Hello there -
So I’m a filmmaker who would like to chat with someone about a project. The short of the long of it is that I’m trying to a) find someone who can build a miniature model town (with a train) that’s based on a real small town and b) if you’re that someone, I need to get an idea what something like this will cost.
Here are some more details that might help:
I’m currently looking for small towns in the United States to shoot a film in. For example, Galion Ohio is a possibility. If/when the monies are raised for this project, I’ll need to scout Galion, take tons of photographs and then have a scale model built based on the photos/Galion.
The miniature model is something that the main character of the film is building in his bedroom. No larger than 5’ x 6’ propped up on a table that stands, say, four or four and a half feet off the floor. So while this miniature model town (prop) needs to be primarily finished there also needs to be one section of the model that is incomplete – the area that the main character is currently working on in the film.
Because I know nothing about miniature model building, I would need to rely on someone’s expertise so that I can get an accurate number on what this will cost to have built, the time that it will take to build, etc.
Please keep in mind that I do not currently have the production funds for this. Right now I am looking for someone who can give me a solid number/quote on what this job will cost to have completed.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me most anytime at Rostella@hotmail.com.
Thank you!
