dude this whole thing is amazing!! i love the dedication to taking the time to do it right. that wide shot looks like a painting. and the tweezers joke got me
I love scratch building miniatures I also love Japan and the carpentry of Shinto Shrines. This was an absolute joy to watch from start to finish!! Subbing 100%
Thank you!!! I got my start as a VFX artist over 30 years ago when the transition to digital was happening. I got to meet some of the best model makers and Matte painters in the business and even was lucky to stop by Disney's matte painting department before they shut down. Where they had dozens of paintings from Mary Poppins to the black hole... You are true artist! And I hope you keep inspiring a new generation..
wow! It must have been magical to meet all these people and see their techniques! Very happy to hear you like our work! We are trying our best to use that knowledge for our work! Thanks for watching!
You guys are DIY Filmmaking legends! So inspiring & always a huge fan of the amount of realism & fine details you put in to create artistic, stylized & aesthetically pleasing shots! Would love to see you guys tackle a Heavy Metal magazine vibed Sci Fi Fantasy Space Epic miniature filmmaking content in the future!
i loved your open as it is masterful. Your boards are impressive as well but I think a fast dissolve would work with your material so much better than a hard cut.Then again what the hell do I know right?
Awesome work! The right side of the painting looked very real, but the clouds on the left side looked more like a painting. If you get the left side more detailed and set the painting back some to blur the background more, I think nobody would be able to tell it was a miniature.
You guys are town bomb when it comes to craft. This is just what I been dreaming to see. I wish I could easily get to meet you guys, cause I am a script writer, actor, and a director with so many talents (not trying to brag) but I have put more time to be a better actor who can fit in any capacity. I love to be around like-minded people, but, the environment I found myself is kind of hard to move with low minded people. How do you think I could get in touch with you guys?
we started without one as well. Just did static shots. Then I built our first moion control slider from one stepper motor and an old slider. it worked ok :D
Don't ever stop making projects. You're incredibly good at what you do, and filmmaking desperately needs more miniature and practical work in a world unnecessarily dominated by CGI
There’s really nothing that I can say, that hasn’t already been said. You guys put Hollywood to shame. You work with virtually no budget, and produce shots that surpass productions with millions of dollars at their disposal. Very very well done gentlemen.
This channel has had a profound impact on my life and the direction I’m taking my own work-many decisions I’ve made about my new workshop were made because of their videos.
Oh wow thank you! That's so awesome to hear!!! I just saw your latest video of your workshop and it seems like you have a great space in the making!! I'm also in the process of renovating my own shop, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with yours! Good luck! ;)
Lindybeige! This is quite an honor! Been a fan of your videos since forever! I used "screen blending" mode in after effects. I didn't go into much detail because I talked more about it in one of our past videos. ;) Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/XJUHbdE0Dmg/w-d-xo.html
The way everything comes together is almost so poetic, obviously there are many film making and tutorial channels that I respect in TH-cam but this channel feels like a history tv documentary show you know, aghhh people! understand the efforts behind this channel so that this channels grows to the level it deserves, the short films documentaries and behind the scenes are exceptionally crafted, hoping you get selected to the biggest of the biggest film festivals 😃
Yes! Its me again! Yes I just commented on your last video... beside the point. This video is AMAZING! There is a lack of creativity in the world and I have deemed you fellas to hold the torch for our need! Dont let us down! Looking forward to a video every week! The world is counting on you!
I went to film school, grew up on practical film making, and even dabbled with miniatures and stop motion at times. I stumbled across your how to type of videos just last night and am so excited to start trying my hand at miniatures in filmmaking and explore what I love about storytelling and film. So excited to start creating. Thank you so much for such great resources. This is invaluable. You’re work is incredible. I’ve been ranting and raving about it all day today to different people making plans for starting small, but starting. Thank you!
This is currently my favorite film youtube channel! You guys are such an inspiration and every second of your videos are jammed packed with knowledge! As I grow as a director and DP I hope to learn your creativity and scrappiness to get exceptional projects done!
Ovo je nevjerojatno, stvarno stvarate nevjerojatne svjetove. Iskreno, ne znam koji bolje izgleda, dojo ili futuristički grad iz Slice of lifea. Ponosan sam što ovakvi projekti dolaze iz HR. Nadam se da ćete ostati primjećeni na festivalima, keep up the good work!!
Your skill in getting every dollar up 'on the screen' is admirable! The end result is a million dollars! (And it only cost $99, 999?) ha ha. Your eye for detail shows, (as it did in Slice of Life) and this attention to detail pays off, from your superb storyboarding images, the miniature furniture and props, to the tiny incremental changes in final shooting. Congrats on another incredible, truly worthwhile project, that will hopefully inspire some future artisans.
I honestly can't decide if the final films or your "making of" vids are more entertaining, but while the jury is out on that one, please keep these little masterpieces coming! 😍🙏🏼
I know exactly how you feel Lasse, I re-watch the 'Making of' clips for 'Slice of Life' probably more often than watching the actual film itself. There is so much joy, love and skill in what Luka and his cohorts do, and in genres close to my heart, that it just makes me happy to watch anything associated with the work.
I have followed you for quite some time. Thank you for the inspiration and congratulations on the success of your films and, especially, on being steadfast in pursuing your passion. You inspire me more than you know. I am an aspiring spfx artist. I have much less funding than you. I turned my entire living room into a filming studio. I built an overhead rig that spans the entire width of the room from which I can hang any equipment. I fabricated my own manual dolly system that works very well. I share your passion for this and am very grateful that I can witness your accomplishments. I was wondering which motion control slider did you use. I assume the camera was a black magic?
Hey thanks a lot for the nice message! Yes we use a black magic pocket 6k. Our slider is Ditogear, but I think that company is not working anymore. I wish you tons of luck with your projects and just keep creating! All the best, Luka
Sir your miniatures and painting are superb. However just my opinion: the end result still somehow looks like a cgi-ish video game. It just doesn’t feel like a dojo is actually there.
This is incredible guys! Thank you for showing your process. You’ve seriously inspired me to level up my miniature filmmaking game even further. Beautiful work!!
As a filmmaker I just can’t get enough of all your artistic, practical work. DON’T EVER STOP!
thanks!!! We'll try not to :D
I wholeheartedly agree! I love the stuff they do.
dude this whole thing is amazing!! i love the dedication to taking the time to do it right. that wide shot looks like a painting. and the tweezers joke got me
Wasn't funny to me!!! haha :P
I love scratch building miniatures
I also love Japan and the carpentry of Shinto Shrines.
This was an absolute joy to watch from start to finish!!
Subbing 100%

There are a lot to learn from not just miniature hobby but also a professional artist. Thank you very much for this knowledge. Love it
I’m SO impressed!
This isn’t film making, it’s making magic happen!
The final result really excels in displaying all your hard work and skill. Congratulations top class work.
Thank you very much!
It's like rendering out light passes in 3d, beautiful!!
but better!! hahah
i don't even make movies, but this, the whole process, and of course the end result is amazing!!
Lovely work! and the eagle sfx at the end was the cherry on top. :)
Thank you very much!
Lighting matches so well! Great work, so inspired here!!

Amazing work as always! Love the breakdown of the different passes and compositing
True cinematic magic, I´m in awe
Superthanks!
This Level of mixture between style and realism you cant get with Blender.
Everything works so well in this video, just a really artistic feel to it. Fantastic!
Thank you very much!
One of my favourite filmmaking channels, love your work.
Thanks a lot! ;)
That t-shirt! Hair of the dog, Nazareth! ❤
Yeaaaa! Great album! Great band! 😉❤
Masterful!
This is amazing man. I am floored on how cool this turned out!!!
Thanks a ton, man! :D
This came out beautiful, thank you for sharing!
Thank you! 😊
After watching a few of your videos, it's time to subscribe! I hope your subscribers shoot up. Love the artistry.
Thanks a lot! Welcome aboard!
You guys know what the word CINEMA means! 👏👏👏
Can't wait to see your what you will create for your new project. You are so talented !
Unreal, just beautiful work guys!
Thanks a ton!
Great work! Remembering how to set up equipment last used two years ago- I can totally relate.
You guys are absolute genius and craftmasters! Inspiring as always
Thank you Ben! Cheers!
You guys are truly amazing .
3:30 Funny funny, an OCD perfectionist.
This is very beautiful. What a strong opening and lovely miniature work.
Fantastic work. The entire project is beautiful.
i loved your open as it is masterful. Your boards are impressive as well but I think a fast dissolve would work with your material so much better than a hard cut.Then again what the hell do I know right?
Bravo. Thank you so much for these, they are WONDERFUL
своими видео вы возрождаете у меня любовь к производству
Awesome work! The right side of the painting looked very real, but the clouds on the left side looked more like a painting. If you get the left side more detailed and set the painting back some to blur the background more, I think nobody would be able to tell it was a miniature.
very creative!
Imagine if these guys get a 1 million dollar funding. Oh lord, what could they achieve?
If you know someone with a million to spare, you know where we are! 🤣❤
amazing results!
Thank you! Cheers!
You guys are amazing! 👌👏👏
Another great, enjoyable, insightful, entertaining video with an awesome outcome! Love it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great work ! As always 🔥⚡️👌🏼
Great work !!!
This is amazing and inspiring
Thanks!
This is wonderful! Thanks a lot for the inspiration!
Thank you for watching!
Fantastic!
excellent job
Thank you very much!
First time here, Subbed amazing work. So Organic
Namaste
Dave Ross
Masterpiece!
Thank you Richard!! Good to hear from you! ;)
Top Shelf - AGAIN!
love you guys.you are awesome
i would all a lil bit of wind and a good amount of cherry blossom leaves flowing in the estublishing shot.
Yes! I was a little bit too purist here, but it would definitely give more life to the shot! Perhaps some birds too! ;)
You guys are town bomb when it comes to craft. This is just what I been dreaming to see.

Hi! What light did you use for the sun by the way please? Looks really like a cool effect to have the sun behind the tree ☀️😁
Google '150w dedolight'. We always use them for miniature work, you can control rays of light very nicely with them. ;)
@@sliceoflifefilm pretty cool. I will check it out. Thank you!
f..king great!
Awesome 👌 guys
Wow!
Unbelievable! 👍
Wanting things to be symmetrical isn't OCD
(The videos awesome though)
so for the dark shots, did you just bring the exposure way down or what?
Don't remember anymore, haha.. Probably just used only half of the passes so it looks darker
wow!! 👏👏👏
'Shibumi'
A-ma-zing❤❤❤
Check, check, check 😃 - I can do this! - oh, motion control slider 🥴 Don't have one of those...
we started without one as well. Just did static shots. Then I built our first moion control slider from one stepper motor and an old slider. it worked ok :D
Wow! Absolutely beautiful! You are a master. Sensei even 🫶🏻💕
Don't ever stop making projects. You're incredibly good at what you do, and filmmaking desperately needs more miniature and practical work in a world unnecessarily dominated by CGI
No worries. We're working on new cool stuff! More videos coming!
Well said. As a kid of the 70s I miss all that. Even miniatures that didn't quite work still felt more real that CG.
There’s really nothing that I can say, that hasn’t already been said. You guys put Hollywood to shame. You work with virtually no budget, and produce shots that surpass productions with millions of dollars at their disposal.
Very very well done gentlemen.
Very much appreciated! ;)

You neglected to mention HOW you added the passes together. Some sort of colour addition? Luminance addition? Transparent overlay?
Lindybeige! This is quite an honor! Been a fan of your videos since forever!
I used "screen blending" mode in after effects. I didn't go into much detail because I talked more about it in one of our past videos. ;) Here's the link: th-cam.com/video/XJUHbdE0Dmg/w-d-xo.html
yes how did you composite it all... would like to see that
Magical, just beautiful!!!
Looks amazing! 😍
Feeding the algorithm. Criminally under-subscribed channel. Your presentation style is great!
Yeeees! Let's feed the damn algorithm! 😂
As I know Google are expert at hiding and destroying channels, I agree this channel deserves so much more exposure
The way everything comes together is almost so poetic, obviously there are many film making and tutorial channels that I respect in TH-cam but this channel feels like a history tv documentary show you know, aghhh people! understand the efforts behind this channel so that this channels grows to the level it deserves, the short films documentaries and behind the scenes are exceptionally crafted, hoping you get selected to the biggest of the biggest film festivals 😃
Thank you Ganesh!
Beautifully Done. You guys are GREAT!!!!
This is just unbelievably impressive work gentlemen
Amazing work! That establishing shot of the building is absolutely stunning.
So good. Great framing (thank fu** for OCD) and model work. The colours look fantastic too. Very satisfying to look at.
Haha yes... OCD saved the day!
As a VFX supervisor for 15 years I must applause your work!! Very well done and inspiring in this age of CGI!!!
Wow, thank you for the kind words! Means a lot! ;)
Yes! Its me again! Yes I just commented on your last video... beside the point. This video is AMAZING! There is a lack of creativity in the world and I have deemed you fellas to hold the torch for our need! Dont let us down! Looking forward to a video every week! The world is counting on you!

You guys are very impressive and go to extremes to get the shot you want. Respect.
Dajte ljudi, ova videa moraju trajati bar sat vremena :D
haha, uf, onda bi ih radio po 7 godina. 🤣
Heck yeah! Final video! this whole series has been great! And what a great cause to do this for!
Thanks a lot! I might actually squeeze one more video out of it, haha.. We'll see !
Killing it!
Keep it up Please.
Thanks

@@brettsalter3300 I do as well.
Watched all the episodes now I want to make movies... thank you so much this is really great work! The little judokas will sure have enjoyed it!
Wow, amazing!!!! You guys are awesome 👏 What camera did you use?
Thank you! We use Blackmagic pocket 6K ;)
OMG, You guys are great. Thank you for this video, I just got my first studio and to see this video is so Inspiring 🔥

Absolutely incredible work. Thanks for showing this process.
Awesome video. Super ste 👌👍🙌😊
Fala stari! ;)
Sir your miniatures and painting are superb. However just my opinion: the end result still somehow looks like a cgi-ish video game. It just doesn’t feel like a dojo is actually there.
Can we make movie like this like Hollywood movies with low budget
We can always try! ;)
If i had the money i would give it to you guys to make bigger movies ♥️
Time to start playing the lottery then, haha! Thanks ;)
This is incredible guys! Thank you for showing your process. You’ve seriously inspired me to level up my miniature filmmaking game even further. Beautiful work!!
Creating details barely seen or noticeable in the final is a kind of creative creators’ default.
I LOVE your guys work!!! can't stop watching your videos!
