When Adam Savage visited the production of Project Hail Mary, he stopped by the props department to check out the collection of Rocky's xenonite models that are used throughout the film. Art Director Tim Browning explains how the look and logic of these practical models were developed and shows us the progression of prototypes that led the team to the final designs.
