Star Wars Hologram Prop Build

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 มิ.ย. 2021
- Star Wars Hologram Projectors are everywhere in a galaxy far far away. We first see one from R2D2 in the iconic scene where Leia let's old Kenobi that he is her only hope. It's a common form of communication and we thought it was about time we built a proper version for ourselves!

Wow. I love the aesthetics of that build especially. It has the feel of the black box that's survived a disaster in space, carrying a last holochron message. I can picture a captain's blue ghostly image asking the finder of the box to tell his family he loved them and then flickering away.
Thank you! I love that you can see a story in the build, that's awesome!
@@TheSmugglersRoom my first thought is a emergency transmitter. Converted to a mobile long range comms unit. So that the communications problem at scarring can be avoided. It even has scomp adaptor for connecting to a droid or computer terminal.
I know the feeling of giving up when things just aren't going right with a project and appreciate the honesty of ... even for those that know what they are doing ... it isn't always as "easy" as it looks after the edit! Well done and glad you didn't give up!!
Amen my friend. I think no matter your skill level you are likely to run into challenges of all shapes and sizes. At the end of the day you just keep going and hopefully enjoy the process!
i have just got back into making models after 20 odd years, i hade the same thing! but i went back to it! NEVER GIVE UP, NEVER SURRENDER!
@@phrixos2826 Yep! I fail all the time on my channel ... it's just "nice" to see that it isn't JUST me ;) !
The force is strong with your channel..thanks
My goodness. The amount of people bothered by the lack of the hologram. He titled it "prop build". How would he even make a hologram??
It's a cool prop, and a lot of great kitbash ideas. Keep up the good work, mate!
THANK YOU!!! We have been surprised by the angry and in some cases hateful comments. But you know what? . . . you rock and we totally appreciate you and others that enjoyed the build!
@@TheSmugglersRoom It's obvious how much passion you guys put into these builds, and it's infectious. Don't worry about the haters, the number of fans that enjoy this well outnumbers them.
You guys are the ones who rock, can't wait to see what more you have in mind.
Super cool! I come here not only for the creative build ideas, but for the booster shot of positivity and optimism that helps immunize me from the drudge grind at work each week. Thanks Brian for what you give us!
LOL!!! So happy to be your provider "Happy Booster". Thank you very much!
Beautiful work.
Thank you
Dude. DUDE!!!!! So impressive.
LOL! Thanks Man! Really appreciate it!
Add a transparent LCD panel over the lens and a tilted acrylic sheet to make a Pepper's Ghost display!
Good lord this channel just gets bigger and bigger
Thank you! We are trying!
Screen worthy. Awsome
Thank you very much!
Always love your vids! Can't wait to see how the Mandos turn out! I just joined the Mandalorian Mercs a couple months ago, and I'm eyeballs deep in my build! You guys inspired me to actually take the challenge of sewing my own soft parts...first time ever sewing a garment! Loving every minute of it! Thank you guys for all the inspiration!
That's so awesome Tyler! So exciting that you are making your own costume from scratch! Sorry we haven't gotten back to it, but I promise we will soon!
cool, i would love to see you do an entire video tutorial on weathering.
Glad you like it!
We can certainly do that! Our Droid L3-FTY needs a makeover! LOL
i will look foward to it
Excellent work!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you
Glad you stayed with it . Its hard when so much is going on to finish a project. I bet when you got past the programming of the lights you where excited because the hard part was done . Only saying that because programming is like school work you can't avoid it and its makes you want to scream . But when its done you take that big breath and go out side and you are free .
LOL, I must be one of those weird people, cause the programming was the easy part of this one for me 🤣. But I totally understand what you’re saying. Thanks for watching
@@TheSmugglersRoom Oh poop ha ha ha bib I put my foot in mouth or what . Sorry . I started programming about 6 months ago its like home work but I feel better when I see progress. I'm am very glad you where able to explain. THANK YOU AND KEEP CREATING !
Another great video! Good to see more projects coming together, and perfect to wake up to over my morning coffee. Thanks for sharing this project!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it!
This is so cool!
thanks a bunch!
Ich bin total beeindruckt, was man mit etwas Hirn so cooles bauen kann. ;-) Macht weiter so.....
Ich danke dir sehr!
So excited I just signed up for the blue squares. I can't wait lmao
That's brilliant dude. Love how it turned out and it'll look great in the room.
Thanks a ton!
That looks amazing! Your channel is highly inspirational !
fantastic, that is what we are aiming for!!!
I am stund with the ideas and creative on the projects that you come up with. It's so inspiring Brian and influenced my father and myself to build some things. Thank you very much for doing what you do and sharing your passion and experience with us.
Thank you so much Keith! This is so great to hear. So happy you and your father are building together, I know personally how wonderful that is!
glad to have your videos back what a great build!!!
Thank you! We are glad to be back at it!
Beautiful work God
Bless
Thank you! You too!
So much cool, love the Harbor Freight box conversion. This is why we watch. Thank you!!
Glad you liked it! Really appreciate it!
A truly wondrous piece. well done.
Thank you Wayne! Really appreciate that!
As always, so awesome and inspiring!
Thank you, and thank you for watching!
It’s absolutely amazing. 😮
Thank you!

Great to hear we could help! Thank you!
Gorgeous build as always! Great idea with that box!
Thank you! 😊
Another work of Art!!!!! Love your builds!
Thank you.
Amazing prop, Brian! Well done! Thanks a lot for share! Best regards from Brasil!🇧🇷
Thank you for watching!!!
Well done. That is beautiful.
Thank you!!
Another amazing build!!
Thank you Zak! Glad you liked it!
This turned out great! Thanks Brian!
Thank you Gage!!!
I love all your projects man, this looks awesome! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!
Probably one of the coolest things I’ve seen on this channel! Thanks for sharing this!
Wow, thanks! We really appreciate that!
Epic build bro. These are my fav kind of prop builds, noting significant to the story but part of the universe that could be anywhere.
Thank you! It is our favorite kind too!
Great video. Beautiful shots, well explained. Very motivating. The build is super cool. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Nicely done, so looking forward to seeing those other projects getting finished as well
Me too! Thanks Barry
I don't know how or why anyone ( let alone 32 at time) could dislike this video...dont be discouraged ! you build great stuff..and encourage others with every video! Keep'em comin
Thank you Craig. You know, we aren’t sure either, but we really don’t care. There are so many awesome people like you that enjoy what we are doing and at the end of the day, that is what matters to us. Thank you for watching!
Love it total new direction and another build to add to the history of the Smugglers Room Brian. Keep at it!
Thank you Miguel! We appreciate you!
It's really? I can't believe this. If you done 👍👍 respect
Personally I enjoy these "small" builds more than big room build ones just because they inspire me to start making myself. Big projects can be intimidating, but this is perfect to get that feeling of achievement.
Thank you for the feedback, i completely understand that. I like the smaller projects too for much of the same reason. Glad we could do this one and that it gets you excited to build!
Beautiful project! 👏👏 You never stop to amaze me 😉👍
Thank you so much!
Pretty slick, thanks for sharing.
No problem 👍
Awesome build!
I saw the updates through Instagram and FB...the images were breathtaking and I was like "Oh, holograms...that's a thing now for DIY...?" Yet again, I am like some builders are crazy ahead of the DIY curve and you are among them. I really liked the walkthrough of the cables and Arduino function.
Awesome! Thank you! Really appreciate you Garland!
Wow! Another great build Brian! You make such enjoyable videos!
So much appreciated my friend!
Another awesome build, I so look forward to your videos.
Glad you like them! We really appreciate it!
I'm glad you did this , I'm hoping to be able to do this level of stuff one day . Thanks for the immense inspiration. 👍👍👍👍😁😁😁
Thank you! If I can do it so can you!
That is quite the work of art. Your attention to detail and ability is amazing. One thing I might note. I understand that this contraption is supposed to have that 'used' look, but the camera lens itself looks absolutely filthy. Of all the parts of a hologram unit, the lens should be kept pristine to make it look convincing. I know it's tough to find a good one and it's great that your friends helped out. Again, wonderful work! I wish you all the best.
.
Thank you. yeah, I wanted that lens as dirty as the rest of it! LOL
I wish I could get my hands on all those CRT monitors and TV's that I took out in the bush and shot at....I cringe when I think of all the parts and pieces I could have used. Awesome Prop and very inspiring! Great Job!
Oh no!!!! Bummer man. Never shoot an unarmed CRT part! 🤣
@@TheSmugglersRoom BAHAHAH! We were uninformed youth!!
Love your vids, absolutely inspiring
Thank you!
Brian. That's GORGEOUS.
Thank you Mark!!!
Oh my....spectacular, awesome, super cool!!! Oh yes I want one!!!!! Brian, academy award for this build, weeeeeeeee
You're awesome! Thank You!
wow that is fantastic great work
Thank you very much!
Yet another EPIC build, Bryan, Thank you so much for sharing this :) Fist bumps from Canada
Glad you enjoyed it!
Awesome!
Thanks!!!
This looks awesome keep up the amazing work
Thank you!
Fantastic job my friend!👏👏👏👏👏👏‼️‼️‼️😉👍
Thank you bro!!! Much appreciated
Another amazing build, Bryan!
Really appreciate it
Amazing project brother!! Love the greeblies!! Just awsome!!
Thank you Ron!
Apache storage boxes from Harbor Freight is actually what is used for set dressing in the entry queue in Smugglers Run at Galaxy’s Edge.
totally!
This is Awesomeness hands down. Like it's from The Mandalorian movie 🎥. You can see that you. Put a lot of time to detail.
Thank you for posting this video 📹. Keep up the great work 💪..
Thank you!!!
Great stuff !
Thanks!
What the.... it looks like a company in the star wars universe built this for mass production. Its insanely good 😮
thank you so much!
Absolutely Bad ass! Recently discovered your channel and I'm learning and applying many new things to the stuff I am working on. Thank you! Super professional work with your videos and builds. I'm shocked you don't have more views!
Thank you much for saying, we really appreciate it!
Outstanding!!!
Thank you sir!
Looks good
I love this project! I'm so glad you didn't shelve it. Thanks for sharing an awesome build.
You are so welcome!
This is so cool! Omg
Thank you!
Brilliant!!
Thank you
Tremendous project outstandingly executed! But I SOOOO wanted to clean that lens!
LOL!!! So, i'll tell you something. This lens has been through some stuff, and there was so much dust up inside. The biggest issue is that I could not take it apart without damaging it. Trust me, the dust inside was driving me insane! Apparently this specific lens from the factory was sealed in a way that there was no mechanical connection that would release it so I could clean it. I even went as far as researching the manufacture and going through old install manuals. no luck. If these are damaged in the field (when they were still used that is) you had to replace the entire board. Crazy huh?
@@TheSmugglersRoom I’m glad we can both embrace our OCD tendencies! Again, the project detail and execution blew me away! The Force is strong with you!
Wow complimenti sei davvero bravo 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
That is a pretty cool screen-worthy prop sir, well done.
Thank you
Just awesomeness brother.
Thank you very much man!
3:29 my hats off to whoever edited this. The way those switch clicks lined up perfectly with the music... mwah. Loved it.
That would be my wonderful wife Carissa. She says “thank you very much!”
@@TheSmugglersRoom Guessing she either has some music or dance experience? Because that’s something only a person with rhythm would do.
Love how detailed your tutorials are.
This is my second video, 1st was the Star Wars Trash Compactor Book Nook I was recommended by TH-cam after seeing Norm's Star Wars Corridors Book Nook... I don't understand why it took TH-cam so long to recommend your channel based on all the Book Nook & Diorama videos I watch & channels I'm subscribed to. FYI... NEW SUBSCRIBER!!!! ;)
Thank you so much! Happy to have you here!
I do have to admit I'm not a big Star Wars fan but but but I love your videos they're quite informative and I do do props myself more on post-apocalyptic and the knowledge that I've learned from you guys really up to my prop so keep them coming you doing a great job and I do have a couple Star War trinkets stay safe my friends
Thank you so much Paul. This kind of feedback is amazing for us. Really appreciate you watching and the support!
The laser cut panels/Acrylic totally makes these projects.
Right? It almost feels like cheating, but it really does make the project what it is. Appreciate you watching!
Very nice
Thank you!
Looks amazing! You could even spice this up with laser engraved acrylic functioning as the hologram
Thank you. Yeah, that would be cool!
You got me with the Ron Cobb tshirt. Subbed.
LOL! Thank you!!!
All your lighting and wall accessories could you easily remove in large panels to put up in a new bigger longer building depending on what your going for starship or settlement
Well done sir it was worth the headache lol!!
Thank you my friend!
Another really great prop and video! Your detailing and weathering are superb on this build. :) Keep up the good work! P.S. - I like the background music choices a lot... :D
Thank you very much!
Cool😎👍 for prop LEDs use white light just use colored lenses for best results ie. Blue's.
Dope!!!❤
It looks amazing , I would have made the entire box black with silver dry brush though , theatres just me though
They have black versions of this box. For some reason I was really digging the orange one. Thanks
Side lit acrylic could imitate the projection
Loved it!! I might would have added a small speaker just for looks, but hey, it's great as is
Thank you! Yeah, a speaker with bluetooth capabilities would be sweet!
New subscriber! Great Stuff my friend!!
Very much appreciated! Welcome!
You could get various characters printed in some color tinted clear resin for the holograms.
Totally!
Nice build, looks my my summer project. Question: would this set-up work with a direct feed from a low-def video camera using, like rca red and yellow cables?
I really need to get on the ball with electronics. And that case is sweet! I’ll bet I can find one at the army surplus
Thanks. Yeah, electronics, even simple, can make your project pretty awesome. I found this case at harbor freight pretty cheap.
@@TheSmugglersRoom dude! Nice heads up. HF has got the cargo for cheap! Lol
This video had my head spinning as the led programming software is super similar to my own last name. And it was said correctly. Lol
LOL! Awesome!
Great project! How does the image get projected onto the blue light? Looks great!
great Job Brian! I would probably adding edge lighting the lexan sheet in the lid.
Thank you! I am 100% with you, and I debated that over and over again. At the end, I just didn't want to deal with the wiring between the lid and the base of the box. I think i was just being lazy! LOL
@@TheSmugglersRoom True, the wiring could be quite vulnerable.
@@TheSmugglersRoom I agree, sometimes you (I/we) need to reign yourself in to stop a 1 day build becoming too complicated.
3:51 nice faucet strainer lol
Its amazing how well typical everyday cheap parts were (and still are) used to make amazing looking props for the Star Wars universe.
Boom! You nailed it. It’s crazy right?
