Heeey! Not to pat our own backs or anything, but this turned out soo damn cool. Hope you enjoyed it! :D
If you're interested in our awesome new alchemaker merch, check out: nerdforge.store !
Have a great day everyone
I think you're allowed to be proud of that lmao
Absolutely love when you create models for the bookshelf!
You have mistake. The other balls don't have fire.
I love all your videos and I love your hair I do all sorts of different colors
Next infinite portal ?
Can we just appreciate how many different skill sets and talents she has? Creative design, a magician's knowledge of visual illusions, construction, creating those textures with just cardboard and paint, circuitry, teaching on camera in an entertaining way and she's running a business too-- brava!
That's all I kept thinking about. This has really inspired me to just give up.
@@magnetictheory Don't think about the competition out there. Just do what you do and keep getting better at it. She's extremely good at what she does but she didn't get there overnight.
@@jonsimon5779 Something I can relate to in different ways of talent. I am telling you, I never was open minded as a child, but when I got older I realized I wanted to know more about how things work and how its made. I see that she is very open minded like me and expanding your knowledge of the things you find interesting and willing to do so, it is part of the adrenaline. She inspires me because of her unique side of talent and personality. Watching these videos really help relieve my artist block.
Plus maintaining that dump truck is another skill I'd say.
Yep! She’s crazy talented! But, did you notice that she has one really short finger?
MARTINA THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE COOLEST THINGS YOU'VE EVER MADE
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Absolutely Amazing Martina
I have a cousin named Martina
@green mayo man🇺🇦 the person that made the thing in the video
Exactly what I came here to say. So small, yet so super cool
Seriously impressed with the attention to detail - the end result is just perfect!
Yes, its awesome.
hello there :>
That is incredible!
You're a maker, so you probably already know this, but;
For cardboard (or any paper product) wood glue is amazing. I tried superglue on corrugated cardboard once and had the same experience you did 😆
U?
Here?
Whoa, didn't know atomic shrimp watches nerdforge as well! :D
Now imagine how cool it would be with a life sized version placed into a wall.
Ok now I can’t sleep until I see this in person that would be insane
High key want that in my room but I’ll scare myself at night
@@korettopun1203 worth it
Need a life sized iphone to make the flames look real 🤣
@@tearsofawaterfall2656 like a tv :)
You have literally outdone yourself this is SO COOL
Thank you, Martina! :D
You literally wrote a comment, then I literally read it and literally replied to it.
@@remlya #Martinaception
This is WAAAAY better then the Harry Potter one... Loved it... Never knew science could meet art...
My thoughts exactly!!!
Martina complaining about superglue is the most relatable thing. I once accidentally superglued the tube of superglue to the carpet in my craft room when I dropped it because I had superglued my fingers together because the tube exploded for no reason. I feel your pain.
Trying having to unsuperflue a toddler you are babysitting because his mom left a tube out where only a toddler could find it
@@stephanierebel-energyinflu7389 Ok you win. 😂
@@stephanierebel-energyinflu7389 OK that sounds like a nightmare.
What the Hell! What was the mother thinking? That is kinda dangerous, depending on what the kid glues.
My sincere sympathy.
One time a tube exploded in my hand when I was squeezing it out, my hand was stuck as a fist for a few hours
@Zayalla Fantasy You are probably right. Kids get in places that even cats don't dare to go. She probably left it in some place safe but the kid stars screaming and when she gets back it's gone or she just forgot.
Life, normal stuff, happens every time, (it happens to me every hour and I don't have kids, just a cat that gets in everything!).
This is easily the most incredible infinite mirror object I've ever seen.
The added peppers ghost effect on top of what the mirror is already doing really tricks your brain in a most profound way. You should build a USB charger into the side so you can keep your phone plugged into it at all times you're not using it.
If Hogwarts had art classes :
they would suck like most of the other classes... sadly
It'd probably be way easier than the muggle world 😂
“Hello children, today we are gonna be making an entire real world scale Hogwarts made out of chopsticks” (read this with McGonagall’s voice lol)
That would be horrible, just imagine that you spend the entire session painting the perfect person just to have him run out of the painting just before you turn in your assignment.
@@christianbay7614 at what point do the people in the painting actually start moving tho?
I’ve been working in miniatures for over 20 years and this is one of the coolest, most inventive things I’ve ever seen. Oh yeah.... I’m making one for my Granddaughters castle. Thank you !!!
Now I wish I was your grand daughter 😭
@@malihakarim944 Awwww! Let me finish the one for my granddaughter and we’ll see what I can do for you: 😁
I’ve learned that one of life’s greatest blessings is to grow old enough to have Grandkids so you can spoil them rotten then send them home to their parents. 😂
This was awesome, didn't it? Do you have a RUclips channel or Facebook where will you post your work? I'd like to make one for myself, yeah I'm that selfish 😄. Your granddaughter will be delighted for sure 👌
I want to be your grand child now XD. I would love to follow you and see your work if possible. Also will be spoiling my grand kids too haha
Definitely reply with your social media info please!!!! I want to check out all the awesomeness!!!
Most people would use the infinity effect on just the lights and nothing else. You took it up a notch twice by (1) focusing the infinity effect on the books and shelves, and (2) super imposing torch fire as part of its own effect. Outstanding and original; you nailed it perfectly! 😍 👍 Next project: make it life-sized.
I thought is was going to be lifesized🤣.
But this really looks amazing.❤
It looks so good I'm actually worried about the open flames next to all those old texts. Great project and amazing execution.
that thought crossed my mind too.. 😄
Could be magical flames! The wonders of fantasy
I am speechless
Maxence !! XD hello you awesome person ✨✨
19:23 and beyond
How satisfying 😍😍😍
So are there going to be instructions for this masterpiece? Because A) I need it B) My dad needs it and C) I need it.
This is by far the greatest work of art I have witnessed on RUclips.
Yes, what Serena said!! WE NEED DIZ!!
Holy shit this is amazing. It looks like something you'd find in a wizard's library. You would be drawn in after a quick glance and then you'd look closer and see there's a something truly magical afoot in the bookshelf and marvel and wonder at this hidden and whimsical mystery you just found
I seriously can't decide which is greater - your imagination, your skills, or your enthusiasm for your work. Fantastic build!
I kinda wanna visit your house JUST to see all this cool stuff you've built. This turned out freaking AMAZING! When the camera was close up, I felt like I could walk in and look through the ancient books on the shelves! You really know how to capture fantasy.
Ok, as if everything wasn't cool enough to begin with, adding the flames using an old theater trick not only looked beyond amazing, but got me so freaking excited!
Now, if only we could find a way to use something so you wouldn't need to use your phone...
raspberry pi zero and a cheap 20 dollar lcd kit would do this just fine
maybe buy another super cheap phone?
@@abhinaglapura5995 Something tells me this IS her other (OLD) phone, destined for the trash but repurposed. Does that mean it's just going to play a video forevermore? It also means she needs to string a usb cable to it to continuously charge it. And if you string one cable...then you might as well get wallpower to the LED's as well. Martina this is a wallwart connected to a AA battery shell that fits into a battery pack but provides continuous DC power. www.amazon.de/-/en/Battery-adapter-batteries-battery-accessories/dp/B083DGQDFV/ref=sr_1_6
ahem *fire*
@@Sarge92 Probably the best suggestion, also would use less power then most phones.
This may be my favorite project of yours. The infinity effect, the lighting, and to top it all off the flame effect. The sense of magic and wonder this inspires is outstanding.
TOO COOOL! I freakin love your book nook projects, and while diagon alley was amazing, this is a new level of witchcraft!!!! And the flames!!! That animation just brought it to an untoppable level of cool. Seriously. With all these projects you've got customizing your stuff, your place will be an an unmatchable level of amazing
Thank you so much! :D
You know what would be cool to add to it? Some windows with a thunderstorm and rain effect. Maybe an actual ghost (or two) on the phone that fades in and out and they are moving around.
This is so impressive and I'm sure a lot of us have old phones and tablets that are now too slow to be useful. Well a use has just appeared and its as a peppers ghost machine. There's so much you could do with this in that bookshelf format. Absolutely inspiring and it turned out 100 times better than I thought it would.
This video changed my life. I saw this video numerous times and now I cannot stop making miniatures. I have made this little library four times since then. The way you explain everything makes it so easy to follow. Thank you for your amazing content, @Nerdforge
Holy GRIMOIRE Tome's in a Ancient library, It looks absolutely Tremendous!! I totally love how it came out in the end. It looks so magically real. Keep up the great work Nerdforge. :)
It’s official. You’re a wizard and you won’t convince me otherwise, Martina.
This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen! That ghost technique is awesome
what she said. coolest things I’ve ever!
Pepper's ghost is used in Disney's Haunted Mansion attraction.
RUclips just dropped this channel in my feed and I'm SO happy they did. I've been binge-watching for a while and I'm friggin speechless. Her work is beyond compare but this piece! The visual illusion just blew my mind......simply incredible. Thank you💜
Me too
i’m so glad this video came up in my recommended. you are so unbelievably talented! this was amazing to watch you construct, you definitely gained a new subscriber!
Thank you so much!!
I would love to see nerdforge do a project with Adam Savage. I think it would be an awesome project and an awesome video.
If you can convince him, we're down ;)
A collab with Black Magic Crafts would be AMAZING
also simone giertz, plus she works with adam savage XD
A collaboration made in nerd heaven 😍
I’m staring at the final results, catching my mouth agape.
This has a feeling of childlike wonder💜
How can I not be impressed.
Just saw this, and it's amazing.
Only thing I was thinking though was how cool it'd be if you added a switch to the doors, so the effect turned on whenever the doors were opened and turned off when they shut.
That turned out sweeeet! Love how you mixed the new infinity mirror effect. With the old school stage effect. That puts it over the top. This rocks!
Thanks so much!!
I might be sensitive but literally shed a couple tears, lol. This is beyond beautiful, it's freaking magical.
I'm a long time lurker and I honestly don't know how I missed this but omfg it's so cool! I absolutely love everything you make and your excitement when everything comes together is frigging contagious! I'm sure I'm not the only one smiling like crazy when seeing how happy & excited you are as you unveil the finished piece.
Martina: THIS BOARD ISN'T STRAIGHT!!!
Me: Relatable.
I don't know how I got here, but wow, that's something special! I got chills watching the final results.. 👍
"Let's get down to business.."
Me: Sophie don't do it, don't do it
My Brain: TO DEFEAT THE HUNS!!! 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Yep...me too 😅
Same
Did they send me cardboard but not hot glue guns?
Every time
🤣🤣🤣
19:45 I'm actually amazed that depth-of-field from the camera lens works on something like this. You'd think the focus point can't really go past the mirror, yet it does seem to focus on the furthest reflections :o
I think that was a manual focus pull.
Fun fact: Pepper's Ghost is actually used in the ballroom scene at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion ride!!!
I love this!!! I've got to make one of these for my own library!!!🔥📚🔥
Those crafty ghost hitch hikers!
I KNOW! That ride was exactly what i was thinking of when she brought that thing up! But i STILL dont get how they do that illusion in such a big space with people dancing XD
@@damotoneko1500 just absolutely massive panes of glass.
@@MCDreng I wish i could see how that works :D
Look for the cobwebs in the corner...years ago someone threw something and cracked the glass. So instead of replacing they covered it up.
This feels like a spell the librarian of Hogwarts would cast to trap anyone using the space after working hours, make it infinite so even if the person immediately decides to get out, they can't. Amazing work!
This is THE coolest book nook. You've successfully made an entrance into another world. I am so blown away.
It looks really cool! You've inspired me to craft again lol
the library inside your bookshelf has got to be one of the most incredible things you have ever made!
i've defenitely never seen anything more charming than this work. I've got a feeling that i'm gonna see every single one of your videos.
Mom: "Wow, she really works fast!"
Me: "That's speeded up footage, Mom."
Your English teacher: "That's *sped* up footage."
The joke --- / you \ -->
@@mattcoalman No one missed the joke, well except for you of course.
This is the COOLEST thing you've ever made, holy crap, I love it SO much!!! When I was a kid I would position my grandparents bathroom mirrors on their cabinet to face each other, it was one of those ones with 3 mirror.. doors? and I would peek through the crack at the middle one and stare at the infinity hallways. This is SOOOO much cooler! Amazing job!!!
Lmao I remember doing that too. I spent what felt like hours just staring at myself lol
Great work as usual and presentation. I really dig the music, Many presenters fail to see importance of choosing good music! 🙂 It completes the viewing experience!
This project came out really awesome. The only things I would have done differently is to run the flame from an Arduino powered screen and I would have possibly added a usb charging board and 18650 battery pack so it could be portable or plugged in.
Just enchanting! But also inspiring-me being of (ahem) a slightly older age, l would adore to create a wardrobe leading to the snowy world of Narnia! The lamp, and the infinity of the forest! Will have to look into the original drawings. Thank you for the magic.
Yes. The RUclips recommendation Gods have blessed me today. Only a few minutes in I can already tell I’ll probably be binge watching for the foreseeable future C:
imagine being a little mouse and coming across this
MY LIBRARY NOW!
play moss on psvr😉
How bout ants
Now the ghost mice have something to read! Finally!
**Squeaks cuteley** Ma'am, can I please live here?
I've built miniatures for probably two of your lifetimes, and this is one of the coolest builds I have seen. You are an absolute genius! I had to subscribe to your channel just to see what you'll pull off next time around. I am also amazed at how clean and neat you keep your work area.
Everytime you make a video I think "this is the coolest thing ever!!"
And then... You make another video :D
This is one of my favorites of your projects! The library looks like a tiny magical world :D
Seriously amazing!
Added ideas, not sure if anyone else has mentioned these already:
Swap out battery pack toggle switch with a contact switch that works with the doors opening and closing.
Though the flames are really cool, they might become an absent problem when upgrading your phone, or when you don't want to keep a video of random flames in your phone's library.
Perhaps a dedicated, small LED screen (found on digital photo frames) could be used instead?
These are typically not expensive, can play videos from a dedicated SD card and could potentially be included in the Battery pack circuitry.
Or have a separate circuit as these tend to have dedicated battery power sources as well and don't necessarily require a power outlet, which would keep the entire unit completely mobile.
If I hadn't watched her make this, and saw this in person, I would not hesitate to call it magic. So cool.
This is straight up insane. The video thumbnail alone looked cool enough, but the actual end result is next level!!
This is the most intriguing book nook I hve seen. I wish you had spent just a few more minutes explaining the configuration of the mirrors and the glass...
The pepper’s ghost effect really takes this to the next level and makes it amazing!!
This is just absolutely brilliant. I am totally serious when I say it is arguably one of the best crafting results I have ever seen. The Pepper’s ghost effect took it to a whole other level.
This is *amazing*. But even when it's "fire" next to "books", it makes me twitchy. Very well done.
Oh. My. God. That is so so so cool. The flaming orbs elevated it from awesome to epic.
The fire feature is amazing. Great work. When you upgrade your
Phone you Can leave that phone in a the nook.
The torch effects absolutely brought this to LIFE!! How amazing!!
Maybe this is the most beautiful thing I´ve ever seen. Thank you for doing it.
The "Ghost Flames" effect is fantastic. I would never have thought of it. I really enjoy your videos.
Imagine getting lost in this library. And someone is following you. You are lost and can't find the team you were going with. You escape with teh clues and hints. While spooky sounds and bats are everywhere.
I think this is officially the coolest thing I have ever seen.
Like not even the coolest on youtube, just the coolest ever.
Love love love this video! I feel like it’s something I can actually recreate myself, I’m crafty but not good with the electronics you use, this feels like such an accessible option. Thanks Martina! Love your guys channel, keep it coming!
Phenomenal use for an old phone that's just sitting around. Beautiful.
Wow, so totally cool, and the overlay of fire is the perfect touch. Great job Martina.
Thank you, Dawn! 😄
Kinda looks like some giant who's collecting these things, or a wizard who's turned these into smaller versions so it's easier to take with him and/or keep around
It really does.
@Kip Hert I am so confused
OMG THIS IS SOO FRICKIN COOL
reminds me of hogwarts and narnia
I love how you talk about the idea and bringing it to life. As someone once said...
"If you can dream it, you can do it."
-Walt Disney
I am awestruck with the end result. Thank you so much for sharing! I love learning about these kinds of effects and the art!
Awestruck at the final reveal!
just imagine a life size version of this little infinity library!!!
Every librarian ever, “...infinity on a bookshelf, is the definition of a library “!
your soldering is so clean and tidy, i could watch you solder all day oh my gooood
I was looking for a diy fire infinity effect and stumbled upon this. I loved it and then you said “Pepper’s Ghost” and my brain exploded. I’ve been wanting to make a pepper’s Ghost illusion for years. Honestly, this is one of the most incredible projects I’ve ever seen. Just outstanding.
Quite possibly your best yet, I love the burning torches.
I have to say. This is one of the BEST builds I have EVER seen on RUclips! Amazing!
That’s just fantastic. The stuff dreams are made of. I can just feel how much imagination decor like this could inspire- especially in young ones ❤️
This is ridiculously cool! I'd want to put something like this in one of my bookshelves, but I'm still dealing with the "I don't have enough bookshelves for the books I have so the ones I have are all full" thing. I'll have to save this video so when I DO get enough bookshelves, I can do something like this!
The secret is that there are never enough bookshelves regardless of how many you have, so you might as well go ahead and do this now. It doesn't take up that much space. :)
@@BrooksMoses True.
This left me speechless. Somehow, someway, you guys seem to always out-do yourselves with every new project. The most deserving of praise and reward for efforts, genius, and ingenuity.
Don't ever stop those amazing minds from creating magic!
This art is going to be worth millions one day! Incredible how talented people can be.
You earned my subscription with just one video. I came here from searching infinity mirror and found a winner. What I was looking for was a way to insert a long road in a tunnel portal in the Model RR I'm building. Now I can make it a road through a crystal cave. I'm working in "N" scale 1:160 so not a lot of space or material.
Mahalo.
Amazing. I love how you use simple materials to create something amazing.
Everytime someone says "let's get down to business" I can only sing TO DEFEAT THE HUNS
Why, please explain ?
@@AKaq-iv3nt it's part of the lyrics of a song from the1998's Mulan!
I would love a whole wardrobe like this! A standing one and when you open it the entire thing is a library portal like this. 😍
pls do a step by step for thisss with all the dimentions techniquesss
I'm a follower of Smoe and saw you on his collab project. Your vision for art and ability to translate your ideas through your hands into something material is hands-down amazing. I'd definitely buy this piece if it was able to fit an oudated Samsung Galaxy S5. Lol. I instantly thought of Harry Potter at the reveal and then finally noticed the collection beside it. You have a new subscriber. Great work and look forward to binge watching the rest of your content.
Just drawing and coloring a bookcase is a pain in the a**. You did AMAZING!
I am always amazed at the detail these pieces have 🥰 also, it's always weirdly satisfying to see the safety equipment
I subbed when she threw the cardboard across the room LMAO
The one relatable moment in Martina's wizardry.
This is absolutely amazing from beginning to end. The attention to detail is just insane and the work and skill...phenomenal.
Excellent idea to use a reflection of an animation on your phone! Good thing you got a good selection of books to keep you busy while the phone is burning.
Cheers!
this is so freaking cool!!! The fire effect was truly one of the most mesmerizing things I have ever seen. This makes me wanna own a bookshelf and make such cool things to put into it! Great job guys
This is literally the best thing I have ever seen and I must have one. It will probably take my clumsy hands 1000 tries, but if I get anywhere close to this result it will be well worth it. Thank you for making these videos!
In reality this 'ghost library' must be even more impressive. Because here in the video we only see it 2dimensional because the video is 2dimensional. But in real the infinite-mirrors make a depth-effect which are suggesting, that the ghost library goes through the wall seemingly indefinete.
Amazing !
This absolutely makes me want to make something like this *so badly*! I've been wanting to make one for a while but I couldn't figure out the techniques to create the infinite mirror effect!
