A study model is filmmaking nomenclature for a rough miniature built to study how a particular design might look in three dimensions. Study models can be extremely crude, sometimes made of illustration or foam core board, or sometimes cobbled together from found objects, or sculpted from foam or other substances. Often crudely detailed, they are not meant to be used in actual production, but to evaluate a design from all angles before moving forward with or scrapping the design.
Occasionally, Study Models end up on camera when there is need for such a design to appear in the background of a shot where its limitations will not be apparent.
