EPIC Storm Diorama - With Flashing Lightning!

[@BillMakingStuff]

First!

[@Geordiecrafts]

I've been watching your stuff for a while! Absolutely love your work!!

[@DarkMatters96]

Please don't tell me you're an animator in addition to being a crafter, artist, 3D modeller, woodworker, electrician and whatnot... My god, Geordie, you are the literal impersonation of Talent & Skill. Can't help admiring you and your artworks! ❤️

[@Gokou3036]

The variety of skills in this build is impressive

[@Jalin3516]

Madness. How does this channel not have more Subscribers??

[@tapa5602]

I am here before you get a million subscribers, super talented.

[@Geordiecrafts]

Haha thank you! I don't think I'll ever get there, but it would be amazing if I did!

[@KnarbMakes]

Flippin epic Geordie! Love the feet on the base. The whole piece is really dark and moody.

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks Knarb! 😊

[@goforitpainting]

I'm watching it for the second time today and I like everything more and more...

[@sammimadanat9693]

WOW! I love that whole scene stuck in a cloche! You can just switch it on and watch the scene as it unfolds, again and again and again and again.....

[@carlkedge4245]

Wow this diorama is amazing. Never seen anything like this before. Love all the lighting effects and the details in such a small diorama is outstanding.

[@richardhaensch6677]

The light show was simply amazing, what a great effect

[@isaac879]

You did a kraken job on this piece!

[@DECODEDVFX]

This was really great. The opening animation looked awesome too.

[@TheParkAttendant]

My skill level is no were near yours. It's still fun to watch. A very good build.

[@ThomasHodson]

that's just an insane number of skills and techniques demonstrated in one project

[@lejaune711]

one of the best and most moody, epic, awesome, diorama i have ever seen.

[@iout]

I love the use of animation and 3d graphics. Combined with the little flourishes, it really elevates the video as a whole.

[@diy_wizard]

Indeed!!! I love this too, it is so fresh and cool!

[@cerisekappes580]

WOW!!! Amazing diorama with incredible details!!!

[@JasonM69]

That turned out great! Also, it started raining here as the video was ending.

[@brock5604]

We love you!! Please stay inspired!

[@hhype]

Fantastic. I really appreciate the story in the sculpture. The lighting multiplies the drama and is really well done.

[@RealTerrainHobbies]

Wow, that is an incredibly effective and gorgeous lightning effect in those clouds! Well done on this one!!

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks so much! I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out on this one! And thanks for dropping by little channel too 😊😊

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

An amazing variety of techniques on display here, fantastic results!

[@stu3379]

Epic Creativity! Was absolutely engrossed in your process. Can't wait to see more!

[@chrisantzaras]

I was not expecting the final result to be so amazing. This is perfection.

[@Daydam]

That project is AMAZING! The whole LED work for the storm makes everything look even more incredible. I really should learn how to work with arduinos and LEDs, it would be reaaaally useful for a diorama I'm planning for the future.

[@mightbemonsters]

Tree SO SMOL!!! I'm loving it!

[@RM-vw3ov]

Your animation at the beginning is off the hook! Wow!! And the project? Creative, dynamic and original!!!

[@ChrispyP]

Geordie, this is incredible and I was so excited to see another upload from you. The sheer amount of skills you demonstrate in your videos is mind-blowing! Is there anything you can't do?! 😂

[@forgingaheadinart]

I wholeheartedly agree!! Someone with this kind of talent should have way more subs!! I’ll be sharing and shouting from the mountain tops!! Figuratively speaking!!

[@peterkenealy8182]

Super high quality video! The lightning down the tentacle is an awesome touch

[@williamdesabielenki3427]

Fantástico! Uma das melhores obras desse tipo que já vi! Parabéns!

[@JasonYadlovski]

Such a cool project! Thanks so much for the mention, I appreciate it! Keep on making the awesome videos on your channel! 😁👍

[@Geordiecrafts]

Ah thanks for checking it out! and for all your amazing educational content! I've learned a tonne of davinci tricks and techniquse from you over the last two years :)

[@JasonYadlovski]

@@Geordiecrafts Awesome! Thank you for checking out my channel! Glad it was helpful. 😁👍

[@unclejacksimulations9423]

Life is so strange: Saw your comment on a Blender ornament tutorial, thought to myself: Geordie Crafts? Does she craft? Then came to your channel. First video I click has brilliant storytelling AS AN INTRO. What an amazing channel you have here! Will definitely stay around. Keep at it, you are great!

[@Geordiecrafts]

Funny how that works haha, I'm always so grateful for those blender tutorials, I don't know where I would be without them! I'm currently working on a HUGE Lord of the Rings piece so stay tuned for that! and Thanks for stopping by :)

[@berkc06]

You are truly amazing. I hope you can work with much bigger dioramas in the future.

[@nightcitycrafts]

Keep it up, Geordie. Really loved your approach to the lightning, and i may use it some day.

[@NinetaleHobbies]

Crazy talented!

[@Themodelman]

Loved the video! your editing and animation work is amazing and really goes the extra mile and of course, the end diorama was superb

[@OutworldAtelier]

Absolutely awesome and entertaining video! Some really unique tricks with the water!

[@dodgersfnshepard8673]

Boylie got some competition! Therea dioramas then theres this

[@MiniQuest64]

Every minute of this video was pure joy. It's astounding how you manage to put so many different crafts/tools/techniques in a single video. Thank you for this video, can't imagine how many hours you've spend on it!

[@maximiliantagher8290]

This was ridiculously impressive

[@Addcheez]

This channel is criminally under-viewed.

[@Geordiecrafts]

Haha I appreciate that! I'm just not fast enough with making videos yet 😅

[@felixthecrazy]

Truly outstanding build and video. Only recommendation is to use lots of smaller supports when printing, rather than larger ones, that will result in far less work to clean up prints.

[@gisleyalves7757]

🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 I know myself: I would sleep evey single night just looking this " storm inside a mini dome".🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@GRGMiniatures]

Super fantastic vid, Geordie! Talk about hobby polymath!

[@jcmartin1978]

Whoa! You are crazy talented.

[@chillywilly883]

Oh my. Love the animation. Production value on point.

[@itribbits633]

You should make a sequel piece where the guys who jump overboard go into the krakens tentacle suckers and absorb into it in like a collective consciousness and they can like live each other's memories and then one of them like goes back into the other guy's memory and it's like time travel and he like lives the other guy's life and when he gets to the ship he's like no I won't sail on this ship and it's like, did he just undo history or is it like a alternative universe or something?? I think that would make a good piece

[@AdnanCucak]

Youre really skilled in so many areas! Love the final product

[@bigdenopaints]

Great concept, fantastic executiona and a funny and engaging video. Well done Geordie!!

[@ShinobiAlphaOG]

One hell of a build, well done 👏

[@landuinpan]

omg... your channel is pure gold, you are amazing!

[@ConjuredCraft]

Amazing, just well and truly amazing! Everything about this build is thematic and adds to the story telling. The lightning effect is so cool and I love the brass tentacle feet for the base. 🦑

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks so much! I'm pretty happy with how the feet turned out too 😊

[@Karlmakesstuff]

Always fascinating to see the variety of crafting skills you use on each diorama. The animation was really cool too! Having to hide that board was almost a pity though, that was some clean soldering 😁

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks Karl! The animation was a bit too long, but I had already invested a month so I there was no going back 😅 I'm definitely pretty happy with how that perfboard turned out haha. Thanks again!

[@Karlmakesstuff]

Question about the baking powder and medium, how well does it age? I've been told that baking powder and glue can yellow over time, does the medium prevent that?

[@Geordiecrafts]

@@Karlmakesstuff hmm thats a good question. My oldest diorama is only 2 years old but its not showing any signs as of right now. I'll keep an eye out for it though!

[@dominikmalysz]

@@Karlmakesstuff I think it depends on the glue/medium for example I made a diorama with baking powder mixed with glue for snow and it still is white after 6 years, while it turns yellow for some people 🤷‍♂️

[@Karlmakesstuff]

@@dominikmalysz probably so! Would be interesting to investigate this further.

[@JanusIIV]

This is uh...kind of stupidly high quality, wow. Good craftsmanship, good showmanship, good editing, and the little intro movie was top-notch.

[@Geordiecrafts]

Haha thank you so much! I appreciate it 😊

[@mikemartin3671]

Okay, paused at the beginning of only my 3rd video of your channel...I cannot believe the level of production you're putting into your videos! Blown away. Kudos 👍 Edit: watched more...you're very talented and creative! I'm envious of your skills and access to various technologies. You're doing what I wish I could do! Good for you!👍You've also got a very accessible and genuine narrative style. I hope to see more projects and watch your channel grow! I subscribe to many "creative" channels and you've set a very high standard and IMO produce content that easily rivals anything I've enjoyed in the past. Respect! Also 🇨🇦content!

[@xanderrijkee5094]

Awesome! I really appreciate the impressive breadth of your skillset!

[@Vortid]

Oh wow, super good!

[@Dhrazia]

Thats incredible. Good job on the animation too.

[@CCMinis]

Hot damn that must have taken you ages to make. That turned out incredible Geordie, excellent work!

[@Geordiecrafts]

This video was a long one, but I really enjoyed the process!

[@aaronreynolds8587]

And...now I want a lathe. Thanks, Geordie.

[@chrissanders6904]

I’m just now discovering your channel, this is phenomenal!! loved watching this video! The end result WOW!! More I say MORE!… plz.

[@gigic329]

How do you not have millions of subscribers. You do such fabulous work.

[@danloeber]

Excellent build! I really like the classic closhe dome presentation, it somehow makes any piece a mantle piece. #victorianmantlepiece

[@Elfhelm]

As usual, great stuff! Your range of skills is quite impressive

[@diy_wizard]

Will you asked which Skills we would like to see… for me it’s you 3d modeling like the tentacles! I love those tentacles!

[@Geordiecrafts]

I've actually got project in the works for blender related content. I haven't had a chance to do anything over there yet, but I have lots of plans! kzbin.info/door/k--KZo8Ur29rb1BMu4rSdQ

[@BPCustomCreations]

So incredibly well done 👍 I was excited to see that you posted a new video!

[@MTspeed_Crafts]

This is next level amazing! Awesome build!

[@ggfsaf]

Cool project and video! Lots of cool ideas in there. Love it🙂

[@cranistraniu]

Such an amazing and beautiful work 👏👏👏. You put in so much effort into creating this video and of course for the work itself. Congratulations! 🙌

[@RichardThompsonCA]

Amazing work!

[@RisingApe]

Incredible stuff, honestly there is so much I could say, so I will just leave it at, it’s been a real pleasure watching this project come to life. Congratulations

[@monnubains6184]

Absolutely amazing! The projects and your storytelling are truly fantastic Geordie!

[@ethobbyshow]

Nice kraken pun. This video was drowning in great ideas. Nice work Geordie, I don't even attempt craft this small because my giant ape man fingers won't allow it

[@Geordiecrafts]

Haha thanks! I pride myself on my bad puns 😅. Yeah having tiny hands is certainly advantageous for small crafts!

[@veravaneijk]

It looks amazing! I love the animation too!

[@donmurchison2558]

Wow…… I just came across your videos. You do amazing work. I’m looking forward to see more of your upcoming videos. Thanks.

[@Robert-bm2jr]

I'm really enjoying your work. Thanks

[@forgingaheadinart]

Amazing job!! You are one of my favorite crafting channels to watch, so happy to see you had a new video!! Love the “get kraken “ joke 🤣🤣🤣. With your permission I want to share your channel info!!

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks so much! and of course you can share :)

[@rarstorm]

Wow wow wow. You have all the skills I love and would love to develop. Video edition, photography, drawing, animating, woodworking, 3d design, wiring, programming, painting, and the knowledge of putting all of them together. I just subscribed to your channel. Congratulations

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks so much for stopping by and subscribing! I really appreciate it 😊

[@ottawakapitalgaminggarriso8577]

Fantastic!!!

[@basedroy]

Was waiting for your video for a long time, ngl but all with that narration, animation, story, voiceover, music, sfx, and especially the efforts on this particular diorama, made this video absolutely perfect. You did an amazing job keep it up my Sis! I'll surely be waiting for your future diorama projects

[@earthmanbrick]

Damn, must have been expensive as hell to make all that. Well done

[@Geordiecrafts]

More expensive than I can afford 😅, but no regrets! I absolutely love it!

[@katiewaterrose]

This is spectacular!! I watch an obscene number of crafting channels and you have some techniques going here that I have yet to come across. Holy moly.

[@Geordiecrafts]

haha thanks so much! I love experimenting and trying new things! it often fails, but when it works its great!

[@Berserkerworks]

Wow, what a cool diorama! I've been watching your videos all day and you have some spectacular projects, but this one really brings alot of skills together!

[@Geordiecrafts]

Aw thank you! This one was a really fun project 😊

[@rushthewash]

Awesome video, awesome story told!!!

[@maxbrandt6]

Absolutely fantastic! This is one exciting diorama, those lightening effects are awesome! How can I get those tentacles? I'm going to need those for a display I have planed.

[@dang7716]

Wow! Impressive stuff

[@pdxcontent]

This is the first time I’ve seen your channel and I’m so disappointed I didn’t know about you earlier. Your 3D modeling skills are OUT OF THIS WORLD, your artistry is unmatched, your calming fun and inspiring commentary is such a pleasant touch, plus plus plus… I could just keep admiring and fan girling but since I’m a distinguished woman over 40 I’ll keep my excitement to a bare minimum. On top of all the skill, talent, experience…. You also produced a HIGH quality video with great lighting, music, editing…. All that goes into this is just unmeasurable. I’m your new biggest fan.

[@Geordiecrafts]

Oh my goodness thank you for all the kind words!! I really enjoy making these projects and the filming/editing has become it's own enjoyable hobby. Thanks so much for subscribing 😊😊

[@hesidoabducido7]

Please make a tutorial of the LED coding! I wanna put storms on my dioramas too!

[@GiantRobolove]

Haha I feel you on the intro. You're thinking "Dang I need a hook, what can I do for eyecandy?" And then you're stuck with an intro that takes longer to make than the project itself 😂 I'm currently in that phase lol. But it was well worth it. Loved both the outcome of the animation as well as the diorama. Btw, how long did it take until you received the LED filaments from aliexpress?

[@Geordiecrafts]

That's exactly what happend haha, whoops! I learned lots of new fun skills though so no regrets! I checked out your channel and you have some awesome stuff on there! I loved the diorama you made, fantastic work! It's funny you ask about the shipping time on that because it was nearly 4 months 😵

[@GiantRobolove]

@@Geordiecrafts I bet. Running a KZbin channel definitely pushes one's boundaries time and time again. Haha thanks for taking your time :) Hm yeah, that's what I feared. Ever since I saw them on Boylei's channel I wanted to try them out. Better order them now, so that I can start this winter lol

[@bradrichard5395]

Would you be willing to share the coding and schematics for the lightning

[@sea2kcom]

Very nice concept and development. 👌

[@Dantti]

Wow awesome work! Great use of Blender & Grease Pencil to lay out the vision! (I just realized to check the mentions tab 😅 Sorry)

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks for checking it out Dantti! And thanks for all your amazing tutorials!!

[@Dantti]

@@Geordiecrafts No problem! So glad I could help! This made my day! Thank you :) ❤

[@mishkaserafini6223]

damn i,m literally overwhelmed by the amout of brilliant ideas you've packed in this video! well done! subscribing right now

[@Geordiecrafts]

Aw thanks so much!

[@Katiehooper3D]

“Man this already amazing and time consuming project just isn’t taking me long enough, let’s just create a whole animation for it too.” :Geordie probably. Lol mad props to you, the skill and quality of this video is phenomenal. I lovvvvveeeeee the fact that you voiced this one over 🤗 super amazing editing too.

[@Katiehooper3D]

Just finished the video. Mannnnnnnnnnnnn this was such a cool project I learned a lot…. Seriously impressed

[@Geordiecrafts]

@@Katiehooper3D thanks so much! It was super fun to make! 😁 (but yeah I spent too long on the animation 😅)

[@aaronreynolds8587]

Fantastic, Geordie! I'd love to see you do an Arduino for Dummies and Diorama Makers vid. So many arduino vidz out there assume too much knowledge or don't show the kind of applications we would use them for like this. Really enjoying your vidz!

[@danadouin1042]

Too awesome for words

[@rm709]

Just subbed. You have me mesmerized with the video editing. But that shirt is top notch! And you draw too!? Ughhh I can only hope to be as good as you! Edit: AND YOU CAN TURN, and 3D model?? I’m in love.

[@AC-cg3bv]

Curious to learn how you learnt so many techniques?! Wonder if you are an engineer, then computers.... keep changing my mind 🤣 Regardless go girl! Love watching you create!

[@Geordiecrafts]

Haha I'm not an engineer no, my education is in exercise science and physical rehab 😅. This is just a hobby for me but I absolutely love it!

[@AC-cg3bv]

Hehe! It's great playing and learning new things isn't it!! I love doing loads of different crafts and finding ways around issues. Next task is an easy flock recipe for my cherry blossom to go next to a Japanese temple (lit!!). Looking forward to the next project 😁

[@TerrainbyAaron]

Awesome build 👌

[@WillinrowArts]

Your videos are great! Very talented. 🥰

[@Geordiecrafts]

Thanks so much! I just checked out your channel and you have some awesome stuff there!!
