Miniature Howl's Moving Castle Bedroom in a Cookie Tin

[@StudsonStudio]

The tiny horseshoe on the Studson book! It feels appropriate to put such a cursed item on Howl's bookshelf.

[@MechanicalFiend]

It had to be done! Wait... does this mean that tiny Howl is cursed now? Should I be expecting to find horseshoes in odd places?

[@Gandellion]

I love Howl’s bedroom, it’s somehow a very calming chaos.

[@MechanicalFiend]

That's exactly it- it's a mess, but also the most comforting space because of it. They really nailed the design, it's beautiful~

[@sarahrose7316]

Just like Howl in my opinion

[@tokaiju]

just imagine having to clean it though 😭

[@ghoultooth]

@@tokaiju It’s one of those spaces that you dust, I can’t imagine it getting dirty other than dust

The fact that you included the patreon members in the books.❤❤❤❤❤ fam, my heart, that is the sweetest thing ever.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Of course! Always want to include them as much as possible, they seriously do keep this channel going! I am so incredibly grateful~

[@camille_la_chenille]

This is breathtaking! Howl's bedroom is one of the most fascinating sets of the movie and we get to see it for so little time. You managed so well to identify the key elements and then evoke the rest of the wimsical, otherwordly clutter with what you had. The final result just screams Howl and I want to shrink enough to actually enter the tin.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Yes! It's been my favorite Ghibli space since I first saw it, just so many beautiful details (for such a short scene!)... though I get it, animating all of that must have been quite the task. I am so honored that you thought so, it's definitely a tricky space to get right. Glad you could enjoy and of course, thank you so much for all the super kind words~

[@nedanother9382]

OMG...of all the amazing accolades that could be bestowed on this. The non-sphere sphere was just an SDSU jump shot with no time on the clock, home run in the bottom of the ninth, success. great job. So inspiring. So well edited for my adhd brain. Thank you.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Hahaha as I said, the 2.5D sphere really worked out in my favor because I had absolutely no idea how to build an actual sphere like that! So happy you could enjoy it, thank you~

[@mossmyth]

This was so magical!!! The editing, filming and of course the actual creation all of it was amazing!! You did an incredible job!!! Thanks so so much for sharing your process with us!!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhhhh oh my goodness that is too nice! I always have so much fun working on both the projects and the videos. Hearing that someone thought it was magical is truly the biggest compliment, thank you so much~

[@gothikkitsune759]

Awesome work, Howls room was always awesome to just pause and look at. Arrietty's Bedroom is like Howls in a way just less pretties in her room. I always liked Sophie's hat shop room its pretty to.

[@MechanicalFiend]

From working on parts of both Howl's Bedroom and Arrietty's- they are both absolutely beautiful, Howl's room is just 50x more complicated and filled with stuff lol. They know how to design a good space over at Studio Ghibli! I love the hat shop as well, so many wonderful details and colors~

[@BentleyHouseMinis]

My brain immediately agreed with your brain that YES, painting it first was the way to go! That's the only way I can imagine taking in all the details that making up this magical room! I love so many things about how you created this piece but I have to say all of the hand painted fabrics and wallpapers were my favorite! They were really beautiful and set the tone before anything went inside🤩

[@MechanicalFiend]

The painting definitely felt so necessary on this one, it seriously helped immensely to wrap my brain around all the details that are packed in there! Thank you so much! Really happy you liked them- I actually find so much joy in hand-painting fabrics and wallpaper patterns, it's so much fun~

[@Amiabenson]

You know when you’re little you have moments that make life feel so special, they make you feel something.. and then you get older and it becomes a sweet nostalgic moment that you think on at times and your heart is so full.. as a 23year old.. this will be my nostalgic moment for when I’m older. This made my heart so full🤎

[@MechanicalFiend]

I've always loved Markl! probably because I'm a big sister to a lil brother so he just gives baby vibes to me!! and his disguise is so cool and cute!! he's my fave ghibli character second to the soot sprites lmao

[@MechanicalFiend]

Markl is so funny in the movie, I love that he acts like he's this scary wizard when he's really just a kid trying to hide stuff in his room from Sophie cleaning. He has such a good heart, definitely a worthy choice for a favorite!

Howl is my absolute all time favorite movie, I've watched it so many times.

[@Moonguided]

I've never seen Howl's Moving Castle, but I had the biggest, dopiest smile on my face watching the reveal because of how much love I was witnessing. Your passion for the movie is a joy to watch, even as a total outsider. You are an INCREDIBLE crafter and I have been so, so inspired by you. Your solutions, like the bead spacer and masking tape as the gramophone? Absolutely amazing. This video has made me so unbelievably excited to get back to my own projects I've had to pause. Just like, literally thank you for being you and for making the things that make you happy. Your joy radiates and I feel better than I did before I clicked on this video.

It always makes me the happiest to hear that people can enjoy the projects regardless of having seen the source content. Thank you so much for giving it a watch even though you haven't seen the movie! You are really too kind, I'm so glad to hear anything I do could be even slightly inspiring for your own projects. The gramophone turned out came together better than expected when I first started making it haha! Not at all, thank you so much for saying all of that because it truly inspires me in return to work harder and hopefully make better videos for you in the future. Sending you all the good crafting energy for your projects~

your eye for detail is absolutely stunning! fun fact, I'm pretty sure all the eye based charms and items are to hide him and protect him from people trying to find him- the Witch of the Waste, yes, but also Madam Suleiman and the King. he's built his whole career doing exactly what he wants and is at this point far too competent to escape the war, according to the authorities anyway...

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahh well thank you so much! I didn't even make half of the stuff in his full room in the movie, the sheer amount of detail is mind blowing. Yes! I'm also pretty sure he has all the toys in his room because his heart is still a child's since he took the contract with Calcifer when he was a kid. Such cool stuff!

[@AwakeningWings]

Howl's bedroom is my favorite room in the whole castle. I love how it shows an alchemist's space, chaotic and beautiful at the same time. It also reminds me of an artist's room full of their work and supplies and everything. An organized mess where you can see and find things easily. I think that's why we love it so much. In a way, artists are like alchemists; we transmute good or bad emotions in our work and we create something magical out of it. I love the tin you used for this one, it's a beautiful color and it reminds me of Howl's darker hair, in some lighting his hair looks navy blue. When the stars are out the sky is a royal blue color. Plus, the lighting in the whole movie is amazing. I love all the little details you included. The bookshelf looks so cool. It would be really cool if you could actually make the whole room with two separate tins that can be opened up to the room. Half on one tin and the other half on the other tin. So the bed and stuff can fit. Do you know what I mean?

[@Siennaflower]

I'm not trying to be dramatic, this is quite honestly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen

[@MechanicalFiend]

I'm also not trying to be dramatic, that is one of the nicest things anyone has ever said... ahh thank you so much! That's seriously too kind, super happy you thought so~

[@srrfounder1]

WOW WOW WEE AMAZING!

[@MechanicalFiend]

Thank you so much~

[@wileep]

OH MY GOD what a masterpiece mechanical fiend, i admire your work fondly

[@MechanicalFiend]

Stoooooop you are too kind, thank you so much! So happy you could enjoy~

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

Dang, you CRAZY! Wow, what an undertaking. The project came out so well and I love how you can make things that look both loose and tight at the same time. Not easy, Every one of your videos is so inspiring to me. Does the Black Magic camera look good? YES! Amazing in fact. Does it look better than before? I don't know... to be honest, your cinematography has always been so good that I simply can't tell. It all looks fantastic. I really fell in love with the way that you made the little books, the foam is a perfect solution for the inside and the covers look sweet. Also, keep on rocking that puffy paint! You've got a way with it! : ) The whole segment with you drawing was beautiful and relaxing. I so enjoy watching your videos, D. Wow again.

[@MechanicalFiend]

It was a huge project and yet I barely made a quarter of his room- the amount of beautiful details they packed in there is astounding. So glad to hear the camera at least looks as good as before haha! Honestly you can get great shots out of pretty much any camera, but it's been really fun to work with something new. Even though the books took quite a while, they were so fun to design and put together! Ahhh thank you so much as always, I know I've already said this, but your comments never fail to make me feel motivated and inspired to do better. It really means a lot coming from someone whose videos I enjoy so much in return~

[@CajunCraftastrophe]

@@MechanicalFiend Thank you, Fiend! It's easy to leave nice comments for you... because I mean them! : )

[@rickmushinski6182]

I don't know if anyone's said anything about the camera but since you asked I couldn't tell the difference. Looks as good as your previous projects.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Thank you so much for the feedback, that's a relief to hear! It might not seem like it, but the process was quite different working with it, so I am really glad to hear that.

[@dudeross9120]

This is exquisite. Wonderfully done.

[@americantoadsarecool]

I love the build! And I really feel like she has leveled up her editing in this video!

[@MechanicalFiend]

So happy you enjoyed it! And thank you for saying that ahh, I'm doing my best to improve little by little- will work to improve in the future as well~

[@benmcreynolds8581]

You are so talented Holy Howl would be proud.

[@nanobotxtina5355]

beautiful😍! my favorite movie !

[@MechanicalFiend]

One of my favorites as well, it's such a beautiful film! Hope you could enjoy~

[@bewilderbeastie8899]

I'm not really a Ghibli person myself. Apart from Kiki's Delivery Service and Arriety, I don't really understand the appeal, I find the movies sort of disjointed and incomprehensible. However, I love seeing the love people have for them, and how it inspires them to make art, and your videos are no exception! I love what you make from them, and I love how they give other people inspiration.

[@MechanicalFiend]

I totally understand how they could not be everyone's cup of tea! Honestly there really isn't any perfect movie that everyone is going to resonate with, but as you said, there truly is such value in anything that can bring you inspiration. Thank you so much for giving the video a watch regardless of the movie resonating with you, it makes me the happiest to hear you could still enjoy~

[@mol_old]

video is an art piece in itself

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh well that is so very kind, thank you so much~

[@lunariaflora]

this was amazing: your voice, editing, attention to detail, building, creativity, EVERYTHING.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahhh you are too kind, I am so happy you could enjoy everything! This truly was a dream project for me, so much fun to work on all the pieces of the project and the video~

[@chimkennungats1037]

Um, wow. You're a REALLY talented painter! Loved the painting at the beginning of the room~ Gonna keep watching, but just wanted to stop to say this.

[@MechanicalFiend]

The funny thing is that I'm ok at painting from reference, but take it away and it all falls apart lol. You're too kind though, thank you so much! I still have a lot of work to do on my painting skills~

[@samantharoberts4519]

This is my favourite Gibli film. Loved your work as ever ❤❤

[@MechanicalFiend]

It's just beautiful, every time I watch it I feel so at peace. So happy you liked it~

[@yourlocaldilemma]

this is actually incredible- the project itself, the attention to detail, the cinematography, the storytelling, the scenes from the movie throughout- AMAZING!! tysm for sharing:))

[@zershuan]

You have created something wonderful. I really admire your Resilience to make such a big project and stick to it. I hope to find someone like you in my life.

[@MechanicalFiend]

Ahh you are just too kind my friend, this one was definitely a tricky one at times- trying to organize everything that needed to be done and find the motivation to keep going haha. Got there in the end though and definitely worth all the trials! So glad you could enjoy~

[@Kalkipikaia]
