The Making of Conduit

Building a massive trainset in a few weeks doesn't leave a lot of time for second guessing. Luckily I was working with a small crew that were experts at making use of whatever was available. On one side of the room we had a piles of weird, old things that were donated by friends, and on the other were shelves of miniature sets and props from old stop-motion TV shows. Under the guide of Martin MacPherson, the two sides came together with grace and hot glue.

Watch the "behind the scenes roll" to find out how we did it, or check out the video.

At the start...

Here is one of the videos from our PledgeMusic fundraising campaign. It's a walkthrough of the studio at Cuppa Coffee a few days before we started filling the space with our giant trainset. I remember how large and open the space felt at the start, and how quickly we were crawling under tables and sucking in our guts to squeeze through the monstrosity of a set that it became.
