This is the most inspiring thing I've ever seen. One guy in a garage, an hour in after effects, and you created a shot you could slip right into Blade Runner.
This is exactly how old-school special effects and miniatures guys used to make models and effects for big budget movies - nothing too fancy, just lots of various junk from everyday life and bucket-loads of creativity.
Massive Blade Runner fan, this shot is better than most CGI shots these days, it feels so real, I always thought digital and practical effects would gel together, I hope there is a resurgence of practice and miniature effects in the future.
"It's little stories like that, that you want to tell, but no one will ever see them." Hilarious! This is superb and I appreciate the attention and love that was put into this. Too cool, sir. Too cool.
You know that I've reached the most awe inspiring point when I watch a master at work, and I have simultaneously the feeling of "I want to go home and practice" and "I'm out" at the same time! This was a 30 minute Masterclass!
Im obsessed with you guys! So innovative and brilliant! This is the POWER of imagination, dreams, determination. Most people complain about not having the right material, actors, money... doesn't matter.... just DO IT! There is always a way if you have the passion and imagination for it! Phenomenal job!
I edit my original comment and ending this inconsequential thread. Acting does matter and a lot. Bad vfx are tolerable, bad acting no. Second, equipment show in these video exceed the pay check of one year of salary of many actors in the world. Then, money matter to. VFX are not made of good will and are very expensive. There are nothing in this video that show lack or constrain of resources. Use of recycle materials are really common in many artistic disciplines. Last, obsessive youtubers are always suckers. Have a nice day.
@@pubdigitalix I believe what @mrKWJones meant was that not having actors (and other stuff) should not be used as an excuse. Of course acting matters but it should NOT prevent you from creating something.
@@pubdigitalix I think your getting your knickers in a twist based on a misunderstanding… The poster meant that you CAN produce SOMETHING whether or not you think you lack the means. Ingenuity, will and action will prevail whatever your means.
This is hugely inspiring. Thank you for keeping the magic of cinema alive and being willing to share all your secrets gained through what was clearly hours upon hours of hard work and trial and error. Might have to make my own miniature city now.
it really is isn't it, a dabbled all my life but now i am sat here thinking of upping my game now! i also collect interesting packaging, it's like ocd, then one day i make something and realise why i kept it! also, yes, mate do it, make one, post a video if you want, i will watch!
@@jibicusmaximus4827 I did in fact make a miniature for my film The Abduction of Nancy Watkins that you can find here on RUclips. It’s not a miniature city but was still some fun!
This is incredible, the knowledge I've gained from this half-hour video is amazing. Concise, clear, you show us the important stuff without rambling on and on, so well done. I am in the process of starting my RUclips endeavor, making short films (VERY short) of miniatures in scenes and settings, using gaming minis and terrain that I make and paint, to tell quick stories in a series. The info here has been most helpful, thank you all for making this.
I just finished my writing. I had a crazy realization that I could 3D print my landscapes and buildings, etc. AND THEN I find this video. Phenomenal. I’m gonna go watch the movie now. Just absolutely opened up more creative avenues of approach
I don't know in what playlist to put this, because the gist of it can be used for ANY visual art form where you need to make props from scratch. Amazing.
That and 'now it looks interesting'. It works for them though. After watching these diaries and the short film itself, youtube sent similar recommendations my way. I have seen bigger, independent film making blogs and professional as they may be, they very often ignore the 'now it looks interesting' bit! These Croatian guys really have something special going on!
Amazing tutorial. The first time I saw it, I was bewildered by the complexity but, this time I am impressed by the professionality and openness and generosity of your effort. Thank you very much.
Beautifully done! You let the good work, the process, and your clear description be the star of this feature without any gimmicks. I used to teach this content at a film school, and this was a real pleasure to watch. Congratulations to the whole crew.
I absolutely love your work! You guys inspired me do build some miniatures myself. The moment it gets sprayed grey is so satisfying. I could watch your videos all day long if I haven't had a thousand fibre optic cables to install as lights inside of the miniatures, lol.
It's criminal you don't have more subscribers man. Production Diary is LEGIT, that is better than my cinematography classes ever were. Well f***ing done boys!
I was with you through the model building, painting, lighting, photography, etc. Thinking, "yeah, I could do that!" Then you started compositing and playing around with all those different little controls at lighting speed and … no, I don't think I could ever hope to do that. I mean, I bet I could learn the software enough in a couple years to do that one shot with a couple weeks of endless frustration, but not with that fluency and casual ease. Yikes! Great work.
Haha thanks! Well, to be honest this video is sped up at some points to flow better. I'm definitely not that fast in real life, and if you really do learn the software for a year or two you'll be able to get great results. If you really want to learn AE head over to Video Copilot page and learn from his tutorials. You'll be the master by the end! ;)
Thank you so, so much for your release of the film (just watched, a few times, ha ha) and for this tutorial. A most informative and well explained outlay of talent. I have been following you for so many years now, and tonight was such a wonderful culmination, unexpected as well. I am sure you have created an entire generation of budding creators with your videos these past years, the love and energy of your work is palpable, and inspires. I cannot wait to see future work, you make the world a better place to be.
If you are a film maker on a budget you have to trick that guy to work for you for free, or other types of compensation that don't involve actual payment, like cheap hookers or if you're really broke, hand lotion.
"Hope You Learned Something" I learned a ton of info. Using the Cardboard box as the start, was new to me. You made it look easy, I love the practical over CGI built environment.
Miniature sets are very fascinating as there is a physical feel of shooting something real and then compositing later , its best of both worlds ! GREAT JOB
That was really informative, and very creative. I like how you made a big budget look with bits of discarded trash. I think you should be able to recycle everything and I love turning trash into treasure.
As someone who in later years has decided to turn his artistic (painting) craft towards making a film based on his paintings this has been one o& the most informative videos I have yet seen to date... I think I will be watching this often, mining it for every gem in it! Thank you 🙏
You're so right. It's like opening up a new and exciting world. Really amazing video. Thank you for such an informative and informative video. Keep up the good work and we really appreciate your dedication to the craft.
This is the most inspiring thing I've ever seen. One guy in a garage, an hour in after effects, and you created a shot you could slip right into Blade Runner.
Glad you liked it! ;)
@@sliceoflifefilm >>> Definitely impressive! 👍👍
@@sliceoflifefilmyou’re talking so fast I’m having trouble keeping up I’m trying to learn here! 🤣 jk awesome job! 🤩
There is not enough likes to like this video this is the most amazing tutorial to make a movie scene
@sliceoflifefilm Would love to see exactly how you created the ads! Amazing!
31:26 "And nobody will ever see them" perfectly describes visual effects completely.
haha, yes...
I felt it soo deep in my heart. Ye, that's true
I dissagree. Even if most people dont actually notice most small details it still makes the shot subconciously much more convincing.
I always told my clients nobody will see the details unless they're not there.
@@derPetunientopf yes! the fine details are only noticed in their absence.
This is exactly how old-school special effects and miniatures guys used to make models and effects for big budget movies - nothing too fancy, just lots of various junk from everyday life and bucket-loads of creativity.
Kinda, yeah. But before CGI, people also worked with photo film instead of After Effects.
Don’t forget optical printers! (Argggghhhh i hated working with them)
@Writer B.L. Alley Really? Wow!
Yep. Almost all models in Star Wars are kit bash models. Same thing with original Blade Runner.
@Jason Lee Barnett Oh, I agree! In-camera over CGI any day!
Massive Blade Runner fan, this shot is better than most CGI shots these days, it feels so real, I always thought digital and practical effects would gel together, I hope there is a resurgence of practice and miniature effects in the future.
Two and a half years of film school in less than 35 minutes. Well done!
that's good to know, i got no training and do similar things for fun, have done all my life in fact.
that wasn't meant to detract from this talented guy obviously, i am not a pro!
Thanks for making this 😍
"It's little stories like that, that you want to tell, but no one will ever see them." Hilarious! This is superb and I appreciate the attention and love that was put into this. Too cool, sir. Too cool.
haha thank you. yea I always feel like that when I work on details , who's gonna see that=?? :D
Yo my Cajun brother. I'm in lake Charles lol
You know that I've reached the most awe inspiring point when I watch a master at work, and I have simultaneously the feeling of "I want to go home and practice" and "I'm out" at the same time! This was a 30 minute Masterclass!
Haha, thanks a lot!!
The true genius here is how such simple concepts were combined to make this beautiful throwback. There is a bright mind behind this
Admirable. Definitivamente son unos especialistas, mis respetos.

光ファイバーを模型に走らせ固定し塗装して、その後、ファイバー先端の塗装をカッターで削って光らせる、って方法、始めて知り、とても感激しました！！
Just pure eyegasm watching all of this miniature effects, its good to have you all back again
I had no idea about the "Slice of Life". This video was fed to me by RUclips and I am happy that is was.
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!
Wow! One day I want to give this a go.
Lloyd, you're a legend!
This is without a doubt, the most fascinating video I've seen on RUclips. Thanks so much for posting it. Really inspirational stuff!

A comment like this makes us proud! ;)
I come back to this every now and then just to get inspired.
This is what is meant do be FILMMAKING. you guys should open a "Miniature Film-making Company". MfC. Just like ILM for cgi.
These miniatures are so cool! Big reason why this movie looks so good!
This video is a master class of vfx, miniatures (art's department), compositing and direction of photografy in one, thanks guys
Haha, glad you liked it!!
The Miniatures came out amazing within the film, it all looks real. Thank you for your patience and professionalism.
“This video tutorial, whatever it is”. Love it.
I love the blend between CG an miniatures. What a great way to spend lifetime to, all those little stories.

Yeah, this video had EVERY element of a great video, humour & good communication included!
I just finished my writing. I had a crazy realization that I could 3D print my landscapes and buildings, etc. AND THEN I find this video.
Phenomenal. I’m gonna go watch the movie now. Just absolutely opened up more creative avenues of approach

I don't know in what playlist to put this, because the gist of it can be used for ANY visual art form where you need to make props from scratch.
Amazing.
"I don't even know what this is, but it looks useful."
The mantra of every physical effects artist.
That and 'now it looks interesting'. It works for them though. After watching these diaries and the short film itself, youtube sent similar recommendations my way.

You are literally a wizard. Unbelievable work. I love miniature making and filming so this ticked all the boxes for me. much love
Much love to you tooooooo ;)
Has Ridley Scott seen this film using old school techniques?! I’m sure he would be impressed! 😍
Amazing tutorial. The first time I saw it, I was bewildered by the complexity but, this time I am impressed by the professionality and openness and generosity of your effort. Thank you very much.

Haha, yes primer is the best part! Good luck with fibre optics! Patient you must be! ;)
this totally saved my life. need to make a stop motion in the next few months. been scouring for some good techniques for production design. THANK YOU
It's criminal you don't have more subscribers man.
Production Diary is LEGIT, that is better than my cinematography classes ever were.
Well f***ing done boys!
Haha same here man! Learned so much on this film!
Wow! Amazing work! A glimpse into the world of miniatures. Lots of the work but the results were priceless.
❤️this is what i call passionate filmmaking
Great stuff. It’s all in the fun of letting the creation tell you what it wants to be and being patient with it. I love it.

That real-rust technique is very clever. The whole video was pretty fascinating. Thank you for sharing it.
Amazing!!!

Beyond any word! I am speechless!!!!
"Hope You Learned Something" I learned a ton of info.
Using the Cardboard box as the start, was new to me.
You made it look easy, I love the practical over CGI built environment.
Your plot element regarding the traffic and the two drivers nearly getting into a physical altercation was funny as hell. Amazing video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
"We're going to do another fog pass where we create a rain effect!"

hahaaha, very true... You have to use your imagination with that one! :D
I'm almost speechless. Inspirational stuff... thank you.
Mogao bi ovo gledati danima, Luka jel ti se da napravit ovakvu emisiju? Svaka emisija drugi kadar :D
HAhaah, dobra ideja! :D :D
Magnificent ! Old school filmmaking !
Awesome Luka! Very entertaining and engaging, as always! There are some great tips here, I look forward to using in my own work, thanks pal :D
You are welcome Russel!! Glad it was of help! ;)
Incredible how quickly the scene can come together! Thanks for the vid!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Never worked on post production so I'm getting quite an education.
The attention to detail is insane!
I open my trash can and it looks like a “miniature city” just as it is.
How generous of you to explain all this.
I actually watched this before seeing so much as the trailer for the film. Now I need to watch the film! Your work looks stunning.
Absolutely stunning work 🙌
I am in awe of your persistence and talent. Really fantastic stuff.
A very comprehensive detailed crash course! Inspired me!
Miniature sets are very fascinating as there is a physical feel of shooting something real and then compositing later , its best of both worlds ! GREAT JOB
Very interesting to see HOW this is done ... and to realize the amount of work and creativity involved !!
look how many of us you are inspiring mate, that must feel good, thanks for sharing your passion.
Can't believe I'm only seeing your channel for the first time just now. Amazing stuff.
Brilliant! You've just inspired a thousand buildings :D Thank you so much!
Stan Wilson has nothing on these guys. Love this channel leaned so much for stop motion movies I’m marking
Like two minutes in and completely sold. This is dope!
UNBELIEVABLE AMOUNT OF WORK! EXCEPTIONAL RESULTS! THIS IS CRAZY!
;) Tnx
I've never felt so unskilled in my life. This was amazing to see.
The whole time while watching this video I was like "Wow what the hell, that's freaking amazing!" You are freaking talented!
That was really informative, and very creative. I like how you made a big budget look with bits of discarded trash. I think you should be able to recycle everything and I love turning trash into treasure.
Smoke and volumetric light shafts makes everything looks like 80s retro futurism! I love it!
You have an awesome name :D :D
@@sliceoflifefilm Thank you :D
Never stop doing this
This is absolutely amazing. I am blown away.

that's beyond any short film done these past few years! really all of this is practical effect, even the rain! amazing!!!

Amazing work guy!! Keep miniatures alive!!
Beautiful!
This is the best miniature tutorial I’ve found on RUclips and I’ve been searching for so long.
Wow I am totally blown away how good you are.
you're amazing! the speed which you created this world is astounding. well done, man!!!
I didn't know you do multiple passes. EXCELLENT video!
looks like a million dollar shot. Impressive
I'm almost embarrassed that I just found this. My new favorite channel!
Weclome! ;)
Pure genius, you have the talent to see things that other can not, (incuding me).
That super glue/powder tip is worth 10 thumbs up alone! This is really informative and fun to watch.
Glad it was helpful! Its a lifesaver :D
