All talented filmmakers (feature films) borrow and even steal shots from the films they respect.

the entire argument about plagiarism is moot.

This is Vivian, co-founder of Tronic. I couldn’t read these the comments by “anonymouse” and not respond. I find your comment so narrow minded, so uninformed and so sophomoric, it really was discouraging to read. A shared architectural language is purposeful and necessary, just the way action films have a shared language, so that you understand it to be an action film and it belongs to a specific genre. The website for 56 Leonard was actually designed by one of the founders of KDLab, and he too thought your comment was unfounded and unhelpful to designers and other creatives making new work. Of course, there are instances of work being copied and that can be very frustrating, but before you make false accusations, it is better to do some research so that you don’t unnecessarily say things that not only are untrue but hurtful to the people who worked hard to create it.

You cant name a genre of filmmaking unless many other filmmakers over a period of time have contributed to what is widely known as the visual vocabulary of that genre.

lets check back in 20 years to see if Architectural filmmaking is even a memory for all these retired mographers.

jeeez….

the computer has a way of making people feel so enamored of their ideas, they can start to write history before it even takes shape on its own

a well done piece, definitely…but isn’t call it “architectural film making” sort of like calling your “secretary” an “administrative assistant”

It's probably just a coincidence but about nine months ago our little studio did some work for Standard Life Investments. We animated five of the buildings they where involved in funding and one of them reminded me of this. Have a look see what you think. Video Here

Meh. The reflective ball reminds me of Terminator 2 T-1000.

since i am anonymus, not like i care if anyone takes me serious around here… isnt the internet a lovely place.

but i do think that ripoff as such might have been too strong a word, but like i pointed out in my other post, at first the music reminded me of the piece, then later on there is the exact same shot… lets call it ‘inspired’ instead ?

Very good movie.

let me get this straight.

two companies both did a piece that features a shot of a sihouette standing in front of a window. and the camera in both shots is moving left to right. therefore, one is a “ripoff” of the other.

thank you for making it crystal clear just how seriously you should be taken.
