This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in quite a while. Samuel Copeland and Aleia Murawski create amazing miniature worlds for their pet snails and they are insanely impressive.
Commissioned by @apple for Valentine’s day. Sam and I have been working on this nonstop for the past couple weeks and are so excited to finally share. This commission has felt unreal and special as we always shoot on our phones – all of our previous video work, including music videos, have been shot on our iphones. This project gave us the opportunity to work on a longer narrative, to follow two snails from high school sweethearts into their old age. Please watch the version with sound on @apple ig 
we hope you enjoy this one
So how did anybody even think about doing something like this?
Copeland said that he and Murawski started the project when they found the snails while visiting Copeland’s parents in Illinois. He added,
“We made a terrarium for them…and around the same time, we started making miniature scenes together.
At first, we were keeping them as pets and just loved looking at them every day. Then we realized, the sets we were making were roughly snail-sized and we loved the idea of animating these rooms.”
Take a look at these little worlds they’ve created. They are spectacular.
