Adam visits the model shop of @LAIKAStudios, where Wildwood's intricate sets, props, and vehicles were meticulously designed and fabricated. It's where Adam finds a strong kinship with fellow model makers, and where he learns how much innovation and mechanical problem-solving is needed to engineer miniatures to support and push forward the art of stop-motion animation.
Wildwood is in theaters October 23rd and tickets are available at: https://wildwoodmovie.com/
