How The Miniatures In Your Favourite Movies & TV Shows Are Made (In Montreal)

Фильм және анимация

Miniatures have been at the centre of movie-making for over 100 years. From Star Wars to Lord of the Rings, these tiny worlds are a big part of both the big and small screen. Canadian miniature artist Marina Totino lets us into her studio and shares a look at the talent that's landed her jobs in the TV, music, and video game industries.

    In a world saturated in CGI it’s truly nice to see crafts like this. Miniature works of art. 🖼️ 🌟

    Wow, Marina really has an incredible attention to detail when it comes to these miniatures. It's so impressive how she manages to pull off such great detail in such a tiny scale. She truly is a unique artist!

    I really like this! In forth grade they took us on a field trip to the Walter's art museum and that was the very first time I saw a miniature and I was amazed. She is awesome! And it sounds like she's self taught. Pure Genius!!!!! God bless you more and more.

    I am a movie armour maker. But outside of the film world I am known for making miniature suits of armour, all in steel and all FULLY articulated, which now live all over the world. All of which I was able to do without the need of too much space!! However... Since I started playing around with stop-motion and making shorts and music-videos I have outgrown my current premises. It's not the making of them, but its the storing and the filming of them! I am sitting on a crate containing a flying carriage as I type this!! Prior to my doing this I never really understood why studios break-down sets right after filming... they need the space to make the next world!! Great thought-provoking video Narcity. Marina CLEARLY has an AMAZING eye for proportion! BRAVO Best wishes from a secret location in a French forest 🇬🇧⚒🇨🇦

    Wow! I love it when people with an unreal amount of talent can so clearly explain what they do, and the passion just pours out. It's a genuinely rare talent. It's really inspiring!

    I deeply relate to the aesthetic impulse expressed here, but in music. Vintage spaces, imagined spaces, expressionism through design.

    Thanks for this "glimpse" of a small but very cool part of "cinema making"... And for those who liked this I can't recommend "Slice of Life" KZread channel, where they use a highly imaginative mixture of techniques often very heavily dependent on miniatures of different kinds. Best regards

    i have made a few dioramas .and when i made one i did it on a 3.75 inch scale as you can buy figures from toy shops and sometimes cheap store and make the clothes for them and change them . makes it easier than trying to create them . enjoyed the video . great work .
