<strong>of</strong> models to create live animation projected onto<br />
a movie screen. In The Great War, battlefield experiences <strong>of</strong> a young combatant in the<br />

manipulated by nimble fingers are transmogrified from miniature battlefields into<br />
hyper-realistic war scenes!<br />

it brings tears to the eyes” – Daily Post, UK<br />
