This is a miniature we created with Gautier Zahonero for our short movie Memoria.

The Making of : https://vimeo.com/51213100
For the movie, we had to create the inside of the brain of our main character. This environment had to be dynamic to represent the motion of the brain and we did a lot of research to access the look we wanted. Our goal was to be as organic as possible but keep the idea of a structured space. With spreading color, we wanted to illustrate her evolving emotions and accentuate the main action with symbolism.
This miniature was build mainly using wood, metal, cotton, lots of glue and sprayed water. On set we mainly chose to go for a backlighting, helping us to shape and increase the depth of this small piece of environment. Thanks to a macro lens we could preserve the scale and increase the impression of being inside a closed area thanks to the really short depth of field.
These are test shots prior to shooting :
