EPIC Storm Diorama - With Flashing Lightning!
Vložit

- Hey guys, I'm finally back with another video. I fell down a very deep animation rabbit hole for the intro to this video. I had never done any animation before so I only planned on doing something simple, but It took on a mind of it's own and here we are! But I had a blast and I learned a lot of really neat new skills so I have no regrets!
Enjoy this lighthouse, ship, kraken, storm diorama bonanza!

First!
I've been watching your stuff for a while! Absolutely love your work!!
Please don't tell me you're an animator in addition to being a crafter, artist, 3D modeller, woodworker, electrician and whatnot... My god, Geordie, you are the literal impersonation of Talent & Skill. Can't help admiring you and your artworks! ❤️
WOW! I love that whole scene stuck in a cloche! You can just switch it on and watch the scene as it unfolds, again and again and again and again.....
Flippin epic Geordie! Love the feet on the base. The whole piece is really dark and moody.
Thanks Knarb! 😊
that's just an insane number of skills and techniques demonstrated in one project
I'm watching it for the second time today and I like everything more and more...
You did a kraken job on this piece!
Tree SO SMOL!!! I'm loving it!
one of the best and most moody, epic, awesome, diorama i have ever seen.
Madness. How does this channel not have more Subscribers??
Wow this diorama is amazing. Never seen anything like this before. Love all the lighting effects and the details in such a small diorama is outstanding.
We love you!! Please stay inspired!
Epic Creativity! Was absolutely engrossed in your process. Can't wait to see more!
The variety of skills in this build is impressive
My skill level is no were near yours. It's still fun to watch. A very good build.
That turned out great! Also, it started raining here as the video was ending.
This channel is criminally under-viewed.
Haha I appreciate that! I'm just not fast enough with making videos yet 😅
This build is amazing, love all the different skills you showed off.
Kind of disappointed you didn't hand blow the glass lid 🤣
This was ridiculously impressive
One hell of a build, well done 👏
Super high quality video! The lightning down the tentacle is an awesome touch
WOW!!! Amazing diorama with incredible details!!!
I am here before you get a million subscribers, super talented.
Haha thank you! I don't think I'll ever get there, but it would be amazing if I did!
That project is AMAZING! The whole LED work for the storm makes everything look even more incredible. I really should learn how to work with arduinos and LEDs, it would be reaaaally useful for a diorama I'm planning for the future.
Thats incredible. Good job on the animation too.
Whoa! You are crazy talented.
I love the use of animation and 3d graphics. Combined with the little flourishes, it really elevates the video as a whole.
Indeed!!! I love this too, it is so fresh and cool!
omg... your channel is pure gold, you are amazing!
An amazing variety of techniques on display here, fantastic results!
Super fantastic vid, Geordie! Talk about hobby polymath!
Oh wow, super good!
So incredibly well done 👍
I was excited to see that you posted a new video!
This is uh...kind of stupidly high quality, wow. Good craftsmanship, good showmanship, good editing, and the little intro movie was top-notch.
Haha thank you so much! I appreciate it 😊
Such a cool project! Thanks so much for the mention, I appreciate it! Keep on making the awesome videos on your channel! 😁👍
Ah thanks for checking it out! and for all your amazing educational content! I've learned a tonne of davinci tricks and techniquse from you over the last two years :)
@@Geordiecrafts Awesome! Thank you for checking out my channel! Glad it was helpful. 😁👍
Oh my. Love the animation. Production value on point.
Boylie got some competition! Therea dioramas then theres this
This was really great. The opening animation looked awesome too.
Okay, paused at the beginning of only my 3rd video of your channel...I cannot believe the level of production you're putting into your videos! Blown away. Kudos 👍
Edit: watched more...you're very talented and creative! I'm envious of your skills and access to various technologies. You're doing what I wish I could do! Good for you!👍You've also got a very accessible and genuine narrative style. I hope to see more projects and watch your channel grow! I subscribe to many "creative" channels and you've set a very high standard and IMO produce content that easily rivals anything I've enjoyed in the past. Respect!
Also 🇨🇦content!
The light show was simply amazing, what a great effect
Geordie, this is incredible and I was so excited to see another upload from you. The sheer amount of skills you demonstrate in your videos is mind-blowing! Is there anything you can't do?! 😂
I wholeheartedly agree!! Someone with this kind of talent should have way more subs!! I’ll be sharing and shouting from the mountain tops!! Figuratively speaking!!
How do you not have millions of subscribers. You do such fabulous work.
Wow, that is an incredibly effective and gorgeous lightning effect in those clouds! Well done on this one!!
Thanks so much! I'm pretty happy with how everything turned out on this one! And thanks for dropping by little channel too 😊😊
Fantastic. I really appreciate the story in the sculpture. The lighting multiplies the drama and is really well done.
I was not expecting the final result to be so amazing. This is perfection.
Cool project and video! Lots of cool ideas in there. Love it🙂
Awesome video, awesome story told!!!
Wow! Impressive stuff
Your animation at the beginning is off the hook! Wow!! And the project? Creative, dynamic and original!!!
Youre really skilled in so many areas! Love the final product
Excellent build! I really like the classic closhe dome presentation, it somehow makes any piece a mantle piece. #victorianmantlepiece
Loved the video! your editing and animation work is amazing and really goes the extra mile and of course, the end diorama was superb
Nice kraken pun. This video was drowning in great ideas. Nice work Geordie, I don't even attempt craft this small because my giant ape man fingers won't allow it
Haha thanks! I pride myself on my bad puns 😅. Yeah having tiny hands is certainly advantageous for small crafts!
Crazy talented!
Keep it up, Geordie. Really loved your approach to the lightning, and i may use it some day.
Hot damn that must have taken you ages to make. That turned out incredible Geordie, excellent work!
This video was a long one, but I really enjoyed the process!
Amazing, just well and truly amazing! Everything about this build is thematic and adds to the story telling. The lightning effect is so cool and I love the brass tentacle feet for the base. 🦑
Thanks so much! I'm pretty happy with how the feet turned out too 😊
Fantastic!!!
Amazing work!
And...now I want a lathe. Thanks, Geordie.
Always fascinating to see the variety of crafting skills you use on each diorama. The animation was really cool too! Having to hide that board was almost a pity though, that was some clean soldering 😁
Thanks Karl! The animation was a bit too long, but I had already invested a month so I there was no going back 😅
I'm definitely pretty happy with how that perfboard turned out haha. Thanks again!
Question about the baking powder and medium, how well does it age? I've been told that baking powder and glue can yellow over time, does the medium prevent that?
@@Karlmakesstuff hmm thats a good question. My oldest diorama is only 2 years old but its not showing any signs as of right now. I'll keep an eye out for it though!
@@Karlmakesstuff I think it depends on the glue/medium for example I made a diorama with baking powder mixed with glue for snow and it still is white after 6 years, while it turns yellow for some people 🤷♂️
@@dominikmalysz probably so! Would be interesting to investigate this further.
Wow wow wow. You have all the skills I love and would love to develop. Video edition, photography, drawing, animating, woodworking, 3d design, wiring, programming, painting, and the knowledge of putting all of them together. I just subscribed to your channel. Congratulations
Thanks so much for stopping by and subscribing! I really appreciate it 😊
Awesome! I really appreciate the impressive breadth of your skillset!
Wow, what a cool diorama! I've been watching your videos all day and you have some spectacular projects, but this one really brings alot of skills together!
Aw thank you! This one was a really fun project 😊
Great concept, fantastic executiona and a funny and engaging video. Well done Geordie!!
Damn, must have been expensive as hell to make all that. Well done
More expensive than I can afford 😅, but no regrets! I absolutely love it!
I’m just now discovering your channel, this is phenomenal!! loved watching this video! The end result WOW!! More I say MORE!… plz.
You are truly amazing. I hope you can work with much bigger dioramas in the future.
I'm really enjoying your work. Thanks
This is next level amazing! Awesome build!
Too awesome for words
Very nice concept and development. 👌
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 I know myself: I would sleep evey single night just looking this " storm inside a mini dome".🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
It looks amazing! I love the animation too!
This is spectacular!! I watch an obscene number of crafting channels and you have some techniques going here that I have yet to come across. Holy moly.
haha thanks so much! I love experimenting and trying new things! it often fails, but when it works its great!
Life is so strange: Saw your comment on a Blender ornament tutorial, thought to myself: Geordie Crafts? Does she craft? Then came to your channel. First video I click has brilliant storytelling AS AN INTRO. What an amazing channel you have here! Will definitely stay around. Keep at it, you are great!
Funny how that works haha, I'm always so grateful for those blender tutorials, I don't know where I would be without them!
I'm currently working on a HUGE Lord of the Rings piece so stay tuned for that! and Thanks for stopping by :)
As usual, great stuff! Your range of skills is quite impressive
Amazing job!! You are one of my favorite crafting channels to watch, so happy to see you had a new video!! Love the “get kraken “ joke 🤣🤣🤣. With your permission I want to share your channel info!!
Thanks so much! and of course you can share :)
“Man this already amazing and time consuming project just isn’t taking me long enough, let’s just create a whole animation for it too.” :Geordie probably. Lol mad props to you, the skill and quality of this video is phenomenal. I lovvvvveeeeee the fact that you voiced this one over 🤗 super amazing editing too.
Just finished the video. Mannnnnnnnnnnnn this was such a cool project I learned a lot…. Seriously impressed
@@ScenicCuriosities thanks so much! It was super fun to make! 😁 (but yeah I spent too long on the animation 😅)
Every minute of this video was pure joy. It's astounding how you manage to put so many different crafts/tools/techniques in a single video. Thank you for this video, can't imagine how many hours you've spend on it!
Will you asked which Skills we would like to see… for me it’s you 3d modeling like the tentacles! I love those tentacles!
I've actually got project in the works for blender related content. I haven't had a chance to do anything over there yet, but I have lots of plans! czcams.com/channels/k--KZo8Ur29rb1BMu4rSdQ.html
Such an amazing and beautiful work 👏👏👏. You put in so much effort into creating this video and of course for the work itself. Congratulations! 🙌
damn i,m literally overwhelmed by the amout of brilliant ideas you've packed in this video! well done! subscribing right now
Aw thanks so much!
Fantástico! Uma das melhores obras desse tipo que já vi! Parabéns!
You should make a sequel piece where the guys who jump overboard go into the krakens tentacle suckers and absorb into it in like a collective consciousness and they can like live each other's memories and then one of them like goes back into the other guy's memory and it's like time travel and he like lives the other guy's life and when he gets to the ship he's like no I won't sail on this ship and it's like, did he just undo history or is it like a alternative universe or something?? I think that would make a good piece
Awesome build 👌
Wow awesome work! Great use of Blender & Grease Pencil to lay out the vision!
(I just realized to check the mentions tab 😅 Sorry)
Thanks for checking it out Dantti! And thanks for all your amazing tutorials!!
@@Geordiecrafts No problem! So glad I could help! This made my day! Thank you :) ❤
Truly outstanding build and video. Only recommendation is to use lots of smaller supports when printing, rather than larger ones, that will result in far less work to clean up prints.
Was waiting for your video for a long time, ngl but all with that narration, animation, story, voiceover, music, sfx, and especially the efforts on this particular diorama, made this video absolutely perfect. You did an amazing job keep it up my Sis!
I'll surely be waiting for your future diorama projects
Incredible stuff, honestly there is so much I could say, so I will just leave it at, it’s been a real pleasure watching this project come to life. Congratulations
Wow…… I just came across your videos. You do amazing work. I’m looking forward to see more of your upcoming videos. Thanks.
Absolutely amazing! The projects and your storytelling are truly fantastic Geordie!
This is the first time I’ve seen your channel and I’m so disappointed I didn’t know about you earlier. Your 3D modeling skills are OUT OF THIS WORLD, your artistry is unmatched, your calming fun and inspiring commentary is such a pleasant touch, plus plus plus… I could just keep admiring and fan girling but since I’m a distinguished woman over 40 I’ll keep my excitement to a bare minimum. On top of all the skill, talent, experience…. You also produced a HIGH quality video with great lighting, music, editing…. All that goes into this is just unmeasurable. I’m your new biggest fan.
Oh my goodness thank you for all the kind words!! I really enjoy making these projects and the filming/editing has become it's own enjoyable hobby. Thanks so much for subscribing 😊😊
Just subbed. You have me mesmerized with the video editing.
But that shirt is top notch!
And you draw too!? Ughhh I can only hope to be as good as you!
Edit: AND YOU CAN TURN, and 3D model?? I’m in love.
Your videos are great! Very talented. 🥰
Thanks so much! I just checked out your channel and you have some awesome stuff there!!
@@Geordiecrafts Thank you so much! ❤
this is so cool
AWESOME
Very cool ⚡️
Fantastic, Geordie! I'd love to see you do an Arduino for Dummies and Diorama Makers vid. So many arduino vidz out there assume too much knowledge or don't show the kind of applications we would use them for like this. Really enjoying your vidz!
Good work 👍👍👍
this is SO cool!!
