GetNewDesign Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hi everyone, I originally posted in December 2014, asking for assistance on a live-action video ad for a Japanese client of ours that required several realistic dioramas to be built. See original post here: http://www.jnsforum.com/community/topic/9496-calling-all-experienced-model-makers-large-japanese-diorama/ I am pleased to announce that the video is now online for all of you to see! Thanks so much for all the help & direction this forum provided me back in December 2014. I just wanted to let you know that we have now built the models and shot them all, edited and uploaded the video online.The 70 secs ad was shot in London using miniature models painstakingly created by our team of model makers. (It took them 5 weeks to build 5 different sets) The actual shoot took 5 days and the entire video was shot on 16mm film. We wanted to use traditional film cameras to give the video a sense of nostalgia that you can only achieve with a real film grain. Here is the link to our Youtube video that we posted over the weekend: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJMyNJ5k8e8Would love to hear any feedback from the forum about the video! 5 Link to comment

katoftw Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 (edited) Wow - I'd say more, but I'd be scared that I'd be short changing it. Edited June 29, 2015 by katoftw Link to comment
kvp Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Imho the model builders did a wonderful work and the film crew is really talented. What could be the scale of the models? Link to comment

What could be the scale of the models? Thanks very much! The scales ranged between 1:150 (Landscape Scenery) and 1:12 (Kitchen) and 1:10 (Interiors) Wow - I'd say more, but I'd be scared that I'd be short changing it. Amazing!!!! Thanks to everyone's feedback! I have sent this link to the model team so they can read all of these kind words.. Edited June 30, 2015 by GetNewDesign 1 Link to comment

cteno4 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Spectacular!!! Applause! Kudos! Really well done! Shooting those models was a big challenge. I did some of that years ago on exhibit models and it was almost as much work to shoot it well as making he bloody models! Love the 16mm, perfect! Well done, take a big bow!

katoftw Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Is it okay to ask whom did the modeling work? Link to comment
Robert46 Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Congrats for the job done. I read the earlier post and it turned out to be fantastic work.. :) I couldn't understand the message of the advertising, why japanese diorama is related with food? :D and the video is too short unfortunately.. :P hope there would be more filming for this stuff.. 1 Link to comment

Originally, the concept was that the little boy loves Japan and has created his 'vision' of Japan, either in his head or in reality. And for him Yutaka's products are part of the stereotype/vision of his Japan. Thats what mama buys from the supermarket so he naturally superimposes them into his 'vision'... The "Good Food Made Japan-easy" came as an afterthought by the client. We weren't convinced that it really works.... Link to comment
Odakyu Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I am entranced by the video and must now buy Yutaka products to satiate my hunger! 1 Link to comment
GetNewDesign Posted August 10, 2015 Author Share Posted August 10, 2015 Is it okay to ask whom did the modeling work? Yes of course.. We commissioned three model makers- Alan Budgen, Sachiko Yabe & Madeau Christou- all of whom are based in London, UK. Link to comment
