I would absolutely kill to be involved in a production like this

[@savagex466-qt1io]

lmfao was just gonna say " can I come over bud " good to see ya Miniac Thanks so much for your video's

[@huynguyenquang580]

most people watching this video don't even know who you are, but keep chasing your dream, don't give up, you'll get there eventually :)

[@manordrive4716]

I know who you are, keep up the good work and I hope you get to work on amazing projects

[@Sadgamer-143]

No you wouldn't, that's a horrible thing to do.

[@vinceisgone7317]

You can do it! Everybody trust in you! Don't kill anybody! ;)

[@davidkelsey2864]

I never cease to be amazed by creative people out there. These model builders are amazing. I could watch this for hours.

[@garydalrymple7308]

Totally agree. Real craftsmanship.

[@pawpawstew]

As a model builder, it does my heart good to this work still being done. Certainly CGI has its place, but nothing beats a physical modeler. You folks do beautiful work. 👍👍👍👍

[@TinkerTailorSoldier1]

Nothing? I don’t know about that. While model building may keep up with the times (doesn’t look outdated later)… CGI definitely offers some visuals that models and practical effects would not be a proper substitute for. I think the direction and style of the director also dictates what would be a good fit for the movie.

[@cchavezjr7]

Physical models and Matte Paintings. They can make a scene have warmth that CGI still hasn't been able to.

[@GillesvanZeebroeck]

Movies made entirely out of CGI feel cold. The sizing of objects is often wrong, look at transformer movies, where in one scene the human fits in the hand, the next scene that same human is half the size of the robot??? The colours are off and often too bright, the depth perception is off, the granularity is off and I could go on and on. You are right and CGI has it’s place but it should be limited to things like back drops, vista’s, etc. Don’t (s)tell a story through a computer…

[@VideoCesar07]

I am just a amateur hobby builder and seeing this stuff inspires me to keep building. I agree that CGI has allowed scenes that might've been impossible before but frankly it is too overused in places where a miniature or bigature would do just as well, if not even better. A good example of a good blend of physical models and CGI was Netflix Dark Crystal Age of Resistance. They used puppets, sets, props, etc and CGI was used to smooth out and refine certain details. I feel for the SFX artists who poured their heart and soul into the 2011 The Thing cause they were told it would be mostly practical effects with CGI for only certain scenes but during editing they saturated the movie with so much CGI you could not appreciate their efforts.

[@TinkerTailorSoldier1]

@@GillesvanZeebroeck Did the movie Avatar feel cold? What about Star Trek? Interstellar? Even when models are used, CGI is used to bring the live action together.

[@m6087]

Hello everyone, I've been an amateur model maker for almost 58 years and you can't imagine how much fun your channel is to me. A big thank you and hello to all my fellow model makers around the world. Marc

[@andrewgowing9815]

As a builder of scale models, it really makes one appreciate the skill involved in constructing these masterpieces. Scratch-building at it's finest. Bravo.

[@MindbodyMedic]

Miniatures in Wes Anderson films are done in such a way you can't tell they're ''real'' but you know they're not cgi. sort of inbetween state that suits his aesthetic perfectly. Thank God for filmmakers like him keeping these artists in work.

[@piercefilm]

Stay tuned for more behind the scenes model shop miniatures from Anderson films coming up!

[@brobinson8614]

Sadly when Peter Jackson made a 3D movie, (the Hobbit I think) the duel cameras lenses couldn't get close enough together, as need to be the same distance apart as our eyes, but when scaling down to the ratio of the model the lenses need to come closer together by that same ratio too. But they couldn't physically do it. So the 3D footage they filmed gave away that models were tiny. PJ decided to go to CGI and that caused a major shift away from model making in the entire film industry. Even though most films still aren't 3D. I personally think with the way small lens technology has improved in recent years, that means those smaller lenses could get much closer together for scale for filming models in 3D. So miniature models could become a reality again.

[@MindbodyMedic]

@@brobinson8614 may God have mercy on his soul 😢

[@igloo54]

I can't help that the surrealism of your miniature world, if duplicated in our real world would make our reality as beautiful as your artistic expression.

[@deaconb]

Lovely. Wonderful to see the faces that actually bring the "Wes Anderson Style" to life... beautiful work.

[@andreamteo]

my favourite thing about these miniatures is that theyre allowed to look like miniatures, they dont have to be hyperrealistic but are allowed to have that slightly cartoonish quality to them that makes it all the more perfect.

[@TheMightyAntar]

I grew up with Thunderbirds and Stingray and have never lost the sense of awe that inspired model making can produce on film. Magnificent work.

[@Topshelf87]

I’m so thrilled to see artists and craftspeople work like the old days of film. So much talent pushed aside by CGI over the last few decades. Beautiful pieces !

[@bighands69]

CGI has its place but has been overused and directors and producers that have an artistic vision can get the best out of both due to their creativity. Dune recently used both CGI and practical effects. I think that there has to be a move towards making films with a lower budget so that they then do not have as much pressure at the box office and it means more profit and then more films get made.

[@deonpowell4482]

Wow the amount of and attention to detail is unreal. Absolutely stunning, I shake too bad to do that type of work anymore. Please keep the art going by passing your talent on to others.

[@jimhood1202]

Wes Anderson's reputation is due in no small part to the incredible skills of artisans like these fine people. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished result. Thank you for your hard work, some of us movie goers notice it and are grateful. (The others maybe don't notice consciously but can't fail to subconsciously, so it's all good 😉)

[@LL-tx2kj]

I just thought I’m getting Wes Anderson vibes these models, had no idea it was actually for one his films.

[@bighands69]

It would be great if the likes of a Wes Anderson film could be made for less money so that there would be more profit in it.

[@apotbos]

You people really love liking this guy's ass, the French dispatch was garbage.

[@annemariestrehl]

I wish to one day see all of these in a dedicated Wes Anderson museum. That is such incredibly dedication to details and his very unique aesthetic style. So impressive!

[@piercefilm]

The miniatures museum in Lyon, France has some of them.

[@junglejane9979]

So happy to have the music from the movie in this piece as well. The movie was a masterpiece. Bravo on the beautiful models! Your work is appreciated!!!

[@huangkate8714]

Not only these talented artists’s work but amazing music pleased me so much. Thanks all these amazing people behind senses for built up a good movie.

[@gustavoroman2214]

This is amazing. When I saw the movie I absolutely couldn't tell there were so many models! that's brilliant

[@piercefilm]

There were a lot more, but I didn't get a chance to film them being made!

[@wdwnutjm]

SO cool!!! Details like this is why his movies are some of my favorites!

[@Kenneth_villanueva27]

this is real artistry, real craftsmanship.

[@ULTRAWIDE.]

Props to Wes Anderson for keeping miniatures alive still in mainstream films.

[@Buffaloc]

Artists like this and especially Wes Anderson give me hope.

[@mjflory]

This is exquisite! The models, Berton Pierce's video, Alexandre Desplat's music... I hope the models themselves are preserved (like the beautiful sets of the Brothers Quay, which were shown at New York's Museum of Modern Art).

[@tedioustotoro4885]

As someone who saw these models in person at the recent exhibition in London, I really appreciate the craftsmanship of them

[@mrpalaces]

Between this gorgeous craft and Displat's music, this hypes me more than any trialer could

[@Buck1954]

Model making was once a necessary craft. This makes me smile.

[@steelandglass]

What a Doll House. Such creative people and what amazing attention to detail. Unfortunately in a few years of software development something that was known as “hand made” will become “mouse made” and the average viewer won’t even notice the difference. Where is there a museum dedicated to house and display all those amazing miniatures. What a place that would be to stroll away an afternoon. Great work … 👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@piercefilm]

There is a great museum for film props and miniatures in Lyon, France.

[@vegansoy]

I’m starting to think that he decided to use miniatures in place of sets more than he ever has. Perhaps his actors will be digitally inserted? Or maybe there is a surreal dollhouse vibe he’s going for. Wonderful to see so many talented people getting a chance to work. Bravo!

[@ArnoldVeeman]

It is so beautiful that it almost hurts... Sometimes I think that I wish that the whole world was like the world portrayed by people like Wes Anderson, Willy Vandersteen, Uderzo and Albert Uderzo and René Goscinni, a hint of Walt Disney, André Franquin and Jean de Mesmaeker and of course George Prosper Remi Remi aka Hergé. A certain kind of heaven ❤️

[@Manlam-mrlam]

Ingenious workmanship

[@truefilm6991]

Absolutely fantastic! This is on the exact same level as, say, the team of Miniatur Wunderland, the world's largest and finest model railroad and many other model and prop makers. Nothing beats real miniature modeling. To top it all, Wes Anderson shoots on real 35mm film, which still is the most gorgeous looking image by far. Very happy that there is still a real physical, tangible world, more beautiful than anything virtual could ever hope to be.

[@joshacollins84]

Thumbs up for the skills, talent, & creativity! 👍👍
