As impressive as the star ceiling is, I am more impressed by your wife’s patience. WOW! Another great example of how not to be afraid to try something you don’t know, I am sure many will now be inspired to give lighting effects a go, they can truly transform a normal room into a work of art.
Thanks for the kind words Mick. Her fiery Italian blood is not usually known for patience but she is a saint to let me do all of these crazy things. Won’t be long now and the room will be complete!
@@BuildMontage I gn moví
Tony's dad is the coolest!
Just love the star ceiling man - so, so cool!
Absolutely amazing! I am definitely going to do this for my gaming room!
This was a labour of love. Nicely done, mate! 👍👍
That’s sooo pleasing to look at, totally worth the work
Ambiance, I love this word. A lightning is capable of doing wonders to an environment❣️
This is amazing! Well done Tony and family 👍
This project is sooooo cool!
I'm trying to recreate this in my bedroom as I always dreamt of something like this!
Tony and his beautiful family.... Love and respect thier patience for our crazy brain thinks new ideas everyday .. Great dad reapect sir...
I Love it ✨🪐💫✨ Looks Amazing brilliant idea with the magnetic ceiling. Thank you for sharing & God Bless🕊
Most people start the video with the shining side. I appreciate you starting the video with the challenges you faced!
Haha yeah well I kinda had to do it that way to show the reality of the project.
Wow i always wanted a star ceiling for my HT but it was super expensive trying to get someone to come over and do it. Or i couldnt figured out how to do it my self. Thank you so much in posting this video it really help me figure out how to do it.
Ty, inspiring in a way that could be life changing. Attention to details. ..
Amazing vibe and video. Ty
Looks great! Congratulations!!!

Man Tony, your star ceiling turned out fantastic!! Great job, looks like all the hard work paid off. 😀
Thanks guys... its been an epic project over the last 3 months thats for sure!
This ceiling is amazing!!! Amazing!!!
I've been waiting for this.. thank u so much
Here’s some love from the US! Great video Tony (loved the intro too). Glad it all worked out. Looks awesome
Youthman thanks Michael, was a long project around 3 months start to finish. And yes my wife has the patience of a saint 😂 (from the intro!)
Nice work. All the effort resulted in an impressive result.
The hard work paid off. Turned out very nice Tony. And congrats on another top video!!
Thanks Paul 👍

Awesome job! Thanks for sharing, keep up with the great videos ☺️
Thank you! Will do!
great job & great explanation of each and every step, a huge THANK YOU
Thanks John! It was a labour of love that’s for sure :)
man, very creative, very inspiring. Thank you for your video
Looks awesome! I've been wanting to do this for awhile but settled for an all blk wall and created a long narrow panel across the top of the wall with some fairy lights flickering, budget but still had the effect. It's my bedroom/snack bar/home theatre in 1 but I keep thinking if I panel the whole ceiling it will feel too dense in the day. Enjoyed your vid anyway. Hopefully I'll make a decision soon! I love watching home theatre DIYs.. they're just cool :)
I've been wanting to do this in my Man Cave. This video definitely gave me the confidence to finally do it. Thanks for uploading!
That’s great!! I hope you do!
Glad to see names of light motor. Didn't know what to call it. Looks great Tony.
I linked them in the description as well. Very affordable and produce a great result.
Very impressive. Looks great. Excellent trick with the hot knife. 😉. What a genius.
HAHAHAHA!!! Yep we didn't record the one we did together so lucky I had two more panels to do it with :)
That looks amazing
Love it!!! Thx for sharing
Fantastic video Tony...well done on a great job!! The amount of thought and hard work that you and your family put into this is amazing. The end result is super impressive and inspiring! And thanks for the all the details!
Now you just need to mass market these lol
Haha it’s too much for me lol! Someone out there will no doubt! Was a super fun project though for everyone involved. Thanks Jase :)
@@BuildMontage th-cam.com/video/HwVF4EctaD8/w-d-xo.html
I was curious how you did this with your finished ceiling and now I know! This gives me I inspiration for my room! My overhead speakers will be in the bulkhead like your. Brilliant!
“Why did you let go?”
“I didn’t”
Had me cracking up
U can do it. Maybe I need to fly over and help you! Yeah poor Mim... felt bad lol
Mate this is off the chart theatre room stuff. Amazing how it’s turned out mate congratulations. As much as a pain in ass it would of been to do you must be so happy proud of the turn out. Must of been a big learning of do’s and dont’s and do next times. You could probs do installs for people now👍. Thank you so much for showing us it’s brilliant. Love the first bit of the video. So funny 🤣.
Thanks Brad - there were times I questioned why I was doing it LOL!
Awesome video, definitely learning something new here thanks for the content!👍
Awesome, thank you!
Amazing work Tony!
Thanks Oskar! Appreciate your support
Tony,
Used your video to do the exact same at ours and it came up nicely. In Aus so used the acoustic pinboard from Bunnings, the same size magnets and even the Chinley system.
Really loved your video - literally lit up our theatre. It worked so well.
Thats awesome! Do you have any pictures you can send me? Hit me up on social media (facebook or instagram) I'd love to see the result.
Thanks a lot for the inspiration! I followed your ideas and set up a starlight ceiling in my theatre!!! Came out awesome!!!
Love to see how it turned out. Why not join our discord server so you can share some photos? Links are in the description and I have a channel set up just for star ceilings!
@@BuildMontage just joined! I’ll share some pics/videos
I saw. I tagged you in a post and also linked the channel to post in.
I can’t wait till this video
You don’t have to - it’s live!
They were waiting for the premiere. I did a live premier of it. Should have delayed it 2 hours :(
Great job Tony, these acoustic panels immediately caught my eye when I was in Bunnings. The use of the white marker paint is a great idea. Thank you.
HAHA Yep, seems lots of people having the same idea... you can screw them in as well - i used magnets just to see how it worked, and it keeps the boards tight - screws will make a pin cushion effect.
I don't see the link for the boards unless it's the high end screens for the projectors. I've got to do this now!
No links for the boards is intentional. If your in Australia you can find them from Bunnings. Reach out if u get stuck!!
How would I look it up in the states? Acoustic material maybe?
Same question, for us here in the United States. Not sure what to search for.
Excellent project Tony, looks great
Thanks mate :)
Love your videos
Love it!
Great job .
This is sick!!!!
can't wait to get it done at my place
Thank you for the help Sir., I'm trying to make for my place.
Looks fantastic!
Thank you!
Love it, its inspiring me to do the same in my room, now I have template to follow, many thanks from a fellow addict in Texas.
Feel free to join my discord server and shout out if you have any questions
@@BuildMontage I’m going to have to hold off for a few months... but this just made the list. We are mid re-model on the whole house (her projects) and I just bought two Rythmik FV18s to round out the movie rooms speakers. Have to pace myself!
Love it--well done! 😊
Thank you! 😊
Really awesome job bro.. congrats 👌👌👌
Can't wait either
Super cool i gonna do that someday thanks
This video is the best diy for this project
This is SO Amazing! I definately want to try this for my kids room!
I love this in my theater room. It's very relaxing!
@@BuildMontage I saw another video where someone built a frame, stretched the fabric on the frame while on the floor and then set the frame to the ceiling with strong hooks (obv he connected all the fibers first).
Do you see any problem in doing that?
@@shanibouskila6868 of course. Many many ways to do it. The light engines I linked are perfect for your setup though if you struggle to find something suitable.
Hey mate Iv just completed a star ceiling in my daughters bedroom and I used a lot of tips I picked up from your vid. Turned out great Cheers
That’s awesome!! Glad to hear it turned out well :) I still have mine going like a champ!
Great video ⚡️
Great job on your star ceiling! Looks awesome in your room. Hard work paid off😆😆👏👏
Awesome my next project
Thanks dear friend
Watching this right now, soooo cool! That star ceiling truly looks amazing, great work Tony.
Thanks Barrett! Appreciate it
@@BuildMontage When that panel fell though, I cringed. Glad that there wasn't too much damage! This video was a long time coming, you did an amazing job on the ceiling and the video brother!
Very nice job 👌
I really like how to put this together. I think I will put fiber optics in my media room as well based on good yours looks.
Awesome!
So much work!!! You have more patience than me!!
Once we started we were committed. The project took around 3 months start to finish.
@@BuildMontage WOW!!! My hat is off to you my friend!!
Awesome build. My father and I are almost done with ours. I'll send you pics and vids when done. Thanks the great ideas.
Awesome please do!
All done with the build. How would I let you see it. Email?
Easiest way to share is via my Discord server. The link is in the description. You join and you can share the pics with me
Thanks, man LOVE FROM INDIA
Thanks Doc!
That intro! Looks amazing Tony, well done.
Yeah it’s cringeworthy that intro. Looks better in person. Can’t quite capture it on film. But thanks :)
Awesome video mate
Thanks for the visit
Wow nice
As we get older more child like we become he hee > ITS YOUR HOUSE DO IT THE WAY THAT PLEASES YOU! What i do! I'am the one that lives in it. AWESOME I'am doing strip lights and title ! OMG I LOVE TITLE ! its got the look of Italian marble and the feel of marble. Got every counter done in title, even window seals in title . The strip light bring the house out of darkness and hidden things. That needs to be showed off. it show the color of my log cabin logs> ITS Gorgeous inside 👀 The looks of the Italian marble title really sets it off 👍
Ha! Many times like the first 10 seconds in my basement build... it happens 😉 looks awesome bud
Haha yep I had to include it. It was a heart stopping moment but we learnt from it and keep going! It’s all done now :) Thanks Kyle
It's help me lots ❤️
Thanks
Gotta throw Star Wars on the big screen after this. Well done. 😎
Absolutely!
Or just constant warp speed 7 loops
great
that is amazing
Thank you! Was a fun project :)
Great work!! It looks great. I have an AC vent right bang in the middle!! Wondering how I can overcome that challenge!! I will post it in discord as well..
Awesome addition, I love that it is an acoustic treatment too!! Great job man.
I'm sure you didn't have grey hairs in your beard before the second panel fell down though.... :D
Haha yep, it was a pivotal moment for sure. I’m also slightly thinning on top now. I hope no one noticed!
@@BuildMontage I am too, are you trying to up sell merch, "James, you need a BM cap to hide that receding line" 😂
Well done tony. That looks great!!!! I wish I could do a star ceiling. I’m just not sure I can with my ceiling.
It would be a challenge with your vaulted ceilings. I wonder if you could though....
Great work. I'm in the process of repainting the interior of our home and will do this in our theater when finished. Where did you source the acoustic boards for the ceiling? Thanks for the great how to!
From Bunnings in Australia - not sure of where u are located?
Whewwww yessir you guys are amazing #🙏🏿🙏🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿😁💜💜🗣️❤️❤️👐🏿🕯️📢📢📢🧩🧩🧩🎉 love everyone 🙏🏿🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒🆒

Correct me if I'm wrong - The fibers and light that spins is what's giving the irregular flashing of the stars? I'm thinking of doing this only without the fibers to make the project easier. So all the stars in this case will light at the same time.
Question about RGBIC lights. You show 3 GOVEE lights. Whats the difference. They seem to have like 6 which are all confusing. Obviously want the BEST, So which to get?
Good idea budro. Looks good. FanDamnTastic really.. ton of work.. I have got to talk to you about this my friend..
it looks great super great i want to build one in my small HT but i got a very bright lighted room i am afraid when the light are on the panels wont look that great whats your advice ? please answer .
It looks better with the lights off definitely.
Great video!! Thank you so much for sharing. I subbed to your channel, great info for home cinema enthusiasts. This video gives me confidence to build my own star ceiling. Those Chinly light units are a very good choice I think. It's perfect that you can connect a couple of them and synchronise them as a group. A question: When you have to do it all again, would you still use hot glue? I've read that silicone kit is the way to go. That way you don't risk damaging the fibre optic strands with the heat gun.
Thanks for watching - and yes, that would be a great option over a heat gun/hot glue - we didnt damage many if any fibers, but it would have been better for that as I know some people have tried and damaged their fibers.. The CHINLY engines I linked are fantastic for the price and performance. I have 3 all synchronised perfectly and they give great light.
Good luck with your project.
@@BuildMontage Thank you so much. One last question, what length did you choose for the strands of the 3 units? I can pick 3 meters or 4.
@@Tomberland84 I chose 4m but it will depend on your dimensions of the star ceiling and where you wish to place the light engines.
@@BuildMontage My room has about the same dimensions as yours so I think 4 meters will be the best for me also. Thanks again. See you in the next video
Great job. My height speakers won’t allow me to use the same acoustic panels, but this has given me some ideas. 🙌🏻
You could cut holes for the speakers and build a grille for the star points. I would have done that but in my room I already had the speakers in the bulkhead and they aim down to the main seat so I didnt need to do that.
@@BuildMontage I didn’t think of that. Do you have a link to the acoustic panels you used for this?
They are from Bunnings - acoustic pinboard. I think it u Google that I will find them!
@@BuildMontage I’ll have to see where I can get something like that here in the US. 👍
Thanks for the video. The star ceiling looks awesome.
Did you need 1 power outlet for each panel or only 1 for all three panels?
Thanks, and I had 3 separate power points for each unit. But all on the same circuit.
I just installed my star ceiling by following your video! Great job. Have you been able to connect the star ceiling to your Harmony Elite? The app is a little spotty with connection
Hi Chris! You have to join on my Discord server and share some pics with me - I'd love to see how it turned out!! And No I haven't actually been able to as it's Bluetooth and runs from the app - the App works fine for me so far - ive not had to reset the engines even ones. Hope to hear back from you.
Excellent video & awesome finish.
You have given me the inspiration to do this myself.
I have one question/ concern, how hot do the light engines get up there in the ceiling void?
Would I have to remove a lot of ceiling insulation/create some sort of ventilation for the engines?
Awesome! I didn’t have to remove much at all. They have been going great for a couple years now!
Hey Tony, one more question.
So I have the exact chinly led engines as yourself. To shorten the fiber cable,
I'm trying to remove the very end of the fiber connector that holds all of the fibers together.
How the hell do you get if off....it seems glued in.
Isn't it supposed to be reconnected to the cable after length adjustment.
Your help advice would be very much appreciated as I don't want to cause any damage tying to remove it.
Thanks
Hey Tony, this looks really awesome. Thinking to apply star ceiling for my new home. Does any instruction given to builder while building the home ??? Thanks...
Lots of things but a long list to say here. Jump on my Discord and we can chat
Do you know where you could pick up the acoustic panels in the Uk? Can’t find anywhere
Amazing, great work. Thanks for sharing your project in detail.
Can you please tell me what black colour paint you used for the walls, Thanks in advance
Thank you :) Sure the colour for the theater room is Taubmans Black Fox - which is a matte finish.
So JB Weld Original is strong enough for the magnets? How much did the panel weigh.
Hey amazing work! Just wondering if you drilled the ceiling channels into the studs or avoided the studs? I'm worried if I try using a hollow wall anchor in the stud it'll split the stud itself
I didnt intentionally avoid the studs but it just turned out that way. I dont think it will matter too much if you just drill straight into the stud with a screw.

Tony, impressive work! It looks awesome, I actually decided to undertake the project after watching your video as it had much nice details and you guys made it so entertaining to watch!
Question, I got the same engine but it seems that the strands can’t be removed from the coupler to group them, resize (with the hot knife) and joint together back to the coupler as you did, how did you do it? Thanks in advance!
Hey Sonia, great comment.
I also have the same light engine & can’t remove the strands from the coupler head. Could I ask how you managed to do this yourself without damaging anything?
I can't seem to find the instructions/answer anywhere about how to remove it & reattach it again. Your advice would be awesome. Thanks
What dimensions are your starlight accoustic pannels, Iv added the chinly light source to wish list . The issue I have is I have a load bearing beam across middle of room left to right as you sit facing screen . I'll probably need 2 chinlys ? The beam hangs down so not recessed.
Sure they are 2440mm x 1660mm. I have 3 in total.
@@BuildMontage thankyou mines probably about half vertical wise about same as yours width I'd get two in the space I'm thinking. Do you recommend particular accoustic pannels , I'd like it dual purpose noise reduction and for starlight
Want to ask I was think about doing this with a carpet do you think stepping on it even if I cut it as short as I can do you think it could work
I personally wouldn’t as u would either prick your feet or push the divers through.
Tony, excellent how to DYI a star ceiling. Was it easier to use 3 light engines versus 1 & do you remember how deep you made your tray ceiling. I am framing mine now & the only issue so far is finding the acoustic pin board sheets in California that are not a crazy price. The ones you used, is it cork board with felt over them?
I have full acoustic pinboard, not layered, and i think 3 light engines made it easier to mount as I could do one panel at a time. Good luck with your project!
Hi Tony, amazing project and I loved how transparent you were regarding the whole process. I’m about to endeavour to do this myself.
I watched the whole video but you didn’t mention the size/area you were covering and I’m trying to work out if I will need more than 1,000 optic strands for the size of room I intend to install.
Could you please tell me the dimensions you covered and if you used all of the 1,000 lights you purchased ?
Would really appreciate a response. Thank you 😊
Thanks for the message and good luck with your project. My room dimensions are 3.6m wide and 4.6m deep but I have 400mm bulkhead all the way around so its more like 3.2m wide but 4.2m long. Not sure if you need imperial measurements but you can Google convert them if necessary. 1000 stars worked out for my room really well.
That’s a really great help, thank you so much!
