Spaceships
Resume bullet points:
Assisted with the fabrication, commissioning, and operation of spaceships!
Hydraulic Ramp: Assisted with the installation, commissioning, and operation of the rig
CO2 Jets: Installed and operated a series of CO2 jets around the rigs during the shoot
Additional information:
Was also involved with the complete rig fabrication, this includes: fabrication of parts of the frame, mounting and plumbing the hydraulic and pneumatic systems, fabrication of an additional "camera platform", adding a shaker motor, and more - it was a really fun project!
The triple telescoping cylinders on either side of the ramp are purely for show, all the gubbins were within the walls of the ship (it was quite a tight fit)
Also have a look at the related page: Air Skates and Caster Wheels
SKILLS USED: Metal fabrication (cutting, grinding, turning, milling, MIG welding), pneumatics, and hydraulics
Not the guy with the fire here - I was behind the ship running the CO2.
Just don't blink.
A good looking ramp, mighty fine green legs, and a little CO2.
Again, just don't blink.
Fun Fact: They used the same ship (with the back removed) for Rogue One. I was only on that project for the first week of the shoot - filling in time between projects but it was nice to see the ship again.
