This is one of the best architecture animation I’ve come across, how they blend the 3d into the video is something really professionally done. Ryo from PushPullBar has the answer to it.

In after effects pro, you have a motion tracking and (un)stabilization tool. Adobe AfterEffect I’d used this if I was them. Just track the cam’s motion with 3 points in space and composite with the 3dmodel and it’s (nearly) done! But it’s a lot of work to get the lighting and contrasts right when doing the renders. You should use an actual HDRI shot in place to make life easier in that case.

The animation is done by Broklyn Digital Foundry, just visit their website and you’ll be amazed by its portfolio. If I were to rate them, I would give them 5 starts out of 5. Perhaps more.

The building is a brilliant organization of a complex program, which ends up as an unorthodox form. Yet there’s what appears to be a huge plinth/plaza in the project, and it isn’t clear what the edges are like. Has OMA a brilliant solution to the plinth, too? The one part of the video that gives us a little urban chill is the one that says “Connect To Context”, and a couple of stair towers appear. Uh, we tried that in the 60s and it didn’t work: elevated plazas not continuous with the street level get no foot traffic.
