Painted Forced Perspective Gag

in General
Just wanted to share a painted forced perspective gag I created (in acrylic) to extend a miniature tunnel set, for my movie The Quantum Terror. It's for a very quick shot, so I didn't want to bother with motion tracking, green screen, and digital set extension. The actual miniature was built by an artist friend of mine named Heather Lowe, to match a set I built... and to answer your question, yes I use Newman's Own set dressing.

    It looks great! How large is the miniature?

    Perspective lines up great.  Would never know in a static shot that it was there!

    Thanks Gordon. Each tunnel is 4' long by 1' high and 1' wide which is one quarter scale of our actual set.

    Cheers.

    Thanks so much Chris. As long as I keep the camera at eye level with the vanishing point, with the proper lighting, and don't linger too long, I can also get away with hand held shots. I confess, it worked even better than I expected.

    Cheers.
