As a filmmaker I just can’t get enough of all your artistic, practical work. DON’T EVER STOP!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

thanks!!! We'll try not to :D

[@beyondlimitationsvideo]

I wholeheartedly agree! I love the stuff they do.

[@jordanlarson6488]

Don't ever stop making projects. You're incredibly good at what you do, and filmmaking desperately needs more miniature and practical work in a world unnecessarily dominated by CGI

[@sliceoflifefilm]

No worries. We're working on new cool stuff! More videos coming!

[@charliegreyfriars3691]

Well said. As a kid of the 70s I miss all that. Even miniatures that didn't quite work still felt more real that CG.

[@TheGhostchaser8]

There’s really nothing that I can say, that hasn’t already been said. You guys put Hollywood to shame. You work with virtually no budget, and produce shots that surpass productions with millions of dollars at their disposal. Very very well done gentlemen.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Very much appreciated! ;)

[@GeahkBurchill]

This channel has had a profound impact on my life and the direction I’m taking my own work-many decisions I’ve made about my new workshop were made because of their videos.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Oh wow thank you! That's so awesome to hear!!! I just saw your latest video of your workshop and it seems like you have a great space in the making!! I'm also in the process of renovating my own shop, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with yours! Good luck! ;)

[@profbanzai]

Feeding the algorithm. Criminally under-subscribed channel. Your presentation style is great!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Yeeees! Let's feed the damn algorithm! 😂

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Magical, just beautiful!!!

[@lindybeige]

You neglected to mention HOW you added the passes together. Some sort of colour addition? Luminance addition? Transparent overlay?

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Lindybeige! This is quite an honor! Been a fan of your videos since forever! I used "screen blending" mode in after effects. I didn't go into much detail because I talked more about it in one of our past videos. ;) Here's the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnu4eZWaepV3o8k

[@VRVitaly]

yes how did you composite it all... would like to see that

[@orglarovin]

As a VFX supervisor for 15 years I must applause your work!! Very well done and inspiring in this age of CGI!!!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Wow, thank you for the kind words! Means a lot! ;)

[@KevinHackett]

I went to film school, grew up on practical film making, and even dabbled with miniatures and stop motion at times. I stumbled across your how to type of videos just last night and am so excited to start trying my hand at miniatures in filmmaking and explore what I love about storytelling and film. So excited to start creating. Thank you so much for such great resources. This is invaluable. You’re work is incredible. I’ve been ranting and raving about it all day today to different people making plans for starting small, but starting. Thank you!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks a lot for spreading the word and good luck with your projects!

[@plutons0productions]

Dajte ljudi, ova videa moraju trajati bar sat vremena :D

[@sliceoflifefilm]

haha, uf, onda bi ih radio po 7 godina. 🤣

[@SebastianJern]

Looks amazing! 😍

[@artfromtheheart4391]

I love scratch building miniatures I also love Japan and the carpentry of Shinto Shrines. This was an absolute joy to watch from start to finish!! Subbing 100%

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thank you very much!

[@supersixtyeight]

Don’t ever change guys. I love what you do, how you do it and your infectious personalities. Love to work with you on something, gonna do my best to make it happen!

[@DrunkChimp]

Absolutely incredible work. Thanks for showing this process.

[@animateangus]

Amazing work! That establishing shot of the building is absolutely stunning.

[@thingswelike]

Amazing work as always! Love the breakdown of the different passes and compositing

[@ganeshsubramanya21]

The way everything comes together is almost so poetic, obviously there are many film making and tutorial channels that I respect in KZbin but this channel feels like a history tv documentary show you know, aghhh people! understand the efforts behind this channel so that this channels grows to the level it deserves, the short films documentaries and behind the scenes are exceptionally crafted, hoping you get selected to the biggest of the biggest film festivals 😃

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thank you Ganesh!

[@erickkahinga]

This is currently my favorite film youtube channel! You guys are such an inspiration and every second of your videos are jammed packed with knowledge! As I grow as a director and DP I hope to learn your creativity and scrappiness to get exceptional projects done!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Great to hear! Good luck with your projects.

[@haydenwilliams1114]

Gorgeous work!

[@zallesproductions]

Incredible! Thank you for your art and inspiration.

[@MacCoshamFilms]

dude this whole thing is amazing!! i love the dedication to taking the time to do it right. that wide shot looks like a painting. and the tweezers joke got me

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Wasn't funny to me!!! haha :P

[@KnapfordMaster98]

Just insanely beautiful work. Looks straight out of a 90s movie, the layered approach to the lighting makes it so complicated and realistic. I can't put into any more words how stunning this is.

[@johnphan319]

There are a lot to learn from not just miniature hobby but also a professional artist. Thank you very much for this knowledge. Love it

[@VinylCherry]

Thank you!!! I got my start as a VFX artist over 30 years ago when the transition to digital was happening. I got to meet some of the best model makers and Matte painters in the business and even was lucky to stop by Disney's matte painting department before they shut down. Where they had dozens of paintings from Mary Poppins to the black hole... You are true artist! And I hope you keep inspiring a new generation..

[@sliceoflifefilm]

wow! It must have been magical to meet all these people and see their techniques! Very happy to hear you like our work! We are trying our best to use that knowledge for our work! Thanks for watching!

[@nyaneswaranmanogaran5925]

You guys are DIY Filmmaking legends! So inspiring & always a huge fan of the amount of realism & fine details you put in to create artistic, stylized & aesthetically pleasing shots! Would love to see you guys tackle a Heavy Metal magazine vibed Sci Fi Fantasy Space Epic miniature filmmaking content in the future!

[@BKMakes]

Gorgeous!

[@dejahdanger]

Fantastic work. The entire project is beautiful.

[@beteetmechant]

Can't wait to see your what you will create for your new project. You are so talented !

[@bchi521]

wow... love the artistic and technical work you put into the intro. I can not wait to see the entire documentary.

[@mrKWJones]

Yes! Its me again! Yes I just commented on your last video... beside the point. This video is AMAZING! There is a lack of creativity in the world and I have deemed you fellas to hold the torch for our need! Dont let us down! Looking forward to a video every week! The world is counting on you!

[@fishbarbeque8540]

I can never get enough of these miniature model shoots!!! great job!

[@sliceoflifefilm]

You and me both!

[@ccoop5194]

Lighting matches so well! Great work, so inspired here!!

[@THORFXMX]

As a retired practical (full scale) Special Effects tech I am so glad the new generation is still doing miniatures. Combining new tech with old techniques is great.

[@sliceoflifefilm]

Thanks a lot!

[@galaxyblaster1095]

Mad respect dudes! I really hope this makes it at the festivals!

[@robestey5628]

Great job - so well done. Love your channel.

[@LasseFrisk]

This is so cool!

[@URBONED]

Stunning. Such an inspiration. Can’t wait to see what’s next 🙏

[@skargoz5203]

Great work! Remembering how to set up equipment last used two years ago- I can totally relate.

[@AbandonedMiniatures]

This is incredible guys! Thank you for showing your process. You’ve seriously inspired me to level up my miniature filmmaking game even further. Beautiful work!!

[@TommyRosati]

This is so great and extremely inspiring! Thank you so much for posting.

[@SANFRANCISCO49ERS_PYRO]

Beautifully Done. You guys are GREAT!!!!

[@chris_sparrows]

This is very beautiful. What a strong opening and lovely miniature work.

[@777fiddlekrazy]

BEAUTIFUL!! WELL DONE!!

[@ggrinfan]

I am not a filmmaker, just an enthusiastic modeler and a fan of dioramas. What strikes me about this beautiful work, is that it could have been done in many different ways, including doing it almost entirely in CGI. By incorporating miniatures, matt painting techniques and lighting in different layers, the warmth and quality of the images is incredible. It's like watching a manga magazine scene come to life with spectacular realism.

[@ncao]

Thanks for sharing and the detail tutorial. LOVE it very much.

[@ericfelberg9152]

Many thanks for sharing your process in bringing this beautiful project to life. I love to see the power of digital combined with good old-fashioned artistry & craftsmanship. Truly inspirational.

Mission accomplished then! :D
