Other Props • Re: Containment Unit Discussion & Build

While working on our ECU build together last weekend a couple of questions arose about the lower section of the unit.
Specifically around here:


We weren't sure:

• How much wider the backboard is (this shows it as a 1" space on either side)
• If the corners are actually curved, not right angles.

There are almost no shots of this in the film or in the behind the scenes photos, but stepping through it frame-by-frame we found this shot which seems to answer both questions:


So we've opted to curve all corners on our backboard, and increase the spacing on both sides of the lower curved portion:


Unfortunately there's only this one single frame which is usable on the 4K Blu-Ray, when there's bright lights to illuminate that part of the ECU, but before all the smoke appears.
This earlier frame is good but too dark to use, and at an angle which doesn't really clarify anything:
