Alright, I watched Nivis Ex Machina! Here's what I thought:



Everything been said, it's a charming short that leaves me positive and eager for more from you guys. I'm sorry to hear that Ultraman Sorta got cancelled (I was really looking forward to those), but I have high hopes for your Gamera tribute film.
Keep up the good work, guys!

[kiryugoji04]

All legitimate criticisms that I more or less agree with entirely. I appreciate the feedback! And, yeah, if I could do it over again it would be a markedly different film but alas. The script was written in 2009, before we started to put all our screenplays through super-rigorous rewrites and when it was selected to be produced, we didn't really give it as hard a look as we really should have because it was just this script that had been sitting around forever and we liked it and wanted to make it so why bother, right? And then, two-plus years later, I really wish I had bothered. UGH.

Again, thanks for taking the time to watch and criticize it so honestly. I really do appreciate it.

I'm really happy with our new script though. REALLY happy. It's not the aforementioned Gamera tribute – though that still exists, it just became a little more ambitious than we expected – but it's really, really cool. It's a giant monster film whose main concept is based around the fact that Georgia has no natural lakes, only man-made reservoirs. And also it's kind of a backdoor pilot for a longer series, which has been absorbing tons of story ideas from several of our older scripts and, uh, may have absorbed Not-Gamera too. We shall see. D:

Yeah, it's almost embarrassing reading those critique points, because some of them are things we noticed afterwards and were kinda kicking ourselves for.

Currently working on a new draft of the aforementioned series pilot/lake film as we speak (well, not literally as we speak, but when I'm not at work).

You guys running some sort of miniature sweat shop?

[kiryugoji04]

Duh.

[XvGojira]

Where do you think he gets all those little tiny shoes from?

[kiryugoji04]

Here are two more shots from our most recent shoot. This set is for a short establishing shot that opens up the new Go, Robo! Go! music video that my roommate is directing.

[Shin_Edda_Robo!!!!!]

Very impressive miniature work. I hope your opportunities expand and your work is recognized.

Just... HOW did you manage to get into contact with Ted Thomas anyway?

Thanks! It's a forced perspective shot too. The foreground hill and tent are in 1:24 scale while the village in the back is 1:87.

[kiryugoji04]

Here, have a teaser for our upcoming music video release.

[kiryugoji04]

Our new music video just went live today! Check out my latest miniature work and the rest of Elliot's INCREDIBLY AWESOME video!

[kiryugoji04]

Hey, everyone! Updated my miniature effects reel today to include the color version of our circus/village shot from Go, Robo! Go!​'s Sins/Sacrifice video​. Couple of other small tweaks here and there as well. Go check it out if you haven't seen it already!

[kiryugoji04]

Finally got all the windows installed in this building. 1120 individual pieces of wood and plastic!

We've got a bunch of exciting stuff coming up soon! We're releasing the first of five new music videos before the end of the month and I'm super stoked to announce my next (honest to God actually happening this time!) giant monster project in the coming months. Woo!

[kiryugoji04]

These are the things we do in the shop when we're not actively building stuff.

[klen7]

I am a miniature setrosexual, thank you very much.

So would you say "size matters" or "its not the scale, its how you shoot it"?
