I can't believe it's been six months since my last cinematic diorama, but here it is. This one if my biggest yet with 9 characters and 6 sets (each with multiple camera angles). A lot of love went into this one to make sure every character mattered and every shot counted.

A huge shoutout to my partner for the massive amount of help critiquing and fine tuning the story to get it to where it is after the previous rough cut. She's probably the reason you cried (or will cry). 

I'd also like to thank my son and V8CHESS for their contributions to some of the smaller details and story crafting that made a huge difference in the final product.

Tell me your favorite part, why that it is Timber and let me know what you think I the comments! Don't forget to like and subscribe over on Youtube! 

EARLY ACCESS: General Hawk has been captured — and this is the cut you see before anyone else.

Told with pure visuals, sound design, and music—no dialogue—this is one of the most ambitious Classified dioramas I’ve ever created.

With 9 characters and 7 different sets (each shot from multiple angles), running just over 8 minutes, this video is easily my biggest project yet.

This one pushed my limits. I wanted every character to have purpose, payoff, and momentum—so keeping track of positioning, gear, screen time, and each individual character arc became its own covert operation. But the result is something I’m incredibly proud of.

Stay tuned to the main Chriss Tank channel—the public YouTube version will feature bonus footage at the end explaining what happened to Snake Eyes and Timber… as well as a small tease for a future video.

Yo Joe!

Welcome to Chriss Tank HQ, your central hub for connecting with me and other Joe fans alike!

With the release of my latest video diorama on YouTube, The Snow Job and the Serpent, I'm launching my brand new website that'll serve as your one-stop-shop for Chriss Tank merchandise, membership benefits, and more!

So let's dig in to what you can expect here at chrisstank.com!

Merchandise

Right from the start, you can grab a Chriss Tank logo tee featuring the logo emblazoned across the chest and left sleeve and proudly support me wherever you go! The design is printed on an oxblood black shirt that matches the brand pretty well.

With each new release of a video diorama, I'll be designing a new tee shirt to go along with that video's spotlighted character. FIrst up is Snow Job! Each design will feature the Classified figures face/head with subtle markings of their accessory loadout in the background along with their respective Classified Number.

Let me know what characters you'd like to see spotlighted, in both video and shirt design form! I plan to grow out the offerings in the store over time with new artwork and possibly even members only designs or variations. Speaking of members only...
