I'm not normally a fan of the Hollywood types, but how could anyone not like this guy? He's a like a very friendly and overgrown kid with super illusion powers. He was definitely given a gift.
right.. he is like your buddy and just saying hey want to see something fun let me show you..
This is exactly the video I’m looking for. I’ve been wanting to have a rainforest room for a while now and this is the exact tree I plan on designing for my room. Thanks for making it into a reality.
Ooh! Show us the end result!
Kindred spirit! Almost the exact same thing brought me here!
I would love a series of videos on prop making including ships and houses. Love your channel and spirit
I'm surprised this channel isn't way more famous. It's one of the best channels I watch
It's still relatively new, he has had MASSIVE growth..and continues to do so.
Can you please put in comments which exactly all the material you use in making tree 🌴
You really were born to be an artist. Amazing how movies can be set just with imagination, creation, and love. Blessings for you and Cara!
Just love the good will of Marus in everything he does. Imagine if he were in charge of Hollywood and how he could change generations of people throughout the World, and inspire things worthy of our time !
I've been going through your back catalog lately and amazed by the wide range of resources you've provided for viewers. This channel is it's own master class. Thank you Markus.
Markus, your channel is such an inspiration. Aspecially in these times.
I love that you show us all these tricks and not having to use the most expensive gear!
How healthy is that foam over time as the interior of a van? Does it emit any fumes or breakdown with heat/sun?
A long time ago, I visited a museum with a walkthrough forest. I thought it was incredibly cool, and wondered what it would be like to create a forest in a basement, where you could escape anytime you wanted to. The way you made the tree is exactly what I would need! Now that I have kids, this seems like a justifiable thing to do. 🙂
Markus you are literally one of the best personas going on the internet these days. And now because of your show I find myself picking up Cara Cara oranges on a regular basis. LOL
Markus, I worked in Hollyood for over 35 years and got to work with some of the most creative art directors in the business, its so delightful to watch your incredible level of pure genius. I hope people enjoy yhis site and appreciate your DaVinci brilliance. Your series is so fun to watch and so very creative. The King Of Foam Core!
Thanks 😊
I’d like to see some of your work too!
You guys should collaborate!
I’ve always enjoyed the behind the scenes/making of videos that are sometimes found on DVDs/Blu-ray discs. Thanks.
"Not perfect"
shows a totally realistic tree
Yeah,,, that's Markus... humble as.... meanwhile we watch with mouth agape at his talent!!!
This is the catch of DIY. You know were you messed up and you will always be able to spot it. Often no one else can. If someone had made the item for you and made the exact same mistakes you'd likely not be able to see them either. The curse of knowing.
Markus, you crack me up! you are so talented and it's like watching a kid in the toy store, so free and uninhibited. We can learn a lot from you! Thank you for your willingness to share your life with all of us!
This is very insightful. I come from a CG/VFX background and there was never this type of approach in any of the art programs in my country, so this is all rather fascinating to me. The only local industries that make some attempt at special set creations are the TV networks, but they're so lazy looking that it quickly tunes you out of their shows. My mind never computes the idea that props can be hollow. Whenever I think of making something, I immediately think of thick, solid materials. Paint is another thing. I'm so used to using photographic textures for 3D that my firs thought is usually printing something and try to shoot it in a way nobody will notice XD
💗👍🏾 Wow, this is brilliant, Markus! Thanks for showing us your process, brother.
Sweet and crafty. I love this kind of stuff...
You're a true artist. Great vid as always
My patio and living room are starting to look more and more like the inside of your house Markus. I think it's a good thing. My house is slowly transforming into a place of entertainment.
You are amazing 🤩 looks so real. Please say hi to Cara!
So…how did you make this one? ;)
I have found the best TH-cam channel and it’s at its beginning. Will get millions subs someday.
Love seeing the practical fabricated stuff. Thanks for sharing all of this!
Beats lugging in a real tree trunk! Nice work and having fun while doing it! Wish I had space to play like this. Keep this stuff coming.
Wow, you have some serious talent. Really enjoyed the video.
Wow, that's a lot of work and effort into that tree for one video! Amazing!
My other take-away is that your lady has a beautiful singing voice.
Beautiful and talented.
Another "Hidden Tallent of Markus" - Producer, cameraman, lighting, best boy, grip, editor, actor & now props! What's next?
You are a genius Markus and a great inspiration. Thank you🙏
So talented! This is so cool! Thank you for sharing your talents!
Is it hard to work with foam core? I've never tried it! I imagine cleanup is hard! It is all smoke and mirrors, isn't it?? It's also delicate too?
Just out of curiosity, what did it cost you to build?
Your passion for this art shines through in your excitement. Great work! very informative and I look forward to using some of these techniques in my own projects!
Absolutely love your approach, and in general your painting skills are quite something - but your 'if you can picture it, you can make it work ' attitude is gold. Many thanks for sharing
I’d love to try and build a few film props like that one day just to see how they turn out. Markus makes it seem so straight forward, but I have a feeling mine would probably end up being a horrendous mess!
I love you and your videos. You emanate a child's heart of creativity, joy, and happiness. Thanks for sharing yourself.
I love the foam core idea. Do you free-hand draw each pieces that you need to cut?
Great, simple, enjoyable tutorials! Thank you.
You are just so talented Markus!
This is why I love watching your content, just amazing!
Thank you for sharing your craft and talent with us.
Blessings!
Wow, your tree (and the set) looks fantastic!
I use Durham's Water Putty to build all kinds of models and I can make casts with it too! Love that stuff.
how sturdy is this stuff? thinking of making a cat tree with it🤔
This was great Markus! Thank you!
Love the behind scenes and how you make your props!
Would love to see more of this! Its so cool!
Dude, the lengths you'll go to, to make videos for us. Respect.
I absolutely love this!!
So much fun! So well done! Hardest part of this would be cleaning up the mess of making it.
Glad I found this channel. Thanks!
Love,love, love, this video... thank you so much for sharing.
Terrific stuff. Very convincing.
Nice job. I built an 8 foot tall tree for a theatre project. In my case, because of limited budget, built it with a sonotube wrapped with discarded carpet. I sculpted the carpet and then applied Ardex Feather Finish quick dry floor filler to complete the bark look. After each performance audience members would ask me how I got that huge tree trunk into the building...loved it! And I love your videos!
that was awesome! Im thinking for the cost of expanda foam and the amount of time the foam core construction would have taken it would have been easier just carving a big block of styrofoam?
Very cool Markus ! ! !...thanks for showing this ! Just like Disney LOLOL..super fun too...
Oh, I just loved it! I already start to think, to make a tree to the corner of my room. For sound diffuser purposes.
Markus, I would love to see, how to make those paper stones! Would You please...? Hugs! Thank You!
The best sound diffuser is carpeting. Even on walls.
@@MarkusPix Yepp! 👌 But doesn't look as so cool as a tree in the corner. 😁😎
Markus, you're video wizard! Your picture always looks incredible! You're inspiring!
Thank you for making this video! I wanted to make a fake tree but it seemed complicated, but after watching your video it seems way simpler than I thought! And it’s cool that it’s so lightweight!
That was pretty awesome. I love your excitement of creation
How many foam you spend on this "little" trunk?
Amazing job and really grat for inside where you can't put something heavy ❤
Amazing simple stuff yet classy
Thank you for showing how this is done I can't wait to try this.
Complete artists... Wow
Currently making one right now , so far so good , thanks for the help
Just finished it ! Came out great , video was perfect
Did you have any issues with the water putty cracking? My friend is trying this and she’s struggling with that. Any suggestions would be helpful!
Markus. I am blown away with your ideas. you made making a tree so achievable. I am going to have ago. I am a part of an amateur musical theatre company that puts shows on to help raise money for local charities. And I normally end up build most of the sets, just because I have joinery skills, nothing as elaborate as yours. Do You a mini-series on how you build your sets?
Great how-to video, Markus. At the science museum, when they want a big tree trunk they go get one. Your tree looks better than their real ones. We do make smaller stuff, like your rocks and even much bigger ones, but much larger is usually done with foam insulation planks glued together and then carved with the right angle grinder with the round plate and 4 bolts sticking out of it. It carves the foam rough and very quickly, but it is quite dangerous. I think I prefer your way of making a tree or other things using just foam core and then covering it, and I will try to get them to build more things your way. I'll be watching this video several more times to be certain that I haven't missed anything and will likely show it to them as well. I never thought of using Water Putty for this, but have used it in home renovation for the last 50 years or so. This is also a great idea. Many thanks for the demonstration.
Looks incredible, i wanted a wisteria/flowering tree arch to hang over the sweethearts table for my wedding, but i did not want to spend hundreds. I definitely will use the technique to create a beautiful tree 🌳 😊
Ingenious! Well done, Sir!
Very creative. Amazing what can be done by just thinking outside the box.
Really cool and inventive. Makes me want to create.
Do you do your own animations (the birds in the clip you showed)?
You're so clever and talented, you do make me smile, really enjoy watching your videos
Wowwwww
I love it. I love this kind of stuff. Making things.
Absolutely stunning!
LOVE THE EFFORT AND SHARING
Being new to the 🎥 industry and a student at Full Sail University, I want to say that your videos are extremely helpful!!
Glad you like them!
You will never get old Sir with creative ideas like these!!! What a great idea for a play area as well ... thanks for keep life simple and fun, God bless
So cool. You should invest in foam core, if you haven't already. You create some incredible stuff with that.
Wauw, amazing result 🙌
That is amazing. How many cans of foam did you use?
👍🏼 Thumbs up on this video…. And your life, fella!! Thank you for sharing your methods.
I totally forgot about Durham’s!! That stuff is frEAKing MAGIC-LOVE IT… used it for years on set- last time I used it was for an Alanis Morissette video (four columns with running water down the front) …and I just love all the applications ! Including all kinds of home repairs- it’s incredibly durable and cool to work with -thanks so much for the reminder! U made my day
Wonder if I could paint it over a canvas carnival tent?! It could make it a hard top suitable for the weather!
I think your a credit to the all the film industry, PERIOD, That is so COOL MarkusPix...WOW...
Wow thoes props looks amazing i understand now how they build sets so fast. There must be a lot of tricks and methods in the prop building business.
OK not enough superlatives to cover what I just saw in this video!! I too use foam and light weight skeleton stuff to make props but the foam core is definitley on my list now! I use alot of 2" 4X8 sheets of the pink insulation board. This approach you came up with is on a new level. Thank you!
Hi! Thanks so much for this video. I made everything the same, but watered down the putty way too much and the whole surface is cracking when I apply paint. Do you have a recommendation for an ideal ratio, and how much did you use? Even watered down, we used one and a half giant cans for an 8' tree. Would you suggest simply applying the water putty at the correct ratio over what I've already done since it's flaking off?
yeah the putty should be pretty thick. Maybe the tape you're trying to stick it to is also too slippery. Some masking tapes are shinier while others are rougher.
Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Thanks from England :)
Another wonderful video, your creativity is amazing, Thank you Markus.
Wow!!! That is fantastic!!!
OMG! I just can’t get enough of you ha ha Ha you are amazing Marcus.
Does Cara videotape you on most of your videos like this? She does a great job!
Wow, super creative and handy
Wow.... I stumbled across this video hunting for diy fake aquarium branches and i'm so glad i did. Fascinating video i thoroughly enjoyed watching this/you. Thank you.
Dude! You should market this toward the reptile hobby as well! I run a reptile rescue and been trying to build trees/branches for my large lizards, This is PERFECT!
Great content. I'm a DIY guy as well, and I love gleaning new ideas and tricks from folks. Thanks for sharing this.
Aaah the illusions of Hollywood, thx Markus!
Genius 💪 Thanks for the video Markus 👊
100%🔥 Yes, I love this, I asked about the prop stool and you sent me the link to the shed video. 🙏
