[@RooibosGinger]

I love how Niko usually has such a calm demeanor but is so passionate and creative. Even when he’s talking about jury duty. He’s such a storyteller.

[@TheUallis]

Hey Niko, Testors Dullcoat is generally considered the best for putting a matte finish on models. Just make sure that the conditions (temperature and humidity) are good for spraying so that you don't frost the models. To make the models really durable, spray a gloss coat on before the matte coat as gloss is generally stronger. Let me know if you have any questions!

[@roryevans5032]

To add to this it's really important to properly shake a matte varnish can before use. If the matting agent isn't mixed in with the varnish as the can has settled, then it will look like Niko's tiles did. It might be that a better shake is all that's needed.

[@TheUallis]

Yup! Forgot to mention that! Using a gloss coat can can sometimes fix frosting, but it's must better to keep it from happening in the first place.

[@Jaryth000]

Came here to say this too. Testors Dullcoat is what I use for finishing all of my mini's now.

[@nixcomments]

Gloss varnish being stronger is a common myth. Two coats of satin or matte varnish are just as effective. Besides the gloss from the first coat of varnish is actually hard to get rid of and needs more dull coats (higher risk of potentially screwing the model with frosting)

[@TheUallis]

Thanks for letting me know! I've never tried it myself

[@jamesmcmillin4024]

As a miniature painter I can say congratulations on finding dry brushing. I’m not a great painter so that helped sooo much when I learned it. Another technique worth checking out is washing. Helps you get the deep shadows in the crevices. Love that you guys do a ton of different stuff. Keep up the awesome work!

[@teknonick3374]

I would love to see this movie, it would make my day. To finally be able to go to a theater and bring my friends in and say "Hey, I watch these guys on KZbin. THIS is what they're about and what you've been missing every other day." Keep up the milestones guys, can't wait to see you on the big screen!

[@jimmydonohoe6808]

You should make all the ocean tiles shiny with the spray you currently have. You said you were going for a summer look and this would be the way to make the water shine in the summer sun.

[@357Dejavu]

I agree gloss on the water

[@ApriliaRS50Nerogp1]

That's what made the movie End of Watch such a good movie. They didn't go with the Hollywood standards, they approached small investors so they could bring in their own creativity. The feel of the movie is intense and makes it one of my favorite movies. (Also because of the realism, little things like no finger on the trigger if you're not shooting, or the funny moments when you're on a dull patrol)

[@nblade66]

I can imagine something going wrong at Corridor and Niko just storming off to angrily paint stuff. And then later in his life, he can look back on his work and be like "I painted this when the server crashed and we lost all our files" or "I painted this when Wren fell off his One Wheel. Good times..."

[@ragataga_]

The magnet thing is cool. I'm glad the Catan set turned out so great!

[@BouncingTribbles]

Hey Niko! The best thing to use is brush on dull coat. I used to paint models a lot, and the spray coat always came out a little shiny. Using the brush on dullcoat after the spray will give you the best results. Also, dont be afraid to use a little bit of your highlight colour to drybrush on after the dullcoat if its still to shiny

[@claytonjackson1809]

Hey. I want to let you guys know. This is one of my favorite videos to come back to when things are getting a bit stressful or I let my self get a bit overwhelmed in life. I like to come back and here what is said as a remind that, sometimes you just need to switch gears to help with letting up the stress slightly.

[@ivar0]

I often think about how I have been following Sam and Niko for so long but for me they are just extraordinary dudes who like to make movies and videos but in the future they might be like super famous sought after directors like Spielberg or Cameron and when I am like 70 I can say "Yeah, I was watching their stuff before they even got into movies" thats the future I want to live in

[@colewagner4149]

You guys have been redefining filmmaking for years but the triangle aspect ratio is perhaps the most groundbreaking thing you've ever been on the forefront of. So excited to see the creative ways directors make use of this amazing new tech.

[@Foresutu]

Niko! I'm a miniature painter for tabletop wargames. Using a gloss varnish spray isn't a bad thing as you can always spray a matte on top of the gloss. This actually is a common practice in miniature wargaming as it tends to offer better protection for the models. If you're just wanting an easy spray, Krylon makes a matte spray can that is alright. If you don't mind the little extra effort, Vallejo makes a brush on matte varnish that you can use a brush (not one you intend to keep/use for regular painting) with. Of course, those of us in the hobby that go the extra mile use airbrushes. I hope that was helpful!

[@SafetyCocoon]

New fav vid in a while :) Loved seeing the catan being finished (still wish I had one) and KEEP US UPDATED ABOUT THE MOVIE!!!! I think it's so cool to know all the back end, struggles, and how you actually get the movie produced

[@MTDfan1]

Just picked up the triangle tablet by Sabre, video looks great.

[@mrhenk007]

"we're gonna go out to shoot the movie that we want to shoot, and we'll shoot it in the way we shoot things" And that's also the way WE want to see, very nice!

[@wibet4835]

yo, I Love you guys videos for close to 6 years now, you guys continue to make me laugh. your videos continue to amaze me. please keep up the amazing work.

[@carlmmii]

To be honest, that last minute comment about triangular video editing is really smart. It's the only viable format that allows taking an entire side for functions and still having a properly scaled remainder for the viewing area.

[@karililjendal]

I feel like you are really onto something good with "Best." I can't wait for more updates on it. Also, a great video overall. Well done!

[@TofuRabbit]

Good stuff Niko. As an artist, it always makes me so happy to see people falling in love with painting. I hope you'll find as much joy as I did when I first got into it, there's so much to explore and experiment, I promise it's worth the time (:

[@ruan3352]

I personally prefer the hexagonal monitors.. like why would I downgrade from 4 sides to 3 when I can upgrade to 6!.. maybe you could film with a hexagonal Lense? Pleaseee! 😂

[@NotEvenOneShit]

Well you can arrange 6 equal triangles to make a perfect hexagon. And you will be able to take advantage of both 3 standard and 3 inverted orientation monitors. This makes triangles clearly the best choice.

[@Nate3417]

Man, you know, I was just starting to have some buyer's remorse over my new Triangle™ monitor but then you guys came around. Thank you for going ahead of the curve and using the aspect ratio of the future.

[@holliswilliams8426]

Reminds me of this little island which I made at school. I scrunched up a bin liner and then put paper over to it to get a kind of island and then painted it. It was actually the island from Shakespeare's The Tempest so it had a little cave on the side where Caliban lived.

[@Brandunno]

A feature from Corridor ? Hell yeah ! Excited af !

[@raven_au]

Hey, if you put slots in the sides of your storage box, you wouldn't need the spacers to keep the tiles apart and it would be way easier to pack up. Just slot the pieces in like an old CD storage tray (Have wider spacing for the tall pieces) . Great looking set!

[@boden4223]

wow i Usually say I dont like vlogs but I just love watching these videos. This is definitely a channel that has that classic feel

[@deesneezy]

Whoop whoop! I would fly myself to LA to act in any of your works! Corridor as a whole is a hero to the people!

[@lucaseberle6208]

That set is really cool, good job Niko! Keep up the great videos corridor, and keep the tips coming.

[@janbastrup1204]

Hi Niko a good idea for Catan is to have more tiles and play on a 6/6/6/6/6. But to balance it you need extra numbers (1 of 6 and 8) 2 of 4,5 and 9,10. 1 of the rest. for tiles 3-4 extra deserts and 1 of each resource tile). Then a lake piece, all lake tiles provide 3-1 trade. Then your point-goal is 15 and just have alot of fun. To generate a board, you can use dice to detemin what goes where.

[@evanw7032]

2:00 this makes me think you guys need a “the office” style intro

[@Aervida]

Be following you guys for so long, I already feel invested in the movie :) I hope you guys succeed, and go on to make a great movie!

[@melslusher2543]

You guys need to make a Node Settlers of Catan Video with Niko's new set. I'd Love to see that.

[@L0STinNARNIA]

A matte spray used a TON in custom doll/toy making is "Mr. Super Clear". downside is that the fumes are super toxic so you'll want to use it outside or in a well vented area you can vacate for a bit after using, but it's really highly recommended

[@stvlkrddn3114]

[@bgezal]

It was 25 or so years ago I used to paint miniatures, mostly WH40k, but there are still Games Workshop stores? Citadel paint? They had a fine matte varnish, not to mention gun metal. You've learned drybrushing, soon you will learn the power of "inking", letting very thinned paints seep into the details and drying off the excess. It's like reverse drybrushing but it adds depth unlike just a base coat.

If you want a spray finish that has no shine try workable fixative, it's meant to spray charcoal drawings to preserve layers or finished areas. Look out tho it tends to make everything a touch darker.

[@jacksongary]

So excited for your feature

[@Stepski23]

[@heimy01]

I use the Army Painter Anti-Shine Matt Varnish to finish off all of my miniatures. Great spray that doesn't leave things shiny!
