The opened chamber

It is an original design for a cryogenic chamber for Mr Freeze, intended for the modern Batman film series. It draws on Art Deco architecture and Neo-Noir film aesthetics to create the Batman style. The curve is made from plywood, with a pattern laser-cut into it to allow for flexibility and is attached to a frame on the inside. The curved door was made from wood, cut at precise angles, with a router-cut groove added to allow the clear plastic to slide in. The lights shine through vacuum-formed shapes, with a blue light cover on the back and frosting on the front to diffuse the lights, with access points at the top and bottom. The rest of the set utilised wood construction, painting, sculpting, moulding, casting, 3D printing, laser cutting, set dressing, graphic design, and welding. The materials used were mostly recycled, and the structure is minimal to reduce the weight and increase sustainability.
