- In this video I go over a little bit of how I light and film my dioramas cinematically. At the end I show one technique with just an iPhone camera that has great results, so you can get started on a budget!

An interesting look behind the scenes. I wish the jump from filming with my phone to an actual decent camera setup wasnt more than a house payment :-D. But some good info on using the phone. Cheers!
Haha I wish it was cheaper too! Appreciate it!
Haha, so true, plus expensive equipment are so overwhelming. After putting all that hard work in creating the model, and if the video quality is poor, it’s a punch in the gut, Sigh!
PLEASE CAN YOU DO THE LIVING ROOM IN THE 2nd CONJURING MOVIE. Including the recliner chair next to the stairs of the old man who says “This is my house, get out now!”
Outstanding! As a miniature builder myself, I find your work both, intimidating and inspiring. I hope to one day achieve your level of skill.
And, on that note, yes, I would definitely, very much, like to see a "deeper dive" into how you shoot your diorama builds.
In fact, I just subscribed, and clicked my very first bell on TH-cam, (after discovering you while looking for that very video, and watching many of your videos since), so I'll be sure not to miss it when you post it.
I haven't built anything in over a decade, and just set my shop for the first time since my last build. But now that I'm getting close to retirement age, I'm looking for something I can do at home, to supplement my meager social security, in the hopes that I can retire with a profitable hobby to keep me from eating cat food and/or going insane.
That's where you come in...
Hey, thanks for sharing. Seriously, I am blown away by your work.
Would love to see you replicate the batcave from Batman 1989. 👍🏻
Amazing setup and awesome work!
I appreciate it, I’m loving your repainting masks videos!!
@@AbandonedMiniatures Thanks!
The first thing i noticed is the calmness you breath. I watched some adhd filmtographers on yt and they get me hyped and then nothing! But you are really calm and easy to watch
100% Genuine personality > fake bs everytime.
Nice dude, thanks so much for taking the time to share. It's awesome knowing things like this.
Thanks for watching!
I love your work the kind of detailing and footage quality that you achieve is amazing. I would like to see more behind the scene how to capture miniature models in a cinematic way. It’s a real struggle, especially without expensive equipment. This video helps, and hope to see more content like this. Thank you so much 🙌🏽
Oct. 2, 2021---Thanks for this and your other videos. You're doing what I want to do, but in 1/35 scale for some zombie/ apocalypse dioramas. And I understand how you can accumulate stuff over a period of years. Got into model building back in '74 and quit about 20 years ago. But once I saw others building zombie/apocalypse dioramas, I was hooked and haven't looked back. When I quit modeling for awhile, had 1,500 unbuilt kits and resin, fantasy figures. With my new interest, it's running around 1,900? Been sked to post a video of them, but the only camcorder I have is a 8mm one that uses cassettes. But I did pick up a Nikon P900 after seeing YT review videos on it. That's because of its macro ability. When I can zoom in a quarter that's in focus, I'm happy.
It looks like entrance of the house from resident evil 7
Create a kitchen Resident Evil-7
The model miniature you are using in the shot looks exactly like the guest house from Resident Evil 7 at the beginning of the game. Did you intend it that way?
Yup, there’s a video all about it on my channel!
Super glue accelerator is VERY TOXIC and is banded from many studio because of it’s know toxicity and there are more friendly alternatives such as tiny amounts of water or baking soda can crystalize super glue into harder form. Keep in mind- no matter the accelerant used on CA (super) glues - the fumes from the reaction are toxic too. In fact CA glues can have an intensely fast thermal action and smoke when in contact with porous materials like wool or substances like a lot of water. Use care, ventilation and fresh air.
Do you have the 3D files for the wheelchair, sinks, stove and fridge that I could buy? I din't see them in your website.
I am working on a wheelchair I will have for sale sometime in the future, but the other pieces from this project were random, purchased from Amazon. There are a lot of different pieces to buy online, 1/12 scale dollhouses are a popular size
What app did u use for the iphone shot
I love seeing behind the scenes stuff like this. It's so cool just seeing how much time and effort goes into doing what you love.
Thank you for that awesome info🤘🏻 I would love to know where you bought that nice lamp behind you. That’s the perfect kind of lamp I need 😊
It’s the Phive LED Task Light, link is in the description!
@@AbandonedMiniatures yay thank you!!
is it the resident evil 7 scene?
The shorter depth of field of the probe lens on such a large sensor camera gives it away that the scene is a miniature. If you filmed a full-sized table in a room, the background wouldn't be thrown that much out of focus, even if you shot wide open, which you never would do for that kind of shot anyway. So the cell phone camera has a more realistic DOF. Of course the cell phone has annoying sharpening artifacts and is rendering more detail (which can be good or bad), since it's all in focus.
Amazing work. Besides a 3D printer, what types of material do you use to build your miniatures? And what stores can you get these materials from?
Thanks in advance.
Your channel is Amazing! 👍🤩 One question... do you offer your models for sale?
Thank you so much this info was so helpful. Always really great videos!!!
Hi sir I'm a new subscriber..your video is amazing.. what do you call the spray that you use as fog effect on this video?thank you
Do you use LUTs when shooting? If so what do you like looking at? I like atmospherics but those rooms you are shooting in are really dusty!
impressive, just like a scene from resident evil 7: biohazard
Woah.
Wow that's incredible work!! Do you have one where you've done the sets from the movie "The thing" John Carpenter's movie
Im a graffitti artist whos into dioramas and filming them. Thisssssssss was pure gold. Thanks a lot G
Thank you for this video. it helps al lot for my next steps. :-)
Stop talking in Starde Filmen voll stop
How much did the resident evil production company pay you for that shot?
Some equipment is essential to get a specialty shot. But a lot of the time expensive equipment is only designed to make things easier. So if you do a certain thing a lot, then go buy that piece of equipment that will take the pain out of it. But other than that their are very few pieces of video gear that I would class as ESSENTIAL.
Thanks for your introduction to some very interesting technology. Would like to use some of your methodologies to photograph model train dioramas. We will stay tuned.
My first slider was an old HO train car on some track that I stapled to a two by four. It worked out better than I expected.
I’m loving this channel.
Haha gotta start somewhere!
What did you use for the 200D modifier? To make the light narrow
Hi, where did you buy the power desk stand,? I didn't see that in the description, thanks!
very cool
Appreciate it!
Love your work, and the powered standing desk is an amazing idea. I might have to look into one just for this reason!
Amazing Job looks so good 🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥🙌🏻🙌🏻🖤🖤
Great work man, thanks for sharing how you do it all, and thank you for the great tips! Incredible work and incredible cinematography!
Excellent building skills with atmospheric results. Nice to see the inspector making a contribution. Thanks for the brilliant video.
Is it possible to film a person and a miniature separately and combine the two?!? Like make it look like the person is in the miniature?!?
I have an old 16mm camera that has parallax viewing. Are there any affordable tools aout there that can be used to compensate for the parallax once your field of view has been established? As an example let's say that the parallax is one inch to the righ and one inch down. Are there any tools that can be used to adjust the camera to that exact measurement to make sure that the lens is seeing what you originally framed up in the parallax viewfinder?
Hello! What kind of spray bottle did you use to achieve that god rays effect?
Sorry for being out of context, I really thought that was a mic cover 🙏
Super cool! What is the spray can you use for the smoke effect?
37' : i actually thought this is "cheap" gear ahah. I have the same kind of gear (FX6/A7S3, and loads of accessories, lenses, lights, sound, machinery...). Cinema gear, to achieve the same result, would be 10x more expensive.
and BTW, great work ! the miniature is insanely detailed. if i did not see the BTS shot before, i would have been tricked for sure.
Great vid! Please make more videos about your prod and post-prod process!
I would love to see your take on the Spencer mansion from resident evil 1 games
Can you recreate the American horror story house from season 1? When it’s abandoned
Great video and very interesting to see how much work goes not only into your beautiful and detailed dioramas but also into the filming. Awesome end results. Thank you and I hope you'll never run out of ideas for more dioramas.
Great advice and presentation! Thanks very much for this!
Nice work sir. Sir can i shoot miniature diorama with 24 fps
The Google Pixel 8's can lock without aps now sot hat's cool!
I've got the STIGA table - now I just need the rest :P
Thank you for taking the time to share your craft and passion. Excellent info here! Cheers ~ Boomer.
Have you played visage? U should def do a room from that game!
Nice video! What are you using to create the fog? Thx u
Thanks for the great tips. I look forward to trying some out on my channel.
خذذذذذذ لاااااييييييك على ابداععععك
If there's only a way to put people in the miniature sets
I want to start doing diorama where can I start from ?
wow great job
this is absolutely incredible.
pretty cool!
well done you deserve more viewers !
Cool. Can you speak to the advantages/joy of filming dioramas vs. say creating a 3D digital world? I'm considering going the diorama path with a project
This...IS SO COOL
Thanks man!! Been watching your channel personally for a while 🤘
Es muy loco y súper realistas
What's that spray exactly?
Amazing work! I want to say that placing your light further away will better emulate the sun's nearly parallel rays coming thru the window...but between the fact that so many shows and films are lit similarly (of course on larger scale) and the diverging beams being a stylistic choice.. Idk if it's worthwhile advice 🤔🤷♂️
Regardless, very inspiring work
Yeah, there IS difference between professional and phone camera. Phone's shoot looks a bit more simple and not so natural, but it's still great, if diorama itself made very well.
Thank you for behind the scenes, in your videos we see how much work to make a scene, but now we can see another meaning part of creation your wonderful result. It's very interesting! But we don't know first part of this journey. Do you making sketches or some sort of blueprints or anything else?
So amazing, looks so good
The Brothers Quay left me here.
Very inspiring thanks
The things and the handmade effects and costumes are still way better than CGI's nowadays.. 😌
Thanks for this! I have been dreading even attempting to photograph some miniatures for a one time project. Now I am a bit more confident trying to use my phone instead of selling my first born to buy some equipment.........
Super helpful video! I appreciate you taking the time to talk about beginners and effects you can create with limited resources.
Question; what video editing software do you use to process your raw footage to what we see here on your channel? Thanks in advance!
Davinci Resolve and Adobe Premiere
@@AbandonedMiniatures Thanks for the reply! Did you self train on these softwares? Which is the best for beginners in your opinion?
Could you potentially piece all of these dioramas together creating the entire house in R.E.7?
Make next up an saw room
You have excellent insight! I really believe that the minatures is only part of the battle. I believe the rest relies on the camera equipment, the filtering, the lighting and acceptable angles.
Thanks for sharing, I've been loving your work. This might make me finally bite the bullet on the probe lens! :)
VERY GOOD JOB !
Can you tell which snoot is on the Aputure Amaran 200D?
The result is astonishing. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
It’s just a cheap one from Amazon. Almost any attachment with a Bowen’s mount will work on the 200D
Thank you!
Si mi pana lanzate con mas videos de este tipo están uffff super demasiados buenos...
This looks so good! Great work
supper brother
The chairs seem off to me.
What you could do is triple the frame rate using generative frames and triple the movement speed of the slide. That would help make the fog appear to move slower.
Technology at the service of art ...Superb!👍
This is fascinating!
I've been wanting that lowa macro probe for a few years ever since it was released but could never justify the price vs how niche it is. I think you just sold me another lense lol
Excellent job!
Thanks for the tips!
Hella cool bro!
Amazing bro!!!!!
Just found your channel today and love what I’m seeing. This is next level work! Can’t wait to watch everything. Thanks for the detailed breakdown since I’m also a photographer.
Amazing 👍👍👍
😇👽🪬♾️❤️🌹😈
This is just so Wonder bro. Wow. I am blown away by this
Wow. That's a pro setup for sure and your videos show in quality!
Super cool!
