Looking For A Good Animator??
-
Hello All,
Does anyone know of, or could anyone reccomend a good animator for photo-real, HQ, animations? We are specifically looking for an animator who will work with geometry generated in SU by the Architect. What we have found is most animators use people at the production level who do not have much, if any Architectural background. The animators we have worked with do not like taking geometry generated be the Architect, or geometry generated from Sketchup, mostly because of workflow and interoperability issues. Thus everything is modeled at least 2x. Because their modelers have less Architectural background we are constantly going back and forth with corrections.Like most Architects we are often designing and refining through the process. We would produce the animations ourselves but we do not have the computing / renderfarm horsepower to do it efficiently or to the quality we want. My conclusion is we need to find a quality animator who at the very least will work with the geometry we generate. Can anyone reccomend an animator? Has anyone found themselves in the situation I just described?

Our firm specializes in master planning and design for large continuing care retirement facilities (CCRC). Typical animations are exterior fly-throughs of campuses with mid-rise apartment buildings, single family cottages etc. We also have done interior animations of typical apartment units. This is one we did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-02TDAzWPc. It took 7-10 days to render in Kerkythea at lower settings in order to get frames to render at 5 min. each at 25-30 fps. I think most of the animations though are exteriors. No animated / moving objects. Pretty straight forward.
