If you need the ultimate in
realism on a budget for your next film, consider a miniature.
Miniature Set for Television Pilot
Bear Country
The Bear Country sign lets visitors know where they
are in the park. This miniature stands only 1.5" tall or 3 feet in 1/24
scale. The diameter of the tapering tree trunk is only 5/8". Nearly 25 scale trees were used
in the construction of this set.
Note: None of the Bear Country images have been retouched. The photos were all shot with available light.

A concept sketch was drawn and used for creating the miniature set. Construction on the set began once the drawing was approved. Photos from the Woodland Park Zoo Bear Habitat were also used for reference.

The miniature set includes a forested area, a stage where the bears perform, four caves, a center tree with a swing, and a pond. The actual opening of each cave is roughly 2" x 3", or 4 ft x 6 ft in 1/24 scale.

The center tree, with its swing, is a focal point of the park. The actual size of the swing is 1". Scale rope for the swing is even used to enhance the realism. The entire tree actually only stands 13.5" tall, or 27 feet in scale.
