Expo Architecture Competition 2007


Impressive animation made for the Expo Architecture Competition in 2007. It would be interesting to know how each sequence was meshed together. Obviously a video editing software... but what were the techniques used is my question. Very nicely done.

ArchiCAD And Artlantis


This animation is beautiful, great choice of music too. I remember hearing this music for the first time when I watched a film called "The Island". Modeled in ArchiCAD 12 and animated in Artlantis! Two powerful programs that work well together many claim. Great job to the people at Crescendo.

Fast Paced Animation


This is a very fast past video, but does have a wide array of presentation techniques. I speculate that this could have been made to practice several techniques in one go. From sun shadows to animated people to "construction simulation" (the part that shows the beams which support the glass ceiling/skylight)... this short animation covers it. Like I said, it could have been a test to see what the particular program/s can do to achieve certain outputs. Interesting clip.

Cidade da Musica


This is probably one the most extensive architectural animation I have seen to date in terms of length. It lasts for 10 minutes and presents to us the "Cidade da Musica", a good portion of the presentation is shot during the day and then followed a night animation which shows off the pleasant lighting effects. I love the part where the "Grande Sala" transforms into an opera! The animation then shows a bunch of amazing still renderings of some of the smaller areas of the structure along with actual site photos of the project being built. This building was given the full treatment. Great work to all the people who contributed to this.

Animated Movie Trailers - must see!!!
