Building Steps
Retro-Futurist Generator

  • Concept Art

    Created an idea for the top console using Procreate
    (what I use for all my concept art)

  • Sketch-Up

    After a concept is drawn up, I drew up some plans and elevations in sketch and colored them in Photoshop

  • CNC Machine

    Using V-Carve, I designed the top console with many holes to fit cables and lights through, and even reused the circles as buttons later on

  • Build Frame

    To help the console stand up, I needed to build a secure frame of 2” X 2” straight and angled cut wood. I then cut all the facing to what the sides required

  • Paint

    To make all the sides line up in 3D, I spray painted the sheets in a line with many layers of painters tape to keep a cubism look

  • Build Buttons

    To build the button panel, I used the CNC machine to cut out all of the small holes and I measured the distance between the board so they were all clickable

  • Decorate Interior

    For the console and many of the props in this film, I bought cheap electronics and broke them apart for their wires and circuit boards

  • Finish Electrical System

    To finish, I threw six puck lights into the generator plus different metals and textures to create a nice glossy shine interior
