  • Miniatures have been at the centre of movie-making for over 100 years. From Star Wars to Lord of the Rings, these tiny worlds are a big part of both the big and small screen. Canadian miniature artist Marina Totino lets us into her studio and shares a look at the talent that's landed her jobs in the TV, music, and video game industries.

    In a world saturated in CGI it’s truly nice to see crafts like this. Miniature works of art. 🖼️ 🌟

    She's awesome, in her art and explaining what she's doing. She's great at painting the picture with words too!

    Marina radiates so much compassion for her art. She seems to be a super interesting and fun person to be around. Wish her all the success with her incredible miniatures.

    Wow, Marina really has an incredible attention to detail when it comes to these miniatures. It's so impressive how she manages to pull off such great detail in such a tiny scale. She truly is a unique artist!

    I really like this! In forth grade they took us on a field trip to the Walter's art museum and that was the very first time I saw a miniature and I was amazed. She is awesome! And it sounds like she's self taught. Pure Genius!!!!! God bless you more and more.

    I am a movie armour maker. But outside of the film world I am known for making miniature suits of armour, all in steel and all FULLY articulated, which now live all over the world. All of which I was able to do without the need of too much space!! However...
    Since I started playing around with stop-motion and making shorts and music-videos I have outgrown my current premises. It's not the making of them, but its the storing and the filming of them! I am sitting on a crate containing a flying carriage as I type this!!
    Prior to my doing this I never really understood why studios break-down sets right after filming... they need the space to make the next world!!
    Great thought-provoking video Narcity. Marina CLEARLY has an AMAZING eye for proportion! BRAVO
    Best wishes from a secret location in a French forest 🇬🇧⚒🇨🇦

    I deeply relate to the aesthetic impulse expressed here, but in music. Vintage spaces, imagined spaces, expressionism through design.

    This was a wonderful interview. I too, am a miniaturist and create dioramas using trash. It's a whole other thought process in creating something so realistic looking in mini form. Thank you for sharing.

    i have made a few dioramas .and when i made one i did it on a 3.75 inch scale as you can buy figures from toy shops and sometimes cheap store and make the clothes for them and change them . makes it easier than trying to create them . enjoyed the video . great work .

    Thanks for this "glimpse" of a small but very cool part of "cinema making"...
    And for those who liked this I can't recommend "Slice of Life" RUclips channel, where they use a highly imaginative mixture of techniques often very heavily dependent on miniatures of different kinds.
    Best regards
