Working alongside friend and web design colleague Iain Hamilton I created a short video clip that was to be an eyecatching feature for the homepage of Spectrum Properties. Iain had created the site and needed a graphic made to fit a portion of the homepage. It was to promote their summer office sale and to grab the attention of visitors. Iain suggested the building-themed flyover idea with structures rising from the ground and I elaborated on it from there.

The camera follows an irregular path around a block of buildings which rise up from the ground. The final building displays a banner with the Summer Office Sale headline. All buildings and details were made using box modelling techniques. The distant buildings were added using a plane combined with the greeble modifier. Lighting was set up using a daylight system with haze-driven sky. Finally the banner movement was pre-rendered using 3DSMax's reactor cloth modifier.
