As part of my 14-week (Feb-May 2021) final major project at university, I needed to make a scale model for use with a motion control system I was also designing. I chose to create a model of SpaceX's Starship. I used their computer-rendered marketing material as inspiration for the shots which the rig would create using the miniature. The idea for this project came while watching a behind-the-scenes documentary of Disney’s The Mandalorian which showed the original Star Wars filmmaking technique of motion control and miniatures - before the days of advanced CGI.
