Shibuya Animation wraps....

just a quick post to announce the pending release of our second installment in the "Architecture and the Unspeakable" series - I've posted stills and some test footage from the project before, but we finally got everything together:

big up to BBB whose detailed models are peppered throughout the production!

very nice! cool animation/lighting.. & style is also very unique... i liked it very much!

[stevesideas]

Very nice indeed. Love the quick change of ambience between different states. Congrats

that's quality there, love it. maybe it would have felt a bit more natural to see the noise in some of the shots behave as actual film grain, instead of being fixed, but that's just personal taste I guess.

Wooow ! I also liked the 1st part
Awesome !
As it was said before, great lighting, great comp, really cool atmosphere, I also like it very much !
Congrats

Great Images.
You're lucky you have clients like this. I could never do a image like this for a client, i tried it once and all he said was that it looks like a bad photo with blurry edges, grain and no sharpness....

Nice! The sound effects really add to the scene. Interesting shots and editing.
The beginning reminds me of 'Ghost in the Shell' a bit- the way they connect into the a data matrix of the city.
Nice diagramatic depiction of info.

thanks for the kind words, all...

Ollie96 - I hear you. You may find this disappointing or reassuring - i don't know - but this project was, for the most part, an internal project since it was a collaboration between my architecture studio and my digital media production team...work is almost always more interesting when you do it on your own terms, no?

Wow this is really great. I love the rendering style of the stills.
And the video is really cute and catchy.
I love everything asian.

Love the style, seems youthful and playful unlike a lot of real estate videos which are stale and boring

[joconnell]

It's completely rubbish. Especially the photorealistic cg bits. Like the choppy style on the position changes, well done sir.

[KAKTUSDIGITAL]

Fantastic stuff!! I especially enjoyed the start where you had that animated mass. How did you render the bits with the moving curtain? BF/BF?

[johnszot]

KAKTUS - the curtain was actually LC/IR; got lucky that we didn't have any noise as the LC/IR formula became problematic on jobs since then that needed dynamic elements. the studio has adopted a BF/BF policy using isolation and compositing to deal with such situations now. i don't think we'll be going back to LC/IR unless we get desperate due to the amount of hassle

thanks again everyone for the kind words on the work
