£60K Home Cinema in a luxury villa
Timelapse video showing the transformation of a basement into a home cinema. This Art deco style home theater took about 4 weeks to install, but our time-lapse shows the whole process in just a few minutes. We think it's the best home cinema timelapse on youtube. We hope that this film will help with Art Deco home cinema ideas and provide inspiration on how to build a bespoke cinema room. The room has a 7:2:2 Dolby Atmos speaker configuration, with hidden speakers and acoustic treatments throughout. The 4K projector is a JVC- DLA-N5 with motorised zoom, focus and lens shift plus lens memories and a 2.35:1 acoustically transparent projection screen. Absolutely everything is controlled from an in wall touch screen and also from the client's iphone. This includes control of the fibre optic star ceiling from www.starscape.co.uk and the colour changing led strip lighting. The budget for a similar home theatre room transformation would be about $85000 US including design work, seats ,4K projector, Dolby Atmos sound , acoustic treatments and RGBW LED lighting. The interior design includes bespoke laser cut gold columns which house some of the speakers and also some of the acoustic treatments. The commentary on the film includes lots of detail about how and why certain design decisions were made and we hope it will provide inspiration to anyone wanting to build a Cinema or media room. The project took place in a stunning villa on the French Riviera – The finished home cinema room is about 6 metres from front to back and slightly over 4 metres wide. Seating was supplied by Home Cinema Modules.
The ceiling is so short but the star nights totally save the day and make it look like you are watching movie outdoor.
This guy – “Its a thousand miles away”
Everyone in Australia – “just up the road then” ??
Sydney Drums Very true ( for Australia ) but in the case of our project, for us France is a different country with a different language. We are un-familiar with the local suppliers of materials and local manufacturers etc so we had to make sure that we took with us more or less everything which would be needed and a lot of it was bespoke. And was custom made in advance. We made one journey there with a van and everything needed to be on that van. If we had had to make a 2nd trip with the van that would have had a major impact on timescale and project costs So logistically it was a much bigger challenge than our usual projects in the U.K.
Not too far off from what I’d want my home to look like one day. Hopefully, when I do have a big enough home and the money, costs will go down and quality will go up. Still wonderful as is.
Been a year since your last upload. Wanted to say that we miss seeing you guys and hope you have something to share soon.
Thanks and take care!
Would you be willing to come overseas? Haha, great work, one of my dreams is to have one of these in my home.
What an amazing transformation! ⭐️
Outstanding!!!
I really enjoy these time-lapse installations…especially when you narrator. Please continue sharing these.
Questions: What is the width of the screen (not diagonal)? What is the distance from the screen to the front of the first row of chairs?
I’d really appreciate understanding how you attach those fabric panels to the walls. *Thanks* !
Beautiful work here, please share more.
More questions: What are the mouldings made from? What wood is used for the panels? What was the screed and fabric placed under the carpet? Thanks
Thanks for your feedback and questions.
The width of the image area of the screen is 3353 mm the distance from the eyes of a person in the front row to the screen would be about 3157mm
The way the fabric panels are held in place is as follows:
We used mouldings at the top and bottom of each wall like skirting boards. These were battened away from the walls And the panels fitted into the spaces behind the mouldings so the panels can be lifted out for maintenance. The mouldings hold them in place. Hope that makes sense.
Hello… *hoping for a new video soon* . This one was so spectacular, we’re all anxious for more!
Hope you’re well & safe!
@UK Home Cinemas Totally understood. I really think your business is going to see huge growth soon, with many people looking to create superior home environments going forward. It might not be dedicated theaters, but really nice home entertainment spaces.
I have shared the video link.
I checked and you have really nice tags for it. I would suggest adding some hashtags in your description (you can add up to three). #HomeTheater #DolbyAtmos and maybe the currently highly promoted #MoviesTogether, maybe?
While you’re stuck at home, you can be active on your Channel’s “Community” tab, posting questions, pictures, short videos, and polls (“Which is your favorite home theater video of ours?”) to stay active with your >35k subs who, like me, are anxiously looking for content to interact with while we’re all secluded.
Or do a YouTube live event (announce it ahead of time in your community tab) where you talk about different gear and take questions from the viewers – I’m always interested in different projectors, processors, the speakers you use, how to build and install the fabric walls to hide speakers and acoustical treatment, etc.
I always say, people don’t do business with you for two reasons:
1). People don’t know you.
2). People don’t remember you.
Live-streaming, community chat, etc. will definitely help you with #2 for all those subscribed to your channel. And using hashtags, normal tags, catchy title, and eye-grabbing thumbnails will help with #1.
Thanks for your reply. Best wishes to you and much success once all this is behind us. Remember: #YouGotThis
Thanks, we are stuck at home with lots of fairly modest projects on hold. Hope you are well too. We don’t currently have anything in progress which would make a good film, but once we have something which is suitable we will certainly record it. Please feel free to share a link to this one if you liked it . I have to admit we were hoping it’s views would take off faster than they have, as it’s better than some of our other films which have been viewed a lot more. 🙂
Beautifully done, Richard and Chris. It reminds me very much of the Stanley Theater in Jersey City, New Jersey which was from the 1920’s and was opulent and had a starry ceiling. Well done! (Ana, your cousin John’s wife ?).
Hi Ana. Thanks and really glad you like it- hope to see you sometime soon – Richard
Absolutely magnificent and extremely well narrated.
Many thanks Don glad you enjoyed it.
amazing designs, great work..
Hello, do you all do work in the US? Also, what seats did you all use for this job?
You guys are awesome ??
Awesomely Tacky! I love it!
Well, my immediate first impressions is WOW, Gaudy with the satin red panels and Gold trim. As long as the clients are happy then that’s all that matters 🙂 Personal taste…
Thanks , yes it is quite a statement , but when its placed in the context of the fairly minimalist and very tasteful villa I think it really works , because you walk into that room and bang it blows your socks off.
Fantastic job guys- and thanks for posting! My home theatre consists of matte black walls and black carpet- floating screen effect for ‘optimal’ viewing. But I must admit it’s really boring and blah when the lights are up. Your room just looks like great fun to sit in- and enhance the true ‘theatre’ experience. Cheers from Canada ??
Thanks so much – We love Canada ( Did the RV over the rockies a couple of years ago ) – Fab
More videos please!
Wouldnt mind the drive home 85k richer lol . Really nice work ??
Yes we do lots of projects in that price range. Mainly by using more modest equipment and not making big changes to the look of the room. (Also not supplying seats but using seats which the customer may already have).
UK Home Cinemas does 20-25k get anything worth having? Or is it not worth doing unless going all out?
That would be great (if we could get all the equipment and labour for free) Thanks though and glad you liked it 🙂
Beautiful work, turned out amazing…
As soon as I win the lottery, I’m giving you guys a call.
Congratulations! You just won our lottery of 5 dollars
Us too.
@goodcat1982 it’s called labor and the fact that they have employees and pay taxes. Say they charge 65k, they have at least 3 people working that need to get paid, they have their vehicles, their insurance, the depreciation on their tools…. then they have to pay about 30% in taxes.
Nothing about this is worth 65k!! You would just be letting them mug you off…
Mohammed Azeez not gonna happen lol
