VFX break down MINIATURE WORKS for MV / HIKARI (HIKAKIN & SEIKIN)

As to space station's inner structure I painted a few concept design but..too much real . .I thought we need to get the real detail only appearance. I decided to use the miniature work for Space station .

I designed planet surface when I keep painting inner structure. And I told over about the planet situation with dir.zumi.

I did'nt find out what the art department (live action stages ) happened . therefore I was willing to paint more concept design .

This is First cut concept design . Astronaut (HIKAKIN& SEIKIN) will walk around on this surface. Dir . recommended me to use earth miniature if I will use miniature that make Space station ... but

It's impossible to make it .. I decided . because I thought The earth will be difficult to roll smoothly and build up the earth is not easy for me to make surprisingly .

This is concept design that used by the cardboard miniature .

At first I made the cardboard miniature and added to the planet . sure ,still not paint on this surface.

Explanation for card board miniature.
I hate bring this up .. its for cost for VFX

And and cost is most important for me because I'm VFX producer ( for supervise and for all make it) Card board is so cheep and strong and its easy for me to cut and make these surface and form !! Glue gun is my best friends . I know ..

I called my best modelmakers !!
Arincyu , and meguroyatumeunagi .
we drunk SAKE to start with and
we stuck together ! WE ARE DUMN BOARD LEARNS !!

As soon as they drink SAKE the Space stations form arrived . we had focus to make this form .

I can cut and add the surface of cardboard in detail .

Looks so nice !!

We were confident that we would get the GOOD miniature on this way.

You can see the Key light . Its most important for this miniature, and I done test shooting on .

But .. it was broken when I paint alone ....

Next stages came in . and DUMN BOARD LEARNS stuck together .

ARINCYU is real miniature modeler .

Meguro-yatume-unagi is most famous concept designer .

We can get good appearance !!

You can see the caned beer's form and toys gun model.

Arincyu add the light into the model.

The lighting size is most important for the miniature model.

We got the great surfaces for model at last !!

At last at least ..we had great time and got wonderful opportunities for our life.

Waiting for shooting time !! Treat our model with respects !

Asian small crowd otter ( its me) is supervising miniature shot on green back .

We got Key light and stopping wire for the model . it's for rolling model

we checked out the best .

I touched a bit and rolled the model .

After I composited it on my planet painting and add the debris and repeat beacon on the model
