SLICE OF LIFE - The Magic of Miniatures

This is an in-depth demonstration of the process used to create the world of "Slice of Life" (a short film from the "Blade Runner" universe).

In this video you find out how the miniature buildings were made, how they were filmed in passes and how the final shot was composited in post-production.

Thanks for the share @Florin It’s amazing the impact miniatures can have. I first heard of this idea from Simon Hunter and was dumbfounded when he told me he had used “Toy Soldiers” in a trench war scene. I was prepared for a laugh but the film however looked cool and had a kind of third dimension that was a bit eerier than human. I reckon post covid era this idea will take off more as it can blow social distance rules out of the water.
