We really tried to push the client to go for a fully-animated walk-through but the budget just wasn't there unfortunately - stills were their main requirement with animation secondary. I think the animated stills was a good, lower-cost solution to the problem, because the client was extremely keen to have an animation of some kind, and it ended up being very well-received.
@ chris - yep they come along rarely. in this case we needed every day we had because the amount of work involved, particularly in the modeling, was intense. the timeframe was also that length because the architect was still designing some of the spaces as we were working, and the client needed time to make furniture and material choices as well. if you crunched the whole production time just at our end and removed all of those elements it would probably have been more like 3 months.
