Come to Norway this June and join our unforgettable film workshop: andyax.com/film-workshops/ Thanks to the great team: William Faucher (with new video!): th-cam.com/video/_w3B0lH2GwM/w-d-xo.html Nerdforge: th-cam.com/users/Nerdforge Johannes Skoog and VP Nordic: www.vp-nordic.se/ Aaron Wahab: instagram.com/aaronwahab/ The film production team: www.vjus.no/ The studio: www.oslofilmstudio.no/
Great use of virtual production 👍 I would love to recreate it at our studio ❤ We also use Laser projectors for our videos but what you did here is really outstanding. I wonder what are your computer specs for the Unreal machine.
The ambitious project worked extremely well, congrats and well done! 🏆 Keep being ambitious and keep working with fabulously talented people and I believe you'll truly go far. 😁👍
Set extensions really can make the scope or your production look so much larger and hardly cost anything. I am a professional VFX artist and for the tiny US Indie horror/drama I was brought on to extend snow, make a desolate land scape and create glowing embers. Not something very complex for the bigger budget movies and TV series I’ve worked on. But this was a 10K production and VFX was 10% of that cost. So basically I had 6 shots so I’d to rush them out. I therefore did it all in 2D and still looks very convincing. With much more time I’d done it in 3D. And we got recognized by winning Best Movie and Best FX at NJ Horror Filmfest. Which was a great honor and luckily I happened to be in the states working on the series scorpion and I could be there (they’d won several prices already but I never was at a festival with them before). A funny detail that ties in with these guys. In the BTS the director explains to the executive producer that they’d found this Norwegian professional vfx artist that did the set extensions. I am Dutch 😂 not Norwegian 😂 This virtual production really makes things so much easier far less compositing. And you gave natural light wrap and reflections. The only thing is that you don’t have any control after the principle photography. So if your black and white levels and color temperature of the background is off, there’s no easy way to fix that. That’s the only drawback that I see. But it comes back to film making in the past that thing just had to be perfect during principle photography. And “not fix in post”. 😂
That was so incredible! Y’all are all so talented, I am blown away! If this was a full length movie I’d watch it. I was totally caught off guard by Martina’s “skjera bagera” line 😂 it was perfect though! ♥️
So im a professional filmmaker in the industry for about 8 years now. How the hell did it take 8 years to find you guys? Thats my favorite filmmaking channel atm! I love your insights and personalities! Soo sooo underrated, your channel should blow up to like 3million subs.
I have been following this channel for a year now, ever since Eskild was involved, and it has quickly become one of my favorite channels on the platform. It's truly amazing to witness how you guys consistently produce compelling content that keeps me hooked and coming back for more. As a filmmaker myself, I find it incredibly inspiring. I'm certain Eskild would be proud.
What a great collaboration! The end result is certainly topnotch 👏. But that “skjera bagera” 🤣. I can imagine Hansi and Martina using the short as their new introduction lol.
Finally, I understand some of the CG I watch so excitedly on fantasy films. Martina's castle has always been amazing. Seeing hey on hey own design was fantastic. How to see a lot more of these.
Absolutely fantastic, the artistry, technical skill, photography, lighting, models and props, but let's face it, it's Martina's beauty that brings the whole production to life.
That is a dream come true and to witness how all of you fully appreciate it is moving. Like many I'm sure I always wanted to make an epic story to share, for example, mine came up in a series of dreams that picked up the next night where the other left off. An enhanced superhuman warrior, but alone for millennia surrounded by fantastic creatures and landscapes, and there is love, invention, War, separation and epic love returning, and more, many of the scenes in mind have never been seen before in movies, and even now are halfway written somewhere...I'm over a half-century old now and can only come to terms with at least having the satisfaction of being able to create something like that but only in my mind. I had a brain injury that messed me up a long time ago during my college years and lost my gift to visualize with such clarity, but at least I enjoy what amazing advances exist nowadays. Feel blessed because you can make fantasy a reality. Congratulations to all. I'm sure you will achieve blinding heights.
That was just so amazing to watch it come together. Martina is such a beautiful woman and it was so satisfying seeing her being able to interact with many of her creations in a very "realistic" environment. Kudos to all of the production people that made it possible, from the lighting, camera, post work, props, and direction. Very nicely done!!
So happy to see this. More collaborations with Nerd Forge please. This is awesome!!! Everything was spot on. I would love to see this project flesh out.
I have no idea how this ended up in my feed but I want to Sub you all!! That was absolutely fantastic! The handmade castle is every nerd's dream to make and have. You made the digital and video work look far easier than I'm positive it really is. The fabrication of realistic stone was perfect and putting it all together is just off the chains! You know those people that you see do something amazing and you say "God I wish I had a fingernail of their talent..."? Those people are you!
AHHHHH!!!! We have been huge fans of @nerdforge forever. This was mind blowing to watch everything come together like this. So impressive. We will be following the rest of you as well now. Best content!
She looks so great, not only for her projects as builder and painter, but also as an actress. If she is a (main) character in a movie, I would watch it 😊
This is very cool! This blurs the boundaries between the areas of application of the abilities of different people and allows you to create something new and incredible. You can also use some of the scanned elements made by someone else's hands to break them into parts and print them on a 3D printer, combine real objects and virtual ones, achieving even greater interpenetration of realities .... And for the record - Martina is Great! She is the meticulous Demiurge of Little Worlds! All of you are Awesome! One of the most inspiring things I've seen in years!
I don't know if you're ever going to read this, but your videos always give me hope. I struggle with depression and with that motivation to continue to 'make films' ..hardly. Your videos give such a wholesome, warm.. passion vibe but also the real life of a production company.. I love what you do and show, please continue creating for this channel
For a couple of years I've thought that if the film industry in northern Europe wasn't getting Nerdforge to make their miniatures, they were overlooking an amazing resource.
the daytime stuff looked really good Anders and team! Those fake battlements really brought it all together. The night stuff, I would have probably motivated the lighting more with just the practicals and not as much moonlight as that tends to look artificial. I know you were struggling with space too there so still looked decent. Great video as usual!
@@Andyax BTW, a neat trick for "practical" lights is to have a monitor on the camera side of the set, link that into the scene and place a fire into the virtual set "behind" the monitor. That fire's light will show up in the background, and that second monitor will throw it onto the actor, too. The image on the monitor can be really low-res, e.g. 160p, so it's cheap to render.
I am from a generation that was devoid of most/all of the technology used today. So I am fascinated with both the technology and technicians who have mastered its use and use it to create in all genres from medicine & science to communication and art. I found this fascinating, thank you.
Andy I'm So Impressed by the Incredible Hollywood Grade Work you are doing!! This Project is Unbelievable Good!! I hope you can do a Full Feature Film using this Story and Techniques!! Im Beyond Proud and Amazed at what you have Accomplished in all the Years I've been following you since the Beginning 10 years ago!
Wow! This all is pretty badass! I've taken stage and set design in college. I'm loving how everyone contributed to this project. Love seeing the creative process behind the scenes. As a visual artist it's fun seeing all of the visual models and the way you went about filming it all. Great job! You've given me insight on how I can film a short film I have too.
The final cut was stunning. it was equally fascinating to see all of the development work that put this together. The camera tracking system with the virtual environment is super cool. I like the mix of virtual and real; showing the varied levels of artistry that are collected to produce the whole picture. well done.
My life is now complete. And for poor Aarons sake, next time I’d recommend that you also collaborate with Alexandre Chappel! TH-camr in Oslo with a proper workshop that would probably be down with making props or what you need, and I’d get to see more of my favourite Norwegians work together 😇
@@AaronWahab Ever since they locked you in the basement! At least after a couple of hours in it 😄 I say just contact the guy! The apartment is almost finished so he'll soon need some new fun project 😇 And please remember to smuggle me into that grand collab once it happens 😁
Haha no actually way before that! But we’ll have to see! But in all seriousness, the basement is great, just need to bring some more tools from the UK to be able to build better stuff. (But I do like showing what can be done with really basic tools too!)
Absolutely amazing. Whàt model builder would nòt want to walk around in his/her own model? The tools virtual production hands to all sorts of creative minds.... Mindboggling, and astonishing at the same time.

Wow, it looks amazing 👏.
That was epic
The ambitious project worked extremely well, congrats and well done! 🏆 Keep being ambitious and keep working with fabulously talented people and I believe you'll truly go far. 😁👍
Really assom...😲❤️❤️❤️🤩
As always, we had a blast working with you guys, and the end result looks amazing!! 🔥 Thanks for another great collab! 😁
That ending line Martina, shivers down my spine 😁
The catchphrase as the punch line 😂 I completely lost it.
Martina the movie star!
The blooper reel is funnier, hans climbing 😅.
Awesome Collab! 😊 Makes me want to try some virtual production with my minis :D
Hansi climbing the castle at the end was epic. Nothing stands in this mans way from getting to his princess. Video was super awesome. 10/10
Good thing she wasn't in another castle
Awww
Hansi is such a sweet guy!
This was such a fun project! Thanks so much for the collab! ❤
Love your work ✌️ I hope you will appear in more colabs in the future:)
man let me tell you this.. you're not awesome.. you're crazy awesome. I hope ill manage to possess this knowledge as much as you.
Everyone did a stunning job! But my favorite moment is this 30:27. Her expression and Hansi climbing were hilarious
As a set designer and a filmmaker this opens up so much potential.. getting to be in a miniature set u build in real time .. duuuude this is sick 🔥🔥🔥

Martina ist so skilled. Not only a builder or a painter, also an actress. I would watch a movie with her as lead character any time.
Right? I was like, how are you good at everything!? :P
This has to be a joke.
@@DannyJoe08 how??
I've said it before. Martina's work is fully production ready. She's truly amazing
You shouldn´t have done it. Now I want more movies starring martina in her fantasy world. What an awesome project!
Bro A-A ron is a real trouper, hes in the depths of darkness cranking out big blocks! A true team player!
Haha thanks man!

Wow, the end result is truly impressive. This fun little project goes waaaayy beyond a few test shots. This could be a teaser to a show…
You guys are killing it! This was a perfect collaboration. You’ve given me a ton of ideas to try out with my own virtual production journey 🔥
We are glad to hear that :) Good luck!
What a great collaboration! The end result is certainly topnotch 👏.

My God, what an incredible video and technology!! Thinking back as to how this channel has evolved -- just amazing!!
Thanks Rick!
Definitely want a full length movie now! I got goosebumps watching that!
This crossover was unexpected and absolutely legendary!
I think this was really awesome! I love Nerdforge, and to see one of their dioramas come to life was fantastic.
That is a dream come true and to witness how all of you fully appreciate it is moving.

OMFG that ending line made me bust out laughing! You always get something great with NerdForge! You guys made this look awesome!!!
I can NOT get over how epic this is! I love how everyone brought their strengths to make an incredible end product! Well done everyone :D
Martina fits real good with that viking look! Beautiful 😍
The result reminded me of the film 300...it looked amzing..
I see what you mean! Thanks :)
Okay the absolute BEST part of this is the parody of Rings of Power in the opening. Wonderful.
I love how Martina is having a nerdgasm at all your work.
So happy to see this. More collaborations with Nerd Forge please. This is awesome!!! Everything was spot on. I would love to see this project flesh out.
Amazing project. Staggered how far the tech has come in the past ten years. Martine is a talented actor too, it seems.
Passion and dedication that its put in the effort of one's resolve; when completed, is the greatest reward.
So many talented people.. damn, what a collaboration that was!
Thanks for all the insights. You guys are truly awesome!

I also loved seeing Martina use the shield and daggers she made 😂
AHHHHH!!!! We have been huge fans of @nerdforge forever. This was mind blowing to watch everything come together like this. So impressive. We will be following the rest of you as well now. Best content!

AWESOME, just plain AWESOME! Martina is such a natual on camera too! Stunning!
The collab we did not deserve but the world needed ❤❤❤❤
Martina looks awesome in her costume like this.
The end result brought tears to my eyes, then her final line made me laugh while I cried
Everything you do is a small project that is part of a master plan!
For a couple of years I've thought that if the film industry in northern Europe wasn't getting Nerdforge to make their miniatures, they were overlooking an amazing resource.
Podemos hablar del hecho de que este mini corto ha quedado mil veces mejor que las películas que salen últimamente?! Esto es super épico!!
absolutely incredible how a model so small still looks so good scanned and blown up to real size.
the daytime stuff looked really good Anders and team! Those fake battlements really brought it all together. The night stuff, I would have probably motivated the lighting more with just the practicals and not as much moonlight as that tends to look artificial.

I love that you showed the whole crew. That was great. More productions need to do this.
wow! Just wow. And i love Martinas face, when she see hre inside of castle.
Andy I'm So Impressed by the Incredible Hollywood Grade Work you are doing!! This Project is Unbelievable Good!! I hope you can do a Full Feature Film using this Story and Techniques!! Im Beyond Proud and Amazed at what you have Accomplished in all the Years I've been following you since the Beginning 10 years ago!
So amazing ! Now we want at least a movie !
The control over the lighting is so fascinating. But it also shows how much effort is required for just 1 minute of footage.
This is a high end result in a small room full of talented people, so inspiring.
Martina and Hans's work is paying off they're going to be movie stars Good job to all the guys that made this happen 0:03
I’m gonna cry!! This is the most beautiful thing ever
Only just found this -- it's charming and fascinating! The unexpected "skjera bagera" at the end was the icing on the cake. 🙂
~6:40 on point and makes a huge difference on the better contrast. Good stuff guys.
OMG! Beautiful people, beautiful technology, beautiful talent. After being a long-time Nerdforge fan, this is the collab I need. Thank you!!!!
This is so amazing, I'm speechless. From the making to the final results was MAJESTICALLY AWESOME. Everyone did an amazing job
That graded shot actually looked very convincing. Well done, everyone!
What a great video; an in-depth view from start to finish of virtual Production! HUGE THANKS!
I have never been disappointed by anything Nerdforge has posted, it's all good. But this. THIS. WAS. AMAZING. SO * censored * COOL!
Wow wow wow. The projector totally looks amazing!! Blown away guys!
From the creation of the mind to the creation of the heart, for the words spoken a masterpiece is born for what may follow a dream could come true.
Another masterpiece … I get inspired whenever I’m on your channel❤… Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Incredible video, and thank you for sharing. It's an exciting time to be alive.
I'm nothing but impressed and stunned by all the expertise and creativity shown in this video. Could watch a ton more of stuff like this.
Impressed that this was done with a projector rather than an LED screen wall. VP is so cool.
So cool that my favorite YTers are collaborating!!
Wow! This all is pretty badass! I've taken stage and set design in college. I'm loving how everyone contributed to this project. Love seeing the creative process behind the scenes. As a visual artist it's fun seeing all of the visual models and the way you went about filming it all. Great job! You've given me insight on how I can film a short film I have too.
One man's tech is another's magic. This was truly amazing to watch being created. O7 to you all.
Lol! Had to stop 45 secs in and immediately show some comment love for the soap opera opening credits!!! 😂
Sheesh this was amazing, can't believe you did all this just for a youtube video!
Amazing! Very cool collab
Martina just needs her own dragon next.
I expected something epic and you all went *far* beyond that. Wow... wow. Amazing!
Lost it at the last line!!! Incredible tech guys!
I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!!!! xD The moment they said "Just say something" I knew it had to be her usual greeting. Laughing my ass off right now. Love it.
The final cut was stunning. it was equally fascinating to see all of the development work that put this together. The camera tracking system with the virtual environment is super cool. I like the mix of virtual and real; showing the varied levels of artistry that are collected to produce the whole picture. well done.
How amazingly cool was that! Completely awestruck.
ありがとうございます！
William Faucher is a genius and you all are awesome
The final film gave me chills!!!
What a Finaly Result ! How long to wait for the full movie :) Really great job it's just incredible.
I really enjoyed the process and plqnning. The finished production was amazing. Look forward to where you go from here. Best wishes and stay safe J.
I cried!!!! so great and you deserve, all of this amazing team!!!
My life is now complete.

Fantastic work! So great to see such brilliant artists working together!
This was epic - thanks for sharing your experience, energy and creativity! Loved it!
The film fits so well for a movie trailer. Great Job
So cool!!!!! Martina’s a good actress!
This is the best youtube video I've watched in years. I felt like I was involved in the whole project.
WOW... That was awesome. Congratulation to all involved.
Incredible! Thanks for sharing your process. So fun to watch!!!
Don't stop delivering this outstanding content. We want more!
Omg! Not even into the video far and love the "soap opera" into and the music kinda carrying thru-out.
Outstanding production.😊❤❤
Absolutely amazing. Whàt model builder would nòt want to walk around in his/her own model? The tools virtual production hands to all sorts of creative minds.... Mindboggling, and astonishing at the same time.
