Star Wars Box Project Development Journal

Star Wars Box Project Intro

This was a very complex project and you can download my project journal that covers the development in depth here.

 The base brief was:

 To start with a small pine box and to construct a prop that would be of a high enough quality to fit into a scene on one of the following film franchises:

· Star Wars

· Lord of the Rings

· Harry Potter

 The box we started we started with is below. As at the time we had not been taught that a prop is defined as:

A hand held item a character interacts with

This project was restarted several times as :

· A miniature model of a spacecraft

· A miniature model of a speeder bike

· A utility droid base on B3EMO from the Star Wars Andor Series

· A stealth rebel imperial ambush limpet mine attack droid

Before settling on a:

· A portable control system that could be used for various riles such as a hacking tool, weapon s system, communications and more.

The system I build went through various designs and forms from a simple control box to an opting to dual opening with a tower, from neat corporate imperial style to a snow planet dirty worn system to the more jury rigged device that fits the outer rim outpost planets such as Tatooine.
