What we create

Move through the building before it is built

An animation shows the experience: arriving at the entrance, crossing the lobby, stepping out onto a terrace. For launches, investor meetings and public consultations, two minutes of film can explain a scheme better than twenty slides.

We start with a storyboard and shot list, agree camera paths with you in a quick preview, and only then render the final frames. That way the expensive part happens once, after the decisions are made.

The finished film is edited with music, titles and branding, and cut into shorter versions for social media if you need them.

Why choose us

Films planned shot by shot

We plan every film shot by shot and agree it with you before rendering, so the finished animation arrives exactly as expected. Every project starts with a written quotation, a named point of contact and a firm delivery date, and you can begin with a small trial task.

  • Your standards first

    We work inside your templates, title blocks, families and naming, so files drop straight into your workflow.

  • Qualified AEC team

    Architects and engineers who know how drawings and models are used on real projects.

  • QA on every delivery

    A separate reviewer checks accuracy, completeness and sheets against the brief before files leave us.

  • Work in your time zone

    Shifts overlap US and UK working hours for calls, reviews and quick turnarounds.

  • Confidential by default

    NDAs on request, controlled access and secure file transfer for every project.

  • Scales with your workload

    Add capacity for a deadline and scale back when it passes, without hiring.

Our approach

Walkthroughs, flythroughs and short films that move through your building and its setting, showing how spaces connect in a way still images never can.

Cost & timeline

What shapes price and timing

Four things that decide the quote, so there are no surprises.

  • Number of views

    Each extra camera adds scene work, but shared scenes keep costs down.

  • Model detail

    A clean BIM or 3D model saves time; drawings only need more modeling.

  • Turnaround

    Standard schedules cost less than rush deliveries over a weekend.

  • Resolution and use

    Print hoardings and 8K stills need more rendering than web images.

Most architectural films run 60 to 120 seconds. Social versions of 15 to 30 seconds are common too.

Yes. We draft it from your brief and refine it with you before anything is rendered.

Yes. You see a low-quality preview first, so camera paths and timing are agreed before final frames.

We add licensed music, titles and branding, and can work in a voice-over you provide.

Yes. Build sequences and logistics can be animated for clients and stakeholders.

Yes. The same scene produces high-resolution stills, which keeps everything consistent.

A typical 90-second film takes three to five weeks, depending on scenes and revisions.

Files are shared only with the people working on your project, through secure transfer or your own platform. We sign NDAs on request and never reuse your drawings, models or data on other work.

Per image or per film for a defined scope, or hourly for open-ended work. The main factors are the number of views, how complete your model is, the resolution and the turnaround.
