Congrats to the winners and runners-up. Really great work there.
Was anyone here involved?

Seeing Weta as a nominee for King Kong and that chinese company video as a winner I start wondering if they are really giving the award to architectural products or maybe some more wow cinematic effect video productions slightly related to architecture. Why not award some top notch game intros, some BBC ancient egypt recreations, and the entire hollywood production of this year? I like the videos, but come on...have u seen that chinese warrior atop a horse?

[re:FORM]

Ha! yes, I was thinking the same thing.

The work from Uniform is what really impressed me (and it was strictly architectural).

[Guca]

I believe the BHAA is a great animation, but from my point of view uniforms animations were more close to the architectural concept. maybe next year we can have diferents categories i think that is the key. the same history with the still I found really hard to put at the same level internals and externals images.

Hi guys,

I was involved in creating both Uniform animations. I've been very pleased with the feedback we've been receiving from the pieces we submitted. It's certainly motivating to hear industry peers praising our work.

I was surprised at the range of styles of animation which were shortlisted for nomination. As Guca has said, I think our animations were more typical architectural visualisation than the competitors.

The BHAA animation was very good, it was truly epic in scale and the extreme wide aspect ratio worked really well.

I can't help but agree with what Panthon has said about the awards going to cinematic quality over architectural content. But I guess it's difficult to draw a line at where an animation stops being an architectural visualisation and becomes a cinematic featuring architecture..

I wont argue, its your forum, lol, but I still don't see how this is DIRECTLY related to vray

But don't mind me, I'm just an anal-retentive old forum grump.

you forgot to add: stuck working on kids materials thereby missing SIGGRAPH...

how this is DIRECTLY related to vray

maybe it should indeed go in the "tip and tricks" section, under the post name of "here's how you make good ideas look great with vray"

Jokes apart, uniform blew me away, not only for the archviz per se, but also and most importantly for me, for the quality of the overall edit, with the animation and music flowing very pleasantly indeed.
Quite some change from the standard, for the better.

Grats guys!
