Video of the Museum Plaza project in Louisville by OMA REX.
Reader, Dave Brown says it best:
“I saw this a few weeks ago and thought it was one of the coolest all time animation presentations ever…
I mean, you’re taken on an emotional roller coaster…at first your like…jeez, who do these guys think they are, showing off their office like that…so pompous…and then you’re like…wtf…where did those bars come from…and then all of a sudden there’s an f@#$#@ing building growing, and the cameras all shaky and shit…and then boom….wireframe, and out of nowhere comes a frigging city where did that shit come from all of a sudden…and just when you think it can’t get any better…
THEY TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL…amazing…you’re in the building…you’re looking at it while driving down the street….you’re all over town…and when you think you can’t take anymore, it fades to black.and you’re like…thank god, i can’t take anymore…only to come back with a friggin 360 panorama…like…let me off…think i’m going to puke…feel bad for the people in the three cars behind me….i mean, what a RIDE!!!!
love it….love it.”

Ok - sorry if that wasn’t clear - the project itself is by REX, the video, by Brooklyn Digital Factory.

Was very cool, but not as CRAAAZZY and NEXT LEVEL as I was expecting. Did architecture just discover tracking? Now you get at least 2 years of proposals containing some sort of DV footage with looming virtual shaky building. The final shot with the day to night transition was nice though, but could have done with spot lights, lasers and flocks of doves.
How about crowd simulation for building flow at various work hours? Dynamic weather for building glare and internal natural lighting examples?

Marcus,
Now I know why you didn’t review it, when even your description is questioned.
Hey Buddy, I ordered a cheeseburger!
I, for one, did enjoy it - I probably wouldn’t have been exposed to it other than on this site.
Thanks dude.
