What major does miniature modeling belong to?

Belongs to the art scene culture specialty.

Before CG was popularized, if the director wanted to shoot scenes that didn't exist in reality, he had to find someone to put them on honestly, brick by brick. But what's better than building a real scene is making miniature models. Using architectural principles and illusions, well-made miniature models are enough to deceive your eyes.

Today, Mr. Behind the scenes will take stock of the miniature scenes that have lied to you for many years in those movies. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter series is a miniature, which is used in every part of the series. This model is 15 meters wide, and there are more than 2500 fiber-optic lamps in the model.

Simulate lanterns and torches in schools and students shuttling through corridors. There are even miniature owls and broken leaves on the door on the model, which can be seen in detail. The inspiration of the model castle comes from Durham Church and Annikburg in England, but the spire of the model is longer, which makes it more exaggerated and dramatic.

The haunted house 1982 fantasy horror film "Ghosts Drive People Out" in "Ghosts Drive People Out" is a master of old-school special effects, which uses almost all the special effects before CG appeared and tells the story of a family being driven crazy by ghosts. The climax of the film is the implosion of the house built by the family in the Indian cemetery.

Be sucked into another space. In order to achieve this effect, the crew spent four months making a contract.

1.8m long house model. About 100 metal wires were tied at different positions inside the house, and the house was demolished through a funnel and a cable. The car chase in Indiana Jones 2 The car chase in Indiana Jones 2 is a classic in film history, although this scene looks super real.

But in fact, most of them are built with miniature models. The special effects personnel of Industrial Light Magic made the cave wall with brown aluminum foil paper. The man in the mine car is also a strange model of the protagonist and the pursuer. Use small lanterns, small wooden barrels and other sundries to enhance the sense of reality. The whole scene and even the subsequent shots were shot with a mini Nikon camera.

This was a great technical challenge at that time.
