Miniature Aunt Josephine's House from A Series of Unfortunate Events

I completely forgot to include a warning in the video, but in the final shots there is a section with flashing lights (lightning) so please be careful and huge apologies for overlooking it!

[@Turjak_art]

wait a moment you apologies for having flashing lights??? I never heard such a stupid thing and I really ask me from where this come from???

[@MechanicalFiend]

@@Turjak_art Not for having flashing lights, but for not including a warning beforehand! It's standard practice in any film/video content to include a warning because it can potentially trigger a seizure for people that have epilepsy, which we obviously don't want to do!

The movie may not have been a perfect adaptation, but as a standalone film I remember it being quite good overall. I still have the end credits music on my driving playlist, haha.

Glad you liked that, I'm a huge fan of Darius Greene's music- he could make an outstanding soundtrack for the series, all his stuff is laced with wonderfully strange storytelling.

That honestly makes me really happy to hear, glad you could enjoy them! This might sound so incredibly cheesy lol, but miniatures are just so cool because almost anything is possible with them. Making tiny fantasy worlds is something a lot of people did as kids (myself included), but now having the ability to actually make the things you dreamed of... is the best feeling.

The movie was my first introduction to the series so I might be a bit biased, but I too kind of prefer it to the netflix series. Everything from the atmosphere, the enviroment building, the costumes and even the choice of actors was simply nailed better. The only flaw is in the story, but it's hard to fit even just 3 of the 13 books in one hour and a half. This said, I'm in loss of words from how much I love how this turned out!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Absolutely, honestly I think deciding to do an entire series justice in a single movie was always doomed to leave something to be desired story-wise. That being said, production-wise they did such an amazing job at capturing the story world. Thank you so much for the kind words, really happy you could enjoy it!

[@ollieno971]

Exactly!!

[@BLUESBIRD]

I know that I am over two years late to comment, but I agree so much with your comment. I was first introduced to the movie when I was about 3-4, and much later the series came out. I just prefer the series because the costumes, actors, and how it showed all of the book episodes instead of just the first, second, and third books. But to each their own 😊

[@ethairnyx_books]

I love the movie more too! I just feel like everything from the deaths to the character interactions were done better, especially since they were done with less time. Also, just felt like the movie had it's vibe figured out better. The show misses the mark just a little trying to mix comedy with tragedy.

[@MechanicalFiend]

For sure, even though I think the movie would have benefited a lot from having more time for the story (if only they made a whole series of movies... one can dream haha), they really captured the atmosphere of the story world so well. And while I don't think the Netflix version was bad by any means, it did feel a little less well put together. Either way, I'm happy to watch any versions they want to make!

As someone who adores the Netflix series more than the movie... yeah the movie had much better set design and a stronger aesthetic. 100% agree. There's a reason I remember the designs and music from the film so well that I sometimes misremember those songs and sets as part of the Netflix series.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Exactly, the movie definitely had a big impact visually and atmospherically- super memorable! Both had their strong points for sure though!

[@violetmirrorsmusic4225]

This is literally the coolest thing I’ve ever seen, I love this movie and series and the model is so good!!!! Good work!!!!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh I don't know about all that, but wow so happy you could enjoy it! Appreciate it so much~

[@AUDREYZGAMER]

This is so amazing I can’t even imagine how hard it was!

[@hadadaibis860]

The amount of skill you have is amazing. This is phenomonal, a word which here means remarkable or exceptional, especially exceptionally good :)

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh you are truly delightful, a word which here means kind and pleasant- a harbinger of happiness. That's far too nice, thank you so much, seriously~

[@MellowJelly]

I got extreme chills when you started singing Aurora cause she's my fave!!

[@MechanicalFiend]

She's incredible, love her music so much! Was singing her songs the whole time while making this haha~

[@InsaneLaughter01]

As someone who will get right up on a miniature to stare into the windows, Seeing you decorate the inside soothes my soul. Yes it may be time consuming and seem useless, But it truly feels as though you took the house from the film and shrunk it down. I half exspected to see the children gazing out the window back at me. The truest definition of a miniature. Bravo!

[@thebusbums2825]

You knocked this out of the park! This turned out incredibly

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh well so happy you thought so, thank you! Glad you like the result!

[@heidi-so2ds]

i absolutely love a series of unfortunate events (the slippery slope might be my favorite of the series) and you did an amazing job with the house. i like to think of it as a combination of the movies monster house and howl’s moving castle 🖤🖤

[@MechanicalFiend]

Totally, the series is so wonderfully unique! Really happy to hear you could enjoy it! Think I definitely need to watch Monster House soon, so many people have mentioned it in relation to this haha~

[@aaron-bieber]

"This seems like a neat idea, I'll just watch a couple minutes, and.... Uh...." 24 minutes later... nice job!! Crazy level of persistence, I would have given up 12 different times here.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh so happy to hear you enjoyed it enough to stick around, appreciate it so much seriously. Thank you for giving it a watch and for all the kind words, means more than I can say!

[@thequeertelope7941]

your attention to detail and patience though :o i really enjoyed the editing too

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahh well so happy you enjoyed everything and thank you so much for all your lovely comments as always, they mean so much to me~

[@zactron1997]

Subscribed! I showed this to my family and we all loved your work, and they way you filmed it as well was so good. Everyone had a smile on their faces when during the reveal you had that little thunderstorm!

[@MechanicalFiend]

That is the best thing to hear, so happy you could all enjoy it! Had so much fun filming and putting together those final shots haha~

[@therussianprincess7036]

Thank you for painting everything on the interior before putting the model together, every time I see someone building a diorama and puts together *everything* before painting I have a heart attack.

[@MechanicalFiend]

I really do spend a lot of time trying to make sure my order of operations limits the amount of struggle haha! Certain things you can put together and paint at the end, but yeah interiors... no thank you!

[@milja9539]

This is incredibly cool!! And makes doing miniatures look very approachable, I've been wanting to start but I've felt like I'm going to need a lot of things that I don't have. But you showed that using mostly just cardboard and paper can also turn out great and it makes me want to try as well!

[@MechanicalFiend]

That is exactly something I hope people get from the videos because I used to feel the same way a long time ago! Thought a lot of things were impossible without expensive supplies, but that's totally not the case- you can do a ton with recycled supplies! Hope you give it a shot if you want to, it's a ton of fun~

[@flux202]

So in conclusion, I am going to watch A Series Of Unfortunate Events.

[@fecaroline8311]

So in conclusion, I'll read the book all over again for the 40th time

[@imtrying2335]

me TOO

[@MechanicalFiend]

Hope you do if you're interested, it's a great film (and book series of course)!

[@godammichael]

In conclusion I'll watch the Netflix show again cause its so good

[@yocampout]

Most crafters now have all these gadgets: 3d printers, saws, etc. Nice to see someone do it like me.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Well 3D printers and stuff are pretty cool and can speed some of the process up, but yeah the handmade stuff is really my thing. It feels the best making every little piece knowing that you've crafted the entire thing yourself. Glad you could enjoy!

[@ash_was_here9723]

the hard work was so. worth. it. you just earned yourself a new subscriber

[@MechanicalFiend]

Not going to lie, do feel like I need to hear that sometimes haha, thank you so much for saying that. Super happy you could enjoy it~

[@krltslnd4186]

😍 awesome 😍 ..♥♥♥ btw I absolutely prefer the movie, its a work of art, all those beautiful REAL sets and miniatures and the Thomas Newman soundtrack ♥♥♥ would totally build a whole massive miniature town that style

[@MechanicalFiend]

Totally, every piece of the movie felt like it was crafted as a whole- the music, sets, cinematography, etc.- everything really worked together in a way I felt was lacking in the Netflix series. Man that would be such a fun project- if you did want to do that one day, I would for sure be thrilled haha!

[@jollymatilda5890]

Fantastic, WOW That was a great deal of work! You did an outstanding job recreating that house! 💜💜💜

[@MechanicalFiend]

Indeed, haha even more so with all the unnecessary work I create for myself! Seriously though, appreciate that so much, really glad you could enjoy it!

[@ukwand77]

This miniature is amazing! I really thought that you nailed the weight of the piece. Just looking at it I feel as though the house is unsteady and about to topple which was a constant source of anxiety when I was a kid watching this movie lol. I was actually surprised at how light it was when you moved it at the end of the video. Fantastic work!

[@MechanicalFiend]

That makes me so happy to hear, definitely was a little bit unsure if it would be light enough to stay secure to the cliff, but it ended up being surprisingly sturdy! Really glad you enjoyed it, though apologies if it brought back any of the anxiety haha! Thank you so much for all the kind words~

[@hushingsilence]

The attention to detail is impressive! Amazing. Very, very impressed. The closing scenes of fog and lightning added the perfect atmosphere. Be proud of your work. You made a masterpiece!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhhh really happy to hear you enjoyed it, thank you so much! Appreciate all the kind words a ton~

[@Duececoupe]

Had to watch this video again....thoroughly enjoyed it, like the first time and I love what you created, phenomenal work! Between the movie and the series, your miniature house wins! 😉 Oh....I've got tattos, but none of them is an eye on my ankle! 😉😆😂 It's wonderful to see creativity like this....🤗

[@MechanicalFiend]

Apologize for the late response, but oh my goodness thank you so much! I honestly can never fathom that people would want to watch multiple times, let alone once. Thank you for all the kind words so much, really so happy you could enjoy~

[@Duececoupe]

@@MechanicalFiend Oh, that's perfectly alright, not too worry....as you know already, life happens and you miss wee things....making you smile (I hope) and feel happy more than makes up for it! 😁 I hope that you're still creating beautiful work like this, there's not enough of it in this world and I'm positive that it inspires young and old to try it out.... Looking forward to see more videos of your future creations....🤗🐻🤗

[@danielcotnoir3363]

You are an incredibly talented young lady. Your ability to overcome limitations and obstacles is admirable. I have no doubt that if you continue on your path with the same enthusiasm and creativity, you'll reach your goal of working in movies. Do you plan on setting up a Patreon or Amazon wishlist? I'd contribute to both.

[@MechanicalFiend]

That's super super nice of you to say, oh my goodness. Really appreciate it more than I can express, thank you! It's incredibly kind that you would want to do that, I am currently working on setting up a patreon. Just want to make sure that I have enough to offer in return because I really don't take it lightly that people would want to support the stuff I make!

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

"either you can see or I can see... we can't both see at the same time" lol!!! Yes mini youtuber struggle in one sentence😄! This video was spectacular and I also prefer the visuals of the movie even thought just recently watched the TV series. Love all the details and the videography!! Just fantastic! (edit: oops I just heard you say you don't want to hear if we liked the movie better or not but I agree with you😶😄)

[@MechanicalFiend]

Yes! When you're working in those small areas, there's just not enough real estate for your eyes and a camera! Haha don't worry, the series was definitely really great in its own right, just in different ways. So much beautiful design in the movie though! Thank you so much, really glad you could enjoy- this was a particularly fun project to work on~

[@DeeEll86442]

🙋🏼‍♀️Hello, I also love doing these kind of projects to see how detailed I can get, because of course DETAILS MATTER😁👍 So believe me, I FEEL YOUR PAIN 😆 However, after all of your hard work the results are AMAZING 🤩. Thank you for showing us your thought process and your INCREDIBLE FINAL CREATION 😊 I look forward seeing what you come up with next. GREAT JOB! 😃👏

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh thank you, both glad and sorry that you relate on that level haha! Wish you well with all of your projects and thank you so much for all the super kind words! Appreciate it a ton~

[@boooooooop5397]

“Texture hides all sins” 💕 I love that

[@MechanicalFiend]

It's totally true, also applies to moss and paint as well in many situations haha!

[@jasmineiii3966]

this is so amazing 0.0 your crafting and cinematography are incredible, you've been a huge inspiration! i'm currently making a victorian letter for my girlfriend's birthday, though i don't think it'll fit under one stamp lol. thank you for all the inspiration you have given me to be a more creative person~

[@MechanicalFiend]

Oh my goodness that seriously makes me the happiest to hear, really glad you are giving letter-making a go! Hope it goes well for you and you have a ton of fun with it! And thank you so much for all the kind words, I wish you so much luck in all your future creative endeavors~

[@MarcelSpijker]

What a treat is it watching you build and explain why and how you do the things you do. And then the icing on the cake with the glamor shots... wow...

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahh that is far far too kind oh my goodness! So happy you could enjoy it, thank you so much! Had a ton of fun working on all the different pieces of this project~

[@dulcepelayo7571]

4:23 it happened quiet-Aurora (I love that song, it’s my favorite of hers) 🥰 btw I love that house, that details 🤯

[@MechanicalFiend]

One of my absolute favorites from her too, such a beautiful song! Thank you so much, really happy you liked the result~

[@inessechos8935]

I LOVE a series of unfortunate events

[@MechanicalFiend]

Yes, such a unique and beautiful story world!

[@lilren8825]

wow...just WOW, my brain cant compute the amount of stamina and creativity this took AND you made it look easy! BRAVO

[@MechanicalFiend]

Hahaha believe me, it definitely wasn't easy for me! Thank you so much ahh seriously, that's all way too nice! Really happy you could enjoy~

[@lwarraky]

I love it you are soooooooo talented ❤️ A series of unfortunate events is my fav I can imagine how long it took 🤩

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahh so happy you could enjoy it, thank you so much for the kind words! Indeed, a long project, but glad to have finished it~

[@juliaenzmann5299]

“Where all my single shingles out there?” Lol

[@7spiritualcompass706]

Dang! You're amazing! Thank you for sharing your skills and sense of humor. You had me smiling. 🤎

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhhh that makes me the happiest to hear, so glad you could enjoy it! Thank you for all the super kind words, you have me smiling as well~

[@LaserGadgets]

Great, now I want cookies :'

[@MechanicalFiend]

All part of the plan, gotta push the cookie agenda! You can't escape them, even in crafting videos~

[@LaserGadgets]

@@MechanicalFiend .-.

[@lillie2009]

Woah! I've never seen the movie of SOUE I've only seen the series but that is incredible!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahh well both are definitely great! Would recommend the movie if not for the design alone- the story is a little rushed, but it really is an incredibly well done piece of cinema. Glad you could enjoy this regardless, appreciate it a lot!

[@loiclld]

wow... The work done is amazing... I can t imagine how much talent and time are needed... Thank you for this video!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh that's so incredibly kind oh my goodness. Thank you so much! Really happy you could enjoy everything~

[@MarkusDarius]

Your video has just been recommended for me and oh my god, you have amazing skills for miniature, the details... the details were the most impressive part for me, even the pipe detail you did it!! honestly, how much time did you spend on this masterpiece? It's just perfect, amazing! A Series of Unfortunate Events was a movie I loved so much as child, it's so good to see this

[@MechanicalFiend]

Oh man that's way too nice, really happy you could enjoy everything, thank you so much! This project took me about 2 months I think if you count the video. If not, maybe more like 1 and a half haha, but totally could have finished it way faster. Lots of procrastinating along the way! Same with the movie, re-watching it and building this absolutely just made me appreciate it even more.
