Pavilion Place


I may not dig the architectural forms on this project but the presentation was put together nicely. To think the whole presentation is composed of stills! This is what intrigued me, who says a presentation has to be animated? And who says they should should be limited to prints? Why not meet half way and create a slide-show composed of many renderings. This could really capture they eye if it is well executed.

Architecture Design In Abstract


I have never, ever, seen an architecture presentation put together like this one! Some may hate it, some may love it. Some may not even know what to think! A little too abstract for my taste, but the stills of the structure did captivate me. The only thing that I would probably do different if I had to roll with it using the same method, I would have probably used more stills of the structure in question in the "shuffle sequences" rather than the random shots of city life used in this video.

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.

3D Animation, Wire Frame & Stills


This is a 3D Animation of the interior of the Marni store in London. Nicely done by Silvan van Alphen and designed by Sybarite. I like how the animator uses different methods to present a single idea with seamless transitional effects. The focus of this presentation is obviously the modernistic stairs which leads to the second level....now that's what I call hardcore modeling! Lots of detail and curves. The camera path leading you up the stairs is incredibly smooth and consistent with relation to height, I know if I ever do an animation going up a stairwell it will not be a walk in the park. I suspect the still at the very end to be an actual photograph of the finished product. If not, then great rendering!

Animated Movie Trailers - must see!!!
