This is the best CG digital environment that I, and You, have ever seen in film. That's it.
Watch it.
Yes, I know, you've seen Avatar on IMAX, 3D and what-have-you, but spend a year making a 10-minute film, as Alex Roman has done, and you get this, a tribute to architectural photography which as far as I've seen, in unparalleled to any fully-CG film out there today.
The film is made exclusively in 3dsmax, Vray, AftereEffects and Premiere (and some other software for its soundtrack), Alex Roman has even posted a supplementary film which deconstructs small segments of the piece into its digital layers, apparently just to prove that it is in fact all digitally modeled. After seeing the film, you'll be skeptical too, so
check it out here.
Rather than wax lyrical on the achievement, or the incredible quality of this, I really think you should just go watch it, it's just over ten minutes, a healthy break I promise.
You can translate an
interview here for some of the background.
Dim lights, Headphones on, Fullscreen. Enjoy.
