Marbling Fine Arts, located in Tokyo, has been in the models and miniatures business supporting the Japanese film industry for more than 37 years. We currently provide over a 90% share of the miniature effects business to the local motion picture film industry in Japan. Our work was recently nominated for a 7th Visual Effects Society Awards ” in Los Angeles in the category of “Outstanding Models/Miniatures in a Motion Picture.
2010 finds Marbling Fine Arts expanding to the United States and opening up our first office in Los Angeles, California. Marbling Fine Arts, Los Angeles will specialize in producing models/ miniatures, props, design, weapons, armor, vehicles, airplanes, ships, and other displays and will offer the same services, standards and quality as its parent company in Japan.
Under the leadership of Norihiko Iwasaki and his belief in expert craftsmanship, we will make it our mission for Marbling Fine Arts, Los Angeles to become the premier miniature effects facility here in the United States. Our goal is to maintain the Japanese tradition and art of creating hand made miniatures that are viable in facing the challenge of competing with the digital effects industry by the understanding that combining the best of miniatures with digital effects will enhance the overall look of a modern motion picture.
