The Stellar Flash Center

One of the things that has taken quite a lot of time, is setting up the ‘bridge’ of the Stellar Flash.

As many of the scenes would take place there, I wanted it to be engaging, interesting, have a number of different features and, if created into a live action video, give many people a lot to talk about.

The problem I had was that all the words to describe the white conscious connection computer panel stands were old.

Podium, lecturn, rostrum, dais. They all sounded stuffy, bureaucratic, or churchy.  Not words that really fit a futuristic space / time vessel.

After much searching, I found that there are indeed podiums that look like the computer stands in the Stellar Flash Center. Here’s one of them:

I’d say this could be used in a pilot, before we upgraded to something like this one:

(I got these images from Presentashop.com after discovering them on Pinterest. Check them out. NB: The site is in German.)

It doesn’t solve my problem with what to call them. I might just keep going with ‘white interface panel’

So, as there are a few scenes with a lot of characters gathered in the Center, I thought it best to play around with the design a bit and make sure everyone can really fit there.

Here’s a rough floor plan.

The panels are a bit too big for this picture, but you get the general idea.

Now, to somehow fit in an army of dinosauroids, a Floran, the Japanese A.I. avatar, and Admiral Heartness…
