    hey! what a great piece of film!
    the "production design" looks like in robert wiene´s 1920 expressionistic silent movie The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, only cooler ;-)
    Great idea, really nice made. Thank you for this!

    This is tremendous work. You really fool the eye. Amazing how the lighting shifts perspective like that. The miniature just disappears and it looks like all crane work and giant sets. Honestly, you should make a feature like this - before someone else does.

    Superb! Unfortunately I think the popularity of this clip has lead to your Ice Book website exceeding its bandwith and being suspended :-( Hope you get it live again soon, would love to find out more.

    Some smart-arse advertising director copy-cat will be busy cutting cards making a heinous bank commercial. No doubt that person will win awards for passing off your fantastic technique as his own.
  •  
  • Chris Lew 1 year ago
    Pure brilliance! It was such a treat to watch. Is the projection coming from behind the images?
