I'm recreating Hawkins Lab in Minecraft from the Netflix series Stranger Things! Max and Eleven's journeys in Season 4 also reminded me of my own experiences with mental health and therapy, so this video goes deep into my own life and how my experiences mirrored Max's escape from Vecna's mind lair.

To create Hawkins National Lab, I looked at tons of screenshots from the show as well as photos and videos of its real life location, the old Georgia Mental Health Institute building at Emory University's Briarcliff campus to make it as accurate as possible.

On this channel you will see Minecraft building timelapses intermixed with observations and trivia from popular TV shows and movies. It's a lovely little mashup that holds about as well together as Steve and Dustin becoming best friends. It's odd, but it just... works, I guess?

☺ ABOUT ME
I make Minecraft time lapses and digital art. Watch your favorite franchises become blocky.

I spent a decade as a kid building stuff in virtual worlds in my free time. Now I'm helping Minecrafters become creatives so they can discover their purpose and make the world better by putting their art out into it.
