This might be my favorite way someone has described something I made, wow. Ahh that's made me so happy, thank you (again), I'm really glad you liked it.

Dude studson xD I have literally been binge watching you all day, you both make amazing stuff.

Here to second that his stuff is amazing if anyone is feeling iffy

I love both of your channels so much

YOOOOO the two ghibli creators in mini y’all should do a collab

You pull up to a broken stop light You're waiting for direction The traffic director turns around suddenly It's Howl, he's been training his whole life for this moment

@@MechanicalFiend I want to live in a universe where this is true.

Really can't tell you how much that means to me, thank you so much. I especially love when people enjoy the film production aspect of the video as well as the project, so I'm so glad to hear that. Super happy you enjoyed and thank you for giving the video a chance haha~

Wow I'm so happy to hear that you think so! I constantly worry during editing that I'm talking about a bunch of stuff nobody cares about lol so I'm actually really relieved to hear that. Hope you had a good sleep haha~

Ahhh that's so nice oh my goodness, thank you! I'm really glad you liked it, it honestly means so much anyone is interested in it, I appreciate it so much~

my pleasure

You have too much to comment on and here I am at a loss for words. Thank you so much, really. That's not enough to explain how much hearing that means, but I just don't know how else to say it. And yes, there is definitely a reason that I don't post very often haha. To be honest I probably put in a little too much effort, but if it can result in something that is enjoyable to watch that's all I could ever ask for.

Haha that's so nice of you to say, thank you! I don't even begin to understand youtube's method for recommending videos, but the fact that anyone has watched it is already surprising to me~

Wow that's actually crazy that these ones are your favorite, a happy accident! Also, to be completely honest I'm not all that great at painting, these turned out a lot better than I thought they would haha. Really so glad you enjoyed, I appreciate all your kind words so much~

Ahh I'm so glad you liked it~ And that's honestly so funny for you to say haha you have no idea how sick I get of hearing my voice when I'm editing, glad to hear it isn't as annoying to other people!

Watch me try to interact with a human irl and believe me, all the envy will disappear so fast. (That's way way to kind oh my goodness, appreciate you saying that so much)

Ahh can't tell you how that means to me, thank you so much! Really happy you could enjoy the video, hearing stuff like that motivates me to improve a lot so... yeah I just really appreciate it~

Well maybe I too cried inside a little at this comment. And me haha, I think my drawing and painting needs a lot of work, but I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I seriously appreciate it so much~

Ahhh this is truly too nice, thank you, so happy you enjoyed~

I really cannot tell you how happy I am to hear that, super glad you could enjoy everything! Appreciate all the kind words so much more than I can say oh my goodness. Thank you so so much~

Thank you so much, that really means a lot! So happy you liked the result~

Ahhh well thank you so much, that is so kind of you to say! Super happy you could enjoy it~

Oh my goodness that makes me the happiest to hear, so sorry that your day was hard though! Glad you could enjoy~

Well we all change, sometimes it gets harder to pick favorites as time goes on haha. I actually haven't seen Totoro in a while, might need to watch that one again as well!

Ahhh if only to experience it again for the first time, that's so lovely! Definitely such a treat all around, really stands the test of time as well. One of the only movies that can make me super emotional every rewatch haha!

Cannot tell you how happy I am to hear that this could help inspire you even just a little bit! Seeing other people make stuff has always been a huge source of inspiration for me as well, so I'm just really glad this could be part of that for you! Thank you so much, I wish you all the luck in staying past the artist block and creating~

Ahhh well that's really the best to hear, super glad you could enjoy the stuff I make! Thank you so much~

It isn't too often that I hear someone has seen one of my videos before a Ghibli film, that is so wonderful! You are really in for a treat, they are fantastic! And thank you so much for all the super kind words, super happy to hear you can enjoy the projects~

Man I wish I was a wizard, just imagine how much easier a lot of this would be. Although maybe if I was a wizard only using magic to do crafts, that would be a bit of a waste lol. So so happy you enjoyed and thank you so much for all the kind words~

Can't tell you how happy I am that you think so! It is very much appreciated~

So happy you enjoyed it! I really love the rain so much- if only there was a steady rain every night to fall asleep to!

Wait... this is on reddit? Thank you so much, that seriously means a ton to hear! Miniature making does sometimes seem to be about 90% patience/perseverance and 10% skill lol. Ahhhhh Totoro is such a feel good movie, I guess you could say that about most Ghibli movies, but that one just makes you feel so at peace (the setting especially).

Yeah. Someone posted you on r/Ghibli. I’ll upload a gif of your final product there if you’re cool with that. :)

I took the liberty to condense this video into a 1 minute gif to post on reddit. Hope you don't mind! Hopefully it gets your name out there. www.reddit.com/r/ghibli/comments/hncwb5/spirited_away_miniature_by_mechanicalfiend/

Oh that's no problem! Thank you so much for posting it and giving credit haha! I really appreciate it a lot, it's honestly crazy to me that people actually want to share my work. You also edited a short version way better than I ever could lol. I appreciate it so much~

Hope they were good chills and not chills of terror

@@MechanicalFiend they were good chills

Ahhh well they are one of my absolute favorite channels haha, but that is super kind of you to say. I think it's just the best that there are so many different talented people out there to learn from and be inspired by! Really glad you could enjoy though and appreciate you saying that so very much~

Ahhh and what an astoundingly kind comment! You are seriously far too nice, thank you so much for saying all of that. I am constantly shocked that anyone even watches, but am so happy that people can enjoy the projects as much as I do, thank you~

So so happy to hear that, try to be as accessible with materials as possible. Don't have a big budget, figure most people probably don't haha. You can make stuff with very little with miniatures!

Finding and using things that are laying around for projects is honestly one of the most fun parts- creative problem solving! Thank you so much, really happy you could enjoy~

Oh my goodness that is far too kind, seriously! So so happy you could enjoy it, thank you for all the super nice words~

@@MechanicalFiend I've been watching all your videos and I'm totally in love😭❤

Ahh I'm sorry you were feeling sad, but also slightly glad to hear I'm not the only one that gets sad at the end of the movie hahaha. Really glad this could help with that even a little and happy you enjoyed~

@@MechanicalFiend I definitely loved this alot and subbed immediately. You're so talented and deserve way more attention. Thanks for being amazing ❤

That's too kind oh my goodness, thank you! Really appreciate it so much!

Ohhhh noooo if you could have seen me in high school gym class you would not be saying that lol. Believe me there are so many things I am terrible at, but that is very nice of you to say~

Ok let me just say your English is literally perfect, please don't apologize for it! And oh my goodness that is all just so nice I don't even know what to say, thank you! One of the reasons that I started doing film is because it was the way I could express myself the best haha, so that really means a lot to hear. Ahh just thank you, can't even tell you how much that all means to me~

Ooo if you want to give it a try, please do! And of course if you do and want to share the result with me, I'd love that! Really glad you enjoyed~

Oh my goodness that is the sweetest thing... thank you so much! Really happy you could feel that way, ahh seriously, so glad you could enjoy it~

You know oddly enough, that's really not the case! I still do projects outside of youtube and I don't talk at all haha. Just a lot of singing, which... can also sometimes be seen in the videos lol.

Well immensely glad you found yourself here as well, thank you so much! So happy you could enjoy~

Ahhhhh you are too nice oh my goodness, really happy you could enjoy everything!

That's way too kind and honestly quite scary to think about haha, but I appreciate it so much! Thank you, so happy you could enjoy the stuff I make~

Ahhh well that's so so kind, super happy you could enjoy it! Honestly, it's kinda funny because when I make the miniature it's great, but when I put the video together it makes it 10x more satisfying for whatever reason. So a lot of that might be editing lol, either way- thank you so much~

Hahaha well there may be a reason for that, but it totally works if that's what you've got laying around!

Making tiny props is honestly one of my favorite things, it's so much fun!

I think perhaps out of all the projects I have done, this is the one I had the idea for the longest before making. Wanted to do it right with all the years thinking about it haha. Thank you!

Ahhh I'm sorry I really don't mean for that! I'm hard on myself because I'm still learning a lot and trying to improve, which definitely comes across a little harsh sometimes. I'm super glad you liked it though, genuinely appreciate it so much~

Not sure what you're referring to, but totally agree 100%- finishing certain media is weirdly soul crushing sometimes haha. Well if you're saying that because you are currently feeling it, I hope you find another thing to love for a while soon~

Ahhh he's way too nice, thank you so much for giving it a chance! Really appreciate all the kind words, so happy you could enjoy everything~

Ahh that's so nice of you to say, thank you! I actually often wish I could be slightly less detail-oriented, really drive myself nuts sometimes haha. Hope you liked the result~

I cannot believe there is even a fraction of a comparison to Bob Ross oh my goodness. That's way too nice hahaha thank you though, always especially happy to hear anything I make described as cozy. Those are really good picks, haven't watched them in a while, maybe I'll need to soon! Totally agree though, honestly we all could probably benefit from more time spent in nature.

Ahhh well that is so kind of you to say, thank you! So happy you could enjoy it~

@@MechanicalFiend Aaaa omg u replied- And ofc, we should be thanking u for making these videos 🙈

That's truly the best thing to hear, really hope you do give it a try! You can make whatever you want regardless of age (or any other factor tbh), as long as you enjoy it! Wish you so much luck with all your future projects~

Hahaha they're the best, I'm really glad someone recognized the song! And thank you so much, I appreciate it a lot~

Thank you for giving it a chance, so glad you liked it! Really appreciate it a lot, I'll be here making things as long as I can haha~

You 100% can be better than me tbh! It's all a learning process, if you just start making things it will happen. If it's something you want to do, you just have to give it a try and results will come. But thank you so much for saying that, I really appreciate it~

Can't even express how glad I am to hear that it could bring you some happiness! So so happy you liked it~

Ahhh can't tell you how glad I am to hear that! Thank you so much for all the kind words, wow, so happy you could enjoy~

Oh absolutely, there's a specific feeling I only get when watching a Ghibli film, not sure how he manages it haha! Absolutely beautiful works. Thank you so much for the kind words~

@@MechanicalFiend 🖐 😃

Ahh you are too kind, it was all so fun to work on!

Ahhh my friend you are too kind, thank you so much! Always glad you can enjoy~

I hope you do! Miniatures are really nice because they can be made out of a lot of recycled materials, so you don't need to go out and buy too many materials if you want to give it a try. Really glad you enjoyed~

Such a great one! I'm honestly probably due to watch that one again, it's been a while! Thank you so much for all the kind words, really happy you could enjoy~

Well I wish I could help more, but it's from the yetee quite a few years ago. Unfortunately, they only sell most of their shirt designs for a day so I don't think it's available anymore. You might be able to find the design somewhere else? Not sure, so sorry!

@@MechanicalFiend THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 😍😍😍 I'll look for it.

Ahh so glad you could enjoy, thank you so much! The final sequence for this one was particularly satisfying to light and put together, super happy you liked the result~

Oh for sure, I think there's always going to be a little extra sentiment in the first one you watch. Mononoke is wonderful, love the environment in it so much! The box sets would totally be a gem to have, wish they were a little less expensive hahaha!

Well guess I better keep making stuff, don't think there's enough content to fill a day haha. Super glad you could enjoy~

Hahaha yeahhhh maybe that wasn't the best way to make the tree? Not sure, but it did turn out pretty well. Either way, appreciate the kind words a ton, thank you~

There's only two things you need to make miniatures- patience and the ability to keep going when things inevitably go wrong lol

Ahhhh that's too nice, thank you so so much. Really happy you could enjoy, it means a lot!

Oh my god I actually feel the high expectations so much though. I think it's difficult to get rid of that, but honestly? Even if you are disappointed with the result, the most important thing is to keep trying no matter what. Failing is part of the process of making things that you are more satisfied with. It sucks, but it's also the best way to learn. Also, I will say that even if you make a mistake, it's almost always fixable. Thank you so so much, really. So happy you enjoyed everything, it means a lot more than you know. And I hope you do give painting/miniature making a shot, it's a ton of fun. I wish you all the luck with it~

Ahhh that's so lovely to hear, really glad you could enjoy it!

You know I watched part of this back the other day and thought exactly the same thing. Always try to make sure videos aren't too long, but this one needs a little more space to breathe for sure. Really so glad you enjoyed the rest though, I appreciate it a lot!

Oh my goodness this is all way too kind, thank you so much for all the super kind words! Ahhh I really can't even say how much all that means to hear. So happy you can enjoy the videos~

Oh my goodness that is far far too kind, thank you so much! So happy you could enjoy the stuff I make, seriously~

So glad you could enjoy it and thank you so much for all the kind words! Appreciate it so much~

Hahaha the best activity though, hope you have fun! Absorb all that Ghibli magic~

You've watched it multiple times? Oh my goodness I don't even know what to say to that, thank you. That really means a lot, I'm glad you liked it enough to do that haha.

Think some of the explanation is a little bit iffy in this haha, but I'm glad it could help even a little! Super happy if you can find any kind of inspiration, so glad you enjoyed~

Thank you so much, glad you could enjoy it!

One might even say too much attention to detail lol, thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed~

So happy you could enjoy, thank you so much~

Ahhhh, I understand that for sure, the voices in different languages definitely have different qualities to them. Kinda fun to switch it up sometimes and get a little bit of a new experience, but I totally get the original one having a special place in the heart haha. Maybe I'll have to watch them in German one day!

Really glad you enjoyed~

Ahhh so happy to hear that, hope you give it a try! Still love having this project to look at, it's sparks a particularly big amount of joy haha~

This is the only one I haven't been able to bring myself to watch yet. Heard too much, now I'm afraid haha- one day!

It's a movie you want to watch over and over, even though you know you're going to cry copiously.

Wonderful, really do need to give it a shot ahh. Considering Spirited Away already makes me cry for no reason, that bodes super well!

Ahh that is so so lovely to hear, really happy you have found yourself here~

Thank you so much, I'm super glad you liked the result~

So glad you could enjoy it!

Thank you, so glad you liked it~

Would absolutely love that if you wanted to give it a shot! And of course if you do and want to share the result with me, I wouldn't complain haha. Super glad you enjoyed~

Ahh well if you do, I hope you can enjoy! Thank you for checking out my work, appreciate it a ton~

Well what a coincidence, I love everything about this comment! Hahaha seriously though, thank you so much! Really happy you could enjoy it~

So so sorry that you had an anxiety attack, really hope you're feeling better now! If this could help even a super tiny amount, I'm so glad. And thank you for all the kind words, it means a lot~

Yes my friend, stay hydrated!

So happy to hear that, it's always really difficult trying to balance being informative with making an entertaining video. Really glad to hear that this might have been an ok mix of that haha. Super happy that you liked it and thank you for all the nice words!
