Sneak Preview of Indigo Bluffs Animation

First camera move is rendered, so I thought I'd share. It's essentially the same scene as posted a couple days ago, but with a few improvements. (Of course I would render the whole blame thing before I notice the cameraman whacks his head on a couple of pesky pine branches! We'll fix that next week...)

Who in the world is J. Scott Smith?

I have all kinds of stuff posted here, and I'm trying my best to keep this current. So, if you're looking for sample work, this is a good place to start.

Largest single rendering to date

Currently working on wrapping up a video for the development "Indigo Bluffs", a "distinctive RV retreat" in Northern Michigan. Some weeks ago the client asked us to stage a single lot and render it so it could be used as a backdrop for their traveling trade show booth. Upon speaking with the display manufacturer, we found that they required an image that would print 10' x 12' at 300dpi. Gulp! We had never rendered an image that large, so this was a test for us. It came out very well however, and I'm told it has generated quite a bit of buzz at the shows. It seems they had to spend quite some time explaining that this was a rendered concept of what a site could be, and not a photo of a site they could purchase!

I have included the frame we rendered, as well as a photo of the booth at a show. Nice work guys!

Do your clients read plans?

Well, do they? I'll bet that most don't. But they can tell by looking whether they like a house or not. That is why it is crucial that you include a quality rendering in your house plan package.







Whether you are a large-scale builder with dozens of models available, or an architect trying to convey your vision to a discriminating homeowner, a rendering from us may be all that you need to tip the scales in your favor.

If you need one rendering or hundreds of them, give me a call to talk about how we can translate your plans into a sale.
