I Turned My Childhood Nightmares Into a Diorama

I finally did it! I Chose to face my building a commemorative Diorama! And in 4K! I delve into what gave me Nightmares as a child, what inspired my love of film special effects and design as well as a bit about how I was able to face my childhood fears successfully. I can not deny Science Fiction films have impacted my sensibilities and tastes my whole life so its really a satisfying to be able to make a piece that is an ode to where my influences are rooted. I show you in this Diorama Tutorial How To: Cut and shape XPS/EPS Foam, Ideal Glue up and Gluing techniques, Painting finishing and weathering techniques, stencils, lighting and more! I also unbox the HotToys Buzz Lightear Action Figure and pose him in the diorama, I also made a special short for the intro to this video tutorial inspired by the juxtaposition of horrifying nightmare sensibilities and Childhood Innocence.
