Motorized and Illuminated Orrery With Radio Remote Control For the Pilot Episode of the TV Series BEYOND

1/16/2017

This prop featured radio remote control of the sun's brightness and variable speed control of the planets in orbit. This assignment, was the result of a terrific collaboration between the Art, Camera, and Prop departments… each having their own specific requirements for this prop.

A motorized model of the solar system—designed to appear as built by a gifted 12 year old.

I recorded all the dialogue for Continuum. I'm pretty sure my boom operator Chris Lee took that prop home after the set dec sale.

You may be mistaken Mark. I built this item for the TV series BEYOND. Thanks for reaching out though.
