3D architectural animation
In a nutshell
A 3D animation is a video walk-through of your project, with a moving camera, that shows the order of the spaces as they will be experienced. It works for presenting a hotel, marketing a development or convincing the owner. The typical commission is 45 seconds long and is delivered in about 20 to 25 business days.

When an animation is right for you
What a video can tell that a still image cannot.
A 3D architectural animation moves through the project with a camera in motion. It is useful when a still image is not enough to convey the sequence of spaces: in a hotel presentation, in the marketing of a development or in front of the owner.
The standard commission is a 45-second walkthrough, delivered in about 20 to 25 working days. First the script is written and the camera shots are agreed in a storyboard; then it is modeled, rendered and edited. We deliver the video and still frames from the walkthrough.
