Blade Runner 2049 Dr. Ana Stelline's Hologram Controller

[Idespa]

I too listened to the Still Untitled podcast and was disappointed when Adam said it was entirely custom. I have some hopefully higher quality stills I can post tonight when I get home from work

I plan to make an accurate replica of the controller when I have time and money. But I also have an idea to construct my own that's a little less expensive and custom milled. Adam Savage said in the podcast that the character herself designed and customized certain aspects of the controller. So it's not too much of a stretch that other memory creators also do the same. And I would like to make a version just using lens and collar pieces that would be my own memory controller. It would be awesome to see others on this thread design and create their own versions as well as movie accurate replicas of the controller.

That’s a great idea

As promised, here are the images:




I am also looking into some GIFs of the motion of the device in use but those will take a little longer.

Not an easy prop to build...some details missing to make it accurate TFS those pics with us Idespa.

"10 - 30 VR"

Nikon based? They use the term "VR" for image stabilization/vibration reduction on their lenses.

Not easy at all. But that's the fun and challenge of it. And we have best people to get reference, material, and advice from on this forum. We got this.

Want. Bad.

Thanks for the pics. You posted two of the props I was thinking of after seeing the movie yesterday. I knew I saw labels/decals/stickers on the memory cylinder (that told me it was made by hand the old school way) and was trying desperately to describe the wooden box with the colored typewriter keys in another thread. Gold star for you kiddo!

I need Wallace's button box soooo bad....... wait, that didn't sound right... but you know what I mean!

There was no way that was a CGI prop, the CU's in the film were too perfect and i'd wager it would've cost more in CGI time to get it right with erratic hand movements of the actor than to just make it practically.

It looks to me to be a kit bash of old cine lens rings from different zoom lenses. The silver ring 10-30mm on one side and on the other what looks to be possibly an 18mm-300mm ring. Gonna be incredible difficult to replicate.

Definitely has Nikkor elements

It was an entirely practical functioning prop. Adam Savage has handled the device and talks about it in the recent Tested podcast. (warning - spoilers)

Sorry my post was ambiguous. I'd already read the thread confirming it was a practical prop, I was merely commenting

Wow thanks krietsch! What an awesome piece of art! Looks like the design was slightly simplified for the movie (mainly the end pieces) but the interior rings are almost exact and the general layout didn't change at all it seems

Amazing. And he's releasing more images of his work on the film on his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/design.mikehill
