Details matter

Psst! Want to know a secret? If you want a resume that stands out, every detail matters. Even the smallest one. Exactly this "secret" sauce went into making “Smart & Small” films. We looked into a highly detailed universe of miniature worlds and crafted a style that looks similar to it.

To achieve the miniature world's stop-mo look and feel, puppet-like characters were designed using a limited set of shapes and real-life materials such as colored wood and real fabric.

Getting a good angle

We enhanced the storytelling with cinematic treatment. Scene framing and camera movements make it eye candy. You know what they say these days - it's all about the perfect shot.

Is it real or rendered?

We went a bit loco on the miniature world and ended up designing a unique space for each episode. Even the smallest details were perfected to make them shine. We're happy about it :)
