Set Build / Scale Test
A 1:6 miniature corridor used to test scale, parallax, material texture, and tungsten-first lighting before finished shots.
2026 project dossierThe corridor study started as a fast miniature build and became a more honest scale test. The goal is to learn where the illusion breaks: wall proportions, lens distance, small camera moves, material variation, and how selective the light has to be before the space feels real.
Earlier 1:12 tests moved quickly but started to fall apart once the camera got close. The 1:6 version takes more material and more workshop space, but it survives tighter framing better. Primer made the geometry easier to judge and showed which wall sections need stronger texture variation.
The useful lesson is restraint. The set needs enough surface information for the key light to work, but not so much detail that every panel competes for attention. Slower, smaller moves also protect the scale better than big gestures.
Next comes a full detail pass, then a proper tungsten lighting test. If the set keeps its scale once the light gets close, it becomes a real KORETH asset instead of a prototype.
