Plan a Small Scene That Tells a Big Story

Choose one moment, one focal point, and a few supporting details before you start building.

A strong miniature scene does not need to include the entire circus. Start with one story: performers arriving, an animal-free parade, a ticket booth opening, or the circus train unloading. Sketch the viewing angle, decide what should catch the eye first, and leave some open space so the scene can breathe.
