Matthew Albanese's Miniatures

Matthew Albanese's Fantastic Miniatures

The photo's on his website can explain much better how he went about making these miniatures so I'll leave it at that. Be sure to take a look!

Grzegorz Jonkajtys: Ark

Grzegorz Jonkarjty's 'Ark'

The 'Ark' is nothing short of a breathtaking, multimedia explosion of excellence oozing with rich details. The opening shots of the film are a matte painting, the last shot was entirely 3D, and the remainder of the film was primarily CG combined with miniatures. He filmed the miniatures with a Nikon D70 with a motion control rig and used CG with stop motion to produce his final, stylized effect. I couldn't believe that this took him two and a half years to make despite the fact that he was working on other high profile movies (Sin City, Pan's Labyrinth)

If your interested in the rest of his videos, be sure to take a look.
