Scale lives in the frame
A large object can feel small if the camera supplies miniature cues.
Live interpretation / interact with the view
The source idea
The perceived-scale lesson connects lens choice, framing and depth of field to how an audience reads an object’s size.
Our interpretation
Horizon Planet uses a broad planetary form and a restrained surrounding field. The interaction makes the horizon the main scale cue, letting a simple shape suggest a larger world.
Orbit and compare the horizon’s curve with the amount of empty space around it.
