Appartment Project in Belfast - Update

Paul,

This is sensational work. I can confirm, as someone who walked this road regularly for 10 years, that this is amazing work.
I almost nostalgic now and would like to nip over for a curry chip and a trip to the off license!

Cheers Paul and keep up the good work!

Paul,
Awesome modeling. The animation portions sounds like a TON of work.

My comments if you dont mind me being so bold.

Speed it up. Watch tv and time what they show in what amount of time. You will be amazed on what a 'short' clip can portray.
Rotate the view occasonally to show more of the architecture. The main focus seems to be the road itself.
Create mini-clips, fly by / around some of the buildings.

All in all, my hats off to you,
Good Job.

yeah, this is awesome paul! i'd agree with robert... a little speed might help... i know you want to showcase the detail..

Paul Russam

Thanks all for the nice comments.

Robert, I know what you mean but this part of the presentation was to show how well the scheme fits in with the existing street whilst someone talks the audience through it, if it went faster then by the time they've mentioned one thing they already beyond the next point they wanted to make.

Apart from all that YOUR RIGHT, its turgid, slow and boring!!. The ability to plan and edit shots is not one of my skills, I tried to find a course here but to no avail, I assume it would be perceived in the film industry as directing.
If anybody has some ideas or knows of an online resource then I'd love to know about it/them

Back to the anim:
Tell you what, take a guess at to which is the new scheme, a gift box of 300 spare vertex's to the winner.

Impresive result, Paul! Certainly a lot of work went into it.

Outstanding visualization! Liked the way the road went up hill and around curves, plus the trees and walls etc along the way.

This is really nice, Paul

I particularly enjoy all the road markings, mainly because I know they are such a PITA.

Where did you get those great trees? I am always looking for sources of foliage

Great job!

archtech

In the end, you have to do what the project / client calls for.

Here is a link to a video I created about 2 years ago. It has a few clips with some basic transitions. It is a bit slow too, but I think the music makes up for it. It was created to get approval from the local aging community, for that reason, I tried not to make it too flashy.

I have no information on directorship tutorials. My only advice is to watch TV and see how long their clips are, what types of transitions, etc.

Anyway, Good Luck on your Journey

Robert, That's an amazing presentation, too. I don't even think it is too slow...

Paul,
Is it the new apartment building on the right corner of Lennoxvale, currently a derelict dwelling owned by QUB?

Paul Russam

Good guess Nigel or do you have some inside info?

Here's the first 20 free vertex's, use them wisely:

Paul,
I am in the employ of NHBC across the road.
I've been looking at this for years every time up at the office wondering what is going to happen. Nice to see that something is being done.

Paul Russam
