This is the most inspiring thing I've ever seen. One guy in a garage, an hour in after effects, and you created a shot you could slip right into Blade Runner.
This is exactly how old-school special effects and miniatures guys used to make models and effects for big budget movies - nothing too fancy, just lots of various junk from everyday life and bucket-loads of creativity.
Massive Blade Runner fan, this shot is better than most CGI shots these days, it feels so real, I always thought digital and practical effects would gel together, I hope there is a resurgence of practice and miniature effects in the future.
"It's little stories like that, that you want to tell, but no one will ever see them." Hilarious! This is superb and I appreciate the attention and love that was put into this. Too cool, sir. Too cool.
You know that I've reached the most awe inspiring point when I watch a master at work, and I have simultaneously the feeling of "I want to go home and practice" and "I'm out" at the same time! This was a 30 minute Masterclass!
Im obsessed with you guys! So innovative and brilliant! This is the POWER of imagination, dreams, determination. Most people complain about not having the right material, actors, money... doesn't matter.... just DO IT! There is always a way if you have the passion and imagination for it! Phenomenal job!
I edit my original comment and ending this inconsequential thread. Acting does matter and a lot. Bad vfx are tolerable, bad acting no. Second, equipment show in these video exceed the pay check of one year of salary of many actors in the world. Then, money matter to. VFX are not made of good will and are very expensive. There are nothing in this video that show lack or constrain of resources. Use of recycle materials are really common in many artistic disciplines. Last, obsessive youtubers are always suckers. Have a nice day.
@@pubdigitalix I believe what @mrKWJones meant was that not having actors (and other stuff) should not be used as an excuse. Of course acting matters but it should NOT prevent you from creating something.
@@pubdigitalix I think your getting your knickers in a twist based on a misunderstanding… The poster meant that you CAN produce SOMETHING whether or not you think you lack the means. Ingenuity, will and action will prevail whatever your means.
This is hugely inspiring. Thank you for keeping the magic of cinema alive and being willing to share all your secrets gained through what was clearly hours upon hours of hard work and trial and error. Might have to make my own miniature city now.
it really is isn't it, a dabbled all my life but now i am sat here thinking of upping my game now! i also collect interesting packaging, it's like ocd, then one day i make something and realise why i kept it! also, yes, mate do it, make one, post a video if you want, i will watch!
@@jibicusmaximus4827 I did in fact make a miniature for my film The Abduction of Nancy Watkins that you can find here on TH-cam. It’s not a miniature city but was still some fun!
That and 'now it looks interesting'. It works for them though. After watching these diaries and the short film itself, youtube sent similar recommendations my way. I have seen bigger, independent film making blogs and professional as they may be, they very often ignore the 'now it looks interesting' bit! These Croatian guys really have something special going on!
If you are a film maker on a budget you have to trick that guy to work for you for free, or other types of compensation that don't involve actual payment, like cheap hookers or if you're really broke, hand lotion.
This is incredible, the knowledge I've gained from this half-hour video is amazing. Concise, clear, you show us the important stuff without rambling on and on, so well done. I am in the process of starting my TH-cam endeavor, making short films (VERY short) of miniatures in scenes and settings, using gaming minis and terrain that I make and paint, to tell quick stories in a series. The info here has been most helpful, thank you all for making this.
I just finished my writing. I had a crazy realization that I could 3D print my landscapes and buildings, etc. AND THEN I find this video. Phenomenal. I’m gonna go watch the movie now. Just absolutely opened up more creative avenues of approach
"Hope You Learned Something" I learned a ton of info. Using the Cardboard box as the start, was new to me. You made it look easy, I love the practical over CGI built environment.
It's criminal you don't have more subscribers man. Production Diary is LEGIT, that is better than my cinematography classes ever were. Well f***ing done boys!
I was with you through the model building, painting, lighting, photography, etc. Thinking, "yeah, I could do that!" Then you started compositing and playing around with all those different little controls at lighting speed and … no, I don't think I could ever hope to do that. I mean, I bet I could learn the software enough in a couple years to do that one shot with a couple weeks of endless frustration, but not with that fluency and casual ease. Yikes! Great work.
Haha thanks! Well, to be honest this video is sped up at some points to flow better. I'm definitely not that fast in real life, and if you really do learn the software for a year or two you'll be able to get great results. If you really want to learn AE head over to Video Copilot page and learn from his tutorials. You'll be the master by the end! ;)
I absolutely love your work! You guys inspired me do build some miniatures myself. The moment it gets sprayed grey is so satisfying. I could watch your videos all day long if I haven't had a thousand fibre optic cables to install as lights inside of the miniatures, lol.
I don't know in what playlist to put this, because the gist of it can be used for ANY visual art form where you need to make props from scratch. Amazing.
Beautifully done! You let the good work, the process, and your clear description be the star of this feature without any gimmicks. I used to teach this content at a film school, and this was a real pleasure to watch. Congratulations to the whole crew.
Thank you so, so much for your release of the film (just watched, a few times, ha ha) and for this tutorial. A most informative and well explained outlay of talent. I have been following you for so many years now, and tonight was such a wonderful culmination, unexpected as well. I am sure you have created an entire generation of budding creators with your videos these past years, the love and energy of your work is palpable, and inspires. I cannot wait to see future work, you make the world a better place to be.
The film is excellent! You really nailed the dank, confused and dirty world Blade Runner is set in. I'm not a fan of the sequel, it just didn't work for me, but the world you build and show on screen, I totally buy that it's the same world Blade Runner is set in. Exceptional work, you should be proud. To quote Gaff, 'you've done a man's job'!
Miniature sets are very fascinating as there is a physical feel of shooting something real and then compositing later , its best of both worlds ! GREAT JOB
You're so right. It's like opening up a new and exciting world. Really amazing video. Thank you for such an informative and informative video. Keep up the good work and we really appreciate your dedication to the craft.
That was really informative, and very creative. I like how you made a big budget look with bits of discarded trash. I think you should be able to recycle everything and I love turning trash into treasure.

@@sliceoflifefilm >>> Definitely impressive! 👍👍
@@sliceoflifefilmyou’re talking so fast I’m having trouble keeping up I’m trying to learn here! 🤣 jk awesome job! 🤩
There is not enough likes to like this video this is the most amazing tutorial to make a movie scene
@sliceoflifefilm Would love to see exactly how you created the ads! Amazing!
31:26 "And nobody will ever see them" perfectly describes visual effects completely.
haha, yes...
I felt it soo deep in my heart. Ye, that's true
I dissagree. Even if most people dont actually notice most small details it still makes the shot subconciously much more convincing.
I always told my clients nobody will see the details unless they're not there.
@@derPetunientopf yes! the fine details are only noticed in their absence.
This is exactly how old-school special effects and miniatures guys used to make models and effects for big budget movies - nothing too fancy, just lots of various junk from everyday life and bucket-loads of creativity.
Kinda, yeah. But before CGI, people also worked with photo film instead of After Effects.
Don’t forget optical printers! (Argggghhhh i hated working with them)
@Writer B.L. Alley Really? Wow!
Yep. Almost all models in Star Wars are kit bash models. Same thing with original Blade Runner.
@Jason Lee Barnett Oh, I agree! In-camera over CGI any day!
Two and a half years of film school in less than 35 minutes. Well done!
that's good to know, i got no training and do similar things for fun, have done all my life in fact.
that wasn't meant to detract from this talented guy obviously, i am not a pro!
Massive Blade Runner fan, this shot is better than most CGI shots these days, it feels so real, I always thought digital and practical effects would gel together, I hope there is a resurgence of practice and miniature effects in the future.
Thanks for making this 😍

haha thank you. yea I always feel like that when I work on details , who's gonna see that=?? :D
Yo my Cajun brother. I'm in lake Charles lol

Calling this fascinating would be a complete understatement!
A comment like this makes us proud! ;)
This is what is meant do be FILMMAKING. you guys should open a "Miniature Film-making Company". MfC. Just like ILM for cgi.
Im obsessed with you guys! So innovative and brilliant! This is the POWER of imagination, dreams, determination.

Stan Wilson has nothing on these guys. Love this channel leaned so much for stop motion movies I’m marking
Wow! One day I want to give this a go.
Lloyd, you're a legend!
I had no idea about the "Slice of Life". This video was fed to me by TH-cam and I am happy that is was.
Glad to hear that! Thanks for watching!
Luka Hrgovic's One Day Builds: Blade Runner Buildings :D
Hahah... Sounds familiar! :D
I can not describe how brillant this filmmaking documentation is
The true genius here is how such simple concepts were combined to make this beautiful throwback. There is a bright mind behind this
I love miniature effects!
“This video tutorial, whatever it is”. Love it.
This is how it should be done! Real filmmaking!
Thanks a lot Richard!

Just pure eyegasm watching all of this miniature effects, its good to have you all back again
The whole time while watching this video I was like "Wow what the hell, that's freaking amazing!" You are freaking talented!
"I don't even know what this is, but it looks useful."
The mantra of every physical effects artist.
That and 'now it looks interesting'. It works for them though. After watching these diaries and the short film itself, youtube sent similar recommendations my way. I have seen bigger, independent film making blogs and professional as they may be, they very often ignore the 'now it looks interesting' bit! These Croatian guys really have something special going on!
I come back to this every now and then just to get inspired.
This is without a doubt, the most fascinating video I've seen on TH-cam. Thanks so much for posting it. Really inspirational stuff!
Magnificent ! Old school filmmaking !
❤️this is what i call passionate filmmaking
Looks far, far better than CGI
This video is a master class of vfx, miniatures (art's department), compositing and direction of photografy in one, thanks guys
Haha, glad you liked it!!
Guy just dropped a master class....best on youtube by far
Has Ridley Scott seen this film using old school techniques?! I’m sure he would be impressed! 😍
Admirable. Definitivamente son unos especialistas, mis respetos.

Our pleasure! Thank you for taking the journey with us! ;)
I've never felt so unskilled in my life. This was amazing to see.
Never worked on post production so I'm getting quite an education.
Awesome work! Very inspirational.

You are welcome Russel!! Glad it was of help! ;)
Your plot element regarding the traffic and the two drivers nearly getting into a physical altercation was funny as hell. Amazing video.

I was studying this for the last 5 years, why is this better presented than all my lections combined ?
