Tiny World, Real Sets: The Miniature Wife’s VFX Revelation

Verge’s interview with VFX supervisor Ashley Bernes explains how Peacock’s The Miniature Wife creates a 12:1 scaled world (Lindy about 5.5–6 inches) using a real dollhouse set, life-size tiny props, and a blend of practical in-camera work with CG across multiple VFX vendors.
