With just a week to go until the Seatttle International Film Festival opens, it's time for the annual viewing of the SIFF trailer—the handiwork of Seattle production agencies World Famous (one of Seattle Met’s best places to work…and play) and WDCW (Wong, Doody, Crandall, Wiener). They pack a lot of SIFF memories into 60 seconds, recreating scenes from Moonrise Kingdom, Murderball, Brave, Trollhunter, Dr. Strangelove, The Exorcist, Beasts of the Southern Wild, and more in miniature with 3D models. It took the team over 900 hours to shape, mold, handpaint, and computer design before shooting began. Makes it a short film unto itself.
