In between adding the final touches like snow and fog to the exterior shots in my film I am working on adding some "last minute" details to certain scenes. I've made a fetus collection (mini sculptures) that show the different stages of human development before birth.
These fetus creatures will grow out from a seed via umbilical cord. Each time the test tube glows a new development stage of the fetus will be revealed.
Close-up
The mini sculptures are made of "Fimo" some sort of plasticine that hardens when you leave it in the oven for 30min. Just before shooting I sprayed them with water to give them a shine and to make them look more realistic.
Camera setup for shoot
Øystein Moe and I shot them yesterday with the RED camera using lighting techniques to reveal them from the darkness.

I am currently editing and comping the shots into the scene with the test tubes. Creepy!
