Miniatures

RTL Station Ids

I love miniatures. There is just something magical about faking the real world with a small model. It's like the essence of the big exists in the small. This was a job shot at the Rushes Motion Control Stage, where one did not have to lay tracks as the rig was mounted under the ceiling. Generally I prefer shooting miniatures using motioncontrol for environemnts. Even now I prefer a Gaussian splat of a miniature to an all CG environment.

Wave of Death

A tour de force of lowcost minature work.

Dozens of miniatures for scaled water fx. My job for Jayceee Film & Vfx/SAT1: Vfx supervisor & producer

Spirit Warriors

Miniatures are a good way to create mattepaintings quickly and convincing.

Long night - The Corrs

Not a miniature, but a good example what you can do in one shot with a motion control.
