To be honest, when people copy a Hollywood effect (like miniature effects), most of the time it's completely underwhelming. Yours is honestly the best I've ever seen. It's very good!
@@SteveRamsdenTH-cam Curious. Do you get hired by film studios to help with some s-f/x scenes? Very nice work by-the-way. That's impressive and very influential. Thanks!
@@hughdismuke4703 Thanks, so far it’s mostly been VFX for my own projects and I’m mostly hired on other productions as a director, cameraman and/or editor 👍
Bro I became your biggest fan just seeing this single video. You should go to the big level...all the best love from India...expecting more videos like this bro
Good stuff! Instead of rolling in on the slider, did you consider just zooming in from a wider shot in post? You’d lose resolution, but save a lot of hassle.
Ive officially add Steve as one of my favorite channels I just keep coming back to this channel. Great great work thank you so so so much your the man.
This is sick. I would like to see how you would tackle creating things for a movie set in the post apocalypse. It would be hard to make a low budget movie set in this environment, but I feel like you could pull it off.
This has been on of best tutorial I have ever seen.. Been able to explain in details is much appreciated... I think you got it all and you deserve my subscription... Piximperfect is my giant at Photoshop and I think I have to make you my Giant at Video editing too... I hope to learn more from you.. Thanks !!!
Hey Steve. I’m having a go at filming an x wing and tie fighter using a green screen and a slider. I’m going to ad a space background in post. How should I light the ships? Should I light them at all? They look way to bright for the background. Cheers mate.
I'd say use a single light source (so it looks like a bright star / sun) and if it looks too bright, close your iris right down (to a high F number) which will also bring more of the models into focus 👍
So good! I’m going to be shooting a short film where I have to use what is essentially a dollhouse to represent the exterior of the main character’s home. I have to do a push in with the camera and transition through the living room window into the first floor living space. Any tips..?
Steve, I am interested how you integrate video shot at say 50 or 60 fps, that is going in to a timeline where other footage is perhaps 25 fps? This is to say do you do anything to footage with a high frame rate, prior to using it in a composite with a conventional frame rate? Thank you.
Yes, most edit programs will allow you to convert the footage to the correct frame rate for your timeline without actually altering the original clip. I use Premiere and it works like this: Right Click on the original clip > Modify > Interpret Footage, and then where it says 'assume this frame rate' you type in the frame rate you want the clip to display as, which for me is usually 25 👌
The best example of it is lord of the rings movies, many things of them were miniature models like cities and other architecture and landscape elements
*The welding sparks were too big...* They should be as big as the man doing welding... But you made them 2 or 4 times bigger, which make me feel something is wrong... Also the other sparks in the beginning could be little bit smaller... Overall composition is good
Ah, but the thing about miniature scale is that sometimes they have to be a little bigger than they are in reality to “read” correctly onscreen. I remember during the mkaing of The Phantom Menace, artist Doug Chiang saw bird poop (yes, stick with me) getting painted on certain parts of the building. To him they looked too large, but the artists assured him that they would look fine through the camera. And indeed, they did. This is all a long winded way of explaining that I didn’t even notice the size of welding sparks, the scale didn’t really bother me.

I second that

It makes you want to build a miniature set really urgently, doesn't it?
Fantastic work!
It really does!
Haha me too, many thanks
I am the 69th like
4:48 now this was hard asfff !!!
Woooow! Those light flashes, sparks and workers really tied everything together and sold it to me! GREAT work!💯🔥
Many thanks!
It's mind blowing how good we can do things with miniatures.
I love this idea because I love the craftsmanship of making and designing a model with your hands.
The model looks huge, is there a video of you building it ?
@@walsh1 Thanks, I do build models but I didn't build this one! It was already built and I just filmed it for this experiment
How does it feel to have just earned another enthusiastic subscriber? Well done.
Absolutely astonishing
Bro I became your biggest fan just seeing this single video. You should go to the big level...all the best love from India...expecting more videos like this bro
Its amazing how far we have come and what can be achieved at home providing you are willing to put in the time.
Steve you are such a likeable person. You have a true vocation for film effects and a genuine talent. Very inspiring and clear to understand.
Love that you added that tiny tech that was welding. I just thought it was so funny and clever!
Good stuff!

Great to hear!
Awesome. I’m going to go through your courses. I’ve been meaning to get back into filmmaking.
Loved it! Steve, your creativity with AE is next level my friend!
Thanks, very kind
The finished shot looked amazing 🤩👍🏼
Many thanks!
Steve, your work amazes me so much....❤️❤️
Good work! My only critique is the JJ flare, as it seems unmotivated from any light source on screen.
lets go new steve ramsden video
This looks great, and the extra details really tie it together. Great video tutorial!
Awesome tutorial
Unbelievable - great result
Fantasic steve as usual keep up the great work
simply dope. hope you are still making videos
Thanks, more coming soon when I'm not so busy!
Just one word for you "Awesome" Keep it up 👍🏻
I have a question. can you do the same with say a playground or your apartment? make yourself seem very small while your surrounding space is HUGE?
This is sick. I would like to see how you would tackle creating things for a movie set in the post apocalypse. It would be hard to make a low budget movie set in this environment, but I feel like you could pull it off.
Thank you l your follower from Iraq 🇮🇶🇮🇶
I absolutely love this!
Nicely done! More miniature effects, please! :)

One word just wowwwwwwwwwww bro that's so amazing 👍
Interesting as always, I tried to do minature sets with the old VHS camcorder years ago, needless to say it did not turn out so well
STEVE always my fave.. in Movie maker 👏👏👏🌷
VERY COOL... give me some ideas for a Star Trek fan film I plan on making in Georgia... I'm gonna need a big hanger scene... Thanks!!!
@7:44 Hi Steve, did your EE mini-course have Chinese (Hong Kong) subtitle?
thanks Steve
Hello, it doesn't have subtitles right now but we may add them in the future if there is enough of a demand
Muy buen trabajo, gracias por compartir.
Always love these ... great length, great content. Very inspiring.
Fab work, Steve!
beyond fantastic 😍😍😍
This was amazing!
Looks really good! That's a lot of work for such a quick shot!
Super given the most impact man 😎
These tutorials are so, so good.
The only thing I don't like is the blue lens flare comings from nowhere. But anyway, it's a really good looking at the end, good job !
I wasn't sure about that either haha. Knowing when to stop is always the issue!
Awesome sir 👍🏻
Simply brilliant

@@SteveRamsdenTH-cam nice one. I have a little Lume cube with a barn door and a snoot fitting. I might try that.
Your videos are amazing

Sounds fun! Got a whole new video on filming miniatures coming at the end of the week :)
@@SteveRamsdenTH-cam I can’t wait!!!
Great work, Steve. Kinda makes me want to go out and build a model! And a slider.
Super
amazing job
Excellent tutorial... I am learning on FCPX & Motion - can this be done in those?
I expect so - if you can remove green screens, composite together, and keyframe to move, you should be able to do something similar :)
@@SteveRamsdenTH-cam Thanks, will give it a try.

I swear this guy is so damn creative and slick with the editing. so creative love the videos you bring out nothing but good content 💯
Steve, I am also impressed that you put so much hardwork in your videos. You are really underrated man! Keep it up😄
Really you're a genius
Wonderful effect, and tutorial!
Good content 👍 please keep uploading more
So odd question. Can you use a soccer pitch as a grand or epic green screen?
Maybe, if it's a solid enough colour for the computer to remove!
@@SteveRamsdenTH-cam understood.
Amazing work bro
How did you do the smokey atmosphere?
I love your video!!! Very good!!!!
great job bro your videos are very useful great job keep it up love from india
Steve, your level of editing is amazing every time!! Don't stop editing and post your talent!!!
Wow man 🔥
My brother thanks you
You are very wonderful
just great!!
I like the Titanic one in specific because dolls houses are classy as hell so the savings would be massive.
Classsy, your tutorial is honest, thank you
Do you have a course for DaVinci Resolve?
The best example of it is lord of the rings movies, many things of them were miniature models like cities and other architecture and landscape elements
Wow man amazing keep it up
Wish I could do as half great as this one!
Great and helpful tutorial. Thank you!
I love it!!
I need full course of AE sir... please
Great video! Keep IT up!
Awesome. !!

@@bigredjanie Lol , i know this may not bother most of the people but when you see it you cannot unsee it....
I'd like to see you try this
Wow ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brilliant.
Awesome!
Which app are you doing this corrections
What scale models do you use?
Thnx this is what I need
Perfect
Thsi is totally awesome.
Many thanks!
You are best ❤❤❤
Awesome
if am using LOG color profile footage, Do we grade before or after VFX ?
That's a good question, I would do it after but others may disagree
@@SteveRamsdenTH-cam thank you, its so hard, keying LOG color profile when the scene have green screen,
Fantastic.
Thank you!
gracias
Hermoso trabajo!!
Amazing
Love it so much.
Great!!!
Sir please make a video on Captain America shield
