Visual Acoustics Trailer

Looking forward to this documentary on legendary architecture photographer Julius Shulman. More info about the film here.

Narrated by Dustin Hoffman, VISUAL ACOUSTICS celebrates the life and career of Julius Shulman, the world’s greatest architectural photographer, whose images brought modern architecture to the American mainstream. Shulman, who passed away this year, captured the work of nearly every modern and progressive architect since the 1930s including Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Frank Gehry.  His images epitomized the singular beauty of Southern California’s modernist movement and brought its iconic structures to the attention of the general public. This unique film is both a testament to the evolution of modern architecture and a joyful portrait of the magnetic, whip-smart gentleman who chronicled it with his unforgettable images.

'The Third & The Seventh' – Brilliant 3D Work

I'm first posting this stunning compositing breakdown video, which is a behind the scenes look into how the video below was created. This one has some of the best 3D and compositing work I have ever seen. 

 

This is the main video, 'The Third & The Seventh', which is a little slow, but in a good way. It focuses on the architecture and the surrounding atmosphere. And believe it or not this WHOLE video is 3D. Mind blowing.
