FutureProof Studios Tour

I know what the Chinese heavy metal label said: 鳳 (Phoenix) 龍 (Dragon) 舞 (Dancing) 飛 (Flying) --------------------------- 富 (Rich) 花 (Flower) 貴 (High Rank) 開 (Blooming)

Long Wang

This was like the weirdest episode of MTV Cribs.

The walkway could definitely be used to shoot something!

Man I spit my wine out when I saw the noose lmao

What a great space both inside and out. I love that it's outside of town and you have some nature. That exterior 'walkway' is interesting. Feels like that could be incorporated into some kind of set too. Thanks for sharing!

Man you should try and meet up with Spacefillers, they are on the seatle area ! Great collision between two groundbreaking artistic project. https://spacefiller.space/

Haha, love your video's!

Me? Gosh darn, I try not to be.

Ian Hubert

What a dick.

I love your space. That is a total dream setup. Thanks for sharing!

Tyler Adams

Prob not a hot take - Am I the millionth person to say you look like a young Danny Elfman?

Tyler Adams

so the church had hot tubs?

Kathleen Judge

😯 Dude!! I am beyond jealous, your place is full of creative inspiration

You are living the life! I am happy I am able to support you a little bit.

you have your own skywalker ranch! are you planning to fill it with VFX artists for your projects?

George Castro

Ah! I'll upload one tomorrow!

Ian Hubert

Hey yeah!!! We should do a thing once it's safe!!! Dang that sounds fun.

Ian Hubert

AHHH!!! That's awesome!! Man yeah a good camera solve makes everything like magic. And cool!!! Good luck with the green screen studio! That's crazy exciting :D

Ian Hubert

I can read chinese but that didn't look like common chinese.

I'm gonna build a proper green screen studio in my friend's barn pretty soon thanks to all this, too. So many possibilities I had no idea existed until I joined this Patreon!

Kai Christensen

I JUST DID MY FIRST EVER CAMERA SOLVE WITH VIEWPORT COMPOSITING (using the uv project modifier) AND WOW THANK YOU SO MUCH I'M FREAKING OUT WITH HOW WELL IT WORKED.

Kai Christensen

I was expecting a Blair Witch-type adventure there for a second...

Doug Brown

Gotta love the notion of new miracles spawning from an old church:)

Destrier

Well, once the border opens back up anyway :(

Seth Rutledge

Dude, I so want to work with you on something at some point....Vancouver's not that far away...

Seth Rutledge

looks awsome! Thanks for sharing the BTS!

Phillip Park

Please put up a clearer picture of the Chinese sign! I'm super interested in it now!

Colin Stein

My girlfriend said the same thing! Came here to see if anyone else is asking for a clearer picture of the sign.

Colin Stein

You should totally drop a floodlight down the big hole with a motion sensor at ground level. Imagine that blasting out if you were creeping about in the trees!

Thanks for the tour Ian! Lots of cool spaces and places! Definitely looks future proof! Makes me happy I can contribute in my little patreon way!

Erich Stenzel

We've done a bit, yeah!!! Man that was actually my big thing when moving here, "we could have a MINIATURE room!" I haven't had any reason to do miniatures yet... but gosh darn I'm waiting. Or stopmotion. Just give me an excuse, haha

Ian Hubert

Aha!! It's possible!! Whereabouts did you used to live in WA?

Ian Hubert

Ahaha! I want to do something like that! I thought I'd use it in a ton of projects and so far I haven't at ALL.

Ian Hubert

lots of possibilities

A.A. Sh4d

You definitely need to composite a 1,000-foot chasm under the weird walkway

John Zwick

Love you

Pudding Motion

Thank you for the tour! you're amazing

Thanks for the tour. Makes me miss WA. I suspect your secret bunker is probably an old septic tank, but abandoned bunker is far more fun.

Your place is so amazing, I wanna cry when I see all that nature around, and all the SPACE to create wonderful things. I can't complain too much since, despite living in a city, all I see from my windows are trees, so rather cool. But it's lame by comparison...

Mornarion

Amazing Ian! What a fun space to work. Have yall experimented with miniature sets before?

Wow! Your space(s) are so great!!!

gary hardesty

the murder hole!!!

Sam Lazarus

I asked my wife to translate the Chinese sign, but it's too blurry to read (especially since the characters are a bit "fancied up" and also rather ancient)

Jan van den Hemel

That's absolutely the coolest thing I've seen in a while. I have no skills whatsoever but would love to collaborate there one day :D

Shalaha

Such a cool place you have found, Ian! Thanks for showing us. 😊 And I love the whole collaboration philosophy! I could only dream of any kind of collaboration with anyone though since I'm also isolating extra much because of medical issues that put me in a risk group, but most of all because it would be kind of one-sided since I need to develop some skills first. 😄 I have tons of crazy ideas that I want to realize though so I'm definitely working on it.

Mario Taylor

Thanks for the tour Ian.

Ah come on this hole is just one of your VFX magic tricks i won´t fall for it :-) Get it ? Fall? - Nevermind - Nice tour.

Oh man yeah, and it's one of those films where you only see like 5% of the effort they put into it, too!! Some of these bins have, like, her journals, and USER MANUALS for various props, like, the ships and the guns, and you can open them and they're full of diagrams and stuff in their special language- it's absolutely unreal. My favorite are the chocolate bars- they created custom molds to create caramel filled chocolate bars with this alien character on them, and custom wrappers and all that, then just made a pile of them. It's so cool, hahaha

Ian Hubert

Awesome. I know jealousy is a very bad thing, but I am still damn jealous you have that concert hall space. :-) I am struggling to find at least half of that size to setup my BLUE SCREEN space. It is slightly in the middle of nowhere, but as long as logistics works, why not! Awesome!

I love your attitude towards art and collaboration. My partner and I have the same goals with our company. Would be awesome to work together someday. When I originally watched Prospect I had no idea you worked on it, but my first thought on finishing was "that world building is on another level!!"

Zeke Faust

Wow, that's such a cool space! I'd like to have a place like that one day where I can build and film and just make whatever I want to, without having to worry about the neighbors complaining or calling the police. I also really like the idea of being able to collaborate with other people in a place you have complete control over. Your studio looks like it's coming along really well, Ian!

Where is the bts showing that the whole tour was really screen green screen comped with photoscans?

Mike L. Taylor

VFX work is basically all I've done for the past 15 years, lots of shorts/music videos/commercials/Microsoft gigs :) Lately because of you guys here on the Patreon I've been able to focus a ton more on random experiments/personal stuff, so thanks a ton! :D

Ian Hubert

Man yeah! Getting this place was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life (such a convoluted process- took 7 months), but I just couldn't imagine finding another place that was so perfect. And seriously- always nice to have a giant hole in your back pocket.

Ian Hubert

Do you.... do you have an actual robot band???

Ian Hubert

Haha, a little in between; we're only like 12 minutes from downtown Port Orchard, but it's a small town and we're enough in the boonies where everyone has their own weird thing in the woods going (I've met very few neighbors). Kind of a tradeoff- very cool to have the outdoors so accessible, and room for projects, but can definitely feel a little isolating at times. More friends are moving out towards this direction, though, so we'll see what the future's like!!

Ian Hubert

Dang dude nice spread. I’d love to bring me and my robot band up to play on that stage.

Seriously. This moment was just so great. You give me so much joy, Ian.

Arielvaale

What a find! So much potential, as well as what you're already doing with it, and so many interesting oddities around the place. I bet that giant hole will come in handy one day...

Arielvaale

So fuckin cool. Thank you for sharing!

Gehrig Campbell-Dempsey

I've always wondered how far out is your studio from Port Orchard? is it like behind the trees and there's like a walmart, or is it a 1 hour drive before you see the closest gas station?

Thank you for sharing. What is your day job? If you have one

Markom3D

Man yeah!!! The whole experience was so so cool. Easily the coolest film I've ever gotten to be a part of. Their sense of design/aesthetic is amazing.

Ian Hubert

Wooooo!!!!! I can't wait!! We're playing it safer than most with the virus, because Kaitlin has a complication that could be pretty gnarly, but as soon as that's over, that sounds great :D

Ian Hubert

I should have known you were on Prospect! That movie is so damn rad. I love it so much, it’s beautiful to look at. It’s influenced and inspired by all the same things that I have been so there was this perfectly Prospect shaped cradle in my brain just waiting for it to nestle in.

Mike Lea

Is it just me or does anyone find that whole complex really interesting

AND BUNKER CONDIMENTS! MY FAVORITE KIND OF CONDIMENTS.

Blake Rizzo

AH man so dang cool!

Blake Rizzo

Yep, definitely need to catch the Southworth ferry over and hang out. :)
