We experimented with miniatures to play with the theme of artifice. The actors were shot on greenscreen and the miniatures were to assist in conveying the deceptive facades of shell companies.

MINIATURE DESIGN and ART DIRECTION

Designed the miniature of the HYPOTHETICAL BANK. Hired a crew to set design and build the model.

In this fantasy sequence, the bank was scripted as HYPOTHETICAL and meant to represent a number of huge banks in Europe that the waelthy go to in order to start the process of creating shell companies.

We decided to create an architectural model of a bank with resin model figures to reinforce this idea of a shell company. A shell company doesn’t represent a real company - it is empty of real employees or real products so we stripped the bank of all of its real elements, it’s textures, it’s details.
