A map for my inner child

Building a map of New York City for my studio. Most of the supplies from Home Depot, electronics from amazon, print from fedex. Hope you guys enjoy, excited to make movies with this!
Big thanks to Matt Courson for helping film and hopping in the video. Please update your phone.

a perfect movie

[@stevennyang9304]

He gives me a Casey vibe

[@cubingbuzz1]

Casey!

[@rossfrasermclean8860]

Agreed !

[@jackhudson21]

the reward for good work is more work

[@connorscortex]

How, can you roast one of my videos Casey? Also I was thinking about how you often wear sunglasses, is it because you always knew your future would be bright?

[@michaelkerkhofs7536]

I made a similar map of the city I lived in for 10 years (Ghent, Belgium). No movie locations unfortunately but all deeply personal locations (place I got married, favourite bars, park where we finally caught a pikachu in the summer of 2016, …). Memories

[@tasty_fish]

I'm making a similar map of my own personal locations on Google Maps for my kids (though doubt they'll ever bother looking at it!)

[@georgeh5075]

That's so adorable

[@ninjastorm6627]

That pikachu thing hit me hard wow

[@nurailidepaepe2783]

[@sonosus]

This appeared in my reccomendations... Then I read it in Tom's newsletter... Then I clicked! What amazing production quality for such a small channel.

[@HalfAsleepChris]

Whoa this incredible, great work

[@thefog13]

HE WOKE UP! HE WOKE UP!

[@chicagotypewriter2094]

Should’ve expected Half Asleep Chris would love this!

[@CheerfulSpider]

This is new in a way I haven't seen on KZbin in years. Well done. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

[@CaseMorton]

This is fantastic! Would listen to an hour long podcast of all the intricacies of how you made this and decided on the locations.

[@JordanStuddard]

Appreciate it! Good to know someone appreciates it. might start a patreon someday for a bunch of the behind the scenes stuff

[@CaseMorton]

@@JordanStuddard man I'd gladly sub to that patreon. Even if you just shot a single take casual walkthrough and explanation of the details it'd be riveting. I love getting to understand other people's creative process.

[@MarRange]

@@JordanStuddard and a kickstarter to sell these "maps"

[@MonkeyJedi99]

@@JordanStuddard Great way to store a big table in a small space! Respect.

[@jeckert547]

Tom Scott’s newsletter brought me here. This was great!

[@LifeOfRiza]

That ending pay off!

[@bricksanddisorder]

We need one of these of London ASAP! 🙌🏻🙌🏾

[@unconcernedsalad2]

can we hold you to that? 😂

[@theSoundCarddatabase]

The minimalist "Philip Glass"-like score really is the cherry on top ;) Nice video.

[@jakobbierbaumer6472]

i wonder where he got it from 🤔

[@GameRevo]

Charming. The map itself is great but I especially love that representation of your Texas home surrounded by NY skyscrapers. I love the circular way the story all ties together - you grew up watching films set in NY which frequently used massive maps as props. Then, you moved to NY and visited the locations to make them tangible and real, and then you went and made the maps real as well. Lovely wee film.

[@andresjoberg]

This little movie has it *all*: the topic, the story, the edit, the acting, the practical build, the locations - Working on my own channel this is the quality I strive for. And *God* I wish I was back in New York, such good memories of living and working there over 20 years ago :) Thank you sir for making a great video :)

[@GabrielDeSanti]

this build up was epic. ending was PERFECT

[@MaxwellNichols]

the low-angle of the miniature skyscrapers is so good. iphone frame within frame works surprisingly well too

[@MachineRight]

The timing of this video was inspiring and engaging! Every shot just enough but not too much to tell each part of the scene which is challenging for a build video and then you tie it all together. Don't think I've ever seen a video on KZbin that did this as perfect as you have. 👏👏👏👏

[@FamousFig]

most would have focused on the build of the map, but you found a creative way to share the WHY

[@michelveraliot]

as someone fascinated by new york since childhood, and making new york in 3D i really apreciate your work and talent to make something beautiful in term of videography and in term of making a really cool map that my inner child will also buy

[@theamazingsparky1711]

Definitely found my new favorite youtuber. Your videos so far are incredible!

[@cinemavanya]

Stumbled across your channel awhile ago. Decided to give it a go today. Your videos are so good, man! I've actually haven't seen anything like this for a long long time! I'm filmmaker myself and been struggling with will to work and create lately. Your movies just relight something inside me, I'm telling you. Thank you so much and all the luck in the future! Subscribed, gonna be waiting for your next film!

Love this one, Jordan.

[@HenryBelcaster]

YES!! 🗺

[@tasty_fish]

Absolutely love maps, absolutely love THIS map!

[@NiceHyper01]

This was actually such a good watch. Awesome video.

[@mustaphography]

One of the most creative videos Ive seen in a long time ♥️

[@WonderAboutUs]

I absolutely love that you used real lightbulbs, not LEDs.

[@JordanStuddard]

I have to say, I did end up using led bulbs but bought four different brands at first to find ones that looked as natural as possible. I then lightly sanded the acrylic bulb of each one for a softer glow. leds last so much longer and with this many bulbs I didn't want to have to worry about changing them all out. also they burn cooler, so less of a fire hazard than traditional bulbs. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DW4Q45G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
