A visually compelling video. I wish the more areas of the region had been highlighted, but the technical execution of the project was very good.
Beautiful graphics, showing the venue very well.
Holy moly; the video quality on this was supurb. i liked their ability to pan as well - great camera work.
This felt like an experience. The camera work did a great job showing off the environment and all the little details that could easily be missed walking through it. The lighting and overall mood were really well done, and the space itself felt like the star of the film.
I especially liked how much attention was given to showcasing the build and letting the viewer take it all in. Really solid use of the SLEA7 environment and a polished presentation overall.
