Universe of Energy Disney's Epcot Center Florida Oil Derrick
For scenes flying through an oil field in Disney's Universe of Energy ride, this miniature oil derrick was built and photographed on a miniature landscape. The landscape was placed outside on location at Vasquez Rocks in California and combined the foreground miniature with the background mountains to form the shot using a technique known as Forced Perspective. Made from MDF wood, styrene plastic and cast resin, these derricks had internally mounted motors to allow pumping action during the high-speed photography. 24" long x 19" tall. 1:16 ratio. This incredible, handmade miniature is from the celebrated collection of Academy Award winning New Deal Studios. New Deal Studios is a 21st Century Media Studio, unlike any in the world.
