Here is an example of a QuickTime movie we presented to our clients last year. A couple of things I should mention:

1. The background music is cheesy, but license free and it came off OK.
2. We spent very little time on this since we were still trying to get the commission to land the real job. We were not paid to do more than basic DDs (plans, elevations, some interior shots). But ArchiCAD is a great tool to accomplish all that PLUS a little more.
3. This shows good use of ArchiCAD and Artlantis Studio (versions 11 & 1.0)
4. We spent less than a day on post editing, using Apple's built in iMovie and iDVD programs to make the final product.
5. While this appears dark on your screen, it was calibrated for a LCD projection system and would "wash out" if not for a high contrast.
6. Dwight is right about short sequences to tell a story. We actually did a story board as a team to discuss what shots were more important and how we wanted to "tell" them.

I wasnt involved in this project, or am part of this company. Im not even sure they use archicad (although there a lot of macs in their office- so there is a chance they might) .

CrazyHorse the Beach Town project is a perfect example of ArchiCAD's strengths. The design process was 3D, which helped everyone at the firm develop a strong solution. The presentation convinced the possible client, you get the contract. Now the model works it way thru CD's with tweeks from structural, etc. It survives, gets improved each step and helps to produce the drawings necessary. Great example of work.

Very nice work! Architecture is about experience for me and to the end that animations can help immerse clients into your design in ways that stills cannot. I do agree with Dwight though that too many animations are focused on slick 'fly-throughs' with anemic camera paths that do nothing to create an immersive experience (and a lot to cause upset stomachs). Tastefully 'ken-burns effected' stills that transition from space to space can be more immersive, intimate and detailed.
