made as part of the entertainment industry doesn't change the fact that they are substantial works of culture and art with a huge impact. It's a shame they're being auctioned into private collections instead of being on permanent display where everyone can enjoy them for centuries to come.

    • @ZakTheFallen
      @ZakTheFallen 3 роки тому +1

      Considering how many museums and businesses are struggling to survive during the pandemic, I can understand if they're forced to do auctions in order to keep going. Especially the ones that relied on income from public attendance. This happens a lot during periods of economic crisis in the past too. A ton of artifacts were auctioned off following the events of both world wars. Some were later donated back to the museums or purchased, but sometimes these items are never seen again.
