Scaled models, action props, work is multi discipline and often requires the whole department to be involved, especially when it comes to blowing it up!
Models, Miniatures and Props can be upscale, downscale or the same size as the real thing. They are employed for a variety of reasons when destined for film; the 'real thing' may be inaccessible, may not perform well under studio lights or require filmic qualities it doesn't naturally possess.
Some 'action props' have to perform a particular way, perhaps as a breakaway piece of furniture or landscape. Weapons are frequently made as lightweight copies; knives can be fired down cables or made to exude blood.
We can advise on the best scale and filming methods for model shots. Models work very well in conjunction with CG elements and we are very experienced in working closely with the director and post-production facility in the blending of these effects with the model.
