Miniature Escape from the Great Fire of London
A wide overhead miniature view of the River Thames shoreline at dawn, 1666. Realistic human figures made of matte resin with true human proportions are crowded along the wooden docks and riverbank. Some are waving for help, others sit collapsed near bundles of salvaged belongings. A few tiny rowboats are overloaded with passengers trying to escape. Across the river, the London skyline is engulfed in miniature flames — soft fire glow reflecting in the water. The shoreline buildings behind the people are smoldering, some partially collapsed. The tilt-shift blur keeps outer edges soft while center focus stays on a group of frantic townspeople waving toward the boats. A cart carrying burned possessions tips over on the muddy bank, adding subtle motion. Lighting: soft blue dawn mixed with flickering orange firelight. Camera: fixed overhead with gentle drift to the right. Macro focus. No fantasy, no glowing tech. Everything is grounded and historically accurate, textured like an animated clay physical miniature.
