“Enter our Miniwood world!!” Click play and have fun with this Hollywood tribute. A design studio based in Athens, Greece called Yeti Pictures has debuted a 74-second long animated short film called Miniwood. This was created by the studio in their spare time as a way to promote their work and honor their favorite movies from growing up. “It’s always hard to find spare time between commercial work to make these short films happen but team projects are what keeps Yeti moving forward and keeps our passion for animation alive.” Directed by Yeti’s Tony Zagoraios, famous scenes from these movies are recreated in their “miniworld style,” with miniature characters that are direct references to action figures or toys. It features homages to classics including Jurassic Park, The Exorcist, King Kong, The Addams Family, Kill Bill: Vol. 1, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and RoboCop. I’d watch vignettes like this for 100 more movies! Every one is enjoyable.
Thanks to Vimeo Staff Picks for the tip on this fun short now available online. Full intro via Vimeo: “Hello motion people!!
