This technique, though largely unknown to some, makes use of a technique that filmmakers have used since the earliest days of movie-making. When Anderson filmed the Grand Budapest Hotel, the exterior was actually a 9-foot miniature.
This technique was also used for The Aquatic Life of Steve Zissou and The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Cerda was greatly inspired by his work when she decided to craft these stunning miniatures.
