Kitchen Sink Develops Stunning Futuristic Video For Austin Planetarium















We just got done with a pretty cool project we wanted to share with you.

Davis Architects (www.thedavisexperience.com) hired our team to tell their story for the new Austin Planetarium in Austin, Texas. The $50 million facility is currently in a capital raise campaign, and the Davis team was looking for a compelling way to help people visualize what the Planetarium will look like upon completion.

Rather then generate multiple computer animation videos, we decided to create a futuristic interface to relay the design in a more dynamic manner — putting the viewer in the shoes of the designer, looking at the project on the computer screen of the future.

Using simple green screen methods and a custom interface and audio, the final solution provides a one-of-a-kind presentation that will be used for fund raising and community awareness for the new facility.
